A WIDOW SWINDLED Gave Up Thousands to a Plansible Tatter. WHO RETIRES TO PARTS UNKNOWN He Concocted a Dime Novel Story About Her Daughter and She Believed Him. Denver, Col., March 27; About three years ago Mrs. Helen C. Woods, a rich widow employed a man calling himse B. F. Frane, but whose real name is Owens, to take a number of horses from Denver to Los Animas. There he was arrested on suspicion of having stolen the horses. He was soon released, how ever, and on his return to Denver he told .Mrs. Woods that while he was in jail he overheard a conversation between two men who had been employed to kidnap Mrs. Wood's 4-year-old daugh ter, Millie, for the purpose of gaining possession of certain property in Pitts burg, Pa., to which she was sole heir. As Mrs. Woods has rich relatives in Pittsburg, she believed the stories, and gave Frane within a few months $12,000 to be used in frustrating the plot and getting possession of deeds and securi ties that were on deposit in a Cincinnati bank. After a short absence he returned and reported that he had obtained the papers, but had killed two men in es caping and that the detectives were on his trail. He represented to taer that she was also liable to be arrested, as he was acting as her agent. Mrs. Woods gave him $3,000 to buy off the detectives. February 21st Frane returned to Denver and the next day he got from . Mrs. Woods two drafts on Kountze Bros., of New York, one for $2,000 and the other for $3,000, and- she has not seen him since. Mrs. Woods finally consulted a lawyer, who reported the matter to the police. A detective traced Franca to Lima, Ind., where all trace of him was lost. ; New Postmaster at Pendleton Washington, March 27.

A number of newspaper men and invited guests wit nessed an exhibition of Prof. Eliaha Gray's telautograph in -the Home In surance building' this afternoon.; The telautograph, as its name implies, ena bles one to transmit instantaneously by wire a fac simile of his handwriting to a distance. An ordinary pen or pencil is employed. As it moves a pen at the other end of the line moves simultaneously and forms the words and letters in pre cisely the same way.

Writing sketches, maai cal notation, and stenographic charact ers were transmitted with equal fidelity. The tests were made through artificial resistances representing many hundred miles of wire. It is expected that the telautograph will be generally used as an adjunct to the telephone and for busi ness purposes generally where private wires are employed. . Burned to Death. Lafayette, Or., March 27. A sad ac cident occurred last evening down on the Gibbons Bros.' farm, about three miles east of this place, in which George Gib bons lost his life. George and Dan Gibbons were doing some butchering some distance from the former's house, when they discovered his house on fire. On arriving at the house George, be lieving his family to be within, made a rush into the house and was soon over come by the intense heat and smoke. Dan made repeated efforts to get at his unfortunate brother, but owing to the intense heat was unable to do so. Only a small proportion of the remains could be found. Dan Gibbons was severely burned about his face and hands. At the time of the fire the family of the un fortunate man had gone over to his brother's house vleiting, and had George known of the safety of his family the unfortunate affair would not have oc curred. George's family consists of a wife and four children, who have the sympathy of the large community in which they live. Maxwell Outlines His Course. Washington, March 27. Fourth as sistant Postmaster-General Maxwell to- daa indicated the line of policy which will govern him in his selection of about 50,000 fourth-class postmasters this year. He said : "In the first place I don't propose to permit unsuccessful politicians to dic tate appointments. Ex -congressmen and men who ran for congress and were defeated will not control appointments under . me. In the state where there is not a democratic senator and the districts are represented - by republi cans in congress, the state district county democratic committees will be asked to make recommendations for postmasters." Supreme Conrt Decision. Washington, March 27. -The United States supreme court has decided that the United States could not condemn the property of private corporations without considering in the proceedings the earning capacity thereof. The de cision grew but of proceedings to con demn the locks of the Monongahela Navigation Company, in which the right of .the company to collect tolls on vessels passing through the locks was not con- eider ed, such action being taken in obe dience to an act of congress in relation to the matter. The Routine Proceedings. Washington, March 27. The resolu tions offered in the senate by Chandler directing an inquiry into the operations of the immigration laws were laid over. A majority report was made by Hoar in favor of admission to seats of senators appointed by the governors of Montana, Wyoming and Washington. A minority report adverse will be made tomorrow by Vance. Call addressed the senate on his reso lution annulling the provision of the last legislative appropriation bill for the ap pointment of a commission by the sen ate and house to examine into the civil .service of executive appointments. Call's resolution went over without action and the senate went into executive business. Black Hose. Dress Shirts. A NEVER ENDING WAR Brazilian Rerolntidnists Are Badly De moralized. CANNOT HOLD OUT MUCH LONGER The Marching of the Troops Marked by Many Outrages and Lawless Acts. Valparaiso, March 27. General Saraiva's defeat by government troops near Alegro, Bio Grande do Sul, on Thursday was a greater blow to the Brazilian revolutionists than was at first thought. Advices from Rivera say that General Saraiva was not only beaten badly, but that 3,000 of his men were made prisoners. He also lost a large amount of ammunition and arms. The news from Bage is to the effect that General Tavarez is entrenched outside the Castilhistas stronghold, and is shell ing the town from the bills with several large-sized guns. No general attack has yet been made upon the garrison. So far as the Castilhists and federals are concerned, they appear to be mainly en gaged in avoiding an engagement. Their marches through the district affected by the revolution have been marked by many outrages. Women appear to have been the chief sufferers from the atroci ties. Many homes have been destroyed and women subjected to assaults of the most dastardly character. Stories reach here almost daily of attacks upon women and young girls which are difficult to believe. Meanwhile it is apparent that the war must soon end through the in terference of the general government of Brazil. ' One thousand two hundred troops from the general government reached Rivera yesterday, and this makes the number of the national army in Rio Grande de Sul more than 5,000. Tney are well armed and equipped, and it will not be possible for the revolution ists to bold out against them very long. It is believed here that Tavarez will be met at Bage by a force of national troops large enough to overwhelm him and end the war there. The correspondent in Montevideo says that armed bands from the Rio Grande have again crossed the border into Uru guay, where shots were exchanged with Uruguayan troops. There is another ministerialcrisis in Argentina, and Vic toria Romero is expected to resign. The trouble grows out of the considera tion of the treaty with Brazil. A. Strange Heavenly Body. San Francisco, March 27. 11 :30 a. m. ine most peculiar phenomenon is visible in the heavens here, a little south of west and not far above the horizon. It appears like a large star and occasion ally flames out red and blue sparks. It is rapidly moving from the south to the north and is slowly sinking. Efforts are being made now to reach Lick observa tory and other observatories, which are shot off from telegraphic communication at this hour. The same phenomenon is Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. mm .AES03JUlEltf.-PJJn3 Notions, Drapery India Pongee Silks. reported from Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo and other points. Not Seen at Z.lck Observatory. San Jose, Cal., March 27. Communi cation was gained by telephone between Lick observatory and here about mid night, but before the telescope could be fixed on the phenomenal star it had sunk below the horizon and no observa tions could be taken. In this city the phenomen was quite perceptible, ap pearing as very brilliant, periodically fashing forth red and blue light. As it crossed the line of the horizon it ap peared as a double star to the naked eye. Witnessed by Hundreds at San Diego. San Diego, Cal., March 2a The phe nomenon was first noticed at midnight, slightly south of west. At 1 a. m. it was north of west, and moving rapidly north and sinking toward the horizon. It had the appearance of a star of the first mag nitude emitting a continual brilliant sparkle of green, red and yellow, lights. A flash occasionally shot from the daz zling center. Good glasses failed to re veal the disk. The sky was perfectly clear at 1 130 and the star had sunk so . low it was hid by the heavy fog over the ocean. The most brilliant spectacle was witnessed by hundreds of people. Too Mneh drain In- Mexico. City of Mexico, March 27. The re moval of the duties on corn which went into effect March 15, has caused another great rush of grain into Mexico from the United States. There has also been a great decrease in the price of corn in this city and other places in Mexico to which it is being shipped. Shippers are com plaining of the action of the railroad companies in maintaining high freight rates, and the government will be ap plied to in the matter. Lincoln Will be an Kmbassador. London, March 27. In the commons Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary under secretary of foreign affairs, stated he had been informed of the intention of the United States to create an ambassador to the court of St. James in reciprocation for the friendly action of her majesty in raising the British minister at Washing- -ton to the rank of ambassador. Three days is a very short time in which to cure a bad case of rheumatism ; but it can be done, if the proper treat ment is adopted, as will be seen by the following from James Lambert, of New Brunswick, Els. : "I was badly afflicted with rheumatism in the hips and legs, when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It cured me in three days. I am all right today and would insist on every one who is afflicted with that terrible disease to nee Chamberlain's Pain Balm and get well at once." 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.
