Kansas City, Mo., June 11.—As a warning to all rivals in love that | they must fight fair,a jury in circuit court declared to-day that John W., Tulley must pay $1500. Tulley and John Bowling were rivals for the smiles of thesame girl. Bowling was much the younjrer of two and seemed to be making headway with the girl. Then Tulley whipped him right in the young woman’s presence and thus got a clean field for himself. Bowling sued Tulley becaused of the whipping, and the jury to-day gave him $1500. Of this amount $500 was for compensatory damages; that is, to compensate him for the beating he got, and $1000 was for exemplary, or punitive, damages. Tulley’s case wasa peculiarly aggra- vated one, because while Bowling sat in the parlor with the young woman, who was playing the piano, Tulley came to the door and beckoned him into the dining room, and there beat him unmercifully. The young woman was Miss Rose Swanson, daughter of Mrs. Carrie Perkins. Blazing Oil on Victim’s Feet Logansport, Ind., June 10.—It was learned here to-day that Jere- miah Landis, a bachelor living in Adams Township, was last night brutally assaulted and robbed and |, left, bound and gagged, on the floor of his home. It wasgenerally known that he kept hidden about the prem- ises a large sum of money. Acecording to his story therobbers compelled him to tell where hismoney was hidden by pouring kerosene on his bare feet.and setting fire to it. The sheriff and posse have return- ed from an unsuccessful hunt for the robbers. ' = At Affe Old Age. Fort Scott.

They were repulsed with severe loss. “The position of the Japanese in Kwan-Tung is said to be precarious “There are rumors from the same sources that the Vladivostok equad ron has effected a junction with the Port Arthur fleet, that a naval bat- tle took place, and that the Japanese lost four large ships”. MILLIONAIRE’S POOR STOMACH The worn-out stomach of the over- fed millionaire is often paraded in public prints as a horrible example of evils attendant on the possession of great wealth, But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion is far greater among the toilers. Dys- pepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far worse tortures than the million- aire unless they avail themeelves ofa standard ine like Green’s Au- it Flower, which has been a favor. ite houeehold remedy for all stomach troubles for over ti -five August Flower rouses the liver, thus creating ite and in- , ion.

Telegraph communi- % —— ARE TOO CROWDED. London Streets May Find Relief in Double-Decked Thoroughfares. Plan Suggested Would Cost Milllons— Commission Is at Work Hearing Proposals and Studying Various Plans. How to relieve London’s congested streets is a problem the authorities long have tried to solve, and some novel pro- posals were made to deal with the diffi culty when the London traflic commis- sion met recently. The only way to solve it, said Mr Charles Scott Meik, was by making new roads, Two great arterial thorough- fares, running from north to south and from east to west, were of first impor- tatice. They should pass as closely as possible to the large railway termini and other congested centers. Special pro- visfon should be made for through trafiic and automobiles. Mr. Meik suggested a double-decked construction of roads, the upper deck being reserved for fast vehicles, includ- ing automobiles, and the lower for slow- er and heavier traffic. To reach the up- per deck certain secondary streets should be connected with it. The double- decked road should be within a four- mile radius. A suspended railway run- ning along the new thoroughfares was proposed, The cost would be $375,000 a mile, whereas a shallow underground railway would cost $250,000 a mile, and tubes $1,750,000 a mile, The total cost of the two main avenues was estimated by Mr. Meik at $355,930,000, but the re- coupment from the sale of surplus lands would bring the net cost down to $M6,- 555,000, He estimated the net yearly revenues from the various railways at $8,123,750 As illustration of the dangers of Premature burial, most people will be greatly surprised to learn that the home secretary of England has admitted that 10,000 persons » buried annually in England and Wales without death cer- tificates. William Tebb, president of the London Association for the Preven- tion of Premature Burials, has deter- mined to take action toremedy this state of things, Doctors, as is not infrequent differ on the chances of premature burial, but even if the odds were a mil- lion to one it would still be desirable tc take all possible precautions to save the unfortunate unit from so terrible e doom, The manner in which Mr. Tebbs and his associates proposes to deal wit} the danger is by the institution of pub- lic mortuaries, where bodies can remain until the fact of death is put beyond the possibility of doubt. Another practical remedy suggested against the peril is ¢ more general acceptance of the principle of an open coffin and a shallow*grave but there is a great deal of prejudice to overcome before this system could pre- vail, FOUND MOST DOUBLE STARS. Assistant Astronomer, R. G. Aitkin, of the Lick Observatory, Heads the List, No other observer in the astronomical field has achieved the distinction of dis- covering more double stars than Assist- ant Astronomer R. G. Aitken, of the Lick observatory staff. During the past four years he has found the position and measurements of no less than 645 pairs of double stars, the last Lick observa- tory bulletin, just published, alone con- taining a list of 216 discovered in 1903. The importance of a double-star system depends principally upon the closeness of its components, and the present list is interesting mainly because it con- tains a large percentage of very close pairs. It also includes new and closer components to six double-star systems, previously catalogued, and companions to several stars bright enough to be vis- ible to the naked eye. AUCTION AT THE VATICAN. Collection of Gifts of Pope Leo XIII, Will Be Sold at Public Vendue. > The enormous collection of gifts which had been pregented to Leo XIII. on the occasion of his jubilee is to be sold at auction. All religious articles, sueh as vestments, , church ornaments and sacred vessels, have been distributed among the poor churches of the world, principally in Italy. $ The remaining articles form a hetero- genous mass of statues and paintings, whose artistic value is not high enough for the vatican museums and galleries. All these articles are now to be sold at public auction in one of the large halls of the vatican. Many of the donors, however, object and have sent protests ess demands for the-return of. their ts. FIND PALACE OF PHARAOH: Old Home of Egyptian Royalty Dag Out Near Thebes 6n Left Bank of Nile,” The Pharaoh’s palace, jately dug out at Egypt, lies on the left bank of the Nile and was erected by one of the rulers ofthe e REVENGE FOR BACHELORS. Upen Famous Mayor of Gowrie, la.—Has Twen- ty-Fiye Offers of Marriage. Tables Are Turned The tables have been turned upon Mayor E. W. Sortzer, of Gowrie, Ia, who is attaining national fame as the friend of old maids. Confirmed bachel- | ors are laughing at his peculiar pre- | dicament, while ue has fled to Des ! Moings to escape’ the storm which he has brought down upon his own head. The trouble comes from Mayor Sortzer’s widely quoted proclamation | imposing a fine of not more than ten | dollars on all old maids and widows who do not propose during this leap year and a fine of not more than $20 | on all old bachelors and widowers who | refuse a proffer of marriage. The fines are to go toward Gowrie's library fund. In issuing this proclamation Mayor Sortzer overlooked one fact, but .when | the confirmed bachelors in and around | Gowrie had got over their first burst of wrath they remembered this one fact, and from that day began the may- or’s tribulations. This fact has gone forth broadcast, together with copies of the proclamation. It is: “Mayor Sortzer is not married. Here’s your chance, girls.” Up to date Mayor Sortzer has re- ceived 25 proposals from al. sections of the country—at least he confesses to this number. Those who are laughing at his discomfiture say that the num- ber is far greater, or if not will soon beso. The great majority of these let- ters contain the gentle hint that if he does not desire to marry the writer the $20 fine which he has stipulated should be at once paid over to the library fund. Hundreds of letters have come to Webster City from old maids, old bachelors, widows, widowers, and even young maids and men. All except the personal offers ask the mayor to get the writer a helpmeet. Following Is a sample letter sent from Yankton, 8. D., by J. Z. Wilman; “Have read your proclamation in several of the papers. Am on a quar- ter-section ranch and need a_ wife. Please put me in correspondence with some lady in your town. I am in ear- nest and do not want to correspond for fun. I mean business. Don't care whether she is an old maid, widow, or young maid. Women are scarce here. I will try to keep some of your lady folks from having to pay the fine you propose to impose, “I also have ten friends, each of whom will take a wife. Write me by return mail.” RELICS IN UTAH'S CLIFFS. Prehistoric Habitations Have Re- cently Reen Discovered in the Mountains, The discovery of cliff dwellings in Utah farther north than they have ever before been found has been brought to the attention of the local branch of the American Institution of Archaeology at Salt Lake City. An expedition is being planned to make a scientific investigation of the ruins, of which nothing has ever before been written. They are in Nine-Mile canyon and the branches are about 45 miles northwest of Price and Carbon county. They are within 20 miles of Brocks station upon the stage line running from Price to Fort Duchtsne and Vernal, which has been the scene of} several bloody tragedies. So fer as known the only explora- tions of the cliffhouses made to date was by a party headed by L. S. Dick- inson, of Salt Lake City. There are probably at least a dozen cliff dwell- ings in this vicingfy and perhaps, said Dickinson, most of them are so high that it is impossible to get to them by ordinary means. They were able to reach only three and had great diffi- culty in doing that. They found dried corn, some stones used in grinding it and a little pottery such as is obtained from the cliff dwellings in the San Juan country. Prof. Byron Cummings, of the Uni- versity of Utah, said the other day: “I never before heard of the existence of these cliff dwellings north of Price. I am anxious to see them. I intend to ‘bring the matter to the attention of the Archaeological institute -with a view to having a thorough and scien- tific investigation undertaken.” “ NEW CURE FOR LOCKJAW.
