A correspondent for a well known
periodical hsays that her heart aches
for the Minnesota professor who is
being tried for killing laundryman.
While grief for the professor is not
universal. a good many condone the
alleged offense. They do so. however.
upon the ground that the professor
killed the laundryman for putting a
shine on his linen. If they understood
that the professor shot the laundry
man for fooling with his wife they
would lose interest in the matter.
Fooling with another mans wife is a
purely local matter, effecting only the
community in which it occurs. but put
ting a shine on a collar is a national
abuse.

The death of Chicago man is as
cribed to the fact that a cigarette set
his clothing on fire. The only i'm
possible thing about that feat is that
it can not be performed. The cigar
ette has its shortcomings. but it does
not set fire TO anything. You doubt
the assertion? Well. conduct a series

RAzING BIG HOUSE
Material Of Old Parr Man

Livery Barn.

Robert Brown, contractor, with a
force of men began work Tuesday
morning of razing the old Parr resi-
dence on Lee street, lately occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Parr. The
building as it stood was sold by the
Lee Street Land Company to William
Pinnell, liveryman, and he will use
the material for the erection of a
large livery barn on sixth street near
West Pike
The house is large one having
sixteen rooms and brick walls a yard
thick. 1t was the intention of the
land company to have it moved to
lots west of the site for the new high
school and to convert it into an apart
ment house, but this plan, while
feasible, was abandoned when a reas-
enable offer was made for the house.

BIG RECORD MADE
BY RAILROAD POLICE
Baltimore and Ohio Secret
Service Men Make More
Than 10000 Arrests.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 2S.-iCov-
ertng the activities Sof the police de-
partment of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad system for the calendar year
1912, Grant a. ogline. superintendent
of police, has submitted the annual
report OF his department that shows
the vigilance exerted in protecting
the travelling pu5lic, shippers and
other patrons, as well as the railroad
itself, against criminal depredations.
The report shows that during the year
10!417 arrests We're made for various
offenses, felonies and misdemeanors.
While this number of arrests denotes
a decrease in crime and petty ofrenses
as compared with the previous year,
the report of the superintendent Of
police of the Baltimore and Ohio
points out the way to even greater re-
auctions through the full cooperation
Of state municipal, county and town
ship police officials and the courts.
The most frequent recurring offense
with which the Baltimore and Ohio
police officials had to cope during the
year, was for violation of railroad
laws, embodying vagranoy, trespass-
ing and unlawful train riding, the
number of arrests made for such Of
lenses totaling 6,S91. Commenting
upon the phase OF his report, superin-
tendent Ogline says: Most Of these
arrests were for trespassing, and from
the study made OF the question during
my travel over the American railroads
last year. 1t is evident that the tres
passing evil is growing rapidly. This
is true despite the efforts which have
been made to educate the public TO
keep away from railroad tracks and
property, where danger continually
exists. All railroad police depart
ments are cognizant OF the large in
crease in trespassers on their proper
ties, and 1t would seem that the only
possible solution of the problem is tc
be found through the corporation

BEETLES
Kill Millions of Trees in the
Forests Of the Western
Country.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-The
Black Hills beetle which, through
neglest to apply the proper methods
of control at the proper time, killed,
during the period from 1897 to 1907,
more than a billion feet board meas
urc of the merchantable sized timber
in the Black Hills of South Dakota,
was found in 1911 to be threatening
similar devastations in the valuable
timber of the Tongue river indian
reservation of the Cheyenne Indians
in southeastern Montana.
A cooperative beetle control pro-
ject was organized in which the
Branch of Forest Insec.>s of the Blu
reau OF Entomology, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, gave advice
and instructions, the Indian Service
of the Department of the Interior
furnished the funds, and the Cheyenne
Indians did the work.
Eleven thousand and seventeen
trees we're cut and harket between
July 1, 1911 and July /, 1912 in order
to destroy the beetles. The fact that
a large percentage of the trees which
harbored the beetles was sawed into
lumber by mills installed for that
purpose resulted in total net cost of
but $9O3,5S against a probable saving
for the next ten years, in the stump
age value of the trees. setimated at
$500 to 100000.
