PRIMA FAcIE EVIDENCE

A report from Washington, D. C., states that:
 "The internal revenue department has planned a series of prosecutions for infractionS of the internal revenue laws all over the United States. Officers of that department made seizures recent ly at two local drug stores on the ground that they were selling cigars in contravention of the internal rev. enue laws. The tops of boxes to which the majority of the stamps were affiX- ed had been removed, thereby leaving the packages unprotected by proper stamps. The government contends this is prima facie evidence of the non payment of the taxes and cigars not protected by stamps must be declared forfeited to the United States
 It is unquestionably necessary for the government to keep close watch on those who desire to evade the rev enue laws. but movements of this kind seem to partake largely of the element of the fake policeman who, represent ing himself to be an officer of the law, takes advantage of an unsuspecting citizen against whom a charge of wrong doing may be trumped up. If the law demands that the covers be left on boxes till they are empty, and the boxes then destroyed, and this is understood by the dealers, the removal of the tops might be properly under stood as prima facie evidence of an evasion of the revenue law. From the report it is indicated that the proper stamps had been affixed, but the tops having been removed for con- venience in handling, the dealer was held on a technicality of the law. It looks as though the government was stretching a point, but perhaps the lesson to be learned is to avoid even the appearance of evil.

Alphabet in Bible Verse

In the twenty-frst verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra can be found every letter of the English alphabet. It runs thus: "And l, even l. ArtaXer- Xes the King, do make decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribes of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you it be done speedily"
 But, still more wonderful, in the eighth verse of the third chapter of Zephaniah is contained every letter in- cluding finals, of the Hebrew lan- guage.-London Globe.

Mir. Roosevelt, will probably as chief executive administer the affairs of government in manner arousing less antagonism than has been manifested during the present administration.
 With a popular candidate for presi- dent the republican party with all its resources and prestige should be reasonably sure of victory at the No- vember elections, and from now on business interests throughout the country should steadily improve.

TAFT'S NOMINATION.

The nomination on the first ballot of William II. Taft by the republican national convention in Chicago Thurs day afternoon was the natural outcome of all that had gone before. President Roosevelt is a politician of the first class. Some years ago, in a speech be- fore the alumni of the University of Rochester, Mr. Roosevelt, then gover- nor of New York, in speaking of the political situation said in substance that politics was the game in which he was engaged. He has shown himself to be consummate politician. He has also won the confidence of the great mass of the people, not only of the United States but of the whole world. Therefore when he planned to have William H. Taft nominated by the republican party to be his success sor, it was almost @ foregone conclu- sion that his plans would succeed.
 From the platform adopted by the convention it is evident that the new candidate for the presidency, if elected, is expected to carry out the policies of his predecessor. Mir. Taft being a man of different temperament from

Cavalry Called In Lisbon to Disperss
tho Crowds at Church.
Lisbon, Feb. 1.-THE bodies of King
Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz Philippe
were laid away beside those of their
royal ancestors in the sacred sepulchers
of the Pantheon. A great crowd, num-
bering into the thousands, struggled
outside the Cathedral of San Vincente
seeking to enter and view the bodies
before the doors were finally closed.
Brushing back the police and the
guard Of royal archers, they poured
into the church, sweeping everything
before them. A panic was threatened,
and the cavalry was called out to dis
perse the pushing thousands. Women
and children were caught in the
and many Of them were br ed
trampled upon, but no fatalities hay
been reported.
Official documents were drawn up
and signed, and the key of each coffin
was given to the patriarch of Lisbon.
When the collins were placed in the
tombs, the cortege separated and the
Pantheon was closed. Premier Fer
reira proceeded to the Necessidades
palace to acquaint King Manuel that
the obsequies had been ended.

In the borough court this morning
Martin Kelley who was arrested Sun

and their bond of SIS each was re.
turned to them, but Kelley could not

The board of warden and burgess
es will meet tonight and some de-
finite action will be taken by the
board regarding the purchasing of a
site upon which to erect the proposed
| new hose house. 1t is said that the
majority of the board are in favor of
purchasing the lot at the corner of
Maple street and Central avenue, but
that they are in doubt as to whether
or not step of this kind would be
met with approval by the citizens of
the borough. Every one feels that
this question is sure to cause an ami
mated discussion by the citizens and
the idea seems to be not which lot
will be purchased, but which lot is
so situated as to be most convenient
for the members of the fire depart
ment to get to when the alarm is
sounded, and also so situated as to
be as near the center of the business
section of the borough as it is pos
sible to be, and Judging from the sem
timents expressed by those interest
ed in the case it don't seem as if
the hose house will be erected on the
east side of the river.

Jones' People Busy

John T. Jones and the people
who are interested with him in the
new furnace at Iron Mountain
Mich, are seeking to acquire min
ing properties in the Crystal Falls
district, says the Drill. Mr.. A. c..
Jones visited Crystal Falls during
the week and together with J. T..
Gibson, of Amasa, who holds the
lease upon the Bird mine, visited
the property and took sample of the
ore in pile.
The Bird ore is just what the
Jones people are looking for. 1t is
low in iron and there seems to be
all kinds of it there. The property
has not been proved to any depth
and it is possible that rich ore will
be met with deeper down.
The policy of the Jones people is
to secure options on all the low
grade lands that they can as they
figure that the furnace has gone be-
yond the experimental stage.

School Trial On

The trial of the suit of Smith &
Vokes the school house contractors
who funked on their contract
against School Dist. No. II is on
this week in Duluth and the old
school board of the district have
been in Duluth all week on the
matter.
Smith & Vokes deposited 5000
as a guarantee of good faith with
the district and after going back on
the contract, the district kept the
check. The suit is brought for the
5000, the claim being made that
the check given was a mere matter
of form inasmuch as the call for
bids did not state a definite penalty
clause.
The district filed counter claim
of $2,145 against the contractors
claiming the district was damaged
to this extent by the non-fulfi1l-
ment of the contract. Judge En-
sign ruled this out of the question,
claiming the 5000 was the only
point in issue.
The case had not been decided up
to the hour of going to press.

BEST CURE FOR HEADACHE
Hot lamentations and Rest Guaran-
teed as Remedies That viii
Never Fail.

Too late going to bed, too early
rising or anything that promotes
want of sleep are fertile causes Of
headaches. Long walks before break
fast are very bad for delicate people,
and often bring on headaches.
Brain repair goes on during sleep.
People often don't know, or forget,
this. If you are worrying or work.
ing hard all day, then 60 to bed late
and get up early, you are very likely
to be martyr to headache" More
sleep is what you need to cure you.
For all nervous headaches hot
lamentations are most comforting
and curative. They are far better
than cold applications.
Want of exercise, living in badly
ventilated rooms, indigestion or any,
thing that lowers the health, predis-
poses to headache.
When headaches are not cured by
simple means, doctor should be
consulted. They mean something.
When hot lamentations are used,
the application of them to the nape
of the neck, as well as to the fore
head, will give more relief than if
used to the forehead only. The heat
to the spinal cord soothes the brain.
