Miss stones Captors Have Granted a
Brief Extension of Time.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. October g.
The time allowed by Miss Stones kid
nappers expired yesterday, yet she is
still alive and unframed. 1t is known
now officially that her captors have
granted short extension of time-how
much is not stated-and the officials
feel that If the responses to the ap-
peals of Miss Stones friends do not
cease or diminish there is yet reas IN
able hope for getting the money in
season to save her life. The danger In
the situation lies in the abatement Of
popular interest which was so gener-
ously manifested during the first few
days following the issuance of the ap-
peal.
This afternoon a cablegram was re-
ceived by the State Department from
Consul General Dickinson, at Constan-
tinople, saying that Miss Stone had
been located in the mountains on the
Turkish frontier, and that on Saturday
last she was alive and well.

notice the sarcasm. Fifteen minutes
later, as he sat reading a wall of despair
arose from the back yard and fairly
jumped him to his feet.
Great Scott! What's that?" he asked
of Mrs. Bowser, who showed no signs of
excitement.
ITS your hog" she replied.
But a hog doesn't wall out like a
woman being murdered.
A second and more prolonged wall fol-
lowed his words, and the porker was
heard beating the barn door with his
hoofs. The identity of the wall was estab-
lished, and Mr.. Bowser started for the
barn muttering:
''That hog will stop that Internal noise
or I'll stop him"
He entered the barn and walloped the
waller with a barrel stave for five long
minutes, and the hog seemed to have
other things to think of as Mr.. Bowser
retired to the house to sit down to din
ner A quarter of an hour passed, and
then another sudden sound burst forth.
1t wasn't a wall, but more like a saw
trying to cut its way through iron, and
the cook came flying into the dining room
to call out:
''If that's a hyena you have in the
barn, sir, he's raving for human blood
What do YOU think ails him?' asked
Mr. Bowser of his wife as he waved the
cook out.
Lonesome, probably" she replied.
"Why in thunder should a hog be lone
some? Has he got to have housetul of
company and a brass band to keep him
cheered up? I'll go out and lonesome
him.
Il shouldn't be harsh with him, Mr..
Bowser. You've started out to raise
bacon and bust trust. and you shouldn't
kill your pork too soon."
"Oh, you've got around to sarcasm,
again! 1 thought you were only playing
possum"
There was an interval of three minutes,
and then that hog raised his voice to such
a pitch and he had SO many buzzsaws in
it that every baby on the block felt his
hair curl. The uoise stretched out ten
yards long and died away in a series of
coughs and banks.
HE evidently wants other towels"
said Mrs. Bowser in her quiet way.
And he'll get 'em and death on top

COMPLAINT AGAINST TILLEY.
Alleged That He Has Been Drunk,
and Has Misbehnyed Himself.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October o
Reports have reached the Navy De-
partment from Tutuila, Samoa, COM
planning of the conduct of Capt. Tilley,
commandant of that station. 1t is al
legged that on more than one occasion
the influence of liquor and that his
conduct was unbecoming an officer
Acting Secretary Hackett has direct
ed the communicative chief of the Paci-
fic squadron to proceed to Samoa to
ascertain the truth with regard to the
charge, and if necessary, to hold a
court for the trial of Captain Tilley.
The department has detached Cap
tain Tilley from command of the Aba
renda and of the station, and ordered
him to proceed by the next steamer
from San Francisco to Tutuila. The
charges, it is proper to say, We're re-
ceiyed at the department with surprise,
since the record of Captain Tilley
hitherto has been unblemished. The
administration of his office, as re-
ported officially from time to time, has
been eminently satisfactory. There
has been no ground for supposfng that
this officers conduct was otherwise
than what it should have been.

To very favored acquaintances there is
a tiny sketch. not stamped, but woven
into the fabric, each picture being es-
pecially prepared for the recipient. These
she gives to the appropriate one on fitting
occasions, but the most Waited cigarettes
are the ones that bear her autograph.
Real tobacco of the finest quality forms
the body of these extravagant rolls. White
silk cigarettes are given to gentlemen,
pink ones to ladies.

On the arrival of the boat here at

and he stated that Charles Mitchell the
man who did the shooting. resided at
Pomeroy, and that Immediately after
he fred the shot he ran from the Kama
wha, through the wharfboat at Steu-
benvi.le, and on into the darkness. He
did not stop to secure his hat and must
have been under the impression that he
had fatally injured Stewart. He did
not know what had become of him.
Bert Mitchell. the man shot, resided
at GalEpolis. His injuries consist OF
the wound through the left wrist and
groin. they are by no means serious.
On the arrial of the boat at his home
he will be put off until he has reeov-
cred.
When questioned as to the probable
cause of the trouble he stated that the
first ne knew OF any disagreement was
early in the morning at Rochester,
where the two had fallen out, but had
seemed to have made up. The trouble
occurred at Steubenville at about 6
o'clock.
Wharfmaster JEFF Frame stated that
he had known Stewart since the latter
was a small boy and that he had al
ways born an excellent reputtion.
