'"The prisoners declared that the
war would continue for a long time,

attain a final victory, regardless OF
the losses which might be involved,

During one engagement the
Thirty-seventh division, especially
the First brigade, sustained extraor-

EMPLOYER DESERTED HIM
Billings Boy Left In Lurch BY Blind
Man.

Billings Boy Lett In lurch BY Blind
Butte newspapers received yester-
day contained an account of a Billings
small boy, who was picked up by the
police and turned over to the state
authorities. OF the different stories
published the following is from the
Evening News:
The ase of Homer Hayworth, \
little Billings boy, aged between 5 and
6 years, and hired to a blind man,
who yesterday was taken in charge
by Otto Schoenfeld in Butte, Illus
trates the padrone system as it exists
in Montana.
AT an early hour yesterday morning
a boy led into the city police station
a smaller boy, Homer Haywortn,
whom he had found in front of a south
side saloon.
Homer said he had been hired by
his mother, Rose Hayworth, of Bill
ings, to go with a blind man to sell
campaign buttons and "phony" jew
elry. The two had arrived at Butte
late Wednesday night and had taken
room nine at the st. Charles lodging
house on North Main street.
Thursday night they had gone out,
and the blind man had entered a sa-
loon, leaving the boy to wait for him
on the sidewalk. There he had been
found by the bigger boy and taken to
the police station.
Otto ~Schoenfeld, the executive Off.
Ger of the state bureau Of child and
animal protection, happened to be IN
Butte yesterday and heard of the
boys condition. He arranged to have
him cared for here until he can be
removed to the orphans home at
Twin Bridges.
Homer Hayworth is a bright and in
telligent lad. He talks plainly, and
the story as he tells it it easily under
stood. He says that he has a brother
who is much older and larger than he.
He says the blind man treated him
we'll, but gave him no money.

The Prevailing Modes.

1t can scarcely be said that the pre-
vailing modes are graceful. Dropping
shoulder capes, walking length gath
cred skirts, with fussy trimmings and
quillings, make the fashionable belle
look as though she had been going
through some of her grandmother's
trunks to find ideas. Even the old
fashioned materials have been rejuve-
mated, although of course much i'm
proved in finish.

The shoulder seam is long, but not
dropping; the sleeve a little full, with
a slight puffiness over the wrist, and a
narrow strapped belt around the waist
accentuates the smart fit. The skirt
is nine cores, each alternate gore con-
sisting of shaped box plait, and the
intervening ones are slashed at the
knee to admit an inverted plat, this
method affording the requisite snug
$ at the hip and fullness at the
hem.

MONTE CARLO FOR ALASKA.
A Gambling Casino Ont at Sea on the
Ice In Course Of Construction
At Nome City.

II is proposed at Nome, Alaska, TO
erect casino for gambling purposes on
the Ice Of the high seas, three miles
from shore. In this way the municipal
regulations of the town will be avoided,
and neither the United States author
tiles nor those Of any other country will
be able to interfere.
In the winter Behring sea is covered
with ice from many miles out, the ice be
ing 90 or 80 feet in thickness. On this
a casino may be built with safety. The
building, as 1t is planned, will contain
hotel accommodations gambling rooms.
dance halls and all the other requisites.
1t is now under construction on shore
In sections.
The ice Of Behring sea Is very rough
and hard to travel over, but a smooth
roadway will be cut out to the three
mile limit and, after the casino 10 open
to the players and dancers, stages will
run nightly from Nome. Until April the
building may be left standing on the
ice. and then. with the approach Of
spring, 1t will bs taken apart and
sledded to shore to be put away for the
next winter.
This course on the part Of the gam
blers is result OF the closed policy
maintained by the town Of Nome. Gam
bling there is practically suppressed.

by DR.. Kent he discovered that when the
6ourescence took place the interior of
the abdomen was plainly visible This
aid to diagnosis is almost as valuable as
the discovery that DR.. Morton's solu-

SINKING INTO EARTH
Town of Motherwell, Scotland, Is
Gradually Disappearing.
Railway Porter Drops Suddenly Into
Chasm In the estreet--Houses Totter
ON Their Fouudations-Res-
idents Become Alarmed.

The Scottish town Of Motherwell was
recently the scene of subsistence not
unlike that which occurred a few days
ago at Hanley, in Staffordshire, Eng
land. AT intervals portions of the town
have been sinking. and this has involved
loss of property and danger to the resi-
dents.
The latest collapse was at the Gale
donian railway station. A porter was
wheeling barrow laden with milk cans
along the platform when suddenly his
footing gave way beneath him.
The man and his truck sank into a
hole several feet In diameter and Ave or
six feet deep The scared porter was
rescued with difficulty, and after time
his barrow was also got out of the
chasm.
Owing to the fact that the subsistence
was within three yards OF the main line
between Glasgow and London the incl
dent 10 regarded with not little alarm.
Arrangements have been made with the
ofncials to make excavations at the
earliest possible moment to ascertain
the cause Of the occurrence and to
guard, as far as possible. against repe-
tition OF 1t.
Express trains pass over the spot at
Of serious accident is not one that can
be contemplated with equanimity.
Motherwell presents an extraordinary
appearance to the newly arrived visitor.
House after house Is slowly sinking into
its foundations. Some of them have
swayed over bodily from the perpen-
dicular; others have fallen apart, gable
from gable, and collapsed.
The town hall is one Of the most con-
spicuous examples of the havoc that is
silently but irresistibly being wrought.
Its square tower. 70 feet high, looks like
3 veritable Tower OF Pisa. 1t leans so
much that passers-by walk beneath 1t
with nervous apprehension.
The town hall itself is in state of
dissolution The building is cracked
and contorted, and its walls are marked
by gaping apertures.
In the southwest portion of the town
there Is hardly building that remains
intact. The street curbstones present
q confused variety Of angles. and the
footpaths rise and fall independently OF
the contour OF the streets.
Hitherto no means have been found
for determining whether any site in
that portion Of the town which is af-
fected is likely to make reliable building
land The place Is undermined by reg
ular network Of disused coal workings.
which cannot be located above the sur
face. The erection of new buildings is
consequently matter Of speculation in
more than the ordinary sense
The uncertain foundations have q
paralyzing effect upon enterprise and
industry. II 10 only few weeks since
the foundation dificulty was overcome
in the case Of the new power station Of
the local tramway company.
II was found impossible to set the en-
ginss because the levels Of the concrete
on which they were erected are con-
stantly varying. Operations we're sus-
pended for a time, but latterly special
measures have been successfully adopt
ed to overcome the difficulty.
