Wonderful Wax Making,

Bees gorge themselves with honey,
then hang themselves up in festoons
or curtains to the hive, and remain
quiescent for hours; after time wax
scales appear, forced out from the wax
pockets. The bees remove these scales
with their natural forceps, carry the
wax to the mouth. and chew it for a
time, thus changing it chemically Thus
1t may be seen that wax-making is a
great expense to the colony, for it costs
not only the time of the workers. but
it is estimated that twenty-one pounds
of honey are required to make one
pound Of wax.

While You Rest

Do little thinking about
the cost of gas lighting and
cooking. With gas at $1.60
per thousand, you get 81 feet
for one cent. You can get 81
candle power for five feet of
gas properly burned in a good
burner. This makes you Il
first-class light of "a candle
power for five siNths cents per
hour, or light equal to an
average electric light for
about cent per hour. Again,
take an improved Welsback
burner, consumes 3 feet per
hour, gives so candle power.
Just think, an 80 candle pow
err light for cent per hour,
Ponder this over. 1t is the
cheapest artificial lighting
agent known. If you are not
convinced, call at the Gas Of
flee, 2713 Washington avenue,
and we will prove it to you. .
AS to cooking, gas at 81 per
thousand is not half as eN-
pensive as coal at $3.50 per
ton, or wood even at the pres
line are not to be mentioned
in the same week as gas for
cooking, and then the comfort,
cleanliness and efficiency. Call
at the Gas Office at your con
venience and we will take
pleasure in showing you the
benefits. Come whether YOU

Il must add that Commander j. H.

the very greatest reluctance, believing
he would retain his command under all

vinced finally that the attempt of an
other person to carry out the multitude

4 Nine Year-0Id Girl Outraged and
Then Murdered.
Her Body Found in a Lumber Yard Terribly
hutilated.
"A Man Under Arrest Suspected OF
the Crime-A Lynching Likely
to Follow-The Family Until
Recently Residents of Oakland.

BUTTE (Mont.), June 11.-Ethel Gill,
aged 9 years, disappeared from her
home on South Ohio street on Thurs
day evening. This morning her dead
body was found in an clubhouse several
blocks from the residence of her par
ents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Gill, the par
ents of the child, arrived here about
two months ago from Oakland, Cal.
They rented a cabin in the rear of 322S
South Ohio street. On Thursday even
ing the child was playing with some
other little ones near the Northern Pa
cific depot, not far from the child $
home. Since then nothing was seen of
her until this morning, when female
neighbor went to the clubhouse and saw
what seemed to her to be body. She
notified some men in an adjoining lum-
ber yard, who went in and secured the
body. 1t was that of the missing child.
The clothing was torn and disar-
ranged, and there were other evidences
that an outrage had been perpetrated.
Discolorations of the neck indicated
strangulation, and there was a mark
on the left temple as if made by some
blunt instrument
The police think they have the man
who committed the crime. He was ar
rested about an hour after the girls
absence was noted. The police wanted
him on suspicion of burglary. They
found him in the lumber yard, not fifty
feet from the outraged girl. There
We're bloodstains on his clothes, and
when questioned about them he could
give no satisfactory answer. When to-
days discovery was made the police
thought of this circumstance. Since
then witnesses have been found who
will swear that they saw the man and
the child together on the evening of
her disappearance, and shortly before
his arrest. The man gave his name as
Charles Smith, but is also known to the
police as Higgins.
When the girls body was found to-
day and he was suspected of that crime
too, the police started to put him
through the sweating process. They
made him account for his actions and
movements on the evening of the girls
disappearance and his own arrest He
did not do this in a very satisfactory
way. Then he was taken to the under
takers place where the body was being
prepared for burial and made to look
upon the body. He stood the test man.
fully. He is man about 2S years of
age.
The theory of the police is that the
girl had gone into the clubhouse, and
that the man followed her and accom-
plished his purpose 1t is said that she
was seen talking to a man answering
the description of the prisoner a short
time before Q o'clock on Thursday
night.
The girl was of slender build. and
very beautiful. She was an only child.
She was horribly mutilated.
The inquest will take place on Tues
day. Should the absolute proof OF any
ones guilt be obtained, there will
doubtless be a lynching
