Last Wednesday night some
unknown party went to the home
of Mrs. Augusta Armstrong in

be a box containing gold and
silver coin. Thursday morning
Mrs. Armstrong discovered a pile
of fresh dirt under peach tree

ting they found hole that con-
tanned decayed box on which
were prints of coins, which ap-
peared to have been tightly
packed in the box and gave ey-

out a handle was an instrument
used in digging the, hole.

rance and are trying in every

The scholars and teachers of
the M. E. Sunday school, South
met at the church Sunday after
noon at two O'Clock and marched
from there to the meadow near
the arboretum where large
number of gaily colored eggs had
been hid in every conceivable
place. The many happy children
made the echoes ring with their
shouts Of laughter as they ran
here and there eager to find the
hidden treasures. A prize of 25c
was gwen to the child finding
the golden goose egg and sack
of Easter candy the second
prize for the one finding the red
goose egg. Lee King was the
fortunate one, finding both the
eggs. The hunt lasted an hour
and each child went home with
a liberal share of Easter eggs.

Washington, Apr. Is Especially
A new executive mansion for the
President of the United States,
to be located nearly a mile fur
ther from the center of the city
than at present, which shall in
every way be splendidly fitted
up and furnished, is the plan
over which Washington is con-
siderably stirred up at present.
It's reported at the Capitol that
the President has been ap-
preached on the subject, and
that he has indicated his en-
thusiasm in no uncertain tones.
To meet the objections of
patriotic Americans to the aban-
donment of the present White
House, those who are furthering
the plan propose that it shall
not be actually apandoned, but
shall be used either as the resi-
dence of the Vice Presidens or
for Offices of the President. But
even these suggestions can not
quell the opposition to the plan,
of those who remember that the
White House has been the resi-
depce of all the Presidents from
George Washington to Roose-
velt, in an unbroken line, ex-
cept for the temporary lapse oc-
casioned by its partial burning
when the British captured the
city in 1914, and who therefore
rightly look upon it as the center
and source of patriotic associa-
tions. From those, also, who
look with pride upon the plain
yet impressive White House as
the very emblem of democratic
simplicity. the proposal to pro-
vide an executive castle will
bring lasting opposition. OF
course, it is true that the growth
of executive business demands
increased accommodations, but
it seems to be the general opin-
ian here that the White House
grounds afford ample room to
provide for additions sufficient
to accommodate the growth of
many years.

then went home to take the news
to his wife, going past Coyle's
store, which was all right at that
time.
Well toward morning the cook
at Ashby & Livingston's which
keeps open all night and is a
restaurant near Victory's store,
heard a noise she did not under
stand and in a few minutes,
when train came by she heard
breaking glass. She reused Mr..
Livingston and told him. He
went out back and saw the lad

standing against the roof of the
grocery next to Victory's. This

afterward that this was the ronte

ladder at the rear, over the gro

Victory's, where window was
broken IN the second story. The
exit was made out the rear door
on the ground floor. After look
ing around in the rear Mr.. Liv-

Victory's front door and then

everything else seemed normal

There is reason to believe that
a vote will be had on the Hep

able speech of Senator Bailey
this week has cleared the politi~
cal atmosphere. While the Texan
did not deal directly with the
Hepburn measure, but devoted
himself to a discussion of the
right of Congress to prohibit the
lower courts from setting aside
temporarily the orders of the In
terstate Commerce Commission
pending appeal, his argument
served to disclose the attitude of
the Senate majority. This dis
closure has resulted in the first

favor, also, of an amendment
providing suspension of the
Commissions rate orders when
they are being reviewed in
court, the carrier filing bonds in
each case to cover the amount in
action. Altogether, the pros
poets for the enactment of con-
servative aud efficient rate legls-

FIRE DEPARTMENT DISABLED
MUCH DYNAMITE USED.
Disaster Came Upon Sleeping
City at 5.IO O'Clock in the
Morning.
Business Section Of City VIII be Total
Loss and Most Of Llty May Burn.

A fearful catastrophe occurred
at San Francisco at 5 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning, when the
city was visited by an earth
quake which demolished many
hundreds of buildings, rendered
the water system useless and
deprived the fire department of
the means of fighting the flames.
There were frequent and con-
tinuous shocks of lesser magni-
tude following the first and most
disastrous shock that caused the
great damage and loss of life.
The earthquake was noticeable at
observatories all over the coun-
try, extending even to Washing
ton, where the seismograph re-
corded the shocks---g4.-----.~,A..
AT noon the loss of life was
estimated at one thousand result
ing directly from the earthquake,
which caught the sleeping city
unwares. There were at first
wild reports in circulation say
ing that half the city was de
molished and the other half
literally swallowed up. The
loss Of life was put away up in
the thousands.
The heaviest loss of life seems
to have occurred in cheap lodg-
ing houses and hotels on Market
street toward the Ferry Slips
The large department and other
stores and business houses were
empty when the shock came, else
the loss of life would have been
enormous. The residence por-
tion of the city was but slightly
damaged by the earthquake.
Fire broke out in many places
and spread with great rapIdity
through the wrecked buildings.
There was no water supply
available to adequately cope
with the flames and dynamite
was resorted to. At l O'Clock
yesterday buildings were being
blown up within a block of the
Palace Hotel, the largest and
most magnificent hostelry in the
city. The news at that time was
that the task was considered
hopeless.
At 2 p. m. bulletin said that
the flames continued to spread
and that there was little hope Of
saving any of the business por-
tion of the city. The loss up to
that hour was estimated at no
less than $4,000, 900
The tracks on thirty miles Of
railroad north out.of the city had
sunk and were SO damaged that
the roads could not be used.
The first news cast pail Of
gloom over the entire country
and quickly put in the back
ground the disaster and suffer.

BLOODH0UNDS FROM EDDYvLLE
GIVEN TRIAL.
Stores Of Victory and CoyIe Suffer Small
Losses in Early Monday Burglary,

Mr.. Robertson, t h blood
hound man from Eddyville, who
followed with pair of very am
bilious dogs the supposed trail of
the men W h o robbed j. M.
Victory's store, declared several
times before leaving darlington
that one of the men who followed
his dogs in the chase had taken
part in the robbery. He said
this openly and in the hearing of
a number of citizens. He said
he did not know one man from
another here and did not say
therefore who the party was that
he suspected. Whether he COM
municated his suspicious fully to
anybody here cannot be stated.
The pair of hounds that Mr..
Robinson brought were certainly
ambitious and seemed to do
their work as we'll as many be-
lieved dogs can do, starting as
they did on trail that was
many times crossed before they
got out of town. They were un
able to take hold of the trail
from Coyle's store. Mr.. Robert.
son had unlimited faith in his
dogs and claimed that they held
the trail from Victory's store
until they came to where the
11.bHrgIars, had taken a horse in
| the woods two miles north of
town toward Madisonville. The
party came TO where barefoot
ed horse or horses had been
hitched in the woods and the
dogs did not do any good after
that.
Robertson said his dogs had
caught an escaped "jail MANI
at Eddyvillo The day before he
came here, that is on Sunday
that they chased h i M about
three miles through the country
before he was overtaken, on a
fresh trail. Just before leaving
he told the gentleman who paid
for his services that if he sent for
him again he would come and
"guarantee a catch", adding "no
catch no pay"
Theories as to. who are the
culprits seem hard to formulate.
1t happened that there are cir
cumstances that point to home
talent in one case and possibly
to the work of tramps in the
other. 1t is thought that the
fact that Mr.. Coyle is not sure of
any loss except some pennies
and a hat may indicate that the
burglary of his store was accom-
plished by tramps. Everything
was rum mag d through at
Coyle's.
Neither Victory or Coyle
seem to have lost more than a
small amount and at Farnsworth
& Rootz it is thought the thieves
may have taken a few pocket
knives, though this is not posi-
tive.
The robberies must have been
committed early in the morning
and the small loss may be ac-
counted for on the grounds that
the hour was late and they were
scared away. Mr.. Coyle went to
his store about $50 Sunday
night for some purpose. John
x. Taylor, the druggist next
door, went to his store to fill a
prescription between / and 2
O'Clock. Both were discovered
i by Clarence M t c h ! i night
policeman. Mr.. Mitchell con-
tinued on his rounds until 3
O'Clock, when he received a rele-
phone message announcing the
death of Mrs. Andy Sisk, who
was a relative of Mrs. Mitchell,
