commissary and laundry buildings
are connected by platform, and are
really two distinct buildings. The
laundry, which takes care of the lin

CURRAN BELIEVED A
VICTIM OF ROBBERS
Theory Is He Was WayIaid on Rail-
road Track-Not Yet Able
to Talk.

There was very little improvement
noted today in the condition of
Thomas Curran4 who is lying at st.
Anthony's. hospital suffering from a
compound fracture of the skull, ex-
cept that he had regained conscious
ness. He is still unable to talk.
however, and little further than that
related yesterday is known. The
train crew which brought him in from
Carbon Cliff where he was found
Sunday morning lying unconscious
beside the track, cannot tell how the
accident happened 1t is the opin-
ion of DR.. S. B. Hall, who is attend
ing the injured man, that the frac-
tured skull is not the result of being
hit by train, but rather by some
heavy, blunt instrument in the hands
Of robbers. The doctors theory is
that Curran was waylaid and struck
from behind with an iron bar. The
wound in the front of the head
looks as thought it might have been
made with a hammer. The affair is
considerable of a mystery and it is
hoped that Curran will recover
enough to be able to give the police
some 'clew, provided the theory of
the doctor is correct.

PEORIA NOW REALIZING
THE HORRORS OF WAR
Citizens Will Ask State to Pay for
Damage Done by Soldiers Dur
ing Sham Battle.

Peoria will likely present a pretty
bill to the state as a result of the
sham battle that wound up the en-
campment of the national guardsmen
in that city last week. Citizens and
park boards. are getting together and
comparing notes, and they find that the
troops did a prodigous amount of
damage by charging over lawns, break
ing down young trees and shrubbery
and using the hedges and flower beds
to hide behind while firing on the foe.
Colonel Fred Smith, chairman of the
Peoria arrangements committee, was
the leading sufferer, having had a
fine suburban place which the troops
took delight in overrunning and which
was badly cut up by the hoofs of the
cavalrymen's horses.

ScSSeu spO ann SOSlS-
Mike Rooses and John Pole were
arrested last night on charges of dis
orderly conduct and this morning
they were arraigned before the po-
lice magistrate, who assessed each of
them SIS and costs. 1t seems that
they are bachelors who have been
women in their quarters
in the lower end of the city. One

the arrest followed. The neighbors
had made complaints about the men
previous to yesterday and the police
were keeping a quiet watch on them.
John Murphy, whom the police &C
cused of being a ''moocher" or beg
gar, was sent down to the county
Jail for 20 days this morning by the
police magistrate. He has used his

Tho Raisino of Rice.

The cultivation Of rice extends back
into the dim past, and there are no au-
thentic records as to when it 6rst be-
gan. Evidence points, however. to the
Chinese having been among the ear
lest people to cultivate 1t, and such
great value was attached to 1t that In
the annual ceremonial sowing Of i'm
portant plants inaugurated by the EN-
peror Chinnong so far back in the past
as $500 B. G. the rice had to be sown
only by the emperor himself, while the
four other plants Of the ceremony
might be sown by the princes of his
family. In India rice has been culti-
waited from time irnmemorial. 1t was
introduced at an early period into
Syria, Egypt and other parts of north
ern Africa. In more modern times rice
has been sown in Spain, France and
Italy, the first cultivation in the last
named country being stated TO have
been near Pisa in 146S. The plant Is
believed to have been introduced into
America in 1647, when Sir William
Berkeley raised q crop Of sixteen
bushels from half q bushel Of seed.

The Walters Tip.

"Splittihg q five dollar bill with a
waiter when you reach a hotel and
promising him the other piece when
you leave If we'll served is a poor
game" said a veteran waiter In one
Of New York's biggest hotels.
"a man tried it on me once, and 1t
made me sore. l took pains to serve
him poorly, showing that | did not
care for his money. was so careless
that when he was leaving he refused
me the other half. l had him sized
up for cheap skate, so / pointed out
to him that the piece he had was no
good to him as It was and offered to
buy it from him for So. He thought
deeply a minute and declined. Then
I offered to sell my half for So. Some
how or other this appealed to him,
and he bought it and seemed happy.
I'll bet he hasn't stopped figuring out
yet whether he won or lost. One
thing he's sure of-he didn't tip the
waiter."-New York Sun.

a Gentle Hint.

A certain butcher Is renowned
among his contemporaries for the
quaintness and originality of some OF
his remarks. On q road leading to a
neighboring parish he one day met
gentleman who at the time owed him
for some meat. After salutation the
gentleman remarked:
That's fine fat dog you have, AL

"Sae weel he may, sir" was the re-
ply, "for he has an easy conscience
and is cot O. debt, and that's mair
than you or I can say"
The hint was taken, and the butcher
got his money next day.-London An
