But Porkers Over Six Months Old Will
Be Valued at Five Dollars
Head.

The assessors of Crawford county
met at the auditors Office on Monday
to consider their plans for the com
ing year. All were present and the

was agreed that the valuations should
remain practically the same as last
year. Porkers were the only ones that
suffered an increase, price of five

have been prevalent this does not
seem to be out of proportion.

the county auditor. On motion VIM.

Johnson secretary.

was adopted:
Colts, year and over, to be valued
at $2S.OO.

fire L0SSAT DEL0lT
SUNDAY MORNING
Butcher Shop and Hotel at DeIoit
Burned Last Sunday Morning
at Five O'clock.
HEROIC WORK SAVES PROPERTY
Wells Pumped Dry and Snow Used in
Extinguishing Flames-Severe
Loss to Owners.

On Sunday morning about o'clock
the meat market at Deloit was discOv-
cred to be on fire; the wind was blow
ing with great velocity at the time and
carried the flames to the hotel, which
stood beside it. A large number Of
men gathered from the town and coun-
try and offered their services and
every effort was made to save the
building. All the wells in the neigh
berhood were pumped dry and in addi-
ton snow was carried and thrown
upon the burning buildings but with
out avail.
The loss on the buildings was total
and complete. But little in the stock
carried in the meat market was saved.
N. H. Brogden, we understand, owned
the building, which was not insured.
His son, C. M. Brogden, carried on the
meat market and was ENJOYING good
IIduc. ~ ID Sd1u Julo olOSh was Ill
sured. John Dobson was the owner
and proprietor of the hotel, which with
it's contents, carried insurance, but
not in an amount to cover the loss. A
portion of the household goods in the
hotel was saved, but how much we
are not advised.
The loss is unfortunate on account
of the age of the owners and their in
ability to readily replace the build
ings. The flames were carried to the
barber shop, but by the most persist
ent effort were extinguished but not
until considerable damage had result
ed. The generous sid of the neighbora
and friends of the victims of the fire
was fully appreciated. Had the wind
blown in different direction the loss
to other property would have been in
evitable.

ians Of exceptional musical ability and
includes such noted musicians as Leo
nora Antionette Allen, soprano; Rose
Lutiger-Gannon, contralto; John B.
Miller, tenor; Arthur Middleton, basso
and Edgar A. Nelson, pianist. The
eminence of this company is such that
it is unnecessary to comment more
fully. From the Streator Daily Mon
itor, We quote:
Last night the Chicago Operatic
company delighted an audience that
completely filled the large auditorium.
The appreciation of their efforts was
evidenced by unusual quiet OF the
people; there was not sound in the
big room when the musicians were
entertaining, but when they had com
pleted their selections they were greet
ed with great applause. Their work
is beyond description.

THE WAR AGAIN
CAUSES ALARM.
Disquieting Rumors Incident to Tur-
c0-Italian War---Smyrna and the :,
Dardanelles Threatened.

London, Oct. 1.-THE bogey OF the
extension OF the Turco-Italian<war to
Europe with all its possibilities OF inter
national complications has once more
raised its head. A dispatch from Rome
says that Italy is preparing to withdraw
portion OF its fleet from Tripoli and
will occupy several islands OF the Arch.
ipeIago.
The dispatch also asserts that the
bombarllment OF Smyrna and an at
tack upon the Dardanelles is contem-
plated by the Roman government il
Turkey still refuses to accept the Italian
terms.
The significance of this news is in
creased by the action Of the Turkish
government in ordering the expulsion
from Turkey OF all Italian professors
and schoplmasters and the permanent
closing OF ALA Italian scholastic instl-
tutions. This is the second decree of
expulsion issued, the first being dl-
rected against Italian journalists.
These DEGREES are believed here to IN
dicate that the Young Turks are sue
ceeding in forcing their militant policy
on the Sultan and that IN trade ORDER
ing the general expulsion OF Italians
from the empire will soon be issued.

WOMAN AND BOYS FINED.
Developments in the Police Court a
Hint to Parents who Allow Their
Boys to Run at Large at Night.

The case of number Of youths who
had been charged by Emma Cole with
impersonating policemen and ill-treat-
ing her last Tuesday night, came up IN
the Police Court this morning.
Lewis Cheshire. and the woman who
preferred the charges were fined SO
each, and six Of the youths who had
played the parts OF policemen were
liued So each for disorderly conduct.
The investigation OF the case brought
out a revolving order OF things in the
southwestern section OF the city, rs
most OF the youths Presidents ct the
First warD who were in court confessed
to 4 lasciyiouS line OF conduct just at
the time they have dicarded knee pants
which would have shocked all who
have all interest ia their welfare. In
deed, it was ayerred tina; the woman's y
house has for some time been rem
devious for children who have just en-
tered their teens among whom she IS
known as Mother Cole. >"
Most OF the facts brought out III the
case cannot be yrinted, but 1t would
have been revelation to the parents OF
the accused youths to have been pres
ent and listened to the acknowledgements
OF their offspring.
The case may be summarized as fol-
lows:
OG last Tuesday night about dozen
Youngsters some Of whom have nearly
reached their majority conceived the
idea OF inpersonatiug policemen. They
procured an old coat which had been
discarded by motorman Of the cleo
trio railway and policemen's hat and
terrified certain persons by pretending
they had warrants for them. They
found Il young man who had been
drinking and took him in custody, and
after walking him about the neighbor.
hood left him on doorstep. They
then proceeded to the southwestern Sec
ton OF the city and knocked at Emma
Coles door. This woman, who is old
enough to be the mother OF anyone oi
the gang, was in bed at the time.
When she asked who was knocking al
her door she was told by Lewis
Cheshire that he was an officer OF the
law. The woman camc down stairs
when, according to her statement, the
pretended policeman handled her
roughly and pulled and hauled her to a
spot on the electric railway short dis
tance south Of Royal street. A crowd,
she stated, followed, who at times
lighted matches after Cheshire pulled
her to the spot. Her account OF the
procedure was corroborated by the eVI-
dence OF several youths who were put
upon the stand.
Justice Cation finally summed up the
case. during which he called attention
/ to the fact that some Of the accused Lad
been before the Police Couat several
times before and warned OF the result
OF continuing in their nocturnal COLI
duct.
The woman and Cheshire were fined
$50 each for adultery and FIVE OF the
boys who had played policemen anc
were in the gang during the lascivlou:
conduct OF the principals were fined >;

SITUATION CROWS
WORSE IN CHINA.
Alleged Japanese Intrigue---Govern-
ment Distrust in Army-..Street
Fighting in HankOw.

Hankow, Oct. 1.-THE long dread
ed clash between the rebels and for
eigners has taken place and fighting
is now going on in the streets here
between the Chinese and a detach.
ment Of German marines, aided by q
number of the members OF the white
colony.
The situation is extremely grave,
for the attack upon the Germans has
aroused all the latent hatred OF the
white races among the natives. All
over the city mobs are being lashed
into fury by the old familiar cry kill
the white devils" and an attack upon
the European and American conces-
sions may take place at any moment:
The marines who have been landed
from the foreign warships under the
command of Admiral Kawashima are
being reinforced, but, il the anti-for-
eigners outbreak spreads, they Will
have to deal with foe outnumberlng
them ten to one and armed with modern
rifles.
The first train to lead OF imperial
troops has arrived from the north and
the soldiers are encamped a few miles
up the river. Several thousand more
are expected to arrive before sun-down.
but it will probably be some days be-
fore a force will have arrived sufficient
" strong to attack the rebel entrench-
ments in front OF WI Chang.
Pekin, Oct. 11.-All the passenger
traffic between Pekin and Tlantsin has
been suspended by the government
which is using every train out Tor the
transportation Of troops. The closing
of the railways has caused q panic
here, for thousand OF the lesser otfl-
cials and business men were arranging
to send their families away, q step now
rendered impossible.
The situation grows more OMNIBUS
here daily. In the absence OF reliable
information the widest rumors are
current and the unrest among the
people is increasing rapidly. One re-
port that may have the most serious
consequences is that the rebellion has
been caused by japanese intrigues.
There ia good reason to believe that
this story originated from government
sources and is being circulated for the
purpose of alternating popular sympa-
thy from the rebels.
The government seems at last to be
awaking from the siupor in which the
first news Of the outbreak plunged it.
Twenty four troop trains have left
Pactingfu and the sixth army division
will be entrained today. How far,
however, tile troops can be depended
upon remains very doubtful.
General Yin Tohang, the war minis
ter, who is in personal command OF
the army, has frankly admitted that
he has no confidence in the soldiers.
One hundred American marines will
sail from Manila on Wednesday to re-
inforce the legation guard here and
Great Britain is preparing to land q
body OF marines for the same purpose.

THE PRESIDENTIAL
TRAINS ESCAPE
Alleged Plot TO Dynamite Bridge hhilt
Train Was Passing over IL.

Santa Barbara, CAL, Oct, l7.-Secret
service men from San Francisco, spec
ial detectives retained by the Southern
Pacific railroad, and Sheriff Stewart OF
Santa Barbara county, are engaged to-
day in an investigation OF plot re-
ported by Stewart to dynamite Presi-
dent Taft's special train, % miles north
of here. The secret service operatives
are said to have evidence that the re-
sponsible person has fled to the noun
tains where he is in hiding.

SLOW PROGRESS IN
NJ NANARA TRIAL.
Judge Bordweil Outgenerals Both
Sides. Only FwO of Fenire Sc
Iected as Jarymen.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. I7.-Wben
court reconrened today, both sides in
tie Mcnamara smurder trial were de.
ternincd to press the case and make
material progress III the selection OF q
Jury. Two veniremen in the box have
been accepted by the defense, subject
to peremptory challenge, and it is ex-
pected that at least two more will be Sc.
cured today.
The defense is much disappointed at
its failure TO force s rulieg from the
court as to how far an opinion which a
venirenan Insists he could lay aside,
can be used in getting rid of IN object
ionable juror.
& 1t is realized everywhere that Judge
Bordwell outgeneraled both sides who
desired to place him on record at IN
early stage of the preceding. Instead
he exercised his psu.yc;@.:vr and inter
rogated Nelson. Ho led him by easy
stages to a point where he was
compelled to admit that he wa:
unable to answer yes or no tc
the simplest question whether
h, could lay aside prejudice ant
set fairly as the California code
demands. AS result the state, find
ing itself in an embarrassing position
was forced TO withdraw its objection tt
the defense's challenge, thus relieving
the Judge from deciding the poin
raised by eliminating Nelson. Thi:
was admittedly victory ior the defense
and it indicates Bordwell's desire to Sc
cure an absolutely impartial jury.
The defense asserts that it will prove
by experts that gas explosion wrecked
the Times building, thus demolishine
the states case at the very outset.
With material progress in sight, IL
terest in the case is growing more in
tense, and crowds today besieged the
sheriff for tickets OF admission to the
court room. The force Of deputies has
been augmented and only those whe
can find seats will be admitted.
