stones. Directly it was seen that the
building was doomed, those present
gave willing aid to assist in saving
what was possible from the flames.
= host of willing and energetic volun-
teers, under various leaderships, were
busily engaged in removing goods,
working as a bucket brigade, and
taking every precautlon possible to
save the adjoining buildings.
Returning to the fire, after it had
been in progress short time, it was
apparent to everyone that Mrs. Dex-
ters store must also go, and for an
anxious interval it seemed almost
probable that Mr.. s. H. Meredith's
store, the d. S. G., and the adjoining
buildings would have to go. Forum
ately the wind, which had been very
variable during the evening, lulled up,
and for this reason. no doubt, aided
by the strenuous exertions of the
volunteers, the confagration was ar
rested after the destruction of Mrs.
Dexters store.
The loss in both places was very
heavy, the hotel losing all the fur
niture and stock, including a Thur
ston billiard table, piano, new large
polyphone, which recently cost $3.50
all the chairs in the hall, two large
ice chests, and a very considerable
amount of liquor. Great sympathy is
expressed in all quarters for Bob"
Easthope, the CHEEKY proprietor Of
the international, at the loss he has
sustained
We hear that, although Messrs.
Pullack and Easthope are insured,
they will be considerable losers. Mrs.
Dexter suffered a heavy loss, the
value of the stock being very con-
siderable, which, together with the
furniture, was totally uninsured.
Mr. Perry and Mr.. Kershay both
have the sincere sympathy of every
one here. The former only returned
from Auckland by the last "Tofua,"
bringing with him a program to run
for three months, with weekly
changes. This, together with the ma
chine, engine, dynamo, and films
which were on hand could not be re-
placed for $4,000. Certainly Mr..
Perry's combination has been exceed
ingly unlucky during the past siz
months, as within that period they
have been shipwrecked in Fiji, and
now burnt out in Samoa.

In the course of construction of the

for this class of work was broken by
Mr.. Aston and the men under him,

The method used was similar to that

At the present time the work is

a claim that could not be sustained
in the courts, as one of a class de-
clared in Territorial and Federal de-
cisions outside of Territorial liability,
yet: "If it should be deemed advisable
to make an exception in this case
which might prove embarrassing in
other cases-the better course would
seem to be to do so by authorizing
the claimant to sue the Territory and
requiring him to establish his claim
in the usual manner in the courts,

for determining such matters"

Second They would gain time be-

Third. They would persuade

A STORY OF JOE CANNON.
Helps His Political Opponent to a
Fat Position in Washington.

Helps His Political Opponent to a
Fat Position in Washington.
1t is an interesting commentary on
the character of Un,le Joe Cannon
that the political opponent who wag-
ed the most brilliant and aggressive
campaign against him in years now
has good position in the pension
department at washington, largely
through the instrumeptaiity Of the
former speaker. Henry C. Bell of
Illinois was the democl attic nomi ace
fer congress in the paGville district
in 1908, and the way he burned the
bushes in his oratorical sweep over
the district caused the party leaders
to send Speaker Cannon out for a
thorough canvass for the frs time in
years. Mr.. Bell went after the Can
non record with hammer and tongs.
Not long ago Mr.. Bell, who has had
a Partially for the pension depart
ment ever since he served with abil-
ity in the position of assistant pen
sion commissioner under Cleveland,
walked into that department, hung
up his coat and hat, took up his pen,
and made himself at home. To those
who knew of his aggressive fight
against Speaker Cannon his presence
was a provided they did
not understand the prominent trait
in the character of the sturdy wheel
horse of the Old Guard, his admira-
ton and respect for a foeman worthy
OF his steel. There were other rea-
sons, perhaps, why Mr.. Bell was ap-
pointed to his present position, such
as his capacity to do the work and
hold down his job. But the fact re-
mains that he never could have hung
up his coat and hat in the pension
department had he encountered the
active opposition of Uncle Joe.
Among the recommendations given
him none was warmer than that
which he received from the old war
rior with whom he measured swords
in 1908.

If Jesus of Nazareth ruled today in
every human heart there would be no
need of peace societies, for the reign
of love would be universal and the
memory of war would be like bad
dream.
But the golden age is not yet here!

slowly. Meantime there are evil pas
sions unsubdued in many a heart.
Men deal with one another unfairly
and unkindly. Nations are tempted

Army of Migrants Larger Than Ever
Before, and the Number Is
Steadily Increasing.

NEW YORK There are more

er Migrants and beggars in New
York, according to figures given out
yesterday by the joint application
bureau of the Charity Organization
Society and the Association for the
Improvement of the Condition of the
Poor. Supt. Chas. K. Blatchley of
the bureau says there are now more
Migrants in this city than ever be-
fore, and the number is increasing,
he asserts, at an alarming rate.
Our own figures says Mr.
Blatchley 'show that in the six
months up to the end of last March
we had over $4,000 applications from
homeless men as compared with 49,
600 in the same length of time in
1910, an increase of so per cent The
Charity Organization Society reports
similar increase in the number of
applicants at their wood yard, and
we are sending them over 5000 a
month regularly.
I'VE maintain a social secretary at
the Municipal Lodging House, and it
is probable that the figures showing
the number of meR sheltered at this
institution furnish the most accurate
indication of the increase of home
lessness- is vagrancy-in this
city. During the last four months
the number of men sheltered there
has been practically twice as great
as it was in the first four months of
1910, and the total for the last year
was many thousands in excess of the
highest previous record, and nearly
three times as great as it was only
five years ago"
The superintendent favors a state
farm colony. The Migrants must
either work there or quit the state.

LIKE THE SIAMESE TWINS
MYSTERY OF AN INDIANA BOYS
DISAPPEARANCE EXPLAINED.
Body Found in a Cave in Oklahoma
Has Two Heads, -Four Arms
and -Four Feet.

The mummified body of child
was recently found in cave near
Okmulgee, Okla, by Bmmons Lowe,
a farmer hoy. The body has two
heads, four arms, four legs and four
feet, and is that of a person nearly
five feet tall. The arms are all Of
the same length, and reach nearly to
the ground.
The Lowe boy found the mummy
while hunting rabbits. He followed
his dog on the trail of rabbit into
the cave, and while cropping around
came upon the body. The Hesh on
the bones has dried, and apparently
there has been no decay.
Old residents in the vicinity OF the
cave say the body is that OF an
Indian boy who has been missing
several years. 1t was known to them
that there was such boy among the
Indians. He was kept out OF sight
as much as possible by the other
members of the tribe to which ne
belonged, but had been seen by
number of white persons.
John Pepper of Okmulgee said he
had seen the two-headed Indian boy
a number of times. The monstrosity
was in reality two persons with one
body, he said. The mummy is that
of two persons, apparently, even the
shoulders of each being separate and
perfect, the body very wide and the
lower limbs fully developed. The
bodies appear to be Joined together
below the shoulders and from there
down to the hips. Physicians have
examined the body and say there
are really two persons or two bodies,

boy or boys walked and talked when
alive. The Indians were ret1cent

TO ADVERTISE SOUTHERN RICE
Growers in Louisiana and Texas Will
Spend $3.50, 900 for Publicity.

A Houston, Texas, dispatch says
that Texas and Louisiana rice men
have hit upon novel plan to move
the excess stores of rice which are
on hand over the two states. At a
meeting of the Louisiana and Texas
Rice Millers and Distributors Asso-
citation at Lake Charles, La, it was
decided to raise annually $25O,OOO
for the advertising of rice grown in
the two states and aid in creating a
greater demand and consumption.
According to the plan each miller
will contribute 3 cents on every peck
ct passing through his mills. This
will be a contribution of 5 cents on
every 100 pounds Of rice cleaned.
The advertising fund will be used
in placing displays in newspapers OF
the nation and conducting demon
strating booths at fairs, expositions
and carnivals and in getting out re-
ceipt books fof free distribution
over the country.
