 Eckdahl was sentenced to five years from Nome, in 1912 for obtaining money under false pretenses. While he was drunk, he raised $2 pay check to $2O and obtained the cash on it. The sentence was considered exces- sive. Friends interested themselves in his behalf on account of his previ- ous good character and interceded with the result that the sentence was commuted to three years by the Presi- dent. The reason for the severe sen tencc was that Echdahl was accused, but acquitted previously of robbing sluice boxes,

Washington, July S.-A tremendous
explosion, believed to have been
caused by some kind of bomb or infer
nal mechine, wrecked the public re-
ception room on the east side of the
Capitol building shortly before mid
night Friday night.
No one was injured. First reports
of the effects of the explosion said
the windows in the reception room
had been blown out; that an immense
plate glass mirror had been demol-
ished and that part of the ceiling and
walls were torn down. The explosion
was heard for several blocks.
At the time of the explosion the
Capitol had been closed since dark
and no one was in the building except
the few watchmen on duty and tele-
phone operators.
The watchman in the hall directly
below the reception room said he was
almost blown from his chair by the
force of the blast. He declared that
no one could have been near the room
for hours.
Officials believe that the explosive
was placed by crank who desired to
create a sensation. Visitors were al
lowed in the room during the day. and
timed machine might have been left
without attracting attention.
Superintendent Woods of the capitol
building. summoned by panic-stricken
watchmen. made hurried investiga-
ton. then telephoned for an expert on
explosives. Until the expert has made
his report, no official statement con-
cerning the incident will be made pub
lie.
No trace could be found of an ex-
ploded bomb nor of anything else
which might have caused the blast.

CHEAPER WHEAT
FOR AMERICANS

The Queen Elizabeth, with her
eight l5.inch guns. and her sister
ships, seem to be knocking the bot
tom out of the wheat pit. The navy
of the allies has destroyed half a
dozen Turkish forts in the Darda-
nelles and will, within a week, re-
duce the others and have clear way
into the Black sea.
Southern Russia is supposed to
have $50 100000 bushels of surplus
wheat ready for shipment, and with
in two weeks hundreds of ships will
be pouring this flood of wheat into
England, France, Italy and other
European markets.
It's long, long way from the
Golden Horn to the Chicago wheat
pit, but the effect of Good Queer
Bess' Is inch shells has been to knocl
80 cents off the price of wheat. |
sold last week at 81 35 and is still
tumbling downward pellmell. The
farmer who has been holding his
wheat and dreaming of 81 per, is
doomed to disappointment.
| We are supposed to have 10000
600 bushels surplus still on hand.
And now Argentina is threshing
wheat to beat the band and will pres
emily have 125,0O0,0O0 bushels to
dump into the markets of the world.
If this is good crop year there
will be no abnormal prices paid for
wheat in the United States this year.
Let all We lovers of good, fat biscuits

This is quite mistake, for IL she
Is that sort of girl she is not worth
troubling about, and it's better to find
out in time, as a marriage where com.
plete confidence does not reign on
both sides is not likely to be happy
one.
However, speaking generally, no
sensible girl really fancies she is the
first and only love. for where is the
man, or the girl, for the matter OF
that, who has never had the shadow
of a passing Irritation before the pres
ent "adored one" appeared on the
scene? And, after all, It does not mat
ter very much how many old love
affairs a man has had, provided they
are dead and gone, and he can truly
impress upon his reigning sovereign
that she is the best and truest and
the last A great many girls like to
feel that they are the chosen recipi-
ents Of such condolences, and the mere
fact of being able to chat easily
about old flames win prove that no
sad remembrance is attached.
Even il you did happen to have a
serious attachment, 1t is all the more
necessary to be absolutely straightfor-
ward about 1t.
Your fiancee will appreciate your
honesty, and can feel that at all events
