Japs Try to Steal Indian Wives.

San Francisco.-Employes of the
Alaska Packers Association who re-
turned here upon the ship Star Of
Chile bring the report that a number
of Japanese cannery hands at Egegk
made raid upon an Indian village
near that camp last June and attempt
ed to carry off several of the native
women.
The Japanese evidently believed the
men of the settlement were out fish
ing, but in this they were mistaken,
for after the raiders had caught and
gagged two or three of the women they
were discovered by number of bucks,
who set up loud howl and at once
proceeded to repel the Japanese.
In attempting to get away with the
captives the Japanese are said to have
run between two hills where the snow
was deep and rapid travel was impos-
sible.
This proved their undoing, for the
Indians descended upon them with
guns and clubs and would have killed
the six or eight raiders if the latter
had not deserted their victims and
hurried of. The Indians later, it is
said. made complaint to the men in
charge of the cannery camp.

Marriage and Society.

The fundamental character Of 80
Geological point Of view Is that 1t looks
ahead To the sociologist the individ-
ual is nothing as an Individual he is
concerned with the life of society,
which outlives many generations Of
individuals. This it is which endows
marriage with Its supreme impor-
lance for him. He leaves 1t with the
psychologist to inquire as to the COM
parative worth Of marriage and other
forms of sex relation to the individu-
al; but he must inquire as to its in
fluence upon the future life Of the So
ciety in which 1t occurs. Marriage
vindicates itself in his eyes because
for the young generation. whose bust
ness 1t Is to continue the life Of sooi-
ETY.. Thus the sociologist looks with
entirely distinct interest upon the two
kinds of marriages. The childless mar
riage is doubtless of interest to the
psychologist-the student of charac-
ter; but 1t matters scarcely anything
at all for the sociologist, for 1t signi-
fes nothing for the future. True, 1t is
a social relation, but, SO far as he Is
concerned. 1t amounts to nothing more
than that two persons, who happen to
be of opposite sexes, live in the same
house and arrange their finances joint
ly. 1t is the appearance of baby that
vitality interests the sociolqkist, re-
marks DR.. c. W. Saleeby, In Harms
worth Self-Educator, for now he has
to consider not merely a marriage, but
a marriage leading to the family. In
this respect he is like nature. She,
also, is careless of the single life,'
and for those who are not parents,
whether they be married or unmar-
ried, she cares little or nothing. Her
supreme interest" as the present
writer has said elsewhere, SIS with
those chosen individuals upon whose
character and behavior. as upon no
other factor in the universe, the whole
future OF the race depends"

Babes smothered In Grain.

Hastings, Neb.-Two children Of H.
H. Mohlnan, aged two and five years,
respectil ety. were instantly killed in
a peculiar manner at the farm home
of Fred Grothen, five miles northwest
OF this city.
Mohlman was assisting Grothen in
scooping grain from wagon to the
bin after hauling it from the machine.
When the children came from the
home across the road they sat down
in the shade Of the granary while the
men were emptying the wagon.
The children had been seated but a
moment on the ground, when the side
Of the big bin, containing 1000 bush
els Of wheat, gave way, covering the
babies several feet in depth, and be-
fore the grain could be shoveled away
both we're dead.
There are four other children in the
family. one younger and three older
than the two deceased.

Married the Wrong Twin.

Paris, Nl.-Mrs. Ada Thomas OF
Chrisman, Edgar county, complainant
in a suit for divorce against Calvin
Thomas. declares that she was tricked
into marrying the defendant, who
closely resembles his twin brother, AL
vim Thomas, and that she did not dis
cover the mistake until after the mar
riage ceremony.
After a courtship lasting about three
months Mrs. Thomas says she made an
appointment to meet Alvin here, and
they were to go to Charleston to marry.
1t develops that Alvin's ardor had
cooled and he sent Calvin to meet his
fiancee at the train.
Mrs. Thomas states that she had not
the slightest suspicion of the deception.
and that when Calvin expressed a will
ingness to go to Charleston that night
she consented. Mrs. Thomas discov-
cred that she had been duped when she
happened to see the twins together
upon her return here the next day. AT
ter two years of unhappy married life
with the wrong twin she sued for her
freedom.

Union Pacific Cutoff a Certainty.

Denver.-The long rumored cutoff
to be constructed by the Union Pasific
between Denver and Cheyenne at a
cost Of about 81 100000 has at last been
decided upon and camps are now being
established with the expectation of
having the new line completed before
the first of the year. The cutoff will
be seventeen miles long, starting near
Carr and running northeast to Borie,
Wyo, three miles south of Corlett. con-
Meeting with the Wyoming division
four and one-half miles west of Chey-
enne. 1t will eliminate the principal
curves and heavy grades between Den
yer and Cheyenne.
The work in some sections will be
unusually heavy. There will be 220,-
900 cubic yards of roadbed excavation
necessary and there will be 10000 Gu
bic yards Of solid rock to be removed.
In addition to this there will be 100000
cubic yards of embankment. The larg-
esc fill will be 2,700 feet long and As
feet high. When completed three new
stations will be established on the new
line. The cutoff will enable the COM
pany to operate between Denver and
the west at a considerable saving over
former cost on account of the heavy
grade over Athol hill.
