MISSING C0LD-B0X IS FOUND
y Surrounding the Big Steal is Darker Now than

PANAMA, July 16.-The Yukon Press says:
 1t appears that some of the detectives believe the gold was taken before the Ida May got here, and they give good reasons for their belief. They say the pack age of $73,00O which was left can not be lifted by one man, while the one marked $7S,000 (the one stolen here) was lifted easily with one hand by several passengers. They claim that when 1t was transshipped from the Tan ana a dummy must have been substituted, or at least a portion of 1t taken at that time and the rest of it may have been taken here.'

BASE BALL TALK
 BACK AND FORTH

Frank Stevens sent in word by Jerry Ford that he would challenge the Ram part base ball club to play game with his Colts for $250.
 Manager Bob Schaber sends him back word that he will accept the challenge and bet Stevens $250 more that Ram part sends them back losers
 In the meantime Dr. Carter, our nine's captain, is in Gibbon and will try to arrange game with the soldiers team while down there.
 The boys here are practicing hard, and should they succeed in getting match will surely give good account of themselves.
 Since the above was put in type it has developed that Stevens's challenge had a good many strings to it.l

St. Petersburg, July IT, The situation is critical. Three regiments have muti- nied and will offer armed re- sistance to the government.

A longshoreman claims he saw two men climb up the bank from the Ida May when the steamer was lying at Gibbon the night the rob- bery was discovered, and make off in the direction of town.
 Deputy Marshals Dreibel- bis and Hayes, with Detec- tive Mcguire and Manager Charles of the Alaska Pacific Express Company, are assist ing in the investigation.
 The officers are completely batfied. They realize that they are dealing with a shrewd criminal. It is the cleverest getaway ever re- corded in the annals of nor thern crime.

CHRISTMAS EVE in PARIS.

Picturesque Scenes at the Madeleine,
Historic French Church.
They drove to the Madeleine through
streets already full of life and move
ment Of hurrying crowds, darting fig.
ures now plunged in the black shad-
ows and now slipping out into the full
glare of the clustered lights. The big
perspective of the Place de la Con.
corde, thickly sown with lamps, was
shot through with glistening reflections
from the tops of carriages, the arcade
of the Rue de Rivoli was brilliant as
q stage setting, the hotels in the broad
Rue Royale were ablaZe with light, and
far at the end of the street, where the
lofty portlco of the Madeleine showed
clear against the starry sky, hundred
sparks twinkled from the cabs fitting
along the boulevard.
The steady roll of wheels merged
with the varying notes of horns in
motors and the sound of talk and
laughter from the sidewalks. and all
blended in great humming symphony,
struck through with the rafting, syn
copated clack -clack Of hoofS upon the
asphalt, like the staccati of sharp
drums.
The crowd at the Madeleine was al
most impossible but somehow they
gained the steps, the vestibule, and
were swept in the solid pack of men
and women through the door at the
right. The great floor was filed with
Il throng as varied as Paris itself.
Piety and the idlest curiosity, youth
and age, came together. AS the pro
cession came in sight its song was
Joined by the organ in the sanctuary,
and the music rose louder and fuller
in single godlike voice ranging down
from the dazzling altar.
Suddenly, like artillery, the great or
gan overhead crashed out in a volume
of sound that flooded the whole vast
interior like Il wave, sweeping over
the heads of the kneeling crowd and
mounting to the shadowy arches of
the roof. The very concussion took
the listeners breath away, and in the
recoil men and women burst into
tears, and pillows of emotional excite
ment rolled back and forth through the
church. - Winfield Scott Moody in
Scribner's.
