 Again when it was known that a conjunction of three planets was to occur in this watery sign in the year 1924, the prediction was made that our world would then be destroyed by a second deluge This prediction caused great consternation in that day "a consternation wholly groundless, for 1t happened that that particular season was an unusually dry one. And finally, some readers may remember that in the year 1881, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn were again here close to- gether for many evenings, forming most beautiful figure in the sky.

SUGAR CONFERENCE
 IS IN SESSION
Russia Desirous of Increasing Her Sugar Exports to European
 Markets

Brussells October 29.-The International Sugar conference is in session as the re- quest of the Russian government. Since 1907 Russia has been bound by an agree ment to limit her sugar exports to 100000 tons yearly until 1913, but during 1911 the sugar trade has enormously expanded in Russia, and the Russian government Is anxious to be allowed to increase her sugar exports to the European markets.
 If, as is unlikely, the other powers should agree to sign new agreement. the price of sugar is sure to fall on Ell ropean and American markets.

CALL TOWEL LAW A JOKER"
Purpose of Legislature to Prohibit
Use in Hotels and Other Public
Places Proves Futile.

Madison.-The old germladen dis
ease transmitting roller towel is still
widely used in hotels in Wisconsin in
spite of the new law passed by the
last legislature, which was intended
to put it out of existence
The law, as originally drafted, alb
solutely prohibited the use of the roll
Ter towel in hotels and other public
places, but just before it was passed
a provision was added giving the
state and local boards of health
authority to grant hotels permission
to use such towels
The state board of health has so
far refused every request for a per-
nit, but nearly every local board has
granted one or more permits.
Proprietors of hotels in the small
er cities and villages of the state
have been quick to take advantage OF
the opportunity to continue the use
Of the roller towel
The next legislature will be asked
to amend the law so as to prohibit
the use Of the roller towel in hotels
as it is now prohibited in all other
public places

SIX FOUND SLAIN
IN THEIR HOMES
Two Families Murdered In Colo
RADIO Springs.
HEADS SPLIT WITH AN AXE
Man, Two Women and Three Chill
dren Are Killed by Same AS
sassins-Husband of One
Victim Is Held

Colorado Springs, Colo.-Murdered
Identified person who used an AK,
the bodies of six persons in two
neighboring houses were found in a
thickly settled section of the city.
The head Of every one of the vic
tins had been cut and smashed with
an axe until the brains oozed out and
the rooms were flooded with blood.
For the last three days the bodies of
the murdered lay rotting in their own
blood, while the murderer who welded
the axe is still at large.
The victims are:
Mrs. ALICE MAY BURNHAM,
aged thirty-four; her six-year-old
daughter and two-year-old son, found
in bed at 1921 West Dale street.
Mrs. BLANCHE WAYNE, aged
forty-ive.
HENRY F. WAYNE, aged fifty, and
their one-year-old baby, found in bed
at 742 Harrison street
A. J. Burnham, cook at the Modern
Woodmen sanitarium, and husband OF
one of the murdered women, was
taken into custody by the sheriff while
on his way to the scene of the crime.
Medical Director ]. A. Rutledge, of
the sanitarium, is positive that Burn
ham has not been away from the sani-
tarium since Sunday afternoon. All
Of the murdered were last seen alive
Sunday night about 9 o'clock. Never
theless, Burnham is still being held.
Every circumstance connected with
the crime points to cold-blooded, de-
liberate murder so blood-curdling that
it is almost impossible to conceive of
it's having been perpetrated by any
human being The murderer entered
each house through the back door,
which was unlocked, and used his axe
while the occupants of the house lay
asleep in bed Not content with
smashing the skulls of his victims,
the murderer used the blade of the
axe and hacked them about the head
and shoulders, Wayne's head was
battered and cut to pieces The skull
of his infant was crushed like an egg
shell.

Lost Mustache while He Slept.


DR. Charles Auer of Nyack was
very angry man when he arrived home
minus his black mustache, of which
he was proud, says a dispatch to the
New York Herald. His loss was dis
covered when he awoke about six
o'clock at the camp conducted every
year by the boys of Grace Episcopal
church. That is, part Of his loss was
discovered; this was that some of the
boys had cut of one-hah Of his mus
tache in the night
DR.. Auer is employed at the Tar
rytown hospital. He visited the camp
with the Rev. E. L. Reed, curate OF
Grace church, and laughingly told the
campers of efforts to persuade him to
cut off his adornment.
Some OF the boys after midnight
crept into the physicians bunk, and
armed with scissors, did the dark deed
while the physician slumbered.
When DR.. Auer discovered what
had happened he obtained a rowboat
and went to Haverstraw, a half mile
above the camp, where he sought a
barber and had the job completed.

CIVIL WAR PERIL
GAINS IN SPAIN
Armed Force of 5000 Moves on
City of Valencia.
KING IN CHARGE OF AFFAIRS
Entire Army Under Arms and Are
Marching to Points Where Situa-
ton Is Critical = News
Vigorously Censored.

Madrid, Spain-The government,
acting under the imperial decree
suspending the constitutional guar
antees because of revolutionary &C
tivity, has ordered the arrest OF
workingmen's committees and politi-
cal agitators in the disturbed district.
Three hundred persons were imprls-
oned in this city. At Barcelona 158
persons were apprehended, and many
were taken into custody at Bilbao, Sc
vile, Valencia and Saragossa.
The city of Valencia is the storm
center of the Spanish revolution. An
armed force of more than 5000 revolu-
tionists, led by former army officer,
is advancing on the city.
The revolutionists have destroyed
all the telegraph lines on their line
of march, and on that account details
of the situation are difficult to obtain.
King Alfonso is personally in charge
of the situation and is directing the
movement of the troops from the
palace, issuing his orders through
Premier Canalejas. The entire Span
of troops are on the move to points
where the situation is critical.
The king declared that if necessary
the cities of Alcira and Carcagente,
where the commune was established
will be destroyed
Two torpedo boats are speeding I'M
der rush orders to Villaneuva del
Grao, the seaport of Valencia, to
guard the harbor and to land marines
If the military force is unable to cope
with the invading force.
All news dispatches are being rig
Idly censored. Reports of disturb
ances reaching here are withheld
from the wires and cables.
Developments indicate that the
strike is SPREADING and that the forces
of the revolutionists whose designs
are against the throne and are not
concerned with labor, will be greatly
augmented by the workingmen. Thir-
" thousand men in the building
trades have received an order to stop
work. This number of men is nearly
one-half the number of available
troops at the kings command. The
absence of the greater part of the
military in Morocco presents sefi-
Gus problem.
A score OF persons We're killed at
Valencia in the rioting and subse-
Suent clashes with troops.
The situation in the provinces is
uncertain. The revolutionary move
ment received a setback at Bilbao
when the rioting ceased and condi-
lions returned to normal following
the arrest of Is leaders of the out
break, but this improvement was
more than offset in the province of
Cordova. where a general strike was
called. No previous trouble had
been reported from Cordova. The re-
volt there viii seriously affect the
extensive coal mines at Belmez and

IRELAND Is TIED UP
BY RAILROAD STRIKE
Strike Leaders Are Demanding GEN
erai Walkout Which Would involve
England, Scotland and Wales.

Dublin.-The tying up Of three big
railroads has resulted in paralyzing
the industry and traffic of Ireland, and
prices of food are still ascending rap
idly.
Strike leaders are demanding ma
tional walkout, which would Involve
England, Scotland and Wales as well
as Ireland The tieup in Ireland is
more serious than was that resulting
from the recent general strike. Ship
ping labor has not been affected, but
it may be at any day
The desperate state of affairs orig
mated in an insignificant trade dis
quite among few carriers. laborers
and other employees of the timber mer
chants in Dublin, A labor organizer
formerly an official OF the English
Union of Stock Laborers, and a leader
in fierce labor disputes in Belfast
and Cork in the last two or three
years, invited the timber trade en-
ployes to cooperate The timber mer
chants forbade the men to join this
union. The men disregarded the
wishes of their employers and were
locked out
The dispute attracted little atten-
ton until last Friday, when Great
Southwestern Railway employees in
Dublin struck because the company
would not refuse to handle freight
sent by the timber merchants. There
was an immediate flare up. The stats
of the passenger trains left work Sat
urday and they were followed by the
locomotive firemen, the signal men and
the rest.
