New York.-The story Of the bull

streets in the vicinity dashed into a

IAN Itching humor covered both my
hands and got up over my wrists and
even up TO the elbows. The itching
and burning were terrible. My hands
got all scaly and when scratched, the
surface would be covered with bls-
ters and then get raw. The eczema
got SO bad that I could not move my
thumbs without deep cracks appearing.
l went to my doctor. but his medicine
could only stop the itching. At night
l suffered SO fearfully that could not
sleep. l could not bear to touch my
hands with water. This went on for
three months and I was fairly worn

sage fanked by showcases until 1t
reached the elevator in the rear, in
which James Meehan. the operator.
was seated. The spectacle of a steer
seeking to enter the elevator gave
Meehan distinct shock. but he had
presence Of mind enough to pull his
lever and the car shot upward.
The disappearance of the car fright
ened the animal. which now turned
and cavorted out OF the store into the
street. The place was barren of Gus
toners at the time and. except for the
fright suffered by the clerks. some Of
whom sought refuge beneath the
counter. the visitation was harmless.
On regaining the sidewalk the ami
NAL galloped to Ninth avenue. thence
to Forty-fiifth street and west toward
Tenth avenue. The clamor attract
ed the attention of Policeman Back
us, who blew his whistle for aid. Ef-
forts were made to head of the steer
as 1t dashed into Tenth avenue. and
now for the first time the animal
showed It's mettle when 1t charged
the crowd that was backing up Back
us. The policeman was knocked down
and hhe animal ran over his body
without doing him any injury.
James Donohue, one of the persons
In the crowd, was not 30 fortunate.
The steer caught him before he could
escape and tossed him into the show
window of crockery store a dis
tance of more than ten feet. Dono-
hue suffered severe bruises about the
face and hands.
Almost surrounded by a crowd. the
frightened steer dashed up Tenth
avenue toward Forty-seventh street.

This proved the undoing OF the ami
NAL, for a dozen men carrying ropes
encased the animal in a network of
hemp from which 1t sought In vain
to release itself. Once in custody.
the steer became docile and was led
without difficulty back to the yard
from whence 1t had escaped through
a gate inadvertently left ajar by

The Earth and the Moon,

That the earth must shine on the

earth is obvious. To detect this light
from the earth on the lunar surface
and scientifically prove its existence
is another matter. 1t Is interesting to
find that a recent number of French

Bear Hugs a Baby.

Walla Walla, Wash.-When Angelo
Locati, an Italian farmer near Mil.
ton. Ore, heard screams from his two
year.old son he ran into the house
to find the child in the embrace of a
small black bear. A vigorous kick
caused the bear to release its hold.
Aside from few scratches the
child was uninjured. The cub weighed

Just who placed the strap about Gi-
rard's neck and how he was suspend
ed from the limb could not be learned.

position, the little brother and the lit
tie Green boy went into the house.
Where is Girard. boys?" asked
Miss Green. a sister of the little boys
father.
He Is out in the back yard hang
ing to q tree!" was the innocent re-
ply.
With the gravest Of fears, Miss
Green and a servant rushed out of
the house and into the back yard. The
sight that met their gaze sent thrill
of horror through their minds. Gi-
rard was tied SO high that 1t was i'm
possible to cut the strap. and the
servant was compelled to break the
limb, and let him down as tenderly
as possible. She then unbuckled the
strap from about his neck.
Girard was unconscious, his mus
cles were rigid and his face was al
most purple from strangulation. He
was tenderly borne into the house
and physicians were called.
The little boy was still unconscious
when the physicians arrived. Some
bromide was administered, ice was
placed about his head, and vigorous
mechanical massage was given, and
the physicians succeeded in bringing
Girard back to consciousness.

ELkS GET
CHARTER
GRAND EXALTED RULER SAMMIS
WRITES LOCAL ELkS THAT
LONG SOUGHT FOR DISPENSA-
TION HAS BEEN GRANTED.

News that the local Elks had been
granted a charter was received here
this morning. The letter was writ
ten December "a and was intended
as a Christmas gift 1t was word
from Grand Exalted Ruler J. Z. Sam
mis-, of the Benevolent Order of Elks,
that the list of names of charter
members of the Wenatchee order of
Elks has been accepted by the Ellens-
burg lodge and a dispensation had
been granted for the charter for this
place. Under the bylaws of the Elk
lodge, in the formation of a new
lodge a list of charter members has
to be submitted to the nearest lodge
for acceptance. In the case of We
natchee, Ellensburg happens to be the
nearest lodge and the list of charter
members had to be accepted by that
lodge before dispensation for char
ter could be granted 1t is expected
that the new lodge will be formally
installed just as soon as District Dep
uty Joe B. Lindsey, of Spokane, re-
turns from the east, which will be
some time early next month. 1t is
expected that the new lodge will start
in with at least so charter members.
The Elk club has been in existence in
this city for just about a year and
is composed of about 60 members.
The club owns one of the finest club
rooms in this city, with elegant fur
nishings, and is in a good condition
financially.
The local Elks this morning were
very much pleased at the receipt of
the letter from Mr. Sammis. The
members have made very vigorous
fight for the securing of charter in
this city. Under the Elk rules a char
ter cannot be granted in a city hav-
ing a population less than 5000
Shortly after the formation of the Elk
club. when the census showed only
about 1000, the Elks petitioned for a
charter. This was refused then
Through the efforts of the local Elks
the Polk directory people came into
the city and last fall and completed
a census which showed $500, and
then another application was submit
ted and it was only this morning that
a favorable reply was received to the
petition

FUEL SITUATION IS
GETTING BAD
SHIPPERS IN THIS CITY IN ALL
LINES DECLARE THAT STRIKE
Is PLAYING HAVOC WITH
TRADE CONDITIONS.

Instead of improving, the strike
situation, as it effects Wenatchee, is
getting worse daily There is COM
plant among the dealers in all lines
in this city over the failure to secure
shipments. Guy H. Whitson stated
that during the past two weeks he
has received but about ten carloads
Of coal This was sold direct from
the cars and was not unloaded in the
yards at all. Yesterday he tele-
graphed wholesalers both in Seattle
and Spokane and the reports from
those cities are to the effect that
while switching crews are at work
yet the force has been cut about two
thirds and every day freight is be-
coming more congested in the yards.
Mr. Whitson states that the fuel situ-
alton is bad here and there is little
promise of conditions being bettered
in the near future.
Other shippers report like condi-
tions. Some freight that was re-
ceived in Seattle the first of the
month is still on the sidetracks there
and it seems to be impossible to get
it switched out so that the cars can
be emptied
While the railroad companies are
giving out the word that the strike
has been settled in the east, yet this
is known to be untrue. In the Twin
Cities the situation is bad. Strike
leaders there are emphatic in their
declaration that they will fight to
the end. while the railroad company
is just as insistent that the strike is
ended as far as the railroads are con-
cerned.
Since the beginning of the strike
80 men have lost their lives in the
various railroad yards affected The
fatalities for the most part are said
to be among the inexperienced switch
men who were working as strike
breakers. The accidental deaths av-
eraged almost one each day since the
beginning of the strike.

EXTEND SCHOOL
VACATION
SCHOOL BOARD MET LAST NIGHT
AND DECIDED TO GRANT AN
TO PUPILS.

The city school board met last
night and decided to grant another
week of school vacation. This means
that instead of school activities being
resumed on January work will not
commence until January 10. A num-
Der of the teachers petitioned for the
additional vacation and inasmuch as
great many of the schools of the
state granted two weeks vacation in
stead of the one, the board decided
to accede to the request.
