GIRL. PREVENTS KIDNAPPING
Through Telescope Sees Strange Man
Lead Little Girl Away.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 19.-Dorothy
Worthington, a quick-witted young
lady of Bloomsbury, by the aid of her
fathers telescope prevented fve-year-
old Elizabeth Colley from being kid
mapped. Sitting at a window of her
home, amusing herself looking through
the spyglass, she CHANGED to direct
the glass at the Cooley home some dis
ttance down the street. She saw lit
tie Elizabeth playing on the sidewalk.
Next she saw a strange man stop and
speak to the child, then she saw him
take the little ones hand and walk
down the street with her.
Miss Worthington had no doubt Of
his intentions. She dashed from the
house, ran down the street, and after
a long chase overlook them. Your
mother wants you," she called to the
little girl. For an instant the man
tried to induce the child to go with
him, then he dropped her hand and
walked rapidly away. The little girl
said the stranger had promised to
show her pretty rabbits nest.

Rioting and bloodshed in the "city OF

Importation by Voliva leaders OF
nearly two score guards from Chicago
to be on guard at the election brought
on the crisis. People went wild with
excitement as the final installment of
Voliva protectors marched in double
column from the railway station to
the Zion City hospice.

Locating Iceberus.

The captain of an ocean steamer In
most cases finds out when his vessel
is approaching an iceberg from the
men down in the engine room. That
sounds queer, but II is a fact never
theless. 1t appears that when a
steamship enters water considerably
colder than that through which 1t has
been going its propeller runs faster.
Such water usually surrounds the vici-
mage of icebergs for many miles.
When the propeller's action therefore
is accelerated without the steam pow
err being increased word is passed up
to the officer Oh the bridge that ice
bergs may be expected. and a close
lookout for them is established. There
are natural reasons for the propeller
acting In this way. and sea captains
will assert the same thing.

The property taxable values OF
Ellis county show gain Of more
than half a million dollars over last
year according to the rolls of Coun-
ty Assessor Willis. He has not yet
bad time to prepare an inventory Of
the various items on the taxable list,
but his grand total for the year 1911
is shown to be S35, 075,276. The to
tai valuation of property rendered
for taxation last year was S34 ,293,
$40. The gain over last year was
b$7S1,330, or $21S,670 short of
gain of one million dollars This is
certainly a fine record and shows
that in spite of two or three little
drouths the citizens of Ellis county
continue to prosper This wonderful
increase in the taxable values of the
county is due partly to natural eau
