. Slept

Pittsburg, Kas., Dec. 7.-Another
unexplained and atrocious murder has
aroused fear and caused greet ex-
citement throughout Crawford county.
It was justsa week ago last night that
the Bork family was murdered on
Ia country road near Frontenac and
only a few miles from Pittsburg.
This morning came the news that
Miss Goldie Ingeborg had been MUIR
dered in her home here and her dia-
monds stolen. Carbolic acid was fore
ed between her lips, and her diamond
earrings were torn from her ears.
Miss Ingeborg was twenty years
old. The family lives on North Smell

ness district Of the city. The father

Miss Ingbsrg occupied the front
bedroom Of the .6-room house which
the family occupies. This room opens
on the parlor, and the latter room
opens directly upon a porch.
j After Miss. Ingberg went to her
room last night her father who is
partly deaf, sat in the kitchen read
ing. Mrs. InSberg went to her room
at the back of the house. She was
asleep, but was wakened by a cry

that tho front DOOR was open and
hastened to the porch.
Miss Ingberg was found lying on
the porch and was suffering intense
agony. "They got my diamonds. They
gave me poison" she was able to
gasp. She died early this morning
WITHOUT having been able to give any
definite description of her assailants.
She was only able to say that two
men had attacked her as she lay. In

the other forced tue acid between her
lips, she said. Then they tore the
earrings from her ears. These rings
were valued at about $3.50. Miss Ing
berg was employed in store.
Mrs. 1ngberg and her husband
aroused the neighbors, and the police
were. notified. They have been un-
able to secure any clew, however.
This crime, coming SO soon after
the Bork murder has aroused the pep-

The Far East.
In the far east this government pre-
serves unchanged it's policy of sup
porting the principle of equality of
opportunity and scrupulous respect
for the integrity of the Chinese en-
pire, to which policy are pledged the
interested powers of both east and
west.
BY the treaty of 1908 China has un-
dertaken the abolition of likin with a
moderate and proportionate raising
of the customs tariff along with cur
rency reform. These reforms being
of manifest advantage to foreign COM
merce as we'll as to the interests of
China. this government is endeavoring
to facilitate these measures and the
needful acquiescence of the treaty
powers. When 1t appeared that Chi
nese likin revenues were to be hy-
pothecated to foreign bankers in con-
nection with a great railway project,
1t was obvious that the governments
whose nationals held this loan would
have certain direct interest in the
question of the carrying out by China
of the reforms in question. Because
this railroad loan represented prac-
tical and real application of the open
door policy through cooperation with
China by interested powers as we'll as
because of it's relations to the reforms
referred to above. the administration
deemed American participation to be
of great national interest. Happily,

Mrs. Larson'S House Burned

Mrs. Mary Larson's house caught fin
last night about 1890 o'clock and was
entirely destroyed. Mrs. Larson was
busy about the house with her work
and did not know it was on fire until
u piece of wood from the ceiling fell
down and struck her on the forehead.
She gave the alarm and the neighbors
turned out and did what they could to
save the house. The fire-bell rang
and as soon as u crowd could gather
at No. Ones hose house, they started
for the fire. not knowing where it was.
The fire was between the roof and the
ceiling and no light or smoke could be
seen. When the cart vas within about
1000 feet of the fire, those pulling it
thought they had been imposed upon
by false alarm and some Of them went
home. No attempt was made to couple
the hose to the hydrant by the Palace
livery stable, the nearest one to the fire,
for the reason there was not sufficient
hose on the cart to reach the fire. Those
who found the fire did their best to
save the house, but finding this impossi-
BILE they saved all of the furniture.
Garnet Cowling was burned about the
face and neck in trying to save Il door,
but will be all right in Il few days.
Mrs. Larson had only been in the
house few days. Yesterday she
changed the stoves from room to room
and had a man nut them up She had
a big fire going in three stoves last
night and the ceiling caught from one
of the stove pipes. She estimates the
loss at about 5000. The house was not
insured.
The house was in the southwestern
part of town and the absence of any
blaze or smoke made it difficult to locate
the fire. For this reason, good many
who started for the fire turned around
and went home without knowing where
the fire was.

Rapid Transit in SutrO Tunnel

Two additional Fairbank- Morse veloc-
ipede cars have just arrived for use
IN the Sutro tunnel, making three in
all now being employed for rapid tran
sit purposes over the miles of trackage
in the main tunnel and the two laterals.
These machines are standard railroad
section cars, and are cut down to the
proper gauge of the tunnel tracks.
They are proving immensely prac-
tical in the tunnel, allowing trackmen,
foreman, night Waterman and others to
cover a big distance in quicls time 1t
is stated that trips are made regularly
from the C. &c G. connecting drift in the
north lateral tunnel to the portal of the
main tunnel at Sutro, in 30 minutes, q
distance of over four miles, which
demonstrates the great value of these
cars in covering ground in short time.
There has been one car in use for q
considerable period and has been so
useful and in such constant demand
that two more are to be pressed into
service, two to be located at the west
end of the tunnel and one at Sutro.
The tunnel is also being equipped
at the present time. with the clock
system for the night watchmen and
will be in operation very soon, which
means that the tunnel is being pa
trolled at all points The new veloc-
ipede cars make this possible and

Fight Against Treating Habit"

Fight Against Treating Habit"
The Anti-Treat league is gaining
many new members, says Theodore
Sutro in a letter to man who in
quired as to the objects of the or.
ganization. Besides being a step
toward intemperance. he says, 1.-The
foolish custom cannot be INDUCED in
by men in moderate circumstances
without entailing an unnecessary ex-
pense. We are opposed also to the
American barroom, where people
stand up in droVes and gulp down
strong liquors in lightning haste and
in indefinite quantities. The associa-
ton Is working toward the introduce
ton Of the barless barroom, where
guests will be served at little tables.
There people may sit down quietly
and sip their drinks as one would tea
or coffee, each man paying for what he
consumes, regardless of the thirst of
the man who may sit at the same
table with him. Not many men would
become intoxicated in barrooms OF
that kind"
