SENATOR BRADY Is
MAKINGIPROGRESS

Washington, Feb. 23.-By reason of
his recent appointment on the commit
tee on public buildings and ground,
Senator Brady of Idaho finds himself
better cared for in the matter of COM
mittee assignments than any other
senator of short service In addition
to his assignment on the public build
ing committee, Senator Brady holds
membership on the following COM
mittees:
Agriculture and forestry, coast and
insular survey, conservation of nat.
ional resources, expenditures in the
department of commerce and labor,
military. affairs, national banks. pub
lie health and national quarantine.
The public building committee is
one Of the most sought after by SEN
ators generally, 1t handles all bills
authorizing construction Of public
buildings, post offices, court houses
etc., and at least once in every con.
gress reports general public build
ing bill. Senators who are on this
committee usually are able to secure
liberal recognition for their states,
and as every state wants as many
public buildings as possible. member
ship on this committee is a valuable
thing. For the western man the com
mittee on agriculture is desirable
thing because that committee not only
reports the agricultural appropria'
ton bill, but handles all legislation at
fecting forest reserves. live stock and
kindred subjects affecting the farmer

Spirit Of God and the spirit of Satan.
Sin has wrought death. not merely to
mans body. but to his mind. his con-
science. Ability to discern between
right and wrong therefore varies. Ad-
ditionally. some have opportunities fOt
instruction more than others. The
world in general knows not God. and
hence could not sin against the Holy
Spirit to a degree punishable with the
Second Death.
The Lords faithful followers were
to expect that amongst their .tribnla-
tons would be false accusations which
would bring them before magistrates.
The disciples. usually unlearned. would
feel great trepidation in the presence
Of educated officials They were to
know. however. that the Lords bless
ing would be upon them. and were to
commit all to Him. Nothing in this
implies that Christian ministers should
not study their subject.--2 Tim. 2:l5.

YOUR UNCLE SAM HAS
VAST COAL SUPPLY

Washington. Feb. .25.-1t is quite
probable that few people realize that
We have within the borders of the
United States between 60 and 20 per
cent Of the known coal Of the world.
We have been extracting the coal
and utilizing it in tremendous quanti-
ties for a good many years, and yet,
up to last year. according to the geo.
logical experts, we have taken out
about six-tenths of per cent Of the
known coal supply. This, Of course,
takes no account Of the probable vast
body of undiscovered coal measures.
At the present, rate of extraction our
supply would last several thousand
years.

WITH BLANK MIND HE
 MYSTIF|ES A COLLEGE
Man Gan 0nIy Remember Three
 Events In His Life.

Pullman, Wash.-The most remarka- ble case of lost identity ever brought to the attention of the instructors in psychology at the State college is that of man about thirty-fve years old, intelligent and of studious inclina- tions, who enrolled in the department of civil engineering at the beginning of the college year. He gives the name of William Summerville, but the col lege authorities have no proof that that is his true name.
 Every recollection of his past life is plotted from his memory with the ex- ception of three items.
 Summerville says that he remembers clearly that his parents were drowned in the Galveston flood. Besides this he has faint remembrance of seeing ing a member of surveying crew in central Washington some months ago.
 An examination of Summerville by the college professors in psychology shows that he has an acquaintance of surveying instruments. but that he Is deficient in knowledge of mathemat- les essential to the practical surveyor.
 He has proved an industrious stu dent and spends much spare time in the college library reading works on history and science. He seems famiI- far with textbooks on botany and trig- onometry.
 Summerville is tall and well built and unoaEs uith enuthorn acconf He is paying his expenses at the col lege by day labor on the new college building.

FAMOUS DIAMOND CROOKS CAPTURED
Paris Police Arrest Bavarian Noble man and Learn That He is Lead
 CT of Band of Thieves.

PARIS, April 20.--After an excit- ing chase extending over half the countries of Europe, the police today arrested Count Gelas, Bavarian and four of his accomplices. They were wanted in connection with the theft of valuable jewels from a diamond merchant in this city some months ago.
 The identity of the famous crooks came as surprise to the police men who made the arrests. The off cers were unaware of the importance of their capture until the crooks were identified at police headquarters as the men for whom the police of half of Europe were searching.
 The arrest of Count Gelas and his accomplices has revealed the exist ence of a clever band of crooks which have mulcted the jewellers of Euro pean cities for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Investigation has dis closed the fact that they were just about to put another of their schemes into operation.
 Count Gelas, who has been accept ed by the highest society of the city, occupied apartments in one of the leading hostelries. He placed an or der with jewellers for diamonds val ued at more than $1OO,00O and had arranged with his confederates to rob the drummer of the diamond merchants. The drummer was sus- picious and engaged the services of policemen in plain clothes to guard his precious burden. The disclosure that the count was the head of a band |of international thieves has caused a sensation in the clubs and social circles where he had been pop ular.

George HoIton, Minneapolis Stock Broker, Spends Clients Money
 and Commits Suicide.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, April 20 George Holton, Minneapolis stock broker, left the train at this place yesterday and committed suicide by drinking poison. He died a few hours later in the local hospital here suf- fering intense agony.
 Holton was a stock broker in Min neapolis and had been entrusted by a lady client with $12,O00 for invest ments in stocks, but he had spec ulated with the money, expecting to make some easy money on a quick raise in mining stock, but the mar ket turned and wiped out his mar gins instead and also his clients money. He feared prosecution, so determined to take his life, which he did yesterday.
 Relatives of the dead broker have been notified and have claimed the remains. The woman client has been rendered almost ,penniless jby the action of her broker, and so far the police have been unable to find enough of an estate to more than pay the funeral expenses.
