FINDS PLACE FOR
POOR INDIAN
GIRL

Humane OFFICER Van Voris has
received a communication from
the authorities OF the Canton,
South Dakota, hospital for insane
Indians, to the effect that accom-
modations have been made for
little Agnes Sloan, the demented
Indian girl of the Puyallup res
ervation. Several months ago the
little girl was found locked in an
clubhouse and chained to the floor.
Her parents and relatives, 1t APP
pesred, wer- afraid to have her
i'm the dwelling house because,
they said, she was possessed of
the EVIL Spirit"
Since finding her, the Humane
Officer has been on the watch for
a place for the Indian girl, and at
last has been rewarded. She will
be taken East March Is.

MAN HURT IN
JAIL DIES OF
HIS INJURIES

Charles McArter, who sustained
fractures of both legs in a cell at
the county Jail Sunday morning
while suffering the agonies of de-
lirium tremens, died late last
night at the county hospital, never
having regained consciousness.
The unfortunate man was so vio-
lently delirious that DR.. McCreery
was unable to set his broken legs
and McArter died suffering in
tense pain.
McArter had a mania for climb
ing to the ceiling of his cell,
while locked up, and Sunday
morning, after he had climbed the
steam pipe, he fell to the cement
floor, breaking the bones of both
|ankles.
McArter is said to be survived
|by a wife and family in Califor.
lnia.

AT THE GRAND

Next to the Marco Twins, who
as freaks, beat most anything ever
presented on a Tacoma vaudeville
stage, Miss Hetty Urma takes the
applause at the Grand this week.
Miss Urma is fascinating, petite
and nimbIe, and although her
voice lacks volume, It is so sweet
and clear that her singing brings
down the house. Hettty (of
course that's not her name, but
she says it suits. her fancy APP
pears In five different costumes
during her act, and sings five diff
ferent sings. Last night the stage
managers time chart was thrown
into great disorder by the numer-
ous encores to which the dainty
songstrees was forced to respond.
Alice Davenport, who takes the
part OF q French ballet lady In q
playlet called Now" does re-
markedly good dialect work, and
carries her emotional acting In ex-
cellont style.

u. ARMY HERO
MAY BE RETIRED
MAN WHO SCALED GREAT
CHINESE WALL MAY BE RE-
ILEVED FROM SERVICE.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-
Friends of Lieutenant Calvin P.
Titus, the hero of the American
occupation of Pekin, are speculat-
ing to day upon the reason for the
limited prospective retirement of
the army officer upon the expira-
ton of his four months leave of
absence. Lieutenant Titus himself
has said nothing regarding the
rumor and his friends are at a
loss to understand it's cause.
Titus bears an interesting rec
ord in the army. He enlisted as
a volunteer in 1898 in the Four
tenth infantry. During the siege
of Pekin, as a musician, he sue
ceeded in scaling the Great Wall
and performed many acts of valor
which led to the award of a gold
medal by congress.

CITY SELLS OVER 10000 LIGHTS
TO PEOPLE AT BIG SAVING

The sale of electric lamps by
the city has proved to be great
benef1t to the people and the city
has made money in the bargain.
A report Just made to Commits
eioner McGregor shows since the
plan was started the city has sold
$,255 tungsten lamps and 14,714
Edisons. The tungsten lamps cost
the city $6,147 and were sold for
41,777. This left the city profit
Of 9S48.69 on the tungstens and
9114.S4 on the Edisons or q total
Of $973.53.
This covers the breakage and
leaves some margin for cost OF
handling.
It also shows q saving to the
people OF nearly $1,000 which
would have gone to the private
dealers had the city not gone into
the business. The large use of
tungsten lamps has also cut down
the night bills of the people hun
dreds Of dollars.
Where lamps have not been
good the company from which the
city buys has replaced them, the
people getting over $3.50 worth
free by replacement. Private
companies and dealers never re-
placed any of the lamps.

Crowds Attend Bank
rupt Sale at 1888
Pacific Avenue

Tacoma people evidently appre-
ciate bargains, II the crowds that
daily gather at D. Skaters store
at 1893 Pacific av. is anything to
go by. Notwithstanding the
crowds, however, thousands of
bargains are still to be had from
the bankrupt stock of Paul Strain
of Marshfie1d, Oregon. Ladies
are particularly interested in this
sale as ladies' wearing apparel
predominates in every department
and at such prices as to command
many sales. The mems depart
ment has not been overlooked. In
addition to the many low prices
in suits, one finds a great assort-
ment of furnishings that are well
worth looking over and laying In
a good supply. At an interview
with Mr.. Shafer this morning, the
gentleman expressed great salts
faction at the attendance Of the
people, as the entire stock has to
be closed out at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, regardless Of cost.
The people, Mr.. Shafer continued,
know that I do Just as / adver-
tise, and seem to appreciate the
low prices marked on the goods.
1t may not be known to most
people, but Mr. Shafer's entire
stock of new spring goods have
been included in this sale, and
everything in the store IL now

AT THE PANTAGES.

Down near the bottom of the
program at the Pantages theater
you will notice two-hne an
nouncement that AL Haynes and
Julia Redmond will ne0t endeav-
or to entertain you with a "one-
act skit" called 1.-THE Girl and the
Births" But, of course, you don't
notice that announcement. 1t is
generally admitted that an aud
fence of vaudeville followers can
not realize that they are getting a
good thing until the goods are
tantalizingly stuck right beneath
their noses.
But when the curtain is up three
minutes and you begin to notice
that the male portion of the trav-
esty is making a noise like a
country editor and that he is do
ing it in very realistic manner
Except that he uses a waste
basket and writes his copy with a
pen), it's time to look at the pro-
gram again.
The act, 1t is safe to say, would
hIt III taO hdIuo vi cly pol
son but Mr.. Haynes. 1t tells of a
coquetish actress who wants to
break into the newspapers. She
inveigles the editor of a suburban
journal, and has him fixed" Just
at the moment when the ever
present wife enters. Well-that's
all there is to It.
The acting of MT. Haynes and
Miss Redmond, not to say that of
the stern-faced kitchen-mechanic
who breaks up the joy-fest, is
much better than is ever asked for
on vaudeville stage.
The eight Russians are feature
acts at the Pantages this week,
and bring in round after round of
applause. 1.-THE Scarecrow and
the Maid" is another good act.
