REWARDS DELAYED.

Eureka Springs, Feb. 19.- Ad- vices received today by James and Fuller lawyers, contain the informa ton that it will be four months yet before the court at Pineville Mo, will pass upon the question as to whether two Ar kansas criminal catchers who re- gently captured two desperate bank robbers at the risk of their lives are to be forced to divide the reward of S1400 with other men.
 The men who feel themselves most entitled to the reward are Cash NJ. Swope and Allison Bou- year, mountaineers living at Bea- yer.

The count of the ballots showed that todd got in by the narrow margin Of 56 votes. There was some talk of a con- test by Williams but this never ripened into action. Jodd's ad- minlstratiOn has been marked by the application Of business principles and it is pretty gen. orally conceded that it has been at least financial success. The "reformers' claim a large DOT tion of the credit for this howev- CT as most of their aldermanic candidates were elected and the council is now composed chief ly of prominent and reputable business men.

NAMES GAME RECORD.

BANGOR, Me-, December 16. Names
big game season closed at midnight last
night and from the records kept of game
passing through this city it appears that
the kill of both moose and deer has been
very nearly equal to that of 1908. Up
to P. M, today, there had been trans
ported to and through Bangor 1854 deer,
124 moose and SO bears, compared with
3173 deer. 1926 moose and II bears at the
corresponding time last year. The
moose and bear records are closed, but
the deer receipts will be increased con-
siderably by late arrivals and will prob
ably closely approach the record of 1908.
Many deer killed in the Moosehead lake
region now go west via the Somerset
road. instead of through Bangor as for
merly, and the decrease in receipts here
in the past two seasons does not indicate
that any fewer are being killed, but that
part of the game is transported by
another route.
On the basis of Bangor receipts it is
estimated that about 5000 or possibly 1O,-
600 deer were killed in Maine this season.
Only about one half of the deer killed are
transported by rail, and of these about
two-thirds pass through Bangor. Some
hunters and guides think that game is
becoming scarce, while others believe
that the animals are as numerous as ever,
but that they have moved farther back
into the deep woods.

THE BELLS OF CHRIsTMASTIDE.

Written for The Republican Journal
Hank, on the air the Christmas bells are peal
ing
Their tidings sweet to every listening ear;
Ginning once more the glad and tender story,
That Christ the Saviour's natal day is here.
Down through the ages comes a far faint echo
Of glorious music sung by hosts above;
And golden harps, soft swept by angel fingers,
Breathe out message of undying love.
List we, oh bells, for We to US are telling
The old, old story, yet forever new,
Of Bethlehem babe, who in a manager lowly
Lay sweetly sleeping all the long night through
In their rude stalls by fragrant hay surrounded,
The cattle kneel in reverence to our King:
All heaven rejoices; earth is filled with glory,
And voices clear of herald angels sing
"Glory to God, Hosannah in the highest,
Good will on earth, for unto us is born
holy child for sin a ransom perfect
Praise we His name on this fair Christmas
MORN"
And SO, oh bells, your music grand, yet tender
Speaks to our souls and bids US never fear;
Tells us our Father from His home in glory,
Watches in love DER all his children here.
