Down .Expense of 'Operation in- the;.Cascade Mpuntain'Djstrlct. CJIICAGO, Dec 1. The use of elec tricity as the motive power for cross ing the .mountains is being thoroughly investigated by both the Norther Pa cific .and the Great Northern Roads, iwith every probability of its early adoption. The change, if made, -will be in the interest of economy In opera tion. The coal consumption is so ehonmous in the mountains that the railways would be glad to adopt elec tric -traction If the electrical engineers eould-provo the economy of it. A steam railway expert from one of the largest -electric manufacturing companies bas recently spent several weeks Investigating the possibilities of electric traction on the Northern Pa cific in "Washington. The Great Northern's motive-power department has also given a great deal of attention to the problem. The North ern Pacific crosses the Cascade Range by the Stampede Pass through the Stampede Tunnel, -while the Great Northern, which formerly had a switch tback in Stevens Pass, now uses the Cascade Tunnel at the same point. , The coal consumption of both roads through the. mountains is very heavy. The Northern Pacific is fortunate in having its own coal fields on both sides of the mountains. It has mines on the western aide of the Cascade in the Carbon River district, about 35 miles southeast of Tacoma. Its principal mine is at Roslyn, on the eastern side of the mountain., a few miles from the Stampede TunneL Tho Great Northern is not so fortunate in Its coal supply in the mountains. It buys a- great deal of coal from the Northern Pacific Along the Northern Pacific, on the Great Northern in the Cascade country, there are a great many water powers which could be utilized in generating electricity.

MARINETTE, Wis., Dec 1. Isaac Stephenson, millionaire politician, whose name was frequently used by Lincoln J. Steffens in his article in relation to cor ruption in Wisconsin politics, and par ticularly to the time of John C Spooner's election to the United States Senate in 18S5, has denied he was the source of Steffen's .information. He does not deny that the charges might have been true, but in an open letter he declares he did not furnish the information. The letter is to Hon. Marion Wescott, Shawno, Wis., end in part says: "An article was published in McClure's Magazine for October, 1904, written by Mr. Lincoln Steffens, purporting to give some inside facts relative to Wisconsin political history, which caused quite a sensation and much newspaper and other comment Some people Interpreted certain portions of that article as stating or in sinuating that many, if not all, of the sup jporters of Senator Spooner were influenced to vote for him by some form of bribery. 1 was put in the attitude of furnishing the information on which the supposed charge or insinuation was based. It is not my purpose to discuss wnether the interpreta tion stated can fairly be given to what was said by Mr. Steffens, but I will say as strongly as I know how to that In any in formation I gave to him in any way it was not my intention to say or Insinuate that any member of the" Legislature was brought to the support of Senator Spooner by any species of bribery, and nothing was said by roe to Mr. Steffens, or in blsj presence, which, fairly understood, would Justify an insinuation that .any member of .the'iLegislature was- bribed to vote for anybody."

DENVER, Colo., Dec. L Only three witnesses for the defense were heard to day In the election cases pending before United States Commissioner A. B. Capron. The heating was Interrupted by the neces sity lor the presence of several of the de fendants In the Supreme Court, where they stand charged with contempt The cases before the Commissioner are based upon the charge that the defendants prevented Adolph Welmer from voting in Precinct Eight of the Fifth Ward. Welmer alleges that his ballot wag already marked "So cialist" when handed .him, and that when he insisted on having a second ballot he was thrown out of the polling place by two of the defendants. Alderman Michael Mafconeyt Cbarl Kofsky and -Edward Qmalla, respectively -judge.and clerks of election, all of the de fence, testified that Welmer did not dls coer that tho word - SocialIst" was on his ballot until after it had been handed to Kofsky, whose duty bad been to tear off the second of the reference slips, and the latter had. returned it to him. The de fendants added that -a number of other voters -were waiting their turn at the time so that it was possible Welraer's ballot had been handed to some other voter and placed In the box and that the ballot that was returned to him was that of some other voter. The witnesses for the prosecution had all testified that "Welmer came out of the booth protesting against the ballot which he said had a mark on it and that he had not yet handed it to the judge to be folded, pasted and marked for deposit in the bal lot box.

ASSISTANCE TO 1061 SHIPS Lives of 3400 Persons and Property to the Value of Nearly $7,000,000 Were Involved Favors Re tirement System. WASHINGTON, Dec L The annual re port of the General Superintendent of the Life-Saving Service for the fiscal year ending June 30. ISM, shows that during the year assistance was rendered by the life-saving crews to 1051 vessels of all kinds, involving the lives of more than 3400 persons and property to the value of nearly $7,000,000. The crews also rescued 103 persons not on board vessels from various perilous situations, and through signal warnings of tho beach patrols saved from possible disaster 161 vessels In danger of stranding. Vessels wrecked were generally of small tonnage There were 359 casualties to registered vessels. Involving 2545 persons', of whom 21 were lost The estimated value of those vessels was $4,693,855 and of their cargoes $1,757,927, making the total estimated value of property Imperiled 56,456,780. Of this amount there was saved $5,059,150, and $1,365,830 was lost Of the 359 vessels which suffered disaster, 50 were totally lost Among the smaller craft, not registered, such as sailboats, rowboats, pleasure launches, etc, 411 casualties occurred, Im perilling the lives of S03 persons, of whom M were lost The value of these vessels with their cargoes Is estimated at $348,750, and with a loss of $$620. This makea the total number of disasters to vessels of all kinds 770. with a valuation of $6,750,630, of which $5,330,050 was saved and $3,750,350 was lost The total number of persons Involved was 3328, of" Whom 34 lost their lives. The net expenditure for the maintenance of the service during the fiscal year .was $1,766,446. The telephone system maintained by the service has proved of great assistance, and much attention has been given to Its Improvement and extension. Numerous points not heretofore reached have been connected, and the line has been kept con stantly in such repair that, even under the most adverse circumstances, communica tion has not been seriously Interrupted for more than a few hours at any time. The life-saving lines now extend practi cally unbroken from Maine to the Caro linas and have connection at all Impor tant points with the commercial telephone and telegraph lines of the country, and abo, where desirable, with the light houses and weather bureau offices on the coast The life-saving stations, the report says, constitute an Important factor in the sys tem of patrol guard maintained by the Navy Department for protecting the coast in time of war, and it is expected the wireless telegraph system, now being tested by the Navy, when sufficiently per fected, will be extended to the llfe-cavlng station; in fact plans already are being prepared for its installation. The General Superintendent again ear nestly urges the Justice and propriety of extending the retirement system of the Army and Navy to tho members of the life-saving service, thus providing for those who become disabled In the line of duty or unfit for further service by rea son of advancing age. HOLDS SENATOR BURTON KNEW Prosecutor Argues Grain Concern Em ployed Solon to Gain His Influence. WASHINGTON, Dec 1-SolicItor- iienerai. .tioyt, or. the Department ot justice, maae tne opening argument for the Government In the case of united States Senator James R. Bur ton, of Kansas, in the Supreme Court of the United States. He contended tnat this was an ordinary criminal case, and the questioning of the Juris diction of the court which tried Mr. Burton could not be successfully raalri- tamea. Replying to a question from Justice White, Mr. Hoyt said Mr. Burton's name appearea on the Rial to Com pany's circulars, but at what time he could not say. Justice White replied that as the department was investi gating tne case, the time seemed very material. Mr. Hoyt arirued that Senator Bur ton knew Just what he was doing when he accepted service with the Rialto Company. He said it was question able whether a Senator should perform such services as were required of the defendant by the company, but when he accepted a fee "he linked the fatal chain." Mr. Hoyt discussed tho claim of the defense that the charge was an "in famous crime" instead of a. "misde meanor," and therefore that the de fense should have ten, instead of three challenges. He alleged that the con tention of the defense -was not valid. Justice White asked it he' did not real ize that the penalty carried a disquali fication of the accused, would debir him from citizenship and forever put a stigma upon him. Mr. Hoyt maintained that the statute made the offense a misde meanor. Mr. Lehman closed the case in an hour's argument for Senator Burton. He re viewed the testimony with reference to Mr, Burton's visits to the Postofflce De partment and insisted they involved no possible interest of the United States. Mr. Lehman alro maintained that the charge of the lower court was unfair to the defendant CORBIN APPOINTS BOARD. Will Consider Details of Army Admin istration in Philippines. MANILA, Dec 1.

The Treasury statement of the Government receipts and expenditures shows that the total receipts STARVED TO DEATH. Our text today is the story of the miser who taught his ass to live on straw, of which he gave him a smaller portion every day. Just as the miser had got him so trained as to eat one straw a day the poor ass died. He Is an ass who starves himself to death as thousands are doing, misled by foolish teachers because their stomachs have become too woak, through neglect i or disease, to do the work which Nature has provided for their stomachs to do. Because the engine is out of gear, would you consign it to tne juntt neap; Why, no! Mend it! rv,L llo. At ......... o. w o.v. ft tlvo organs leak? Certainly not! Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One thing is sure as shooting. You can never get a new stomach. Tou must mend it, or it will lead you a miserable existence. The only way to mend It Is to take Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets. This has been practically and scien tifically demonstrated by .the many thou sands whom Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have positively cured, after every other treatment of medicine, mineral waters, pills and slow, suicidal starvation, had failed. These methods are all unscientific therefore false. , Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are scientific therefore true, and successful. x Having cured so many thousands many of whom doubtless have suffered more than you do do we claim too much when we say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good to you? Surely not. Especially when wo make it plain that no promise is made to cure more than one disease Dyspepsia. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a positive cure for just this one disease. They arc a scientific comblnatloii of In gredients which search out tho weak spots in all tho digestive organs and make them strong and well. They have an Immediate digestive action on undigested food, and thus, while curing weak organs, they at the same time help them to do their work. They thus stand for all that Is good in the medical treatment of dyspepsia, and for nothing that Is bad. They are not a fad but a fact. They are safe, pleasant, certain and per manent, and can be taken by the most Vdellcate Invalids without fear of harmful results.
