WE'VE HAD

the most troublesome time of our lives since last week. If there ever was a sorry man in Waterbury 1t was the man who writes our ads. you see we wrote Santa Claus to send us a whole lot of dolls, sleds, etc, for Christmas, and Santa Claus said he'd send them. But he mas been at the telephone talking to Us every half hour since. He wants to know where all the good little boys and girls live and what's their names and how old they are. We'll, we've told him where every kid m town lives, so that part of 1t IS settled. But he continues to ask other ques- tions. He wants to know who are all the living saints that Mayor Thoms is going to put on his new boards shortly. He saJs the lion William is to be congratulated on finding the required number ol saints" in the city of Waterbury. Well, we didn't tell Santa Claus we were sorry to see him so mistaken in regard to his opinion of Water bury politicians Calling them saints" oh me, oh my). But poor Santa Claus, as tired as he is, he asked questions for two hours about our board of health. He wants to know are they sleeping; he hasn't heard of them taking another trip of inspection a few hundred miles away. He kinda thinks they have not got over the last trip. He's well aware they are not good tea drink CTS. If they were they'd have a new creamatory, the best in the state, built by this time, Remember, if you want your brain to act quick. drink the kind of tea and coffee sold at

the two first floors of the new Hi.
torical building. This has been finally
decided by the executive council. The
state librarian, Johnstan Brigham,
convinced the council that the library
will need all the space on the first
and second floor and that with less
space 1t will be crowded and lack
room for expansion. The library adds
about 5000 volumes each year and
even the first and second floor will in
a decade or little more be filled and
found insufficient.
1t was expected at first that the
archives department would be given
the second floor. 1t is now determ-
ined that the archives department Will
have to be taken care Of elsewhere.
The moving Of the library to the
new quarters, which was to have taken
place this week is being delayed by
the nonarrival of the furniture. The
decorations are also not entirely COM
pleted. AS soon as the furniture ar
rives the moving will begin. When
located in it's new quarters the library
will have as well fitted rooms as there
is anywhere In the country. All the
stacks and cases are of steel. The
desks and other furniture will be OF
the usual office furniture style but the
central distributing desk will be SUI
>perior to anything outside of New
York city 1t will cost $1,000, and will
be a combined desk and card index and
card catalog file.

Muscatine, Dec. 5.-The double mur-
der Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Van Winkla
or tairport, may be a means OF un-
covering another of Iowa's most rnys-
terious tragedies, and show that Har-
ry Jones, accused of the Van Wink.e
crime, is guilty Of the murder Of NJ.
and Mrs. w. Toman.
Both crimes were committed within
a half mile of Fairport, and the cases
are parallel. All four people wers
killed during the night by demon
who dubbed them to death. Jones was
known to have been at Fairport on the
day OF the Toman murder, and was lot
seen again for two years.
1t is now thought that Jones is in
hiding in the woods near the Toman
cottage, and the sheriff with posse
OF fifty men are securing ths heavy
timber In that vicln.ty. NJ trace LIS
been found II tne eSclpius5 fugitive,
but all cities III th5, west have peen
notified. The sheriff If Rock Island
county is also searching across the
Mississippi river f;,r the man.
Late Tuesday night Jones, who is a
worthless fisherman, told Brewer and
one or two others that he was going
to the Van Wrinkle. home. He came
into F'airport late in the day from
Muscatine, drunk and i'll the vicious
mood in which drink usually puts him.

nights lodging, but was refused be-
cause Of his condition and his nasty
temper. He remarked that he would
go to the Van Wrinkles because they
always took him. This was the last
seen Of him. 1t is presumed that he
went to the Van Wrinkle home and
that he was taken in by them, for a
second bed in the sleeping room had
been occupied during the night.
What motive prompted the crime is
a mystery. When the bloody hand
mark on the marriage certificate was
found, it was reported that Jones was
a disappointed suitor of Mrs. Van
Wrinkles hand, and that the blotting
Of blood was bit Of devilish pleas
antry. But those who know Mrs.
Van Winkle deny this. Jones did not
know her until Van Wrinkle brought
her here as bride two months ago
from Oquakee, Ill. She was but a girl.

a tramp fisherman, and generally ac-
knowledged hard citizen. There was
nothing in common between them. Th3
accepted explanation is found
in Jones' demonical temper and MUIR
n
carouses were always attended by
fights, and he usually threatened to
kill some one, and several times made
the attempt. 1t is presumed that he
became possessed Of a murderous pas
sion and arose while the Van Wrinkles
slept to satisfy it.

following statement regarding the fafl-
ure of the National Bank of Commerce
at Kansas City: The comptrollers OF
flee has been advised that the officers
and directors of the bank decided not
to open the doors today, and requested
the national bank examiner to take
charge until their assets could be real
ized on, when there is strong hope
that the bank may be able to resume.
This bank is one of the largest IN the
west, and in September last had about
s34 100000 in deposits. Something ike
$22, 900 900 Of this was due to other
banks. The failure is doubtless due
to calls which were made on the Bank
of Commerce for these banking bal
ances and their inability to realize on
their assets quickly enough to meet
them. 1t is too early for the comp
trollers office to give any details OF the
failure, but it is hoped the bank will
be found solvent so depositors can be
paid in full, If the bank is not able
to resume"

FEAR SAFETY OF TORPEDO BOAT
Little War Vessels Would Have Hard

Of the Big Battleships Reach Hamp-
ton Roads Since Tuesday-Anxiety
+ Over Fate Of Sailing Vessels.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 5.-The wind
reached velocity at Cape Henry III
last nights coast storm of sixty miles
an hour. 1t blew from the northwest
and drove seaward rather than to-
wards the shore any vessels that may
have been caught in its teeth. NO
wrecks have been reported from the
coast. The wind was at hurricane We
locity, and carried before it everything
movable on shore, and it is feared
much havoc was wrought at sea, es-
pecially among sailing vessels.
Vessels in port for the day or two
had warning and did not put to sea.
The United States governments sea
coast telegraph wires from Cape Henry
southwark are not working and no
word could be had today from the
Cape Hatteras section. Weather OBJ
server Newsom, at Cape Henry, re-
ported this morning that none Of the
battleships of the Atlantic-Paciflc
bound fleet had passed the Virginia
Capes since the arrival Of the Louis
lana on Tuesday. Several big battle
ships are heading for Hampton Roads
from northern ports, and had severe
experiences if they were caught within
the radius of last nights gale. The
severity of the gale has caused some
anxiety to be felt for the safety Of the
six little vessels composing the Pacific
bound second fotilla of torpedo boat
destroyers, which sailed from Hamp-
ton Roads Monday for San Juan.

Won euELow MAY QUIT.
Attacked in Reichstas, He Demands
Protection From Liberals.

Protection From Liberals.
Berlin, Dec. 5.-The policy of the i'm
perial chancellor, Prince Won Buelow,
Of governing by q coalition of the
national liberals, the radicals and the
conservatives, appear to be seriously
endangered by the attack delivered
upon the government by DR.. Herman
S. Paasche, first vice president of the
reichstag, and one Of the national lib
eral leaders, in the matter Of the Har-
den-Von Moltke scandal, as well as on
the proposed financial measures.
Prince Won Buelow has given the
leaders Of the so-called "bloc" to un-
derstand that the situation which has
arisen embarrasses him. He caused
dissolution Of the reichstag year ago
upon assurances that the parties of the
"bloc" would support him, but today
he is suddenly and unexpectedly at
tackled, and he asks what may be ex-
pected of the future. The imperial
chancellor distinctly intimated that he
would resign unless he was adequately
supported.

OPPOSED TO PARCEL POST.
Northwest Also Antagonistic to Res
duced Merchandise Postal Rates.


Spokane, Wash, Dec. 5.-Reduction
of the present merchandise postal rate
from 16 to IL cents a pound, and the
parcel post system as advocated by
Postmaster General George Won l.
Meyer, are not favored in the Pacific
northwest. This opposition took defin-
lite form at public meetings of the
Spokane chamber Of commerce, tho
Spokane Merchants association and
the Spokane Grocers' association. The
resolutions point out that the parcels
post would be harmful to the whole
sale and retail interests of the coun-
try, would retard the development OF
the west, kill or severely cripple the
rural merchant, discourage and pre-
vent the establishment Of factories Of
many kinds in the west where the
wages are higher than in the east, that
such legislation would directly favor
the large trade centers and catalog
houses at the expense of the small
towns; resulting in running the home
market for the farmer, the result be-
ing injury instead of benefit. The res-
olutions add:
1--WE hereby place ourselves on rec
ord as opposed to such legislation and
request our senators and congressman
to work and vote against any and all
such bills"
The chamber of commerce favored
the establishment Of postal savings
banks, provided the Swings deposited
with the postoffice are redeposited by
the government in the nearest nation
al bank government depositary, and
that every national bank be designated
as government depositary when such
bank has complied with the rules and
regulations governing the same, also
that the government shall accept state.
county and municipal bonds as securi-
ty for all savings so deposited.
