Civil Service Examination

The United States civil service commission has just announced that examinations will be held for the position of ranger, at the super visors' headquarters, in every ma tional forest. on April 23 and 2l. It is estimated that 300 more rangers will be required during the present fiscal year than were on duty last year. and eligibles to fill these va cancies will be furnished the forest service by the coming examination. The examinations will be held in seventeen states and territories, and at the following places in Ari- zona: Benson. Douglas. Flagstaff. Nogales. Roosevelt, Stafford. Show Low. Springerville.
 The applicant should be thor oughly familiar with the region of the country in which he seeks em- ployment. In Arizona and New Mexico. the ranger must know enough Spanish to conduct forest busin ,ss with the Mexican users of the nations forests. Personal equipment and horses for use in connection with duty of a ranger are furnished by the rangers themselves, and not by the forest service.
 Only those men who are at least r2l years of age. and not more than d0. of good character. temperate, and j1 good physical condition are eligible to take the examination. The salary paid to beginners is SIS perymonth. Compensation runs as high as b1, 400 per year for rangers who have had some experience and demonstrate their ability. Still better places are open to these men, for itiis the policy of the forest service ito fill vacancies in higher positions by the promotion of rang CTS who have proved their capacity.

ORCHARD SENTENCED
To Be finaged May l5-Makes { Short Speech and Then Bursts
 Into Tears

Judge Wood in the distirct court at Caldwell, Idaho, imposed sen- tence of death on Harry Orchard and recommended to the stite board of pardons a commutation of his sentence to life imprison- ment. The sentence was pronounc- ed in accordance with a plea of guilty entered last week,
 Judge Wood said: ''I am more than satisfied that the defendant has not only acted in good faith but that he testified to the whole truth. declaring nothng that had not taken place. l am of the opinion that no living man could conceive of the stories told by the witness and maintain himself under such a merciless cross examination. It is immaterial that two juries de clared they were not satisfied. The statute imposes a bar to conviction upon the testimony of an accomplice unless there is other evidence. The court in each case at the request of the defendants instructed the jury that a verdict of not guilty did not m ,an that they were innocent but that the offense was not proven. "
 The court said that long series of atrocious crimes had be ,n com mitted in substantially the manner of those related by Orchard; that it was impo ssible to believe that they had been committed without many persons being implicated. Sooner or later yielding to rcmorse they would conjoin Orchard in con firmation of his disclosures.
 The judge formally sentenced Orchard to be hanged on May l5. After pronouncing his rulings Orchard asked permission to speak and thanked the c u and re )eated that he had told the truth. Before he finished tears were streaming down his face.

are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out Of the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kid
ney and urinary Complaints. Astoria
people testify to permanent cures,
VIM. Joyce, AZ Duane street, AS
toria, Ore, says; "At the time | be-
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills, | was
enduring great deal of suffering
from my kidneys. The secretions
from these organs were so profuse
as to give me great deal of annoy
ance. As result of not getting my
proper rest at night, would rise in
the morning feeling more tired and
weak than when went to bed and
during the day felt weak and languid.
The slightest exertion caused severe
pains through my back and hips. !

Within stones throw of the rusty,
battered tracks OF Fulton Street three
giant traction tubes offer speedy ac-
cess to all the greater city and its
suburbs, while dozen crowded troll

these out-of-date horse car lines; but

PAYING FOR PRINT
Bearing bushels OF newspaper clip
pings from all over the country,
messengers are to-day invading the
luxurious retirement of Hetty Green
in her fashionable hotel near the park.
For every printed slip bearing her
name and some account OF her re-
cent social fling the formerly par
simonious queen of greenbacks is
paying several good hard cents to a
clipping bureau, AS the reporters
here have not allowed this odd flicker
of Mrs. Green's fashionable ambitions
to be hidden under bushel, the daily
burden of the clipping boys has come
to represent a sum equal to that on
which she formerly eked out a years
living The temptation to force a
few pennies from the purse Of this
lady by slipping her name into copy
IS expected to so impress the outer
journalistic world that in short
while the clippings may come to be
redeemed by the ream.
BACK TO THE MINES
That there is no pay streak to be
hit by real miners here on the floor
of Madison Square Garden has been
demonstrated to-day by the promot-
ers of the Mining Show, which has
passed n its chips and broken UP,
days ahead of schedule time. Four
expert miners from Arizona are
heading lynching party Of other ex
hibitors in the dismantled show hall
to throw back what was promised as
pay-dirt in the face OF certain pro-
moters who have left them stranded
a thousand miles from home. The
fag end Of the show season under
cover is never a propitious time for
any exhibit in the late spring Of Co
tfam; but This mining demonstration
hardly served to draw enough Of an
audience to pay the first days rent,

WHEN A CHECK
 ISN'T A CHECK
Case In Prescott Involving a Charge of Forgery Is Out of Ordinary,
(Prescott Journal-MinerJ

When District Attorney R. E. Nor rison announced in the distr ct court yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock the prosecution rests In the case of the Territory versus Charles T. Brant, Attorney John Mason Ross, for the defense, raised a legal question to which the district attorney objected the court granting at the latter's re- quest until 9 o'clock this morn ng to ook up authorities to sustain his po- sition. The greater part of the trial during the day was taken up in the d scussion of technical questions of law bearing on the ind ctment, which charges the defendant with forging a check in the sum of s92.07, which was cashed by Jonn Lindel, and the in strument itself, Attorney Ross declar- cd in court several times in his argu- ments, does not possess the essential clements of a forgery.
 At the conclusion of the intrduc- ton of test mony by the prosecution Attorney Ross asked the court to in- struct the jury to return a verdict for the defendant for the reason that the purported check was not drawn on any person, firm or corporation. He insist ed on a dismissal of the case on this ground and maintained that there should be some proof to show that the crder was drawn on somebody to whom it could be presented for payment. He contended further that there was no evidence introduced tending to prove that the instrument was ever present ed for payment or any attempt ever made to collect the alleged check, which ne descr bed as a meaningless instrument and not possessing the es sential elements for forgery.
 District Attorney Morrison strongl, opposed Attorney Ross motion and was granted until this morning to prc duce authorities sustaining his pos tion.
 The alleged check, which Brant is charged with forging and which wa .Cashed by John LiDdell in Nove mber .l9O7 reads ss follows:
