ALLEGEDSLAYERS
 ENTER PLEASOF ]. NOT GUILTY
(From Fridays -Daiiyl

the Mexican soldiers who are held in the county jail on a charge of kill ing another Mexican at the Nellie Campbell resort on the night of De cember 29th, yesterday appeared in court and entered pleas of not guilty to the murder charge which had been filed by the county attorney. Attor- ney .Cornick, who represented the men, made motion to quash the in formation, but was overruled by the court. Both men were held without bail and will be tried at the coming jury session of the superior court which is slated to begin about Feb ruary 18th. ,.r.
 Habeas Corpus Effective.
 Judge Sweeney yesterday ordered the release of E. Palma, who had been held in the county jail here on felony charge since August 18th, the prisoner having secured his lib ertv via the habeas corpus route. It seems that Palma, wno was commit ted to jail by the Humboldt justice of the peace, had never had an in formation filed against him by the county attorney within the required 30 days, and his trial was conse- quently never called. In November, the prisoner petitioned Judge Sweeney to secure his release from jail but nothing was done about the matter at that time. On Wednes- day Attorney Loy began habeas cor pus proceedings and when the mat ter came before the court, Judge Sweeney held that tne mans con finement in jail was not according to Hoyle and directed Sheriff Davis to release him.

In the first complaint, nine specific ln- stances are enumerated wherein the defendant companies have allowed the shipments to dwindlc consider able while in care of the respective carriers, the loss totalling $1,670. The second complaint alleges a number of similar bits of carelessness on the part of the rail lines, tle loss due to these instances being placed at $4- 96O.

He Had one Better,

One of our honest old farmers came
home and found a sewing-machine man
in the house demonstrating to the
women what fine work it would do.

WILLING TO BE PUT WISE
Private Ready to Absorb Any lnfor-
nation Brgadier General Was
Able to Impart.

In all the armies in the war disci-
pline was lax in the air service. Army
men are at loss to account for it,
but without exception laxity was evi-
dent in all the air camps.
The San Francisco Chronicle tells
the following experience told by Brig.
Gen. Benjamin Alvord when the latter
was adjutant general Of the A. E. b.
The general had been sent by General
Pershing to make an inspection about
Colombey-le Bellies.
He walked around without getting
the attention the doughboys would
show an officer of his rank. No one
saluted him and no one noticed him.
Once in while captain or major
would snap salute, but not the en-
listed men. 1t rather riled the general
who always scrupulously followed
army regulations himself. Finally
when private passed him with a
cigar in his mouth, and, although look
ing right at him, failed to salute, the
general thought it was time to call a
halt.
"Come here, young fellow" he called
"Say, what do you do in this camp
when general officer shows up?"
"All right, I'll bite, what is it, old
tOp?" parted the private.

Pipe Built Like a cornet.

A tobacco pipe of unusual design
has been invented by Warren Murray
Baechtel of Hagerstown, Md. Every
pipe smoker knows that the longer the
stem of his pipe the cooler will be the
smoke. Pipes with stems few feet
long have been in use in different
countries for many years, but their
awkward length precluded their use
outside OF, the house. The inventor of
the pipe circumvented the difficulty by
coiling the stem of the pipe like the
tube of a cornet or signal horn. The
coils are connected at their lower end
to form a dripping chamber for receiv-
ing the saliva which accumulates in
the STEM Each coil has an :ndepend-
ent opening into the dripping chamber
and screw cap at the bottom gives
access to it for the removal of the
accumulated saliva. The smoke, in
passing through the coils of the stem,
is drained several times of saliva and
nicotine.

OPERA SUCCEEDS BULL FIGHT
Famous Arena in Mexico City Will No
Longer Be Scene of Brutal
Slaughter.

The Teatro ell Toro in Mexico City,
once one, of the most pretentious of
bull fight arenas, is now the home of
grand opera as result of President
Carranza's decree that bull fights
should cease. Interspersing grand
opera, dancers and concert artists
have appeared in the arena, and it is
stated that these various forms of
amusement will be offered until some
definite action is taken as to the flu
ture of bull fighting.
1t was in this arena that what is
said to be one of the most remarkable
spectacles in the history of the sport
was staged. A bull, 81 Bonito, known
as one of the fiercest fighters, on being
brought into the arena charged and
killed three horses and injured as
many men without being touched by
the estoque Of any matador.
AS the bull stood believing def.
ance and with no one apparently will
ing to attack him, Miguel Ballo. a
picador who was a spectator in one
of the boxes, leaped unarmed into the
Enclosure. In his outstretched hand he
carried two Jumps of sugar, which he
nonchalantly offered to the bull. The
animal suddenly ceased it's believing
and In few moments docilely licked
the sugar from Ballo's hand. The
latter returned unframed to his box
amid the plaudits of the spectators.

Analo.lrish Tunnel.

g
Not only, is II. thought that the long
talkedof tunnel between England and
France willyabe constructed at no re-
mote date, Fbut there is also talk Of a
tunnel between England and Ireland.
This would restore to slight extent
the geographical union. that existed be-
tween the two countries in one geologi-
cal age thousands and thousands of
years ago. Great Britain and Ireland
We're then separated only by a great
valley.
It is proposed to carry the tunnel
from some point on the coast of Ian
cashire to the nearest point in Antrim
or down on the Irish coast, a subma-
rine length of "a miles. One of the
great benefits of the tunnel would be
that 1t would shorten the transatlantic
Journey by at least 4S hours. 1t would
also help the Irish cattle trade and the
shipping of perishable goods, especial
~ fish, to English markets. Estimates
Of the cost of the proposed tunnel vary
from $35.OO0,0OO to $so,OOO,OOO.

SUFFERED FOR THEIR FAITH
French Huguenots Driven Into Exile
by the Revocation of the Edict
of Nantes.


The. Huguenots were the Puritans Of
France in the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries. The name was first
used about 1850; its origin is I'M
known. The .Huguenots suffered Sc
verely in the reigns of Francis and
his immediate successors, and after
1862 We're frequently involved in war,
under the leadership of such men as
Admiral Coligny and King Henry of
Navarro, afterwards Henry " of
France. Coligny and from 10000 to
10000 others fell in the massacre Of
st. Bartholomew, August "a, 1872. 1t
is disputed in history whether this
was suddenly caused by the discov-
cry of Huguenot plots or had been
premeditated. In spite of all this,
they continued numerous and power
full and the edict of Nantes, issued in
1898 by Henry ~ gave them full po-
%litfcal and civil rights. Their power
was broken after the surrender of
LaRochelle and the revocation of the
edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1885,
and hundreds of thousands of Hugue-
nots went into exile, going to Prus-
STA, Holland, Switzerland, England.
Scotland and America.

EARLY BUILDING FOR SUCCESS
Youths Wise Employment of Leisure
Hours Means Everything in His
After Life.

If the young man could only as
similate very early in his life the fact
that merely to live and eat and drink
and sleep, and then die, is not enough,
but that he must rob himself of many
of the pleasures usually taken up by
young men If he means to make his
life of the highest possible use to the
world, he would set his foot on the
pathway to accomplish something
worth while.
There is no harm in billiards or
pool or in dancing, baseball or card
playing, or any one of the scores of
different diversions and recreatfons
open to young men. The natural in
clination usually is to devote large
part of the leisure hours~of young man
hood to such pleasures. But the youth
who is really earnest in his ambition
to do something worth while will dis
cipline himself to resist such tempta-
lions during his early, formative years,
for the whole fate of man is largely
determined by how he utilities his plas-
tic years. He may be restricted by
circumstances, by environment, by
family ties in his selection of his daily
work, but every young man. particu-
larly nowadays, has many hours that
he can call his own, and 1t is how he
chooses to use these hours that
counts most and tells most.-Forbes
Magazine.

confidence, asked to see the ring.

graving?"

GIRLS WHO USE CUss WORDS
Singular Admission Said to Have Been
Made by the Members of a
Graduating Class.

1t has long been the fashion at col
leges and schools to take a census of
graduating classes to determine such
vital facts as these:
What is your favorite flower? How
tall are you? Do you smoke? Are
you prohibitionist?
At a girls seminary recent inquiry
was more sweeping. To the interroga-
ton: DO you swear?" 200 of the 215
girls answered yes.
But admitting that they swear is
not proof that these feminine lips do
utter oaths. So at least says the law
in New York state, writes "Griant" in
the Philadelphia Press.
-Four or five people" must hear you
swear, not for second or two, but
for about five minutes"-that's the
law in North Carolina.
Down in Alabama they don't expect
man to swear from the housetops,
but the law says that if three or four
persons hear you just once, good
night!
In Tennessee. it is not necessary to
repeat the offensive words when a
culprit is indicted for swearing.
saw on the veranda of country
club seventeen women of whom twelve
were drinking an intoxicating liquor
and seven were smoking cigarettes.
But if that census at the girls semi
nary is an index, more women swear
than daily with John Barleycorn or
Lady Nicotine.
Query: Why do women insist on
being so much like men?

Legislators Must Work.

( A novel method Of forcing attend
anse in the chamber of deputies of the
Republic of Argentina has been sug-
gested by member who is out of pa
thence with those who draw their sala-
ries from the public purse but fail to
fulfill their constitutional obligation OF
regular attendance.
The suggestion is in the form of q
bill providing for payment per day to
deputies instead of lump sum every
month. Failure to answer the roll
call is equivalent to absence, and the
measure provides that no deputy shall
receive his pay for days when he is
absent from the regular sessions.

comfort While on a Journey
Through the Holy Land.

1t is eight or nine miles, as l esti-
mate, from the Euphrates to Constan-
tinople, if one follows the course of
the Bagdad railroad, whose track is
laid part of the way where the feet
of the ''ten thousand" had marched,
where st. Paul had tramped in his
first and second missionary journeys,
and where Godfrey of Bouillon, Tan
cred, Baldwin, Raymond and Bohe-
mond had passed, and Frederick the
First had persisted.

and yet so condemned by many a
youth) from the Euphrates toward

Aleppo to Damascus, then to Jeru-
salem, then to Haifa (near old
Caesarea where st. Paul took ship),
and then by sea to Beirut and Hernia,

Tarsus, which was also the same town
as that toward which Jonah sailed
from Jaffa, when evading the call to

found under the influence of liquor, or
with any indication of having been
drinking during working hours, will
be: Fined for the first misdemeanor !;
suspended for the second; fred I'M

These mimeographed letters were
placed on the copy boys desk with in
structions to distribute them as soon
as the staff appeared for work the
next afternoon.

that she see the city EDITOR himself.
