In spite of the cool and cloudy
weather large crowd is in attend
ance at the fair grounds this after
noon to attend the races and view the
many fine exhibits being shown in the
various departments. and before the
annual event comes to an end Satur
day night tie great majority of the
southeastern Washington will have
spent at least one afternoon at the
track. Today is Dayton and Waits
burg day at the fair hundreds having
come from the two cities on both the
Northern Pacific train and the excur
sion run by therO. r. & n. company.
The attendance at the fair grounds,
while not as large as that of yesterday
shows a substantial gain over that of
previous days CT the week, and great
interest is being taken in the s1eciai
events that have been announced for
the occasion.

but the number of people entering the

city was closed at noon, and both en-

ciate the value of the organization,
and the necessity for making its meets
wholly successful.
Almost without exception, the visi-.
tors at the fair who have attended sim
liar events in other cities of the west,
are of the opinion that Secretary

of the best fairs given in the west this

 The outfit consisted of a couple of horses and saddles and a pack mule. Porter set out accompanied by a boy. Before reaching the Arizona line, Por- ter sold everything but the saddles and told the boy that they would come on to Phoenix and outfit again.
 They arrived here and remained sometime when Porter suddenly disap- peared and left the boy stranded. After 2 while the latter wrote to Raw son who came on to investigate.

All the men were submitted to a rigid ex- animation today to determine if they were in fit physical condition.
 The withdrawal of these men leaves but fifty marines in the barracks, just enough for regulation guard duty. Col. William F. Riddle, cemmandant of marines in New York. will be in com mand of the marines leaving tomor- row.
 Several Companies Start.
 Boston, Dec. 1S.-Several little com panies of marines started from the Charlestown and Portsmouth navy yards and from the training station at Newport today to join the large body which will sail from Philadelphia for Central America on the Prairie. The Portsmouth delegation numbered twenty-seven, there were twenty-five from the Charlestown yard, with two officers, and twenty from Newport.

REPORTED THEFT OF JEWELS
 AN ARABIAN NIGHTS TALE
What New York Detectives Think of
 Chicago Woman's Story.

New York, Dec. 19.-Sceptical and analytically-in detectives, after a day of investigation, styled as an Arabian Nights Mystery the report ed theft of jewels from the Hotel Lor- raine in this city, in which Mrs John W. Jenkins of Chicago at first ap- peared as the loser of gems valued at $300,000. This valuation was after wards cut in half, while subsequent inquiry brought from Inspector Nc Cafferty of the detective bureau the announcement that i've are making a thorough and rigid investigation into the case, but not along the lines of a robbery"
 Mrs Jenkins remains in seclusion in her apartments. Her husband, 1t is said, is out of the city. If stolen, the jewels were taken from her rooms during her absence last Saturday af- ternoon. A description of them has been sent to pawnshops throughout the city and it Is understood that part of the consignment has been traced to three different shops. The police are reticent about this feature, though it is understood that the articles were pawned several days before the rob bery was reported.
