Capler. vice president, and J. Paul Stevens, general superintendent, were in Richmond a short time Saturday enroute from Chicago to Cincinnati. The party was aboard a special train making a tour of Inspection of the system. Last night they were at Peru. President Stevens said: "Our company is experiencing too much trouble with the water along the line, and we are going to remedy this as soon as possible. We plan to put in filtering plants wherever there is a water tank, and at Peru we propose to put in an extensive water system, getting our supply from Pipe Creek, two miles south of our division shops. "We plan making other minor improvements at many points along the line just as soon as this zero weather lets up. The extreme cold is crippling our traffic very much. Tonight we have 600 cars of coal ready for movement, but handling it in a satisfactory manner is out of the question." DEMOCRATS ARE TO HOLD A LOVE FEAST (National News Association) FARGO, N. D..

Prominent Democrats of the United States will be present in the "get together" meeting, one of the largest Democratic gatherings of the Northwest in years, which is to be held here Jan. 17 and 18.

TURNED THE BATTLE. Impulse That Moved the British Lan- . ears at Aliwal. The Sixteenth lancers, than whom there is no more famous regiment In the British service, performed a fine feet at the battle of Allwal, In the Punjab, In January, 1846. The gallant Sikhs had thrown themselves into squares and in this formation for a time resisted the desperate charges of the English cavalry Just as stubbornly as the British Infantry had resisted the French cura testers at Waterloo. Again and again did the Sixteenth lancers strive to break through the masses of the Sikhs, and again and again scores of saddles were emptied, and the British were beaten back with slaughter. As the lancers got close enough to deliver their thrusts their weapons would splinter like matchwood upon the stout shields of their swarthy foes. Suddenly an inspiration came to the troopers. Without receiving any orders to that effect, but as If controlled by a unanimous impulse, they shifted their lances to the bridle band and charged in once more. The Sikhs, entirely unprepared for this sudden and masterly maneuver, received in their bodies instead of on their targets the spear points of the horsemen. Into and through the squares swept the Sixteenth, with lances as crimson as their tunics. Even so, it is recorded that the resistance was so desperate and sustained that the Sikh square had to be ridden through again and yet again before It was finally overcome. Exchange. Seattle, it is said, is to emulate New York city and perhaps surpass Chicago by building a forty-two story sky scraper.

A BIG HOTEL

BURNS

Guests of Pasadena Hostelry Flee in Nighties. (National News Association) PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 15 The Hotel La Pintoresca, commonly known a 3 the Hotel Pasadena, which had accommodations ' for about 250 guests, was burned to the ground about 11 o'clock last night. Many of the guests who were mostly tourists wintered here, were forced to leave their rooms and the building in scant attire and but few escaped with their personal belongings. The monetary loss was approximately $125,0000 with little insurance. About one hundred guests were registered at the hotel, white 50 more invited guests were attending a musicale there when the ire was discovered. All the guests escaped without injury. The fire started in the attic, supposedly from defective electric wiring. The flames spread rapidly and those guests who had retired or were about to retire on the upper floors barely bad time to escape in their night attire. About twenty of these guests were cared for at the Hotel Maryland. No more serius inconvenience, however, than Iobs of their personal belongings and the shock of the excitement was suffered by the hurriedly departing guests. The night was balmy, the temperature being between 75 and 80 degrees. I. O. O. F. MEETING Whitewater lodge of Odd Fellows will have a special meeting Friday night, when members of the local organization will confer the first degree on several candidates from Webster. ANOTHER MAD DOG WAS SHOT SUNDAY Will the canine population of Richmond, victims of the rabies quarantine, be disappointed by the health department on the eighteenth of this month? Just as all the happy puppies in the city are licking their Jaws in preparation for their emancipation on Thursday, an alarm is spread by the finding of several more infected animals in the last few days, and many believe that the quarantine should be prolonged until all danger is past. Yesterday a dog was found by the police which gave all the symptoms of being mad, and the officers ordered its execution, which event transpired with the aid of chloroform in Dr. Hoover's office last night. This pup was bitten by a mad dog on New Year's day, and has been running at large since the animal which attacked it was shot. It is not known to have bitten any animal or person. The head of this dog was sent to Indianapolis for examination today, but the result will hardly be known before the ban is due to be lifted on Thursday. The Fruit Cuekeo. The Indian fruit cuckoo, which, like all members of the cuckoo family, bays its eggs in the nests of other birds and thus avoids the trouble of hatching them, Is said to exhibit a great deal of strategy In dealing with crows, its natural enemies. Whereas the hen, an inconspicuous, speckled gray bird, conceals herself In the foliage, the cock, remarkable for his brilliant black plumage and crimson eyes, places himself on a perch near a crow's nest and sets up a great racket The crows immediately rush out to attack him, and he takes to flight with them In pursuit The hen meanwhile slips Into the nest and deposits an egg. Sometimes the crows return before the egg Is laid, and then the Intruder gets a trouncing. A Link With Primitive Times. . All ceremonial maces at court, in parliament of learned societies and municipal bodies, field marshals' batons, gold and silver sticks, etc., are descended from the heavy fighting sticks and clubj of primitive savages. The chiefs always had the best carved clubs, which were the symbols of prowess and authority. The Austen Han boomerang and the Irish shillalah are both maces. London Standard. Also the Whole.

PLOT ON AMERICANS

Treasury Officials in Persia in Danger. (National News Association) TEHERAN, Jan. 1. Revelation that a plot exists against the lives of the Americans who were brought here by W. Morgan Shuster to assist him in his duties as treasurer-general, and who remained behind after Mr. Shuster departed, was made today by Frank E. Cairns, director of taxation under Shuster. Cairns also declared that a conspiracy has been hatched at the.institgation of Russia to blacken Mr. Shuster's character. Charges that Shuster used Persia's finances to leplenish the Persian revolutionary war chest are being circulated. The lawlessness which has developed from the Russian occupation of the Northern Persian provinces makes it unsafe for- the American to venture from the 'capital. Cairns denied accusations of Russian agents that Shuster had ps$d any money to hired astttssins, declaring that all Mr. Shuster's transactions were duly recorded and are now in the hands of M. Moirnard, the Belgion who was foisted into the office of the treasurer-general by Russia. Mr. Cairns says that the lives of the Americans here are in constant danger and all desire to leave the country at once if a financial settlement can be made. The Americans are demanding pay for the full term which they contracted to serve. If finances are adjusted they will leave before next Sunday. BALKED THE BURGLAR. It May or May Not Have Been a Lew Down Game, but It Won. The man with his coat collar turned up and his derby pitched down over his eyes who was slouching along in the shadow of the building suddenly beckoned to the man on the other side of the street "Here's an easy one, Pete," he growled hoarsely. "Where's an easy one?" snarled Pete. "This here house. It's like taking gum from a stenographer that's fix in" her hair. Some chump has gone away an' left his latch key in this door." Pete took a swift look at the house and began to back up. "You can go to it," he said. "I don't want to butt in on it." "Are youse nutty?" "Naw, I ain't nutty. But de feller wot lives dere is a low down sneak wldout no feelin' fer nobody, an' I don't want nothin' ter'do with 'im. No, I don't know him, but I'm next ter his game. He sticks that key in dere to ketch suckers like you. Dere's a wire on dat key an' a million volt battery attached to dat wire. I wouldn't touch it if yer'd gimme de First National bank. But go ahead I'll be acrost de street watcbln' wot happens." Nothing happened. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Domestic Amenities.

TO ELECTOPFICERS Annual Y. M. C. A. Meeting Tomorrow Night. Election of seven new officials for the association, and hearing reports from the executive officers concerning the work accomplished in 1911. will be the principal features of the

annual meeting of members of the Richmond V. M. C. A. tomorrow evening. Much interest fs being taken in the election of directors to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of Howard A Dill, Arthur L. Smith, E. K. Shera, Guy D. Miller, and Dr. A. L.. Bramkamp. Two trustees will also be elected. The reports to be handed in by President Richard Sedgwick and the executive officers, will be the most optomistic since the founding of the institution. The membership is making a steady increase. Following the business, session, a wrestling contest will be staged for the Y. M. C. A. championship, between R. Hoyt Hardin and Herbert B. Maynard. HOBO IS CRAZY With the arrest of Benjamin Franklin Perry of Niagara Falls, N. Y., the police solved the identity of the tramp who in an effort to keep warm last Friday night, while sleeping out, lay so close to a fire he built that his clothing was practically burned off Arresting officer Harry Fee, who found him at the South End C. & O. station about 1:40 o'clock Monday morning charged Benjamin Franklin with being "crazy". When examined by Mayor Zimmerman and Chief Gormon this morning the judgment of the officer was sustained in their opinion. SHOES IN JAPAN. A Man Will Wear Out From Eight to Ten Pairs a Year. The shops and booths of Japan are of unfailing interest. Here the greengrocer and fruit seller has arranged bis wares till it seems as though one looked upon a great bouquet. There the flower shop blazes in brilliance and the lantern maker squats at his multicolored task. At the next entrance we perhaps see a man severing chicken meat from the bone, and he performs the operation as skillfully as the surgeon with his dissecting knife. Beef and chicken are commonly sold in this fashion. Two or three paces farther on one is confronted with a typical Japanese shoe store. All the footwear of the little brown man is here on view. The geta (wooden clogs) and straw sandals are indeed a fanciful exhibition. They line the benches, the floors, the shelves. They bang from above and seemingly are everywhere, allowing the seller just about enough room to squat on his mat The-newcomer Is' at once startled at the immense quantity of this simple footwear and the many places where it is sold, but he soon finds a solution to his query when he hears that a Japanese man annually makes away with from eight to ten pairs.

This is indeed surprising in view of the fact that there is remarkably little poverty in Alaska, the comparatively few cases of destitution usually being the result of physical accidents or old age. The sufferers in most cases are former prospectors or miners, who are taken care of by being placed under arrest on a technical charge of vagrancy, and sent to a hospital where they are confined the entire length of their sentences, which terminates immediately upon their recovery, and given medical attendance, at the expense of the government. The governor asks that an appropriation be made for better care of the aged. According to the report, the shipments of copper ore during the fiscal year of 1911 were far greater than in 1910, and amounted to 23,633 tons, valued at $776,497, as against the 13,056 tons, valued at $165,566, constituting the shipments of the year previous. ; . The disproportionate increase given In the estimated values is due to the unusually high grade of the Copper River ore, but these figures were given before Bmelting and are not entirely accurate. Governor Clarke bitterly complains of the present system fixing the ownership of minig claims, which he blames for the frequent and long drawn out litigations in the courts. preventing the development of enor-j mously wealthy mines. He states! that the requirement of a certain ; amount of annual assessment work is not at all adequate, especially in cases where the powers of attorney are exercised in connection with claims that are staked in association tracts, when

a single Individual holding seven now- -era of attorney may reserve 160 acres of placer ground and hold it from year to year merely by . performing $101 worth of assessment work. In moat of these cases the ground is held for persons, who gave the power of attorney and who probably never even visited Alaska tor speculative purposes only.

The rest of the passengers alighted, the horses were removed, and the stranded car was left until help could be found. Mommsen remained, reading his book.
