SEEING THE ALPS. tourists Whs Do Thsir Mountain Climbing by Toloacope. The tourist of today who visits the JUps and who lacks the physical endurance or whose time is too limited to make the ascent of some of the fa mous peaks nevertheless is able closely to survey the panorama of mountain scenery through the medium of powerful telescopes located at the terminals of the mountain railroads. By this means the rocks and glaciers and pe culiar formations of these historic ; mountains may be carefully studied though the spectator need not ap proach them within many miles. ' Each of these mountain telescopes Is mounted on a forked cradle and Is so nicely balanced that its position may readily be fixed by the tightening of small thumbscrews after the focus has been adjusted with a band wheel. ,Tne magnifying power of the instru ments varies from S5 to 116 diameters. but is adapted for landscape observa tion only. When weather conditions are suitable, climbers on the Titlis may be seen through the telescope at Uetliberg, near Zurich, a distance of forty miles. and the hotel on the Faulhora, sixty miles away; may be recognised. Every " step of the toilers on the slopes of the ilatterhorn can be followed by means of the Instrument on the Biff elalp above Zerrnatt. Several lives have been saved by the means of these glasses, for signals of distress on : the moun tains are seen by the watchers at the telescopes. Harper'a.

BODY WAS HID IN A BARN CASE PROMISES TO BE AS FULLY SENSATIONAL AS THE GILMAN AND MARKOWITZ MURDER MYSTERIES NO ARREST. Dayton, Ohio, January 23. Rivaling in sensational features the Dona Gilman and Anna Markowitz cases is an other murder mystery with which the local police are now grappling. Mary Forschner, aged 15, scarcely more than a child, but buxom and pretty, lies cold in death in Berk & Fry's morgue, on Fifth street, and her sealed lips hold the secret of a criminal assault and murder. She was choked to death early Saturday night in a field extending along Knox street within a short distance of her homo, at Vermont and Knox avenue. Her body was dragged to the barn on the Grafton-Kennedy estate, where it was found at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Police Chief Allaback and Chief Detective Hughes admit that they are 't sea. Two suspects are under arrest, but the officials state that they are held principaly as witnesses. Bound for the Bank. The girl left the home of her stepfather. Robert Geppert, in North Dayton, shortly- after 6 o'clock Saturday evening, carrying a Dayton Savings and Trust Company's deposit book for the purpose of placing $9 in the bank, as partial payment on a lot which her stepfather had purchased some time ago. Her movements from that time until her body was found are a mys tery to police and relatives. When she failed to return Mr. Geppert an. the girl's mother, brothers and sister Maggie became alarmed and institut ed a search. Geppert secured a "lantern and be gan searching the neighborhood about 10:30, but failed to notify the police. He enlisted the aid of several neighbors, including Arthur Hyre and John Merkle. Not until after midnight was information sent to the police. Then nontenant Haley dispatched several officers to North Dayton to assist in 'the search, but before they arrived the stepfather made a horrifying discovery. Discovering that the wet ground had been torn up as if by persons i:' a desperate struggle, he followed a trail which led to the shed in the rear of the Kennedy home, and by the aid of his lantern found the lifeless body of his stepchild. The girl was lying on her face as if she had been thrown carelessly down by her heartless assailant. The Coroner was on the scene by 5:30. His superficial examination showed that the victim had been choked into submission by the fiend, who. after accomplishing his purpose, dragged the girl through the mud to the barn. JOHN F.

BRIMFUL OF CATCHY AIRS

SOME OF THE BEST LOCAL AMATEUR TALENT IN THE CITY WILL TAKE THE PRINCIPAL PARTS IN THE PLAY. Princess Bonnie, the ever-popular j two-act comic opera will be produced at the Gennett theater Thursday and Friday evenings of this week by a large company of local amateurs. The play is to be given under the auspices of St. Paul's Episcopal church guild which has in the past produced several very successful amateur operas, notably "Bi Bi," and the 'First Lieutenant." "Princess Bonnie" has many catchy, musical numbers and the cast includes some of the best vocalists of the city. Principals and chorus have for the past two weeks been practicing hard and it is certain the play will run as smoothly as any protessional produc tion. Miss Cates in Title Role. The title role is taken by Miss Josephine Cates, a very clever actress and who possesses a remarkably sweet voice. The story that is woven about her adventures is of heart interest and the comedy is delightful. The principals in this production, with two exceptions, have participated in numerous local amateur productions and are thoroughly at home behind the footlights. The comedy roles are taken by Walter Eggemeyer, who has a part that fits him exceptionally well. W. R. Poundstone, Miss Juliet Swayne, Howard Kamp and Myron Malsby. Other leading parts are taken by the Misses Marie Kaufman and Pearl Hasecoster and Roy Lacy and Raymond Swing. The chorus is an exceptionally well trained and large one. Several fancy dances will be given. Advance sale of tickets opened today at the theater and the demand for seats was encouraging for the promoters. A Richard A. Jackson, Former Local Attorney, Advanced By Rock Island. HIS RISE IS PHENOMENAL HE IS NOW SLATED FOR POSITION AS VICE PRESIDENT AND GEN ERAL COUNSEL OF THE GREAT SYSTEM. Dispatches from Chicago today states it is understood R. A. Jackson, formerly of this city, will become vice president and general counsel of the Rock Island and Pacific system. At present Mr. Jackson is first vice-president, and general solicitor of the Rock Island with headquarters at Chicago. The advance for Mr. Jackson is said to follow the resignation of Robert Mather as president of the Rock Island company of New Jersey and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa- ' cific company and the appointment of Benjamin Yoakum, as Mather s successor. Career Brilliant One. The rise of Mr. jckson in the railroad circles since leaving Richmond has been almost phenomenal. He is recognized as one of the leaders among the younger element now promoting the interests of the large transportation companies. During his residence in this city he practiced law and was associated with John F. Robbins and H. C. Starr. HE THREATENS SUIT Sheriff Gouges Arm Handling Barrel Booze Used in Jones Trial. CARELESSNESS CHARGED Sheriff Meredith is threatening to bring suit against the county. He does not know whether the county would be the right defendant, however and this fact is likely to prevent any action being taken. Whiel removing a barrel containing a portion of the iAock of "wet goods" which was eonf seated in the raid on Dr. Jones store at Whitewater, the sheriff gouged his arm- on a nail in the barrel. It was necessary for a physician to treat the injury to prevent blood poisoning. The cut is an ugly one. Friends told the sheriff that he should not collect damages as he had been partly responsible for the accident through careless handling of the barrel. Thp, sheriff has had slmost as much, notolety- out of-the case aa Dr. Jones. -

RHEUMATISM

MERELY RAGWEED After Five Years a Piece of Vegetation Finishes Travels Through Her Anatomy. YOUNG GIRL'S EXPERIENCE WHILE PLAYING BASKETBALL STUBBLE ENTERS HER HAND AND LAST WEEK COMES OUT THROUGH WRIST SORE. Economy, Ind.. Jan. 25. After suf fering with what she thought was rheumatism for five years, Miss Mabel Hunnicutt learned the affliction to her wrist was due to a piece of ragweed that had imbedded itself there that long ago. Five years ago. Miss Hunnicutt was playing basket ball in a fiM. She slipped and fell. Her hand struck the sharp point of a ragweed stubble. An incision was made in the palm of the hand, but it was not known that a piece of the weed had remained , within the flesh. The wound healed? and Miss Hunnicutt thought no more about it. For some time she has been suffering from a slightly crippled hand and rheumatism was believed to be the cause. Sore Came on Wr;t. A sore appeared upon the back of the wrist and it became necessary to lance it. After the operation and the ' exudation had been removed a piece of ragweed half an inch long and an eighth of an inch thick was found. It was a piece of ragweed stubble. During the. time the sliver had been in Miss Hunnicutt's hand it had worked its way about three inches and passed entirely through the hand and wrist. After the operation the suffering was relieved and it is expected the removal of the substance will affect a permanent cure.

I should be tlie last to advocate a commission with any power to fix rates if that were constitutional, as it would not be or with any functions other than that of furnishing the evidence to congress upon which from time to time it might act." FOULKE WILL MAKE ADDRESS Will Speak to Columbia Graduates on Subject, "Pragmatism in Politics." DEFINES MEANING OR WORD SCHEDULED TO SPEAK AT CHICAGO IN THE NEAR FUTURE ON "LIBERTY OF THE PRESS." ST. PAUL WANTS HIM. Mr. William Dudley Foulke left this afternoon for Indianapolis where he will attend a banquet of alumni of Columbia college. Several prominent men, among them Mr. Foulke, who are graduates of Columbia, are to speak at the banquet. Mr. Foulke's subject is "Pragmatism in Politics." "What is Pragmatism1?" Mr. Foulke was asked. "As nearl;- as I have been able to escertain,'' he said, "from the works of Professor James of Harvard, it means a departure from hide-bound ideals. The whole thing seems to me errant nonsense and I shall for the most part content myself with making fun of what I understand of it." Mr. Foulke is scheduled to speak in Chicago at a date not far off on the "Liberty of the Press." This will doubtless be apropos of the New York World and the Indianapolis News. He is also asked to address the Sons of Colonial Wars at St. Paul on some historical subject. Herd Names. "Calling names doesn't make any real difference," said the conservative campaigner.
