Population Of Rome.

According to the last general census
of 1901 the resident population of the
whole province of Rome was estimated
at 1,142.526, and the fluctuating popu-
lation, Italian and foreign. at 54,3S3.
The increase since the annexation of
Rome to the Italian kingdom in 1871
has been very considerable At that
time the aggregate population
amounted to only S36,704, so that W., hin
the comparatively short period OF 30
years the inhabitants of the province
have increased by fully 305,S22. Ac-
cording to the above census the num-
ber of foreigners in Rome in 1901 was
1855. the Germans numbering 1874,
the British 1,739 and the French L.
3S6. The population of Rome is stated
to be $40. 6.-Westminster Gazette

\ We Published Al.

Every editor and publisher in the
country, says Newspaperdom, knows
there is well full of truth in the fol-
lowing defense of the newspaper which
a contemporary publishes to refute the
oft vaunted claim that the newspaper
press is nowadays, "prying into every
thing" The average newspaper man
finds out the naughty doings, no matter
how secretly they are planned or kept.
If the papers should publish half the
stuff they hear there would be ten
divorces where there is now one. There
would be social ostracism of many who
now shine in upperdom. There would
be shotgun matinees, lynching bees,
hatchet parties, gore, Imprisonment,
desolation and misery.
The editor learns nearly all hypocrisy
of life and it is wonder he believes in
man, woman, witch or the devil, in
heaven or hell.
Many people continually find fault
with newspapers, when as matter of
fact they owe their very standing in the
community to the editorial waste basket.

Straight Railway Track.

In spite of the apparently mathe
matical straight lines which many of
the western railways appear to follow
on the map, it has been stated that
the record in this respect will be beat
en- by the new national transconti-
mental railway, otherwise known as
the Grand Trunk Pacific, 20 miles of
which will be constructed without a
curve. Five years ago. however, a
length of II miles of perfectly straight
railway track was constructed on the
extension of the Rhodesia railways
from Bulawayo in the direction of the
Victoria falls. So far. therefore, as
the length of straight line is con-
cerned, the record is held by the por-
ton of the Rhodesia railways above
referred to.-London Times.

Candidates CampaIQn Expenses.

The Republican and Democratic
county chairmen and the candidates on
the two tickets, have complied with the
requirements of the law and have filed
with the clerk and recorder statements
of their campaign expenses. This is
the finale to an election and as it is the
last news of interest given the public,
the reading of the various expense ac-
counts is we'll worth while and is there
fore published.
According to w. C. Fullerton, chair.
man of the Republican county central
committee, his party had $1485.O0 with
which to conduct the campaign. Of
this amount S1434.33 was spent. Ut
may be added, to no avail.) The state
central committee, or rather, Guggy's
barrel, was tapped to the tune of
5000. 90 to make up the local fund. The
candidates were assessed $50. 90 each.
1t didn't cost the Democrats within
$780, 90 for success to what it cost the
Republicans for defeat. w. T. Plem-
mons, chairman of the Democratic
county central committee had 1910. 05
to spend but could manage to get rid of
only 1926. s5. Two hundred and ten
dollars of this was balance from the
campaign of two years ago, 5000. 90 was
contributed by the state central COM
mittee and the rest was made up among
the candidates by assessments of $4,000
each and a few small contributions
from members of the party.
The small amount at which some of
the candidates place their individual
expenses leads one to believe that
there are those in this county who are
eligible to membership in the Annanias
club. According to some of the state
ments it didn't cost the candidates as
much to run for Office as it does to take
in the sights in Denver. Here is the
list of candidates and the amounts they
claim to have spent:
]. G. Williams, $21O; w. j. Richards,
S343; Mary E. Matthews, S90.75; Fran
ces C. Mayhem, S2O5; C. o. Richards,
$50; Geo. Hamllik, S25; Fritz j. Alt

MS Rat Trap. TO-

Omaha has a youngster who is an
amateur electrician, and who has a
very ingenious way Of killing rats
The prying rodent is caught in an or.
dinary trap, the bottom of which Is
covered with tin. The Omaha boy
has a small dynamo of his own manu-.
facture and one wire connecting with
the dynamo is fastened to the tin lin.
ing of the trap and another is thrust
into the prisoners cell. The we'll.
known propensity Of Gagged rat to
do battle asserts itself, and he seizes
the wire between his teeth. In so do
ing he makes the mistake of his life
The circuit is complete, his jaws close
on the wire with death grip, and
without squeak, and almost without
culver, he passes into a state where
he will bother mankind no more.

Rapid and Good Work.

A gang of Great Northern railroad
engineers and platelayers one recent
Sunday gave a remarkable display OF
rapid bridgebuilding, according to an
English newspaper A bridge outside
Harringay station over the Midland
railways line had to be widened, and
two enormous girders were construct
cd. During the week supports for the
girders were built under the old
bridge, and as soon as the heavy traf-
flc of the Saturday night had been
dealt with gangs of men, working in
relays, pulled up the rails, demolished
the old bridge. and carted the debris
away. BY eight p. m. both girders
had been hoisted into position, and at
midnight the permanent way was in
order again.

gold in Gregory gulch, done itself ex-

beautiful souvenir of this famous old

entitled "Glimpses of Golden Gilpin,

A portable steel fan. with kerosene
oil as a motive power, has been in
troduced in Bombay by a German in

small vertical steam engine fed by a
kerosene lamp and is particularly
available in places where there is no
electric current distribution. The out
fit is about the size OF a small coal

Tides to Generate Electricity.

1t Is reported that a Hamburg joint
stock company has purchased large
tract of land along the mouth of the
Elbe at Cuxhaven, where power works
are to be erected. The action of the
ebb and flow of the tide is to be en-
ployed in generating electrical energy
to be used in factories about to be cs.
tablished. The works will also furnish
electrical power to the town of Cux.
haven and other towns in the vicinity
The daily capacity of the plant will
reach $4,000 horsepower. Tests are
said to have established the feasibility
of this method of generating cleo

Indians a Puzzle.

One Of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians. who
inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains,
in the lower part Of Sonora. They have
fair skins. blue eyes and light hair,
and students of ethnology have al

them. There is tradition. however.
that these Indians are the descendants
of the crew and passengers OF a
