the battered ruins of Fort Doua-

west of the fort. In this new
attack the Crown Princes forces
succeeded in gaining q foothold
in a French trench near the
Haudremont quarry, which has
been the scene recently of much

At Fort Douaumont itself the

Portland, Ore.-All Oregon coast

beach at Barview, rs miles from Tilla-
nook, being carried out to sea. The
railroad at that point is built on fill
of rock, and huge seas repeatedly
broke entirely over the track, hurting
up powders. The track for distance
of one mile was endangered.
The first snow of the season fell in
the Cascade mountains, according to
reports received from the weather sta
tion at the summit of Snoqualmie pass,
through which the Washington state

900 Bushels of Wheat.

ed to be the largest grain check ever
paid in this state to an individual grain
grower was issued when E. E. Mayer

Harrington $223,S44 for approximately
$4,000 bushels of wheat. This was a
little more than $1.46 a bushel net, the
buyer paying all storage and other
charges. This makes the price better
than $3.50 bushel The wheat COM
prised the 1915 and 1916 crops. Mr..
Turner, by holding his last years crop
got $4,000 over what it would have
returned him last year.

HIS WEALTH A BURDEN
Trouble With Man Who Has Acquired
Riches Is That He Doesn't Know
How to Spend.

The nuisance for the man who has
acquired great financial resources usu-
ally is that he doesn't know what he
wants. Possessing the resources and
feeling the moral necessity to have re-
course to them, he looks about for
something to want, and he selects the
most costly thing.
The acquisition Of this most costly
thing always involves, in practice, the
separation Of the rich man from So
ciety. Thus, he will acquire large
estate, or several large estates, and cut
himself off from the world by gates,
doors, miles Of drive, lodge keepers,
menials and secretaries. Or he will
acquire a 2,0O0-ton yacht and cross the
Atlantic privately, though less quickly,
less comfortably, and even less pri-
vately than on great liner. Or he
will keep private orchestra, instead
of being seen at concerts.
All of which, though magnificent, is
anti-social and silly, and is secretly
felt to be so by the rich man when he
happens to wake up in the middle Of
the night and can't 60 to sleep again.

BEWARE or SNAKES.

Beer Is the diamond RATHER of the
liquor snake family. Some think 1t Is
innocent, while in fact 1t is more
vicious than the rest. This is one rea-
son why 1t bites so many. There can
be no such thing as harmless solu-
ton of poisonous ingredient, no mat
ter whether that poisonous ingredient
is placed directly in the solution or en-
gendered there by Preventative proc
esses. Beer contains about 31a per
cent alcohol. This amount Of alcohol
is always poisonous to human tissue,
the rapidly of destruction being meas
ured by the quantity taken. The
brewer reduces the percentage of alco-
hol in beer to quiet the alarm of his
customer and then increases the vol
ume of the drink without apparent de-
lection. The drinker then plays his
money for his share of imaginary SUM-
shine on the basis Of the old familiar
game: Head up, the brewer wins; tail
up, the drinker loses.
The opinions of the medical profess
sion on the liquor traffic ten years or
more ago are practically worthless, be-
cause those opinions were based on
popular beliefs since known to be
false. Our opinions now are based on
unanswerable scientific demonstra-
tions.-Dr. r. e. Minahan, Green Bay,

MEMPHIS BANK IS HELD UP
Bold Daylight HoIdup In Memphis
Smaks Of Wild Bordor Days
In the West.

Memphis, Tenn.--Two men entered
the Park Bank G Trust Co. lobby, on
McLemore avenue, between 10 and IL
O'Clock Tuesday morning, furnishing
murderously-looking pistols in the
faces of the bank officials, driving
them into rear room, the men grab
bling all the cash in sight and fled.
They made away with about $4,000
At the time of the raid the cashier,
J. E. Creary, ]. F. Bost, vice-president,
and Ishmael Brownlee, negro GUS
toner, were the only occupants of the
room.
The officials called the police imme-
diately and in a few minutes the
street was swarming with people, but
the bandits made clean getaway.
Chief of Police Perry Immediately
ordered net spread in an effort to
catch the daring holdups. 1t Is be-
lieved that they are the same two men
who pulled off the daring robbery at
the Model laundry few days ago.
They answer the same descriptions
and their methods in both instances
were the same.
Vice-President Bost stated that the
loss, which is estimated at $4,000, was
fully covered by insurance and that
the depositors would not be affected
by the robbery.
Sheriff Tate notified surrounding
towns Of the robbery by telephone and
telegraph, and asking that close
watch be kept for the two men.
The last previous bank robbery in
Memphis was In this same neighbor-
hood in 1910, when the Suburban
bank, located two doors from the pres
ent Park bank, was entered by bur-
glars, who robbed the safe of several
thousand dollars.
The red light district, rooming
houses, hotels and other places where
the bandits may have sought refuge
were placed under surveillance. De-
tectives on Chief Roper's staff also
thO uCPOtO anu idiiiOdu ydAuo
in an attempt to cut off every avenue
of escape.
The theory that they are quartered
somewhere in the city is founded on
the fact that two men were seen rid
ing on Rayburn boulevard on motor
cycles at terrific pace few min
utes after the hold-up. In measure
they answered the descriptions fur
nished by the bank officials.
Photographs Of two we'll known To-
cal criminals, who are just out of the
penitentiary, were exhibited to Mr..
Bost and Mr. Creary by the police, but
they could not identify them as the
holdup men. 1t is now generally be-
lieved that the men were strangers in
Memphis and professionals in their
line.

OFFICER ATTACKED.
One Alleged 6ootIegger Escapes from

One Alleged BootIegser Escapes from
McNairy Deputy Sheriff.
Selmer, Tenn.-D. l.. Dixon, Nc.
Marry county deputy sheriff, had a
thrilling experience near the Tonnes
Mississippi line, when he was at.
tackled by an alleged negro bootleg
ger. He had arrested Ben Christon
and Charley Chenault, who were un-
der suspicion of peddling whisky from
Tennessee into Mississippi. The ne
groes were handcuffed and the officer
was on his way to Corinth, Miss,
where the prisoners were to be placed
in Jail.
On meeting two men in buggy the
attention of Dixon was momentarily at
tracted from the. prisoners. The Chris.
ton negro broke the handcuff from the
arm of Chenault and hit the officer
over the forehead with pint bottle
full of whisky. The blow felled Mr..
Dixon to the knees and the negroes
ran. Christon, who is lanky negro,
made his escape, but two bullets from
the pistol of Dixon stopped the Che.
nault negro. One lodged in the thigh
and the other passed through the calf
of the leg.
