WILL SEND HER EAST
LILA Duff to Start for New York
TODAY

Lila Duff, the 16-year-old girl who left
the home of her uncle, will leave this morn
Ing over the Santa Fe route for her former
residence at Peach Hill, N. Y. The girl
claimed that her uncle had not been kind
to her, so she left and went to work for a
woman on South Main street. The uncle
tried to locate Lila, and only after three
weeks search did he discover her In the
cigar stand at 219 West Fourth street. on
Thursday, getting her mail. He detained
the girl until officer Lehnhausen arrived
and took her into custody.
As the girl evidently did not care to re-
main with her relative here. he very gen.
erously provided her with transportation
to the east. Chief Glass does not think
that the uncle was unkind to the girl, but
she simply did not care to remain at his
home any longer.

Seeking a Waiter With a $500 Bill

A waiter with a $500 bill is being sought
by the police and private detectives and
in the meantime e. d. M. Rowland of New
York is mourning the loss of the big
greenback and surplus stock of conf
dence In human nature. Mr. Rowland.
who is guest at the Auditorium annex.
says he gave the bill to Fred Keller, a
waiter at the Grand Pacific hotel, to have
changed in payment for a luncheon for
three. The waiter, 1t is alleged, pocketed
the bill and left the hotel.
Albert Glennie. one of the owners of the
Grand Pacific hotel, said:
1--WE don't have our walters under bond.
and financial responsibility is not what we
ask for when we hire them. In fact, the
average waiter is ON the make as a mat
ter of course. Five hundreds is a large
sum to offer In payment for a $40 check.
We put detectives on the walters track
and reported the matter to the central
police and the man will probably be caught.
He may not be able to get the bill
changed"
Mr. Rowland believes the house to be re-
sponsible for hts loss and has employed
an attorney. Keller worked at the hotel
only three days.-Chicago Paper.

THE sPANIARDs' WIRE FENCES
They Are Hard to See and Harder to
DESTROY

Capt. Cavanaugh of the Thirteenth
city recuperatlng from a wound received
in the famous charge of the Thirteenth
before Santiago. says that the defenses of
Santiago are far stronger than the reports
would lead one to believe. The barbed
wire fences, he says. form one of the most
efficient barriers 1t is possible to conceive.
The posts, according to the captain, are
usually set where they are covered by a
dense growth of green foliage. They stand
about five feet above the ground and are
twenty-five feet apart. Into each post two
iron bars are driven at right angles to each
other. and the ends are left projecting
about four inches on either side. Then, in
stead Of fastening the wire firmly to the
post, which would give an opportunity to
cut 1t with nippers or axes, the wire Is
Topped loosely around the irons and strung
from post to post in strands so numerous
that sort of network is formed, which 1t is
almost impossible to penetrate. The loose
wires give no backing for blow from Ii
ak. and the number Of strands In the trocha
makes It an hours work TO cut through
with nippers.
The posts used In these fences or trochas
are made from the plant palmetto cut
green and planted with the foliage still on
them. This serves effectually to conceal the
attachment Of the wire. Various methods
were tried to remove these posts, but 1t waa
found that burning was too slow process
and that 1t was next to impossible to break
them off, because Of their toughness and
elasticity. The only recourse was to chop
them down, and, as they are always set UP

Juan. On the morning of the fight the gen.

some argument. managed to get him into
an ambulance, and in this, sorely against
his will, for he wanted to be astride Of hts
horse, he started to the front. A half-mile
Of ambulance riding was enough, and then
came loud calls for Gen. Whaeler's horse.
In little time the old soldier was riding

LEGATION, but 1t is a fact that on the night
after our men had swept so gloriously up
the San Juan hill, feeling pervaded the
American army that we had In many re-
spects grabbed a bear by the tail We
might hold on to the undoing OF the bear,
and our grasp might loosen TO our own de-
struction. This feeling was so strong that
some of the leading officers in the army
went to GeneralWheeler and proposed that
he fall back from the position we had cap
tured. In other words, we should abandon
all we had gained at such fearful cost
and assume the position we had taken be-
fore the battle The men who made this
proposition were no weaklngs. They had
demonstrated their courage a hundred
times, and never more brilliantly than on
that very day. but the fury of the fight was
over for them-the moral side OF the SOL
der was called for, and they were not
wanting. General Wheeler listened to
them and said:

we would not If we could. If we cannot

THE NEW COURT HOUSE
Ready for Furniture and Occupants
The Lyle Greek Scrap

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. R.-The
great hone of contention that In times past
disrupted the county and caused the setting
off Of Riverside as an independent county
was the new court house that 1t was de-
termined to build. The old building had
been in use quarter OF century ana was
very inadequate to the demands made upon
1t. especially after the establishment OF
second department to the superior court.
An attempt was made to vote bonds for its
construction, but owing mainly to the OPP
position of Riverside and that section these
were voted down, and the board OF supervi-
sors determined to go ahead and erect
magnificent building by direct taxation.
This was too much for Riverside, and the
subject Of county division was agitated ana
finally won after the new court house was
well under way. This work has been done
by special contract and has occupied the
attention Of different boards of supervisors
for many years. The amounts paid are as
follows: First contract, SCI, 50; second
contract, S39, 1850; third contract, IOO75;
fourth contract, $33S50; fifth contract. 49,
9s5; sixth contract, $2S, so. making total
to date Of $l92 1856 50. The last contract. just
completed, prepares the building ready fer
the furnishing and another contract will
be let for that portion Of the expense and
then the building will be ready for occu-
pancy. The last work done was for the
clustering flooring, wainscoting, etc The
floors are Of hard wood, except the hall
ways, which are in thing The VAIN
scoating is Of Vermont and Tennessee mar
Bile and is elegant and tasteful. The cell
ings are deliberately frescoed In beautiful
designs of great taste and variety OF pat
terms. There are eight rooms on each Of
the two floors, one court room on each, and
the most difficult work OF the whole Is now
before the board to decide which officers to
move into the building, for 1t is simply a
western extension to the old court house
and hall of records. The change of officers
will not be made until the beginning of the
new term probably, and as each officer will
demand a choice position. and half of them
must remain In the old quarters there is
considerable interest in the change

School Notes and Incidents.
The pupils and the teacher of
Room 8 were greatly disappointed
on Friday. the last day of the
school month, when two of the pu-
pills came in late thereby prevent
ing that room from capturing from
Room 8 the beautiful new satin
banner, the reward of punctuality.
Among the specimens in Pri-
mary Science work brought to
Room 3, have been live mouse
and salamander, the latter of
which was kept for number Of
days in a jar of sand. and fed upon
flies, collected by the children.
The 5th grade pupils are now
busy collecting seeds and leaves.
They are studying seeds and their
distribution. Many curious seeds
and leaves have been brought to
the room by the pupils. Two lm-
mense leaves; cotton wood 6
inches long and Z inches wide, and
willow 8 inches long and 2 inch
es wide are among the collection.
Among the caterpillars collected
by the 9th grade, % have survived.
The others have been killed by
kindness. OF the surviving %,
all but one, have gone into the
chrysalis state. This one has
been spinning for three weeks
ard has not yet succeeded in COW
ering his little fat body.
The composition work ofthe 9Th
grade has been especially interest
ing this mouth. The b class pu-
pills have written imaginary stories
on the subject, "a Trip to Naples"
aud the A class pupils wrote true
stories of their own lives.
Owing to the hearty cooperation
of parents this month, the tardy
list of End grade has greatly de-
creased.
Lafayette Day was appropriate
ly observed October nineteenth.
The children of End grade took
great pride in making their room
attractive for the occasion. 1t was
a pleasure to note the esgerness
with which the children brought
their pennies, nickles and dimes
to contribute to the Monument
Fund.
Rev. j. @. Horn entertained
the students of the High School
on Lafayette Day with very
pleasing and instructive address
on the life and character of the
man, in memory of whom the day
WAS observed.
The pupils of the 10th grade
have written historical papers
twice q month this year; and a
number Of their productions. have
been highly creditable.
Miss Zadie Pechil has returned
to her studies in the High School
after teaching a month for Miss
Ada Hutchinson, a former student
of the High School.
