warden and sticks faithfully to his post
until the cold gray dawn of the morning

a few minutes, steals a. pisoe of meat for
breakfast and goes calmly to bed with
a sense of duty well done. The manner
In which Spooks became attached so in
separately to the police station in general
and Warden Barnett in particular is in
itself peculiar
One night about 1 o'clock Warden Bar

heard faint scratching at the door.
He paid no attention until faint meouw

kindest hearted of men, he opened the

HEROIC DEED OF MAN
TO SAVE PROPERTY

Pittsburg, July 6.-While fremen poured
powerful streams Of water upon him, w.
A. Weaver, superintendent of the Atlantic
Refining plant STANDARD OIL company,
dashed daringly through flames and
smoke early today and shut valve
which prevented fire spreading from a
burning still of benzine to great tanks OF
oil near by. In the vicinity over 10000
barrels of petroleum in various stages of
refinement were stored.
Two thousand people, called from their
beds by the peril, cheered the superin-
tendent as he came scorched from the
burning still. What would likely have
been a catastrophe similar to that at
Sheraden several years ago when 200 peo-
pie were seriously injured in a gasoline
explosion was prevented and the loss con-
fined to the benzine still.

it was discovered that he did not intend
to emulate the Good Shepherd. Since
that time, four weeks ago, the cats have

Spooks is the merest wisp of a cat and
a bit since he came to the station. The
boys tell a good story to account for
this. Tom Parsons came in one nis>t
about / o'clock and laid his gun OIL the
edge of the desk. Spooks, being of
curious nature naturally, needs must In

revolver struck the floor it exploded with
noise resembling IN earthquake. Spooks
was SO amazed at the discourteous action
OF the weapon that he scrambled back on
the desk and in doing SO turned over the
ink we'll and then walked across the re-
port of Mr.. Patton. This was considered
too much and he was soundly cuffed by
Mr.. Barnett as he wiped up the ink stains
and addressed few remarks not of q
complimentary nature to the cat. It is
claimed that Spooks was scared out of a

CIRCUS TENT RUINED
BY SEVERE STORM

st. Paul. July GA special to the Dis
patch from WATERFOWL, 8. D., says:
One dead and score more or less in
jured, the main tent and menagerie tent
of a big circus in ruins is the result of
cyclonic storm here last night. The
dead man and the injured are said to be
circus people.
The animals in the menagerie tent were
locked in their cages and the elephants
had been loaded on the cars when 1t was
seen storm was coming, and this I'M
doubtedly prevented a stampede
The spectators, warned Of the storm,
had barely left the tent when the first
blast ripped the canvas into ribbons. The
canvas caught fire from the lamps and
was carried blazing into the air BY the
gale. Flying poles and pieces OF seats
were hurled after the fleeing people, who,
blinded by the dust, were rushing for
safety In the darkness.

BONDS DISAPPEAR
IN NEW YORK CITY
Case Is Now Being Investigated
By Grand Jury
rs PECULIAR AFFAIR
IS PECULIAR
Lonn WINS Made By the Carnegie Trust
Company and Bonds Are Given as
Security But They Cannot
BE Found

New York. July 6-Following a confer
ence of District Attorney Whitman and
former Justice Keener, counsel for the
today that the grand jury was investigat'
ing the alleged disappearance of $4oo0U'
worth of bonds deposited with the COM
pany as security for a loan. While Dis
trict Attorney whitman admitted that an
investigation was in progress, Moses H
Grossman. counsel for the Carnegie COIN
pany, stamped the story as untrue. Mr..
Grossman said:
lover a year ago, when the late Charles
Coulter Dickinson was president OF the
company, a loan of $4,000 was made to
Charles w. Chapman, who gave his note,
Endorsed by c. NJ Sexton. and as col
lateral pledged 100000 Of Titusville North
ern Railroad company bonds, together
with $4,000 in other securities.
1.-THE loan was reduced by payments to
| SIS, 1l9, and later a Mr.. Charles Wellhorn
gave his note and further bonds of the
Titusville company as security for the
Chapman loan.
I'VE couldn't get the money from Mr..
Chapman and held the securities. The
bonds are here and all the collateral, and
when the money is paid well turn them
over Mr. Wellborn is doubtless sorry
for going to the aid of Mr.. Chapman
but that is not our affair"
District Attorney Whitman said this
afternoon: There Is no evidence in the
possession of this office which reflects
in any way upon the financial RESPONSE
bility or management of the Carnegie
Trust company or upon it's officers or the
board of directors"
Joseph B. Reichmann, president OF the
company, said:
"There has not been defalcation of a
single dollar in this institution. All we
know about the matter Is that there Is a
dispute between the broker who borrowed
money from US as to how many bonds
the client delivered the broker orig
inally."
Mr.. Reichmann appends to his state
ment a declaration of state bank ex-
aminer saying that the bonds in ques-
ton were counted today and FOUND IN
tact In the vaults of the company.
Charles C. Dickinson, president Of the
company when the loan was made, died

fling circumstances on May "a. physi-
clan acting for a casualty concern said
that he died from heart trouble, bat the
coroner, also a physician, directed the

I'VE live in a wonderful age Our
wv superstitions and myths must
y vanish like mist before the dis
pel1ing rays of the mighty sun of
knowledge Our religion is proven
false, our legal code has been ex-
posed to ridicule, our history even,
they tell US, is half mythology-noth-
ing is safe from the prying nose of
science.
"Ah, but we still have art" the
rhapsodists exclaim, with an air of
fnality. "She among all the maidens
is ever pure and chaste. From an
tiquity down to today she has re-
mained the same Interchangeable ideal;
her laws are immutable and her ideals
are supreme. The Greek and Roman
artists have given the world the ideal
and Aristotle has fixed the laws. The
orthodoxy of art is safe from higher
criticism"
indeed What if one of the major
dictums Of your orthodoxy were
proven to be founded on mistake as
palpable and inexcusable as it is uni
versal? What if -cience, the great
fconoclast, armed with pick and shovel
and hand lens, has delved into the
sacred ruins of antiquity and brought
forth a secret that will upset one OF
the darling laws of your cult?
Well, this has happened, and here
is the secret. While men for centuries
have supposed that Greek and Roman
statuary was pure white, archaeolo-
eists have just discovered that not
only was If not white at all, but was
as rampant witk- color as medieval
mosaic or an oriental vase. What!
Painted? A Greek statue painted
Venus de Milo daubed with vulgar
paint? Even SO.
This bomb. which has been in the
making among the archaeologists for
