fury.
Uncle Josh, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself for giving Mr..
Loft Devil to ride" she said. "And
as for you, Mr.. Burroughs" she add

please understand that do not per-
NIT my guests to be insulted.
She gave her arm to the discom-

side the house, leaving Young Mr.
Burroughs standing like fool.
Never mind, sah" You'll win

Young Mr.. Burroughs went home.
He had loved Miss Esther for years;
in fact, when they were children
they had considered themselves be-

James Loft, had paraded his airs be-

Young Mr.. Burroughs made inquiries
about Loft, but he could learn moth

him. Nobody who saw them to-

him so well that his errors in horse
manship did not seem ridiculous to
her. Sometimes Young Mr.. Bur-

raised his hat, to receive the stiffest
bows from Miss Esther and a cold
cut from Loft.

American Nations
 Cement Friendship

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. D. The first week of the session of the Pan-American Scientific Congress, which is now being held here, ended Saturday night with a big recep- tion to the delegates from the South American countries. Washington so- ciety was out in all of it's splendor in honor of the occasion, the dip lomatic corps of this, as well as of European nations, being well rep resented.
 Delegates to the congress from all South American countries eX- press themselves as very much pleased with the treatment accorded them in this country Interviews with various delegates are printed every day in the local papers and all who have talked for publication are of the opinion that lasting friendship between the United States and all South American countries has been cemented.

RUSSIANS ADVANCE ON GAUICiA.

PETROGRAD, Jan 2-The Rus sians are now making a third attempt to advance into Galicia and hold that section of country, the advance having already commenced. No bat tie of importance has as yet taken place during the present campaign, but such is very imminent. for an army of more than one and one-half millions of Austro-Germans is op- posing the advance
 The Russian army is completely rejuvenated in every respect. A large part of the force is composed of men who have seen service in Galicia before and who therefore know the hardships which must be endured there. All are in good spirits, being determined to do or die in the attempt. It is stated that the present force is by far the best in the matter of munitions and

Great lmpersonator
 Now In the oils

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 2.-George Thorne, who for several years past has successfully operated many bo- gus schemes and who is known by many aliases, was arrested here to- day. The charge against him Is that he impersonated the director of the federal bureau of animal industry.
 Thorne has operated in many states and, although his record was known and he has been arrested several times, nothing against him could ever be proven. His opera tions were confined chiefly to the rural districts of this state, where he is stated to have passed many bogus checks.
 It is believed that Thorne is cer- tain to get long penitentiary sen tence when the evidence against him is presented at trial

Wool Workers Get
 New Year s Gift

BOSTON, Jan. 2.-From the local headquarters of the American Woolen company comes the announcement today that the employees of the company will be granted a five per cent increase in wages as New Years gift The announcement was received with surprise by the local employees, as such gift on the part of the company had never been thought of Nor was there any dan ger of strike on account of a low scale of wages, as far as can be learned
 The lncrease in pay vii! affect some 60,000 people. The labor is dis tributed throughout the 8 wOOlen mills operated by the company It is estimated that the increase will cost the company at least S2,o0o,oo0 during the coming year.
 One of the prominent officials of the company states that the con cern is now easily able to grant the raise in wages to it's employees by reason of the enormous increase in business during the past year

Bean Eaters Are
 Given Big Scare

BOSTON, Jan. 2-Consternation reigned supreme in this city today when 1t was stated through the columns of one of the morning dailies that a bomb had been dis covered in the basement of the capi- tai building It had evidently been placed there with the intent of de stroying the building, but it failed to explode. The police are now working on the case and hope to have the would-be bomb artist" in custody shortly, although they have but little to work on in the way of clews.
 The bomb is of very effective construction, as was shown by an examination of it's contents at po- lice headquarters today However. it contains enough dynamite to com pletely destroy the building.
 The bomb was evidently placed some time yesterday. A time cleo tric lighting apparatus was attach ed to it. The fuse had been lighted and had burned to the bomb, the defective construction of the latter. however, having prevented 1t from going off.

To Experiment On
 The Alaska Coast

SEATTLE, Jan. 2.-The steamship Maid of Orleans" left port here last night for Alaska. She is fully equipped for cod fishing, it being the intention of the owners of the boat to experiment in winter fishing on the Alaska coast.
 The experiment is being watched with interest by local canning and fish dealing people, for if it is a success, it will mean practically the revolutionizing of the fishing industry in Alaska. Heretofore. the fishing season has been a short one, nobody having tried to make catch during the winter months.

Bulgaria Massng Troops Greek Frontier -Roumania Mobilizing Army for DefenseBritish Rout Arahs From Tripo-Russians Invading Galicia Again. Germans Have Conquered 19O,OOO Square Miles,

The war dispatches of today are very meagre. Nothing seems to be doing on any of the bat tlefronts in a fighting way, al though the dispatches report the movement of troops in vari- ous places. 1t Is therefore evi- dent that the tacit truce which prevailed throughout the holi, day season on the western bat tlefront still exist.
 The kaiser still keeps his bed on the advice of his physician. He has carbuncle on his neck and it Is feared that, did he get away from home, he would catch cold and blood poison would set in. His poor condition physi- cally is attributed to the hard ships he has undergone in going to and fro from the various bat tie lines.
 London dispatches state that an army of BuIgarians is now being formed preparatory to an attack on Saloniki. The Bull garians will be assisted by the Turks, according to the dis patches.

 DRASTIC IN IDAHO.
 BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 2.-This state went completely dry at midnight December 31, 1915. The prohibition law in Idaho is the most drastic of that of any state. for. as voted upon, it provides that it is a felony to have liquor in possession. It is therefore a crime for a railroad to carry liquor or for an express company to handle it. as well as for the consumer to keep it in his pri vate place Of residence.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. Ex-Governor Johnson has called a special session of the legislature to convene We'd nesday of this week. It is stated that the purpose of the special meeting of the legislators is to see what can be done to untangle the primary muddle which exists in this state.
 At the recent non-partisan primary elections held, the people of this state voted to reject several mea- sures which were put up to them. One of the measures, however, was passed at a previous primary cleo tion and, as it refers to practically the same subjects as those recently voted down, it is necessary that a special session of the legislature be called to see what can be done to remedy the evil.

FRENCH LINER MAY MEET FATE
 OF LUS|TAN|A
AMERICANS WARNED NOT TO TAKE PASSAGE ON
 FRENCH BOAT.

PARIS. Jan. 2-It is officially stat ed here today that many of the Americans who departed this morn ing on the French liner Lafayette received warning not to sail on the boat prior to her departure. The warning were anonymous, but were couched in indisputable terms, some of those received by the intended passengers now being in the hands of the government secret service. Without exception, the warnings contain the statement that 1t is in tended that the Lafayette shall meet the same fate as the Lusitania.
 Many of those who received warn ings needed them and did not sail on the boat today, Others. how ever, concluded to brave 1t out and are consequently now on the high seas
 The French war office believes that the warnings were issued as a bluff by people other than the Germans or their allies. The ma rine concern to which the Lafay- ette belongs believes a rival company caused them to be issued in an en- deayor to secure business for their line.
 The Lafayette plays between New York and Havre. She has accom- modations for about 1900 passen- gers and carries a crew of about eOO

BREAKUP OF PARTY
 IS EXPECTED SOON
OneThird of Ford Party, Mostly Students Quits at Co., penhagenDr. Cook Jons-Says Not to Mind Ridi- culeFord Due in New York---Detroit Makes Great Preparations to Receive Her Favored Son.

The Ford peace party has not yet "busted up,' according to the late dispatches. However, it seems to be on it's last legs, as the dispatches state that fully one.third of it's members, mostly students, are preparing to quit at the first opportunity, giving as their reason for doing so, the extreme cold of the Den mark winter.
 pr. Cook, the famous explorer, Is the latest to get into the limelight in connection with the "doves of peace." It is hoped that he has better success in holding the party together than he Is said to have had In find Ing the North Pole or climbing to the top of Mt. Mckinley, Americas highest peak, for that Is what he Is evidently trying to do, according to the expressions used in the dispatches.
 The newspaper reporters with the Ford party have refused to sign the first resolution put up to ther-that condemning Will sons national eparedness poll cv. The reason given is that they are with the party only as newspaper men sent out by their respective publications to keep an eye on the various events which take place and re- port them. It's pretty soft for the newspapers when they can get Henry Ford to pay the ex- penses of their men to Europe for the purpose of ridiculing both him and his party.
 The Danish ship agents have evidently become alive to the fact that MT. Ford is willing to spend a large sum in advertis- ing himself as the manufacturer of Ford automobiles, and as an erstwhile peacemaker. For all they have done Is to charge his party about S5o,ooo for passage from Copenhagen to The Hague, a considerable sum more than the amount which was required for their passage from New York to Copenhagen via Stock holm and Christiania.
 Henry Ford himself is report ed to be nearing home. News paper men are already on the dock at New York anxiousIy await ing a chance to interview him, while his wife is going from De- troit, Michigan, to greet her spouse, as fast as steam can her.
 But when Ford reaches De- trcit That is when the big time will occur, for the munici- pal authorities as we'll as all of the residents of that city, are preparing to give him wei come similar to that given the
 
 only original prodiga son.
