"Yes. and also the names OF the

"Of course"

That's Just what I've got to ind out
from Young" said Davis, and in an
other minute he was fast asleep.
As saw Davis lying there new

the mere touch Of my hand SO 1olted
his shattered nerves that his whole
body bounded to the limit of his
bonds. His ughtened lips showed how
dimcult It was for him to suppress a
scream.
Look here, Young" said l, I've
come to ydI as friend to tell you
Just how the land lies. Rouser is dead
and the inspector has possession of
all his papers. He knows everything
about the yellow letters"
An evil smile was Young's only an

There are stacks and stacks of

You may have evidence against tha,

do you suppose he'd have me tied up

against me. He never will have.
Reach me that medicine"
He jerked his head in the direction
Of the morphine that lay so tantaliz-
ing near. There was something in
his voice. some indefnable power of
persuasiveness that almost Influenced
me to do what he asked. Involun-

FORGED TWO CHECKS.

An incident" says the Hagers-
town Mail, (which will be of inter
est to the business people of Hagers-
town, and detriment to some of the
employees of the W. NJ, as we'll as
other people handling checks, is the
fact that at the last W. NJ pay day
two checks, one for $S5 and the other
for 800, were gotten by the wrong
party and cashed by different banks
for a considerable loss. Both checks
were gotten by the same party and
the signatures of the parties to whom
they were payable were forged. The
handwriting on both checks is the
same. AS the matter now stands the
man who presents check will have
to be identified or personally ac-
quainted with the one who cashes it.
This will cause many people incon-
venience, as the business houses lave
cashing checks without having the
payer identified or knowing the per-
son to whom the check was payable
1.-The man who secured the two
checks went to the Office and gave
names of two of the employees. d"

Moving Picture Treat.
Dante's Inferno To Be SilO wn
In Pictures In ThurmOnt.


Mr.. Lewis O'Toole who has been
amusing many persons OF this place
and vicinity with moving pictures in
Town Hall, advertises in this issue,
fine program for Saturday evening
of this week.
For Saturday evening, March Sth,
he has secured and will show one OF
the greatest pictures ever produced !,
the title of which is "Dante's Infer
no." This picture is shown in
five reels and was produced at cost
of more than 500, 900. The follow
ing is a short explanation of the orr
gin of Dante's Divine Comedy, more
of which will be given next week:
THE Divine Comedy of Dante, one OF
he greatest monuments of human gent
is, owes it's origin to little girl who had
rarely reached the age of nine years
when she became it's inspiration. Dante
When a boy of nine attended festival in
lis native city of Florence. The children
we're always deeply interested in these
festivals in which flowers and prayers
formed prominent part. At this festi-
val the boy Dante met little girl and
was Immediately ravished by her angelic
,eauty. 1t is said by the writer of this
story that the beauty of Beatrice, or as
she was oftener called, "Bice,' was
strikingly spiritual and the sentiments it
produced in the heart of Dante were OF
he purest kind, untainted by even the
remotest suggestion of any sensual atfec-
ion. 1t appears that Dante only saw
Beatrice few times afterwards and then
only for brief moments, but so deep had
been her sweetness and purity that her
image never left his mind and he early
resolved to make her immortal in man.
Ter never before attempted. In this, as
we all know, he succeeded. Beatrice has
become the embodiment and symbol OF
)ure and uplifting womanhood to all who
rave ever in the course of the centuries
heard of the poem. Beatrice died at the
age of twenty-four in 1890 and it was
then that the plan of Dante to immortal
re her took definite shape. The great
poet places her in Paradise, where she
wells in floods of crystal light among
the blessed. When he is lost in the wild
forest Beatrice sends Virgil, pious pa
gan poet of olden days, to be his escort
through the Inferno Hell or the under
world until such time as she herself will
become his guide through the other por-
tons of the created universe.
"The pictures of this great work so
loosely follow the words and ideas of the
poet that in describing the one we cannot
help depicting the other"

WEATHER FORECASTS.

Long range weather forecasts, so
long discredited by scientific men
appears to be gaining responsibility,
little by little, with the progress of
meteorology. In the United States
Weather Bureau, Sunday forecasts
for week in advance have become
an established institution. In Dutch
East India forecasts of the strength
and weather characteristics of the
easterly monsoon are issued in April
each year. In these cases the fore
casts deal with only the broader feat
ures of the weather over wide areas.

Madero and Suarez Shot.
Killing Said To Have Been Ac-
cidental, But Believed by Few.

Francisco |. Madero, former presi-
dent, and Jose Pine Suarez, vice
president Of Mexico, were killed in q
midnight ride from the national pal
ace to the penitentiary in Mexico city
last Saturday night.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of these men are unknown. rx-
cept as given out by officials at the
head OF the government, and the re-
ports differ.
The provisional president, Gen.
Huerta, says the killing OF the two
men was incidental to a fight between
their guards and party attempting
to liberate the prisoners, and that thr
prisoners attempted to escape.
A great part Of the public regards
the official version with doubt, hav-
ing in mind the use for centuries OF
the notorious "Lcy Fuga," the I'M
written law, which is invoked when
the death of a prisoner is desired.
After it's application there is written
on the records, Prisoner shot trying
to escape"
The press of this nation and of
Europe denounce the killing OF these
men as senseless and barbarous.
The killing of Medero and Suarez
tends to add to the gravity of the sit
uation between the United States anf
Mexico, and foreign papers, princi
pally in London, are beginning to
think it is time that the United States
intervene and call halt affairs in
Mexico.

To American Redmen.
Taft Turns First Spadeful OF
Earth For National Memorial.

President Taft turned the first
spadeful of earth Saturday last in
preparation for the national memorial
to the North American Indians which
will be erected at New York on an
eminence overlooking the harbor.
With a pillared museum at its base
beneath the towering pedestal, q
bronze figure OF an Indian is to stand
with hand uplifted and two fingers
pointing out to sea, the universal
peace sign of the red man.
This statue, which is to rise l65
feet above the crest of the hill, will
stand where it may be seen by all the
ships from the Battery to Sandy Hook
AZ a lasting memorial to 4 vanishing
race.
When Mr.. Taft thrust the spade
deep into the soil that the Indian
once owned the inaugural ceremonies
had begun. For all the dismal skies
and drizzling rain, a notable com
pany was gathered all around him.
Rodman Wanamaker. the father anG
hacker of the whole project, stood at
the Presidents side. Mrs. Taft was
there; Rear Admiral Osterhaus at
tended for the navy and Major-Gen-
eral Barry represented the army.
And there were others, and most
interesting of all. and as distinguish
ed as any, were the SO chiefs Of In
dian tribes, old men Of the purest
Indian blood, who had come East
from the reservations to share in the
ceremonies at Fort Wadsworth. They
came resplendent in the feathers and
buckskin and beads of their tribal
dress and the paint cleaned from
tntlr nlgn cneek bones.
The guns OF the fort roared ma
tional salute of II guns at the mo-
ment the President placed his foot on
the spade. As he stepped back, Chief
Hollow Horn Bear, OF the Yankton
Sioux, came forward from the group
and upturned second bit of earth
with the thigh bone of a buffalo. That
done, the Chief replied, with a speech,
to an address by the President.
As Hollow Horn Bears voice died
away the Stars and Stripes were run
up on a great hagpole near by to the
rhythm of Indian folksongs, sung by
the chieftains. When the flag reached
the top the band played The Star
Spangled Banner"
