war times Mr. Bidwell was a newsboy In
the latter elty, but has not been there
before In thirty years. He went back to
look over the old rout which he used to

Interesting to him. In speaking of affairs
In Washington, Mr. Bidwell said:
"It Is the general understanding there

the klfhest bidder, so that the Indians may
get all that Is due them, or, In other words,

believed there will be anywhere from 10,

obvlOisly be Impossible to give a fair show
to at these persons In case the land 1

OVERLOOK LIBRARY BUDGET

day aad Make Haste to
Atone for It.
A special meeting of the council was
called yesterday so that twenty-two
women and girls In the public library
might draw warranto for February wages.
The total amount was 1868, and It had
been omitted from the regular appropria
tion ordinance passed Tuesday night.
How the library force came to be over
looked Is a mystery, and the mistake was
rectified as soon as It was discovered. A
sheet containing the names of the library
employes was properly made out In the
comptroller's office, but was lost during an
Inspection of the papers. Consequently
when the employes tried to gel their Feb
ruary salaries Wednesday they failed,
much to their surprise and consternation.
Whllo no threats of a strike were heard,
the chivalrous councllmen decided that It
was up to them to "make gord" as soon
as possible and so they got together Thur
day morning and fixed matters.

Prosecution Rests Its Case.
The trial was not resumed until 10:10,
at which time District Attorney Summers
said to the court: "May it please your
honor, the government tests."
H. H. Claiborne, the defendant, told the
story of his visit to station B with Assist
ant Postmaster Woodard for the purpose
of investigating the conditions In his ca
pacity as 'a newspaper man. He did not
know J. Albert Davis, nor was he ac
quainted with Charles Grove, the superin
tendent of the station. He had no Interest
In the matter whatever except from a re
porter's standpoint. He said:
'I made a personal examination of the
window near the coal pile. I stepped on
the coal pile to do so. but before I did so
I noticed depressions In the coal pile about
such as I made by stepping into It.
'I further noticed that the nail that had
been used to secure the window from the
Inside was bent down. I examined the In
side window sill closely and stood on the
coal pile to do so, as the window was about
six feet from the floor. I think Mr.
Woodard stood near the coal pile during
the time I was making the examination
I d'd not call Mr. Woodard' s attention to
the depression nor to any of my observa
tions about the window. There are four
windows at the west end of the basement,
and each have two lights."
Rxamlne tho Safe,
The defendant then related how they went
upstairs to examine the safe. Mr. Wood
ard preceded him. He did not remember
that Grove was In the cellar with them.
The three stood about the safe and were
talking about the robbery; the safe was
open at the time and Ihey were alt stooping
down more or less during the examination.
Subsequently while Mr. Grove and Mr.
Woodard, wof9 between the snfe and, the
stamp window, defendant said he opened
the top drawer with the poker In order
to satisfy himself that It could be done.
The first time defendant's attention Was
called to the fact that his testimony In
the Davis case had been Impeached, was
about a year afterwards when Mr. Sum
mers notified htm that he had been Indicted
for perjury. In the Interim he had never
given the matter a thought. He had never
been arraigned on the indictment other
than to give bond for his appearance, which
ho did. This trial Is the first proceedings
In tho esse since the Indictment was found.
Mr. Claiborne waa subjected to a rigid
cross-examination by the district at
torney, but his evidence was not shaken
In the least.
W. F. Ourley, the attorney for the de
fense In the trial of 3. Albert Davta, said
C'.alborno had no interest In the case. His
reputation for veracity waa good.
Saunters Won't Hear Witness.
E. Rosewater testified as to Claiborne's
reputation for truth and veracity. When
asked If at the time the first Indictment
was drawn against Claiborne it he (Mr.
Rosewater) was not In Washington, May,
' the witness waa about to answer,
when the district attorney objected. The
question also waa asked of the witness If
the relation between himself and Mr. Sum
mers were not somewhat strained. -.The

WIND DRIVES OUT BRIDGE
Refasea to Be Conanered Even by
Dynamite Exploded as Kmer
geney Method.
Even generous doses of dynamite were
not of sufficient force to offset the violence
of the wind of Wednesday right, so far as
the controlling of tho ice In the river at
the Whitney bridge at VaKey was con
cerned, and the result was that in spite ot
the combined efforts of a force of men and
the use of considerable explosive, one span
of the bridge war carried away and the
whole structure placed In Imminent danger
of floating off. The bridge was eighty-one
spans, Is something over a half mile long
and cost last year 813,600.
The formation of the Ice In all the waters
hereabouts this year la said to be very pe
culiar and unusually trying to any struc
ture with which It may come In contact
owing to the fact that there are two layers
or thicknesses of tee, one on top of the
other, which give the floating cakes double
the battering force that they ordinarily
have. The scheme Is now contemplated
of taking half a dosen more of the spans
out of the bridge at Valley and thus form
ing a channel through which the Ice may
be allowed to run without damage. This
would of course render the bridge unfit for
use while the Ice Is running, but It Is said
that It Is practically so now owing to the
span which has been carried away and
which cannot be replaced until tha water
Is free of Ice. '

TEMPERANCE AND LONG LIFE
Derided Advantage In Years for the
Man Who Shies at
Boose.
Once upon a time to be exact, In 1840
an Englishman,, who was known ss a
crank because he was a teetotaler, applied
for a life Insurance policy from a London
company. He thought that because of his
abstinence from liquor be ought to be given
a reduced premium rate. Instead, the com
pany attempted to charge him an extra
premium. It regarded him as a poor risk
because he did not take a little wine for his
stomach's sake.
The outcome was that the Englishman
In his wrath founded a new life Insurance

and General Provident Institution. This
company offered special advantages to tee
totalers, and while It also Insured moderate
drinkers It kept the two classes of policy
holders sharply separate from one another.
The officials of the company have steadily
Insisted that their experience Justified the
statemsnt that the teetotalers had better
chances for long life than the moderate
drinkers, but many life Insurance experts
have doubted the truth of the assertion.
Now, however, the actuary of the company
has made an exhaustive ntudv of the facts,
with results so convincing that even un
friendly experts cannot gainsay them.
The cases he examined were those of
"whole-life" assurers,' the number being
28,000 abstainers and 82,000 nonabstalners.
For nonabstalners the "expectation of life"
Is shown to-be practically Identical with
that, at corresponding ages, as shown by
the latest mortality tables based on the
combined experience of the British life
companies. For the' abstainers, however.
there Is shown an expectation that Is sub
stantially 10 per cent better throughout the
working years of life.1
