CARNIVAL OF CRIME
Kansas City Witnesses a Series of
 Atrocious Tragedies.

Kansas City, Dec. 29.-Threc women held up by highwaymen, one of whom is dying from injuries received: a gir! attacked by an acid thrower and an other girl assaulted, is the record of crime in the two Kansas Citys for the past few hours.
 At neon today man enticed Ethel Campbell, the eight-year- old daughter of the former deputy marshal, from her home in East Bottoms, and beforo' making his escape he nearly choked her to death to prevent an out cry being made. The girl, half uncon- scious, was found by fishermen in a desolate place near the river, and was taken to the city physician's office. Thera she recovered sufficiently to give a description of her assailant. A vol unteer posse searched the bottoms thoroughly all afternoon, determined to lynch the man if he could be found. At nightfall he had not been captured. The girl will recover.
 At Edgerton, suburb of Kansas City, Kan, a woman clad in black threw carbolic acid in fourteen-year- old Elenore Bare's face. severely burn ing her cheeks and forehead. No cause for the assault is apparent and no clue to the identity of the woman has been found.

SPIRIT OF KINSHIP-

London, Dec. 29.-The Manufactu- rer's Record, speaking in behalf of English trade, says:
 "The men who have dominated the metallurgical interests of the world for so many years, whose trade ratifica- tions extend to every civilized country, are not men to yield to American su- premacy without sharing in it by be- coming a factor in Americas produc- tion.
 ''To these giants of industry it is not very material whether the source of production is England or Pennsyl- vania or Alabama. The people of America should welcome the incoming of this capital, not only for it's material benefits. but for that close kinship into which the United Sta.es and Great Britain would be drawn

GLADSTONE'S BIRTHDAY.

London, Dec. 9.-UpOn this date ninety years ago William E. Glad stone was born. There was no pub lie recognition of the anniversary to- day, but numerous floral offerings sent by political societies and individuals in many parts of Great Britain were deposited on the tomb of the dead statesman. During his lifetime the village of Hawarden was always on this day alive with telegraph messen- gers conveying congratulations to the castle, and the quietness which pre- vailed today was in strange contrast to the memorable activity of the past.

PISCATORIAL SPORT
Arizona Streams Are We'll Stocked
 With Game Fish.

Little attention has been paid by the general public to the work of the fish and game commission during past years, but meantime this branch of the territorial governmend has bern going along about it's business in a quiet way and has accomplished results that every sportsman and every lover of na- ture should be thankful for. The req son of this is that the commissioners are all enthusiastic in their work. They are sportsmen themselves, in a prac- tical way, and do their work more for the interest they have in the protec- tion of the fish and game. than they do for any possible dollar or two that may be appropriated for their purposes
 MT. John McCarty, chairman of the commission. Is very much interested and has devoted valuable time to the stocking of streams with game fish as well as to the enforcement of the game laws of the territory. He is in the city now and before he leaves will submtt his annual report to the governor.
 When seen by a Republican re- porter yesterday he said there is now good fishing in all the mountain streams of the territory. The Verde river, from it's mouth clear to the falls below Camp Verde, Clear creek, Shpr- lors forfi and Oak creek, have all been we'll stocked in recent years with trout of different varieties and other fish requiring cold water. These fish are now large enough for the table and there Is splendid sport for the Ik Wal tons. A salmon trout was caught in the Verde last June weighing eighteen pounds. Oak creek has been well stocked with rainbow trout, lake trout,

THE RELEASE OF HowGArE.
The Story of His Mighty Fall Re
 called


 Albany, N. Y, Dec. 29-Broken in health and bent with age, Captain H. w. Howgate, once head of the United States weather bureau, and one of the best known residents of Washington, was today released from the Albany county penitentiary where he has been confined for the last five years, serving term for forgery. Howgate's case was noted one, and attracted wide attention in 1895, at which time he was arrested and convicted. Twenty years ago Howgate was a trusted govern ment official and had wide reputation as lavish entertainer. In Washing ton he lived handsomely on what he stole from the treasury department. He gave dinners and excursions, and sup ported two establishments on the fruits of his forgeries. When he was ar rested, he asked a secret service detect i've to allow him to take a bath before leaving home. The detective compiled.

BRITISH BARBARITIES.

During a visit in Canada last sum- mer 1 discovered that in the Niagara peninsula the memories of the war of 1872 are still treasured by the inhabi- tants. One hears much about the war" and is surprised to learn that the second struggle between the Americans and the British is the one referred to-. The fact that a great deal of the fight ing occurred along the Niagara iron tier, and that plenty of relics of the war exist, is of course responsible for this. An article in the Post this morn ing reminds me that here in the Dis trict of Columbia, where the British committed great atrocities, there is still a deep-seated feeling against the mo- ther country. The article in question has for it's text the devastation of the Boer country by the British, and 1t finds a parallel in the operations of the British in this region and along the western frontier.
 Reference is made to the action Of Henry Clay, who was then speaker of the house of representatives, in secur- ing through a committee of the house a collection of sworn affidavits in re- gard to many barbarities committed by the British.
 These affidavits to the number of 193 were embodied in report made to the congress, and one of the 5000 vol umes ordered to be printed, is in the library of congress. It is entitled British Barbaritias," and does not make pleasant reading for the old res idents who had the stories fresh from the lips of their fathers or grand fathers. It was the British policy dur ing the war, as it is now in Africa, to cripple the enemy by destroying it's sources of supply. The destruction of the national capital and the devasta- tion of the shores of the Chesapeake by Admiral Cockburn will not soon be forgotten in this region. The reports of the present policy of the British in

A Tigers Bite.

his rifle barrels down its throat in the

to thus hold off lioness, which never

The village women of Holland take
special care to keep the tips of their
white lace hoods stiff with starch,
which is as necessary a perfection in
their toilet as polished linen and spot
less collars with ours. This delicate
hood Is worn over a black skullcap
that fits the closely clipped head very
much like the headgear of a nun. The
elderly women, widows, often wear n
straw bonnet over 1t. A jacket of dark
blue, with breastpiece of cream cloth
and dark blue border of the same cloth
Mt the hips, constitutes the dress of
the women and the girls.
The skirts protrude at the hips in a
grotesque fashion on account of the
many fiannels which they wind about
the body, evidently fad with them
as with many peasants of the Black
forest, where the custom prevails to
wear as many skirts as the spare box
will allow, adding at least one skirt
every year. They all dress alike. and
the talk about dress therefore does not
slip into their conversations, and on
that score they are at eternal peace
with one another, for no change of
dress has occurred among them for
centuries and will not for years to
come.-Donahoe's

TO HAVE ANOTHER RAILROAD.

une of Great Falls last Sunday:
"Gen. Washburn today filed with
the secretary of state here papers
changing the name of the Bismarck,
Washburn & Fort Buford railroad to
Bismarck, Washburn & Great Falls
railway, the intention being to ex-
tend the line to Great Falls, through
the Judith basin. Washburn also
intends to follow the old survey Of
the Aberdeen, Bismarck & Missouri
Valley road to Aberdeen, if the 500
fails to extend to Bismarck, and thus
form line from the coal fields on
his lands to the Twin Cities, fifty
miles nearer than any other line
now running. Washburn has al
ready shipped in here part of the
rails and ties, and expects to begin
work as soon as the weather per-
mits."

A Tough, Tough Fish.

Fish seem to have no sense of feel

angry and energetic movements of a

annoyance at losing its liberty than to
any sense of pain. | can confirm this,
because l have over and over again
taken an understood pike that has been
once or twice caught and put back into
the water.
Upon one occasion three of us-boys
of the Old brigade-were fishing in a
small pool in narrow, sluggish river.
Jones caught small pike, and as it
was understood, being barely four
pounds, he cut the hooks out of it's gull
let and threw the fish in again. Inside
of 30 seconds Jones caught the same
fish again. Once more he cut out the
hooks, and this time he had to maui it
very much. Once more it was kicked
in.
Then l caught it, still bleeding | got
the hooks out with difficulty, and be-
fore l could throw the fish in again a

it. At last we got so tired of catching
this fish that l threw 1t away in dis
gust. 1t caught in the fork of a willow

TRIBUTE TO MONTANA,

In the New Years edition of the
Salt Lake Tribune, the editor has
this pretty tribute to Montana.
GA great state is Montana. 1t
holds the great continental divide in
its ample arms, from it each way the
streams descend to both the gulf and
the Pacific.
''It is regal in all respects. 1t
covers as much area as either of sew
eral of the states of the old world,
and it holds within its grasp all the
elements of an empire. 1t is gigan-
tic in all its presentations. 1t con-
tests with Colorado for the cham
pionship as the great gold producer;
with Michigan as the great copper
producer; with Utah and Idaho as
the great lead producer; with Texas
and Ohio as the great wool produc-
er, and points to its uncultivated
fields, its yet unworked mines, and
all the limitless possibilities that
slumber within her borders waiting
for her second generation of men to
develop.
"The people take on sovereign
way to correspond with their great
state. TLey dare anything to fur
ther their enterprise; no work is so
difficult, no undertaking too gigan-
tic as to intimidate them; in their
daily lives courage and generosity
are their strongest characteristics,
and Hospitality is part of their re-
ligion. A great people, a great
state, and the Tribune extends to
both ,ne heartiest of all halls with a
happy New Year"

Pride of the Poor.

Mrs. Clarence Burns, who Is so well
known for her philanthropic work,
says that in all her experience in visit
ing the tenements of the poor of the
city she has never been asked for aims.
Mrs. Burns has made business of Wis.,
iting the poor with the hope of helping
them whenever she saw the need, but
finds it almost impossible to make the
really deserving poor acknowledge that
they are in need of anything.
One day she visited a family who
were all huddled together in one bare,
cold room, and their faces were so
pinched she knew they were starving.
But in response to her offer to help
them the mother said:
mo, thank you. The children have
had something today l am sure to get
work soon."
After questioning as to just exactly
what the children had had to eat Mrs.
Burns found that they had subsisted
for three days on few dried scraps Of
stale bread. This experience, she says,
is repeated frequently.-New York
Tribune.
