BURNS TOWN To SATISFY
REVENGE.

WADSWORTH, New, July ga
fire that was started in front of the
Crosby saloon here Sunday morning
at 4 O'Clock by Scott Lauver, who
sought revenge for supposed injus-
tice done him months ago, de-
stroyed eleven business places and
residences, caused several narrow
escapes from death and threatened
TO burn up the whole town.
Lauver deliberately built up a fire
on the sidewalk in front of Crosby'5
place and then went away.
The buildings destroyed are:
George Nichalus' saloon.
Justice David Warsheim's office.
The postofice.
The Chinese bakery and res
taurant.

DR.. Richardson of Ely.
The total loss is estimated at $25,
900, and the only insurance is that
On the stock in Griswold's store, the
only damage to which was caused by
smoke.
Lauver, who caused the loss, was
arrested at / o'clock, and con-
fessed to the ineendiarism. After
Constable Milo Crosby, uncle of the
owner OF the saloon. against whom
Lauver holds a grudge, obtained the
admission of guilt. the constable had
to work hard to prevent some of the
excited residents from removing the
prisoner from the Jail, and infiicting
summary punishment on him.
His capture and subsequent con-
fession formed the exciting climax to
one of the most eventful periods in
the history of this place. Suspicion

when arrested, he stoutiy maintained
his innocence. His peculiar actions,
the knowledge of his hatred for Cros-
by, and the fact thar the fire
was started on the sidewalk in front
Of Crosby's saloon added TO the sus-
of the property-owners, how
ever, and Lauver was pressed to
ell his reason for committing the
Iced. Finally he told the story.
He said he had not liked Crosby

day after the robbery. He said that
she was drunk, but he would not say
as to whether her condition was due
to Knockout drops or not.
The district attorney, in his OPEN
ing address, outlined clearly each
INK in the chain of circumstantial
evidence which the prosecution had
wove around the two defendants.
The first link was the fact that Eta
Cole had the brooch and ring of
Mrs. Kinks and when Carberry went
to her she denied having the ring.
but when he searched her it was
found hidden in her corset cover,
Then the woman begged Carberry
not to give the ring back to Mrs.
kirk, but asked the officer to sell it
and split up the sum derived with
her. Eta Cole was shortly after ar
rested and Frank Hart Immediately
set about to get her out of the scrape.
Attorney Gibbons made a very eff
fective plea for the defendants in his
closing argument. Mr.. Gibbons
dwelt at considerable length on the
fact that Eta Cole could not have
committed the robbery as she did not
leave the Side Line bar while Mrs.
was there.
The district attorney commenced
closing address to the Jury at
and talked for forty-fve min
utes. He said in part; Il have re-
to the highest grain of circum-
evidence to bring about the
conviction of this couple and no bet
testimony could be offered than
of Ross Edwards. He saw Mrs.
go into the back room with
Hart with all her jewels on and saw
her several minutes later with out

MANS USEFULNESS
INCREASES WITH AGE

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Hale and
hearty in spite of his seventy years,
Andrew Carnegie, standing beside the
table piled with messages of congrat-
uIation on his birthday, gave a rule
for happiness. The rule was this:
ITO obey the judge within and make
others happy
If the Judge within gives you a
clean verdict We have no other judge
TO fear here or hereafter.
But, after satisfying that judge,
above all else the way to be happy is
to make others happy"
! Can a man accomplish as much at
seventy as at forty?" he was asked
q More, bless you, more" replied Mr..
Carnegie.
"All things being equal, mans ef-
,.fclency, is increased at seventy. He
is equipped with greater experience.
The world is growing better and it
follows that the men in it grow bet
ter as they grow older ] have here
on my wall two rules which young
men should bear in mind" Mr.. Car
negie pointed to opposite sides OF the
study, where were emblazoned in let
ters of gilt:
Thine own reproach alone do
fear" F
All is well since all grows better
4 Mr.. Carnegie was asked Wnen
is mans usefulness rlpe?
When he has attained to the high
est degree of perfection of which he
is capable" was the reply
rThis means that IL he conserves
his physical and mental powers he will
be ripest when he has attained long
life At seventy / am convinced that
mans Usefulness increases with age.
Kindness Between man and man Is
showing broadening tendency. 1t
undoubtedly is not given to man to
explain why sickness and poverty and
sin are necessary in the order OF
things. 1t has not been explained to
us why the law OF evolution obtains,
providing that the higher form of life
live upon the lower. And since 1t Is
not given to US to understand, 1t is
better that we bow our heads in recog'
milton of the mandate, Thy will be
DONE"

WASHINGTON Nov. Is The an
nouncement by Secretary Cortelyou
last night that further subscriptions
to the one year certificates would not
be received is regarded here as fndi,
eating that the Secretary considers
the crisis to be practically over. or.
fetal figures have not been given out
at the Treasury of the amount allot-
ted, nor has it been stated whether
further allotments would be made for
subscriptions already received. The
amount of allotments made, however,
is to be about $35,0OO,OOO, and this is
probably the limit, unless strong rea'
sons are presented from banks which
have already made subscriptions why
allotments should be made to them.
All individual subscriptions having
been rejected, 1t is anticipated that
nearly the whole Of the $35,000,0OO
allotted will be used to secure new
issues of bank notes AS these issues
will be retired within less than a year,
they will not constitute permanent
imitation of the bank note circulation
The effect of the new loans upon
the future of the Treasury resources
and of the money market Is already
receiving attention at the Treasury
and in banking circles From pres
ent sources of information, the amount
nominally added to the cash balance
of the Treasury will be about $685.

the other is doubtful
The defense retaliated by announc-
ing it would challenge the entire sec
ond Grant County venire which report
ed yesterday for jury service on the
ground of .irregularity and partisan

general challenge was based on the
alleged partisan action of Deputy Sher-

who accompanied the Sheriff's party.
Over the objection of the Common
wealth the motion and afidavits ten
dered by the defense challenging the
second Grant County venire were al
lowd to be filed. The court granted

Three hundred teachers will be
needed in the Philippines early next

will be held by the United States

In his address at the opening OF the
Philippine Assembly, Secretary Tart
said that one of the greatest obstacles
to the development Of the Philippines
was the lack of a common language.
In noting the Improvement as the re-
suit of the school system, he said:
st is not an exaggeration to assert
that now more native Filipinos speak
English than Spanish, although Span
ish was the language Of the ruling
race in these islands; for more than
$50 years. The strongest basis for
our confidence in the future or the
Filipino people is the eagerness WIN
which the opportunities extended for
education in English have been seized
by the poor and ignorant parents o.
these islands for their children. 1t
is alike pathetic and encouraging"
