SHAFTS OF FRANCE COSTLY
Government Completes Inventory and
Valuation Of Many Of Its Fa-
nous Monuments.

Paris.-All Americans who know
Paris will be interested in the result
Of a curious inventory just taken by
the French government. The objects
inventoried we're the national monu-
ments of France. The actual cash
value Of each has been figured out, so.
now, for the first time, II is possible
for the visitor to this country to real
lie. when he stands before the Louvre,
the Pantheon or the Elysee palace,
exactly what sum of money 1t repre-
sents.
Many of these figures are stupen-
dous. Huge as they are they repre-
sent merely the brick and mortar
value of each building and monument,
"as IT," to quote the official report,
there were a question Of construct
ing them at the present day, without
taking into account the value OF the
site" Nor, 1t might be added. of the
buildings.
As a result Of this inventory, the
whole value Of the national monu-
ments-from the Louvre itself to the
least valuable one in the list-the me-
mortal to Marshal Ney-is 1.795.245.-
49S francs, or roughly $359,049.3OO.
The most valuable item in the list is
not the Louvre. but the famous for
mer royal palace at Versailles. which,
as a building alone, is worth over
$144, 100000.
The Louvre and what is left Of the
Tuileries represents s56,s74.4o0 and
the famous Paris opera house. s1o.-

the Pantheon for practically the same
figure, while the luxembourg is worth
$1,o25 1000, and the Elysee palace, the
residence 81 the president Of Paris.
paltry $4,000.
Not SO long ago a Frenchwoman
millionaire desired to buy the Arc de
Triomphe, which Napoleon built to
celebrate his victories. and under
which the Rgpssiags MARCHED into
Paris, and to remove It on the ground
that It interfered with the view from
her bedroom window. She was in.
formed that the arch was not for sale,
Now it appears that the monument
would have cost her, Is 1t stands, 49,.

Life.

Colville, Wash.--John Bechler, a
blacksmith and homesteader of Crys-
tai Falls, was found dying on lonely
trail near the home of David Steel.
farmer, living In White Lake. six
miles east of Colville. An examina-
ton disclosed the fact he had appar-
emily exploded a dynamite cap with
suicidal intent.
Last fall he went to Pennsylvania to
visit his sweetheart, whom he discov-
cred through a correspondence agen-
cy. He said he had received assur-
ance as soon as he accumulated
enough money they would be married.
He has been sending her money. It Is
said, at the rate Of $25 month. and
more as his means would permit, from
his earnings as a blacksmith. but for
several weeks he has not heard from
her and the silence worried him. Ap-
parently he lay down, placed the dyna-
mite cap attached TO a fuse under his
head. applied the match and awaited
results.
Almost the whole side of his head
was blown on. He was unconscious

Colorado Prisoners Have Constructed
Most Beautiful Drive.

Colorado convicts have worked the
roads OF that state with much success,
Thomas J. Ryan. new warden Of the
penitentiary. has started many prison
reforms in that state. one OF which Is
the placing Of many prisoners In
camps and working them on roads.
Harper's Weekly says Of this work:
The convict road camps are the
pride Of Tom Ryan's heart He be-
lieves that convict labor is going TO
solve the road problem Of the nation.
Furthermore. he is proving his theories
in practice. Canon City convicts have
built some of the finest highways In
the world. including the celebrated
"sky line drive" extending along hog

Arthur H. Shay, City Attorney
of Streator, Candidate
for Nomination.

Arthur II. Shay, city attorney of
Streator, yesterday announced his can
didacy for the progressive nomination
for judge of the supreme court to sue
coed Judge Hand. MIR. Shay's decision,
it is understood. came after a confer
ence with Congressman limbaugh of
Ottawa, who has been prominently
mentioned in connection with the
same nomination, and followed the
congressman's determination not to
run. Congressman Hinebaugh is said
to be convinced that he will be re,
elected by larger plurality than last
fall, and, while he would greatly ap.
preCiate the field of usefulness that
would be open to him as a member OF
the supreme court of Illinois, leading
progressives of the nation have con.
vinced him that his duty now lies on
the new party's firing line at Wash
. ington, where he is, next to Murdoch
of Kansas, the most prominent figure
Mr.. Shay was elected city attorney
of Streator on the progressive ticket
last spring after an exciting canvass
in which a determined effort was
made to swamp the new party by
members of both the old organizations
! He is AZ years old and is one of the

FEES OF JUSTICE
POOR INCENTIVE
Rock Island j. P. Says People
Get About Sort of Service
They Pay For.

Justices of the peace and constables
in Rock Island and other cities of its
size in illinois seldom get rich out of
the emoluments of office BY the
same token the wheels of justice often
move slowly because of lack of oil in
the form of currency of the realm.
One shouldn't expect too much
from justice courts so long as the
fees are no larger" said Rock Island
j. p. to an Argus man. Pressed for
details, he went on:
People often wonder why we jus
tees are not anxious to hear cases,
but if they knew what we get out of
them they would cease to marvel. We
are allowed 81 per day for hearing
trials. For instance, | heard a case
recently that took two days. | pay
office rent at the rate of $50 per
month, so my expenses were approx
imately 1925 for the two days. 1t
was necessary for me to borrow all
the chairs | could from my neighbors
and when the case was ended the Of
flee looked like pigpen. The four
dollars l received hardly paid my &C
tual expenses and | could well afford
ed to have paid someone elsc an equal
sum TO have taken the job off my
hands, for l was compelled to neglect
for the time being other business of
considerable importance.
This happened to have been a civil
case in which the costs were guaran-
3 cd Lr1rf he nj fnfi -
a criminal case l should have had to
wait for my 81 till there was money
; in the county treasury and the super.
visors chose to allow the payment
of the fee. If il so elected the board
might not pay me at all.
Conditions in the case of constables
are no better. Out of the five men
elected to that office last spring but
! two are now working and one of them
: earns his living at another job. A
third constable qualified, but found
/ that he could not make enough to pay

has to pay carfare and make more
