There has been times in American
history when an advocate of large
families could not have cited the house
hold of the White House as an ex-
ample, for small families have been
the rule in the White House, and the
census taker in more than one admins
tration would have been obliged to re-
port emo family"
Yet only two bachelors have been
elected to the presidency, and one Of
these, Grover Cleveland, changed his
condition by marrying before com
plotting his first term. James Buchanan
in, his youth was party to a romantic
love affair, and after the death of the
young lady he appears never to have
thought of marrying
1T has been said that few presidents

call large families. William Henry
Harrison had the largest; he was the
father of six sons and four daughters
/ He was the oldest man ever elected to
the presidency. Hayes and Garfield

Hayes family were born eight chill.

MINES AND MINING.

A writ and order of sale of the Frisco
mining property, in the Occur d 'Alenes,
has been placed in the hands of the
sheriff for service to satisfy the judg-
ment obtained by David M. Hyman for
a $15O,OOO loan secured by mortgage.
An eight hour mining law, which is
both satisfactory to the operators and
the miners, was unanimously passed by
the house at Olympia. The law pro-
vides that eight hours must be actu-
ally spent by the miners at the banks,
with the exception of a half hour for
lunch. An employer working the men
longer than this is guilty of a misde-
meanor for his offense. Also the miner
who works more than eight hours is
guilty of misdemeanor, punishable by
a fine or Imprisonment, or both. This
section is concession to the union
men. The whole measure is compro-
mise between the mine owners and
miners.
The machinery for the New Republic
mine has arrived. After some delay
, the Republic Electric Light and Power
company's plant has been turned over
to the New Republic.
The Calumet & Hecla company has
.Acured about $4,000 shares OF the
Bigelow companies, for which it paid

weeks, as the lie Roi mine has closed

not an unusual occurrence in the NOV

One morning the wife sent a call FOL
a secret service wagon, with the ordei
that the goods should be deposited

The whole appearance of the littlr

protest against the use of the blacl
wagon. There was a coy dining room
table and serving table. There was al

SWINDLERS NABBED
citizens OF NEBRASKA And
IOWA, HEAVY LOSERS.
J. M. Maybray, as Alleged Leader, Is
Under Arrest at Council Bluffs, Iowa
Colorado and Wyoming Men Are
Dragged Into the Story-Victims Lose
Heavily on Fake Events.

Omaha Neb.-That $1,OOO,OOO was
extracted from the pockets of middle
west farmers, cattle men and bankers
by the Council Bluffs ring in fake )"
wrestling matches, prize fights and races
in the last three years is now consid-
cred conservative estimate.
Hardly week passed for months at
a time that the Maybray gang did not
bleed one victim in Omaha or Council
Bluffs and few got away without drop
ping several thousand dollars. j. c..
Maybray, the brains of the gang, liged
in swell apartment house in Omaha
and with his wife moved in some of
the exclusive 90 West Farnum" society.
j. NJ Maybray, under arrest in Lit
tie Rock as alleged leader Of the Coun-
ell Bluffs gang of swindlers, was for
merly a cowboy on the Wyoming plains
and he and Mayor Dahlman were fellow
cow punchers 25 years ago.
The names of dozen Colorado and
Wyoming men have been dragged into
the story of the operations of the May
bray gang of swindlers, who have been
operating in the west for two years
with fake wrestling, running and horse
races, but not one will admit that he
had been "stung." Two or three have
admitted that they knew of the gang,
but insisted they had not lost any
money.
The reason advanced why so few of
Maybray victims will agree to talk
is that they were supposed to be in
on a sure-thing proposition, and, hav-
ing been duped, they prefer to lose
their money in silence to making an
cutlery and confess their own short
comings.
Will Be Sensational Trial.
That a few sensations will develop
when the charges of alleged swindling
against j. C. Maybray and the four mer
arrested with him are made public is
the expectation.
Ernest l.. Powers, 20 years old, is
in the Denver jail, charged with being
one of the Maybray band of alleged
swindlers. 1t is charged that he bun
coed j. c. Bowman, formerly of Silver
ton, Col, out of $12,70O on a fake FOO
race at Council Bluffs, Iowa. last July
Powers is former University Of Den
yer football player.

ell Bluffs Tuesday from Little Rock il

parts of the country, come to identif,
him in connection with alleged
swindling operations carried on las
year.
Maybray and his fellow conspirator
are said to have swindled farmers
bankers and cattlemen in the middl
west of sums totaling from $780, 900 t.
100000, according to various est
mates, Fake wrestling matches, prize
fights and horse races were the lures.

Achievements-B to Nation

to Panama Canal Construction Navy
More Than Double.

President Roosevelt looks with su-
preme satisfaction over the accomplish
ment of his seven years of administra-

He gives no post of honor to- any one
achievement, but he has authorized a
statement of those which he considers
the most important, as follows.
"The navy of the United States has
been more than doubled; it has now
done what no other similar fleet of a
like size has ever done, viz, circum-
navigated the globe, and it is also in
far more efficient battle trim than
when it started out year ago.

The Panama Canal.

ono feat of quite such far-reaching
Importance has been to the credit of
this country in recent years as the
Panama canal.
"The peace treaty of Portsmouth
was a substantial achievement; as also
was the part played by the United
States in the Algeciras conference,
"The settlement of the anthracite
coal strike was matter of very real
moment to, the American people from
the standpoint not only of. industrial
but of social reform and progress.
"The forest reserves of the country
have been trebled or quadrupled; the
forest service has been reorganized
and placed under the department OF
agriculture; and there have been ere
ated number of reservations for pre-
serving the wild things of nature
