Excitement in Early Morning

TACOMA, Feb. 2i.-White-clad foes of rum DESTROYED the
L two-story frame building of H. p. Clark, in Ruston,
at 100 a. m. today with explosives and fire.
Clark, alone in the building at the time, was thrown from
the bed by the blast, which demolished the entire front OF
the building. He seized a revolver and fired at four men
he saw running down the street. The bullets went wild.
One of the men dropped a sheet, but it disappeared before
Clark returned to his burning home.
The loss on the building and furnishings is about $4,000.
Clark admitted to authorities that he had been running
a beer joint" but denied having received threatening
letters.
A week ago, K. j. OConner, proprietor of a pool room in
HUSTON, was fired upon by two men. On last Sunday, a
threatening note and a dagger were left at 0'Connor's home.
The note read: Warning! The Bloody Moon has arrived.

commander. That ended his mercan-
tile career and began an extremely
illustrious military one. He fought
through the war, though wounded a
couple of times, and steadily rose In
rank, being decorated for services at
charlottesville and at Fair Oaks. By
the end of the war, he was in COM
mand of an army corps.
But there was more work left for
man of his abilities. He was sent
out to subdue the Indians-indeed, he
got the nick name of Indian Fighter
Miles" He brought the Cheyenne and
the Comanche Indians to terms,
chased the famous Sitting Bull over
the border into Canada, and conquered
the terrible Apaches. He was sent
abroad as the country's representative
to attend Queen Victoria's diamond
jubilee, and, year later, was NOM
inally in charge of the military opera
lions in the Spanish-American war.
Actually, though, he directed the al
most unopposed Porto Rico expedi-
ton, doing some very wonderful sani-
tation work in the islands afterwards.

SELMA

IF FAIR names should be given to
= fair women, Selma is a favorite in
feminine nomenclature. 1t is an old
Celtic name, meaning fair" and
named the beautiful daughters of Ire
land and Scotland for generation after
generation. Finally it spread over the
border into England and was straight
way adopted as a national favorite.
The Bible records Selmai, which
may be taken as identical with Selma,
and the name is thus given a religious
significance. The Dutch also have a
Selmai which is generally regarded as
the equivalent of Selma. Otherwise,
there is little history connected with
the name, which persisted because it's
sound, as we'll as its significance, was
fair.
In this country, the South adopted
Selma, probably because of its asso-
citation with feminine beauty and
equally because its vowels are well
suited to the soft, slurring pronuncia-
tion of Dixie Many lovely Southern
ers, toasts of Virginia and Carolina
counties, have borne the name and
more than one state has bestowed the
name on one of its towns or smaller
cities
1t is fitting that the pearl, symbol
of beauty and charm, should be sell
mas talismanic gem. 1t promises her
great fascination and the power of at
tracing admirers. Monday is her
lucky day and 3 her lucky number.
