ANOTHER TRANSLATION
 OF ToLsToYs PROPHECY

@This is a revalation of events of a universal character, which must shortly come to pass. Their outlines are now before my eyes. see floating upon the surface of the sea of human fate the huge silhouette of a nude wo. man. She is--wlth her beauty. her boise, her smile, her jewels-a Super. Venus. Nations rush madly after her. each of them eager to attract her es- pecially. But she, like an eternal cour- tesan, flirts with all. In her hair or naments of diamonds and rubies is engraved her name: 'Commerciallsm.' As 'alluring and as bewltching as she seems, much destruction and agony follow in her wake.
 And behold, she has three gigantic arms with three torches of universal corruption in her hand. The first torch represents the flame of war, the second torch bears the flame of big otry and hypocrisy, and the third torch is that of the law.
 "The great confagaration will start about 1912, set by torch of the first arm in the countries in the Southeast ern Europe. It will develop into a de- structive calamity in 1913. In that year see all Europe in flames and bleeding. I hear the lamentations of huge battlefields. But about the year 1915 a strange figure from the North new Napoleon-enters the stage of the bloody drama. He is man of little militaristic training, writer or journalist, but In his grip most of Eu- rope will remain till 1925.
 "The end of the great calamity will mark a new political era for the old world. There will be left no empires or kingdoms, but the world will form federation of the United States of Nations. There will remain only four great giants-the Anglo-Saxons, the Latins. the Slays and the Mongolians."

HORRORS OF WAR AS
 SEEN ON GROUND

P. j.. Philip, New York World and London News correspondent at the front, gives this graphic picture of the field of the aBttle of Haelen after the conflict:
 Across the battlefield of Diest there is a brown stretch of narrowed ground over hundred yards long. It is the grave of twelve hundred Germans who fell in the fight of Wednesday. All over the field there arc other graves, some of Germans, some of Belgians, some of their horses.
 When l reached the place this af. ternoon, peasants with long mattocks and spades were turning up the soil. For two full days they have been at the work of burial. They were sick at heart. Their corn is ripe for cut. ting in the battlefield, but little of 1t will be harvested. The paths in their turnip fields are sodden with the blood of men and of horses.
 "The battle-ground should be called Haelen rather than Diest, for 1t was in and through and behind the little village of Haelen that the deadly test of strength took place. The result has been already stated. The Ger. mans lost three-hfths of their force of 5000 men. Two thousand were killed, eight hundred wounded and three hun dred taken prisoners.
 "So far as numbers so the fight was small, considering the enormous ar mics in the field; but there is ample evidence that 1t was fierce out of all proportion to 1t siez,"

OUR MAN oF pEAcE

Thanks to Woodrow Wilson's stead fast adherence to the ways of peace. in face of widespread and hysterical clamor for war, this country is today a vast workshop instead of an armed camp Instead of having sown the seed of lasting hatred in the breast of a neighboring nation. we have strengthened the bonds of friendship, and won the respect and trust of all the nations of the two Americas. Nor can anyone say that we have lost prestige in the eyes of the warlike nations of Europe Boston Advertiser, (Rep.)

A GREAT WORK.

The big thing President Wilson ac- complished in the Mexican matter was not with Mexico so much as with the United States. How big d thing 1t is to allay an aroused war spirit Is shown by the European troubles. Only a commanding personality could have played with fire Gas Mir. Wilson played with it when he ordered the fleet and the soldiers to Vera Cruz). and not have been scorched or have set the country in conflagration.-Kansa City Star Ind.)

Reconstruc- ton of the steamship Admiral Watson at cost of approximately Sl5O,OOO and the establishment of the deadweight ton system as a basis for freight charges have been definitely decided on by the Pacific Alaska Navigation company. operating the Admiral Line in the seattle-San Francisco and Se- attle-Alaska routes.
 Announcement of the program adopted was made this morning by General Manager c. w. Wiley, of the company, in connection with the re. ceipt of adylces that the lines new steamship Admiral Dewey passed through the Panama Canal yesterday on her way to eSattle. The Admiral Schley the company's other new liner, lis expected to pass through the canal today.
 The company expects to rebuild the Admiral Watson at the plant of the Seattle Construction & Drydock com. pany. Her passenger accommodations win be greatly enlarged. At present the vessel has accommodations for 50 frst-class passengers and limited number of steerage passengers. She will be rebuilt to provide accommoda- tions for 1SS first-class passengers and 15O steerage.

The Watson will be provided with cold storage space and machinery, and in addition her fuel oil capacity will be enlarged.
 VIII Be Withdrawn.
 The Watson at present is operated on the Seattle-San Francisco run, but on the arrival of the Dewey and Chley will be withdrawn from the route for the reconstruction work. After she is rebuilt she will be added to the com. pany's Alaska fleet,-seattle Times.

CRAZED YAQUl INDIAN KILLED BY SHELTER WATCHMAN, WELL KNOWN HERE, IN DEFENSE
 OF HIS LIFE AT THE COPPER QUEEN PLANT

paneIed to view the remains of the deceased this morning gathered in Judge Maclay's uulCe Co hear the testimony of few witnesses, the substance of which testimony was that the deceased had been given ample warming Co leave the premises in order to avoid any trouble but re- fused to do so, having in his hand throughout the controversy with Mir Johnston a jackknife, which was open, and with which he made threatening gestures toward Mir Johnston, who finally fired several shots at the Ya- uuis feet in order to scare him off. The shots seemingly had no effect in frightening Gomez into leaving, and the last shot fired by Mir John ston was the fatal one.
 The testimony of Johnston showed conclusively that it was necessary to fire the fatal shot in order to save his own life, as the Yaqui was in- toxicated and evidently had in wind to make trouble at the shelter.
 The coroner's jury returned a yer dict that Gomez "died of a gunshot wond inflicted by R. P. Johnston, a night watchman at the Copper Queen shelter In the belief of the jury Johnston was justified and our rec ommendation is that he be not held to answer the charge of murder"
 The dead man was not a regular employe in the furnace room where the shooting occurred. The regular fireman had left the job earlier in the night When the Yaqui ap- peared the watchman had no req. son to believe that he was there to work and naturally when he, the watchman, was assailed with a knife he at once warned the supposed iu. tIuder away and finally shot him.

R. P.Jobuston, night watchmau at the sampliug works of the Copper Queen -smelter formerly of this city and well known here, Tuesday night at 11:45 killed an unknown Aaqm Indian m seu-uelense. Ine uulau had a knife with when he attacked Johnston, who killed bis assailanJ only after repeatedly warning him to leave, and then firing to scare him before he shot to kill. The Naqui however, who was apparently crazed by drink refused to cease his ad- vance with the murderous knife.
 According to Jonnston's story. the other watchman had gone home ou account Of sickness and he was left alone He noticed the Indian, in his shirt sleeves, slip down the steps into the boiler room. As the passage way to the room is long and dark and would place him at a disadyent- age in case of a struggle, he waited outside until the man emerged fit- teen minutes later bearing in his hand a long keen knife.
 Johnston told the Indian he had better go home, but he only placed his knife behind him and advanced, offering to shake hands Again he was warned away and when he con- tinued his advance Johnston shot near his feet to scare him. As this had no effect he put a bullet through the calf of his leg. then one through the right ugh, which spun him around, and then the fatal one be- low the heart. The man then lurched down the steps toward the engine room where a few moments later he was found on the bench in the passageway. dead

 His cabinet mystery is beyond any doubt the most Imaginable mystery that has ever been presented on local stage He is bound hand and foot with strong ropes by a committee from the audience and placed in a small velvet cabinet on an openly lighted stage and the second the cabinet is closed manifestations occur. musical instruments are played by unseen hands. tambourines are thrown out, and bells are rung, and when the cabi- net is opened every knot is found tied.
 Miss Martell also presented a won derful act never before seen on a local stage. Standing with her feet flat on the floor she actually grows three ofour inches, and her arms grow from six to seven inches. She has a very pleasing personality and sings three very catchy songs that get the audience with her right from the start.
