 The cause for the strange conduct of these stones is doubtless to be found in the material of which they are composed which appears to be loadstone or magnetic iron ore.

 At the same time the impression tllat has entered the minds of many people through these transactions, that public cfflce can be acquired for consideration is so destructive of that respect for off cialS which must exist if government is to serve it's purpose, that it is incumbent upon me to inform you that l have re moved you from the office of convict physician at No. 12 prison.

 This report is given to the press, and l deem it proper, inasmuch as on October 10 my letter to you suggesting InlS lHVtStiSdtiou, was pupiiSueu, lHdt I should give this letter wherein I con- firmed the findings of MT.

ARMORED TRAINS IN RUSSIA
Run Between St. Petersburg and the
 Principal Towns as Protection

St. Petersburg Correspondence Pail Mall
 Gazette.
 As bandits hold up trains and carry off large, sums of money almost daily, the Russian government has decided to con struct armored carriages for the use of the State bank. They will run regularly between this city and Russia's principal towns.
 { They are to be of iron and will contain accommodation for a strong convoy of soldiers. Each wagon will be so planned that the guard can-fire from it as from a fort. Each train will be under the com mand of an officer, who is to have full powers to open fire on all suspicious per sons approaching the train.
 The authorities have come to the con- ciusion that this is the only means of ;iut- ting a stop to the prevailing lawlessness on Russian railway tracks. As the or- dinary postal trains can only carry small convoy the raiders have things all their own way and have grown so daring that they now hold up trains in broad daylight and quietly bury their booty Tn a neighboring forest, while the panic stricken passengers wait for them to set the engine driver free
 In the future only mails and small sums of money will be sent by ordinary trains. Private banks will be able to hire accom- nOdation in theAarmored trains. They

COWBOYS FINERY EXPENSIVE Practically No Limit to What He May
 Pay for an Outfit

When the city man gets his bills for his new fall suit, his fussy topcoat with the latest style stock collar, his velvet hat, spats and gloves, he is apt to think with some complacency that he had done all that money can do to clothe the outer man. His tailor is the most expensive he can find, his fabrics are all imported. and he contemplates his fancy waistcoat with the awe that comes with a realization that the buttons alone cost $1 each.
 The same man would be considerably surprised if any one told him that there was an establishment in the West Bot. toms that deals exclusively with stocK- men and cowboys, where hat costs any where from SIP to $20 and pair of trous- CTS from $15 up to almost any figure. A. cowboy with a roll and g proper sense of the fitness of things can safely match tailors' bills with the most fastidious city dresser.

The Governors Letters

MT. P. c. Bowman, Birmingham, Ala.
 Sir: As you are aware, an investiga- tion was publicly conducted on October 19, 19l1, by Mir. R. P. Evns and MT. R. q Brickell with reference to your participa- tion in the sale of certain stock to appli- cauts for saloon license under such condi. tions as to improperly influence them to make such purchases. You are also aware that another investigation has been conducted by MT II. Y. Brooke with ref erenee to your administration of the of- flee of tax commissioner of Jefferson county, and into your connection with convict physician at Flat Top mines.
 The report of Mir. Evins and MT. Brick ell is published in the newspapers today and after a careful examination of the testimony taken in your presence. I am of the opinion that their findings are fully sustained by the proof. and that their conclusion and recommendation follow as a matter of course.
 With reference to the report of MT. Brooke on the conduct of your office. I dismiss any consideration of the question as 10 whether your dealings with Mr Ga1npill constitute violation of the crinl~ inai law. If, as is suggested in the press, this is matter to be determined by the courts, 1t would be improper for me to pass judgment on it at this time Aside, however, from any contravention of the statutes, the documentary proof shows conclusively that your dealings with MT. A. A. Gambill, with whom you contracted with reference to the duties of your of fee. is subversive of the interest of the state and inimical to a sound public policy.
 MT. Gambill produced before MT. Brooke a contract and power of attor- ney with you, as follows:

 zled with his determination to have the
 present administration as free from
 criticism as possible. In his communi- cation to MT. Bowman. the chief eNecu- tive especially stressed the fact that
 he could not, "howsoever painful action in the premises might be, indulge those considerations that might appeal to me as an individual, nor condone offenses that iniuriously affect the public in terests.' He intimated that as pub lie servant. with the interests of null titude of people and the welfare of
 great state committed to his keeping, he was going to exact of his appointees
 as conscientious discharge of duties as possible. AS one of my appointees,"
 he stated, i'm referring to the alleged
 $500 transfer T had the right to eX- pect from you. your unbiased opinion,
 untramelled by any personal interest"
 With respect to this $500 transaction. the chief executive went at length into the situation. showing that the evi- denee before him was that Colonel Bow man had agreed to secure the appoint ment of Dr Nann as convict physician for the consideration of $500. In his letters to the various officials. the gov ernor showed that this sum was paid to Dr Fields to be turned aver to Col onel Bowman. whenever the appoint ment or lr ' ann should be announced, the facts reaching him CO'Neal) being that Yam would not pay Bowman di- rect until the appointment was secured.
 Tie governors authority. for this in- formation came from an affidavit filed by pr. fields to the effect that the transac- tions as outlined above was carried out, he zields. first certifying that Vann was all right" pr. Fields stated that Yam first made the proposition that Bowman should be paid $500 to Hand the Flat Top position With this affidavit before him, the governor wrote to pr. Fields that i. 1 alone was sufficient for his (Field's) re- nlnVal. though he. the governor, was sat isfed that Fields was not moved by any personal interest He made the same qualification in stating that Dr. Fields should just as reasonably be removed for mentioning to saloon applicants that the purchase of Alamo Gas stock would aid them in getting saloon license.''
 The removal of Dr. Vann was peremp- tory. No man who has paid, or sup poses he has paid, for a public office IS entitled to hold it. the governor stated.

By this contract you delegated te Rn- other those important duties pertaining te the public revenue which you had been selected to perform, and substituted for yaur own judgment, discretion industry ana ability consideration which entered into your appointment, the judgment, dis eretion, industry and ability of one un- known to me, and thus usurped a power committed by law to the governor and tlie state tax commission.
 In furtherance, as | conceive it. of the public interests. l committed the duties of this office to you. and you were au- thorzed by no law to divest yourself of and to invest Mir Gambll or any other person with. it's duties and it's responsi- bllities. Such contracts as that between you and MT. Gambill are universally held ny all courts to be void. because against the public interests. and the actions of Mir. Gamhill. following his investure by you with the duties of this office. show upon how just and sound theory these rulings rest.
 It appeals from the sworn testimony taken by MT. Brooke, that MT. Gambill suggested to several of the largest tax payers in Jefferson county that they per init their property to become as escaped from taxation. This was a clear prosti- tuition O: the vital interests of the county and tho state for personal gain Such conduct became possible through your un- authorized surrender to MT.

loose on are hats and saddles. A hat can be made a wondrous thing when price IS not discouraging consideration. Of hand stamped either with silver tiligree and buckle it can be made to weigh sev- eral pounds and cost several dollars a pound. It seems that no cowboy would consider himself dressed up without at least five pounds of hat. As to what a cowboy thinks of saddle can be figured this way. When he starts in to buy an outfit he buys the saddle first and gets just what he wants, and then if he mas any money left he buys the other things he needs.
 There are 50 pounds of leather in q real cowboy saddle, 90 pounds of leather wou- derfully carved, stamped and befringed It is as big as a hammock with a pom- mel like the ornamental sternpost or ship and a back like a rocking chair. There are more rings, straps, thongs and holsters depending from it than a lay man could count without trying to learn their various uses. This saddle is a five room flat full of furniture to the cowboy; he eats, works, loafs and sleeps in it.
