To Promote Use of Alcoh oil.

Washington, ID. c., Setp. 12- In
formation has reached the Peruvian
legation in this city that the general
exposition of the methods, apparatus
and machinery for the application of
alcohol to the production of motive
power. light and heat, which is now
in progress in Lima, is meeting with
great success. Peru is one of the
chief alcohol producing countries in
the world, and the object of the ex-
position is to give alcohol producers
an insight into the capabilities of
alcohol in the industrial field. 1t is
believed that by encouraging the use
of alcohol for industrial purposes, its
consumption as beverage can be very
considerably restricted

Massacre of Paoll.

West Chester, Pa. Sept l2-Ex-
tensive preparations are being made
for the observance of the one hundred
and twenty fifth university of the
massacre of Paoli next week, and if
good weather shall prevail the monu-
ment grounds, near Malvern, where
the celebration will take place, will
swarm with several thousand people,
including prominent members of the
Sons and Daughters of the American
Revolution and various other patriotic
societies. The program will consist
of patriotic music and addresses by
several orators of note.
1t was on the night of September
20, l777, that the troops commanded
by General MAD Anthony" Wayne,
retreating from the battle of Brandy
wine, were surprised by the British
general, afterwaTd known as Flint
less Gray. The British general
forbade his men to fire shot, and to
make sure of it took their fiints away,
whence his nickname "Flintless "
The night was intensely dark, and the
Hessiasn fell upon the Americans
without moments warming, and
bayoneted them, only the genius of
General WAYNE saving the entire army.
After the Continental troops had re-
treated. the sick and wounded were

burned. On the following day 53 of
the victims were buried in one grave,

Officers Tabor and Nicholas picked
up bunch of crooks last night. who
may be bigger game than they are
known to be at this time
Yesterday morning Mr.. Tabor saw
lows hanging around the streets who
at once aroused his suspicious He
pointed them out to Acting Night
Marshal Nicholas and told him to
keep his weather eye on them. Last
night one of the men became engaged
a comparative stranger in town, and
represented to the Swede that he
owned big ranch on the western
slope and wished to hire some men.
The Swede wanted work. The stran-
ger asked him if he had enough
money to buy ticket, and he
answered that he had about eight dol
lars. Two of the strangers friends
appeared on the scene. The first
smooth guy proposed walk on South
Union avenue and the quartette start
ed out. After crossing the tracks the
smooth one pretended to pick up a
nickel which to his evident surprise
proved to be little locket He
wondered whether it would open. He
manipulated it for while and it
opened. He was of the opinion then
that none of the rest could open it and
swallowed the bait, hook and all, and
said he didn't have ten but he would
bet all he had, and handed his pocket
book to one of the others. At this
juncture fifth man appeared on the
scene, accused the four of gambling
and placed them under arrest. They
all begged, and the supposed officer
told them if they would get out of
town on the next train he would let
them GO They hurried TO escape,
going separate ways. Afterward the
Swede saw all four in friendly CON
versation and he realized he had been
worked He notified Nicholas. and
he in turn notified Tabor and the two
officers picked up their men at the
depot.
The crooks are Frank Anderson, J.
f. Gosnell, George Kelley alias
Graham, and John Davidson.
A bunch of skeleton keys was found
on one of the parties.

10 be consistent I should have
gone indoors and kept out of sight
If I were to serve Macpherson's turn
as spy in the engineers camp, it
said itself that I must not be known
as Macpherson's friend. But shame
pricked into the lists, sword out and
visor down, and stood my ground
when the pair galloped up.
Wykamp drew rein at the door
stone, or, to record the fact, he
dragged at the leather and his horse
danced an accompaniment. The animal
was a fine-blooded bay which-with
humane gentling and snaf1e-bit-
might have been ridden by a woman;
but it had been spurred cruelty in
the race down the valley. In the bit
OF equestrian by-play I had an op-
portunity to observe the two men.
The engineer was a disappointment.
Prehgurings of a person described,
but otherwise unknown, are newt
able; hence, out of the material
gathered from Macpherson's conf
dences I had fashioned rather
melodramatic villain of the fictional
school. No fancy sketch could have
been farther from the fact. The en-
gineer was a trim-built, athletic
young fellow, as handsome in his
way as Macpherson, though quite at
the opposite extreme of the gamut
OF types, carefully groomed from his
close-trimmed beard and curling
mustaches to the well-6tting tweeds
and tan leather leggings; a man of
business, clear-cut, concise, aggres-
sive, one would say, emotional only
in some flood-tide of passion, and
vindictive only when thwarted.
His Mexican henchman could be
summed up in terser phrase. Dark
skinned as q Zambo, small and 1.-THE
as the savage little tiger-cat of his
native chaparrals, with sleepy eyes,
pin-points of feral intelligence that
saw everything without appearing to,
ambushed under the dropping brim
OF his broad sombrero; he was
plain-song assassin of the baser sort,
OF q type familiar enough in the
pioneer period, and seen at its best
when found dangling from the cross
arm of telegraph-pole or the
branch Of a convenient tree.
When the bay was temporarily
subjugated, Wykamp ignored me and
turned to Connolly.
Where is Macpherson" he de-
manded.

corrected the ex-trooper, mildly.

Taxes and Conscience.

Alvah Eastman says in the St. Cloud
Journal-Press: "What is needed in
this country is an awakening of the
conscience of men of property. The
man who has been fortunate should be
willing to pay taxes on his possessions
at reasonable valuation. If he does
not he is defrauding his neighbors.
We are apt to forget that the State is
after all only the people, and when we
shirk our part of the public expenses
some other citizen has to pay it, and
when we do this we are on the same
moral plane with the pickpocket or
the thief. The general excuse that
everybody else is dishonest, should not
satisfy thoroughly honest man."

ULTIMATUMS TWAIN.
When all is said, sober second
thought, so much vaunted and be-
praised, is but an ignoble thing.
How many fine project, conceived
in impulsive unselfishness and sent
rocket-wise on it's course starward,

an emprise which seemed altogether
promising and feasible when planned
overnight has become a thing pre-
Posterous in the cold gray light Of
the morning.
Some such reflective misgiving as
sailed me when I came to write the
letter to my friend in the Glenlivat
company's directorate. Doubtless,
the passport into the camp of the
enemy would be Forthcoming; but
once safely within the lines, what
could hope to accomplish? Would
Wykamp straightway proceed to un-
bosom himself to me?-make a con-
fidant of stranger, an emergency
guest foisted upon him by the good
nature of one of his directors? The
idea was absurd. And if he should
do such an Incredible thing, the end
would but indifferently justify the
means; one could hardly eat his
salt and betray him.
The letter was written and Dan
Connolly was saddling for the ride
to the fort. In a few minutes the
undertaking would be afoot and re.
consideration impossible. But q
shorter respite has saved an army,
and my reprieve was already on the
way. Connolly shaded his eyes un,
der his hand and interrogated a
filmy dust-cloud on the up-valley
trail. It was approaching the ranch,
and the level rays of the newly
arisen sun turned it into a hazy MIN
bus of gold-dust.

Condition Of 0'Brien Whose
Skull Was Fractured.

AS Patrolman Mcdonnell was standing
near Market square, on South Main
street at 1880 last evening. he saw
man, whom he presumed 10 be drunk.
stagger across the square. and then take
a seat in the doorway OF Chases grocery
store.
The officer waited few minutes TO
give the man chance to get his bearings
and take a fresh start. Then he spoke
TO him and ordered him TO get up and
move on.
There was no response. and, failing to
arouse the sleeper, the officer shook him
slightly,
1t was tuen discovered that the sup
posed slumberer was unconscious and
call was sent for the hurry up wagon.
Sergt. Toole. whose duty IL was to lock
UP the prisoner. found that the latter
had been injured
One eve was draped in dark red and
blood oozng from the nose and mouth.
DR. Griffin was sent for and he said
the prisoner had probably suffered a Sc
we're fracture of lae nose and ordered HIM
TO be taken TO the Rhode Island hospital.
After that transfer had been made the
mans effects were examined and his
identity xas disclosed.
The sufferer was John O'Brien OF IL
School street, 30 years old. and veteran
OF the Hispano- American war.
Lieut.. IN investigated the case and
with the aid OF Patrolman Mcdonnell
found that o'Brien had been stopping at
Sam Marks logging nouse, on Crawford
street.
Late yesterday afternoon O'Brien.

struck him. Nugent returned the blow
by knocking O'Brien down.
AS O'Brien fell his head struck on the
edge OF a barrel but not, as was then
judged. with much force. for O'Bren got
up and went out unassisted.
Nugent was locked up at the Central
station TO await the action of Chief Mat
thews.
This morning O'Brien was conscious
and quite comfortable.
