Detectives of Wells Fargo Company
are in this city investigating the dis
appearance of sack of amalgam
shipped from Manhattan to the Mint
in this city, and according to the re-
ports that are current to-day they
have clues that will lead to the arrest
OF local man or men. These reports
cannot be authenticated owing to the
silence maintained by the Wells Fargo
officials.
From what can be learned the ship
ment was made ten days ago and has
been traced by the detectives to this
city. 1t is understood that 1t arrived
intact at Mound House and was trans
ferred to the Virginia & Truckee train
at that place. II is also claimed that
the missing sack disappeared from
view afer leaving that transfer sta
ton and that when the shipment was
delivered at the United States Mint
In this city only one sack was ac-
counted for.
Yesterday afternoon detectives Cain
and Elliott of the Express Company
arrived here from Reno and began the
Investigation. They visited the local
mint and were shown the records OF
that institution, owing conclusively
that only one sack was delivered
there. They are still working on the
case and expect to clear up the mys-
terry at an early date.
Although at the present time the
investigations are being carried on
in this city 1t is also ,tated in this
connection that the shipment was
never received at Mound House Dut
was shipped to this city via Reno.

The latest story on the theft Of a
sack Of amalsam came to light this
afternoon. From what can be learned
a shortage has occurred in several
shipments of sma!gam from the
camps Of Manhattan and Round Noun
tain and the detectives OF Wells Fargo
have been unable to locate the thief.
It appears that Wells Fargo had
this last shipment sent out as a decoy
10 keep an eye on II in hopes that
the thief could be apprehended and
the practice stop.
Two sacks Of amalsam were placed
In larger sack which was tied in the
middle making two compartments, the
smaller sacks being placed one on
each side OF the middle tie, The
end Of the sack was then sewed up
and sealed and the shipment was
started toward the local mint by the
way Of Reno.
The sack arrived here billed as
one sack OF amalgam and the same
was delivered to the mint and signed
for. but when opened 1t only contained
one Of the small sacks Of the precious
article.
II would appear that the men sent
out by the express company to watch
this last decoy shipment failed to
make good and the amaIeam was TAX
en- out Of the sack as on previous oc-
casions and the company is out that
much more.
The company detectives are still
In this city investigating the disap-
pearance OF the sack but stoutly main
tain that they are here only for an
inspection Of the local office.

Mckinley Stronger Than Hanna.

William Allen Whites new series of
political articles In the American Maya
zine promise to be compact of ideas and
facts, They are to review the progress
81 honesty IN business and politics during
the past twelve or fifteen years. 1t may
be assumed at the start that they con.
tain mass Of new material, for Mr..
White has long enjoyed the confidence Of
tho leaders Of American thought and
action. The following extract from Mr..
Whites article in the January American
Magazine is peculiarly interesting IN the
light of the fact that the author knew
Mckinley and Hanna we'll:
sThen came HannaW He made the
kings evil of business in politics chronic
in the politics Of the nation He organ
lied the public service business Of the
country, brought them together, and be-
came the dictator of the superficial gov-
eminent of the United States. But for
the strength of Mckinley, Hanna would
have become an autocrat over all politics
and more business than he controlled.
But Mckinley was stronger than Hanna,
and If Mckinley had lived, he too would
have driven them from the White House,
at least as Stevenson says Of the good
child, as far as he is able"

1t Is Not Enough to Pity.

Charitable organizations can disburse

love for you any more than they can
cat your dinner and take your exer-
else for you, says Rev. Josiah Strong
in the December Circle magazine. God
intended that every man should be
@Charity organizations using the
word charity, not in its derived and
offensive sense, but with its original
meaning of love. When every man
loves his neighbor as himself the So

until then.
| am glad that man who is eating his
Christmas dinner is made uncomfort-
able by the consciousness that hun
cry man is looking ait mis- back through
the window. His discomfort is to his
credit. But let him not think to
square himself with his conscience by
giving that hungry man, or some 9TH

and still indulge himself in every lux

ligent conscience until be has given
himself and his substance for the help
of humanity, thus learning to serve
God in the service Of man.
1t is not enough to pity; we must
love. And only that love is genuine
which denies itself in order to help.

Whale Hunting.

the wheel which the captain was whirl-
ing frantically to port. Bracing orr
selves, we held it hard over, and the
vessel responded almost instantly, re.
lieving the strain on the line, which was
saving back and forth across the bow
The whale now began q series OF dashes
and deep Sounds which dragged the
lines from the winch in spite Of both
brakes and kept the little vessel lodging
from side to side TO avoid his blind
rushes. For an hour and half the mag
nifcent animal carried on the fight, be-
coming weaker and weaker from exhaus-
ton and the loss of blood. Finally he
lay almost motionless on the surface,
about one hundred yards away, blowing
frequently, the blood oozing from his
"spout-holes" and floating of on the
water in great red clots.-Roy c. An

MOTOR ADVENTURES.
Cars Are Not Infrequently Attacked
BY Animals.

Fortunately for motorists, it is not
IA flying leap into their car, as was the
startling experience of lady and two
gentlemen at Lymington recently, but
even more alarming adventures occas-
ionally fan to their lot.
Not long ago, for instance, Nine
Senyer- Bettaque, wall-known singer,
was motoring through forest when a
wild boar challenged her further pro-
gress. Like the foolish Indians, who
ucsed to urge their mustangs against
the giant iron horse of the prairies, this
foolish boar vainly imagined that ne
could annihilate the daring invader of
his forest kingdom. The result to him
self was disastrous, fcf he was speed
ily resolved into ham and bacon trifles,
what time the ear was set careering up
against a telegraph pole, which was de-
molished and injured the lady in its
fall. The vocalist felt that she had a
grievance against the owners of the
forest; the latter wanted damages
against her for the destruction OF their
boar and telegraph pole, and their re-
spective claims are to be adjudicated
on by court of law,
A similar fate recently befell stag
in forests near Giengarif. The Gae-
kwar and Maharanes OF Kapurthala
we're motoring after nightfall through
the forest, when tney found themselves
face to face with an angry stag which,
with lowered horns, barred the way. As
the car refused to stop, much less re-
treat, the stag charged full tilt at it,
and paid tne price tof his misguided
,alor by dropping dead with a broken
neck.
More alarming still was the adyen-
ture of two ladies travelling in mo-
tor car near Roumaie, on the outskirts
Of Paris. A stag that was hard press
ed by the hounds jumped into the car
for refuge, the dogs clamoring and
leaping around it. But alas! his shift
was snort; for the car was stopped, the
ladies' made q hurried escape and the
hounds soon disposed of the stag.
A few weeks ago the occupants Of a
car travelling at high speed along de.
serted stretch of road between Birs
minqham and London late at night saw
large hare racing as If for life in
front OF them. Faster the car went in
pursuit and faster the frightened ami
nal speed until after the run had con-
tinued for few miles, it collapsed and
dropped. When the motorists stopped
they found the hare lying dead in the
roadway, with no apparent mark of
injury.-Tit-Bits.

councilmen have expressed themselves as
to whether or not they intend to be

torney Clarence Burleigh, counsel for
Joseph G. WATSON, Jacob Soffel and T.

he would advise his clients to continue
their councilmsnic duties. II this advice
is acted upon, the passage OF the appro-

MAN ON FORWARD PASS
Some New Legislation Is Needed on the
Play, He Says.

G, Morris Holiday, one of the adj
visory members OF the foot ball com
mittee at Cornell, believes there should
be new legislation on the forward pass.
He says: "The forward pass has not
proved as successful as last year, taking
all unworthy teams into consideration,
and ] think it possible that the foot
ball rules committee will at their next
meeting consider the presnt l5-yard PEN
atty too severe. The greatest power of
the forward pass is not in ground gain
ing. but In its effect on the defense
II compels the opposing team to spread
out its secondary defense, and thus
weakens the defense for old-fashioned
foot ball. Cornell spent great deal Of
time this year in the defense of the
forward pass, and this was the reason
that Chicago gained at times through
our line

Of Rusia's boundaries in all directions
has brought into her possession divers
peoples alien and even hostile TO Russir.
The borders OF the Empire have begun
TO be surrounded by population not
sufficiently amalgamated with the Rus
sian people And in this respect, our
frontiers in 1900 were less favorable in
military sense than in 100.
Russia, in her frontiers Of 1000
miles contiguous to nine different king
doms, needs, my opinion, no alterations
in her boundary lines. This deduction
is tranquiIlizings in the high degree, for
its appears to be entirely probably that
