F.obber Tribe* in Persian Territory Severely Punished--French Re­ pulse Fierte Attack of Berbers. Tifils. -- The Russian troops which recently Invaded Persian territory in the vicinity of Lenkoran .for the purpose of punishing Kurdish raiders of the Russian garrison at the Frontier post, Belesuvar, April 13. act­ ed with a promptitude calculated to overawe the tribes of the first class near Belesuvar. The fight which ensued assumed the proportions of a pitched battle. The Russians were greatly outnumbered, but they pressed the battle with great vigor and routed the Persians, inflict­ ing a loss of 34 men killed and 50 wounded. The remainder of the tribes­ men broke and fled. The Russians lost one officer and seven soldiers wounded. . Cossacks Destroy Village*. The "population of the world could.!

The theater of war is in the moun­ tain range of Karadagh, which wedges in the Russian boundary, and is the traditional kingdom of robber tribes | which boast thousands of fighters t armed with modern implements of war and organized with a semblance of military discipline. The robbers had cut the telegraph lines in order to hamper the mobilization of an expedi­ tion which Persia is assembling against them at Tabriz. The Russian expeditionary force now on Persian soil aggregates 400 Cossacks, a squadron of sharpshoot­ ers and a battery of machine guns. It was intended to send a much larger force there, but a phenomenal flood of the Aras river hinders the concentra­ tion of reinforcements from Baku and other points north. French Repulse Berbers. Colomb Bechar, Algeria.--A French column posted on Talzaza hill, which commands the plain of Tamet, was attacked fiercely at daylight by a number of Berters, who, with nomad Arabs, have b«n concentrating for some weeks past on the western fron­ tier of Algeria. Although surprised, the French force rallied and fought desperately, not only beating otf their adversaries, but pursuing them for a distance of six miles. So hot was the pursuit that the Arabs, in their headlong flight, aban­ doned their dead and wounded. Several green flags of the prophet also fell into the hands of the French. This French victory was costly. Twenty-eight men, including an offi­ cer, were killed and 100 men, including ten officers, were wounded. The losses were greatest in the Foreign Legion. The Berber losses were much heav­ ier, no less than 125 dead bodies be­ ing found by the French troops. The French pursuit was stopped by darkness. ALDRICH BILL TABLED. "To be dunned ' is a phrase more familiar than pipular. Yet "to dun" can claim an ancestry equal or supe­ rior to a good many of the sprigs of nobility that frequently land on our shores. It Is said that the verb orig­ inated in the name of John Dun, a bailiff of Lincoln, in the time ' of Henry VII. of England; that it became proverbial to say of any one who was slow to pay, that the creditor must "dun him," that is, »end Dun after him.

Washington.--The house committee on banking and currency Friday voted unanimously to table the Aldrich financial bill. It also was decided to give a hearing to Representative Vree- land of New York, who recently intro­ duced a financial bill which is looked upon as a substitute for the Aldrich measure. The discussion In committee was brief. The only point debated was as to whether or not the committee should make a formal report giving its reasons to the house for its un­ favorable action, and the conclusion finally was reached that no reasons should be given. Consequently the committee's report will be a mere statement of the action of the com­ mittee. Theater Panic Averted. Saginaw, Mich.--The Bijou vaude­ ville theater here was emptied in two minutes Friday night without a panic when the building was filled with dense smoke from the explosion of a gasoline lighting plant in an adjoining building. Flames were leaping 60 feet in the air as the audience emerged from the theater, but cool heads prevailed and the exits were kept clear. Father and Child Drown.

Coffeyville, Kan. -- Two men en­ tered the Citizens* bank at Chau­ tauqua, 25 miles west of Coffeyville, Friday, and after forcing Cashier C. C. Walterhouse and' Del Easley, a busi­ ness man, to enter the vault, locked them in, secured all the currency in sight, amounting to about $3,000, and escaped into the Osage hills across the line In Oklahoma. Four posses Started in pursuit and as the roads were muddy it was believed the rob­ bers would be captured. The robbers secured but half an hour's start. The robbery was one of the most daring ever executed in this part of Kansas, the scene of many daring ho!d-*ips on the part of the Dalton, Starr and other gangs of outlaws who from time to time have made their rendezvous in the mountainous coun­ try of near-bv Oklahoma. Cashier Waltemouse had scarcely opened the bank at Chautauqua in the morning and placed his currency on the counter ready for the day's business when the two robbers en­ tered. The only other : erson in the place was Del Easley, The robbers, both of them ^ell dressed, made their way leisurely to the cashier's window. One _of them was a man well known about town, and when he commanded Walterhouse and Easley to throw up their hands, the latter two took the matter in the light of a joke. The serious intentions of the robbers were realized a moment later, however, when they both drew revolvers, and, pointing them their victims, or­ dered them to get into the vault. Without further ado Walterhouse and Easley complied. The robbers quick­ ly slammed the door shut, and then leisurely went about their business of Cashier Walterhouse irUited positive­ ly that one of the robbers was William Tenant, aged 23 years, formerly of Chautauqua, and who recently escaped from jail at Nowata, Okla., where he was being held on a charge of horse stealing. Tenant some time ago bor rowed a small sum of money .from the bank, and Mr. Walterhouse said that when Tenant entered the bank Fri­ day he supposed he had come to renew the note or to take it up.

Minnesota Senator Honored by Mon­ tana Indians. Washington. -- Senator Clapp of Minnesota, chairman of the commit­ tee on Indian affairs, is now a "Heap Big Indian," chief of the Crow tribe. He was given a great surprise Thursday by Chief Plenty Coos and his fellow-tribesmen, who have been witnesses before the Indian committee for the past three weeks. The chief marched into the committee room at the head of the band and through an interpreter phlegmatically informed the senator that the treatment that had been accorded the Indians was highly appreciated, and that an appro­ priate gift was due the white chief of the committee. Chief Plenty Coos then took from one of his followers a huge war bonnet, which had been the chief's insignia of rank and worn by him whenever he went into battle. He said that he was now a man of peace abd that the bonnet was of less value to him on the reservation than it would be to the senator in congress, and therefore he wanted the senator to take it. Senator Clapp was "completely flab­ bergasted," according to hia own de­ scription of his emotions. He took the war bonnet and thanked the chief. The decoration would create a sen­ sation in the senate chamber if the senator should decide to wear it there. It is made of eagle feathers, a band of which goes entirely around the head and droops almost to the feet. Plenty Coos and his band started for their reservation home in Mon­ tana Friday. Brutal Crime in Kansas. Manhattan, Kan. -- W. W. Hut- ton, principal of the high school here and a well-known educator, was waylaid by three men, beaten into in­ sensibility, robbed and thrown under the wheels of a train Saturday night and was rescued after one leg had been cut off.

Forman, N. D--Louis Orian, wife and five children, whose farm build­ ings were destroyed Wednesday after­ noon by a prairie lira, are missing and are believed to have p^rishetf in tike I llampft Columbus, O. -- Mistaken for burglars, John and William D. Frank, sons of R. O. Frank, an East side grocer, were skot and killed early Sunday morning by City Patrolmen Heinz and Casey. The latter has been suspended pending an investiga­ tion, but the former remains on duty. Shortly before the shooting burglars were discovered by neighbors In the grocery of R. O. Frank, at 1221 Par­ sons avenue. Both the owner of the store and the police were notified about the same time of the burglary. The two young men who were later shot, another brother, Albert Frank, and William Yoerger, hastily armed themselves and ran to the grocery. Patrolmen Heinz and Casey, who were already on the scene, were watching in the shadows of the building when the party came up and each mistook the other for the burglars. According to the statement of Yoer­ ger, W. D. Frank, who carried a small rifle, raiged it and fired four times at Patrolman Heinz, who then drew his revolver and shot and fatally wounded the young man. Patrolman Casey ordered John and Albert Frank to throw up their hands and the latter says they did so and that the shoot­ ing of John Frank was unjustifiable. Patrolman Casey declares that John didn't throw up his hands, but instead drew a revolver and had aimed it at him when he fired. Both the young men lived several hours after they were shot. SENDS FLEET TO AWE SULTAN. BACON MAY SUCCEED TAFT. Secretary of War Wishes to Retire About July 1 Next. Boston. -- Th«^ intimate personal fftends of Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, formerly of Boston, have received information which leads them to believe that Mr. Bacon will become secretary of war about July 1 A fin 11 r Italy to Make Naval Demonstration in Turkish Waters. Rome.--An Italian squadron, under command of Admiral F. Grenet, has set out for the purpose of making a demonstration in Turkish waters. The squadron comprises 19 warships, carry­ ing 7,000 men. It has been decided, if it is deemed necessary, to occupy a small island off that coast, but it is hoped here that Turkey may see the error of her way and give full satisfaction, so that more energetic measures may be avoided. The difficulty between the two na­ tions arises out of the refusal of the Turkish government to permit the in­ stallation of Italian post offices in Turkish territory, while at the same time other foreign nations have es­ tablished and are conducting post of­ fices there without interference. FUN FOR FLEET CREWS. Men from Battleships Have Gay Day at- San Diego. San Diego, Cal. -- After two days of pageantry on eea and land there was a restful lull in San Diego's cel­ ebration in honor of the American of the officers, including Rear Ad­ miral Thomas, were entertained at a picnic some 30 miles in the country. Boat races on the bay during the morning, a baseba,ll game in the after­ noon, 'fr^e lemonade and fruit, horse­ back rides, trolley excursion^ and sight-seeing tours occupied the atten­ tion of the 2,000 sailors who came ashore on liberty. All of the 16 vessels of the fleet at anchorage off Coronado were thrown open to visitors from ten a. m. to fige p. m., and the excursion launches run­ ning out to sea had all they could do to handle the interested throngs. At night there were fireworks. THE CALL OF THE SOIL. DAY8 OF FINANCIAL 8TRE38 MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK RICH. A staff contributor of a southern newspaper has taken up the question of the return to the farm of many who had forsaken it for the glitter 01 ths city. He says: "It is a well known fact that the history of this Govern­ ment shows that those men who have heen most successful in life and who have left their impress upon its peo­ ple and Its institutions as statesman, soldiers, financiers--have as a rule been those whose youth was spent on the farm, and it is to such as these that there comes with overmastering power THE CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially does it come with re­ doubled persuasiveness, greater pow­ er and sweeter pleading to the man of affairs when the clouds of financial unrest begin to darken the sky; when the cry of panic causes people to lose their wits, and act like stampeded cat­ tle; when with reason or without reason there ajises before him the specter of ruin, grinning in his face and waving its gaunt arms in threat­ ening gesticulation. The pitiable state into which some men were brought by the recent finan­ cial flurry, which happily is now passted, suggests these reflections. Some were ruined and a very few be­ came insane because of their losses. Two or three took their own lives. It is when such times come that the statesman, the great financier, and the man of affairs becomes tired of the struggle. He lays down his pen, turns from his desk and listens to the CALL OF THE SOIL. There are hundreds of cases throughout the United States of those who have money in the banks and are looking for investment in lands. No investment is better or safer. Take, for instance, the lands in Western Can­ ada that can be bought at from $10 to $15 per acre which yield a revenue equal to and often greater than their original cost. Those lands make a certain investment. During the past two months large investments' In these lands have been made, some In­ tending to use the lands for farming purposes of their own. Others to re­ sell to farmer friends. The agents of the Government of Canada located at different points throughout the United States have in their possession par­ ticulars of districts in which there are free homestead grants of 160 acres ea<;h accessible to railways, markets, schools, churches, &c. These are val­ uable lands. These agents will be pleased to give information to any de­ sirous of securing, and will tell all about the railway rates. &c HE COULD BE TRUSTED. THE LIVING What to do with the living room is a problem that confronts eTery house­ keeper. The living room should be In fact as well as in name a living room--a livable room. It is the room in which the most of our time at home is spent, the hours we have for leisure, the time we have for play, the place where- we entertain our friends and it is absolutely essential that the walls and furnishings of the living room should be harmoniotis in color, suitable in texture, and durable in material. The rich, soft, solid colored walls are the ideal walls for the living rooms. They make a better back ground for pictures, throw the furni­ ture out in better relief, are less dis­ cordant with rugs an i carpeting, and indicate a higher degree jf taste and . culture than do the colored mon­ strosities which wa paste on when we apply wall paper. Who ever saw roses climbing up a plastered wall growing out of a hard­ wood floor? Yet, that Is xwhat we suggest to the Imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our walls. They are thither artistic nor true. Roses are all very beauti­ ful, but they were never made to climb up interior walla and they do not grow from hardwood flooring. The set figures of wall paper are also tiresome and equally disagreeable and repeilant. The alabastlned wall is the only correct form of a tinted or solid col­ ored wall. Fortunately it is the only clean way, and more fortunately it is the only permanent way; the only way that does not involve the end­ less labor in the future. In lighting the walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect 85% of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but 15%. Lighting bills can be saved by choos­ ing a color which will reflect the largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns mod­ ify it, and so on, through the scale of colors. The color scheme of a- room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetings but it is also dependent upon the light of the room. CONCERNING THE OLD MAN. BAD FLOODS IN SOUTHWEST.
