k BRINGS TERROR TO CITY HALL. Apparently Demented Man Shoots Up Office of Mayor of Buffalo. Buffalo, X. Y., March 19.?Joseph Stefunski, a cowboy from Geyser, Mont.,' apparently demented, threw officials at city hall into a panic this ^ afternoon when he entered the mayor's office and opened fire on the clerks and a policeman on duty there. Chas. E. Lang, a policeman, who t vf Vi tv-? o t-? woo oVi frvnr gl<ippJ'"U nuu iuau, nao ouvt iv/ui times, but probably will recover. Stefunski called twice for the mayor or his secretary. This afternoon he t called for the third time. Addressf ing Chas Eggloff, license clerk, he ^ asked for the mayor. Eggloff told him the mayor was out. "Well, I want $100," said Stefunski. Eggloff tried to parley with the * man while Lane, who had overheard the demand for money* walked toward him. The sight of the officer apparently alarmed Stefunski, who stepped back and drew a revolver, i yelling: "I'll get that hundred or know the reason why."' Lang closed with Stefunski, but was unable to seize the revolver. Stefunshi fired five shots, four of which ^ lodged in Lang's neck and shoulders. m The fifth, aimed at Eggloff, went r wild. [ Detective Sergeant Herman Burkhardt rushed in and overpowered the man. \At police headquarters Stefunski declared he was an anarchist and had gone to city hall to "shoot 'em all." Left Infant on Doorstep. r Spartanburg, March 22.?Mr. and * Mrs. R. L. Swainford of Athens, Ga., arrested in Landrum yesterday upon the charge of deserting a baby, which they left at the home of E. W. Gowan, near Inman, a few nights ago, were brought to Spartanburg to-day. Mrs. Swainford and the H child, which had been restored to J her, were taken to the county poor house and the husband was confined ^ in the county jail. The child was left at the Gowan "home last Thursday . night. Swain y ford and his wife were walking through the country from Fair Forest. They were without money and ' he was out of employment. As they wandered through the night in a drenching rainstorm they determined to leave the child at the first home Y. they came to that had the appearance of being the residence of persons able to care for the child. Soon they reached the Gowan place and left the little baby on the porch, ' \ while they continued their tramp toward the mountains. The discovery of the baby caused an alarm to be ? sent out and the result was the arrest of the couple at Landrum. Mr. and Mrs. Swainford assert that they were married in Athens, Ga. Swainford, who is a mechanic, came to Spartanburg with his wife shortly after they were married and secured a position at Tucapau mills. He then accepted a position wuh the inter urban.

Some men haven't noticed the price of booze and beer remains un\ changed. jf You can get something for nothing sometimes, but you always have to pay for the experience. The biggest nuisance in the world is the mutt who butts in and tells your pet story just as you were about to spring it. . Speed and not endurance has the call today. Even money won't go as far as it used to, but it goes faster. 1 Every newlywed calls his wife "Honey" until he realizes that he has been stung.

Mamh 20.?At a late hour tp-day the bodies of A. J. Tindal and Barkley Rush, alleged to have been killed by dynamite or drowned while fishing in the Santee River on March 13, had not been found, although untiring search continues. The tragedy continues to be the chief topic of discussion, and there are various opinions expressed with reference to the affair. Old Soldiers Home Muddle. Columbia, March 19.?Charges and counter charges were made here fol lowing a meeting of the board of commissioners of the Confederate Home, which broke up in a row following a stormy session. Col D. A. Dickert left the meeting and handed in his resignation to the Governor, declaring that he was not going to have anything more to do with the institution under present conditions. Mr. A. W. Todd, a member of the board, this morning handed out a statement denying the charges made by Col Dickert. Capt J. Pat Calaweli, until recently commandant at the Confederate Home, in a statement to-day, declared that he had been summarily dismissed by the trustees because he had stated before the legislative investigating committee that the services of Major RichaYdscn were not need ed and that the $100 per month paid to Major Richardson was just so much money thrown away. Capt Caldwell declared that at a "rump" meeting of the board, attended only by Major Richardson, Col Dickert and Dr. Butler, he had been "fired" because of his statement that the salaries drawn by Major Richardson and Dr. Butler were so much money thrown away. He charges that Dr. Butler and Major Richardson were not members of the board at this time, having previouly handed in their resignatiaons. Capt Caldwell sent his application for re-election as commandant to the board yesterday, along with a statement. He received a reply summarily removing him from the office of com mandant. In his statement former Commandant Caldwell makes the statement that it had been testified that it cost 25 cents per capita per day to feed the old soldiers at the Home. From a daily report of those present kept by him, Capt Caldwell claims that there was a daily average attendance last year of 57, which shows a total spent for feeding, clothing and caring for the old soldiers last year was $5,201.25. There was appropriated last year for the maintenance of the Home $17,000, besides $3,000 for repairs, making a total of $20,000. Under the Act establishing the home members of the board cannot draw salaries, but Major H. W. Richardson and Dr. F. W. P. Butler were on the pay roll at salaries of $100 and $50 per month, respectively, as "white help." It was openly charged that Major Richardson did no worK, other than a general supervision, dnd such were the charges and countercharges of mismanagement and wastful expenditure of funds that a legislative investigating committee probed the matter. This committee reported among other things that the management was too expensive, that the charge of drinking by the inmates was warranted, that the authorities of the home had spent too much money for liquor, that the physician in charge was costing too much money and that his salary should be reduced and generally that neither the State nor the Veterans was getting their money's worth. In order to prevent members of the board from drawing salaries a provision was put in the appropriation bill to the affect that no part of the appropriation was to be paid to any member of the board under guise of anv eniDlovment whatsoever except j actual expenses for attending meetings. Following the adoption of this provision of the appropriation bill for this year Major Richardson, who had been chairman and treasurer of the old board, and Dr. F. W. P. Butler, who was a member of the old board and physician at the old home, resigned their places on the board. Capt Caldwell, being "fired" as commandant, Major Richardson was elected to the position of general manager on a salary and Dr. Butler was retained as salaried physician. Confederate Veterans and the people of the State generally are very much dissatisfied over the continual ? ~/v o -f f hn f~\ 1 r\ ruw iiicii uecu gwijif, uii tit mc wni Soldiers' Home, the charges of mismanagement, wastful expenditures of money, drunkenness and general incompetency. It is expected that at the annual Reunion of the Confederate Veterans in Aiken this spring this matter will be thoroughly aired and an expression of the old soldiers obtained. Truth may also be a joy forever, but it is seldom a thing of beauty. WAR OX IMMODEST ATTIRE. State of Ohio Would Regulate the Clothing of Its Women. Declaring that the immodest attire worn by women on the street and in public places is the cause of "a great wave of immortality now sweepinc hvor rmintrv " Rpnrpspnta tive Capelle of Cincinnati, has introduced a bill in the lower house of the Ohio legislature, providing for the appointment by the governor of a commission to " prescribe the fashions to be worn by women in the state of Ohio." Introduction of the measure resulted from a chargg filed with Governor Cox by a woman who did not sign her name that "immorality is practiced by married men in the offices of the statehouse and elsewhere in the state of Ohio." Under the provisions of the bill the proposed commission would be comDelled to fix limits on decollette dresses, so that "not more than two inches of the neck below the chin shall be uncovered." Another clause of the measure provides "that transparant stockings shall not be displayed or worn in public places." Another provision of the bill states "that it shall be unlawful to display, or wear, any outer garment trimmed or combined with lace, insertion or any kind of embroidery, mesh or net, through which the color or texture of the skin may be distinguished with the lace or other transparent material backed with opaque material." Members of the proposed commission, according to the bill, would have to be between 30 and 5~0 years old. Two of them would have to be married men and of good moral character. One would be a minister, one a parent of not less than three children and the third a social settlement worker. The commission would be authorized to "prescribe rules and regulations for the designing and manufacture of woman's clothing, and to prohibit such style and patterns of garments as the commission, after hearing, shall deem to be detrimental to virtue and chastity." . Will Close Many Schools. Columbia, March 20.?Governor Blease to-day refused Superintendent of Education Swearingen's request to serve on a statutory board with Comptroller General Jones and State Treasurer Carter, as ex-officio, to make arrangements for borrowing $30,000 needed, according to the superintendent's request, within the next ten days so as to -maintain schools in which 25,000 pupils are enrolled. The governor's action will close the schools, said Mr. Swearingen tonight. At the recent general assembly an act was passed levying a one-mill school tax to pay the bonds on monies borrowed in this manner. Messrs. Jones and Carter, it is said, are willing to make the necessary arrangements but doubt their legality owing to the lack of the cAvorn nr'c cifrna tlir# HER MIND ASLEEP 19 YEARS. After Operation Woman's Faculties Awake from Long Oblivion. Atlanta, Ga., March 20.?Local physicians are puzzled over the case of Mrs. Carrie B. Jordan of this city, who yesterday suddenly regained control of her mental faculties after suffering for nineteen years from a form of aberation which rendered her entirely oblivious of her surroundings. Mrs. Jordan '"awoke" at a local hospital, where she was recovering from an abdominal operation performed five weeks ago. She said that the nineten years during which her faculties were beclouded were an utter blank, al though she remembered things that transpired before her mind became affected. Mrs. Jordan's first request was that her daughter, whom she had last "seen" as a 2-weeks-old baby, be brought to her. The daughter is now Mrs. Pansy Rowe, of Atlanta. Thirsty Bishop Given Liquor. Lawrence, Kans., March 20.?A hotel porter's mistake in assuming that a Methodist bishop who complained of being thirsty wanted whiskey instead of water has started an investigation that probably will lead to the exposure of persons here engaged in the illegal sale of intoxicants. "I am UJI is l* . lJitra5C gCl 1JIC a. drink," the bishop said to the porter who showed him to his room in a local hotel yesterday. "Certainly sir," replied the porter. Five minutes later he returned and handed the churchman a bottle of whiskey. The incident was reported to the city and county officials who have taken steps to learn who supplied the liquor. I?
