A Lake Of Burning Ice.

"Cold? Then We'll set fire to some
ice and warm ourselves"
The speaker made, with the heel OF
his skate, hole in the ice. He ap-
piled a match to the hole. The ice
blazed up instantly with a hot, bright
flame.
ooh, how good it feels" said the
young girl. She removed her gloves
to warm her slim hands the better.
But isn't it rather odd" she said,
''to warm ones hands at fire Of
! ice?"
.You are stranger to Atchison, !"
said the young Kansan, cor you
wouldn't find it odd We are used to
it here. Always, when we skate on
Lake Doniphan, we set the ice afire II
we are cold"
She watched her own little fire.
"What is the explanation of this
miracle?" she said.
"a very simple one," added the
young man. '"This lake i full of natu-
raj gases. When it freezes over, gas
in the form of bubbles impregnates the
ice. You have only to burst open a
bubble and put match to it. and p
bubble and put match to 1t, and up
shoots magical flame"
"wonderful" said the young girl.
"What a fine thing it would be If the
ice of all skatig ponds could be i'm
pregnated in this way with gas Then
skaters would never need be cold"

Enemy, Colonel Murphy.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 23-unlted
States Senator Jeff Davis was as
saulted in a street car Saturday night
by Colonel George w. Murphy, former
attorney general, and Davis most bit
ter enemy, politically and personally.
The story told by bystanders is
that Murphy was on a street car Ell
route home at 6 p. M, when Senator
Davis stopped the car and started TO
board it. With a few words Colonei
Murphy characterized the recent act
ions of the senator as cowardly and
proceeded to punish the senator with
a walking cane.
Senator Davis lost his footing on
the car and fell to the ground, rolling
into the gutter.
Davis was not badly injured, but
it is reported that his expressions re-
garding his old-time opponent in Ar
kansas politics cannot be printed
When called that night Senator Dav-
is would not come TO the telephone to
discuss the matter in any way what
ever He sent word that he was
not struck, that Colonel Murphy did
not call him coward, and that he did
not roll in the dirt of the street.
The incident is the chief topic OF
conversation in the streets. Colonel
Murphy is aged and intirm, almost
tottering in his walk. and much sur
prise is expressed at his determination
to chastise the senator.

Governor sparks Replies.


Reno, New, Dec. 23-From his bed
yesterday, Governor Sparks, who is
very sick, made statement in ex-
planation of his act asking President
Roosevelt to send troops to Goldfield.
He says he believed from advices re-
ceived from confidential agents in
Goldfeld that trouble was imminent:
that dynamite had been stolen from
the mines. that the miners were armed
and prepared for trouble and the pick
citing Of the mines and preventing men
from working, was damaging to prop
erty and that the sheriff and other civil
authorities were unable to cope with
the situation" He says he made these
facts known to the president when he
asked for the troops.
He insists he had reason to fear
there would be trouble unless the
troops were brought in. A personal
investigation, he says, developed great
fear among the people of Goldfeld;
that there was an organized band OF
"high graders" and that it was i'm
possible to secure the conviction OF ore
thieves and that the miners possess
over 1000 rifles. He says General
Funston expressed the opinion that
the troops had arrived none too soon
and gave the government to UNDER
stand he endorsed the request for the
troops.
The governor thinks the president
acted upon the advice of the commits
sion sent from Washington. whose In.
vestigation, he thinks, was incomplete.
The governor believes : the president
has made a serious mistake in with-
drawing the troops, but hopes there
will be no violence and resulting
blOodshed.
