Arthur A. Mclean, long treasur-
er of the Democratic state commit
tee of New York, and close friend
of Charles f. Murphy, boss of Tam
many and until recently Democratic
leader in the state, has pleaded
guilty in court to the charge of re-
ceiying campaign contribution
from contractors on state work. AS
treasurer of the committee nc re-
ceived contributions from compan-
les engaged on construction work
for the state in violation of an act
passed a few years ago. This was
the first definite result of an in
vestigatioin into grating in con-
nection with contractors on state
roads and the Erie Canal. Other
men have been indicted and will be
tried later.
Since District Attorney Whitman,
who prosecuted the case, believed
that Mclean had no criminal intent
but merely followed a long-estab-
lished policy of his committee, he
consented to suspension of SEN
tence rather than a fine or impris-
onment.

Screwing up the Eyes.

Disastrous TO the beauty of child's
expression is the habit OF screwing up
the eyes. The trick points very plain
ly TO defective vision and calls aloud
for a visit to an oculist. The visit
must not be delayed, for ugly wrinkles
around the eyes is the least evil of
this defect. A shortsighted child Is
severely handicapped when 1t begins
in school life, and neglected myopia
leads to serious eye trouble in later
life. Properly prescribed spectacles
are all that is required to end this
particular trouble

Unequal Natural Division.

The Cordilleras, which form the
backbone of both the northern and
southern continents, are relatively
near the Pacific Ocean in Guatemala,
and thus divide the country into two
unequal drainage areas, of which the
Arctic is much the greater. The Pa
cifc slope, though comparatively mar.
row, is exceptionally well watered and
fertile between the attitudes of 1000
and 5000 feet, and is the most dense

Probably the most distressing acci-

side of Phoenix, just two miles from
the finish line In front Of the state
insane asylum, when the Buick No.

broke a steering knuckle with fourth
place almost in sight and fifth place
certain. He was travelling at a ra-
pid rate when the accident took
place. He abandoned his car and
walked to the fair grounds, forced
out of the race after travelling 53l
out of the 533 miles.
This was probably the toughest
luck that any driver has experienced

BIG SHIPMENT OF TREES

Several hundred apple trees were
delivered to parties in this county
during the past week. The ship
ment came from IA Kansas nursery
and the price paid by those who re-
ceived them amounted to $50S. The
person who bought the largest var
iety was A. T. Davis, who lives near
Dodson. His consignment amounted
to $50. There were Is different pur-
chasers represented in the list and
they live in all parts of the county.
The trees and vines came in care
of James Hall and have most all
been delivered to the owners. This
shows that some of the farmers
have faith in this state as good
place To raise fruit.

HUNTER ARRESTED

Conductor Clemmens was arrested
for hunting on posted land. The
tiial was held in Judge McElroy's S
court and several witnesses heard.
The jury acquitted the defendant on
account of the fact that the land
had not been properly posted.
Hunters better be careful where
they trespass. The minimum fine is
$50. and it is Il question whether a
few quail are worth the cnance of
being called to donate that much To
the state and county treasury. II
you are even caught shooting quail
and carry no license then you may be
asked to donate another $50. A
license costs but Sl.00, so you had
better play safe and dig up
