Tramp Gets Life Job on Railroad Returning $10,000. for An express messenger on the Great Northern Railroad unknowingly threw away $10,000 in gold coin. It was buried in the deep snows of the Cas cade foothills, where it was found by an honest tramp and restored to proper hands. The tramp was re warded for his honesty by being given a life-time job on the railroad. These are the outlines of a story which those interested have tried to keep from the public for two weeks. On Tuesday, March 15, the Puget Sound National Bank, of Seattle, shipped on the Great Northern train leaving here in the morning two sacks of cold coin, each to the First National Bank of Snohomish, Wash. P?ifTi co Mr fnntninod !5K(VJrt in trnld Express Messenger Andrews had charge of them. They weighed 50 ! pounds. i In some way Andrews overlooked , the monev when the train reached Snohomish and carried it by. Then, rather than nut the sacks of coin oft" at one of the small stations beyond, Andrews decided that he would ' hold on to it and transfer it to Express Messenger Taplin on the westbound Great Northern train No. 1, which his train would pass at a small sta tion in Chelan County, two stations the other side of the summit of the Cascade Mountains. The two trains passed about 2:30 o'clock that afternoon. Andrews sig naled to Taplin that he had a package for him, as interchange of news papers and small packages are -often made at that point. Andrews loose ly wrapped the two sacks and the waybill in a newspaper. As the open doors of the express cars were oppo site each other, Andrews threw the package over to the other train. The newspaper and the wavbill reached Taplin's hands, but the two sacks of gold slipped out almost as soon as they had left Andrews' hands. The gold fell into a drift of snow between the railroad tracks and the two trains went on in opposite direc tion, neither express messenger being aware of the fact that the money had been lost Taplin looked at the newspaper and decided that Andrews had simply presented him with the late news. He'sat down to read the paper as the train was approaching Seattle. Then it was that the waybill fell from the folds of the newspaper. Taplin was dumbfounded to learn that he was supposed to have in his possession $10,000 in money, which was not there. When the train reached Seattle, Division Superintendent Scott, of the express company, was communicated with. The latter telegraphed to An drews at all points on the line and to other railroad officials. Searching parties were sent from several sta tions to look along the track, think ing the money had fallen from the car after Taplin's train came on toward Seattle. Late that afternoon" a trackman" walked into the Great Northern. ofHca at Chiwaukum with the two sacks of gold. He said that he had met. a tramp and the tramp had found the" money just where it was dropped by' Express Messenger Andrews. The tramp was walking along the track and kicked up the money in the snow. He gave it to the trackwalker and told him to turn it over to the proper officials. The tramp was immediately .sent for. He was asked his occupation,-! but said he had none", but used to run pumping stations on railroads like the one at Chiwaukum. The division superintendent tpld him he could have- that job for life if he wanted it, and then and there signed up Iho papers to draw a salary of $75 a month 'for life. The tramD now has charge of the Chiwaukum pumping station. Treating Oregon in a Meanly Manner. Washington, March 17 The House subcommittee on expositions today reported the Lewis and Clark Exposition bill, carrying an aggregate appropriation of $450,000, and in ad- ' " .. . . , dition authorizing tho coining of 2o0,000 souvenir gold dollars, rmch the Exposition authorities may pur chase at par and sell at $2 each. The subcommittee's bill will be considered by the full committee this afternoon or tomorrow, when the ap- propriation may be slightly increased. As agreed upon by the subcommittee, the bill provides for tho free imuorJ , ,. i , . ..... ,, l. i tation of foreign exhibits; authorizes the appointment of a Government board to collect, prepare, install and care for a Government exhibit, to ' cost not more than $200,000; author izes the Secretary of the Interior to mako an Alaska exhibit, using the Alaska exhibit from the St Louis Ex position, to cost not moro than $25,- 000 in addtion to the amounts here tofore appropriated; authorizes tho Secretary of tho Treasury to direct tho Government building, fish com mission station, lifesaving station, and tho building or buildings for the Philippines, Hawaiian and Alaska ex hibits: also the buildincs for tho Oriental and oceanic exhibits limit of cost of these buildings to $225,000. In detail, the subcommittee the be set aside $75,000 for the mail and Gov ernment buildinir. and $150,000 for the buildings for the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands, Alaska and Orien tal exhibits. At the full committee meeting tho subcommittee bill will be considered, and perhaps amended somewhat. Tho exact amounts for the various build ings will then'be fixed, and possibly a Government forestry building will be added to the list No conclusion has yet been reached as to Sunday closing, but it is proba ble the committee will reject the Sunday closing amendment in the Senate bill. Chairman Tawney says the appro priation of $450,000 for the Exposi tion is equivalent to $000,000 or $700,000 under ordinary circum stances, because of the saving on the exhibits already collected for the St. Louis Exposition. Portland iMcn as Pallbearers.

Twenty Thousand Bricklayers Strike New York, March 19 Twenty thousand bricklayers and. laborers, and about 2000 ironworkers are on strike, and unless a settlement can be reached at a conference today, the strike probably will spread until about 100,000 men are involved. The employers, considering it improbable that any settlement will be reached, are preparing for the strike which they think will follow. Members of other unions who will be out of work because they cannot proceed with building without the bricklayers, are said to be indignant that the bricklayers should tie up the whole building industry. . Twenty-five hundred lithographers have struck rather than be locked out Tfieyquit when they found that they must sign the arbitration agree ment or be discharged. Hearst Is' Endorsed. SAN FIiancisco, March 19. The Democratic state ..central committee met in this city-today, and during its deliberation brought forth a factional fi'gh't that-resulted in some rather warm speeches. The Hearst forces were strong, and brought before -.the committee a reso lution recommending that the state convention Instruct tho delegation from California to the St. Louis con vention to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Hearst for president of the United States. ;,The resolution, after small argu ment,, was. .adopted. Immediately afterward--Edward: Loajef 0f Yolo countynnoV .James Barry, of San Fran cisco, took the floor and made caustic speeches, in which Hearst was de nounced as a traitor to his party.

Paris, March 19 General Voyron member of the council of war of France, who was commander in chief of the French troops during tho war with China, has expressed his views of the outcome of the Russo-Japanese war. "It is most difficult to predict the duration of the war. As a friend of Russia I am happy to know that the damage done to the Russian ships at Port Arthur by tho unjust attack of the Japanese has been repaired, and sincerely hope that the two squadrons of tho Russian navy may succeed in uniting. "On land also it is necessary that Russian forces become one good unit, ying tho commands of one chief. ltrwili t.wn, I think, bo comparative ly easy to drive the Japanese out of Korea. Alc-clefTst Move Ih WIhc. "I consider the move of Admiral Alexieff in making Harbin the head quarters of the Russian forces a very wise one, as this will aid in the con centration of the troops. The Cos sacks will prove themselves very dan gerous to the Japanese and should be able to destroy the lines of communi cation. "I know personally how the Japa nese must dread these rough riders, which filled them with admiration by their daring feats of horseman ship during the war in China. "The war may last a long time, but I have not the slightest doubt that in the end the -Japanese will have seri ous cause to regret having tackled the Russian bear. "I wish to call your attention to this little list of acts carried out with j success by the men whose names are I now prominent as Russian leaders.! From this you will see very plainly j that the Japanese have no voice in ' the art of war to contend with. ! JIatnrorr Is nisllnzulMlicd. j "Admiral MakarofF, whose strong j personality made itself fell every! moment he guarded Port Arthur, is I 5G years of age. j "He distinguished himself greatly ' during the war with Turkey in 1S7S j and for hisj hrvnrv tro nr-iHmtAI I with a golden sword by Czar Alexan der III, who shortly afterward made him his aide de camp. "Later he fought under General Skobeloff in Turkestan and during a short stay in Constantinople he suc ceeded in obtaining possession of! plans of all the Turkish forts sur rounding that city. "He is somewhat of a military in ventor and has also invented a new i type of powerful ice breaker used on ! Lake Baikal as well as in the Arctic ocean, rle is without any doubt the most brilliant and talented officer in the Russian army. :enernl Kouropnlkluls V ear len. "General Kouropatkin, the new commander in chief of the Russian armies in the far east? was born in the same year as Admiral MakarofF. '"The confidence which he inspires is due to his absolute fearlessness. Five years ago he was notified by a secret service agent that the great powder magazines of Toulan and St. Petersburg were to be blown up with in 24 houra. Toulan was outside of his district, but General Kouropatkin, who was in bed when he was notified of tho plans of the anarchists, lost no time in getting to St. Petersburg. Having called all the officers and men together, he personally inspected all the magazines and found everything in perfect order, except for a sus picious wire which ran outside the establishment. He immediately gave everybody three days furlough with orders to leave at once and installed a new force in charge of the maga zines. Nothing happened at St. Pe tersburg, but the next morning the magazines at Toulan were blown up. "From all of the foregoing," con cluded General Voyron, "I think you will agree with mo that tho war is not yet at an end." Sir Thomas Upton Wants New Rules. New York, March 10 The New York Yacht Club has replied to tho letter of Sir Thomas Lipton, in which tne Trj3h Baronet asked if the club I , M . ene for a nCQ ., , . , , for tho America's cup under the new rules of measurement of tho club, .This letter was received early in Jan- uary an(j acknowledged, but it was nofc deemed of smTlcient importance j to call a special meeting of tho club for its consideration, as no challengo could bo accepted for a race this !year , The lettorwa3 read to the members . , at tho annual meeting, February 18, and. referred to a special committoo, i th Power to answor for the club. This committoo considered the pro- posals of Sir Thoma3 carefully has now mailed tho reply. and Sir Thoma3 Lipfcon, in asking if the club would accept a challenge under tho new rules, practically asked the club to bar the Reliance, Constitution and Columbia from participating in future races for the cup. Those boat could not be used as defenders, be cause the present rules of the club limit the draught of any boat to 18 feet, and these three draw 20 feet each. It is understood from club members who have a knowledge of what the committee'agreed upon, that in the letter it is intimated to Sir Thomas Lipton that tho club does not cross a bridge until it comes to it, and that it has no power to ?ay what it will do in the event of .. Ik, :u) , hg re-! ceivod, and can maUe no agreement with anvone which shall arovern f u- turokonteets. The latter points out i that the deed of gift requires a chal lenge to come to some one yacht' club and that it is the challenging club , and not the representative, that the New York Yacht Club recognizes a cnauengea received lrora aome yacht club, asking for a race under certain conditions, then tho matter will be considered by the New York Yacht Club and some deanite action taken.

"It is of course best to est slowly, hut not too to tne inner wan. i much," stirs Dr. Pierce, chief consulting" physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. In this soth century people devote so much time to head work that their brain is fagged and there isn't sufficient blood left to properly take care of the other organs of the body. The stomach must be assisted in its hari worj. the liver started iuto tction by the use of a good stomach tonic, which should be entirely of vegetable ingredients and without alcohol. After years of experience in an active practice. Dr. Pierce discovered a remedy that suited these conditions in a blood-maker and tissue-builder. He called it Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery an alterative extract that assists in the digestion and assimilation of the food in the stonweh so that the blood gets what it needs for food and oxidation, the liver is at the same time started into activity and thtre is perfect elimination of waste mat ter. Whcu the blood is pure and rich, nil the organs work without effort, and the body is like a perfect machine.
