DALTON is ALL RIGHT
A Mp nAITON who IL


SCISSOR OF Alameda County, CAL, was
recently arrested for attempting TO
blackmail the Water Company out Of
money by threatening to assess them
to the limit if they did not pay.
The c~omnayny's agent at once in
formed the District Attorney of the
threat and pretending to agree to the
hold-up agreed to pay him the first
$1,000 in marked bills. lie took the
money and as he left the building two
detectives grabbed. searched his pock-
cts, found the money and landed him
in Jail. At first blush it may look
bad for Dalton but he will come out
all right with his character fully vim
Dictated.
When his case comes up he will
show that the water company conspir-
ed to get his goat by marking til,
bills and posting the detectives. The
marked bills can't be used as evidence
as his attorney will show that they
were on his person and contend that
this makes the evidence se~lf-incrimi-
mating. The law says that you can
make a man incriminate himself. The
water company will naturally be
charged with defacing the money oil
the United States by marking those
bills.
The detectives invaded the consti
tutional rights of an American citi
zen by going through his pocket,
without a search warrant. They ais,
resorted TO a trick to get him dead t.
rights. Ii the jury don't acquit hin
the Supreme Court OF California will
see that he gets all the t~echnicalitie
that are coming to him.
Dalton is a good fellow, free spend
er. and can hand a package to tn,
higher ups. Hosts OF friends will
rally to the defense of the poor, per
secuted official and the man will b.
a martyr before the end of the month

INCONSISTENT CTION
MOST OF the Republican m,


OF the House Of Representatives who
voted against reciprocity sought to
defend their votes by declaring the
measure was against the best inter
ests OF the farmers. and that as they
prided themselves upon being friends
OF the farmers at every turn in the
road, they could not bring themselves
TO vote for the reciprocity bill.
Then came the farmers free-lis,
bill. which untaxed agricultural i'm
plements and nearly everything the
farmer uses. Here was a golden OPP
portunity for the friends OF the farm
ers!
But, 10 and behold, when it came
time to vote, 100 Republicans who
had been so loud in proclaiming their
affection for the farmers, voted
against the farmers free list bills.

WHY THE WIND BLOWS.
The Basic Principle, the Tendency OF
Hot Airs to Rise.

Hot AIRS TO Rise.
The wind, ike other things OF every
day life, rarely invites notice unless 1t
IS unusually high" and rarely do we
hesr the questions. why does the
wind blown" "Why doesn't the wind
blown
What is this wind that rushes "out
of the nowhere into the hereT Why
should it blow at all, or why some
times so gently and at other times
with the resistless force of the hurri-
cane?
The wind could have no power, It
could not even exist, If the air had no
weight, this weight having been shown
TO be about thirty-one grains for each
hundred cubic inches of air. When air
is put in motion the effect Is like that
obtained by throwing ball against an
object The harder you throw the ball
the harder 1t will strike, and the great
er the number of balls thrown at one
time the greater will be the force OF
the blow. When the wind is blowing
1t strikes what it blows against, and
the harder 1t blows chat is, the greater
the speed of the air. the harder 1t will
strike against the resisting object.
What causes the wind to blow or
why the air should be in motion is not
easy to explain. Simply stated, it Is
caused by the tendency of hot air to
rise and thus to form partial vacuum
into which the cooler surrounding air
rushes, in much the same way as
water will rush downward to seek its
level If the earth were smooth, IL it
did not rotate and If there were no
sun the air would be motionless. When
the sun shines on a wide space of the
earth the air of that region becomes
heated, this great volume of warm air
rises and the cooler heavier surround
ing air flows in to take its place. AS
the earth rotates there tends to be
formed ring of heated and rising air
with currents inaowing at the bottom
and at both sides. This is the condi-
ton that prevails near the equator and
causes the trade winds that blow so
steadily. The rotation of the earth
causes the wind south of the equator
to flow toward the northwest and that
north of this line to flow toward the
southwest.--St. Nicholas.

BLEASE ON REQUISITIONS.
ln "lntervicw" Governor Outlines
Course He Will Follow

Columbia. April Especial: Coy
ernor BleaSe to-day made known his
position with regard to acquisitions.
An official statement was given
out at the office in the fol NJ OF an
interview. setting forth the Govern
or'S reasons for his stand on the
matter OF acquisitions. Governor
BleaSe will grant acquisitions when
the cases are of felony or serious
and pay expenses out of the contin-
counties must pay.
The following iS the official state
ment:
Governor Blease says in regard to
acquisitions that his position is that
often parties who are endeavoring
to collect debts use the Criminal
Courts and have parties who are in
debted to them arrested for obtain
ing money under false pretenCe; for
selling property under lien or mort
gage, etc. when there is really moth
ing in the case. In instances of
this kind. and other minor cases.
parties are sometimes arrested in
another State. The expense of
bringing them back into the State
comes from the Governors contin-
gent fund, which is out of all of
the taxpayers. The prisoners are
times acquitted and when convicted
generally given short sentences or
small fines going to the county.
while the taxpayers OF the entire
State are paying the expenses for
the acquisitions, and in many in
stances the amount OF labor per-
formed or the amount of the fine
paid is not as much as it costs TO
bring the prisoner back to the
State, and it is for these reasons
that the Governor takes the posi-
tion that unless the prisoner is to
be sentenced to the Penitentiary
that the county should pay the ex-
pense of bring him back. or course,
this does not apply to cases of fell
ony or serious offences, and in such
cases. acquisitions will always be
granted promptly and the expense
paid from the Governors office.

Unusual Nerve on GallowS.

"Cttsville. Pa. March 30.-.A re-
markable display of nerve was made
in the county Jail yard here to-day
by Joseph Christock as he was about
10 be hanged for the murder last
fall of Mrs. Ann Richards. Declin-
ing the proffered assistance of a
priest and deputy sheriff, the man
walked smilingly from his cell to
the foot Of the gallows and ran
lightly up the steps.
1t was ii public hanging and about
the gallowS stood 1900 persons to
whom Christock waved his hand
Then he reached up. grasped the
moose and placed it around his
neck. put his arms by his side to
be strapped and smilingly said: {:
Goodbye, ALL"
The nervy man then held his head
in position for the adjustment of
the black cap and in another mo-
ment the trap was sprung. He was
dead in II minutes.
Before going to the gallowS Chris
took made a complete confession,
declaring that he had shot the wo-
man when he was detected by her
attempting to mistreat her daugh-
ter. He told of the numerous high
way robberies and burglaries he had
committed in the neighborhood and
wound up his confession by saying
he deserved to be hanged for his
crimes. He joked of death to the
very end.

Stranger Than Fiction.

Were the story of Samuel Bur-
dette woven into a novel, it would
be pronounced fiction of the most
crude type. 1t is the truth, never
theless; and there are many who
rejoice that vindication has come,
even though it be 30 years late. and
that suspicion has been lifted from
worthy man that he may stand
spotless before his fellow men in
his declining days. Thirty years
ago Samuel Burdette, registery
clerk in the postoffice at Peoria, Ill.
put package of registered letters
containing $500 into a mail sack
and billed it to it's destination.
When the sack was opened the
package was missing. Suspicion fell
on Burdette. Owing to the conf
dence reposed in him by his super
lors, Burdette was not prosecuted,
but was retained in his position for
two years longer, when he entered
the ministry and was sent to Asia

MORE ABOUT MILL MERGER

Of industry other than the manufac-
ture of yarns. According to the
provisions of the charter the COM

Whether this means the building
of more mills is not known, but

poses to enlarge its field of ope! a
