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.
Washington, March IS Funeral
services were hew this morning at
10 o'clock at St Paul's Episcopal
church, in this city, over the remains
of Mrs. Francis Hovt Griffin, daugh
ter of Senator Mitchell. The body
was interred at Rock -Creek Ceme
tery. Senator Fulton, Representa
tive Hermann and Messrs. H V Scott,
Whitney L Boise, Oskar Huber and
H C Robertson, of Portland, acted as
pallbearers. The funeral was largely
attended by friends of Mrs. Griffin,
who was well known in
Washington.
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

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.

French General Reviews the War.
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.

Cafes and lunch-rooms are filledfrith men
and women who seem to give all their time

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.
