Nearly two blocks of the finest build ings in Dalton, Ga. lie a smouldering mass of ruins as a result of a $250, OOO fire. The Hotel Dalton, in which the fire originated, is a total loss, as well as the opera house and the mam moth plant of the Showalter Printing company and a half dozen large busi ness houses. A detachment from Chattanooga's fire department came to Dalton on a special train, but the flames bad done their worst work when the help arrived. Three negroes, charged with the murder ot S. C. Eason in a negro ?tore in Ellaville, Ga., January 2, were | removed from the Scaley county jail by 200 masked men and lynched in a pine thicket a quarter ot a mile from town. About twelve o'clock the mob came to the jail and awoke the jailer, A. C. Baugh, telling him they had si prisoner. When he opened the door half a dozen guns were thrown in his face with the request to unlock the cells in which the three negroes were confined. One hundred and eighteen men are entombed in the Banner mine, at Lit tleton, Ala., and but three bodies have teen brought to the surface, following a terrific explosion. It ls believed all the men are dead. The fatal after damp, which followed the explosion, kept the rescuers from penetrating the mme, although they have been far enough in the interior to see a gruesome pile of human bodies hud dled together near the shaft. Practi cally all of the men killed were ne gro convicts. General. Implicated by the confession bf Joe Wiggins, a former life convict, Wit and John Rogers, uncles of little Waldo Rogers, were arrested for com plicity in the lad's abduction from his home in Las Vegas, N.

Clark Hyde, convicted after a sensational trial of the murder of CoL Thomas H. Swope of Kansas City, ? millionaire philanthropist, was granted a new trial by the Missouri supreme court, sitting at Jefferson City. Doctor Hyde has been in the county jail at Kansas City for nearly m year, following a sentence to life imprisonment. The supreme court, in setting aside the verdict of the trial court, remanded Hyde to the "custo dy of the marshal of Jackson county without bail.' Conditions are rapidly shaping themselves in the states of Chihuahua md Sonora, Mexico, for a crisis far more serious than the loss of life in battle. Americans in these two states declare that unless the rebellion is ended with peace overtures very soon, all Mexico will experience a disas trous famine. Little wheat was plant ed last autumn. It was announced in Berlin, Ger-| many, that the American potash rep resentatives were coming to Berlin to negotiate a settlement directly with me German syndicate without further iipJomatic steps. Population statistics of the thir teenth census announced included Pulaski, Tenn., 2,928 in 1. J.

Cchuman of Cor aell university brought to an end tho controversy which has been in prog ress for a few weeks over admitting negro women students~4o Sage col lege dormitory.

'Twenty-three persons are reported dead, at least a hundred Injured, two towns practically swept away, scores of buildings demolished and thou sands of dollars* worth of property damaged as the result of a tornado that raged in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.

Western Missouri was visited by" a rain,and hail storm, but this section was not in the main path of the tornado. According to Bishop Orson Brown of Colonia Morelos, one of the Mor mon colonies sou'b. of Bl Paso, Texas, the colonists are greatly disturbed by raids upon their plantations. A B?rd ing to advices from Torre?n, James Boland, representing American oper ators in the Los Reis district, has made formal complaint to United States Consular Agent Carothers at Torre?n, regarding the interruption of business caused by the insurrec tion. General Lojara has been asked for protection for American interests. Judge William S. Kenyon (Rep.) was elected United States senator to succeed the late Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver, on the sixty-seventh ballot in the Iowa legislature. He received 78 votes, just enough to elect, against 26 for Supreme Court Justice Horace E. Deemer, his Republican opponent. The deadlock has existed Since Janu ary 17, when the first ballot was ta ken. Judge Kenyon was born in Elyria, Ohio, on June 10, 1869, and receievd 'his education at Grinnell, Iowa. Two hundred men called at Mount Moriah hospital in New York in an swer to an advertisement offering $25 for a quart of human blood. Most of them were penniless and all de clared that the monetary reward was their sole consideration Tn ' applying. G J. Allen, a sailor, was selected, aud for half an hour blood flowed from his arteries into the veins of Mrs. Ro sie Reisler. Mrs. Reisler, who had lost blood through an internal hem orrhage, is on the road to recovery. Tom L. Johnson, twice- congress man from the Twenty-first Ohio dis trict, four times mayor of Cleveland., champion of 3-cent street railway fares and prominent advocate of the single tax theories of the late Henry Georgie, died in Cleveland, Ohio, after a long illnes.s Death was caused by cirrhosis of the liver. He was 5? years old. -: < Washington. The Democrats of the house in cau cus agreed upon the initial steps in tariff revision. By a vote of 128 tc 29 it was decided to pass tbe Cana dian reciprocity within the next week without amendment The following articles are to be put upon" the free list as a sop to the farmers along the Canadian "border who will be adverse ly affected by the -reciprocity agree ment, though the effect of the action will be widespread: Agricultural im plements, including plows, harrows reapers, binders, mowers, boots and shoes, harness and saddlery, barbed wire and ether fencing, cotton bag ging and ties, coarse sacks, burlaps, flour, dressed meats and meat prod ucts, sait, sewing machines, seedard and hardwood. Another caucus will probably be held within the next twc. weeks to decide what shall be done to the woolen and cotton schedules. A fight on the amendment feature of the New Mexico constitution will delay its ratification in the-senate Senator Owen announces that he wilJ introduce a resolution providing thal before the president shall issue a proc lamation admitting New Mexico and Arizona into the union, the people ol New Mexico shall vote on a proposed amendment to the constitution. He contends that, as framed, the consti tution is impossible of popular amend ment in any important particular. The Supreme court of the United States held to be valid the so-called Grant patent, covering a system ol se'tting rubber tires on carriage wheels. Representative Clark of Florida cre ated some excitement in the house by moving to abolish additional house po sitions amounting to about $30,U0C annually.' Mr. Clark proposed to take from a dozen or more committees their assistant clerks and stenogra phers, saying that the committees had no more use for these employees than a "hog has for a side pocket." President Taft sent In th.e nomina tions, of Walter I?. Fisher of Illinois to be secretary of the interior and Roland P. Faulkner of the District of Columbia to be assistant director of the census. They were recess ap pointments. Senator Cu?berson of Texas pre sented itt the senate a memorial sign ed by 500 citizens of El Paso, Texas, who, "being a liberty-lovlngt>;n?ple,' request the United States to Wk? no steps or interest in the Revolution, which is being waged in Mexico. The petition \sks that if any steps have been taken by the United States j which woudl interfere with the Revo lution, that such action be rescinded at once for the reason that "warfare waged by the insurrectos is a strug gie for existence." It is becoming manifest that con gress is facing a stormy session, and that there can be made no forecast of the probable legislative results. That fact that both of the great po litical parties are badly divided is no longer denied, ard the leaders appear to have little hope of restoring any thing more than surface harmony, There are virtually four parties, each with a large representation, working at odds In the session. The Republi can minority in the house is divided between Regulars and Insurgents, and the Democrat wings are the Conserv atives and Progressives. x Trouble is brewing for George W. Wickersham, attorney general in Pre* ident Taft's cabinet. Official Washing ton is agog over a resolution intro duced in the house of representatives by R?presentative Rainey of Illinois, which is aimed directly at the attor ney general. Mr. Rainey's resolution calls for an investigation concerning the proceedings instituted under the Sherman anti-trust law and subse quently dropped and as to whether Attorney General Wickersham has "outside employment," which would disqualify him for his position in the president's cabinet. MARM] TUET MAN IN LOWEF COPYMC/tT. f909J3T .TffJTO0O3?-S1&f/?/J.. S SYNOPSIS. James Wilson or Jimmy as he ls called !>y .his friends. Jimmy was rotund and looked shorter than he reilly was. His ambition In life was to be taken seriously, but people'steadily refused to do so. his irt is considered a huge Joke, except to himself. If he asked people to dinner ev zryone expected a frolic. Jimmy marries Bella Knowles: they live together a year and are divorced. Jimmy's friends ar range to celebrate the first anniversary of his divorce. Those who attend the party aro Miss Katherine McNalr. who ?very one calls Kit. Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Brown, the Misses Mercer. Maxwell Reed and a Mr. Thomas Harbison, a Sou'li \merican civil engineer. The party is In full swing when Jimmy receives a tele gram from his Aunt Selina, who will ar rive In four hours to visit him and his wife. Jimmy gets his funds from Aunt Belina and after ne marries she doubles lils allowance. He neglects to tell her of his divorce, as she is opposed to lt. Jim my takes Kit Into his confidence, he tries to devise some way so that his aunt will not learn that he has no longer a wife. He suggests that Kit play the hostess for one night, be Mrs. Wilson pro tem. Kit "refuses, but ls finely prevailed upon to act the part CHAPTER III. I Might Have Known lt. The minute I had consented I re gretted it. After all. what were Jim my's troubles to me? Why should I help him impose on an unsuspecting elderly woman? And it was only put ting off discovery anyhow. Sooner or later, she would learn of the divorce, and-Just at that instant my eyes fell on Mr. Harbison-Tom Harbison', as Anne called him. He was looking on with an amused, half-puzzled smile, while people were rushing around hid ing the roulette wheel and things of which Miss Camthers might disap prove, and Betty Mercer was on her knees winding up a toy bear that Max had brought her. What would '- he think? It was evident that he thought badly of us already-that he was con temptuously amused, and then to have to ask him to lend himself to the deception! ,? With a gasp I hurled myself after Jimmy, only to hear a strange voice in the hall and to know that I was too late. I was In for it, whatever was coming. It was Aunt Selina who was coming-along the hall, followed by Jim, wbo was mopping his face and trying not to notice the paralyzed si lence in the library. Aunt Selina met me- in the doorway. Tc my frantic eyes she seemed to tower above us by at least a foot, and beside her Jimmy was a red, perspir ing cherub. "Here she is," Jimmy said, from be hind a temporary eclipse of black cloak and traveling bag. He was^ on top of the situation now, and he *as mendaciously cheerful. He had not said, "Here is my wife." That would, have been a He. No, Jimmy merely said. "Here she is." If Aunt Selina chose to think me Bella, was it not her responsibility? And if I chose to accept the situation, was it not mine? Dallas Brown came forward gravely as Aunt Selina folded over and kissed me, and surreptitiously .patted me with one hand while he held out the other to Miss Caruthers. I loathed hin:! "We always expect something un usual from James, Miss Caruthers," he said, with his best manner, "but this-this is beyond our wildest dreams." . Well, it's too awful to linger over. Anne took her upstairs and Into Bella's bedroom. It was a fancy of Jim's to leave that room just as Belia had left it, dusty dance cards and fa vors hanging around and a pair of dis carded slippers under the bed. I don't think it had been swept since Bella left it. I believe in sentiment, but I like lt brushed and dusted and the cobwebs off of it, and when Aunt Se lina put down her bonnet, lt stirred up a gray white cloud that made her cough. She did not say anything, but she looked around the room grimly, and I saw her run her finger over the back of a chair before she let Hannah, the maid, put her cloak on it. Anne looked frightened. She ran into Bella's bath and wet the end of a towel and when Hannah was chang ing Aunt Selina's collar-her concesr sion to evening dress-Anne, wiped off th? obvious places on the furniture. "What's that young woman's name?" she asked me sharply, when Anne had taken the towel out to hide it. "Ann? Brown, Mrs. Dallas Brown/ I replied meekly. Every one replied meekly to Aunt Selina.* "Doe;? she live here?" "Oh, no," I said airily. "They are hTe to dinner, she and her husband. They are old friends of Jim's-and mine." "Seems to have a good eye for dirt," said Aunt Selina and went on fastening her brooch. When she was finally ready, she took a bead purse from somewhere about her waist and took out a half dollar. She held it up before Hannah's eyes. "Tomorrow morning," she said sternly, "you take off that white cap and that fol-de-rol apron and that black henrietta cloth, and put on a calico wrapper. And when you've got this room aired ord swept, Mrs. Wil son will give you ihis." Hannah took two steps back and caught hold of a chair; she stared helplessly from Aunt-Selina ;o the half dollar, and then - at me. Anne waa trying not to catch' my eye. "And another thing," Aunt Selina said, from the head of the stairs, "I sent those towels over from Ireland. TelKber to wash and bleach the one Mrs. What'B-her-name Brown used as a duster." Anne was quite crushed as we went down the stairs. 1 turned once, half way down, and ber face was a curious mixture of guilt and homeless wrath. | Over her shoulder I could see Han- j nah, wide-eyed and puzzled, staring siter un. Jim presented everybody, and then he went into, the den and closed the dcor and we beard bim unlock the cellarette. Aunt Selina looked at Lei la's bare shoulders and said she 'GULAR cSTAlRCA?E ? TEN, ET? guessed ehe /idn't take cold easily, and. conversation ^rather languished. Max Reed waif looking like a thunder cloud, and Ji?| came over to me with a lowering"* ^pression that 1 had learned to driad tn him: "VYhat fool [-nonsense is this?" he demanded, "what in the world pos sessed you. Kit, to p*ut yourself in such r.n equivocal position? Unless" -he stopped ?ud turned a little white -"unless you ' are going to marry Jim." I am sorry:for Max. He is such a nice boy, and good looking, too, if only he were not to fierce, and did not want to make] love to me. No matter what I do. Max always disapproves of it. I have always bad a deeply rooted conviction that if I should ever in a weak moment marry Max, he would disapprove of; Aat, tpo, before I had done lt very I<j?ng. \ "Are you?'" he demanded, narrow ing his eyes- a sign of unusually bad humor. "Am I what?" v "Going to ?larry him?" 'If you mein Jim," I said with dig nity, "I haven't made up my mind yet. Besides} he hasn't asked me." Aunt Selina had been talking wom an's suffrage 'jin front of the fireplace, but now, she Jturned fto me. "Is this the vase Cous*- Jane Whit comb sent yeti as a wedding present?" she demanded, indicating a hideous urn-shaped affair on the mantel. It came to me as an inspiration that Jim had once said it was an ancestral Guested She Didn't urn, so [ said without hesitation that it was. j And hecause there was a pause aid every one was looking at us, I added that it was a beautiful thing. Aunt Selina sniffed. "Hideous!" she said. "It looks like Cousin lane, shape and coloring."' . Then ?he looked at it more close!;-, pounced:on it, turned it upside down and shoik it. A card fell gut which Dallas picked up and gave*" her with a bow. Jim had coire cut of the den and wai dancing wildly around and beckonirg to me. By the time I had made ott that "hat was not the vase Cousin ^ane had sent us as ? wedding "present, Aunt Selina had examined the care. Then she glared across st me and, stooping, put the card in the fire. I lid not understand at all, but I knew I had in some way done the unforgiiable thing. Later. Dal ,told me it was her card, and that she had sent tlie vase to Jim at Christmas, with a generous check inside. When she , straightened from the firepl?ce. It was to a new theme, which she at tacked Vith her usual vigor. The vase Incident was over, but she never for got it She proved that she never did when she sent me two nrn-shaped vases \*tth Paul and Virginia on them, when I-that is, later on. .'The cause in Engiand has made great strides," she announcp ' from the' fire place. "Soon the hand that rocks tie cradle will be the hand that actually rules the world." Here she looked it me. "I'm not up on such things," Max said blaadly. having recovered some of his gool humor, "but-Isn't it usually a foot toat rocks the eranie?" Aunt Selina turned on him and Mr. Harblacn. who were standing togeth er, witt a snort. "Whffc have you, or you, ever done for the independence of woman?" she demanded. i Mr. Harbison smiled. He had been looking rather grave until then. "We have a least remained unmarried." he retorted. And then dinner was again amounced. He tas to take me out, and he came EcroBS the room to where I sat coliapsid in a chair, and bent over me. "Do you know." he said, looking down rt me with his clear, discon certing gaze, "dc you know that I have ,ust grasped the situation? There ras such a noise that I did not hear ymr name, and I am only real izing mw that you are my hostess! I don't kiow why I got th? Impression ! 9 that this was a 'bachelor establish ment, but 1 did. Odd. waen't lt?" 1 positively couldn't look away from him. My features seemed frozen, and ray eyes were glued to his. As for telling him the truth-well, my tongue refused to move. 1 intended to tell him during .dinner if I had an op portunity: I honestly did. But the more I looked at him and saw how candid his eyes were, and how stern his mouth might be, the more I shiv ered at the .plunge. And. of course, as everybody knows now, 1 didn't tell him at all. And every moment I ex pected that awful old woman to ask me what I paid my cdok, and when I had changed the color of my hair I Bella's being black. Dinner wa3 a half-hour late when we finally went out. Jimmy leading off with Aunt Selina, and I, as hostess, i trailing behind the procession with Mr. Harbison. Dallas, took in the two i Mercer girls, for we were one man short, and Max took Anne. Leila Mer cer was so excited'that she wriggled, and as for me. the candles and the orchids-everything - danced around in a circle, and I Just seemed to catch the back of my chair as lt flew past Jim had ordered away the wines and brought out some weak and cheap Chianti. Dallas looked gloomy at the, change, but Jim explained in an un dertone that Aunt Selina didn't ap prove of expensive vintages.. Natural ly, the meal was glum enough. Aunt Selina had had her dinner on the train, so she spent her time in asking me questions the length of the table, and in getting acquainted with me. She had brought a bottle of some sort of medicine downstairs with ner, and she took a claret glassful, while ! she talked. The stuff was called Po j rhona: Shall I ever forget it? j , It was Mr. Harbison who first no ? tjced Takahiro. Jimmy's Jap had j been thc" only thing in the menage : that Bella declareji she had hateld to . lpave. But he was doing the strangest 'things: His little black eyes shifted nervously, and he looked queer. i ake Cc!d Easily. j . . "What's wrong with him?" Mr. Harbison asked me finally, when he saw that I noticed. "Is he ill?" Then Aunt Selina's voice from the j other end'of the table: "Bella," she called, in a high shrill ? tose, "do you let James eat cucum hers?'.' j - "I think he must be." I said hurried j ly aside to Mr. Harbison. "See how i his hands shake!" But Aunt Selina ? I would not be ignored. ^ "Cucumbers and strawberries." she j repeated impressively.' "I was saying, i Eella. that cucumbers have always ^given James the most fearful iridiges; ? tion. And yet I see you serve them at your table- Do you remember what I wrote you to give him when he has his dreadful spells?" . I, was . quite speechless; every one was looking, and no one. could helpi It was clear Jim was racking his brain, and we sat staring desperately .at each ?other across the candles. * Everything I had ever known faded from me; eight pairs of eyes bored into me. Mr. Harbison's politely amused. "I don't remember," I said at last. "Really, I dorft believe-" Aunt Se lina smiled in a superior way. "Now, don't you recall it?" she in sisted. "I said: 'Baking soda in water taken Internally for cucumbers! ba king seda in water externally, rubbed on, when he gets that dreadful, itch ing strawberry rash." I believe the dinner went on. Some body asked Aunt Selina how much, overcharge she had paid in foreign hotels, and after that she was as harmless as a dove. Then half-way through the dinner we heard a crash in Takahiro's pan try, and when he did not appear again, Jim got up and went out to in vestigate. He was gone quite a little while, and when he came back he | looked worried. "Sick," he replied to our Inquiring glances. "One of the maids will come In. They have sent for a doctor." Aunt Selina was for going, out at once and "fixing him up," as she put it, but Dallas gently interfered. . "I wouldn't, MJss Caruthers," he said, in the deferential manner he had adopted toward her. "You don't know what it may be. He's been look ing spotty all evening." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Impossible. The car conductor wears a frown He daily sees He cannot make the hobble gown ; Step, lively, please.
