The Bulgalians Have Taken

(By United Press Leased wire.)


Paris. Oct. 25.-Horrible cruelties
are being visited on Serbians by the
Bulgarian invaders OF that country,
according to dispatches today from
Salonlki. Neither side expects or
grants any quarter. The troops Of
both armies seem actuated by fiery
personal hatred. The dispatches al
lege that the Bulgarians are slaugh-
tering non-combatants by the whole
sale, not even sparing aged men and
women and little children.
Following Sofas official claim that
the Bulgarians have captured Uskub,
Car Ferdinand's troops are rushing
reinforcements across the Saloniki-
Nish railroad. The occupation of
this city gives the Bulgars a strong
hold on this line and 1t is predicted
that the allies will have difficulty
penetrating to the aid of the imperil-
ed Serbians.
Though still offering desperate op-
position to the advancing Austro-
German hordes. the Serbians are be-
lieved to be weakening. Gradually,
1t is feared. their army will be
smashed.
Teuton gains in the Balkans, how
ever, have been more than offset by
their losses on the Russian and Ital-
ian fronts, where the Slavs and the
army of King Victor Emmanuel are
generally on the offensive.

invited to cooperate in this. The

great point is that if beggars receive
food at private houses, a man may
go to one house for one meal, to an
other for the next, and in that way
beg meals for weeks, and have no
desire to find work. But if he is
referred to Mr. Lampson, it is known
how many meals he receives, and
furthermore it is usually possible 20
furnish work so that the man earns
what he eats. Nothing but harm can
come from giving to beggars who go
from door to door; send them to Mr..
Lampson, and he will see th3t they
are not obliged to go hungry. Any
one desiring to furnish a meal to the
one who is hungry may phone to
Mr.. Lampson informing him that
one or more meals will be paid for.
When the Variety Store is not open,
Marshal Stivers will attend to such
cases and provide food.

'Mr. Watts position was stated

he now voted that he favored the
division of the money coming to
Whitman county into two equal
portions, the one-half to be expended
on the branch from Rosalia south
through Colfax, the other portion to
be expended between Pullman and
the Idaho state line, and from
Pullman north. This was the best
Pullman could hope for in any event,

With two members of the city
council out of the city and
several others interestde in the
deliberations of the Chamber of
Commerce last Tuesday evening, it
required the services of the entire
city police force to round up a Quor-
UNI to transact the municipal bust
ness. Finally, however, the required
number of city fathers were assem-
bled together, and the routine bust
ness was taken care Of.
Tuesday evening was the date set
for the hearing of protests against
the assessment roll in Sewer District
No. 20, but action on the matter was
deferred until the next meeting,
March 16.
1t was ordered by the council that
the property owners in Improvement
Districts Nos. | 6 and II, which will
be paved this spring, be instructed
to connect with the city sewer before
the paving operations start The
council experienced some little
trouble in other districts when
property owners refused to pay for
the sewer connections made by the
city on the ground that they were
not given the required 80 days time
in which to do the work themselves.
The street and highway committee
was instructed to investigate the low
place in the road just southwest of
the skating rink, which is muddy
and almost impossible, and the
council will take steps to remedy
the defects.
A. r. Boyd appeared before the
council and protested against the
paving on West Main street, which
is fast tearing to pieces. Mem bers
of the council agreed to investigate
the road and make the needed re-
pairs before the highway has gone
beyond redemption.
