turned into dense thicket of briars
| and underbrush and for ten minues
they plunged through the painless
/ jungle. Now and then Nathaniel saw
the three red stripes of the whipper's
lash upon the bare shoulders of the
| man ahead and to these every ster
seemed to add new wounds made by
the thorns. AS they came out upon
an old roadway the captain stripped
off his coat and Neil thrust himself
into 1t as they ran.
Even in these first minutes of their
| flight Nathaniel was thrilled BY an.
other thought than that OF the peril
behind them. Whom had he saved
Who was this clear-eyed young fellow

OF all this incident at the Jail flashed

with significance that slowly cooled
the enthusiasm in his veins. He was
sure that he was near the solution of
the mysterious events in which he had
become involved. and yet this knowl-
edge brought with it something of ap-
prehension. something which made
him anticipate and yet dread the mo-
ment when the fugitive ahead would
stop in his flight, and he might ask
Kim those questions which would at
least relieve him of his burden of
doubt. They had travelled a mile
through forest unbroken by path or
read when Neil halted on the edge of
a little stream that ran into a swamp.
Pointing into the tangled fen with
confident smile he plunged to his
waist in the water and waded slowly
through the slough into the gloom of
the densest alder a few minutes later
he turned in to the shore and the soft
bog gave place to firm ground Be
fore Nathaniel had cleared the stream
he saw his companion drop to his
knees beside q fallen log and when
he came up to him he was unwrapping
a piece of canvas from about a gun.
With warning gesture he rose to
his feet and for twenty seconds the
men stood and listened No sound |

Houston TeXas..-The United
States immigration laws require the
prospective American citizen, upon
entering the. United States from a
foreign country, to possess at least So
in money. This is but one of the pre-
requisites, yet when it is applied to
immigrants entering Texas it is rare
ly found that So is the minimum am
cunt of cash carried
on the other hand, as a general
rule the finances of the immigrants
are healthy. For one month, for in
stance, it was found that the 276 i'm
migrants who entered possessed a to-
tai of $23,16S as against the total
sum necessary to get them in of
$3.50.
Divided as to nationalities it is
found that the German leads the list
as to wealth, while the Hebrew is
next. The best record made during
the month was by a lone Frenchmar

COLORING FROM JAM
USED TO DYE SHIRT
Experiment at Food Show to illustrate
Dangers of the Present Law.

New YOrk.-A darning needle and
a file We're copper plated with the ar
tificial coloring taken from strawberry
jam. and baby's undershirt was dyed
a vivid cerise.
The experiment was performed by
Profs. F. E. Breithut and B. G. Fem
berg for the benefit of housewives at
the booth of the College of the City
of New York in the pure food show
at Madison Square Garden.
Jam of a rich red was placed in a
chloric acid added. The file and
needles were placed in the liquid. and
after they had remained there several
hours became covered with a coating
of copper which made them shine like
a new telephone wire. The acid
caused a chemical reaction, but mere
ly served to make the copper sui
phate in solution plate the metal.
Then the garment was dipped in the
liquid. The color the wool absorbed
was then dissolved in ammonia, which
removed the vegetable coloring, and
the garment was then redipped and
took on its present cerise color, which
came from the coal tar dye used &c
give the syrup its red hue.
The sale of the syrup was not In
violation of the present law, because
the law specifies that products mark
ed 'artificially colored" and colored
with copper sulphate or coal tar may
be sold. The purpose of the demon
stration is to educate the people into
the realization that though the law
permits the sale of such food product:
they are harmful to health. Copper
sulphate is a cumulative poison, ant
enough collected in the system woulj
produce injurious results. While al
coal tar products are not harmful, tn,
effects of some taken in large quan
titles would be anything but bene
ficial.
A quotation of Doctor Wiley, th
government pure food expert, poste'
on the walls of the booth summarize
the purpose of the exhibit. 1t says:
'It is evident, it seems to me, tina
the very best remedy for the evils o
food adulteration would be the crea
tion of public opinion of characte
that would regard persons engaged i
food adulteration as without the pal
of ethics, moral and polite society.

students with appropriate ceremonies

high school lawn about 8 o'clock last
night, following a hostile demonstra-
ton in the vicinity of the school in
which the leaders waxed warm in
denunciation of the present admins
tration at high school.
Immediately after a jury of IL stu
dents, who heard the evidence in the
case under consideration. the entire
procedure being carried out according
to "Hoyle," had reached their verdict
of guilty" stuffed sack affair rep
resenting the person of their princi-
pal, was hung by the neck to the flag
pole and ignited with a match, the
resulting flames lighting up an excit-
ed crowd of students, who much re-
sembled a tribe of Indians burning at
the stake the body of a captured en-
emy.
All court rules were laid aside in
the trial, the evidence being simply
a shouted statement of the offense
commite ted by the prisoner, following
which the jurymen lost no time in
returning their verdict and the Off
GERS in charge in carrying out the or
ders.
When the ceremonies had been
completed. the crowd assembled and
marched down to the business district
where another demonstration was
held and divers threats made, the
party not disbanding until late
hour or until after the excitement
of the evening had worn off.
The whole trouble arose when Prin-

team, for having appeared in class

CLEW TO MYSTERY FOUND.
Broken Snow Shoe May BE That of
Man Lost Seven Years Ago.

Oroville.-A broken snow shoe that
was found near Lotte's Lake, a few
miles out 0: Philbrook Valley, may
lead t. the discovery of the body of
John Palmer, at one time a supervisor
of Plumas county, who wandered from
Rock creek seven years ago and was
lost in a severe snowstorm. Although
diligent search has been made since
the disappearance no trace of Martin
or his body has ever been found un-
til the snow shoe was picked up by a
forest ranger.
According to Al Oats, Palmer was
tracked by Elmer Johns to Lofts lake
at the time of his disappearance.
There all trace of him was lost.
Johns is now making a search in the
vicinity of Lofts lake in an effort
to recover the body.
Lofts lake is located on Ben Lo-
mond mountain. close to the Butte
and Plumas county line in a wild and
inaccessible district. 1t is owned by
Judge Lott of this city.
