Man Mourned as Dead Home Again
Medford-In May, 1906, Henry
Jones, a young farmer living in the
north end of this county, suddenly
disappeared, leaving a young wife
and infant son. Early one morning
that year he left for Grants Pass
with a sum of money to deposit in
the bank there. That same night he
was seen in a saloon in Grants Pass
and that was the last heard of him
in this part of the country.
As his family relations had always
been pleasant and he left home
bright and happy, his disappearance
remained a mystery until two years
later, when one Ingram, who was
tried in the Circuit Court in Jose
phine County, convicted, and sent to
the penitentiary at Salem, made an
affidavit that Jones was murdered
for his money and his body cut up
and placed in a sack and disposed
of, Several months later a sack con-
tanning human bones, which were
supposed to be those of Jones, was
found in the lower Rogue River.
Oral Jones, his wife, was appoint
ed administrator of his property.
Early this month Jones surprised his
wife by wiring from Kamloops to
meet him in British Columbia. She
did not make the trip, and he came
to her and the two are now in this
city
Why he left home Jones re-
fuses to say.

oriain Of the Word Bogus"

The word bogus is said by Dr.. Ogil-
vie to be derived from Boghese, the
name Of a notorious American swindler
who about the year 1885 flooded the
western and southwestern states with
counterfeit bills, sham mortgages, etc.
Others connect the word with "bogy," a
scarecrow or goblin, and so applied to
anything fictitious or chimerical.
Lowell in the "Biglow Papers says:
II more than suspect the word to be q
corruption of the French bogasse.'
This bogasse was the sugar cane as
delivered in It's dry, crushed state from
the mill, also called can trash and fit
only for burning. being Synonymous
with useless rubbish.
Again, according to Brewer, there is
in French argot or thieves slang a
word ''bogue," which signifies the rind
Of a green chestnut or the case of a
watch, and this also brings us to the
idea Of an outward seeming without
my solid o.. reputable foundation

The oueerest Salad.

A gourmet as he mixed a salad Of
chicory said: 1.-The worlds Queerest
salad, and possibly its most delicious
one, is eaten by the Inoits of northwest
Greenland. 1t is a salad of undigested
moss from the stomach of a fresh
killed reindeer, a bitter, sharp, slim
ulating salad. as good for the diges-
ton as an electrical massage. The
Inoits live almost exclusively on fish;
hence salads are a favorite dish with
them. But no salad in their minds
compares with that which they wrest
from the slaughtered reindeer. They
say this salad is crisper, tenderer and
more appetizing than any other, and
they say it wards off indigestion. They
fight for it, they spend their last penny
on it, quite as the Indians do with

A Candid Critic.

"a criticism that has helped MI a
great deal in my work came from a
man to whom I took a picture to be
framed said a young woman who
spends, much Of her time copying in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. "As the
picture progressed my friends told me
it was fine. Some Of the other copyists
said it had value, character, good color
Ing and all those things, and even one
Of the guards in the gallery got real
friendly one day and remarked that it
was the best copy Of that picture he
had seen. Ibegan to think that maybe,
after all, my several years Of study
were beginning to bear fruit. At the
trainers I picked out q nice frame, and
the Trainer began to figure OF the cost.
"T'll tell you. MISS he said, that
frame will come to $3.9S. If were
you Id get something cheaper for that
picture.'"-New York Sun.

OUR BIG COUNTRY.
A Season When the Sun Never sets
on tho Stars and Stripes.

on In0 STARS ana otrIPeSs
There is only one flag that the sun
never sets on-the British. But the
American flag is a close second, for
the sun during half the year nev sets
on it either. That is to say, these two
are the only flags that the is con-
t%lnuously shining over, no matter what
his position in the heayens-the one all
the year round and the other during
exactly half the year, from March'22 to
Sept. %.
OF course it is true that on no day at
all during the year can the sun be seen
from any two points of continental
United States at all times during a
period of tw~enty-four hours. But the
United States naval observatory has
made careful calculations which by in
Guiding Alaska, Porto Rico and the
Philippines show that between the
spring and fall equinoxes the sun new
er ceases to shine in the eyes Of the
American eagle.
Perhaps nothing could make us real
lie how great a nation our expanded
country is better than this simple as
Economical fact. Moreover, within
these two dates there are also several
other pairs Of eastern and western ex-
IRENE points where the same condi-
ton obtains. though for much. shorter
times.
It is not generally known, but the
easternmost point in the United States
and it's island possessions is in the is
land Of Porto Rico-longitude 65 de
grees II minutes west, latitude 10 de-
grees 20 minutes north. The western
most point is in Balobe island, in the

summer months, it does not.-Scrap

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Two buildings
were wrecked and windows were
shattered for a block aroundb by . ter
rife explosion of q bomb in an alley
of Wabash avenue near Sixteenth

The wrecked buildings adjoin the
Coliseum, whore the First ward ball,
an annual revel that shocks the NOR

against the holding of which this
year much opposition has been made
is scheduled to be held tonight, and
the police are working on the theory
that the unknown bomb thrower de-
signed to wreck the coliseum in order
to prevent the ball.
Tho report Of tho explosion was
heard for q mile. The congregations
of Grace Episcopal church and Of the
Open church and guests Of several
nearby hotels rushed to the streets in
q panic.
A two-story frame building at 1918
Wabash avenue, which adjoins the
south wall of the Coliseum annex, Inn
mediately collapsed and took fire.
Tho IRE leaped across an area and
spread to another frame building,
which also was wrecked. Properties
of the Coliseum stored in the two
buildings added fuel to the flames.
Crowds of excited people, believing
that the great stone structure of the
Coliseum had been blown up, rushed
to the scene.
The~polioe and fireman began
searching among the burning debris

buildings when the explosion occur

bad entered one of the buildings q
short time before. After searching
until midnight the police were un-
able to find evidence of any one hav-
ing been killed. 1t was believed all
had escaped.
Inspector John Wheeler charged
the Chicago Law and Order league
with causing the explosion, after he
had looked over the scene and re.
ceived reports from the score Of
detectives he had working on the
oase.

With the elaborate productions Of
late years the Importance of the build
er of scenery has increased, says Ev-

the scenery consisted merely Of can

was simple enough. But the struggle
for realism and sensational effects has
developed difficult problems for the
builder of stage scenery to solve.
Every piece of scenery must be made
so that it can be folded into strips five
feet nine inches wide. because the
doors of the baggage cars in which 1t
is transported are only six feet in
breadth. Also every piece must be
light and so constructed that one
scene can be removed and another

The new heir apparent to John D. looks
On q world made to order for him.
No strife for a living, no worry about

Already in farmhouse and village and

All over the earth it's a fad
To burn a few gallons Of oil, less or more,
A fund to provide for the lad.

Sits up with a task or a book
To labor or garner some truths for the

For secrets Of nature to look,
The lamp that is turning the night into
For study or business or fun
Is burning q fluid that tribute must pay
To the son of John DIS only son.

his birth
To ~conjure one moment with toll,
For thousands who know not the boy is

Will blow themselves strong for his oil.

On trivial errands to chase.

With toys more expensive to play.

Gao, Where Inhabitants Rejoice I
Over the Exploit.

Willemstad, Island of Curcao. Dec.
1.-THE Dutch cruiser Gelderland
came into this port Sunday morning
towing the Venezuelan coast guard
ship Alix with the Dutch flag flying
and a Dutch crew Of board. The Gel
derland captured the Alix off Puerto
Cabello on Saturday.
At that time the Alix was lying
close inshore and, Notwithstanding the
threat which the Venezuelan govern
ment had made to fire upon any Of
the Dutch warships committing a hos
tile act, the Gelderland steamed at
speed towards the guardship and sent
an officer and guard in a launch to
seize her. This they did without re-
sistance and no shots came from the
forts IN land.
The crew OF the Alix was put
ashore and the Dutch officer and mar
ines remained on board the Colder
land finally taking the Alix in tow and
steaming away with her prize.
The seizure Of the Alix was in &C.
cordance with the plans of the Hol-
land government when instructions
were issued to the three Dutch war
ships now in these waters to make a
demonstration of the coast of Vene.
zuela and to capture any Venezuelan
ships of war or guard vessels that
they might find. The arrival of the
Gelderland at Willemstad was greet
ed with %unbounded enthusiasm by
those who noticed the cruisers ap-
proach, and SOC the entire population
were down to the waters edge to well
come the return of the Gelderland, tow
ing the first of the enemy's ships, as
though from a great conquest.
Naturally the people of Curacao.
who have long been damoring for ac-

ment, are greatly rejoiced over this
evidence that Holland has at last be.
