Remarkable Career Of
William Morgan Shuster.

Beginning work as a stenographer
in the government service at Wash
ington, william Morgan Shuster, the
fired treasurer general of Persia, has
led a life of thrift and determination
which should commend him to the
young men of this country today. At
the age of 80 years he is one of the
most talked Of men in the world, and,
If the Persian government had suffi-
cient military strength, he would go
down in history as one of the great
reformers of this age.
During the few months Shuster has
spent in Persia he has worked won
ders in the affairs of that nation. He
was recommended for the position by
the state department of the United
States and his. work has proved that
the recommendation was a good one,
and 1t was because of his effective
work that Russia has objected and
has forced Persia to discharge him.
When he reached Persia and began
work he found a bankrupt country
thoroughly demoralized, but now the
treasury has more than a million dol
lars surplus. Not only has Persia
improved in a financial way but in
many others, and had Shuster been
allowed to continue with Persia she
would have become a nation of no
mean strength.
Russia was not alone in bulldozing
Persia, but Great Britain and other
countries became jealous of the Amer
lean and demanded that he be given
less authority.
For the benefit of the Persians, who
supported the American so heartily. it
is unfortunate that he could not have
remained longer, for his dismissal
must mean an acknowledged lack of
strength.
There was probably not sufficient
cause for the United States to stand
behind Persia in this matter, but there
ought to be some power of sufficient
strength on the eastern hemisphere
to prevent the strong from depressing
the weak. The United States has
served in this capacity in the wes-
tern hemisphere and if our English
cousins across the way did not have
opposite ideas there might be universal
peace at an early date.
Shuster may 7enjoy the satisfaction
of knowing that he, as Christian
went into a Mohammedan land and
sowed the first seed of good govern
ment and gained the respect and love
Of all of the people except few OF
the Jealous ones. He has also proved
that there is opportunity for the youns
man who applies himself and has the
stamina to stand for his convictions.

Edna says that she got six hundred
thousand out Of Nat when she allowed
him divorce. Goodly sum. all right,
but it isn't much Of a recommendation
for her when a man will separate
himself from that sum just to get rid
Of her. Maybe Nat got a bargain after
all.

DIDN'T EVEN SAY GOODBYE

On Monday night considerable eX- citement was caused in town when t became known that Captain Bar nette and Mrs. Barnette had quiet
 y slipped out in double-ender at lbout g o'clock with the intention of catching the stage at Bylers. l. vas learned that they had been es. corted by two deputy marshals, these returning the next day with the horse and rig used by the Bar, nettes.
 There are two raasCES given loi he fitting after dark. Que story has it that Barnette intended to take the stage at ? o'clock, but wa delayed by request from the de positors' attorney that the Hill noe be taken up before he left. he note was paid by the captain bn, in the meantime the stage had pull ed out.
 Another story has it that the dark hours of the night were selected be cause Captain Barnette had been led to believe that personal violence was threatened against himself and his wife. A woman is said to have tOlu ulIu that Sue udu OVeTnedTu some other women planning to try and meet Mrs. Barnette on the stree and pull her clothes off her back The captain was also included in the scheme and he was to be horsewhip- ped. If he attempted to leave on the stage it was even suggested hat someone take a shot at him.
 The two stories are given for what they are worth, neither of them being vouched for. But pre- posterous as the story of personal violence may appear to reasonable people it is a fact that such talk was current during the period be- tween the filing of the grand jury report and the day the Barnettes left.

FATAL WRECK ON RAILROAD

Those who arrived on the stage on Friday tell of a fatal wreck on the Copper River railroad near the bridge which crosses the Copper river. Just after the bridge had been crossed the rotary stuck in the snow and the breakman went back to flag the train that was following. He was dilatory in doing this and the train passed him before he could show his flag. The engineer and fireman of the rear engine were be- tween their tender a..d the caboose when the engineer saw the train approaching. He jumped and called 10 the fireman to do the same, but his warning was too late and the fireman was caught. Both of his legs were cut off and he lived for but 20 minutes after the accident. Some of the passengers on the train were ut and bruised and three of the cars were wrecked. The train was delayed about eight hours.
