A girl was visiting in town who has
a dress trimmed with four miles OF
lace, and her hostess is thinking of Civ
ing a reception for it.
woman who knows how easily the
men can be fooled tells everyone who
kisses her that it is the first time she

1t occurs to a man with some wonder
that Ills wife never got up as much
enthusiasm over him when she was a
bride as she gets up over the new little

When a woman doesn't know of

woman she says she has such 'cute

Every unhappy woman takes pleasure
in thinking of the time when he will
come back, and it will be too late.
A good many girls have the notion

highly mysterious case of burglary
was reported to the police last evening
in which Fred A. Bartlett and wife are
said to have lost $4,000 in cold hard cash
and two rings by burglars entering
their residence at 30S West Broadway
The burglar, according to accounts, en-
tered the house while Mr.. and Mrs.
Bartlett were temporarily absent. They
came home accompanied by friend,
found the burglar in the house, made
a rush upstairs for the family gun, but
the burglar got away with the money,
which he found between two mattresses
in Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett's sleeping
room. There was much excitement and
several shots were fired. which at
tracted the neighbors and drew two
policemen to the scene in very short
order, yet none of the neighbors saw
the burglar escape and the officers were
unable to find any trace Of him.
1t was just about half past s o'clock
that a series of shots ringing out on
the still air of Sunday evening aroused
the neighbors in that block bounded by
Broadway and Park, Idaho and Wash
ington streets. In a twinkling, the
neighbors, or a majority of them, We're
out of their houses. Those living i'm
mediately around the Bartlett residence
saw two men run excitedly out of the
yard in the rear of the Bartlett house,
into the alley running through from
Idaho to Washington, between Broad
way and Park street. They went west
toward Washington and shot or two
was fired as they ran.
Police officers Shea and McGlynn
We're block away on Park street when
the first shots were fired. Divining that
the shots came from the alley. they ran
with all speed in that direction. Officer
McGlynn made for the Idaho street
opening of the alley and got there in
time to see the two men going west.
He followed them and called them to
halt but they did not hear, or hearing,
did not heed. officer Shea headed for
the Washington street opening of the
alley and had speed enough to get there
just as the two men emerged into
Washington street. Throwing his gun
down on them he demanded them to
halt. supposing them to be burglars.

Mr.. Bartlett managed to explain he had

evening. At O'clock or a few minutes
before, all three went out to purchase

CLASH WAS INEVITABLE
The Insurgents Were Bound to
Have a Fight.
IT WAS BOUND TO COME
The Filipinos Were Spelling for Whip
ping and the American Troops
Were Prepared for the
Emergency.

Ex-Governor Richards is in receipt
of another letter from his son. Homer,
lieutenant in G company of the Mon
tana regiment at Manila, telling more
about the unruly conduct of the in
surgents which led up to and precip-
itated the fighting in which the Mon
tana regiment has since distinguished
itself. Lieutenant Richards, in all of
his letters written month or two
prior to the fighting, has told of the
troublesomeness of the insurgents and
steadily predicted that a clash must
come sooner or later The letter is
dated Jan. Is. less than four weeks
prior to the beginning of hostilities.
From it it will be seen the insurgents
were spelling for a whipping. and that
the Americans knew fight was COM
ing and were prepared for it. 1t is
equally evident. however, that the
Americans sized up the Filipinos wrong
and believed one good battle would be
all that would be required to bring
them to time
Lieutenant Richards says: There is
a great deal of excitement here at the
present time and it looks very much
as though we will have to fight any
day now. We have a call to arms
nearly every day. and the outposts
have all been doubled. l cannot see
how the United States can bring about
settlement until we have whipped
these savages. They have an idea they
can whip us and until it is demonstrate
ed to them otherwise our government
will not be able to handle them. If
we have one big battle l think that
would be enough for the insurgents,
but we would probably lose a great
many men, as the underbrush is very
thick and that is just what the insur
gents like to fight in
Lieutenant Richards refers to his
promotion to brigade comm7ssary on
the staff of Brigadier General Otis and
says that while he appreciated the
honor he was not in love with the job
as it deprived him of the opportunity
of seeing the fighting if it should come
