WILL Be GIVEN A HEARING
Two Greeks Charged With Rifling
Bamberger Box at Postoffice
Plead Not Guilty.

Peter 4. Puolos and There's Puolos,
the two Greeks arrested on Tuesday
for rifiing the mail box of the Bamber-
ger Coal company, were arraigned yes
terday before Commissioner Charles
Baldwin. The two, who can speak
scarcely a word of English, are mere
youths, the elder of the two being only
20 years of age. A plea of not guilty
was accepted and their preliminary
examination will be held Tuesday at
10 O'Clock. Their bond was fixed at
$4,000. This they were unable to fur
nish, and they remain in the county
Jail.
There are several counts against
each of the defendants. One of the
charges will be the theft of the key,
for which a penalty of one year is pre-
scribed, and another will be the OPEN
ing of the mail box and the robbery of
the contents. This is the more serious
charge, and a penalty of five years is
provided.
1t is said that the Bamberger box
was not the only one opened by the
defendants. but that. as a matter of
fact, they have been making the COL
lection of postoffice keys a business
for some time.

ELMER {. HILL SUCCUMDS
Was Well Known Railroad Man in
Charge of Denver Demur-
rage Bureau.

Elmer E. Hill, a well known western
railroad man, who was formerly in
charge of the demurrage bureau at
Denver, with a field that included Utah,
Colorado and Wyoming, died Wednes-
day at his home in Denver Mr.. Hill
had for the past 20 years actively en-
gagged in western railroad work. He
organized the first demurrage bureau
i'm the country which was established
at Omaha in 1886. He went to Denver
in 1888 and ha remaiHed there ever
since, during which time he has been
associated with all of the more import
ant western railroads.
Mr.. Hill was born 80 years ago in
Pleasant Hill. Ohio where some men,
bers of his family still live. He is sur
vived by a widow and three children.
The cause of Mr.. Hills death was
asthma, with which he was strickened
six weeks ago. While his illness was
serious his death was unexpected. Ar
rangements were being made just prior
to his death to have him removed to
FL Paso for the winter in hope that
the change of climate would benefit
his health.

First ward and Frank Harris, who lost
out in the Fourth, gave notceeot an
appeal to the supreme court.
The contest was instituted by the

The Democratic ward committee did
not have the right to name a Repub-

in the First ward, and that the Repub-
lican committee did not have the right
10 name a Democrat when their candf-
date withdrew.
To these allegations the councilmen-
elect demurred, admitting the facts as
set forth, but saying that sufficient
grounds to GUST them had not been

CARELESS OF THEIR KEYS.
'Postoffice Authorities Wish People
Would Cling to Them.

There is not a day goes by said
Assistant Postmaster Kessler, when
we do not find keys in the lobby or
remaining in the locks of the boxes.
1t is impossible, of course, to watch
every box. and any eVil-disposed per-
son may come along and extract the
key that has been left in the lock.
People are entirely too careless about
their postOffice keys. The arrest of the
two Greeks who are charged with rob-
bling the Bamberger box brings this
forcefully to mind. A postoffice box
key is something TO be guarded and
rot left out of ones possession

A TALE OF WOE FROM IOWA.
Jefferson's Water Bonds Permanently
In the Foreground.


We might state THU $4,000 Of the
water bonds are due July l and $l2,-
600 due in about five years. Although
the plant was erected fifteen years ago
no bonds have ever been paid. and In
addition TO the bonded Indebtedness
about $1,000 more has been spent on
the layout We are informed the city
has 10 hand about $1,000 to pay July
| on the $4,000 debt then due, and the
balance will have to be extended.
1t would lie good plan II the poor
city could go through bankruptcy ana
give the plant away. II has proved q
fair Illustration OF the fallacy Of mu-
nIclpal ownership. and the Jefferson
property Wner knows #, for he is
holding the sack" II you don't be-
Iieve Il. watch the look upon his face
when he comes ont of the county treas
urer's Office.
A franchise could have been let to
some private corporation fifteen years
ago for the erection Of water plant,
but some one had an idea somebody
else might make a dollar In the deal.
AS a result OF this disposition the city
was handed lemon about the size
OF an elephant Jefferson property
owners would be better off today II
during the past fifteen years they had
paid double the price for water and LET
some private corporation own the oc-
topus on the southwest corner Of block

rh. Maklnn Of piamonds.

IT is quite possible to manufacture
diamonds. Indeed a famous French
man OF science, Moissan, made very
large numbers by means OF his cleo
tric furnace. His process was TO dis-
solve Jumps OF sugar IN molten iron,
subiecting the solution to enormous
pressure. Lump sugar m4 be said to
consist simply OF water and diamond.
IL Is the case that the diamond Is mere
Nv crystallized carbon. There are three
kinds OF carbon-plumbago graphite
and diamond-the composition OF all OF
which is identical. When charcoal Is
dissolved in molten iron, graphite Is
formed. All the diamonds found In
Borneo, Brazil, India and South Africa
are made in much the same manner
that is. by the action of great heat and
enormous pressure. Charcoal formed
from wood has been baked into dia-
monds. the enormous heat and pres
sure of the earth's interior causing the
beautiful white stone TO crystalline OUT,
Although artificial distinct from imi'
tatlon) diamonds have been made for
some time, the cost has been prohib-
tive. while the stones have been OF bul

The Lecturers Subject.

81 call my lecture Glass" said the
lecturer mot because 1t says anything
about that subject, but because OF the
nature OF It. To begin with, IT Is the
sort Of lecture that anybody can see
through. Then | am liable to make a
number OF breaks In It's delivery, after
which It will be full Of funny cracks.
In addition, It requires a lot OF sand
to produce IT, to say nothing OF the
hot air employed. The agents have
blown It pretty much to the commit
tees.
Another point OF resemblance be-
tween my lecture and glass is that
when cut II is much more valuable. |
shan't refer TO the subject any more,
though it is not a safe one to drop.
The principal reason for my selection
Of this name anyway is my knowledge
Of the fascination foreign titles have
for the American people"

hurried away the lecturer desisted.-
