Page Three tr WMAT mORY MIX No mill has yet discovered a plan to avoid making remnants. No loom has yet been invented that would invariably weave a perfect cloth. Say a piece of cloth 50 yds long is being woven and an imperfection appears, the operator cuts out the imperfect part and the good piece left is put into the remnant pile. All the mill remnants secured for this sale are strictly new and up-to-the-minute goods direct from the looms and are offered in connection with our regular stocks at ACTUAL MILL COST.

Blanche Walsh, who will be at the Gennett Monday night In "The Straight Road."
tic as "The Straight Road" is, the story it tells is absolutely simple. A mission worker seeks to upraise a pirl of the slums. She succeeds, but In the heighth of her success the ilum flrl finds that her protector of the mission Is about to marry a man unworthy of her. She wants to open the eyes of her patron, and the way is presented when she agrees to meet the man at her home. He embraces her and is caught in the act by his betrothed. The third act, which is intense in its realistic situation, treats f this meeting. But in a thoroughly unexpected and unusual manner. Moll O'Hara proves her own worth and the unworthiness of the man, saves fcer patron, -nd is herself vindicated.

Publishers' Pressl "Washington, Feb. 12. President Roosevelt sent to both houses of congress a long message calling attention to what he terms the "urgent need of legislation affecting the different phases of the public land situation in the United States." He advocates the conservation of coal and other fuel resources on lands still belonging to the government, saying that henceforth the nation should retain its title to its fuel resources.
urges government control of the western public land pastures, with a system of small grazing fees, etc., and asks for an appropriation of $500,000 Immediately available, in addition to present estimates, to aid in detectins and preventing land frauds. He contends for a system of government leasing of its mineral lands and for treating these fuel lands as public utilities. The president avers , that it would have been better if some eastern coal lands had been left under governmnt control and suggests provision in the west "against recurrence of the conditions we deplore. in the east." Citing 2300 cases of public land entries in four districts mentioned, the president says non-compliance with the law was found in over half of them and deliberate fraud in very many cases. " The president asks for legislation which will provide two distinct titles to public lands one for the surface and the other for the underlying minerals. These mineral lands, the president would dispose of by lease. The
details tf this plan he leaves for congress to work out, only arguing for the adoptim n'an.

Publishers' PressJ St. Louis, Mo., e eb. 13. A man giving the name of Louis Duvel, was arrested by two detectives, who suspect him to toe Frank Constantine, Jr., wanted in Chicago on the charge, of having murdered Mrs. Arthur Gentry January C, 1906. The suspect, who closely resembles Constantine's photograph, is about 23 years old, and says he is a traveling junk dealer. He admitted his home is in Chicago, but denied being Constantine. At police headquarters his Identity is being investigated.
At the police headquarters he made the following statement: "My right name is Louis Nathan. I came from Chicago three weeks ago and am engaged in buying junk. A. year ago I was married and my wife's name is Blanche Nathan. "Ve live in a flat at 59 South Halsted street. My wife is in Cincinnati but I do not know her address. I had been living with a woman previous to my marriage and she got to making trouble for me, so I came to St. Louis to get away from her and assumed the name of Louis Duval. I am not Constantine and do not know anything about the north side murder except what I read in the papers. My brother is Charles E. Nathan, connected with the Builders
and Traders association of Chicago." Asked his mother's first name the prisoner said: "I cannot remember it. I always called her 'mamma,' but as nearly as I can recall her name, it was Sarah. I am a Jew and I understand Constantine is an Italian." The prisoner's underwear bore the Initials "W. E.," and he could not explain why unless a mistake was made in a laundry in marking. In reply to inquiry a dispatch was received from Chicago saying Charles Nathan was found in his office and confirmed all the prisoner's statements. The prisoner said once he was arrested in Chicago on suspicion but was identified and released. A picture of Constantine sent out by the Chicago police bears a striking resemblance to the suspect and the description coincidentally tallies.

Providence, R. I.. Feb. 13. Recovering bodies of victims of the steamer Larchmont, which sank in collision with the three-masted schooner Harry Knowleton, proceeds slowly and with difficulty along the icy shores of Block Island. So far 51 bodies have been gathered in by coast patrols and vessels sent to scour the sound. Th list of survivors still stands at 19. The purser, Oscar A. Young, ot Providence, still maintains there wera from 126 to 150 passengers on the steamer when she left Providence for New York, and most of the survivors who were able to express an pinion were inclined to support his figures rather than those of Captain McVey of the Larchmont, who estimates the number of passengers at from 50 to 75. The Larchmont carried a crew of 45 men, of whom only Id are accounted for. This means a
total of 150 to 200 people aboard the Larchmont, of whom nine passengers and 10 sailors survive. Their condition is pitiable, but physicians are in almost constant attendance and express confidence that none of the injured are likely to succumb. There
are only two women among, the survivors. Mrs. Harris Feldman of New York, and Miss Stdie Gallup of Boston. Coast guards from the two life saving stations, aided by a large number of people, patrol the beach and water front for bodies. Every corpse that eame ashore was incased in ice several inches thick. Among those lost Is said to have been a little squad of Salvation Army workers from Worcester, numbering 10 persons. When it was evident that the boat must sink and frenzied passengers were endeavoring to get into t7sc boats the Salvationists are said te have fallen on their knees, where they joined in prayer, invoking the Almighty to save and protect the shipwrecked people. Only one of this little band, a woman, is said to be among the survivors. Mrs. Feldman of Providence, describing the awful scenes following the collision, is quoted as follows: "I shall never forget that moment. We all seemed so helpless, so utterly beyond human aid. In the agonized cries of frightened women and the shouts of men, I. suddenly felt my husband seize my arm and force me to where they had started to lower
the captain's long boat. Men were climbing in but my husband and some man I don't know, lifted me in. All my life I can never forget those cries of anguish and terror that arose from those who sank with the ship that disappeared like magic, under those white-capped waves. As the steamer sank I could hear some sweet voiced women singing a gospel hymn. It was 'Onward, Christian Soldiers. Jtrst as soon as we got away from the lost : ship the waves began to break over j us and we were drenched to the ', skin. The salt water froze on us and
I began to pray that I might die, but :
God was very merciful to me. My husband and another man would slap me and kept rubbing my arms and body. I think It saTed their lives as well a3 my own, for it kept our blood in circulation. After untold suffering wa finally got ashore at daybreak.
