C.shes Two Checks n, Hastings.

A supposed forger is accused of
swindling a couple of Hastings, Neb.,
business men to the amoun of $lO.o5
The man first paid a visit to Kauf &
Rinderspreacher's butcher shop where
he bought some meat and gave them a
check for slO.a5 drawn upon the First
National bank of Hastings in favor of
George Martin and bearing the sigma
ture of J. NJ. Sewall & Co., grain buv-
ers, OF Hastings. The man signed the
name of George Martin on the check
and it was Immediately taken by the
butchers. A few minutes later he
vent TO the butcher shop of Henry &
Dreibilbis, where he repeated the per-
Torrance for the same amount of mon
ey. The matter was not discovered
until the butchers went to the bank,
where the checks were pronounced
~forgeries. The man who signed the
name of George Martin was of sandy
complexion N was dressed like a far
mer. AS yet no trace of him has been

ANOTHER LETTER.
Miss stone Writes From Her Captive
Home Ia Bulgaria.

A Sofia, bulgaria, dispatch says:
Another letter has been received from
Miss Helen NJ. Stone. Her health has
been somewhat affected by continual
confinement and hard fare, but she ex-
presses herself as still confident Of ulti-
mate release.
A letter to Mr.. Dickinson, diplomat
ic agent of the United States Mt Sofia,
replying to his proposals concerning a
ransom, says the brigands will hold
out for a figure very much above the
sum ut Mr.. Dickinson's command.
The brigands interpret Mr.. Dickinson's
not having fixed on the sum he is will
ing to pay and on a time limit as be-
ing indications that he car get more
money. They also demand immunity
from prosecution. But IL is impossible
for the diplomatic agent of the United
States here to have power to bind the
governments of Bulgaria and Turkey.
This point, however, is not likely to
be n serious obstacle in the way of
negotiations.

miners who are now marching from
surrounding towns to that city. Early

the Prospect Hill mines there and en-
deavor to persuade the non-union men
to stop work.
The men are divided into companies,
each OF which has a captain. They

will only employ lawful methods to
gain their ends. They will not return

they say, or secure the union scoles of
wages.
The men Mt Prospect Hill have been
out on u strike for several weeks for
higher wages. N~on-union men have

am sure that It is not given that

that 1t Is not cultivated with the en-
thusiasm with which It once was.
Girls are taught what etiquette says
about 1t, but etiquette deals only from
the lips outward, and the result In
that even u language tells the story
Of the d%ecadence Of thanksgiving. A
traveller from Mars might hear our
'Thanks!' a million times and never
suspect that 1t was meant as an ack-

that up to, say, a dozen years ago, in
those parts Of our country where gal

not give up a seat in a car without
being sure Of a full return in an &C

OF course this does not Justify or

not believe In the dscadence of women.
l believe that the girl Of today is equal
to the girl her mother used to be; but
l do not believe that IL is enough to
say of III girls that they are equal
to the girls of the past any more than
Y Is enough to say of a flower that has
had the best attention of the best

beautiful today as it was thirty years

II we have done wisely. the girl Of
today ought to have not only some.
thing which her mother lacked, but
she ought to have all her mothers

question whether in pressing her de-

some qualities at the expense OF

increased Its size and beauty &c the

An Entire Family Murdered Near Los
Angeles, Cal.
The dead bodies Of A. =. Wilcox,
wife and tw~o-year-old son, were found
In their home at Downey, twelve miles
from Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. All the
bodies were horribly mutilated, and
the bloody conditions of the premises
indicated that the murderer or murder
ers had met with a fierce Resistance.
Wilcox and his family had been shot
and then literally cut to pieces with u
knife.
The crime was discovered when a
neighbor called at the house and found
the place evidently abandoned. On
forcing the door he found the dead
bodies of the murdered family stretch
ed out on the floor. The woman had
been shot while carrying a plate from
the stove to the table. The baby lay
in the middle Of the room, while
the disembowelei body of the
father was stretched near the door.
1t Is suppos cd the crime was com
mitted two or three days before dis
covered. No clue TO the perpetrators
has yet been found.

Germs are often very youthful. In Eng

Jenkins makes a strong plea for state

IA population of 500, 900 for Oklahoma
and adds concerning It's prospects:
I'm the little. more than a decade
which has elapsed since the creation of
the territory the people have accom-
plished here more than any other COM
munity has accomplished in a quarter
of IA century. The story of the achiev-
ments of this people, their progressive.
