Where Is Tipperusalem

Lippincott's magazine is responsible
for the following:
A Nevada man having extensive
mining claims in the Goldfield region
tells of lucky strike that was made
last year near Carson City, strike that
proved to be of such promise that a
goodly sized camp Immediately sprang
up around it.
The two principal mine owners were,
respectively an Irishman and a Jew
and, as compliment to these leading
citizens the camp decided to leave to
them the bestowal of suitable name
upon the new community.
There followed many conferences be-
tween the two, none of which resulted
in an agreement. The Irishman stood
ont for a name that should suggest his
native isle, while the Jew was Just as
insistent, on his part, for name that
should be suggestive of the chosen
people. This deadlock continued SO
long that the rest of the camp grew
restless, and finally insisted that there
should be compromise. So the new
camp was called '"Tipperusalem."

What They Voted For

The government is much concerned
over the enormous deficit now confront
ing Congress and may recommend a re-
vival of the STAMP tax" in order to
stave of bond issue. This means that
special revenue stamp, of stated value,
will have to be attached to all checks,
deeds, etc., under penalty of fine and
imprisonment if omitted. The stamp
tax has never been used before only as
war measure and even it's considera-
tion at this time shows the seriousness
OF. the financial situation in government
revenues. Congress could, if so dispos-
ed; remedy the whole matter and make
unnecessary the imposition of any adj
ditional tax by cutting off some of the
unnecessarily extravaganza appropria-
lions made by that body, but the idea
of retrenchnenti in expenditures seems re-
pugnant and is generally the last thing
thought of or done. Of course the
System" which controls the finances of
the United States want bond issue
and will force it if possible, no matter
how unnecessary. Again the Bulletin
wishes to remark it is glad, always, to
see people get what they vote for

According to the following dispatch
OF Dec. 10th from York, Pennsylvania,
December is to be strenuous month,
If the prophecies of Lee J. Spangler,
York's prophet and sooth-sayer meet
with fulillment:
According to Spangler, no less a
catastrophe than the end of the world
is to take place the latter part of the
month-probably on Sunday, December
q. However, !; may take place week
earlier, Sunday, December 20, and thus
afford All economical solution of the
Christmas present problem.
Some of the terrible things that will
immediately precede the end of the
world are described by Spangler in the
following fashion:
Nation shall rise against nation.
Kingdom shall rise against kingdom.
There shall be famines and pesti-
lences and earthquakes.
Rivers will dry up.
The fish of the sea will die.
The sea will boil up with great
noise.
The cities of the nations will fall.
Mountains will not be found,
Islands will pass away.
The city of Boston will sink.
New York will go up in smoke
People will flee to the mountains.
The land will dry up to get ready for
fire.
The crops will fail and prosperity will
be cut off.
The banks will keep on failing. This
cannot be stopped.
Roosevelt will get rid of all his
money.
The treasury will go dry
People will carry their money in
their pockets and hide it in their
houses.
Families will steal it from one another
This is the gold that is piled up for
the last days. This gold will rust in
your pockets. 1t will give you more
trouble than good.
Labor organizations will come under
one head and rule the land
There will be great wrath among the
people. Hatred, killing one another,
hanging themselves and children will
rise against their parents, two against
three and three against two. Mother
in-law against daughter-in-law.s
All plaques that are written in the
Bible will be brought forth. The land
will be full of lice, frogs, crickcts and
locusts. whatsoever will be stung Of
these locusts Wilde.
There will be signs in the sun, in the
moon and in the stars.
In the end of time the sun will be
black and the land will be in darkness.
The moon will be as blood, the stars
will fall and the heavens will be
| shaken,

AS result of a coat of tar admin
lstered to F. E. Bliss, Jr., three
wealthy men of Washington were ar
rested. They are Charles Marthinson,
sixty-two years old, lumber manu-
facturer with extensive interests in
the South; James L. White, sixty
years old, stock broker, who is said
to have made 100000 in the market
recently, and Henry Cole, thirty years
old. They were released in $500 bond

lowed visit made by Bliss to the
Marthinson home, and after, as the ar
rested men assert, he had been at

After the arrest the men were Wis

tempted to break up the home of Mr..
Marthinson through the use of hyp-

there is no reception on he appears
in the undress uniform of the Guards.
This carries him until luncheon
time, after which there are some three
hundred uniforms to select from, and
as the Kaiser usually has two or three
functions of some sort to perform he
makes use of his va st wardrobe
regularly and in proper rotation. 1t
is in the evening that the Kaiser is
less brilliant
He makes but a poor show in eve
ming dress; in fact as a civilian he is
not success. His frock coats, accord
ing to the discerning editor of the
Tailor and Cutter, sartorial expert,
hang loosely and in a most undis-
.tinguished manner, and his evening
dress waistcoats are things only to be
worn by German renters and French
mayors.
There is only one fortress during all
these years that King Edward has
not been able to capture, and that is
the stern determination of public
opinion to resist with all it's might the
encroachment of the tall white hat.
Every season for years both as King
and Prince of Wales he has attempted
to lead the nation into the realms of
white hatdom, but this is the one
thing wherein people will not follow
their sovereign.

Olesen views it whit keen interest,
for he knows that his skill will soon
srend it into thousand pieces.
y Olesen becomes practically the COM
mander of the ship. First the surf
boat is lowered, and with the gunner
in command a dozen sailors are sent
away to the defel;ct. They move
slowly around it, taking soundings
on all sides until Oleson finds how the
hulk lays and just where he wants
te~iewer~ the niinessaaybe one mine
will do the work, and it may require
three or four, but the gunner deter
mines all that as. accurately as if the
wreck were in plainfview and he could
measure it with chalk line.
Having made the soundings the
boat returns to the Ship and the mines
are prepared. The5Wet gun cotton is
brought up from the hold and the dry
guncotton is fetched from the cabins.
Sailors are stationed about it on the
deck. Then Oleson produces the cop
per cases in which the explosive is to
be sunk. They look like square oil
cans. Just thirty pounds of gun cot

SMUGGLING In THE PHILIPPINES.

Smuggling in the Philippine Islands
is assuming proportions that make it
a menace to insular revenues. It will
surprise the orderly and law abiding
to know that only few days ago a
casco of khaki, smuggled into the
country by way of the east coast OF
Luzon, was floated down Laguna de
Bay and the Pasig for distribution in
Manila, yet such is the fact.
The cloth was dropped on the east
coast somewhere near Baler, logged
across the mountains to secluded In
let on the lake and boldly brought into
Manila. Sleuths of the Government
got track OF it before 1t was landed,
but there was no way to stop it.

Mr.. Marthinson had been noticing
the repeated visits of Mr.. Bliss to his

that Mr.. Bliss buggy was often seen
before his door. Mrs. Marthinson
says she became frightened at what
she believed to be the possibilities of
hypnotic spell being cast upon her
by Mr.. Bliss, so went to her husband
and asked him to help her out of her
dilemma. Mr.. Marthinson called In
consultation his friends, Messrs. White
and Cole, with the result that an ap-
pointment with Mr. Bliss was made
by Mrs. Marthinson.
When Mr.. Bliss arrived at the Mar
thinson home he was asked to enter,

set upon and his clothing was quickly
taken from him.
Mr.. Bliss was then given the coat
