He was running away from ills Mr.. Dor

The miserable impostor had to admit that

Burns said that 'the average private detec-

So he is. But Burns is much worse than

He is probably the most diabolical villain

Few cases upon which I have worked mani
tested more obviously the crimna Turn of mind
Of the perpetrator. And l can say this much:
am perfectly satisfied with results. l am utterly
confident of success, and there is positively no
doubt in my mind that I will soon be able to
point concusiVely at the slayer of Mary Phagan
In fact the detection OF the murderer of that
little girl is q matter so simple that really there
was no use at all in bringing me to Atlanta to
work on it.

Quo Vadis, one of the greatest novels ever written. has been reproduced in motion pictures at stupendous cost and will be shown at the Lyric Theatre tonight and tomorrow. It takes eight full reels to show all of this wonderful masterpiece. The scene is laid in Rome during the reign of Nero, the despotic ruler of the ancient Romans, and at the time the Christians were being Derse- cuted. During the play the scene in the wonderful bath of Petronius, the burning of Rome, the throwing of the Christians to the lions in the ampi- theatre. the rescue of the beautiful Lypia from the horns of the wild bull by the giant Ursus, the vision which appeared to the apostle Peter, and Nazarius as they were leaving Rome, and deserting their Christian brethren, and many otber beautiful and stirring scenes are re produced true to life. The films were made in Rome by the Italiane Cines company and arc abso lutely true to life as it was in those days. The three great scenes, Rome in flames. the persecution of the Christ ians. and the contest of strength be- tween the bull and Ur5us, are alone worth the price, but these three taken in connection with the rest of the eight reels make the greatest production ever shown on Douglas Island The films have been secured after much trouble and expense by Mr. Fred Pur- iutou, formerly of Douglas, and will be shown tonight and tomorrow. On account of the fame of these pictures and the great cost of production the price will be raised to 50 and 9 cents. Advertisement.

The interior of the Treadwell store IS undergoing numerous alterations which promises to add to it's attrac ness, and convenience as we'll. The old spiral stairway has served out it's use- fitness and will give place to a less artistic but more practical one.
 The first taste of real winter came yesterday morning, in the shape of a Taku wind which blew the soft snow in clouds from the mountain tops It looked like the beginning of a serious storm, but by evening clouds had over spread the sky, and rain began to fall. This morning it was still raining, but the snow line on the mountain is com ing pretty close.
 A fire at the store of Louis Saloum on St. Ann avenue Thursday morning, destroyed a portion of the stock before it was stopped by the St. Ann chemical There was DO fire in the stove in the store nor in the living rooms back of it., but sparks dropping down the chimney from the upper story in some manner escaped into the store and set fire to shelving.
 Fred Puriuton, our old "War Horse Fred. :" is here with the Quo Vadis show, which is on at the Lyric tonight and tomorrow. Fred has been kept busy since his arrival in Douglas, shaking hands with old friends. Fred's last public appearance in Douglas was on top of John Feusi's roof the night of the big fire, an event that is still fresh in the minds of Douglasites. He is still as big aud strong and hearty look ing as ever, and declares that Ketchi kan is the best town on the map. We understand that he has prospered in the "First City," where he is proprietor of the "Dream" theatre.
 Things happen in real life that are just as funny as the 'Smatter Pop' kid. A Douglas lady has two little graudsons whom she dotes on and loves Co talk about. The younger of the two, a mere baby just learning to talk, makes full use of the accomplishment in givingplay to his imagination, very much like many other people. One day he told his grandmother in the strictest confidence: To-day l saw a caterpillar, and l snapped it until the blood came Then looked at the cat erpillar and said, 'Oh, excuse me, Mir Caterpillar aud the caterpillar said: 'Why, certainly, John.'

The other day little Douglas boy had a birthday party, at which he en- tertaiued a number of boy friends. Now it's the best style in Douglas when you are invited to a birthday party, to take along a present The character of these presents is regulated both by the liberality aud prosperity of the guest. In this case two of the invited guests were unable to buy a present, but, act. ing on the advice of some of the other lads. they attended anyway. All went merry until the refreshments were served aud the boyish mirth was at it's height. then the host stopped between moutbfuls, looked across the table and shouted: "Say, fellers, ain't them guys got their gall, to come here and eat all this good stuff, and not briug me any present."

The work Is heaviest in the Gushing

ton there, which amounts to 95,73S
barrels a day from the seventy eight
wells that are producing. The Ell
pacity OF the pipe lines is much less
than this amount and the prorating
is a matter OF mathematics and gaug-
field are small, having capacity from
25o to I600 barrels Gauging will be
by actual measurement ana there Is
every reason to expect that the cry
OF discrimination will be heard no
more while the umpire is employed
But that is not solving the problem
presented by local overproduction
This can be overcome only by strict
adherence to the rule that is part of
the agreement which provides that no
wells shall be brought in that do not
have to he brought in TO protect the
lease.
