AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
Inc Way It Was Described by a,
 Educated Native.


 Educated Native.
 C. ]. Phillips. business agent ia Uganda of the Church Missionary so- ciety. throws light upon the workings of the native mind by quoting re markable letter in which native member of the katikiro's prime minis ter's, party gives a description of the Uganda railway.
 My friend, can tell you the Euro peans have done d marvellous thing tt make the railway and the trains They fasten ten or fifteen houses together and attach them to q fireplace W li,b is as big as an elephant. and the road it goes on is as smooth as the stem ot a plantain. It goes as fast as d swal low flying, and everything you see out side fits past you hh>e q spark from a fire. If it were to drop off one of tlis bridges not one in it would be saved for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills 1t passes are as high as those of kok! and they have bridged over great val leys which are as deep as that you see when you look from the top of Nami rembo. so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over them Later there follows a description of ship: Ut is as deep as our two sto- ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo. and it is as long as from the katikiros fence to the gate of the kings inclosure. It has three tall poles in it and big throat, out of which smoke comes, which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mirembo. The rooms in it go down three stories. Snd the boards of theGo cannot describe to you. for such havs not been seen before. There is . lot of metal work about then, tee, buo these also cannot describe, fer it is so fine. There are children sn boar1 and flock of sheep and places ts wash in attached to every place where a chief sleeps, such as even our king has never possessed" ."-London Strand Magazine.

Editor Mirror
Sir:-In looking over the columns
of your journal l note a persistent
booming by the friends of candidates,
before the coming primary, of names
that in frequent instances, seem to
me quite unfamiliar. although I have
been In attendance upon conventions
of the Democracy of Marion county
for forty years. I regret to note also
n tendency to push the claims very
vigorously of candidates that seem
to be rather recent and youthful in
their Democratic associations. If Ma
rion county Is to go Democratic this
year, It must he done by the stalwart
Democracy Of such percincts as Wal
do, Richland, Pleasant and similar
strongholds, therefore, II will be help
ful TO place upon our ticket the name
of DIR. Robert Dombaugh for treasur-
err in that he Is thoroughly capable
and competent, and furthermore has
been an unfaillng. always faithful and
dependable leader of the Democracy
of our south townships for the past
eighteen years. In presenting to the
Democrats of Marion county, and
particularly of the city of Marion, the
name of Dr. Dombaugh. on behalf OF
the Democracy OF Waldo, we feel that
we are performing duty looking ia
the welfare of our party
Very truly.

History Of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps first used in
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society In 1907 for the first
time In America made use of a stamp
for the purpose Of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign Of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $685.
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,OO0 was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross Is "A Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals

CAPTURE MURDERER
MAN WHO SHOT DOWN SALT
LAKE SCHOOL BOY BELIEVED
TO BE BEHIND BARS.
Hungarian Youth Admits Participation
In Robbery, But Denies That He
Fired Fatal Shots, Placing
Blame Upon a Companion.

Salt Lake City.-It is believed that
the man who murdered Thomas Kar
rick, the 14-year-old schoolboy, at his
home in this city at noon on October
IL, has been captured
julius Szirmay, Hungarian. aged
81, is In prison. and has confessed to
having participated in the robbery OF
the Karrick home, but denies that he
shot the boy He declares that he had
companion in the robbery, and, by
inference, places the blame upon that
person This companion he declares
he knew on.y by the name of Joe. and
had only known him a short time. AS
to the present whereabouts OF this
mysterious companion, Szirmay de-
clares he has not the slightest idea
A strong chain of circumstantial
evidence is being woven around the
selfconfessed burglar. Three times
since the murder Szirmay has at
tempted suicide. Once, the day fol

his life by using chloroform. but was
Again he slashed his wrists with the
blade of a safety razor, but. declares
that the pain was so great that he
could not go on. Again. he attempted
10 throw himself in front of moving
train, but his courage deserted him.
A saw left in the cellar at the Kar-
rick home led to the Hungarian's ar
rest The ownership of the saw was
traced to a family who had -befriended
Szirmay. and it's owner admitted he
had loaned the saw to the young man.
Szirmay says that when he read in
the newspapers that the saw had been
found in the house he had robbed, he
feared it would be traced back to him,
and that he would be charged with
the murder of the boy.
The officers believe they have a
strong case against Szirmay, and it is
predicted that he will yet confess that
he shot down the boy who had gone
to his home at noon from school, in
order to get his lunch, discovered a
man burglarizing the house, grappled
with him. or attempted to escape and
give the alarm, and was brutally muir

The capture of the alleged murderer
was made by the sheriff, but talk o.
