FRENCH HOLD POSTS
Kaiser. it is Believed, is Contemplate
ing Second Movement Towards
I'aris-No New Gains.

Paris, Jan. 16.--Fighrlng in The vi
cinity Of Scissors continues uncheck-
ed. The French are maintaining their
positions along the Aisne, while re-
endorsements arc being relshed to 't.e
new line in anticipation Of another
German attempt to hac. way
through the allies lines. Artillery has
been placed in position SO that the
en5ire river angie is covered, and 1t
will be impossible for the Germans
to run pontoons to carry their men
over.
There is no doubt now that the
German general staff is planning to
renew its drive against Paris. Ten
arn,y corps are reported to have Been
scn1 TO the battle front stretching
along the Aisne and north OF Arras
They are all first line veterans who
have been withdrawn from the
Meusc lines and from Flanders,
where their places have. heef taken
jy the second line, considered suih"
cie.:t to hold the positions under pre-
sent conditions.
peports today said that the Ger
rams had made 10 new gains. Al
ready a part Of the Paris garrison
has been sent north 70 strengthen
the frontier line.

FOLLOWING UP CLEMS.
Belief That Perpetrators OF Murders
in County Came From
New York.

Believing they are hot oil tine trail
of the two burglars who last Satur-
d:le right killed, two men, and serl-
ousIy wounded Mrs. Matte A.
Hughes, better known as FRANKIE
Harris" at her home near Clark Sta
lion, Alexandria County, Washing
ton detectives and the county author
tiles arc at work upon clcws in New
York.
Practically all the clews now in
possession of the authorities point to
New York as the place from which
the siayers came. The hat found
near the scene of the tragedy was
purchased in New York store; the
pocket flashlight was a New York
product; the rich man who nearly q
month ago shotup the Hughes res
idence is from New York. and the
parcel post receipt found not far from
the Virginia home bore the name Of
New York man.
There were four points Of local i'm
portance brought to light in connec-
ton with the case yesterday. An
overcoat found near the scene OF the
tragedy last Sunday morning was
found to have blood stains on the
cuffs-in about the same relative
place where blood was discovered on
the sleeves Of the blue sweater found
only short distance from where the
other articles Of evidence were dis
covered.
4 large black silk handkerchief
was also found. 1t is believed this
was used by one Of the men as g.
mask. Searchers in the neighborhood
also have found yellow kid glove,
supposed to have been dropped by
the burglars in their flight.
One of the most unique develop
ments Yesterday was the discovery Of
three teeth said to have been knocked
from the mouth Of Mrs. Hughes by
her assailant. Although the strug-
gle occurred in the rear of the hail
on the first floor Of the house, the
teeth were found in bureau draw
er in middle room on the second
story, to which the wounded woman
staggered after she regained con-
sciousness.
While efforts are now being direct
ed principally toward New York by
the authorities, some Of the dctec-
tiVes working on the case still hold
to the belief that the murders may
have been committed by soldiers from
Fort Myer. The burglars upon leav-
| ing the Hughes home evidently cut
across from Mount Vernon avenue
into Fort road, which leads to the
army post by a circuitous ronte. :

tiveness to milady's eye, and include
everything from fancy jewelry to the
usual display of fancy and elaborate
handkerchiefs. Little gold and enamel
vanity cases, with chain and finger

watch bracelet is to be found in all
varieties and styles, while the fancy
combs for hair ornaments are much be-
jeweled and make an appreciable gift.
Another article which Is becomin g
most popular for the Christmas gift Is
the ivory toilet set. Every needed and
necessary article of this kind can be
furnished from the scissors to useful
little clock for the dressing table. Rib
bon novelties are also holding their
own. there being an especially allur-
ing display of useful and dainty little
articles made from different colors and
ribbon designs. There are big and lit
tie bags to carry to parties, needis
cases, pin cushions, spool cases. the
tiny vanity bag with powder puff and

Beautiful lines OF leather Christmas
novelties such as engagement books,
diaries, shopping lists, telephone pads.

while Mason City paid 1881, a differ
ence in our favor of 1881.
Exhibitors are asking for larger
premiums and the public is yearly de-
handing better shows and more at
fractions. Fairs must either increase
their attendance and in this way get
more gate receipts or increase the price
of admission in order to be able to
meet the constantly growing demand
for money to pay the premiums and
ordinary expenses of operation. So far,
our yearly increase in gate receipts
has kept pace with necessary increase
in opera ting the fair, but the time
will soon come when all the fairs in
Iowa will make a uniform price OF

important matter is presented to you
for your consideration without recon-
mendation from either the executive
committee or myself.
