For More and Cheaper water.

w. P. c. Harding, President of the First National Bank. who introduced the resolutions at the last meeting of the Birmingham Commercial Club look ing to more and cheaper water for manufacturing industries in the Birm. ingham District, has called 6 meeting of committees named by the Commercial Club, cities of Ensley, Pratt City and Bessemer. all within the Birmingham district, together with the mayors of these towns and the boards of reve- nue, looking towards the first move ment for carrying out the proposed plan. The agitation will be set on foot and it is expected that in a short while arrangements will have been made to bring water into this district from the Warrior River. twenty miles from Birmingham. It is believed that with more water and at reduced rates a number of industries can be attracted to this district. Ensley, the steel su- burb, alone has prospects of securing plants which will bring about invest ments of no less than $3,000,000 wait ing for more water.

WOMAN IN MANS
GARB AS OUTLAW
Female Bandit of the Robbers
Roost Gang Is Captured After
Long Chase.

Salt Lake, Sept. 12:-At the point of
a revolver Josie Wilson, the woman
bandit who robbed men and stole stock
with the Robbers Roost gang, was cap
tured after a h~undredmile chase thru
mountain canyons and across the east
ern Utah desert.
The woman and John Jones, her com
panion, were brought back to Vernal
Deputy Sheriff G. B. Atwood made the
arrest after a long horseback chase.
Josie Wilson has been identified with
the train and bank robbers Of Robbers
Roost for several years. With Jones
gang. In mans attire she rode with
them, sharing the excitement of their
crimes and the plumber.
During several, weeks past the wom-
an has been operating near Vernal with
Jones. A series Of bold holdups and
stock thefts are charged to their &C
count. The holdup victims were always
homeseekers attracted to. the Uintah
reservation. Several parties were held
up and robbed on their road to the
reservation. Stock was driven away,
including in some cases pack animals
with their loads.
The boldness Of these stock thefts
surpassed anything that had eve oc-
Cured in that section, the animals
sometimes having been taken almost
from under the noses of their owners.
The climax came when several horses
in Asa Avery's pack train were driven
away from inside Vernal's town limits
in broad daylight. The animals car
ried heavy packs Of Quitting supplies.
Haw and Atwood took up the trail
of the thieves. When overtaken, Jones
and the woman put up a determined
resistance. A few shots were fred, but
no one was hurt, and the pair sur
rendered.

THE PERSISTENT RUDYARD.

A MAGAZINE editor on a roof garden talked about Rud-
A yard Kipling. .'.2 ..>
''When Kiplng was about 22," he said, "he came to
America with over three dozen short stories-'The Man Who
Would Be King THE End of the Passage and so OH
and he went from magazine office to magazine office, trying
to sell these wares. Tho he offered them at a low rate, no
one would buy them, for such stories are deemed in magazine
offices 'hubdub' and 'buncombe' unless they are the work
of well-known hands.
''But Kipling persisted, and finally he did sell a number
Of yarns-not to magazines, but to newspapers.
"Kipling, truly, is a persistent fellow. To persist, to
hold on. to stick-that is his dominant trait.
"His father, J. l.. Kipling, was once bringing him from
India to an English school. On the ship, on a certain after
noon, a steward rushed to MI. Kipling, who sat reading in
the smoking room, and painted: *".
"'Gracious powers, sir, come and try to save your boy.
He has crawled out to the extreme end of the %yardarm, and
there he hangs by his hands. If he ever lets go, he'll fall
and be drowned, sure

page of his book.

A REAL SWINDLER.

NEIsS MARY of the Philadelphia Society
lVl for Organizing Charity, abominates professional beg
CARS, and has innumerable stories in proof Of the worthless
ness Of these men.
Many of Miss Richmond s stories have a humorous turn.
Thus, recently, she said:
GAS an English gentleman was walking down a quiet
street, he heard a raucous voice say:
"sCharity! For the love Of heaven, charity!'
"The gentleman, a true philanthropist, turned and saw a
thin and ragged figure at whose breast hung a card saying, L
am blind The gentleman took a coin from his pocket, and
dropped it into the blind beggar's cup.
"But the coin was dropped from too great a height, and
it bounced out again. 1t fell and rolled along the pavement,
the beggar in pursuit. Finally it lodged in the gutter, whence
the blind man fshed it out.
!sThe gentleman said in a stern voice:
"'Confound you, you are no more blind than l am
s'The beggar, at these words, looked at the placard on his
breast, and gave a start Of surprise. ". -
X FRIGHT YOU are, boss he said. BLAMED if they haven't
mt the wrong card on me. I'm deaf and dumb.''

SON DEAD IN WRECK,
FATHER NOW A MANIAC

New York, Sept. 12.-No less tragic
than the death of Soloman Neugasse
in the elevated railway accident yester-
day morning was the grief that made
his father, Leopold Neugasse, a raving
maniac. The father is now at Bellevue
hospital confined in a straightiacket.
Three times he tried to kill himself.
Leopold Neugasse knew nothing of
the accident until l O'Clock in the af-
ternoon, when he boarded a subway
express train at the bridge. He carried
several papers which he began to read.
The train had reached Fourteenth
street when suddenly he sprang to his
feet and cried:
my son; my son Solomon is dead.''
He rushed thru the car knocking to
one side those who ran to support him.
Crying out the name of his son he
threw himself again and again against
the archway of the car door. Half a
dozen men were required to restrain
the unfortunate man until he reached
the hospital.

What the Market Affords
Iberia peaches, $1.35 a box.
Sickle pears, IS cents a peck.
Citron, 10 cents apiece.
Tomatoes, rs cents a bushel.
Pumpkins, 10 cents apiece.
Flour, $3.50 for 100 pounds.
Sugar, sixteen pounds for 81.

These are busy days for the housewife" for peaches, pears,
grapes and tomatoes are all ready for preserving. The
peaches are especially nice today, and, as they will not get
any cheaper or better, should be purchased now. They come
from Colorado and are firm and sound. The little pears
have Just arrived in the market, but they seldom drop very
low in price. Sugar has gone down slightly, but even a small
saving is welcomed by the housekeeper who finds this her
most expensive season. There has also been a drop in -four,
quite a considerable one, for the sacks Of 100 pounds are SO
cents less than they were.
Most women make jelly and preserves, but many do not
stop to think that the pulp left from the jelly may be trans
formed into a delicious marnalade or butter. A little water
is added to the fruit pulp before it is put thru a colander to
remove the seeds. It is then boiled down and must be stirred
constantly to prevent burning. Sugar, either pound for
pound or three -fourths of a pound to a pound of fruit, with
such spices as are desired, are added during the latter part
Of the cooking process.
Sweet picked pears or peaches make a delicious addi-
ton to a meal. Remove the blossom ends Of the sickle pears,
but leave the stems. Scald the peaches to remove the skin.
For seven pounds Of fruit make a syrup of five pounds of
sugar, one pint Of vinegar, one cup of water; skim and add
~two-thirds of a cup Of stick cinnamon and one-third of a
cup of whole cloves. Cook the pears or peaches until tender
in the syrup, and then place in fruit jars and pour the syrup,
reduced by cooking, over them. Put the spices into the Jars
with the fruit. @:~-...
