where Indian curios will be in great
demand.
The United States government has
offered to install this great collection
in the Alaska Yukon-P fair pre-
cisely as the chronological specimens
are installed in the United States mu-
scum in Washington, D. c., and will
deliver it to the owner at the close of
the fair, correctly labeled, catalogued
and encased in moth and dust proof
glass cases, which will be forever
loaned to the collection, for its preser-
walton.
This would enhance the value of the
collection tenfold, with no additional
cost to the purchaser, and eloquently
proclaims the value which the United
States authorities attach to this par
ticular collection, and to the invalu-
able results of the years of research
made by its author.
Only Opportunity of Purchase.
The opportunity for securing this col
lection can never occur again, since if
this state does not take it now, ar
rangements will be made to take it
east during the coming summer.
1t should, unquestionably, be owned
by the state of Washington, it's natural
home, for the use of the State Univer-
sity, and it should be maintained by
the state as the finest, largest, most
complete and most valuable collection
in the United States, of the work Of

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 22.-Following a
harangue at mass meeting at the city
hall in South Omaha Sunday afternoon,

pal speakers, wild mob of 800 to 1000
men started for the Greek quarter to
avenge the death of Patrolman Edward

night by a Greek whom he had placed
nnder arrest. Before their thirst for
blood had been satisfied two boys were

crowd used as weapons and not less than
80 buildings were partly demolished.

struction by throwing stones and bricks
through the windows of stores and
houses known to be occupied by Greeks.
In a very short time havoc was made
with the fronts of these places and the
stocks of the stores were quickly laid
waste.
Two blocks east another crowd
smashed the front of saloon and sew
sral daring spirits attempted to pillage
the interior, but squad of police
charged the crowd and prevented tho
mob from securing the liquor at this
place. 1t was here that the two boys
were shot and the other persons in
jured.

fourth and l. streets and attacked a con-
fectionery store run by Demos Brothers.

ly smashed, the doors kicked in and the
stock and showcases destroyed. Mrs.

high record at trap shooting when the
wind is blowing the targets in every di-

usually run much higher.
