A dispatch from Los Angeles says that of nineteen cars of range cattle that arrived in the Southern Pacific yards from Arizona, on the way to Bakersfield, twenty-eight of the cat tie were dead either in the yards or in the cars in which they arrived. Three calves were trampled to death in the cars, others were down in the cars and unable to rise, but not dead. These were killed by humane officers. Still others got down in the yards after they were unloaded. All told the officers shot twenty-five of the suffering cattle.
 J. P. Parks of Arizona, superintend- ent for w. H. McKitrick and A. B, Foley and L. s. Ogle were arraiuged before Justice Chambers on a charge of cruelty to animals. They were to be tried February 3. They are at liberty until that time under S2OO bonds. The cattle were loaded at Wilcox.

SimpIifyine the Records.

The six epresentatives of the gem eral land office who came to Phoenix to 'reorganiZe" the records of the local land office, finished their work and left for Los Angeles. Their work is in pursuance of the new system adopted by the land office for the general betterment of the service. The records of the land offices con- tain thousands of cases, some of them dating back for d generation or two and involving all sorts of entries. Under the old system when new paper was filed concerning particu- lar piece of land it was almost in- possible to dig up in the general office the records appertaiHing that may have been made thirty years ago. Under the new system every case is given d serial number so it can be easily referred to, and the same thing is being done as quickly as possible Three men worked together on a shift one reading from the old record book one entering the new serial numbers and the third operating the typewriter copy for the Washington office. That no time might be lost, six clerks are sent out in the party, three working a day shift and three a night shift It took three days and nights to gC through the records of the Phoenix office.-Republican.

4 Common Cold.

We claim that if ca tching cold could be avoided some of the most danger. Ous and fatal diseases would never be heard of. A cold often forms a cul. ture bed for germs of infectious dis eases. Consumption, pneumonia diphtheria and scarlet fever, four of the most dangerous and fatal diseases, are of this class. The culture bed formed by the cold favors the devel- opment of the germs of these diseases, that would not otherwise find lodg- ment. There is little danger, how ever, of any of these diseases being contracted when good eXpectOrant cough medicine like Chamberlain $ Cough Remedy is used. It cleans out these culture beds that favor the development of the germs of these diseases. That is why this remedy has proved so universally successful in preventing pneumonia. Itnot only cures your cold quickly, but minimizes the risk of contracting these danger. ous diseases. For sale by all drug gists. Samples free.

HALF BILLION DOLLARS
 ARE HIDDENAWAY
It is Said Savings Banks Would Bring This Out And Eliminate a Loss Of
 Twenty Million Dollars.

AdvIces from Chicago say twenty million dollars year is the cost of ''the buried talent" in the United States, the money locked in safe de- posit boxes, buried, hidden in old stockings, under floors and in other out-of-the-way places. That is what hoardings cost the American people in 1908, according to official figures as to the amount that is how out of circulation, out of useful employment, dra wing no interest, aiding no in dustry and benefitting no one. This in addition to the amount of money destroyed each year by the forgetful- ness of persons who bury or hide treasure as a measure of safety. Half a billion dollars is the value of the buried talent of the United States according to investigations made by the federal government, the conclusions of which recently were made public by Postmaster General Never in his notable article in the Wuman's World on the subject of postal savings banks. Even at the rate proposed for postal depository sa7ings, ? per cent, the idleness of the $500, 100000 cost its possessors Sl0,000, 900, a sum equal to the entire public debt of the United States in 1889, and almost as much as the government spends annually in maintenance of Indians.
 However, money is accounted worth in business not less than per cent and very few securities, particularly in the west, earn less than per cent. The basis of computation of the $20,- 900, ,OOO annual loss caused by the safety deposit sort of security was that rate. In the industrial world money-and the money that is now ''hoarded"-is worth more than f per cent. The money panic of 1907 never would have happened if the buried talent of $500, ,OOO, 900 had been in cir. culation, according to financial authorities.
 The chief reason for the hoardings udo OCCh 1Sdl O1 lhO Oc1nhS3 dllnOuSD the net amount lost annually in re- cent years in bank failures is less than the amount which the idleuess of money cost the public, much less. The total losses to creditors of insol vent banks in 43 years has been only S33, ,1S3, ,293 or S77I, ,7O5 per year. The losses during the panic year of 1894 were S4 ,52S. The difference be. tween S2O, 900, 900 and the average an. nual loss is the net loss to the public at figures so conservative that the actual cost of burying the talent is not expressed. Hoarding is a deed re. buked in the bible and generally con. demned-though evidently it is being done on a great, though lessening scale.
