terest IN the patent coupler recently
invented by them. to o. B. Haley, a

OLD MEN TO REAR.
Veterans in Weather Service to Give
Place to Young Blood.

Washington, Aug. Add men make
way for younger blood. This in effect
is the insinuation which has been sent
along the line of the United States
weather bureau field service by Chief
Willis Moore. 1t means in plain words
that the day of men over three score
years of age occupying high positions
in that service is passed. Young men
are being pushed to the front to fiji
the places once occupied by gray haired
veterans. Men who have reached the
age above indicated will not be let out
of the service. but will take less i'm
portant stations
Illustrations of the fact that this is
to become the policy of the weather
bureau are found in the changes made
at Philadelphia, Indianapolis. Cincin-
natl and Nashville. all of which posts
had been filled by men whose ages are
between so and 20 years. but which are
now occupied by younger men.

the wind changed slightly during the
fire and it was saved by means of
buckets of water which were thrown
on the granary by the Delamores and
their neighbors.

Many Prominent Kansans Interested
in Kansas Colorado Project.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug 4-That the
new owners of the Kansas Colorado
railroad mean business and will get

Fort Scott, Kan. Aug. 4.-Doug1ass
Hudson. son of Judge and Mrs. B. Hud-

has been court reporter at Wagner,
Ok, has arrived in Fort Scott for a
two weeks visit with his parents and
friends before going to Washington to
accept an appointment as stenographer
in the navy department of the govern
ment service.
The position to which Mr.. Hudson has
been appointed is an excellent one, as
are the majority of the government po-
sitions at Washington, and his friends
Mr.. Hudson soon obtained position
as court reporter at Wagner. Some
time ago he went to St. Louis where
he took the civil service examination
for a position as stenographer. He

EFFECT NOT WIDESPREAD.
Railroads Not Alarmed Over De-
cision Favoring Scalper.

Chicago. Aug. 4.-That the eff
ficiency of the anti-scalping law of
1875 will be little affected by Judge
Mcsurely's decision dismissing an in
dictment for selling the return por-
ton Of a railroad pass, and that
ticket scalping. except on a picayune
scale, has been virtually eliminated,
was the unanimous opinion expressed
today by railroad officials and attor-
neys. Judge McSurely declared the
law unconstitutional and held that it
was no more unlawful to sell rail-
road ticket than any other form of
personal property.
1.-THE point is an interesting one"
said Bertrand Walker of the legal de-
partment of the New York Central
but will probably have no wide
spread effect. OF course. the Illinois
supreme court decision makes the
law but if a judge chooses to find
otherwise nothing is to be done
Probably the whole meaning of the
finding is that whenever a ticket
scalper comes UP in similar circum-
stances before Judge McSurely, he
will get off,

PREACHED GOSPEL WITH GUN.
Negro Evangelist Was Armed With
Shotgun and Razor.

lola, Kan, Aug. ARMED with a
shotgun and two razors, Alexander
Campbell Pickeri1l arrived in lola to
preach the gospel. What part the
weapons were to play in the religious
awakening he hoped to bring about
here he did not say, but he was very
reluctant to allow Chief Greed to dis
arm him.
In fact he would not permit it until
after the officer conducted him from
the Missouri Pacific yards, where he
was found wandering about, and he
here he did not know, but was posi-
tive that he was sent here to start a
spiritual uplift.

HARVARD MAN COMING TO X. U.
Will Be at Head of Public Speaking
Department.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 4.-The chan
ceIlor's office of the University of Kan
sas has announced the appointment of
Prof. W. H Davis of Harvard as head
of the department of public speaking
at the university for the coming year.
Professor Davis was graduated from
Harvard with the class of 1905, and
last year was assistant professor of
public speaking at that university
Professor Winter, who heads the de-
partment at Harvard, speaks very
highly of Mr.. Davis's work in that
school
Professor Davis will take the place
of Prof. D. L. Thomas, who resigned
a short time ago to take a position as
head of the public speaking depart
ment in Center college in Kentucky.
Up to this time the work in public
speaking has been conducted in CON
nection with the department of Eng
fish, but this year it is made into
separate department, of which Profess
sor Davis will be the head. The grow
ing Importance which the work has
assumed in the past few years made
this change advisable.

ten men to each machine is then
pretty good number, because the haul

there must be thousands of men in

NEW MINING EXCITEMENT
BREAKS OUT NEAR WELLS

This section of Nevada, not to be out
done by the western and southern por-
tions of the state, has been enjoying a
little mining excitement this week, says
the Wells Herald. Several days ago
a gentleman named Chase, who is in
terested with 1. f. Wiseman and other
residents of Wells and Clover Valley
in developing a piece of mining prop
erty in what is known as Honeyman
canyon, about nine miles in an air line
southeast of Wells, went to Elko to
have some rock assayed. While there
some parties learned the nature of the
assays, and Immediately Thomas Har-
ney and a mining man of the county
seat named Blue, boarded a train and
came to Wells, arriving here Monday
night on No. 6. They Immediately
procured transportation and went to
Honeyman canyon, where they made a
number of locations the following day
returning here in the evening after
supplies and bedding, which were taken
out Wednesday.
1t soon became noised around that
something was going on, and two or
three parties from here went out We'd
nesday to make some locations. 1t was
found that a goodly part of the coun-
try in the immediate neighborhood of
the Wiseman-C Chase mine was located.
From the best authority the Herald
is informed that the lowest assays re-
ceived by Mr.. Chase while in Elko went
$74 to the ton, and the highest $lO2,
the average being in the nineties. The
values run in silver, copper and lead,
and the vein from which the ore was
taken is eight or ten inches wide in
the face of a thirty-foot tunnel, which
tapped the ledge at a slight depth be-
low the surface. 1t is stated that every
indication denotes that the vein will
widen as depth is attained. Parties
who have visited the section state that
it is highly m~ineralized, giving every
promise of developing into a very i'm
portant camp.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL
CARRY EXHIBITS FREE

Reno, May 2O.-The following tele-
gram was received by the Journal yes
terday from San Francisco:
"The freight department of the
Southern Pacific railroad has granted
free freight rates for all exhibits sent
from points in Nevada to the Seattle
exposition on it's lines running as far
as Portland. This arrangement was
reached today between the freight de-
partment and the chairman of the pub
licity commission.
"SAM DAVIS"
This is good news for this state and
will prove a great encouragement to
the Nevada Publicity committee in its
work of gathering collections Of min
erals for shipment to Seattle.
This means that all exhibits from
Nevada will be transported to and from
the close of the exposition, entirely
without cost to the committee, as far
as the Southern Pacific company is con-
cerned.
Several more counties throughout the
state have during the past week voted
to support the movement for a magnif-
cent display, representative of the great
mineral of Nevada.
