PUss TO THE RESCUE.

Brought q Rabbit to Hungry Phil
adelphia Cave Dwellers.
When the FIRST settlers came to Phil
adelphia, of course there were no
houses ready for them, says Sci in the
Cat Journal, SO a good many of the
men dug small caves in the bank Of
the river. They would dig several
feet into the bank, then build walls of
sod in front Of the little caves. They
made the roof by laying branches Of
trees on top, covering these with rushes
from the river and putting pieces Of
sod on the PUSHES. The chimney was
made of stones plastered with clay.
These caves were used only until the
men had time to cut timber and build
the houses they wished.
One Of the old families Of Philadel-
phia owns a quaint silver tureen on
which is engraved a cat seizing rab-
bit. In the early days at Philadelphia
Elizabeth Hard was living with her
husband In one Of these dug-out caves
while he was building their house. The
work went very slowly, and Elizabeth
often helped her husband She brought
the water to make the mortar for the
chimney, and even helped at one end.
Of the saw.
One day she was very tired, for she.
had helped all the morning. Her hus-
band told her to rest while and then
think about dinner. Mrs. Hard walked
sadly away. The food was nearly
gone. Only a few biscuits and q little
cheese were left. Just then she saw
her cat coming toward her with large
rabbit in its mouth. Mrs. Hard cooked
the rabbit and had nice dinner ready
for Mr.. Hard when he came for his
noon rest. SO kitty helped. although
she did not know 1t.

Most Magnificent Scene Ever Wi.
messed in Canada.
quebec, July 25.-The most mag
nlflcent scene ever witnessed in Can.
aoa was presented yesterday ON the
Fiains of Abraham, when the Prince
OF wales reviewed $4,000 Canadian
troops and 10000 sailors in the grand
military pageant.
Practically the entire population Of
quebec was present, and in addition
tnere We're thousands of visitors and
tourists from all over the world
Inc scene was enlivened and made
gay by the appearance of hundreds of
persons attired in the historic dress
OF the time of the early days of Que
bee.
Grand Scene.
Inere were countless frilled and ruff
lied handles, with all the finery of the
gayest court. There were countless
fur-clad troopers of the early days.
many cowled priests with heavy ro-
saries and sandaled feet, and all
through the crowd were brightly paint
ed Indians in brilliant blankets and re-
splendent with war bonnets. With the
soldiery and the crowds and the mer-
rymakers the picture was unparalleled.
When the prince emerged from his
quarters at the Citadel he found the
streets practically deserted, nearly ev-
eryone having left the city early in the
morning for the plains.
Accompanied by Lord Roberts. Earl
Grey, Vice-President Fairbanks and
many other notables, the royal party
proceeded to the scene of the celebra-
ton, where they were greeted with
prolonged cheers.
Unique Feature.
One of the unique features of the
military pageant was the participation
of representatives of all the different
tribes of Canadian Indians. 1t was
hard to realize that this little band of
braves represented the remaining
strength of the mighty horde which
once held the balance Of power on this
same battlefield.
The Canadian soldiers were most
popular of all those taking part in the
parade and were given a continual ova-
ton.
After the review the prince dedicat-
ed the Quebec battlefields and then re-
turned to the Citadel to prepare for
the grand official ball, which was held
in the evening in the parliament house.
The American visitors are being roy
ally entertained and have been shown
every courtesy, with the result that
they have enjoyed every minute of the
ter-centenary celebration.

TWO NORTHERN PACIFIC
BRANCHES TO BE BUILT

Olympia, July 25.-Two important
extensions of the Northern Pacific
railway in this state are planned for
the near future, according to corpora
ton papers filed in the office of the
secretary of state within a week.
The articles for the two new railway
companies were filed by B. S. Gross
cup, Western counsel for the Northern
Pacific. One, the Olympic Peninsula
Railway Company, has capital stock
OF 100000 and has for its purpose
the construction and maintenance of a
railroad from Moclips, the present ter
minus of the Grays Harbor branch Of
the Northern Pacific in Chehalis coun-
ty, ito some point upon the Strait OF
Juan de Fuca in such direction and via
such routes as may hereafter be de-
termined by the trustees of the COM
pany."
The other company is styled the Ken
newick Northern Railway Company
and has capital stock Of 100000.
It is planned to build a railroad that
will practically traverse the state from
north to south. The railroad will ex-
tend from Kennewick, a town In Ben
ton county across the Columbia river
from Pasco, northerly to the British
Columbia line by routes hereafter to
be determined upon by the trustees OF
the company"
The Olympic Peninsula railway viii
be the first railroad in the Olympic
peninsula that has an outlet. It wiV
traverse Clallam and Jefferson coun'
ties and tap the biggest body OF timber
yet untouched now standing In this
state.
The Kennewick Northern. 1t Is pre-
sumed, is designed to tap the rich
wheat fields Of Douglas and Okanogan
counties. The naming OF Kennewick
as the southern terminus indicates that
the new branch will be operated as 2
feeder for the North Bank road. Inc
fncorporators of both companies are
III. C. Mutt, G. H. Plummer and M. T.
Martin. Tacoma men allied with North
ern Pacific interests.

PRICES WERE HIGHER
 BROUGHT NO STOCKS
United States Ste.I Reached the Record Weght in Its History.

New York, Nov. 13.-No apparent obstacle presented itself to the advance prices today. Except as bids were re- ccived there seemed to be no stock of fered for sale. The mere fact of the advancing tendency of prices served to reduce offerings, holders retaining their stocks in the hope that they could just as well get higher prices for them. Such offerings as were encountered were absorbed with ready confidence.
 The market took on all appearance of a bull movement.
 U. s. Steel was made an object for all followers of prevalent speculative spirit That stock forged upward to successive new record prices, so that each stage of it's advance offered ad- ditional profit to any purchase that had ever been made of stocks since the formation of the company. Its top fig ure. 5S% represented a rise of two points over the closing price last night, which in turn showed a gain of 17s over the closing of the preceding night.

Saves Prisoner From Lynchins.

After an all-night run through fields and forests, With q mob of infuriated citizens ready to lynch their prisoner securing the country, Deputy Sheriffs j. l..

r" NEWS OF
 ARKANSAS
Body Reveals Probable Crime.

The badly decomposed body of well-dressed white man. whose iden- tity is not known, was found Satur- day noon on the north bank of the Arkansas river at a point about 10 miles below Little Rock. When found
 the mans feet were tied together with
 cotton rope and this, together with
 the fact that he was well dressed and
 that his pockets had been rified of everything has led Coroner S P. Vaughter of Little Rock, who conduct ed an inquest over the body Sunday ar ternoon. to believe the man met with foul play He was probably murdered
 and his body then thrown into the
 river, the coroner thinks. The mans identity is a complete mystery to the authorities, as they have no record of the disappearance of any white man
 in this locality in the past few months. Coroner Vaughter believes the body
 had been in the water a month or more.
 The body was discovered by Alonzo Proctor. a nergo fisherman. The body
 had been washed up on the bank on the Templeton plantation. Coroner Vaughter was notified Sunday morn ing and at o'clock on the afternoon
 he reached the scene and conducted
 the inquest at the place where the body was found.
 The man was about five feet 10 inches tall He wore a dark pair of
 pants and a dark checked summer
 weight coat. He also wore new pair
 of blaek-top shoes. The cloth on each
 shoe was marked "R S. e. He also
 wore light eolored soft shirt with black dots.
 A verdict was returned to the effect
 that the man came to his death from
 causes unknown 10 the jury T be.
 lieve 'he was murdered" was the state
 ment made Sunday night by Coroner Vaugater. The body was buried on the river
 bank immediately after the inquest, as it was in such a decomposed condition
 that it was deemed best not to attempt
 to move it.
