Cleveland is leading the way in the
abatement of the smoke nuisance.
Much has been done there within a
year, and much more is promised, due
to the force of example and the per
suasion of the officers. Drastic laws
are not enforced against the owners of
offending chimneys, but boiler own
ers are taught the economy of modern
better-burning furnaces and smoke.
consumers, while their pride in a clean
city is aroused. One evidence of
progress is the introduction within
the year of over $50 smokeless fur.
naces. The best results are obtained
from the use of hard coal and coke
While endeavoring to correct the
methods of the furnace owners, the
city has been a sinner itself, but it is
about to set good example by using
smokeless coal at the city hall, the
police stations and the workhouse.

This drift is accelerated by the use

What would the women's clubs OF
America have to say had they to face
such a decision as was recently
handed down by the Austrian supreme
court of appeals not long ago. The
decision in brief was that If a wife
saves money from the amount allowed
her by her husband for household ex-
penses, and appropriates this money
to her own use, she commits what is
to all intents and purposes, theft.
The case that brought this decision
was that of couple named Daun. AT
Ter 80 years of married life they were
divorced, and Mrs Daun took with her
the sum of $625, her savings of 80
years. Her husband brought suit and
recovered the whole amount, and the
Daun had practically committed
theft.
The increase of civilization is meas.
ured by the decrease of the hours OF
labor. Every step in this direction
improves the general condition of men
and distributes more widely the re-
suits of labor and the fruits of indus
try by widening leisure. Store hours
have been steadily shortening in the
United States for two generations. All
stores were once open until late in
the evening. They still are in Lon.
don, in all it's suburbs and in much OF
the trade in its very centre. A parlia.
mentary investigation last year
showed that practically all English re.
tail shops were open until s o'clock
five days of the week and until 10 and
midnight Saturday. Our cities have
all adopted as the hour for closing
stores, but this has taken over gen.
Grafton to secure. remarks the Phil

Eight Days Battle With Staryatlrn.

McClure's magazine often prints true stories which are stranger than fiction. Here is one of them-'Lost in the Land of the Midnight Sum- by Agustus Birdie and J. K. Me Donald, in the Christmas number. Charles Bum, an American, had Arctic geological records of the Ca nadian government to bring out to civilization" That is how the story begins; "he brought them" how it ends; and when you have finished the story those three concluding words will mean as much to you as any three wurds you ever read. That mortal combat for eight days with cold, with hunger, and finally with madness, makes as fine a record of human heroism as you will find any where in fiction or in fact. On the first day he sprains his ankle, yet he marches, almost barefoot, fifteen miles, over limestone ledge and through frozen slough. The one car fridge in his Winchester snaps when he has sure shot at caribou. For five days he wanders drenched to the skin in an Arctic mist-"a wash of wateT-colored light soaking into the gray clouds from somewhere" When the sun comes out on the sixth day, there come with it the Arctic flies and mosquitoes. He has stripped of half his shirt and a trouser leg for foot wrappings. The flies and mosquitoes camp on his bare neck and legs. "He let them bite and suck; he might as we'll get used to it." Then came the wolves; they never leave him. The last miles of his journey are done on hanks and knees. But he brought the records.

THE VERDE INDIAN MURDER.
Marshall Pete, the Victim of the Mur- derer's BuIIet---TroubIe Over a
 Game of Cards the Cause.

The Indian killed near Camp Verde short time since was Marshall Pete who is pretty we'll known in Prescott, having visited here a number of times. Pete was an old army scout and so far as his relations with the whites were concerned, always bore a good reputation, being friendly and peacea- ble. He was pretty we'll advanced in years and the Indians living in the Verde Valley looked upon him as a sort of leader or chief. On his visits to Prescott on any kind of business which affected the Indians, pete was always the spokesman, Indians, how ever, complained that to them he was arbitrary, overbearing and inclined to be despotic and while they seemed to fear him, many of them also hated him.
 The trouble which resulted in his death arose over a game of cards. The Indians are quite industrious and work for the citizens of the Verde valley during the day, but are invet crate gamblers among themselves and spend much of their time at night in that pastime, their favorite game be- ing coon-can. Pete and a number of other Indians were engaged in this game, among the number being his slayer, known by the name of Lou" The latter had lost all of his money and Pete ordered him out of the game. With a sweep of the hand Lou raked in all the coin in sight and then proceeded to obey the mandate to retire.
 Pete ordered him to return the money and on his failing to do so proceeded to follow him with the os- tensible purpose of forcing him to give it up. Lou seized Winchester rife and fired two shots, both taking effect, the bullets passing through Pete's body and he fell dead in his tracks. The murderer then left camp and the next day Constable Hutche- son was notified of the killing and he with Indians have been on his tracks ever since. The Indian has remained in the immediate neighborhood beat ing through the brush, but the h. dian trailers seem to be afraid of him and do not care to follow the trail when it becomes too warm.
 Marshall Pete's squaw was found dead hanging to tree about a year ago and it was reported that she had committed suicide although ominous hints were thrown out by the Indians that he had something to do with her death and that it was not voluntary act on her part.
