CUPID HEALS A FEUD.
Man and Girl Of Warning Families
Elope and Are Married.

Butler, Pa-Despite a feud that has
been in existence for 20 years between
the families of John Davidson and
Justice of the Peace Dunbar of Wat
ters station, near here, daughter OF
Davidson and son of Dunbar, eloped
the other day to Cumberland Md.
where they were married.
They returned late at night and are
making their home at the residence of
Squire Dunbar, pending the decision
reached by the girls father
Miss Vera Davidson, was II years of
age and her sweetheart, Ralph Dun
bar, was 20 years of age. Each had
known of the friction between the
heads of the respective households.
but Vera decided that this did not af-
feet the love match
When her father came down for
breakfast, he found his daughter had
written note, saying she had gone to
Pittsburg. The father did not like
the tenor of the note as he suspected
his daughter and the son of his worst
enemy had become too friendly. He
followed to Pittsburg. but too late.
The young people had met here and
fed to Maryland. Dunbar, on hearing
of the elopement, sent word for his
daughter to be brought right home to
him and the old feud is history.

Cripple Creek Gold Output.

Cripple Creek. Colo.-The total ton
mage shipped from the Cripple Creek
district during August amounted to
G6,SS6 tons, with gross bullion value
of $1.330,774. These figures show an
increase in tonnage over the month of
July of 1924 tons, and decrease in
bullion value of $14,257. In view of
the fact that the heavy rains have in
terfered to considerable extent with
hauling and that the allied lines have
been unable to supply the full demand
for cars, this record is considered re-
markable.
The coming month will see two more
mills of large capacity in full opera
ton. The new spur to be built to
open the northern section of the dis
trict will probably be finished this
month. The district is now shipping
its largest daily tonnage to the valley
mills and smelters, an average of al
most seventy broad gauge cars leaving
the camp every day. The figures of
tonnage and gross bullion values as
given out by the various mills and
smelters are as follows:

UNCLE SAM PLANS TO THWART
ANTS IN PORTO RICO.
New Government Building to Be Built
Without Wooden Doors and
Windows Without Glass
to Foil Insects.

Washington.-The treasury depart
ment through the supervising archi-
tect has advertised for bids to con-
struct the new government building at
San Juan, Porto Rico.
This building will be one of the
largest and finest buildings erected by
this government In its insular posses
sions. 1t is to be used as a post
office. court house and custom house
The building is to be Spanish in
style, and will contain many features
architecture. The building is to be of
REINFORCED concrete and steel. There
is to be no wood about it, and for this
reason the building will have no doors
and no glass windows, except on the
side facing the sea. There will be
apertures for entrances and exits, but
there will be no wooden doors TO open
ings in this country. In the place
of doors there will be iron .grillings,
which can be locked to keep out peo-
pie, and in some places there will be
bamboo flaps which can be closed to
keep out the rain.
There will be no. window sashes or
glass panes on three sides of the
building. The window openings will
be free. except for the grillings, so
there will be fresh air at all times
in the building. A wide gallery will
run around the three sides of the
building, and this will keep out the
rain and sun. On the side facing the
sea there will be glass windows, but
no wooden sashes. The glass is used
here on account of the strong winds
which come from the sea.
The reason why no wood is to be
used in the building is because wood
cannot be used in Porto Rico and last
any length of time. This is due to
an ant, Indigenous to the island,
which destroys wood in most mar
velous fashion. The insect will begin
at the ground and bore its way into
the wood and gradually eat it's way
to the top, reducing the wood to
powder. Often furniture in Porto
Rico is attacked by the ants, and if
you lean or place weight on
table or chair it will fall to the ground,
for the ants have eaten the wood so
badly that they are made shells and
cannot hold any weight.

Frankfort, Ky.-Scores of colonies

Hand cauoht in Rain Pine.

New York-Climbing to the 2oof of
house to recover a baseball which
had been knocked there, 15-year.old
Clarence Yerkes of Roxborough put
his hand down into a rain spout to
recover the ball. His hand became
firmly lodged there, and he was not
released for more than an hour, at
the end of which time tinsmith was
called in to help him.
To free the lad 1t was necessary
for the tinsmith to cut the entire
spout away from the roof and tear up
part of the roofing. The boy was
not injured in the process.

SHORTAGE, the millionaire who made a
fortune by inventing a way to open
clans by steam, has determined that
no foreign count will marry his daugh-
ter, Sudsetta. She will inherit about
$193,OO0,O00, about $18 of which is
loose enough to spend. The unhappy
father is building spite fence around
his mansion, which will be about %
feet high, and all the unmarried mill
lionaires without daughters, to speak
of, will contribute champagne bottles
to put on top Of the fence. If the
count gets Sudsetta he is more of a

The chickens go to roost at dark,
but every night aoout ten o'clock they
come out under brilliant arc light
and for several hours are busily en-
gagged in feeding upon the numerous

chickens return to their roost, where
they stay until dawn. The owner says

They were up against a crisis.

MAY BE MADE TO BRING IN
TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOL
LARS ANNUALLY.

Denver.-Colorado will attract ESQ.,
600 tourists annually instead of the
$4,000 people that now visit the state
when the threescorc or more of min
eral springs are developed and
equipped with accommodations and at
fractions. Each visitor will remain
six to eight weeks and leave behind
500, estimating from figures compiled
in European resorts, which will leave
Colorado with $25,OOO,OOO in added
wealth annually
Denver being the chief commercial
center and distributing point for the
various medicinal springs resorts, will
Of course reap the lions share of the
benefits.
These were some of the telling
points made by Thomas Tonge in his
paper on Colorado mineral springs,
read before the Denver real estate ex-
change at the Brown Palace hotel He
stated that years of study proves that
Colorado has exact duplicates of the
famous springs of Europe, and that
many as yet unheard of publicly actu-
ally excel all known foreign waters.
The exchange members were SO favor
ably impressed with the subject and
its importance to Denver that a COM
mittee was appointed to agitate for
bill asking an appropriation for thor
ough examination of the states medi-
cinal springs.
In only two places. Glenwood
Springs and Manitou, has any at
tempt been made in a proper manner
to care for the tourist seeking springs
for their healing properties. In many
cases where the waters are of excel
lent curative effect, only the most
crude equipment exists, and this lack
of enterprise or lack of capital must
be remedied before there will be any
permanent flow of travel. Even should
a visitor be attracted to place where
there is a makeshift equipment, his
stay is shortened and he never goes
second time.
Mr.. Tonge gave figures to show that
some places of only few hundred in
habitants in Europe attracted 10000
to $4,000 tourists to their springs oe-
cause of their natural beauty. in con-
nection with their healing waters.
The little town of Apollinaris in
Prussia exports 20,O00,0O0 bottles of
water annually Mr.. Tonge said Colo
rado had a practical duplicate spring.
Vichy in France attracts 10000 people
annually. Canon City, Colorado, has
a similar spring and might well de-
velop similar fame. Colorado is known
to have almost exact duplicates of the
famous waters of Aixles-Bains in
Savoy. of Cauterets in the Pyrenees
and OF Wiesbaden, Germany.
Mr. Tonge argued that a combina-
ton of nature and art in the makeup

gether with advantages to health OF

state is better equipped than any Eu-
ropean resort district, to draw on the

.PALAMA HOSPITAL IS
Quilted BY FIRE

The private hospital of Dr. Oyama,
situated in the lane opposite the juno
ton of Liliha street with King street,
in Palama, was Quilted by fire yester-
day afternoon, the blaze being a fierce
one for some minutes. There were
three patients in the hospital when the
fire broke out, but these were quickly
removed to a place of safety without
suffering any from fright or exposure.
Nothing else was got out of the house,
however, and the contents of the build
ing and the building itself are COM
plete losses. The contents were in
sured, but a small insurance was on
the building, which is the property of
w. Achi, Jr, and was looked after by
Castle & wilmington.
The fire originated on the back Ia
mai, where a Japanese woman had
been cooking with a charcoal stove,
which had been left alight. The fire
was noted by two boys. Joseph Hull
and Jas. Kuong, who turned in an
alarm, and by James A. Rath of the
Palama Settlement, just opposite, who
tried to fight the flames with a garden
hose, but who was driven back by the
heat. By the time the firemen arrived
the building was practically gone, al
though the flames had not broken
through in any place, making the fight
to save the buildings close at hand an
easier one.
Fire Chief Thurston last night was
unable to estimate the loss. which will
be probably in the neighborhood of a
thousand dollars.
