long illness. Mrs. Nathan Tiekoff was
a helpless prisoner in her room in the
third story of the fire-swept house at
No. 2531 Lombard street, until John
Kold. 19-year-old boy. fought his
way through the smoke and flames to
her side and carried her to safety.
Mrs. Tiekoff, who is so years old.
was awakened about three o'clock in
the morning by smoke. She tried to
sit up in her bed and called to her
sons and daughters sleeping in the
room behind her. The children were
sleeping too soundly to be reused and
the aged woman was compelled to
watch in agony the slow curl of
smol-e under the doorway and hear
the roar of the flames eat the lower
stairways.
The smoke attracted the attention
of passerby and Kold and Harry
Beckman broke down the front door.
Kold knew of Mrs. Tiekoff's condition
and hastily tying a handkerchief over
his nose and mouth he climbed the
stairs. The door of Mrs. Tiekoff's
room was locked. but the panels gave
way under his shoulder. Mrs. Tiekoff
was almost overcome. but Kold picked
her up and started down stairs. The
lower flight was almost burned
but he jumped several of the gaps and
gained the street.
Mrs. Tiekoff was sent to the Poly
clinic hospital. where she was re-
vived.
Meantime her sons, Jacob, aged 15.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 12.--Thomas
Handy, a former South Carolinian,
was to-day made the recipient. in the
Federal Court here of what is re-
garded as the most remarkable SEN
tence on record.
Handy, convicted on bigamy
charge, was not only fined 500 and.
sent to Jail for six months, but was
also sentenced to marry an Indian
woman.
Hanby's first wife, learning of his
marriage to pretty Mary La Brecke,
a Blackfoot maiden, secured his in
dictment and then legal separation
for herself. Because of the first mar
riage the second marriage was de-
clared void.
Judge Hunt not only imposed the
sentence indicated, but instructed
the United States marsh to see that
the marriage was carried out imme-
diately, and this was done, a justice

The goats will be spread out over
an area and then properly guided, so
as to eat lanes in the forests. These
lanes, 1t 10 calculated, will be 800
yards wide, and will serve to divide
the forests into patches, so to speak,
so that If one patch gets afire, the
flames will not spread to the adjoin-

The idea was made public recently

LIBERIA CRYING no U. s.
Negro Colony, Now i'm Bad Way,
Asks for Aid.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Earnest eff
forts are being made by the admin
istration to secure the appropriation
of 100000 for the expenses OF
commission to go to Liberia to make
recommendations as to what specific
action on the part of the government
is desirable that will most aptly rem
der effective relief to that republic
under the present critical circum-
stances. The necessity for this al
ready has been set forth in letter
which President Roosevelt sent to
Congress three weeks ago transmit
ting \ report on the subject from
Secretary Root. Supplemental to
this Is a communication received by
Representative Edwin DENLY, of the
foreign affairs committee, from AS
sistant Secretary of State O'Laugh-
lin, presenting additional reasons
why the appropriation for the COM
missions work should be made.
This letter says that of the forty
or fifty thousand Liberians, the ma
jority are descendants of American
negroes, and it is the duty Of the
United States at least to give the
people an opportunity to continue to
govern themselves, not only because
of the great humanitarian principle
involvel, but because such action. in
slight degree, will be an atonement
for the brutal and horrible practices
inseparable from the slave trade, by
which Americans at first benefited,
and which this government subse-
quently took measures to suppress"
Conditions i'm Liberia.
Conditions in Liberia are thus set
out:
"In connection with the present
conditions existing in Liberia, con-
sular reports speak OF the magnifi-
cent agricultural possibilities Of the
country. Unfortunately, the means
of communication are practically
non-eXistent, there being only five or
six cart roads in the entire republic,
The aborigines are not troublesome
people. They are kept in a state of
peace and loyalty by gifts, etc., from
the government, and produce abso-
lutely nothing beyond their own
food. For commercial purposes, the
whole of Liberia may be looked upon
as strip of coast land of varying
width, as the penetration of rivers
assists communication, but rarely ex-
ceeds thirty or forty miles. The Ii
berian people are generally very
shiftless, very poor, and constantly
pressed in upon by their French and
British neighbors. The country Is
absolutely undeveloped as to its rich
hinterland.
"A comparison Of Liberia with the
British colony of Sierra Leone,
founded under exactly the same con-
ditions and ha g the same charac-
ter of hinterland, establishes that the
territory of the republic is rich in
possibilities. 1t would be unfortu-
nate for American prestige If we
we're to fail at least to give once
more some real assistance to the re-
public"

The State Department is very anx-
ious that the appropriation be made
promptly in order that the commits
sion may reach Liberia before the
