to bolster up the arguments of the prohibitionists. Among the famous medical authorities on the program for addresses are Professor Laiteven of Helsingfors, Dr. Legrain of Paris
 and Dr. Gladelius of Stockholm, who will discuss alcohol in it's relation to degenracy and insanity. Prominent railroad officials will tell how the use of alcohol by railway employees has cost many lives, and army officers will describe the effects of alcohol upon soldiers.
 The congress will be unusual and significant in that no appeal will be made to sentiment, religion nor mor- ality, and the entire argument for the abolition of alcohol will be based on grounds of national self-interest and the maintenance of the supremacy of the white races.

 CONSUMPTION

Omaha, Neb., July 26.-A disease which naturalists declare to be akin to tuberculosis is prevalent among the quail and grouse in portions of Nebraska and thousands of the birds are dying, threatening com nlete extinction. The ailment at tacks the lungs of the Bob Whites resulting in congestion and ulcera- tion. Many people believe that rose buds eaten by the birds caused their death but this is declared to be mistake by ornithologists who have investigated the matter.

GREEN BUGS
 WORK HAVOC

Des Moines, Iowa, July 26.-The dreaded Kansas green bug has left it's reservation in the suntlower state and is now on the warpath i'll the wheat and oat fields of Iowa and Minnesota. According to reports re- ceived here from various parts ot the state, the ravages of the insect will make much of the crop so worthless that it will never be cut. Many of the fields of late grain have turned brownish in color ana only stand from four to six inches in height. All the strength has been sapped and the heads will never i'll out. The bugs are especially fond of late oats and little ot the late seeded oats will be harvested.

CLOTHES THIEF IS
FINALLY RUN DOWN

Yesterday the police located large
part of the goods stolen some weeks
ago from the clothes cleaning shop of
A. Gumbes, a number of garments be-
ing rescued from a Japanese store on
River street. The police have been
working on this case since it was first
reported, their attentions gradually
centering about A. n: Ahin, a regular
attendant of the Christian church and
a Conspicuous patron of the Chinese
Y. NJ. c. A rooms. He was arrested
and his room searched, resulting in the
finding of some of the stolen goods.
A large number of the garments had
been carefully taken into their several
parts, preparatory to being made over
into smaller sized clothes and remov-
ing all possibility of their being after
wards identified.

ALEwA ROAD WORK.

1t was resolved that the Road Super
visor should commence at once on the
construction of the road to the Alewi,
section, where forty-five taxpayers
have purchased building lots that are
bounded by a pali,'' as explained by
w. w. Thayer, who headed delega-
ton to urge such action. A letter from
the Superintendent of Public Works
had informed the Board that there
was available sS7S407 for the work in
the Territorial funds, upon which the
county could draw. Tenders for the
work had been called for by the De-
partment, but the lowest bid submit
ted had been that of the Concrete
Construction Co. for s717O, more than
could be put into the work even il
all the Alewa lots were sold.

be paid twice a month carried over
Hustace s head, although the Chair
voted in the affirmative after register

'IWhen it comes to a question of
road work I will always vote aye, y
said Hustace, after the noses had been
counted.
The question of street oiling brought
forth an objection from Archer, who
stated that to oil the streets now was
a waste of money, the rains washing
the oil away.
"We spent three hundred dollars oil
ing around the fshmarket three months
ago. but if you look around there you
can It see one oil, . he explained.
''Before We vote to do any more

TRENT VERSUS OLSON.

A communication from County Treas
urer Trent notified the Board that the
county money had been deposited in
the banks in accordance with the reso-
luton of the Board, directing him what
to do. The communication said in end
ing:
"Having been advised thats this ac-
ton on the part of the Board of Super
visors absolves the County Treasurer
and. his bondsmen from any liability on
account of deposits so made, | shall be
happy to avail myself of the authority
so granted.
With this conclusion ON the part of
the Treasurer, the Deputy County At
torney disagreed, in an opinion render
ed stating that the authority given by
the Board regarding the disposition of
the public funds was not obligatory on
the Treasurer A part of the opinion
said:
with the latter proposition l cannot
agree Section 100 above quoted spec1-
fically provides that for deposits made
pursuant to its terms, which under the
view hereinbefore expressed covers
any deposits that may be made pur-
suant to the said resolution, the Coun-
| ty Treasurer shall be liable
on his official bond In any event,
whether or not the view that the ap-
prevail of the Board to such deposits Is
required is correct, in my opinion the
resolution passed by the Board coulc
not relieve the Treasurer or his sure
ties from their obligations under theil
bond. The Board of Supervisors Is
given no power to affect the othcla
bonds of other county officers. Ii the
approval of the Board was not required
to the legality of the deposits referred
to in the resolution, the resolution
which is simply an authorization anC
not a direction, is therefore simply de
void of any effect"

be swept into the pulse and stir of sweet sound to
lose herself softly In the dreams of the present
moment where she need not think.
1t was n vain effort She could not escape the
knowledge that the friend of her childhood, the
first lover Of her girlhood beside her. she felt
her soul straighten and rise to Its own hrm healthy
height and shake itself free from dim and vague
enc ctions; life seemed big and sane and sweet.
Looking at Reaux she felt herself eternally remote
from him and from his kind. She tore herself
from the soft relentessness of the musicians de-
pendencc upon her tenderness and strength. She
discerned pitilessly, and discerning, saw what she
could have wished not to see.
She deliberately recalled every look and word
and gesture of the man; remembered the evening
functions where they had met and later the long
evenings at her home-his rich voice in her ears
his white fingers on the strings of the instrument
he So loved, his dark eyes fixed upon her face
She recalled his worshipful statements of what
she could be- was to him, and for him, and with
him. Always that-always his ambition. Was it
q love based like much worship, on selfsh desiresf
Was it love with any greatness Of soul An it? Or
was Ellis right?
Though it hurt little to do so, she relentlessly
stripped Reaux of his art Would he be man
without it? What would he be without his supple
white hands? She saw vanity in every gesture
and in his face that air of public modesty which
Is the bravado of self-confessed weakness. There
was sef-indugence, and sensual curve in the
red lips beneath the overtrained little moustacne,
Did she want this man? From him she turned to
the boy musician, the sweet purity of whose face
in itself victory; he could lose his power to
play with sounds and still some day be man in
all the word could mean. The recognized con-
trast brought trouble and decision into her eyes.
AS the finale rang out Ellis turned and looked
down at her. He smiled
"Janet-don't be afraid of anything-not even
Of yourself. I want to ask you something-only
you need not answer save to yourself. Has that
man ever touched you? Could you let him? Some
how should not want him to-
She started as from blow. Touch her! He
never had. And she knew that if he so much
as touched her with finger she should hate him
and herself. Had he known that touch would
break the spell he had laid upon her. and for that
reason refraned? Ellis would even lift and carry
her on occasion and she was scarcely conscious of
him: but with an innate physical fastidiousness
she shrank from the thought Of Reaux' nearness

No more unhealthy illusions
Someone had raised the curtains and the bright
winter sunlight made the candles seem sicky and
garish. The windows opened to LET ont the
smoke and breath of bracing wind struck her full
in the face. The danger was over and those who
had not incontinently fed gathered about In svm
pathetic curiosity Between Janet and Reaux ami
Ellis Field the air had been overcharged with mean
ing all the afternoon. Now the girl stood waiting
1t had all happened in moment, and Reaux was
Fastening to her. He had intended to take both
her hands, but somehow the look in her ewes
deferred his dramatic intention She crippled his
power to act He could seem nothing he was NOT
though he braved attempt, speaking beneath
his breath but still audby enough to establish his
public claim upon her attention. He meant Ellis
whoever he was, to understand that the girl was
his.
'Ah, beautiful one-I grieve that 1t was not
mine to save you-that l must let this gentle
nlan'--wth bow to Ellis, who scarcely looked at
him and kept a hand on Janets arm-"that must
let this gentleman take my place lest play for
you no more--as / have played this day. 1t was
not I who played, but Mademoiselle" This with
q glance at his listeners.
Those about were still insisting that some one
must have been hurt, that Janet should lie down.
and Ellis was steadfastly refusing to let Mrs Hart
ley bandage his hands, which slightly burned
thanks to his own skill and quickness He would
not have felt burns far more severe, for great
joy filled him. He had held Janet in his arms and
mad felt her yield to his clasp with confidence
which his heart told him was not all fear. He
knew she had clung to him a refuge from more
than the dread of flames.
Janet still turned from Reaux The bow
stopped and from beneath Elliss foot picked the
red rose 1t was crushed and broken, but it had
been in her hand; he held it decately and passed
it to her.
Your rose" His smile made the beautiful
race still more beautiful and she gave him the
full sweetness of her black-lashed gray eyes
But she did not want the flower.
81 am afraid the poor rose has had its day."
she said, with a slow meaning that did not escape
Reaux. But he chose to ignore it. He would get
her away from this blue-eyed disturbing young
and again master her moods to his will. He
would wait.
"It is who will accompany you home, Made
moiselle."
II thank you Monsieur, but fear not No, Mrs.
