ADVERTISING CITIES.

In the current number of Sunset
Magazine, 10 Pacific coast cities and
communities carry large display ad-
vertisements of their resources. These
advertisements are written to attract
attention to those communities and
there is no question as to the good
results which will come to those pro-
gressive places, from their advertise
ments.
Among the places prominently ad-
vertised are Medford and Coos Bay,
Ore, and Santa Cruz, San Jose, San
Diego, Contra Costa, Watsonville,
Yuba City and Marysville, Cal.
Advertising has become a recognized
business and cities in many places
carry a regular public fund for this
purpose. 1t is considered a legitimate
public expense. Cities must have
homeseekers and capital, and the only
logical way to get the best class is to
advertise in reputable journals just as
private industries advertise.
Homeseekers have come to look for
advertisements and they invariably go
where the best INDUCEMENTS are Of
fered. They "pass up the place that
does not hang out its sign."

THE TURKISH CRESCENT.

The Turks adopted the crescent as
the emblem of their country when
they captured Byzantium. Before
Turkish reign prevailed in that city
1t was besieged by Philip of Mace
don, who after being repeatedly baf-
fled in its capture, formed a night at
tack in hope OF finding the garrison
off guard
Just as the troops of Phillip were
advancing, the moon shoon out
brightly and revealed the attack to
the beselged, who repulsed 1t. After
this the crescent was adopted as the
badge of the city, and when Byzan-
tium fell to the Turks they found 1t
hung in every public square. Believ-
ing II to possess some magical pow
er, they adopted 1t themselves, and
It afterwards became the emblem Of
the Turkish empire.

there was no great cause Of anxiety. Business

THE WHITLEY MURDER.
Rayners Reputed Father Diso5ons
Parentage-Coroner's Verdict.

London, Jan. 2S.-It now seems doubtful
whether the mystery surrounding the killing Of
William Whiteley the we'll known westbourne
Grove merchant, on January "a will ever be
unravelled. According TO the latest develop
ments, however It is thought possible that thers
may be some truth In the story told by Horace
George Rayner, who shot wliteley, regarding
his parentage Rayner's reputed father has at
last come forward with a statement through
his solicitor to the press in which he declares
that the murderer has no right to any name
other than that OF his mother. spinster named
Emily Turner. who is now dead:
It appears that some thirty years ago White
ley and the elder Rayner who were then inti-
mate friends were both paying attention to two
sisters Emily and Louie Turner, the latter
being an assistant al Whiteley's emporium. Two
children were alleged to have been born to
Emily, who, however. subsequently confessed
with regard to the first child that Rayner was
not its father On this account Rayner virtually
renudiated being the father of the second child
though he accepted the responsibility of parent
age. It this alleged son who shot and
killed Whiteey.
A verdict of wilfu murder was rendered by
a coroner's Jury this morning against Horace
George Rayner who shot and killed William
Whiteley on January "a. Few additional facts
were brought out at the inquest. The sons and
the old employees of the murdered man testified
that they had never heard OF Rayner before the
day Of the tragedy. witness. testfying to the
events Immediately prior to the shooting, said
he heard Rayner say to Mr.. whiteley:

and the merchant fell dead without uttering
sound.
The inspector in charge of the case said that
all the evidence pointed to blackmai He added
that he had searched Mr.. Whiteley's papers,
but had not discovered trace of anything re-
lating to Rayner Among the prisoners papers

TWO HUNDRED KILLED
Explosion In PruSsian Mine-Fhe
Hampers Rescue.

saarbrucken. Rhenish Prussia. Jan. 2s.-A
fredamp explosion occurred at s o'clock this
morning in the Reden coal mine at St. Johann
On-Saar, opposite this town, and caused the loss
of from $50 to 200 lives. The mine is owned
by the Prussian government.
Up to 6 o'clock this evening seventy-seven
bodies had been brought to the surface, and
ffty-six corpses were known TO be still under
ground Only fifty live men, up to the present
time, have been brought out. and OF these the
doctors say at least thirty-fve will surely die.
as they are frightfuly injured, having been
hurled against the walls Of the galleries by
the force Of the explosion.
An official report given out this evening says
the number Of dead cannot exceed 160.
Rescue parties were hurried from all the adj
jacent mines and boldly entered the Reden
shaft IN great numbers. The work has been
greatly hampered by the poisonous gases result
ing from the explosion and by a fierce fire, which
broke out after the explosion. IN the after
noon the efforts at rescue had to be suspended
for these reasons. and the workers were ordered
out Of the mine. After all the rescuers had
reached daylight, according to one version, n
second heavy detonatlon heard under
ground. According to another report, many Of
the rescuers were stlll below when the second
explosion occurred. and 1t is estimated that the
Casualty nSl from the TWO cApIOSAoH5 EedSuSo a
total Of three hundred men.
1t ia regarded as certain that the lowest levels
Of the mines are completely wrecked. and the
inspectors discussing further measures 70
get control of the fire. The managers think
that flooding these levels is the only means OF
extinguishing the flames. 1t is believed that
all the men who were in the lower levels are
dead. It Will take full week TO enter and
explore the mine.
The explosion occurred $500 feet under
ground and quarter miles from the floor
of the shaft It is the greatest mining accident
ever known in the Saar region.
About six hundred men entered the mine for
the day shift, but about four hundred OF them
escaped through the Bildstock shaft. which
communicates with the Reden underground.
The entrance 20 the galleries underground Is
blocked with dead horses.
Heartrending scenes are witnessed among the
thousands of persons. mostly members OF the
families of the entombed miners who are gath
cred about the mouth OF the shaft. Most of the
bodies brought 10 tho surface are mangled be-
yond recognition
The mine inspectors this evening ordered the
rescuers to return TO their homes, but TO hold
themselves in readiness for further orders.
Emperor William has ordered that full re-
port Of the disaster be sent him.
Experts calculate that the rescue work viii
take one week.
