Hugel had been stepping back slowly
and finally backed through the folding
doors that opened into a restaurant ad
joining. Once in the restaurant Hugel
shouted for help. The thief was fright
ened away, and no one pursued him.
Because of the alarm given by Hugel
the. highwayman failed to take with him
two sacks of coin and a cigar box in
which was a fat purse of gold.
KESWICK, Oct. 23.— A lone robber raid
ed John Miller's saloon at 1 o'clock this
morning and got only $11 for his trouble,
when, it was possible for him to have
stolen half aa many hundreds. It was the
coolness and thoughtfulness of the bar
keeper, Eugene Hugel, that frustrated
the robber. Only three patrons were ln
the saloon when the highwayman, with
his face masked by a handkerchief, ap
peared at the front door and told them
to hold up their hands. A cocked revolver
emphasized the command and brought
prompt compliance. Barkeper Hugel
was in the center of the room." He was
told to step back and keep his hands off.
The robber went behind the bar and made
a clean-uj) of the cash register, which
contained but $11 in silver. He then be
gan a search under the bar for sacks of
coin belonging to the gambling games
that had closed an hour before. ' ;

ACQUIRES RIGHTS- FOR CITY.
This Is not the first occasion on which
C. F. Charles, the courageous express
messenger, has proved that he Is wortny
of the trust which the Wells-Fargo Com
pany has reposed in him. Nine years ago
near Ceres, in Stanislaus County, Charles
bravely fought a gang of train robbers
who were attempting to rob the baggage
car of which he was in charge. "With \V ai
lace Reed, another Wells-Fargo messen
ger, he withstood the attack of the rob
bers, who were believed to have been the
Evans and Sontag gang, as those des
perate outlaws were at that time terror
izing that portion of the State. For his
valiant defense of the property intrustec
to his care Wells-Fargo Company pre
sented him with a handsome gold watch.
When the Grant Wheeler band pf out
laws was Infesting Arizona and PlunafJ;
ing the citizens of that State, Charles
was. sent by the Wells-Fargo Company
as a shotgun messenger to protect me
company's property. . o „ ,,.
The express messenger who has so sis
nally distinguished himself for his hero
ism is a young man, not more than w
years of age. He is not acquainted witn
the meaning of the word "fear, and he
has frequently told his friends, in rnodest
depreciation of his own bravery, that It
does not cost him any effort to fight train
robbers. He is genial, yet modest and re
tiring in his disposition. - .
Immediately after the receipt here of
the news of the robbery General Manager
Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific Com
pany telegraphed instructions to the north,
to run down the robbers at any cost.
Mr. Kruttschnitt also made a formal
announcement that a reward of $250 would
be paid for the arrest of each of the rob
bers. The company is determined to use
every possible means to bring the men to
justice, and, with that end in view, it has
engaged all the detective agencies ln the
north, including those of the Pinkertons,
to join in the man-hunt. Detectives have
already joined with the posses sent to the
scene of the robbery from Eugene and
Roseburg, Or.

The cortege passed through the streets
decorated with blue bunting and under
arches. of the same color relieved by fes
tcons of evergreen. The entrance to the
university campus was through Phelps
gateway, with its orange-hued decora
tions and. special inscriptions of welcome
to the President. The President was con
ducted to Battell Chapel and after a brief
rest there was escorted to his place in
the academic procession of learned doc
tors, masters of arts, distinguished guests
of the university and graduates. 'Thero
were thousands ln the line, all dressed in
academic gowns, many of which wero
faced with colors indicative of their wear
ers' degrees. \u25a0 y
President Roosevelt and President Had
ley entered the theater at 10:30 a. m. The
President of the United States was led by
the university's president to the seat of
honor directly behind the orator's desk.
President Hadley took his seat beside
him. On this platform were Joseph H.
Choate, John Hay, Richard Olney, Chief
Justice Melville W. Fuller and Justice,
Brewer of- the United States \u25a0 Supreme
Court; Presidents Eliot of Harvard, Pat

Admiral Sampson, in ill
health, did not enter the procession. He
made his way to his place through a side
door and leaning. on the arm of Professor
W.'W. Farnam was' shown to his seat.
The set programme was carried out
with precision. After the overture the
commemorative poem composed - by Ed
mund Clarence Stedman was read. Next
was rendered the Greek festival hymn,
written by Professor Thomas D. Goodcll
of Yale and sung to music written by Pro
fessor Parker, the conductor. A student

cises. With \u25a0 the dedication- of another
hall and a farewell reception by the presi
dent of the university, the bicentennial
of Yale closes.
President Roosevelt and party arrived
at 9:30 o'clock. At Parmington a consid
erable company had gathered to bid him
gocd-by. There were many people at the
stations along the way and cheering was
heard as the President's train rushed
through. In addition to the regular party
the President was accompanied on the
trip by Governor McLean, Commander
and Mrs. Cowles, Miss Alice Roosevelt,
his daughter; Miss Helen Roosevelt, his
niece, and Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting of
New York.
The crowd at the station here was a
big one and demonstrative ln its welcome
to the President. President Hadley of
Yale and Mayor John P. Studley were on
hand to receive the distinguished guest,
and after an exchange of greetings briefly
the ride toward the university campus
was begun by way of State and Chapel
streets. The escort Included a representa
tion of the naval and military forces of
the State. In the carriage with President
Roosevelt were the President of Yale, the
Governor of Connecticut and the Mayor
of- New Haven. The next carriage con
tained Colonel Theodore A. Blngham. U.

"President Hadley, I have never yet
worked at a task worth doing, that I did
not find myself working shoulder to shoul
der with some son of Yale. I have never
yet been ln a struggle for righteousness
and decency that there were not men of
Yale to aid me and give me strength and
courage. As we walked hither this morn
ing we passed by -a gateway which wan
raised to the memory of a young Yale lad
who was hurt to > death beside me as he
and a great many others like us marched
against the gunfire of; the heights, and
with those memories quick in my mind I
thank you from my , heart for the honor
you have done me and I thank you dou
bly,-for you planned to do me that honor
while I was yet 'a private citizen"
The hymn, , "America," was then sung
and the audience dispersed. Following is
a list or the honorary degrees conferred
in the order ln which. the candidates were
presented: ... . . .
DOCTORS OF LAWS
In an Instant the great audir .« was
standing. The President of th«. United
States also arose and the theater rang
with cheers. The air was filled with wav
ing handkerchiefs and programmes. Re
marking that Yale had chosen for the de
gree this candidate before he became Pres
ident Hadley announced that all Yale men
were now doubly honored by greeting tho
man and the President as a son of Tale.
Specially addressing President Roosevelt.
President Hadley spoke as follows:
"Theodore Roosevelt, while you were
yet a private citizen we offered you most
worthily the degree of LL. D.. Since in
his providence it has pleased God to give
Theodore Roosevelt another title, we give
him on that account a double portion of
welcome. He is a Harvard man by nur
ture, but we are proud to think that ln his
democratic spirit, his broad national sym
pathies and above all his clearness and
purity and truth, he will be glad to be an
adopted son of Yale." . , •
President Roosevelt advanced, bowed
profoundly and tried to speak. Again the
audience cheered and it was fully a min
ute before he was allowed to proceed. He
.said:
or. David Joslah Brewer, LL. D., Justice
of the United States Supreme Court, de
livered the commemorative address. Jus
tice Brewer was given a tremendous ova
tion. Early in his address Justice Brewer
elicited hearty applause when he referred
to Yale aa a place "where men are taught
to recognize a Washington, whether. his
name is George or Booker."
The presentation of candidates for hon
orary degrees followed the commemora
tive address and the function occupied
about one hour. President Hadley was
extraordinarily felicitous in the delicate
compliments he conveyed to the distin
guished candidates. Secretary John Hay,
Joseph H. Choate, Chief Justice Fuller,
Archbishop Ireland, Mark Twain,. Seth
Low and Rear Admiral Sampson received
tremendous ovations. The foreigners who
were honored with degrees were received
with great enthusiasm. ;;. '
When the long list had been finished
President Hadley advanced a step or two
and with great Impresslveness said:
. "There yet remains one name."

GENERALS SAY,
The reception was held ln the great din
ing hall, or commons, owned by the Uni
versity . Corporation. The building Is one
of the new bicentennial structures. Presi
dent Roosevelt and Dr. and Mrs. • Hadley
stood upon a small raised platform mid
way to one side of the hall. Commander
and Mrs.' Cowles and . Private Secretary
Cortelyou stood to the rear of the receiv
ing party. Close at hand were secret Berv
lce officers, ushers and policeman and
those in charge of the ceremonies. The
purpose was to admit only those. wearing
badges. These numbered several thou
sand and; a great number of the general
uninvited public managed also to gain en
trance. • -\u25a0 ' \u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0
Particularly noticeable was the extreme
caution not only of the officers but of
those having the affair. ln charge for the
adequate protection of the 1 President.
The most unique and original feature of
the reception was the fact. that there was
no handshaking. The suggestion to elim
inate this old-time custom originated with
President and Mrs. Hadley and was read
ily adopted by the President, after con
sultation with Secretary Cortelyou.
Light refreshments .were served at the
side hall opposite the official party.
• It is estimated that*500 persons attended
the reception. At Its conclusion the Presi
dent returned , 'to the Farnum residence
where dinner was served at 7:30. Amoni*

"The first intimation I had of anything
wrong," said C. F. Charles, the expre33
messenger, "was when the train began
to slow up near "Walker station. It was
a quarter to 3, as near as I remember.
Shortly after the train .came to a stand
still I was ordered to open the door. I
refused to move. I was threatened with
all sorts of things. 'Open up this car or
we will blow you to ,' commanded one
ol the robbers. I made no response and
was given a salute with dynamite. The
first charge blew open one of the doors
and knocked me down.., My overalls were
blown into shreds and my legs scratched
somewhat, but otherwise I was unhurt.
Further commands to open, and threats
followed, but without avail. I made no
i eply, knowing that the object of the
robbers was to locate me in the car and
then try : to put me . out of the way,
either with dynamite or bullets. •• \u25a0\u25a0 I
changed my station to the other end of
the car.
"A second shot blew open the door at
tho other end of the car. The third shot
failed to go off, as I had removed .toy
shoes and quietly walked over to the
dynamite and detached the fuse. Two
more shots exploded, each of- them blow-
Ing a hole into the floor of the car. All
told, four sticks of dynamite went oft ln
the car, two failed to explode, and one I
prevented exploding by removing -. the
luse. .
"All efforts to compel me to open up or
leave the car falling, the engineer was
sent in through the opening blown in the
side. I ordered him to get out and fired
a shot over his head- with a shotgun.
The entire ceremony lasted about forty
minutes. The ' engineer retired after I

The postal Inspector has a description
of two men who may be the ones. "im
plicated in the hold-up. It is known that
iast night two men beat their way on the
southbound overland, No. 15, by blind
baggage and left the train at Cottage
Grove.
"The mall clerk was covered by the
iobber while I was compelled to open lh"e
mail sacks. After the mail was dumped
out the robber sorted It and had the mes
senger hold the eack while he took what
he wanted. But one sack of registered
mail was taken. The robber also helped
himself to the messenger's lunch. This
ended the work of the robber.
"I was taken back with him to the en
gine and commanded to take him to a
point about a mile from Eugene. He told
me to stop as soon as the lights of the
city could be seen, when he jumped off
and disappeared ln the darkness in the
direction of the river. When leaving he
told me to go in any direction I desired
except toward Eugene."
Postal Inspector Ball, who was on the
train on his way home from San Fran
cisco, obtained a list of the pouches
which were rifled by the two men. Four
through registered pouches were taken
by the robbers. After being silt open
and the contents taken they were thrown
down. These pouches were all from San
Francisco and were being sent to Spo
kane, Seattle, Tacoma and Victoria, B. C.
One through pouch, which was partially
hidden behind a box, was overlooked.
Nearly everything in the four pouches
which were rifled was taken away by the
men, only a few articles being left" be

the attack on the express car and turned
his attention to the baggage car. I was
compelled to enter the baggage car and
command the baggage man to give up.
Assuring the robber that there was noth
ing of value in this car, it was also aban
doned and the mail car was taken ln
hand.
Lake' Tahoe is to be considered capable of
yielding about 60,000,000 gallons of water per
day. without apparent damage to users of water
from Truckee River. In making any considerable
diversion in excess of this amount it must be
anticipated that some Interference with vested
rights will be claimed and that the city would
be liable for damage actually resulting there
from. -.- \
From North Yuba River at Alabama Bar,
in combination with the large storage facilities
at the Oregon House reservoir site, without
recourse to any portion of - the river's low
water flow, upward of 60,000,000 gallons of
water per day can be obtained. Water from
the North Yuba. from a watershed with a
population of about 3000 should be considered
in too great danger of pollution to be used
without filtration. )
Supervisors to sell water properties or to
construct water works fOr the city as fol
lows:
Lake Tahoe and San Francisco Water Works,
Marysville and Nevada Water Company, Jay
B. Russell (American River). M. C. Taylor
(Tuba River) William Stuart & Co. (Middle
fork of American River). Kel River and Rus
sian River Water Works, D. E. Gish & Co.
(artesian), Jersey City AVater Supply Company,
Spring Valley Water Works (offer to arbitrate).
E. G. Wheeler and associates (Coyote Valley).
T. J. Patterson (Stanislaus River), Dumbarton
Land and Improvement Company. Grant Gap
Water Company (north fork of American
River).
The estimates of cost for four of the
supplies are given as follows:
North fork of Tuba River project, to effect
delivery to city. $38,608,300; add for distributing
system $7,000,COO; total, $45,608,300.
1 Lake Tahoe project. 60,0)0,000 gallons per day
to be delivered and including distributing sys
tem. $46,400,900. .
Tuolumne River project, $33,206,200.
Stanislaus River project, $40,836,200.
The appraisement of the Spring Valley
system, excluding properties not at pres
ent in actual use, is fixed at $23,204,265.
What the Investigation Cost.
' The appropriation of $30,000 for the water
supply investigation was expended' as fol
lows, a balance of $46 32 being left:
Supervisors' trip to Lake Tahoe and Tuba
River, $792 85; publication "The law and the
facts," $118; salaries and wages, $17,013 93;
materials and supplies. $2343 IS; reconnoissance
and incidentals, $5936 78; expert services, $3CO0;
bacteriological examinations, $728 34; total,
$29,933 68.
The following are some of the important
conclusions noted in the report:
It Is desirable that the combined sources of
water supply for this city should be capable
of yielding ultimately at least 120,000,000 gal
lons per day, and that any source of supply
now to be utilized or an extension of the es
tablished system should place at least 60,000,000
gallons of water per- day at the disposal of
the city, and that the capacltyof water worka
should be such as to deliver this amount of
water to the city at the outset. Any new
source to be combined with the established sys
tem should be capable of yielding at least
30,000.000 gallons per day and a possible expan
sion to 90,000,000 gallons is desirable. The
population forecast indicates 1.000,000 inhabit
ants in about the year 19S0. with no probability
that this number, under favorable conditions of
growth, could be reached before 1363. \u25a0
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.— Admiral
Schley is expected to take the witness
stand ln the naval court of inquirj\ which
is investigating his conduct in the Span
ish War, some time during the day or
to-morrow. This announcement is justi
fied by the progress made to-day in tin
examination of witnesses called to tes
tify in the admiral"s behalf.
Eight witnesses were heard to-day, an<l
there are only three more names on the
list preceding the name of the admiral
himself. Of these tnrte only *Captain
Clark of the Oregon is expected to testify
at any length. It Is not probable that the
idmiral will be called before the after
noon session, lie will be the last of th-*
witnesses to be neard in support of h'i
side of the controversy. It Is now con
sidered probable that he will be on the
stand for two or three days.
It is not yet possible to say whether
any witnesses will be called in rebuttal
ay the court, but it seems probable that a
.'ew persons may be summoned for this
purpose. The testimony to-day led Judge
Advocate Leraly and Hanna to decide
upon the calling of at least one rebutting
witness If he can be found. This is Sylves
ter Bcoyel, whose testimony is desired In
connection with the incident of the meet

ter was off Santiago in May, 1S9S.
The first of to-day's new witnesses,
James H. Hare, photographer on the
press boat, stated that Captain Sigsbee
of the St. Paui had told the correspond
ents on board the Smith on May- £ti an.i
27 that Cervera's fleet was not inside th»
harbor at Santiago. Scovel was among
the correspondents on the Smith, and if
he can be found he will be asked to come
to "Washington and give his testimony on
this incident. It is also probable that an
effort will be made to rebut other por
tions of the testimony given in Admiral
Schley's behalf, including Lieutenant
tears' denials of a conversation concern
ing Admiral Schley, which the lieutenant
is alleged to have taken part in on board
the Massachusetts on May 3L
Other witnesses in addition to Hare who
testified to-day were Chief Boatswain
Anlliam L. Hill, Gunner P. T. Applegate
and Major Paul St. C. Murphy of the
marines, all of whom were aboard the
Brooklyn during the Cuban campaign-
Lieutenant Commander Harlow, who as
executive officer of the Vixen made notes
of the battle of- July 3, and three officer
of the Oregon. Lieutenant A. A. Acker
man, Lieutenant E. W. Eberle and Lieu
tenant R. G. Johnstone. Lieutenant Ack
ennan had charge of the after 13-inch tur
ret and Lieutenant Eberle of the forward
13-inch turret en the Oregon on July 3
and Lieutenant Johns-tone was signal ofli
eer on the Oregon at that time.
Johnstone testified that he did not re
ceive any signal from the Brooklyn to
tire 13-inch guns at the Spanish ship Cris

SSifVJi 4 ! powde " for ca tarrti is a nuis-
ance and inconvenience at the beat and
cannot compare with antiseptic remedies

Internal Vexnedlea are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the

plications can no more cure catarrh thnn
rheumatism or kidney trouble, the exces-
sive secretion in nose and throat belne lo-
cal manifestations of a deep seated poison
in the n'ood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the most sue-
cessful of the various internal remedies
Is composed principally of highly con-
cpntrated antiseptics, which destroy the
catarrh germs in the blood and cuse
them to be eliminated through the natural
channels.
Progressive physicians use and advise
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because they
contain no cocaine, no opiate, no enervat-
ing drus whatever, but are composed- of
G-uaiacoT, Hydrastin, Red: Gum and simi-
lar catarrh antiseptics, and are so 6afe
and pleasant that even little children may
use them with excellent results.
Catarrh sufferers who have wasted time
and money on local applications should
not despair of a radical cure until a trial
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets has been
trade.
A complete treatment may be purchased
mX any druf store for fifty cents.' *;- ;;
