Lamphere. according to the confes­ sion had a guilty knowledge of the murder of three men in the Gunness home during the time he lived there, * bo lit eight months in 1907, and he ! slated Mrs. Gunness in disposing of the bodies of the three men. He said he thought lie had not re­ ceived as much of the profits of the transaction as he considered himself entitled to, and he went to the farm­ house at night with a woman, chloro­ formed Mrs. Gunness, her three chil­ dren and Jennie Olsoa. He and the woman then searched the house, find­ ing between $60 and $70. The light they used was a candle, and they left the house without knowing they had toft behind a spark that soon burst Into flames. Mrs Gunness' method of killing her victims, Lamphere said, was first to choloform them as they slept and then if the drug did not itself kill, to •ever the heads with an ax. Each time a man was to be murdered, ac­ cording to Lamphere, she sent him to purchase chloroform. Lamphere said he saw one of them killed and aided in burying all three. These men were Andrew Helgelein and probably Ole Budsberg and Tonness Petersen Lien. Lien, Lamphere thought, was the third husband of Mrs. Gunness.

Was Fomented by Former Minister of lnterlor*-40 Officers Iropll- ^cated «ent to Fortresses. . ^ ̂ P&ris. -- Dispatches from Ma- jfSj indicate that the government thwarted a military conspiracy, fo­ mented by the friends of Juan de Laci- erva y Penaflel, former minister of the interior, against the Liberal cabinet The building occupied by the mili­ tary club was surrounded by the po­ lice and eighty armed officers In the building were arrested. Forty of the officers implicated have been sent to various provincial fort­ resses pending trial by court martial. The colonels of the Princes' and Queen's regiments have been relieved of their commands by royal decree. The origin of the trouble was the complaint against the system of ad­ vancement for army officers which was made upon the recommendation of person a of high > auk, among whom Pignatelli was the leader. The correspondent of the Tempo describes the situation in Madrid as critical. The cabinet is between two fires. On the one hand aire the Repub­ licans and Radicals who are attacking the army and at the same time charg­ ing Premier Moret with employing the methods of his predecessor; while on the other hand Is the army enraged at the campaign of the government against it There are rumors also of a Carllst uprising, and it Is understood that Don Jaime of Bourbon, the Spanish pre­ tender, 1s preparing to issue a man­ ifesto describing the ruin of Spain since the dethronement of his great grandfather, attacking the free-think­ ers and Protestants and urging a re­ vival of Catholic unity as the only means for Spanish regeneration.

Springfield. -- The senate adminis­ tered a sensationally unexpected de­ feat to the Dailey plurality primary bill, which had been apparently as­ sured of passage. Of 31 votes which had been count­ ed on. only 21 were oast for the bill when the roll was called on third read­ ing. Five Democrats and iive Repub­ licans, who are favorable to direct plu­ rality primaries, refused t» vote be­ cause amendments which they favored had been raveled down. The result of the roll call was 21 yeas, 1 nay, and 20 present btit not voting. Twenty-six affirmative votes were needed to pass the bill. Senator John Dailey saved the meas­ ure from final defeat by changing his vote from yea to nay, and giving no­ tice that next Tuesday he would move to reconsider. Friends of direct plu­ rality primaries are hopeful that by next week resentment of gavel rule will have been worn off, and that the bill will be reconsidered and will pass. This was the roll call as It stopd aft­ er Mr. Dailey had changed his vote: Yeas -- Andrus, Burton, EttelAon, Funk, Glackin, Hamilton, Hay, Kearn, Helm, Henson, Hurburgh, Jones, Juul, Landee, McKenzie, Manny, Olson, Fit­ ter, Schmitt, Stewart--?.o. Nays--Dailey, Heair--2.

The probability is that a measure In substance the same as the Dailey bi^l will be epacted. The hous* subcommittee of i§. to which all primary bills were refeired, has agreed on a bill which Is nearly Identical with the Dailey measure. The only difference Is a provision by which the names ol candidates are shifted in printing ballots so that each candldau for an office occupies first place in his cclunm oh an equal num­ ber of ballots. The Field museum bill was passed by the senate by a vote of 34 yeas to no nays and sent to the lower house for concurrent action. Under its terms 2,000x950 feet feet of submerged land east of Grant park and facing Con­ gress street is sought to be deeded to the trustees of the Field museum to be used as a site for the $8,000,000 memorial the late Marshall Field left to Chicago by his will. The senate also passed Charles F. Hurburgh's bill appropriating $50,000 for the Cherry relief fund. Expendl* ture of the money Is placed in the hands of the state board of adminis­ tration. of which L.tY. Sbennan Is president ^ ' The bill for a commission form of government, similar to that success­ fully employed in Des Moines, la., and Galveston, Tex., passed the senate by a vote of 37 to 1. Passage of the measure in the upper house brought Joy td the lobbyists from the group of cities down state that expect to avail themselves of the advantages. An appropriation of $10,000 which means much more than the small amount would suggest, passed the senate and if it weathers the storm in the house will enable the state rail­ road and warehouse commission to pursue its inquiry into alleged ex­ orbitant rates charged by the express companies doing business In Illinois.

"Fuel "Tests" "with House •. |tatfitf; Hollers," hy J, M.-"Snoagra##»"vis -the t!Ue of bulletin No. 31, Issued by the University of Illinois engineering ex­ periment station. The discussion cov­ ers tests made with anthracite, Poca­ hontas coal, coke and Illinois coal. The apparatus consisted of two com­ paratively small cast iron house heat­ ing boilers, ope a round boiler made Up of horiKuafju sections, the other rectangular ia shape, made up of ver­ tical sections. The tests were so con-' ducted that evaporative performance became the best basis for compari­ son. Considerable attention J# given to fuel the relative value of fuels. • • -* The efficiencies obtained varied from 44 per cent, to 66 per cent. Roughly speaking, the lowest effi­ ciencies were obtained, when burning Oe cheapest Illinois coal and the highest efficiencies when burning coke and anthracite. The results lead to the following conclusions: 1. The relatively low cost of Illinois coal, especially as compared with the eastern coals, will insure ttls con­ tinued use for domestic purposes, probably, in increasing quantities. 2. The low fuel cost of Illinois coal as compared with coke Is consider­ able and will insure the continued use of the raw coal until prices of the two fuels are more nearly equal. 3. Improvements tending toward re­ duction of smoke, dirt or other disad­ vantages connected with the burning o* cheaper fuel will, doubtless, also increase the efficiencies which may be obtained and make the fuel cost differences stllkntfre favorable to the lower grade fafel. 4. Biased nffon present prices of Illinois and considering evapo­ rative ^performance only, anthracite for yirfietance, Is worth only from tlrfee dollars to four dollars a ton. The additional amount which Is paid for It must be considered as expend­ ed for advantages possessed by the anthracite, such as cleanliness and of fire control. Food Tests Ars Glvl& . .-fi-rf. f c-'m - A method of detecting the presence of agar agar, the substance which Is used by bacteriologists as a medium In which to grow disease bacteria, and which is a great boon to Jelly manufacturers because of its power to turn 200 times lte owfc Volume into translucent jelly, is given In the hints to housekeepers published in the tenth annual report of^tl^ tylinols state food commission. , Agar agar, says the report, sticks to the glass and must be removed by scraping. The substance Itself is a seaweed. The food commissioner dis­ covered a y^ar ago that it was being used by manufacturers of jellies and jams, and afforded an Immense profit because It turns so much wkter into jelly. # Lemon and other extracts can be tested by mixing with water, accord­ ing to the hints. If they have the re­ quired amount of oil It will appear In the form of globules. Another test is that good extracts will burn. The spoon test Is recommended for butter. If a spoonful of good butter Is heated over a flame It foams free­ ly, but if it crackles like grease it Is oleomargarine or renovated butter.

C. Johnson, a na­ tional bank examiner. The bank did not open for business Monday and the following sign was posted on the front door of the bank: f "This bank is closed temporarily fcyoiSer of the directors, pending an examination of its affairs. It is the opinion of ihe uiieciojs that the de­ positors will be paid in full without loss. The affaire of the bank are now la the hands of J. C. Johnson, na­ tional bahk examiner." It Is understood the controller of the currency will not appoint a re­ ceiver for the bank at the present time. It is the opinion of the direc­ tors that the depositors will be paid In full, and It is believed the stock­ holders will be assessed to ^he full value of their stock. A leading banker of the city said he had been reliably Informed that the losses would wipe out the capital, surplus and undivided profits, which would make a loss of $267,000. The action taken by the directors is the result of an Investigation of the loans of the bank by the national bank examiner. Mr. Johnson refused to discuss the condition of the bank in detatil at this time, but desired to be quoted that he had examined all of the Evansville banks and with the ex­ ception of the Citizens' found them In excellent condition. The suspension of the Citizens' bank is due, it is said, to the discovery of bad loans of long standing and of such an amount as to seriously impair its capital. At this time no certain estimate of the loss can be made, as many of the loans now regarded as weak may be collected. It is stated that Capt. S. P. Gillett, president of the bank, was a borrower to the amount of $50,000, and that William L. Swormstedt, cashier, had paper up for $20,000. The legal limit to which a national bank officer can borrow from his bank Is ten per ceht. Capt. Gillett, however, It Is said, has made over his home property to the bank. > "Are there any fish In the lake lie re?" - " "I dunno!

Washington.--It was Chief Justice Fuller in person who Monday sent in the order that left only an appeal to the president between John R. Walsh, the former Chicago banker, and the Leavenworth penitentiary. It was merely the terse, formal or­ der that all the petitions for a writ of certiorari had been denied which set­ tled the banker's fate. No explanatory remarks of any kind accompanied it, for it is not the custom of the su­ preme court to tell why It denies such appeals. The country is expected to take it for granted that the reasons are sufficient. The order_of the court goes to the circuit court of appeals at Chicago, and as soon as it is entered a man­ date will be sent down to the district court, where Walsh was tried, and as soon as that is Issued the commitment of Walsh will issue, and unless there be an appeal to the president he will be sent at once to Leavenworth. The effect of the order entered was that the court declared that'Walsh liau had a fair and impartial trial, despite all his complaints of prejudice, the admis­ sion of improper evidence and the long briefs of Attorney John S.
