A strange case of matrimonial fraud

man Of the lower middle class married
a man whom she took to be Herr

years absence in America to make her
his wife. In less than a month he

A month later she received a letter
from America regretting that the writer

Pacific Coast Protests,

Washington, Feb. Is. - Serious op-
position from Pacific coast interests has
developed to the Cushman bill provld-
ing for new fahing regulations for
Alaska. The house committee on ter
ritories is now considering the bill and
today six Pacific coast senators and a
number of representatives appeared. be-
fore it and asked that the hearing be
kept open until parties interested can
reach here from the coast to be heard
in opposition to it.
The principal point of objection is
that the bill gives to the department OF
Commerce and Labor power to make
suitable regulations. 1t is claimed
the department would be absolute in
this matter, and that any changes in
the existing regulations would work
hardship, if not ruin, to the salmon
fishing Industries.

CHINESE ATTACK MISSION.
Viceroys NowsTake Lead in En9nity to
White "Barbarians."


London, Feb. 16.-The correspondent
at Shanghai of the Standard telegraphs
as follows:
News has reached here of another at
tack on foreign mission at Ngankin2,
province of Nganhwei, on the left bank
of the Yangtse Kiang river. No loss OF
life is reported.
Yesterday an attempt was made here
by a trusted Chinese servant to murder
the secretary of the French municipal
council while he was asleep. The at
tempt was frustrated and the assailant
arrested.
Many of the great provincial viceroys
are displaying marked anti-foreign
attitude, which they would hardly dare
so openly to assume unle7s they
thought that Pekin approved their con-
duct. In the foreign settlements OF
treaty ports efforts are being made
quietly to recover privileges granted to
foreigners.
In some quarters Japan is believed
to view the possibility of armed inter
vention being necessary with equanim-
ity, since it would provide her with oc-
casion to obtain from China what she
failed to exact from Russia.
In Shanghai two additional COM
panies of volunteers are being raised.

ell favors strengthening the Sikh police

Cruyy Pictures.

Never mind if it does rain. Mamma

for rainy days" said Harold.
Il have thought of something now,"
said mamma. Oct some pieces of
smooth brown paper for frankie and
little Helen, and some of that pretty
green cardboard for Esther and Ma

scrap-boOks. | will pick out some old
magazines, and Leon may get some
paste Esther. you may take the cloth
off the dining-table, and spread out
some newspapers. am going to show
you how to make crazy pictures"
The children ran to collect the things.
and mamma sent Harold for both pairs
of scissors and the shears. and Esther
for some empty boxes and covers to lay
the parts of pictures in.
Now" said mamma. giving the
things round Ia the different ones as
she spoke. you may cut the brown pa
per into sheets about six by eight
inches you may cut the cardboard the
same size.
Now all you little ones may cut out
the pictures of everything in the adver-
tiSenent pages that is alive. hut don't
try to cut them close to the picture: let
the older ones do that. Harold may
punch the sheets on one end. 80 they

ity jump from one piece Of tin-foil to
the other. In other words, the friction
made by the rubbing has turned the
lamp-chimney into an electrical ma
chine.
Another pretty experiment may be
made with this little device. Wrap q
piece Of iron or brass wire around the
middle band of tin-foil letting one end
hang down five or six inches. To this
end attach several strips Of cigarette
paper in a bunch. Now put the brush
into the chimney at the opposite end
to that used at first and rub it briskly.
The electricity thus generated will go
into the strips Of paper, and make them
stand out from each other as if they
were alive and were struggling to get
as far apart as possible.
If the paper be cut to form two cats
the result will be very amusing.
These experiments are best made In
perfectly dry weather. and 1t Is we'll,
also. to warm both chimney and hand
kerchief at the fire.

Dare Not Buy American Goods.

Washington, Feb. l5.-The general
purport of the advices to the State de-
partment is that there has been great
interference with American trade in
China by the boycott, but that there is
lack of tangible evidence of an uprising
Anne rican petroleum, condensed milk,
tobacco, sewing machines and the like
have been placed under the ban. Even
outside of China, it is reported a China
man would jeopardze his life if he
offered for sale or purchased an Ameri

HEYBURN'S DRASTIC BILLS.
Would Stop Creating Reserves and
Order General Survey.


Order General Survey.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 16. - sena'
tor Hepburn is going after the presi-
dents forest reserve policy again. To-
day he introduced bill far more dras-
tic than anything he has heretofore at
tempted. 1t prohibits further with
drawals of public land for forest reserve
purposes in Idaho, and stipulates that
where land has heretofore been with
drawn, and has not been created into
forest reserves, it shall Immediately be
restored to the public domain. 1t also
provides that no reserve or withdrawal
made for forestry purposes in Idaho
shall include sections Is or 36. title to
which was in the United States at the
date of the admission of Idaho into the
Union. 1t further stipulates that no
forest reserves shall be created in Idaho
to include land heretofore classified as
mineral.
The effect OF this bill, if enacted,
would be absolutely to put stop to
forest reserve extension in Idaho, but,
like Mr.. Heyburn's other forestry
bills, it will not pass.
Mr.. Hepburn also introduced bill
appropriating 100000 for the survey
of all unsurveyed public land in Idaho.
Mr.. Hepburn says Idaho's development
is being retarded by reason of the fact
that only one-third of the state has
been surveyed. Furthermore, the lack
of surveys makes it impossible for the
state to perfect many of its selections
made under various special grants.

Reserve Policy Live Issue.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Hey
burns three hour speech in denuncia-
tion of President Roosevelt's forest re-
serve policy will probably have the
effect of making forest reserves live
issue which must be met and disposed
of by congress at the present session.
The speech of the Idaho senator was a
full and complete argument on the eide
of the opposition; it WAS severe in its
arraignments; it was caustic in it's
criticisms.

Too old to go on workin,
And then he hopes that none of u.

For pa when he gets older.

Must Pay Wages for Shutdown

Warsaw, Russian Poland. Feb. 10
Considerable comment has beea caused
by the judgment of the communal court
at Widzewo. near Lodz, ordering the
Coates Thread factory to pay the wages
of 500 employees during the ten weeks
the factory was closed. The works
shut down November 80 and a shortage
of coal was given as the reason for do
ing so. The court in rendering judy
ment said it was not lack of coal, but
the high price of coal which induced
the closing, and found that this was
not a good reason.

Thursday, February Is.

Washington, Feb. Is. - The senate
today passed to the consideration of the
Joint statehood bill and for an hour
and half listened to speech by Dick
in support of the bill as reported from
the committee on territories.
The bill prohibiting the unauthorized
wearing OF the insignia Of the G. A. r.
and other soldier organizations was
passed.
Bills were passed establishing light
houses and fog signals on Cape Hinch-
inbrook island, William sound and
Cape Spencer, Cross sound, in Alaska.
Washington, Feb. Is. - "Morning
hour" prevailed in the house today
until after o'clock. The net result
was the passage of bill to increase to
$50, 900 year the Federal appropria-
ton to each state and territory for the
support Of agricultural experiment
stations and bill repeating the present
law granting American register to for
eign ships wrecked and repaired on the
American coast in the discretion of the
secretary Ct the department of Com
merce and Labor, and requiring spe-
cial act of congress TO grant such regis
ter.
The feature Of the day was the at
tempt of Payne, chairman of the ways
and means committee, to get his bill
for the consolidation of customs collec-
ton districts A furious opposition
developed and by roll call large ma
jority voted against considering the
bill. Again, when the Experiment sta
ton bill came up, the debate reverted
into the PAYNE bill, and it was with
difficulty that it could be brought to
an end.
An indirect compliment was paid to
Longworth by vote to adjourn today
until Monday, although nothing will
appear in the record of it's purpose.
