To catch the thief and return your cash

And Of finding granny COX of gold;
Of fortune-telling, luck and charms;

BOOSTER SPECIAL" :" ID TOUR INLAND
 EMPIRE
Special from Spokane Will Garry Chamber of Com
 merce Committees

SPOKANE, Wash, April 21.-Every city, town an dhamlet on steam or elec- tric railroads or steamboat lines in east em Washington and Oregon, north and central Idaho, western Montana and southeastern British Clumbia an area of lj0,000 square miles, called the In land empire, will be visited by promi- nent officials and members of the SpO- kane chamber of commerce this year, beginning in June, when the first "Booster Special'' will make a tour of the eastern distritc.
 F. F. Waggoner, chairman of the committee on conventions and eXcur- sions, which has just completed plans for the series of junkets, announces that between 150 and 200 communities will be visited, the purpose of the trips being to encourage the chambers of commerce and boards of trade, already organized, in their work of settling the various districts and developing their resources and to organize a commercials club in every town where there is none at present.
 'The Spokane chamber of commerce, of which Charles M. Fassett is presi- dent, has an active membership of 95O men, including the foremost in business and professional lines in the city, Mir. Waggoner said, "and we are ready and willing to cooperate with the towns in the district, and, in fact, throughout the northwest states, in carrying out successfully the work they have in hand or contemplate doing.
 "Probably the feature of these eX- cursions is that no one will solicit trade or even take voluntary order; nor is it desired to induce people to move from one part of the district to another. The chief purpose of our chamber of commerce is to build up the country districts; the city can take care of it. self. The Inland empire has between 100000 and 750,000 population at pres, ent and is growing rapidly and we ex- pect to double that before 1916. "

THAT VIENNESE DUEL

They had an affair of honor in Vienna the other day. It was at thirty y-fve paces, and would have been eminently satisfactory if an accident had not marred it.
 The Herr Baron had playfully scuf- fled with the Herr Doctor and the form s right arm was injured.
 Ha, ha! a blow!
 Satisfaction, my friend.
 "Sure"
 So the Herr Baron faced the Herr Doctor with smooth bore pistol in his left hand-his left hand, mark you.
 They were, to have three shots each. The Herr Baron fired first and missed mot being an adept with his left hand.
 Bang!
 The Herr Doctor fired and shot the Herr Baron through the head, and the Herr Baron is dead.
 Now the Herr Doctor is filled with re- morse. He says he aimed at the Herr Baron 's feet, and the blamed pistol was overchraged and kicked. Perhaps he also recalled that he was duelling with a man whose right arm was crippled.
 But what's the use?
 Honor is satisfied.

GIRL STEALS FROM
 TRUSTING SISTER

Susie " Allen, 19, was in court the other morning, charged with larceny of $250 from her sister, Bessie Allen, says the Boston Globe. The method adopt ed by Susie was simple, but novel. Bes- sic was working in Wakefield She came home every Saturday afternoon, but ar rived after banking hours. She had an account in a local savings bank, and she gave Susie each week the amount she desired to place in the bank.
 Susie, according to the story told by Bessie, made the correct entry in the pass book, but the money she kept her self, The scheme was kept up for about two years and might have continued but for the fact that Bessie made a trip to the bank herself last week, and for the first time learned that she had no money on deposit there, when she thought she had about $25O. Bessie sought the police and complained of her sister s wrong doing.
 Bessie also had a couple of shares in the cooperative bank, and it dawned upon her that perhaps Susie had got hold of this, too. Her visit to the CO., operative bank proved that her suspi- cions were correct. Susie had forged an order and had withdrawn the money.
 This capped the climax, and war rant was issued for Susie's arrest.

his father have had station at their home for some time, and they have in- stalled one at college so that the son will not grow rusty in handling the key.
 The beauty of the scheme is seen after little thought. Suppose the young man writes home that, owing to the press of studies, he will not be able to visit the old folks over Sunday. Then on Monday his father clicks out a message inquiring whether Joe had received one which was sent the pre- vious day. What excuse could be of fered9
 Of course, this is not likely in this particular case, because Webb is a dili- gent student, and does what he says he intends to do. But when the practice of having wireless stations at all homes and all schools is common, what will the average boy do?
 At present Joseph Webb, at school, has only a receiving station. Doctor Webb can counsel and admOnish him to his heart 's content, and there will be no "back talk.'
 And so it may go on. Inventive fathers may devise a thousand and one ways of keeping the son at college up to scratch. When such home and school connection becomes general, it is hard to say how unbearable a college boy s life will become.

RUSSIAN T0RTURES
Publicity Given in Foreign Newspapers Has Remark
 able Effect

MOSCOW, April 20.-Now that for eign newspapers are throwing the searchlight of publicity on Russian prison atrocities the authorities are try ing to damp down the fires of criticism by making a few scapegoats.
 At Ekaterinburg jailer who flogged a woman prisoner because she rejected his advances has been dismissed by tht governor of Perm. Another pris0nea who claimed that his bed had been chained flat to the wall for weeks through the spite of warder, has been given degree of comfort, but the guilty official has merely been trans ferred.
 Inquiries have, however, been insti- tuted in some prisons with the result that many prisoners have been foun bearing marks of savage ill-treatment A special official sent to Riga to report on the condition of women prisoners there, has sent secret report to St Petersburg and already some reforms have been ordered. The condition of the women political prisoners there has long been scandal. Starvation has been one of the minor tortG'res to which they have been submitted.
