JUDGE RUTLEDGE
STRICKEN WITH APOPLEIY

Judge Ru, tedge suffered an
apoplectic stroke at noon Tuesday
and his condition is very serious.
From Constable Happier. who
came from Carlin this morning, we
learn that Judge Ruttledge was
alone in his office at the time.
Mr.. Happier happened to be across
the street fromg the judges Office
and noticed him working himself
around the building. Seeing that
something was wrong, Mr.. Happier
vent to the Judges assistance. He
saw at once that the judge right
side was paralyzed and that he was
unable to walk. He procured
assistance and the judge was taken
to his home. DR.. Harper was
called and the judge was made as
comfortable as possible He has
been unconscious most Of the time
since and his recovery is cx-
ceediDgly doubtful.
Judge Rutlcdge was SO years old
on New Years day. He has
suffered two previous strokes.
This and bis extreme age weigh
heavily against him. His many
friends in Carlin and throughout
the county sincerely hope he may
recover,

v. P. EARNINGS At RATE
OF 5000 PER MILE

The Western Pacific railway is
now. earning at the rate of SIS. 900
gross per mile of road per annum,
says the Wall Street Journal.
The estimate is officially based
upon advices from California
covering car loading and traffic
reports for the n,crtIs Of OctG er
and November. In these Two
months the company's business
has shown up very encouragingly
and if continued on the same
basis in future months will make
possible gross revenues Of between
$4,60C.O00 and $5,0OO,OOO per
anhum in the coming year. For
an infant company which has been
off cially opened up for through
traffic through an undeveloped
country. only since August % last,
the present volume of earnings
would appear to be in every respect
satisfactory.

10. THE RICH INDIAN

The per capita wealth of the
lnoian is approximately So. 100 that
for other AMERICANS is only a little
more than 1900. The lands
owned by the Indians are rich in
oil, timber and other natural
resources of all kinds. Some of the
best timber land in the United
States is owned by Indians.
The value If their agricultural
lands runs in the millions. The
ranges which they possess support
about 100000 sheep and cattle,
owned by lessees. bringing in a
revenue of more than $272,OOO to
the various tribes besides providing
feed for more than 800, 900 head
of horses. cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to theIndians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
in tie United States are on Indian
lands Red Man.

TOBACCO USED AS MONEY

Kentucky leaf tobacco is now
put up for the African trade. In
the interior of Africa leaf tobacco
is practically used in place of
money to barter with the natives
for their products.
The wants of the natives are
few. Food and most of their
clothing are supplied by nature.
They follow the primitive custom
of acquiring personal property in
the form of cattle, wives an d
children. and depending on the
children in old age for support.
They give little thought to laying
aside anything for use in illness or
old age.
In the interior, traders say, the
natives often refuse money in
cx :hangc for their products, but
will take tobacco. spirits, cotton
goods. etc. In fact, in some parts
of the interior tobacco is an
absolute necessity in trading with
the natives.
This tobacco is generally rctied
in smaller bundles so that the
African merchants can figure out
how the distribution of this tobacco
would calculate. ann to facilitate
those calculations the tobacco is
tied in various styles. that is, so
many bundles to the pound. from
four to ten as desired. The relying
and manipulation of Kentucky leaf
has become as specialized as the
manufacture Of tobacco. The

THE COST OF YOUR CLOTHES

Ida M. Tarbell. writing in the
American Magazine on the tariff,
says:
The manager of leading New
York selling house told a repre-
sentative of this magazine last
spring that he paid the manu-.
facturers in America 45 cents for
the serge he bought in Holland for
263 cents. The serge costing 81
cents here he gets there for II,
and re declares that in each case
the Holland goods are vastly better
in quality. 1t is notorious that the
cost of all clothing has steadily
advanced under conditions made
possible by the tariff" this gentle
man said, "whie the quality has
been steadily debased. See how
it works out. Today there are
numberlcss places where a mar

$l8 to $50. The cloth in these
suits is the same which used to be
offered in the cheapest places at So

made of. That is why so many
of the young clerks who have paid
enough out to get a good suit of

A TURBULENT VOLCANO

The central or main crater of
Taal is nearly round. Its diameter
on an air line north and south is
6,233 feet and the east west
diameter 1876 feet. The edge of
this crater is somewhat irregular,
but is nowhere broken throu ph,
its highest point standing at only
l,050 feet above sea level and its
lowest at 1926 feet.
Within the rim are two hot
pools, known respectively as the
yellow and the green lake, and a
little active cone above fifty feet
in height from which escape steam
and sulphurous gas in varying
quantities.
In the smaller lake every few
minutes the water in the center is
blown up above an immense
bubble, which rising above tie
surface, finally bursts, revealing a
black orifice and causing the boil
ing and very turbulent water to
assume all imaginable colors. The
aqueous vapor escaping is sufFi "ient
to form broad, smokelike column
which is visible especially during
the night and in the cary morning.
At some distance and before
reaching the edge of the crater,
where view of the bottom can be
obtained the rubbing sound
produced by the escaping vapor,

mysterious subterranean forces,

The greatest eruption of Taal
took place in 1854. The eruption
began on May l3 and did not end
till Dec. /. During this dreadful
time the intensity and aspect of
the eruption were con inually
changing, and the four principal
towns OF the laguna Of Bombon
disappeared viz, Sala, Lipa,
