LIFE SAVERS WORK.
Some of Their Deeds Recorded in
Services RepOrt.

OerV1C0S report.
Aside from saving hundreds of
lives and millions of dollars worth
of property involved in marine dis
asters the United States life-saving
service managed to render assistance
to many unfortunate persons in dis
treSs. The annual report of the SUI
perintendent of the service shows
that woman about to be hurled
over bluff was rescued by a life
guard, while an intoxicated man
about to fall off a dock, a man who
had lost his way in a marsh, another
who had broken through the ice, two
others who had clambered 100 feet
up the face of a cliff and were I'M
able to descend, and still another
who tried to commit suicide came
within the vision of the vigilant
guards and were saved.
Five automobiles imperilled in
marshes or quick sands were res
cued.
During the last fiscal year there
were 1876 marine disasters, involv-
ing the lives of $500 persons that
called the life-saving service into ac-
tivity. Seventy-two vessels were to-
tally lost, although only thirty peo-
pie gave up their lives in conse-

Contractors May Sue State For Bal
ances Due ON Agricultural College.
An effort has been in progress for
the last year or two to require the
state to make settlement of obliga-
lions long past due on the part of
three of the district schools for the
work of construction. The trustees
OF these three schools have not yet
settled with the contractors, and
these contractors have threatened to
sue the state.
1t is understood the right of a citi-
zen to thus sue the state for such
of its obligations was recently put
before the encouragement for an
opinion. Judge Hart, according to
those who are representing the con-
tractors, holds to the belief that the
state cannot claim the right to val
liable property not yet paid for, and
at the same time set up in defense
its immunity from suit.
In view of this position of the
states legal adviser the attorneys
representing the contractors and sup
ply men feel encouraged to under
take the collection of the debt by
law.

RICHER THAN A GOLD NINE.
Is the Pitch Lake of Trinidad From
Which Comes Our Asphalt.

Which Comes Our Asphalt.
The great pitch lake of Trinidad,
the most southerly island of the Brit
ish West Indies, is one of the natural
wonders of the world, and is a curl
osity not to be seen elsewhere. The
lake is locally known as the BLACK
Diamond" and pays better than any
gold or diamond mine. An American
syndicate handles most of this nat
ural asphalt under concession from
the government, and from one corner
of the lake obtains 500 tons every
day. The material is shipped in enor-
nous quantities to America, England
and other parts of the world for
street making.
Close to the village of La Brea the
lake lies 1873 feet above the sea and
is three miles in circumference. How
deep it is nobody knows, for though
many attempts have been made to
fathom it all have failed.

WATER is LEAVING BIG LAKE
For the First Time in Twenty Years
Iamonia, Near ThOmasviile,
VIII BE Dry.

BROWNSVILLE, Cat Was re-
ported here a few days ago that Lake
Iamonia, another of the large lakes
across the Florida line, was also 60
ing dry, and persons from here who
went down to see it yesterday con-
firm the report, and say that all the
water has left the body Of the lake
and only little remains in the basin.
1t has been twenty years since
Lake Iamonia has gone dry, and that
both it and Lake Miccosukie should
have gone dry in such a short time
q each other looks as if there might
be some underground connection be-
tween the two lakes. 1t is said by
those who are acquainted with the
ways of this lake that when it starts
going dry it empties it's waters much
more quickly than Miccosukie, and
TINS has proven so be the fact, as it
was only few days ago that it was
reported here that the water in it was
falling. Like Miceosukie, this lake
was noted for its fine duck shooting
and fishing, and it was owned by a
party of sportsmen, many of them
northern men.
The peeuliarities of these lakes in
going dry as they do, and the ques-
ton as to what becomes of the wa
ter emptying out of them, has at
tracted the attention of scientists and
has proved a very puzzling PROPOSE
ton. 1t is generally thought that
the extreme drouth of the past year
in this section has something to do
with it. 1t is the generally accepted
belief that both lakes are connected
with the Gulf, this supposition being
borne out by the fact that the waters
have been known to rise when there
were high tides in the Gulf,

wealth and their lives in working for
Christ in the Holy Land. They per-
suaded Il adults and five children to
come with them. and together founded
colony which has lasted until now
That was in 1881. Today the colony
has 120 members, brought here from
all parts of the union. There are
number from New England, some from
the south, several from Kansas and
Nebraska. and quite a delegation from
Philadelphia and Chicago. I have talk
ed with them about their beliefs. They
say they are Christians and that they
believe in the Bible as it is written.
They take the golden rule as their mot
to and try to live up to it They have
no hobbies. and their Christianity is
practical working one.
I asked as to the charge that they
do not believe in the marriage tie, and
was told that this is not so. They do
believe in marriages, when both hus-
band and wife are believers. 1 find the
community is made up of families and
am told its social morality is high. The
society has had numerous deaths since
its organization. but it has been in
creased from time to time by people
who have come here to study the Bible
and to lead holy lives among the holy
places.
An American Store.
This colony lives together as a COM
munity and its members hold all things
in common. At first they threw their
money into a common fund. They
found, however, that it was soon spent
and Of late years they have established
a business of their own and are now
self-supporting. They have their own
house outside the walls. where they
live very comfortably, eating at a com
mon table with worship morning and
evening. They frequently take Amer
leans in as paying guests, charging
them less than they would have 20 pay
at the hotel for much better quarters.
They also have a bakery from which
they sell bread and cake; a shoe shop
and an art school where girls are
taught painting and drawing. They
have factories in which they make
desks, boxes and other beautiful things
of olive wood; and weaving establish
ment where cloths of wool and linen
are made.
1t is now about 10 years since they
established what is known as the
American store. This is near the Jaffa
gate inside Jerusalem, and right on the
way from that gate to the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher. 1t is under the
New hotel
The store is about the only one-price
establishment in the Holy Land. In all

MITCHELL, S. D., Jan. l-(Special)-
The reservation country TO the west Of
the Missouri river is short of coal and
considerable hardship is anticipated II re-
lief is not given soon. At Plankiuton,
Mount Vernon and Oacoma, Vivian,
Presho and Draper there is not sufficient
coal to last much more than a week, and
1t is being given out in small quantities.

enty-five to 100 cars of Goa. enrOute from
the east which nave been on the road fol
three weeks, but can receive no assur.
ances from the railroads how soon the
coal can be delivered. The break I'm the
cold weather, when the mercury stood al
% degrees below zero early in the week,
has relieved the conditions to some ex-
tent. The fuel situation in Mitchell Is
rather embarrassing to the electric light
plant, which has been short of fue, fol-
three weeks and has had to depend upor
the local supply. This mas run short and
the COMPANY has been forced to shut
down on the day service to save its fue'
for furnishing lights at night. The com.
pany has seven cars enroute here, and ir
three weeks they nave been moved fifty

NIarshnIItown's saloon Fight.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Jan. l.-(Spe-

Joined, the city council at a hurry-up spe-
lal meeting, held yesterday afternoon,

the permits were allowed TO stand.
With the twelve permits issued It is not
likely that there will be a single saloon
open in the city on Monday morning.
Mayor Ingledue said, after today's council
meeting, thai he would not sign any Of
the permits because two OF the three sa-
looms Of +. II. Clifford, a close personal
friend of the mayor, were put out Of bust
ness and refused new permits for 1910. This
further complexities the situation. At the

introduced raising the city license from

COAL FAMINE is IMMINENT
Small Iowa Towns short of Fuel and
Rush Orders Are BEING Hur-
ried Through.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, Jan. L-(Spe-
cial.)-Unless relief comes soon many of
the smaller towns of central Iowa will be
face to face will a coal famine within a
few days. The supplies of coal at Tama,
Garwin, Conrad, Wilton, Clifford, Lawn
Hill, Radcliffe and Ellsworth, are so short
that the situation is beginning to become
critical. The large dealers of this city
are helpless to aid the smaller dealers of
this city, because much Of their coal has
been confiscated lately by the lows Cen
trail and the Northwestern. Coal consigned
to the dealers of the towns mentioned has
also been confiscated by the railroad. The
Iowa Central seized twenty-five cars in
the local yards yesterday. 1t Is charged
hi the Central has plenty of coal for its
own use, but that it is selling it for its
sister road, the Minneapolis & st, Louis,
whose supply has been cut short owing to
the strike. orders ave been issued by
the Central to rush forward all Minneapolis
& st. Louis coal in preference to all other
freight excepting live stock and perishablc
merchandise.

e, L. McCullom, an itinerant insurance
agent, claiming to represent a fire, life
and accident insurance company OF Perth,
Scotland, with a headquarters. office at
Philadelphia, has been cleaning up a good
sum of money in this vicinity by writing
insurance. One of the insured waited
several weeks for his policy to
come, but 1t failed to show up
and he opened a correspondence with
the head office at Philadelphia. The
manag there stated that McCullom had
no authority to write Insurance for that
company and that they had received no
money from him for premiums. Several
others started Investigations with the
same result, and then they put the officers
on his track. He was found at the home
Of his mother in Miner county, where his
wife and family were also staying for
Christmas week. McCullom was arrested
and on his examination was bound over
to the term of circuit court In February in
$500 bonds, He was arrested again on the
charge of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and was placed under the same
bonds. McCullom is thought to be the
same party who has been working the
same kind of insurance In other parts Of
the state with equally good results. Tho
