MYSTERY VOICE IN CAPITOL
Wisconsin Governor Entertained
Every Afternoon.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 23.-Every af-
ternoon at o'clock or shortly after
ward woman's voice has sung The
Holy City in the governors private
office in the state capitol For three
weeks a persistent search has been
made for the mysterious singer and
with no result.
The affair is beginning to get on
the governor and Colonel Priestly, his
secretary. The superintendent OF
public buildings has searched the
wing of the capitol in vain. The voice
appears to come from one corner OF
the governors office, and the COVER
nor has ordered the position OF his
desk changed so he faces the corner.
The voice sometimes sObs out the
song, at other times it is jubilant, but
it is apparently always the same hui
man voice.

the example of the Dutch and Nor
wegian ships, the American steamship
Medina of the Mallory line, cotton
ship, bound for Rotterdam,s sailed
from here with the American colors
and her name in large letters painted

of German torpedoes in the war zone.
The Medina carries a cargo of 10000
bales of cotton.
The steamship Ogeechee, also of
the Mallor line, laden with cotton
for northern Europe, started on her
voyage, but was not allowed to pro-
coed on account of the action of men,

Men Suffer From Exposure.

Berlin (By Wireless), Feb. 23.-One
stoker from the American steamer
Evelyn died from exposure after the
cotton boat was sent to the bottom off
Borkum island. Captain Smith, the
pilot and twelve men, VINO, with the
dead stoker, Il Spaniaru, escaped in

until picked up by a German patrol.
The mate and thirteen men in the sec

should have landed there by this time.
According to advices received here
Captain Smith has informed the Ger
man authorities that his ship came
to grief through the advice of Brit
ish naval boarding officer who in
structed him to follow the course on
which he struck the mines instead OF
the northerly course as laid down in
the German instructions.
The Evelyn struck two mines at
o'clock Friday morning and sank
seven hours later. Captain Smith and
the men in his boat drifted until Sat

Petrosrad Admits Disaster In Mazu-
rian Lake Region - Grand Duke
Nicholas Says Bravery Of One Army
Corps In Sacrificing Itself Saved
Whole Russian Army-seven sIav
Generals Among Captured.
Berlin (Via Londyn), Feb. 23-The
German official statement announces
that the captures in the battle OF the
Mazurian lake district OF East Prussia
have been increased to seven generals
and more than 100000 men. The
pieces OF cannon taken numbered 15Q.
The Germans claim to have routed
their opponents completely. Russia
admits beins driven from East Prus-
STA, but insists that only one army
corps was lost and that sacrificed it
self to save the rest OF the army.
The Russian version of the East
Prussian situation was given in dis
patch to Petrograd from the Grand
Duke Nicholas, the Russian com
mander-in-cnief, from his field head
quarters. He admits that his troops
were forced from East Prussia, but
says that the greater part Of the
Mazurian lakes army escaped intact
through the heroism OF a single army
corps, which sacrificed itself 10 hold
the German nanking movement in
check, and that the Russians are now
resuming the offensive on line just
inside the frontier in northern Poland.
The Russian statement explains
that the grand duke was aware on
Feb. 4 that the Germans in East Prus-
STA had been heavily reinforced, but
he could not aid his troops there be
cause of a lack of railways and bad
marching conditions. A retirement
was ordered, but the Germans pressed
the pursuit so hard that the whole
Russian army was on tie verge of
being wiped out when one corps
turned heroically and held the enemy
at bay. The rest of the force under
Baron Sievers, numbering about 120,-
600 men, got safely to their defensive
positions but the gallant 10000 were
annihilated, only scattered parties re-
turning to the Russian lines.

CAUTION CHILDREN AGAINST
DANGER IN THE STREETS.

There is danger in the street due to
the constituencies speeder This kind
of danger can be eliminated by dill
gence upon the part Of the police.
Jay driving is another danger. 1t
can be reduced to a minimum by the
strict enforcement of traffic rules.
But even when the speeder is absent
and where driving regulations are en-
forced to the letter, there is still a
large residue of danger which persists
and which can be guarded against onls
by constant care and caution upon the
part of both pedestrians and drivers.
Naturally. these inevitable perils of
the street present a condition that calls
for particular attention at the hands
of parents and children. Too many
children are playing in the streets Of
Chickasha every day, needless of dan
ger
At Enid few weeks ago some small
Loys asked an auto driver for ride
and he consented to allow them to.
hang on One of them sat on the
running board and having reached his
destination jumped off. The car was
.lillug iast but the lad landed on
the pavement in way that inflicted a
fatal injury.
At Lawton this week little boy care
lessly stepped in front Of moving
car and was killed. An investigation
fully exonerated the driver. He was
not driving fast and was proceeding in
exact accord with traffic rules He
did his best to avoid hitting the child
but it was impossible
A few weeks ago an auto at Okla
homa City was coasting down hill. The
driver saw several little children in
the street ahead and checked his car
till they crossed the street. Then he
proceeded at ordinary speed but as he
reached the point where the children
were, little tot re-crossed the street
right in front of him before he could
turn aside and the child was killed.
These are only a few illustrations Of
which any number could be presented.
They enforce the necessity of parents
keeping the little ones out of the street
as much as possible and giving them
constant admonitions to be on guard
against danger.
All the blame for the many street
accidents cannot be charged up to the
careless driver. Caution the children
often. Tell them to use their eyes and
ears constantly while they are in the
streets and to keep out of the danger
zone.
1t might be good idea for the pub
lie schools to give course of lessons
On safety in the streets. If the life
of one child can be saved by such
teaching it will well be worth the ef-
fort.
Stop, look, listen,' is good rule
for both children and adults to follow
when crossing a street.
