Mrs. jenkins Attends.

FRosTBURG. Nd. April 10.-The
home of Mrs. Julia Bone. Maple
street. was the scene Of o brilliant
celebration a recent evening In honor
Of her eightieth birthday. The en-
tertaining by Mrs. Bone during the
evening and the splendid dinner were
the remarkable features. The tall,
white-haired woman is still as
straight as an arrow with excellent
memory and eyesight unimpared.
Mrs. Bone was formerly Miss Julia
Miller and her parents were born at
Brush Bottom Ford. KY. They
moved to Virginia afer their mar
riage, where Mrs. Bone was born
near Luray and was married to Mr..
Bone at that place. During the even
ing she told several stories relating
to the Civil war and stated at the
outbreak her husband ran north and

her to nurse him back to health.
When he had entirely recovered
the Confederates decided to impress
him into the service in the southern
army, 30 one day eight men came to
the house at noon and said they had
orders to take her husband. Mrs,
Bone said: "You must be hungry
Please come IN and sit down. I will

All the time she was thinking how
she could aid her husband to escape.
The thought struck her to ask him
to 60 to the spring for water. and
told the soldiers it was not far and
they let him go. AS the time seemed
long they became restless. but before
they realized 1t he had escaped. Then

NO CONCLUSION
is Contained in Report on the
Probe into. the Prices
of Gasoline.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
federal trade commission today pre-
sented to Congress a preliminary re-
port on its investigation Of, the rise
In the price Of gasoline. The report
carries a mass Of statistics on produc-
ton and prices, but draws no conclu-
sion as to the cause Of the increase
OF the latter.
OF alleged price discrimination
with which the commission Is
charged with Investigating under a
Senate resolution, the. report says:
at prices are found to have boon
raised to higher level in some sec
lions than in any others, making due
allowance for quality of product,
freight and marketing conditions. It
may be inferred that an element Of
artificial manipulation has entered
into the advance"

Later he was q fugitive from Justice.
and when caught and taken back to
London, crowds followed him through
the streets, bowling. jeering and curs-
ing him. He perpetrated one Of the
most gigantic swindling schemes ever
recorded.
Balfour built his bubble from the
small savings Of widows. orphans and
elderly persons, who loaned him money
because they trusted him. When his
cardboard financial institutions fell
there was widespread misery In Eng
land. More than 1000 widows were
left penniless and had to be supported
BY charity. and tens Of thousands Of
artisans and laboring men were
robbed of their savings.
Balfour began his career In 1857. He
conceived the plan Of using philan-
thropy In the promotion Of a financial
success, declaring that II he did not
sieze the opportunity "some dishonest
scoundrel might see a chance to get
rich on these people," Balfour formed
the Liberator Building Society. Into

The crash came IN 1892 and found
Balfour ready. He had collected $780,
900 and on Sept. he slipped from
England to Argentina, q country with
which England had no extradition
Treaty. He was arrested two years
later when he had started to exploit
Argentina and was returned to Lon-
don where he was sentenced to twelve
years in prison. He served eleven
years OF the term and was released
when SO years Of age. He started
anew life's battle under his own name.
and gained fair measure Of success
despite the odium due to his former
ventures.

Generally speaking the danger from
floods in this part OF the country mas
vanished. This is due principally TO the
cultivation of the land. In it's present
state It absorbs most Of the moisture.
This used to flow off OF the hard. vir-
gin prairie and into the streams. Much
water is taken from the streams for the
use OF man and beast and in the aggre-
gate this subtracts a considerable volume
from the water.

Real Estate Agents
Must Clean Walks

Real estate agents who fail 70 observe
the city ordinance relative TO cleaning
sidewalks of snow will be assessed the
cost of such work by the city. The fol-
lowing letter has been addressed 20 all
real estate men by City Engineer Bruce;
For years the city engineering depart
ment has been receiving from all parts
of the city complaints of sidewalks being
covered with snow and ice during the
winter and with dirt and mud during
the spring and summer; such complaints
as a rule are made of vacant lots and
lots occupied by vacant buildings.
The present city administration is COM
pletely out of patience with such con-
ditions as have in times past, existed in
front of hundreds of vacant properties I'm
this city and they are thoroughly de-
termined to overcome such conditions
I'm the future.
Hereafter all sidewalks adjoining any
properties that you may own or control
and which you fail to clean as provided
