HUNTING THE
KIDNAPPERS

Just when the last issue was in
press the news of the kidnapping
at Las Vegas was wired in and a
posse was quickly formed to
search the canons and patrol the
mesa for the supposedly fleeing
criminals.
Deputy Sheriff E. j. H. Roy
took a party in his car and AL.
Hanson, Bud Tyndall, Bob Grunig
and several others were out
horseback. They spent a couple
of chilly nights out and came
back without results.
Deputy Sheriff j. w. Jenkins,
R. j. Cowan, Frank Dacy and
Neal Conley came down from
Springer in Kimball's car and
aided IN the search. They drove
all over the canons and put the
car out of business till they could
send for repairs, getting out of
here Tuesday.
Reports in the daily newspapers
seem to indicate that the kidnap-
ping was pulled off by Les Vegas
parties and that the police have a
pretty tight line on the affair and
could explain it all if there were
net interests to influence keeping
it quiet. At least the territory
has been put to a heavy expense
over the affair, and the facts will
probably not be made as public as
they should be.

case of j. H. Humphries, alias
"Nigger Arkansas" and Henry
Farr, charged with the robbery
of the Wells Fargo Express Com
pany of $4,000, returned a ver-
dict at 2;3O o'clock this morning
of not guilty. The robbery took
place az French, Colfax county,
on May, 1908, the money being
the money of the pay roll of the
coal mines at Dawson. The evi-
dence was purely circumstantial.

IN NEW MEXICO.

Out upon the mesas wide
Where the sneaking coyotes hide,
And the gentle breezes seldom cease
To blow
We have come to make our home
On this rich and sandy loan
That will soon be called the state
Of Mexico.
There are houses everywhere
On the land that once was bare,
And the pleasures, that we left are
Never missed.
On these broad and level plains
Near the Rocky Mountain range
Where the scenery is joy you
Can't resist.
Here the bachelors in their nest
Are not always living BEST
But they're happy and contented,
Justly SO.
Just to live within their means
If they have to live on beans
While their clothes are spotted black and
White with dough.
But some day they'll share these claims
With some handsome little danes
Who shall help to share their fortunes or
Their fate.
If they have the nerve to stay
They shall reap their wealth some day,
Tho their long expected fortunes might
Be late.
But this tide is soon to turn
And you have no time to burn,
For this rich and fertile land must
Surely go.
Then with thanks to Uncle Sam
You should leave the citys jam
And come out and get home
In Mexico.

A Leoend of Mount Omi.

Mount Omi, on the border between western China and Tibet. has the long est staircase in the world. On top of the mountain there stands Buddhist temple, around which gather some Of the holiest traditions of that religion and which is made Mecca to the Chinese. To facilitate the ascent of it's slippery sides some 20,C00 steps have been cut in the mountain, fofm- ing a single flight. up which the pill grim tolls. Because of it's inaccessi- bility few Europeans have ever visited the spot. but number of travellers have ascended the stairway and are positive that it is no legendary myth. There is legend that in earlier times the pilgrim was forced to ascend the mountain without artificial aids until the monks conceived the plan of re- quiring every pilgrim who would gain especial benefit of his journey to cut single step.

A STUDY IN FIGURES.
Calculations Necessary to Produce the
 Nautical Almanac.

Nautical Almanac.
 It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office has read the entire Nautical Almanac from be- ginning to end, but each figure of the printed almanac is in the office ex- afaino1 twice and read three times.
 The total number of figures exceeds a million; but, great as that number is. 1t is trifing compared with the num- Der of figures employed in the calcutta lions, as the almanac figures repre- sent "bare" results only. The moon. for instance. requires for it's calcu- lation more than a million and half of figures. and similarly with other branches of the work such as the sun. the planets. etc. Contrary to the general opinion, practically every fig ure in the book is fresh from year to year.
 The tables from which nearly all the work is calculated have been original ly constructed from the labors of the astronomical observer and to large extent from the observations of the sun, moon and planets made at the Royal observatory. Greenwich. Tele- scopes and other astronomical appl1- ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the staff is purely mathemati- cal and not observational.-Lo Telegraph.

TIE ELECTR0SCCPE.
Instrument by Which the Presence Of
 Electricity Is Detected.

Electricity Is Detected.
 @he electroscope is an instrument for the detection of electricity It depends io4 Us action on the principle that bodies charged with like electricity re- pei, while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other. The ordi- nary pith ball suspended on silk thread is the simplest form ol the in- strument.
 The most common type of electro scope is that devised by Bennett in 1TS7 and known as the gold leaf elec- troscope. It consists of two strips of gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus- pended from the lower extremity of conductor within a glass bottle or jar. The upper end of the conductor ter inmates in ball or plate in case the Instrument is to be used as a condens- ing electroscope. If body charged with positive electricity is brought near the knob of the electroscope the nega- tive electricity will be attracted to the knob and the positive repelled to the leaves. which diverge. If now the fin ger Is touched to the knob the positive electricity Is drawn off and the leaves collapse, while the negative electricity is held bound. Removing the charged body, the leaves will diverge again, charged with negative electricity. In this case the instrument can be used to determine the nature of charge of a body brought near 1t, as with a posi- tive charge the leaves will collapse and with a negative charge spread farther apart.-EXchange

In the afternoon session last Thurs day, F. NJ, Wheaton, president of the Wheaton Building and Lumber com- pany of this city, was called to testify concerning mechanics lien which the company put on certain property belonging to Mir. Arnold in June, 1910, amounting to S7,00o. He said that this amount was made up of note Of $3,900, which the company had dis counted at the bank and had after wards had 10 meet as Arnold did not, and bill of S2,900 and upwards for work, which was not evidenced by a note. All of this sum, he said, was for work and material in the two houses owned by Mir. Arnold on Grove street. lie further stated that there was quite a time intervening between the last few items of work done, amounting to about S7S, and the main part of his bill, and that the lien had been put on about fifty days after these last few items of work had been completed.

World of Sportr.

Says the Worcester Telegram of Wednesday:
 A. F.. Farley, who caught for the Putnam, Ct team last year, came 10 Worcester yesterday, and signed to play with the Woreesters this season. Farley is a siockily built chap, and showed manager Jesse C. Burkett list Of the games in which he played last season, in which he did good work behind the bat.
 Here's hoping Heinie will stick. And 10 stick he will have to stick, that is, use the willow. Farley was easily the most unlucky hitter on our team. He was by no means at the head of the strike-out column. He hit the ball as often as any Of them, and hit i, hard, but somehow or other there always seemed to be man in the right spot to rob him of safety. If he made long drive the fielder was play ing deep and if he put over Texas leaguer the fielder was playing a short field. He hopes he will shake this hoo- do with his debut in faster company. It is not his performance behind the bat that willbother the Putnam boy but when he doffs his mask and pro- tector and becomes batsman or base runner that he will need to develop more class and perhaps faithful prac- tice and faster company will do it. Farley has always been well liked by team. mates and the fans, for he was always good natured, accommodating, and never lost his temper. This will go long way towards helping him in his new field as the verdict of the play CTS and fans are as much 10 be reckon ed with as the opinion of the manager. It hardly need be said that Farley will go to Worcester with the best wishes of every rooter and player, um- pire and manager, reporter and scorer, of the Eastern Connecticut league.
 George Lewis played with the Thompson basket ball team against the North Grosvenordales in Thomp- son, last Thursday evening. Thomp- son lost by score Of 20 to l63.
 Young Dubriel, who played with Putnam in 1909 at short, second. or outfield, Is to have tfyout in the Southern league thls season. Dubriel went to 5outhbridge to work and play ed there last season. In one game he was particularly in the lime light get ting three hits with a total of five and two bases on balls in five times up, and accepted five or six chances at short without an error. It happened that scout from the Southern league drifted into town that day and was much inn pressed with the eXPutnam boys work. Nothing was said at the time but short while ago Dubriel received letter asking him to report for spring training. Dubriel was just beginning his career when with Putnam and showed that he had good stuff in him although green and unseasoned at that | time.
 The basket ball game for the cham pionship of the Putnam fire depart ment, to be played this week Friday night between No. and the Hook x Ladder company, is creating lot of interest. There will be large crowd surrounding the court when the bell rings. Be one of it.

 "rhe very existence of the policy of protection depends on our abolition of the tarif where 1t is not really needed under the principle of the last Repub. | lican platform.
 "tf we persist in retaining it in these | times of high prices and gradually ex- hausting food supply, and base our re- tention on protection principles, we shall rouse an opposition that will | know no moderation and will bot cease radical economic changes until ii has 1 removed from the statute book The last trace of protective tariff.
 The President was much pleased with his flying campaign in Illinois and Ohio, and is very optimistic in re- gard 10 the adoption of the Reciproei. ty treaty.
