From the moment Davis Lester OBJ

vanderho6's eyes after saving her
from drowning he knew that he had
found the girl Of his dreams. But try
las he would the famous author could
never approach close enough to the
lgirl to engage her in conversation.
! A peculiar mystery surrounded her.
Never once was she left unguarded.
AN elderly gentleman, who as Lester
had ascertained was her uncle, and
two Mexicans kept a constant watch
over her. And, so rumors had It, this
watch was necessary, because the girl
was mad!
The first time Lester had heard this
a wild desire to slay his informant
swept over him. Controlling himself
with an effort, the author strolled
away. Mad? Absurd! He, who had
9gazed into Helen vanderhoff's eyes,
had seen the clear light Of reason In
them. Then came the suspicion that
the girl might be the victim Of some
horrible conspiracy.
Forthwith Lester sought out his
friend, Dr.. Luchow. who was return

the physician gave him scant comfort
There was no doubt about the fact
that Miss Vanderhoff was mad, he de-

before the ship headed north.

TOLOVANA IS
 LOOKING GOOD
LACK OF WATER DELAYS BUT RAIN HAS FALLEN IN
 PAST TWO DAYS.

FAIRBANKS, August 7.-Reports from the Tolovana for the past few days are very good. New strikes are reported and the old pay is said to be holding out well. The greatest drawback to the development of the camp has been the lack of water but heavy rains which fell here during the past two days is probably general and will most likely help out the new camp considerably. So dry was the weather for a time that sluicing could be carried on only ten minutes out of every hour. Falcon Joslyn leaves this city today for TOlovana to complete the installation of the wire less plant, The operator was sent in a week ago and the system will be open for business in short time.

Wants Matters Strengthened Out With Taxpayers and in an
 Amicable Manner.

"Jack" Chovin, the genial chair man of the fire committee of the city council, wants to see this assessment muddle cleared up and strengthened out in an amicable manner.
 "I'd like to spend lots of money for improvements" he said this afternoon. 'Td like to have that school building improved. I'd like particularly to have a good fire department if it cost ten thousand dollars, but if times are quiet and the money just now is not plentiful what can we do?"
 Mir. Chovin says that the council has not discussed the matter and will probably wait until it meets the com mittee of citizens Monday evening At that time all the facts and figures will have been ascertained and the whole thing can be adjusted Mir. Chovin firmly believes in acting with in reason.

GREAT BALTIC CITY

Teutonic Empires Declare Ma tionaI Holiday and Prepare
 Government for Poland.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August 7.- Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Budapest and the other great cities of Germany and Austria are celebrating the fall of the great cities of Warsaw and Riga to- day. and that both of those cities have fallen into the hands of the Teutons there is now not the slight est doubt A national holiday has been proclaimed all over the two em- pires named as well as over the Ot- toman empire. The schools every where are closed and the people have almost gone mad with joy. Although the news of the fall of Warsaw Aas not been officially announced from any of the other capitals it is believed to be because of the difficulty of se- curing communication with the out side world from the central powers.

AMERICANS DISCOVER
 PERFECT ANTISEPTIC

PARIS, August "A new medical discovery that will be of the greatest value to surgeons has been announced by Doctors Carrell and Dakena, Americans, now practicing their pro- fession in the local hospitals. The new discovery is an ideal antiseptic the use of which will make infection of wounds impossible. The value of this antiseptic to the wounded soldiers of Europe cannot be estimated, since one of the principal causes of death is the infection of wounds through de- lav in securing prompt medical aid. Dr. Carrell has for several years past ben employed in research work by the Rockefeller Foundation in New York and his present achievement adds greater fame to his already great reputation as one of the foremost scientists of his time.

The meeting of the taxpayers took place last night in the city hall and a resolution was passed unanimously on the motion of Sam Graf, president of the Electric company that the city council be asked to instruct the asses sor to reduce the assessment of realty one half. Ed Whittemore novel lat CT and it was passed unanimously that a committee of three be appointed to carry the resolution before the council when that body meets next Monday. Chairman G. B. Poindexter later ap- pointed a committee.
 At the meeting on the previous night a committee consisting of Mes SITS Dougherty, Whittemore and Poin- dexter had been appointed to get all the necessary facts and figures and Mir. Whittemore produced those facts last night when the meeting came to order. According to the committees figures the running expenses for the city for the year will be $13,000, the cost of street improvements will be $6,OOO, the cost of the maintenance of schools $4,5OO, and the price of the purchased lots $6,OOO. These are approximately correct and they make a total of $29,5OO. To help meet this expenditure the city will receive $11,- 900 from license money.
 On the other hand; The assessed value of realty this year is $1,724,42O. The meeting last night found that by dividing this in half and bylevying on that half two per cent tax the in- come from that source would be ST. PA. Adding to this the $11,OOO from

London Says Riga Falls.

LONDON, August 7.-The great city of Riga has fallen, the Germans are already entering the city and the Russian armies are demoralized. It was announced here last night that the Russians were evacuating the city and this news was confirmed this morning but the real truth became known later when the dispatches ar rived announcing that two corps Of von Buelow's army are actually en- tcrng the great town. Riga is one of the three largest shipping ports of the Russian empire, coming next in importance to Peuograd and Odessa. It is on the coast at the mouth of the Dwina river, is the capital of Livonia and has a population of 92O,OOO. Very little has been told ot the advance or the Germans recently in that direction but it is now evident that they must have made tremendous strides since the capture of Lindau. The informa- ton that the Russian army is Gemora- Hzed is regarded as the worst of all The French and British papers are all commenting today on the worldwide effect which the fall of Warsaw and Riga will exercise. They all admit that this effect will be terrific and an atmosphere of gloom is general iR both the French and British capitals. Warsaw has population of just about twice the size of Riga but She chief consideration is that while Warsaw gives the Teutons command of Poland Riga gives them command of a great

CAPTURED FOR
 OLIVES MURDER
CITIZENS OF FAIRBANKS GIVE $l,OOO FOR CONVICTION
 OF WOMAN'S SLAYERS.

FAIRBANKS, August 7.-Julius Miller, a cook, has been held for the murder of Mrs. Rowe of Olnes at Little Eldorado creek last week. Mil Ter had been held for cutting Scotty
 Lamb at Olnes a week ago and suf- fcient evidence has been found to justify the holding of him for the Rowe murder. He is held without bail. William O'Connor has also been arrested and held for the murder Of of Mrs. Rowe. Ed Cairns who was also arrested is the man who made the confession. He has made an af- fidavit telling how Miller wanted both to take a hand in the murder and he describes how the deed was com mitted. The citizens have subscribed four thousand dOllarS aS Ie"dIu IoI aid in bringing about the conviction of the murderers. None of this money is to be paid to federal officials and the intention is to enlist in the work of exposing the murderers several citilians. Mrs. Rowe is supposed to have had on her person about four hundred dollars when she met her death. A thousand dollars was dis covered in her cabin after her death. The whole community is worked up to a dangerous pitch by the foul deed and no stones will be left unturned to bring the miscreants to justice.

WARSAW AND RIGA HAVE FALLEN TO THE TEUTONS
MAYOR SEES
 NO TROUBLE
BELIEVES ASSESSMENT MAT TER WILL BE ADJUSTED IN
 AMICABLE MANNER.

Mayor Myers anticipates no diff culty in settling the assessment mat ter which is now occupying the at tention of the taxpayers. It was stated in some quarters that by the high assessment the city council had in contemplation the securing of a lot of money above the amount actually necessary so that they might build a city hall but the mayor says that no such building was thought of. He has not yet looked more fully into the subject and did not desire this morn ing to deal with figures until he gets better posted on the findings of the committee of the taxpayers. One thing has possibly been overlooked by that committee when it tried to secure a full list of the expenditures and that is the amount which was paid out by the city from time to time in wages directly.
 As the matter now stands, the com mittee of the taxpayers has found that a much smaller sum will be re- quired for the conduct of the city's affairs than the city officials said. This discrepancy may be due to scy- eral causes. It may be due to a fail- ure on the part of the committee to discover all the expenditures or it may be due to a failure of the city of ficials to be able to compute correctly the expenditures. However there is no reason to doubt, as the mayor says. that the matter will be adjusted easily if none of the city council mem bers make a display of the obstin- acy and egotism which has distingu- ished the conduct of some of them so far.

It is thought that in looking over the expenditures of the city council several important items may have been overlooked In the first place quite number of men were em- ployed on street work by day wages early in the summer. Wheelbarows, shovels and lots of other implements were purchased, and, by the way, it is said that most of those implements have disappeared. Even the city hall was decked out with chairs to meet the luxurious requiments of the city government. In this way there may be a greater expenditure than has yet been seen by the tax payers committee.
