EVERY DOLL MUST NOW
HAVE STRAIGHT FRONT
Those Without Fashionable Figures
Are Hard to Sell.

'The doll that hasn't straight-front
figure is a drug in the market these
days, said the manager of the toy
department. I'VE have a large num-
Der of dolls on hand that are pretty of
face and neat of limb, but so long as
they have not the peculiarities of the
straight-front developed TO an abnor-
NAL degree our customers will have
none of them, except at bargain coun-
ter prices, and they are little squeam-
ish about taking them even on those
terms.

extensive improvements there For sew
eral days the chase was kept up between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City in the
nope of capturing him. One night about
IL O'Clock as he was about to enter the
residence he was captured and returned
10 Iowa for trial. It has since been
learned that on the day Of his arrest
DR.. J. B. Thomas had between $50, 900 and
$4,000 in bank In Philadelphia and on
the opening Of the bank the next morning
the money had been withdrawn
How this had been accomplished the
police have never been able to discover.
Thomas, after his arrest that night,
had not been allowed to see anyone, but
checks for that amount the next morning
were presented at the bank for payment
and properly signed by him. The officers
are of the opinion that Thomas had a con-
federate whose duty it was, in the event
OF his arrest, to withdraw the money
from the bank by checks which had been
previously signed by him.
Five indictments have been found
against him at Davenport on various
charges of forgery and uttering forged
paper, one of them being about ten feet
long.
Postoflce Inspector Kile had hoped to
have Thomas turned over to the govern
ment authorities. but the Iowa courts re-
fused to surrender him. and rather than
take any chances Of getting into the
hands of the government he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to seventeen
years imprisonment. Thomas tried to
square matters by returning the money,
bu this did him no good.
The first transaction that can be traced
to Beasely is that in 1886 at Ridgeville,
Ind, under the assumed name Of E. P.

Action of Railroads In Breaking Up
 Western Pools No Surprise.

New York, March Little surprise is expressed in railroad circles at the an- nouncement of the dissolution of the various western railroad associations and pools. The result was regarded as in of the interstate commerce commission.
 The abolishment of the associations will not, it Is understood, affect the trunk line association and the central pas senger committee. Trunk line officials say that one of the chief reasons for the dissolution of the western pools lay in the inability of those in power to enforce penalties.

Were Steaming Slowly.

When the accident occurred the two vessels were steaming slowly off the coast of Anglesy. The Harmonides crashed head-on into the Waesland and broke away, making a great gap in her side. Though the sea was perfectly smooth the denseness of the fog added to the terrors of the passengers of the Waesland. The women rushed on deck screaming, but were soon treasured by the officers The beats were quickly lowered but the ope- ration resulted in two fatalities.
 The end of one of the lifeboats slipped from it's davit and precipitated the occu- pants of the boat into the sea.

When Steamer COIIided With
 HGrmOnides All Were Asleep
TERROR AND CONSERVATION
Edward Dangerfield of Kansas, In At- tempting to Escape, Struck His Head Against Side of the
 Ship and Was Killed.

London, March 7-An officer of the Waesland, the Red line steamer sunk off Holy Head, in an interview. gave graphic description of the loss of the steamer. He said:
 'I saw the whole affair. I was late in turning in. as the night was foggy and we naturally were apprehensive. Practic ally all the passengers had retired. I was taking a last look at the weather and in doing so peered over the ships sides, when, without the slightest warn ing, there came a fearful crash which made the waesland stagger from stem to stern.
 My God! We are struckI I shouted.
 Then there loomed right over our ships bow the steamer which had run into us. It was terrifying, of course. We instantly recognized the peril. The dark ness at that time was impenetrable, but there was no mistaking the terrible con sequences of such an impact. The nose of the Harmonides appeared to have eaten right into our side. We were going very slowly, with no more speed than was necessary to keep headway. We were struck at right angles, tremendous hole was made and for a moment the stem of the Harmonides was literally inside our ship.
 "A rush of excited people from all parts of the ship immediately ensued. The passengers tumbled up just as they had retired for the night.
 Terror of BewiIderment.
 Terror and bewilderment reigned for a few moments, but the passengers gradu- ally ranged themselves in groups about the decks where they were best sheltered, and the crew worked like clock work in getting out the boats. The passengers were quickly and methodically marshalled into boats.
 "1.le experience in the small boats was trying on account of the darkness and cold. We did not knew exactly where we were, and for a long time could not discover the whereabouts of the Harmon ides, though she was nearby We could hear the rending and tearing of the doom ed ships timbers as she seemed to break in two Then there was a terrible eXplo- sion as the boilers blew up and all was over.
 We drifted and rowed for, seemingly. two or three hours, when we finally got in touch with the Harmonides We had no difficulty in getting on board. All our effects went to the bottom with the Waesland."
