wooDPEckERs OF LARGE SIZE
Species That Abound In Mexico and
Central Amsrloa Attain Large
Proportions.

To those readers who may only be
familiar with the average sized wood
peckers found In this country, It win
be interesting to know that there are
species Of this famous group Of birds
In existence, which, even when COM
pared with such stable species a. the
well-known ''fiicker." appear in pro
portion like great ravens, placed BY
their lesser congeners. the garrulous
magpies.
Our common pileated woodpecker,
which ranges over North America ct
large, may attain length Of nearly
20 inches, while the handsome black
woodpecker Of northern Europe, the
pic noir Of the French, averages but
three or four inches smaller.
Both Of these. however. undersize
the true giants Of this interesting
race of birds. for our ponderous ivy
billed woodpecker, now found only in
the wilder timbered districts Of the
gulf states. has . length Of II inches
and wing extent Of nearly q yard.
The magnificent imperial woodpecker
Of Mexico and Central America II
even larger by an inch or more than
the last-named species, and II truly
a most remarkable bird.
There IL one very peculiar thing
about these big woodpeckers, and
that ID. In their general celebration
they are all Of glossy black. with
white markings. and the males have
brilliant scarlet crests or other color
areas Of the same on their heads.
The imperial and the ivory billed
have powerful white. chisel-cutting
bills. capable Of making great havoc
with the partly decayed trunks Of
forest trees. where they search for the
pine-destroying insects which consti-
tute their chief food.

Mrs. Fred Dorm Dead.

Mrs. Fred Dorm, aged 70 years and
2 months, died at her home on North
Main street early Thursday morning
as the result Of an attack of heart
failure brought on presumably by the
sudden alarm of fire which was
turned in for the Harshaw residence.
Parties passing her residence going
to the fire heard her calls for help
and going to her assistance found her
dying. A physician was hastily sum-
moned but she had breathed her last
before his arrival upon the scene.
Mrs. Dorm was native of Jackson
county and came with her parents to
this city when but a small child, re-
siding here ever since. She was the
widow of the late Fred Dorm, who
for many years followed the barber's
trade here.

Merchant Case Settled at Last.

The case of Mrs. Virgie Merchant.
Stewart VS. Mrs. Andy Henderson,
which has been hanging fire in the
courts for several months past, has at
last been settled, the Supreme Court
refusing to grant new trial in the
case, says the Review.
Merchant, husband of Mrs. Stewart,
died about year ago. He held a
certificate for $1,000 in the Modern
Woodmen lodge, with his mother,
Mrs. Henderson, as beneficiary. On
his death bed he made a statement
requesting that the money be paid to
his wife and baby The head office
of the Woodmen allowed the Mer-
chant death claim within couple of
weeks after his death, but the money
was held up by the courts pending a
settlement of the differences. The
$1,000 was paid over day or two ago
to the widow and child, in accordance
with the decision of Judge Thurman
of the Circuit Court, affirmed by the
X. C. court of appeals. W. o. Jack
son of Butler, represented Mrs. Stew
art, and M. T. January, Of Nevada,
Mrs. Henderson.

Harshaw Residence Burns.

The handsome residence of H. H.
Harshaw on the corner of Pine and
Delaware streets was with its entire
contents completely destroyed by fire
early Thursday moaning. When the
flames were first discovered they had
spread to such an extent that it was
impossible to save the building, al
though the fire department made a
record run, reaching the scene and
putting a stream of water on the
flames fifteen minutes after the first
alarm was turned in.
No one of the family were at home
at the time Of the fire, Mr.. Harshaw,
wife and daughter having been in
Nevada since the Monday preceding,
and it is thought possible that the fire
may have been started by house,
breakers, passersby having heard a
noise in the house just previous to the
discovery of fire.
The Harshaw residence was one of
the handsomest and largest residence
houses in the city and the loss will be
a heavy one upon Mr.. Harshaw. The
building was insured for $500 and
the contents for $500. The loss has
been settled.

Where Do They Get the Money?

Where Do They Get the Money?
Who is supplying the money used
to finance the campaigns of President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt for the
Republican nomination?
The modest campaign carried on
by Senator La Toilette has been paid
for by fund of of $4,000 and the
Senator has told the. country just who
gave it to him. The sum is a consid-
cradle one, but it must be insignificant
compared to the money handled by
the Taft and Roosevelt organizations.
A national election with the two great
parties opposing each other could not
be much more costly than the fight
which the leading Republican candi-
dates are now making within the Re-
publican party.
Somebody is paying for it. The
names of the givers will reveal the
real purpose of the two candidates.

or personal declaration ever did or

Possibly the United States Senate
will do the right thing in the Lorimer
matter after all. The findings of the
minority of the Investigating Com
mittee are so plain and direct that the
resolution declaring the Illinois Sena-
tors election invalid will cause every
weak pro-Lorimer Senator to hesitate
before voting in the negative. Hav-
ing the defeat Of the veteran Senator
Cullom fresh in their minds, he may
