Friday, Dec. I, 1914, valuable field
lesson" was given when Miss +. NJ
Rees brought twenty-eight pupils of
the eth and Sth grades to Newcomb
College.
The annual exhibit of Christmas
work was on. This comprised beau
tiful art and craft work. Leather
work, metal and wood work as well as
paintings, drawings and the famous
pottery. Especially interesting did the
children find the metal work, spoons,
brooches, pins, buckles, etc.
The Art building was also visited
Here in addition to the usual number
of inspiring things was collection of
Robinson's water colors.
The building and grounds came in
for a share of attention while a game
of basketball put a pleasing bit of
fun for finish.
Pupils of the 9TH and Sth grades
wrote compositions Monday. Dec. Z, on
the Battle of Gettysburg. In this COM
petition all the public schools of the
city take part. Belleville has won
gold medal and second honor in past
contests when the subject appealed
more to girls than do battles of the
Civil War. However, earnest work has
been done this year and it is hoped
one of the schools of this district will
be successful

XMAS MAIL HINTS FROM UNCLE
SAM,

Washington, D. C.-Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson Joined the shop early"
campaign when he issued Christmas
suggestions with the Injunction: Mail
your parcels early" Official sanction
for the use on parcels of the caution:
do not open until Christmas" also
was announced.
Names. and addresses of senders
should be written on each package and
also included in the package, the sug-
gestions say. Postoffices annually are
confronted with the problem of dispos-
ing of thousands of parcels that have
lost their tags or outer covering, and
bear nothing to identify the sender or
addressee.
The suggestions point out that books
may be sent by parcels post, packages
weighing eight ounces or less taking a
rate of one cent for each two ounces or
fraction thereof. Regular zone rates
apply above that weight.
Additional rules applying specifically
to Christmas packages are:
You may insert in parcel mail writ
ten or printed inscriptions such as
Merry Christmas Happy New Year.
or With best wishes On fly leaves of
books you may write simple, dedicatory
inscriptions not of a personal nature.
If you desire a written communica-
ton to accompany your parcel enclose
it in an envelope, affixing first class
postage and tie securely to outside of
parcel. Place the stamps to cover the
postage of the parcel upon its wrapper
and those to pay postage of the CON-
munication on the envelope"

RUSSIANS TAKE JOHANNESBURG

LONDON Nov. 14-The Russians have occupied the city of Johannesburg in the southeast corner of East Ps sa and the occupation regarded fact of the greatest strategic importance The place situated on the border of the lake and swamp country and serves as strong posi- ton on which the Russians may rest their right wing while advancing Owing to the nature of the country the Germans in East Prussia will be unable to threaten the Russian right The Germans reported to have re- moved their guns from CracOw to Oppen on the river Oder southeast of Bresau in southeast SeSa It is also stated authoravey that the Ausrians have been left alone to defend CracOw while the Germans are concen- trating for the defence of German soil itself to te north The residents of East Sesa again reported to be fleeing from their homes into the heart of Germany to escape the Russian invasion which they evidently re- gard as imminent Cautious experts remind the people, however that the forresss of Glogau Posen, Cracow and Przeys still to be reckoned with in any Russian advance and that the river Oder itself is formidable obstacle even if the Russians succeed getting into Ger many proper.
 The garrison city of Danzig is said to loom large as
 the Russian objective although the reason for this is not at all evident To reach Danzig the invaders would be compelled to overcome the great fortresses along the Vstula and their taking of the place would have to be accomplished in spite of the German fleet in the Baltic

RIGGS TALKS
 ABOUT R. R. COMMISSIONER SAYS TT WILL PAY FROM THE BE-
 GINNING.

In an interview in the Seattle Times of Oct. 25 Commissioner Thomas Riggs of the Alaska railroad com mission declares that the govern ment now uses 25O,OOO tons of coal annually on the Pacific coast and that the coal used in Alaska itself is 30O,OOO tons annually. Fairbanks alone, he said, will give 15,000 tons of freight annually but he believes that the greatest traffic will come from the shipment of coke for the government smelter which the government will un- doubtedly build. Mir. Riggs is quoted as stating that Ship creek is closed " ice during the winter months and that the work has been done suffi- ciently to permit of the commence of construction work next spring if that is desired Mir. Riggs begins his statement by saying the railroad will pay from the beginning.

GAVE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
 TIME TO AID BUNNELL New Attorney General of the United States Makes Departure in
 Alaska Politics.

On the day following the telegram of President Wilson expressing the hope that Alaska would elect Bunnell the new attorney general of the United States telegraphed District Attorney Roth of Fairbanks giving him and his assistant in the office three days freedom from duty in order that they might assist in Mir. Bun nell's campaign. This fact is taken in Juneau and Fairbanks to prove clearly that when the president en- dorsed Bunnell he did so after thought and with the cabinet members on his side.
 This news has been conveyed here officially but in a roundabout manner. The message also states that Roth has appointed as assistant district attorney Harry A. Pratt and Reed Heilig.

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP
 GOV. ELECT WHITMAN

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-One of the greatest sensations in the history of New York was created this morning when it was learned that a powerful bomb was found under the office of District Whitman who is the governor elect of this state. At the time the bomb was discovered the offices were crowded with political and personal friends of the governor-elect so that the explosion would have taken an awful toll in lives some of VI ich would have been the lives of some . the most prominent men in this city The bomb was found carefully laid in the Tombs courthouse which is dir ectly under Whitman's offices. It con tained gunpowder, slugs and bullets and would have done frightful ex- ecution had it exploded. Another re- markable fact connected with it is that it was similar to the bomb which destroyed the entrance to the Bronx county courthouse the night before and this naturally leads to the con clusion that the same party or parties are responsible for both. So far as can be learned the police have not yet gained any clue to the fiends who placed the bombs but news along this line may be looked for shortly. Cover or-elect Whitman himself was in the office at the time of the discovery of the bomb.

VILLA HAS NOT GOT TAMPICO
Is NOW IN POSSESSION OF TOWN NEAR THAT
 CITY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The re- port that Villa had entered the city of rampico, as published yesterday, is premature. He and his army have ar rived at St. Lui Potosi near Tampico and there command the railroad in- to the latter city. The people in the neighborhood of St. Lui have shown the greatest enthusiasm for Villa and his cause. There is supposed to be, however, great force of Carranza troops in Tampico itself although this is only surmise. From Mexico this morning came further advices to the effect that negotiations are still pro- ceeding with a view to prevailing on Carranza to accept the findings and rulings of the convention.
