This must be considered pretty good beer business for a prohibition town. A second drugstore is said to have sales exceeding these figures, and the whisky sales of both are said to be prodigious. Whisky is 15 cents per glass at all drugstores and eyeless porkers at the county seat. One saloonkeeper, who used to have two barkeepers, is said to run his place of business by himself, dispensing with his employees, who used to draw $100 a month, and saving his monthly license fee of $66. Here is a monthly saving to him of $266, and his liquor sales continue on a large scale. His bill for light is smaller than during license days, for he does not keep open until midnight. On a vote President Roosevelt has ordered the Department Commerce to thoroughly investigate the pet industry of the United States. The object is to whether the Standard Oil Company is an ill-nation in restraint of trade. The Bureau of customs will make the investigation. James B. commissioner of corporations and a personal the President, is to have charge. The investment to be more thorough than any trust inquiry. The President has determined that the St. monopoly shall be broken, and, anticipating hard fight, he has issued instructions that it immediately, in order that it may be completed his term of office expires. The prosecution will been inaugurated last summer had not the feared his action would be criticised as having to political motives. Special agents of the Corporations are to be sent over the United States make preliminary investigations, just as was the case of the beef trust. The President exerted it will require some time to get sufficient energy begin a formal prosecution, but he is determining it. One motive which has influenced the President beginning the fight against the Standard Oil is the fact that the Department of Commerce accomplished a great deal during the two yeas been in existence. Congress is to be asked for appropriations for its conduct, and with the Oil fight on, the President believes the department prohibition town. A second drugstore is said to have sales exceeding these figures, and the whisky sales of both are said to be prodigious. Whisky is 15 cents per glass at all drugstores and eyeless porkers at the county seat. One saloonkeeper, who used to have two barkeepers, is said to run his place of business by himself, dispensing with his employes, who used to draw $100 a month, and saving his monthly license fee of $66. Here is a monthly saving to him of $266, and his liquor sales continue on a large scale. His bill for light is smaller than during license days, for he does not keep open until midnight. On a vote between license and "prohibition," this gentleman would probably vote with the drys. There are said to be twenty-four places at Santa Ana where liquor is sold, and the former revenue of $5600 per year from the liquor business has to be met by the taxpayers in other lines of business. A very nice state of affairs, certainly. When Gen. John C. Black is made pension commissioner, as it seems probable that he will be, it is said on good authority to be the President's determination to make Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri his successor as president of the Civil Service Commission. Cockrell will lose his seat in the Senate as the result of the Republican landslide. He has no income, and as he is held in high esteem by the President, it is said to be Mr. Roosevelt's desire to do something for him. The Republicans have long held that Cockrell was not far outside of their fold. Owing to the fact that neither Pension Commissioner Ware's letter of resignation nor the President's letter accepting it mentioned any date, the question has been raised unofficially as to when the resignation takes effect. Some believe that all acts of Commissioner Ware since November 13th, when he wrote the letter, are illegal. Ware said this week that he intended to remain in office until December 15th, as the President had so requested. With turkeys selling dressed at 35 cents per pound and hens' eggs bringing 40 cents per dozen, it would seem the lot of the farmer is a happy one. Yet they tell us little margin is left on turkeys when the expense of raising and feeding them a year is taken into consideration. The owner of half a hundred hens west of town states that he gathers less than a dozen eggs daily, his fowls absolutely refusing to lay: Feed is high, and with a minimum of eggs offering, it seems there is little money in the business even at the top-notch figures prevailing. A San Bernardino delegate to the League meeting at Santa Ana promoted the nations by delivering himself of the remarkament that newspapers were at best a useless brance upon the public, doing more harm than This person is said to have had no difficulty ing a number of blind pigs at the county was probably under the influence of the critical unlunging himself of this absurd hypothesis. from San Berdoo, he probably values blind more highly than the newspapers. There counting for tastes, especially when reference to rampant gin-guzzlers from San Bernardino Democrats of the south have resolved the next national election their section must recognition by their party. The south is oupon to return the usual majority for the time has since the war been given scant recognition northern Democrats. It seems time the should be changed. A nominee from south son and Dixon's line surely could not have worse at the recent election than the trust Esopus. Gov.

In the early days of the last century Sir Walter Scott, writing from London to a friend in Edinburgh, said, “There is a fool here who is trying to light the city with smoke.” Sir Walter’s “smoke” was not a human invention. Accumulations of gas from coal beds found their way to the surface and, being highly inflammable, attracted the attention of men who erected altars over them, and their perpetual fires were dedicated to the gods. For thousands of years the Chinese have speculated upon the meaning of the natural gas which has escaped abundantly from the earth in several provinces. In 1720 Dr. Hales informed chemists that by distilling a few grains of coal he had obtained an equal number of cubic inches of “inflammable air” and that if attempted on a large scale millions upon millions of cubic feet of that valuable substance could be made and conveyed unseen along the highways of the land and become the means for obtaining perpetual day. In 1813 Sir Walter’s “smoke” was burned on Westminster bridge in London, and one year later the streets of St. Margarets, Westminster, enjoyed illumination from gas. It being the first parish contracting for such a luxury. Looking Down Into Four States. From Mount Genevieve, a peak in Gilpin county, Colo., a person can see into four states and one territory.

Here is a strange yet absolutely true story, in which a clock plays a mysterious part: It was a small American timepiece which stood on a mantelpiece in a sitting room in a Liverpool builder's house. At 11:30 one morning the timepiece fell from the mantelpiece to the floor. When picked up it was found to be quite uninjured and still going, as if nothing unusual had happened. There seemed to be absolutely no reason why it should have fallen, but an hour later when the builder came home to his midday meal he remarked that at 11:30 he fell from the top of a building, but happily without sustaining any injury. His wife then described how the clock had fallen at the same time, and the couple pondered in vain over the curious and utterly inexplicable coincidence. — Liverpool Post.
