gard to the recent yellow

South:
The suspicion is growing
that DR.. Guiteras, the

clared that she had a case of

would pronounce him a

ST. PAUL CONCERN GETS 1T.
American Development Company
Will Furnish Chicago's Gasoline

The American Development COM
rany, ST. Paul, of which President
Maurice Auerbach, of the Union bank,
is the head, has secured the contract
for the gasoline lighting Of the city of
Chicago. and has now On it's books
similar contracts with st. Paul, Mil
Waukee, Omaha and Des Moines The
capturing of the Chicago contract by
the ST. Paul concern proved to be a
cause for rejoicing not only on the
part of the company, but as we'll by
the citizens of Chicago, as the city has
for some time been included in ter
ritory which has been divided by two
immense concerns who held up the
figures. The contract which calls for
10,700 gasoline lamps is for $228000, and
holds for two years, Beginning Oct 1.
By it the city of Chicago will save in
the two years exactly $4,000
For seven years the Chicago con-
tract has been held by the Globe Light
and Heat company, of Philadelphia.
Last year the contract price was SIS
per lamp. This year three bids were
submitted, one by the company men,
toned, a second by the Sun Light and
Vapor company, of Canton, and the
third by the ST. Paul concern. The
bid of the last named company was
S1l.4S per lamp per annum. The Comp
troller of Chicago announced his de-
termination to break the monopoly,
and the lower figures were the result,
and the contract is already signed. G..
A. Pettingill, the secretary of the inn
provement company, who has been for
ten years superintendent Of titles and

broadm1nded statesmen the century
prought forth, while, at the same time
It's material resources have been de,
veloped to an astonishing degree.
Though kingdom, Norway has a
free constitution, given at Eidsyold in
1914. This constitution, in a good many
respects, resembles that of the United
states. 1t aims to further the best
interests of the people, to- make as
many as possible happy and contented
in their old fatherland. The constitu-
ton has been slightly altered and
amended at different times since the
grandfather of King Oscar. Charles
XIV, who was the founder of the Ber-
nadotte dynasty, took possession OF
the throne after the union with Swed-
en- had been conSummated. All uues.
tions pertaining to amending this
fundamental law, however, have been
peacefully adjusted, and seldom, if
ever, has the king been dragged into
party Emergencies. There can be no
doubt that the union with Sweden has
tended to build up the best interests
of both countries. They have both
been greatly benefited by it, and it is
the earnest desire of all legal citizens,
in Norway as in Sweden, that the two
nations should be allowed to thrive
and prosper in the future, as in the
past, bound together in a strong king
in times of war, as in times of peace.
King Oscar is a man of extraordinary
gifts and talents. He is, in fact, con-
sidered to be one of the most able
monarchs in Europe. His education
and learning ranks probably far above
any Of the other kings on the continent.
1t has been this monarchs enviable
fortune also to receive from the hands
of nature high attainments as lyric
and an author. By his writings, which
have been translated into different for
eign languages, he has gained for him
self a reputation as a poet of high
standing.
AS a diplomatist, King Oscar stands
III the foremost ranks. He has often
been called upon to act as arbitrator in
disputes of grave interest to other ma
tions. The kings fairness and sincerity
of purpose is respected by ALL The
queen, Sophia, was Princess of Nassau,
Germany.

1t Illustrates the Prosperity Norway
and Sweden Are Enjoying.
Yesterday at Christiania was
celebrated the twenty-ffth anniversary
of King Oscar as Norway's sovereign.
Thousands of people gathered in old
"Osto' to pay their respects to the
king. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Norseman is of a self-reliant and
independent character, he has always
been loyal and true to his king, which
is evident from the country's history as
far back as we have any record. The
Olofs and the Haakons of old times
had their struggle and their difficult
ties to contend with before they gained
the love and respect of the people. 1t
has been the case with other rulers of
more recent date, but when they had
proved their honest intention of fur
thering the good of the country, they
never ceased to have a good friend in
the Norwegian peasant, the Norwegian
mechanic, and the Norwegian merchant
In time of war as in time Of peace the
king knew that he had the unqualified
support of them all as long as he him
self did the right thing, and stood up
for the country's rights and privileges.
King Oscar became sovereign of the
Norwegian kingdom by the death Of
his brother, King Charles XIV, Sept. 18,
1872. and was coronated in the old his
toric dome at Trondhjem July 49, the
following year.
Though spotted with political strifes
which at times have been of a rather
serious nature it can be safely said
that never in the history of Norway
has that country experienced a period
of greater prosperity, material as well
as intellectual, as is marked by this
quarter of a century's reign of King
Oscar H. In art, literature and science
it has developed in the last two score
of years to be one of the foremost
countries on earth. Men as Ibsen.
Bjornson, Nansen and others have at
tained worldwide renown, and the
Norwegian people can in this same
period boast Of some of the most

The indications are that at the next
meeting of the board of pardons, Oct.

ber of petitions for executive clemency.
Several of these applications have al
ready been received by the governor,
and are carefully filed away to await
the action of the board ~

mutation of their sentences which
would entitle them to paroles.

committed. Van Hise gave way to
liquor again, and went on a protracted
spree in West Chester. In spite OF
the efforts and pleading of his wife
and good old father and mother, as
we'll as number of loyal friends, Van
Hise persisted in a reign of terror in
West Chester. Besides attending to
his farm he had been doing odd jobs
at harness making in the shop OF
Black & Clawson, in West Chester,
from the time he returned home until
he went on the drunk that led to mur-
der, and the death of his aged mother
from grief.
On Wednesday night, June IS, Van
Hise- staggered into the harness shop
about o'clock and began to amuse
himself by shooting at a clock and
other articles of furniture about the
place. w. t. Cutler resident of the
town, who had reached the age of sew
enty years heard the racket while hob
bling along the street and went into
the shop to try and pacify Van Hfse
This enraged the drunken man, and
turning upon Cutler in towering pas
sion Van HiSe struck the old man on
the forehead with the butt of his re-
Volver. The blow felled the victim to
the floor and rendered him unconscious
He fingered in this condition until he
died two days afterwards without ever
regaining his senses. The blow which
Van Hise struck him had fractured the
old mans skull.
The murder created a great sensa-
ton. When the news of the crime
reached the parents of Van Hise, they
were Frustrated. Mrs. Van Hise swoon-
ed away and died thirty-six hours aft
! erWardS without ever fully recovering
consciousness. The father bore his
| great sorrow with greater fortitude,
however, and although he has never
been himself since the homicide he is
! still alive. Van Hise's wife took her
| children to the home of her parents
where she has since lived.
Van Hise escaped after the murder
and disappeared entirely. Every effort
! was made to locate him. but in vain
| until about the time he was sent to the
| Oregon penitentiary. While he was in
! jail at Portland he wrote a letter to
! his wife which was intercepted by the
| authorities. In the meantime Van
| Hise under the name of Hiser, was
committed to the Salem prison. The
authorities at West Chester secured ex-
| tradition papers, and then Deputy
Sheriff Bruck started on his long jour
ney across the continent to take the
/ murderer back. There was some
trouble in Oregon about inducing the
! officials there to give Van Hise up, but
after While the prisoner was deliver
ed to Deputy Bruck by the warden of
the penitentiary at Salem upon an or
der from the governor of the state
Thus far the return trip with the
prisoner has been made without Incl
dent, although it has been very try
ing on both the deputy sheriff and the
prisoner on account of it's length. The
officer told a G l o b e reporter at the
union depot last night just before he
left the city with Van Hise, that his
prisoner had confessed to the killing of
! Cutler at the penitentiary at Salem.
and on that occasion Van Hise had
said he expected to be hanged for the
! crime. He has already been indicted
for the homicide and his trial will take

Forum, but in narrow court not more than
40 feet square bemmed in by the surrounding
buildings. On the south was the Basilica
Ulpia, on the east and west libraries, and
on the north an open colonnade leading to
Trajan's temple.
The column rises to the, hight of 124 feet
from the pavement to the foot of the statue,
the diameter at the baseSis ab0at 10 feet and
a little less in the upper part. 1t springs from
a quadrangular pedestal eighteen feet in
height, whose solidity enhances the grace of
the shaft Three sides of this pedestal are
ornamented with bas-reiefs representing
Roman and Dacian armor of various kinds;
coats of mail helmets, short swords, axes,
bows, shields, lances, trumpets, Dacian
dragon. banners, all zthrowue together in
graceful confusion, on the fourth side is the
inscription born by two genii. tA
Immediately. above thespedestal are two
fiat stones, ornamented light garlands of oak
beak of eagle, eagle, we believe still
remains, upon these massive, blocks rests
round base carved to- represent closely
woven laurel wreath. The shaft rises from
of white marble. adorned with a series of
beautifully bas-reliefsia winding in a
graceful spiral to the very summit.
The cpaital is single ring of egg-shaped
ornaments with arrow heads between and a
simple border below. On PEDESTAL above
it stood, originally, as we have said, the
colossal bronze-gilt statue of Trajan. The
ancient winding staircase, hewn in the in
terror, in the solid block of marble and light
ed by narrow openings, still exists and can
be ascended with safety.
The magnificent wreath of bas-relefs, which
winds around the shaft, represents ia scenes

Trajan, the moving spirit in all these

being usually marked off from each other by

nounced the genius of his race. which would
have required idealized art; but he obeyed
that genius of Rome, which finds gratifca-
