The colonial glory of Spain has
passed away. 1t lives in history and
in the colonies she founded but could
not hold. The world empire that
Charles vi. bequeathed to the young
Phillips has dwindled to less than
the size of a province which in olden
times might have been bestowed with
royal lavishness upon some noble fa-
vorite. The last pathetic relic of this
past power, the Pantheon of the
Spanish Colonies, is now being dis
mantled, and its wonderful collection
of manuscripts and curios are to be
distributed among the libraries and
museums of Madrid. The site of the
Pantheon is needed for other pur-
poses, and the building now only
symbolizes what is no longer fact.
Greece, Rome, Carthage, Spain and
Holland-each has had it's empire on
the sea. Which will be next in the
line of nations to be shorn of its
strength?

home within reach of the laboring
man; transmission OF checks, sigma

BANK LOOTED FOR sl,25O, 900
Pittsburg Cashiers Bail is Raiser
to 100000.
Senator Quay's Son and George E.
Tener, Candidate For Congress,
Become His Bondsmen.

Pittsburg William Montgomery,
iefaulting cashier of the Allegheny
National Bank, who was out on $780,
300 bail, was delivered up by his
oondsman, George E. Tener, after it
aad been discovered by Bank Exam
ner William L. Folds that the defal-
cations would reach at least $780,
300, instead of $469, 900, as was an
lounced at first Continued threats
by Montgomery to commit suicide
also caused Mr.. Tener to act Four
hours after Montgomery's second ar
'est he was released again after his
bail had been increased to 100000.
Mr.. Tener gave $4,000, while Rich
ird E. Quay, son of former United
States Senator M S. Quay, went on
oond for another $4,000.
For the first time since his defalca-
ion was discovered, Montgomery un-
oosomed himself In the presence of
witnesses he told part of the story
If the looting Of the bank. The only
part of the confession made public
was that Montgomery had exonerated
Ill the politicians whose names had
been brought into the case. He also
gave information which probably will
'esult in the arrest of several others.
Examiner Folds stated that al
.hough the defalcation would reach
s1,250 600, and probably more, the
capital of the bank is intact About
100000 has been recovered on notes
Ind stocks.
Montgomery ever since his fcst
arrest, has been absolutely non COM
municarive. The United States
officials and officials of the bank real
zed that a statement from Montgom-
cry would be necessary if any of the
money was to be recovered For an
aoIr after the little party entered the
marshal's Office together Montgomery
maintained his stubbornness. He is
l physical wreck. For four days and
Nights no sleep has come to him, and
he trembled from nervousness and ex-
haustion. The friends who had been
associated with him for years were
forced to use such tactics on him as
ale frequently used by the police in
The sweating" syetem.
Finally Montgomery broke down.
A stenographer was summoned. The
questions were asked Montgomery by
Bank Examiner Folds, while Dickey,
The attorney for Montgomery, saw
that his client did not incriminate
himself. So fearful are his friends
that Montgomery will attempt to take
his life that constant guard will be
kept with him.

Boston's First Building Law.

Two hundred and twenty-six years
ago a house was burned in Boston,
which led to the PRONUNCIATION of the
first building law. This fact devel-
oped at legislative hearing this
week, and when told by Assistant So
licitor Child aroused great interest.
The order passed on March 16, 1851,
was as follows:
about noon the chimney of Mr.
Thomas Sharps' house in Boston took
fire. The wind drove the fire to Mr..
Colburn's house and burned that
down also. For the prevention
whereof in our new town indended
this somer to bee builded we have or
dered that noe man there shall build
his chimney with wood nor cover his
house with thach, which was readily
assented unto. Boston Herald.

The gratitude of millions is due to
one DR., Savary, who has discovered
that delightful habit, hitherto de-
scribed by the ultra-strenuous as a
lazy one, is most beneficial to health.
Before the august body of the French
Academy of Sciences he has declared
that to rise the moment one is called
is sheer madness. When the fatal
news comes that the bath is ready
1t is huge mistake to pay any heed.
The proper thing is to blink lazily
and treat the announcement with the
contempt it deserves for fully twenty
minutes. To leap up at once and
energetically set about the monoton-
Gus business Of bathing and dressing
is most dangerous. This way insan-
ity and all manner of ills lie.

A butcher in France has been sent
to Jail for supplying the army with
bad meat. The damages assessed by
Paris court following recent auto
mobile accident cost the owners $780,
900. When the Opera Comique
burned in 1887, now ancient history,
the managing director was fined
$4,000 and sent to prison for three
months. In France they have views
of responsibility at variance with our

A Poor Argument.

An Oakland farmer found score
of men putting up telegraph poles
all over his best field. He ordered
the men away, but they wouldn't go.
They showed him a paper that gave
them authority to put up their poles
wherever they wished. The old man
looked at the paper, saw it was law
full and walked away in silence. He
went to the barn and turned savage
red bull into the field. The bull
made for the men, the men fed at
top speed and the farmer shouted
after them: "Show him your paper!
Show him your paper!"--Argonaut.

HUGHES MAN WINS.
William c. Wallace Chosen State Sem
ator by 24S Plurality.

dtOf Dy S4S HIufalIty.
Niagara lls.-Despite the oppo-
nt1on OF the bosses and the apathy of
the farmers William G. Wallace,
Hughes Republican and foe of race
track gambling, was elected State
Senator in the Orleans-Niagara Dis
trict. His plurality over Henry A.
Mcmahon, the Democrat who repre-
;ented the opposition to Governor
Hughes reforms, is figured at 24S.
Wallace got 1901 votes, against 1853
Tor Mcmahon. The same district in
1906 gave Franchot. Republican, II :
a46, and Fluhrer, Democrat, 11,196.
Niagara County gave Mcmahon a
plurality of 500, but it was overcome
In Orleans.
Niagara Falls is the home city of
poth Wallace and Mcmahon, and it
gave Mcmahon 478 plurality, but this
Is not strange, as it is saloon city,
and has an open Sunday, and the SEN
timent in favor of race tracks is
strong. Mcmahon carried Waliace's S
ward by thirty-seven votes.
The Dem ocratic majority IN Ma
cara County is attributed to the fail
ure of the country vote to turn out as
largely as expected. Strong objection
was voiced, chiefly throughout the
farmer community, to the special
election. 1t involved considerable ex-
pense, and it was frequently threat
ened that many who thought this ex.
pense unjustified would vote against
the Republican candidate without re-
gard to their sentiment on gambling
The returns show that the vote was
particularly light in the country dis
tricts.

TWELVE DIE IN TORNADO.
Storm Sweeps Through the Towns Of
Eastern Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb.---Twelve persons are
known to have been killed and a score
injured by tornado which swept
over the northern part of Sarpy
County and the towns of Louisville,
Bellevue and Ritchfield The storm,
which gained velocity on its way
south, started in Omaha. At Belle
yue the college buildings were dam
aged to the extent OF probably $780,

jured, none fatally.
The storm was the most severe that
ever struck Eastern Nebraska. The
tower was blown from Park Hall at
the college and the building wrecked
Lowry Hall and Rankin Hall were
unroofed The students ran to the
basement, and many fatalities were
thus probably averted.

Judge Hough Decides Against Negro
Soldier Who Sued.

New York City. - Declaring that
the President acted within his rights
in discharging the negro soldiers of
the Twenty-fifth Infantry after the
riots at Brownsville, Texas, Judge
Hough, in the United States District
Court, handed down a decision that
Oscar w. Reid, one of the discharged
soldiers, was not entitled to recover
pay and emoluments from the date
of his discharge to the end of his
term of enlistment. Chase Meilen,
who was employed as counsel for
Reid by group of New England
men, stated that he would at once ap-
peal the case to the Supreme Court at
Washington.
In its defense the Government had
set up that the discharge of Reid was
for the good of the service. Reid 3
attorneys demurred to that defense,
and Judge Hough's decision not only
overrules the demurrer, but adjudi-
Gates the case in favor of tho Govern
