This was the fifth time burglars have entered this store. Ham­ mer ton & Dunseth employed William Mowi-ev as special watchman and had him sleep in their store. On a recent evening five strangers alighted from a freight train. They jvere supposed to be tramps, who had been put off the train. Petter was one of this number. At 2 o'clock in the morning Watchman Mow- rey was awakened by burglars trying to enter the front door. They broke the glass in»the door and Petter reached in and unlocked it. Mowrey shouted: "What do you want?" Petter raised his I?. hand and Mowrey, believing he was -js./-• about to eboot, fired at Fetter's head, kilting him instantly. The body fell back ||,"A into the street and his companions fled. |?f On Petter's body was found a discharge ̂ from the Thirty-ninth United States vol- z unteers, which shows that he was born 4 in Oakland, Cal„ and was 21 years old. * f*<t" He was a granite worker by trade. Confiding Widow la Robbed, ! Mrs. Mary Jane Colthar, aged 45 years, . of Banker Hill, whose husband died two years ago, leaving her a farm and $2,- 000, is penniless in Rochester, N. Y., hav- ing been robbed of $4,075 by a New York ; j confidence man. Mrs. Colthar a few f^ weeks ago began a correspondence with , , James Monroe. A few weeks later they :j|,«met in Indianapolis and the same after- ; '* noon were married. The following day •j they started for New York to witness the '"-V; Dewey day celebration. Before going, 'V * however, Mrs. Colthar placed a $2,000 ;,-"V mortgage on the farm and drew $2,100 L• from the bank. The couple arrived in - * "JRochester and Monroe prevailed upon . - his wife to lend him $4,075. He then 14^; started for New York and has not been i .s,. seen since. Mrs. Colthar received a let- / ter from him, saying he had been robbed and advising her to return to Bunker Hill. rv,, _ - Fend Ended by Mnrder. . A feud of several years' standing re- A»j • suited in the killing of J. T. Cook, a saloonkeeper at Pulaski, by Frank >Ioore, a general merchant of that place. Cook %r,\ called at Moore's store and said, "It , is vr about time our trouble is settled and it will be done to-day or one of us dies." yX\~ ^ *ew words followed, after which •V Moore drew a revolver and shot Cook twice in the breast, killing him instantly. Moore ran out of the store, got into a u , - :--i buggy and said he was going to Mound City to give himself up. He met an offl- " «tr at Villa liidge and surrendered. •M/ Three Killed on a Hand'Car. i " *J%ree men were killed on the Jackson- 4K' 1 an<* Railroad between j:*v ; " Barnet and Atwater.

George Cramer ril I aD(l Samuel Allen, members of a Quincy, itK *• • Carrollton and St. Louis section crew, , •>, were on their way on a handcar from Barnet to Atwater to secure the services T"' " of a physician. The men were in the fx employ of another road, but took chances in running over the Jacksonville and St. Louis Railway to fulfill their errand of "•i mercy, when they were run down by a •|| passenger engine. Bryant escaped by jumping. _____ l>octor Gets Prison Sentence* • ^ At* Peoria the jury returned a verdict gnilty in the Dr. Belle Howard mur- 1' t- der trial and the prisoner was sentenced t® seven years in the penitentiary. Dr. Howard was tried for performing an op- j/ . - %'t eration on Hnghetta Binkley of Dublin, * lad., whlo was employed as a stenogra- s -l pher in the Patee bicycle factory, from ' which the young woman died. Dr. How­ ard was captured on the Pacific coast af- *«,< ter & long chase. Fred Patee, president of the company employing Miss Binkley, . was sentenced to five years on a charge " { of being an accessory before the fact. «!$e p' : i IP® mf- « " si Kxpre»« Car ^tran|Eel7 Burned. A carload of express packages of the Wells-Fargo Express Company was burned near Bolton, on the Santa Fe road. The property contained in the car was destined for San Francisco, Sacra­ mento and other points in northern Cali­ fornia. The express company's estimate of the loss is from $15,000 to $20,000. The origin of the tire is a mystery. Noth­ ing was left of the car and its contents but 4he wheels, trucks and iron frames. Brief State Uappeninga, Three thugs attacked Harlan D. Cook on a street car at Ivinzie street and La- SaUe avenue, Chicago. Whale one chok­ ed him the others tore off Mr. Cook's overcoat and secured his pocketbook. It contained $18 and two drafts on New York for $50 each. The North American Accident Com­ pany has deposited $100,000 .with the State insurance department under the provisions of the new casualty Jaw to transact an accident and health" insur­ ance. This company is the first to or­ ganize under this law. The general of­ fices are to be located in Chicago. < At a meeting at which representatives of all the many fnrniture factories in m '•. ~Was organized, with P. A. Peterson as president, Herman Lind vice-president^ W. A. Brolin secretary and August Pet­ erson treasurer. The projectors of the combine deny that it is in any sense a trust, the companies not surrendering their individuality, but they say the aim is to render imi>ossible the price cutting that has proved so injurious to trade in former years, and so do away with the issuance of endless supplemental cata­ logues. Senator Mason announces he will re­ sign his seat and stand for re-election if the next Republican national convention does not repudiate the expansion idea. Fourth-class postmasters have been ap­ pointed in Illinois as follows: J. E. Whit- acre. Charter Grove; C. B. Rtrtledge, Marietta; C. J. Shepherd, Orleans, and D. L. Craifr, Stubblelield. The main buildings of the Riverside Goif Club, two miles west^of the Des- plaines rivpr, at Riverside, were burned. Three structures were destroyed, and tlie loss, fully covered by insurance, 1$ esti­ mated at $5,000. Lou R. Golden, assessor and treasurer of Menard County, died in Petersburg, aged 32 years. Leonard XlcWilliams of Stanford, aged 20 years, climbed a tre* to dislodge a squirrel, fell to the ground and was in­ stantly killed. Isham Randolph, ehief engineer of the drainage board, was struck by an engine in the yards of the Fort Wayne Railroad in Chicago and sustained a uumbcr of painful bruises and contusions. He was crossing the tracks in the yards between the river and Caaal street from an in­ spection of the by-pass work of the draln- . J>oard Van Jhtreiii itcrat ,«rlMa Tureman, Yirgtala, died, af«4 tip*. Tiro poorly dressed men were found dead in a room at the Hotel Gayror ia Chicago. The room was filled with gas from an open jet. Levi Peri?, committed suicide by hang­ ing .himself at his ' home in: Chicago. He wa« 75 years-old. and was- despondent because of his helpless condition. The miners employed by the Coneolidat- ed Coal Company at Mount Olive drfrw their pay the other day- and quit work because the company refused to increase the drivers' wages from $1.75 to $2 per day. Seven hundred men went out. Austin Wagner, a well-known farmer near Kempton, pumped up. a frog from his drive well 223 feet recently. He be^ iieves there is a strong underground stream which brought the frog from some open water to the bottom of the well. James Roth of Brim lie id, claims the distinction of having once switched Ms son, Charlie, and William McKinley who is now President, for placing hookey from school. He saw the-President at Peoria and reminded him of the whip­ ping. Rer. W. R. Andereck, who has beat pastor of the Waukegan Baptist Church for the past three years, has tendered his resignation. The act was brought about by the knowledge that there was some slight dissatisfaction with him among the church people. Robert Camdee of Evanston, a member of the freshmen class in the academic de­ partment, has been awarded the prize of $100 offered by the Princeton alumni of Chicago to the student from Illinois who passes the best entrance examination to the university. \ At Streator, G. Dwyer, taa|g»gent for Nelson Morris & Co. of Chi«goT was held up and robbed of $200 in cash and drafts for about $800, There were three of the robbers and they met him about tw6 miles out of the city as he was returning from a collecting tour. » S. O. Stillman and wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home in Galena. Fifty years ago they were married at Mendon, and three years later they went to Galena. Mr. Stillman is a director of the Merchants' National Bank and an elder in the South Presby­ terian Church. The lands committee of the State Board of Equalization made a classifica­ tion of the counties outside of Cook County. This classification runs from $3 to $16 per acre. The lowest assessor's valuation of land is $1.78 average in Hardin County and the highest is an av­ erage of $15.01 in Dupage County. The miners employed by the Canton Coal Company and Howat Brothers went out on a strike at Canton for an advance of from GO to 70 cents per ton. A com­ promise was effected and the miners re­ turned to work at 67% rants a ton. The operators recently increased the price of coal from 6 to 7 cents per bushel, and the miners considered that they were en­ titled to a portion of the 1 cent per bush­ el raise. The large elevated tank at Breese. used for fire protection, collapsed and thou- srnds of gallons of water were precipi­ tated nearly 100 feet without a second's warning. The engine house was demol­ ished, with the hose carts and other prop­ erty belonging to the Breese volunteer fire corps. There were no casualties. Two adjacent buildings were jarred from their foundations. The total loss will reach $3,000. The tank was erected about ten years ago. This accident was probably caused by the iron hoops becom­ ing detached. Three hundred grain men, representing every section of Illinois, attended the semi-annual meeting of the Illinois Grain Dealers' Association in Champaign. The most important resolution passed was one calling for the appointment of a commit­ tee of three to secure an attorney to rep­ resent every member of the association in all litigation with railroad and ter­ minal elevator men. It is believed that great relief from car famine can be se­ cured if the association pushes into court a few cases where the railroads have failed to furnish cars. For the first time ^n several years the coal miners and operators of tire Peoria district are harmonious. At a conference a final agreement was reached, and it is believed the good feeling will continue. The miners hinted that they would like to share in what are considered the large profits on account of the increased price for fuel, but the operators said that un­ der the Pittsburg agreement wages could not be increased. As a compromise the operators reduced the price of coal used by the miners in their homes. Mine rnn is now 85 cents and screened coal $1 a ton at the mine. The house rent'of the miners was also reduced. Peter Wildren of Virgil, while drunk attacked his two stepdaughters with a knife. While he was slashing the older girl, the younger picked up a hammer ami buried it in Wildre^'s skull, inflicting a serious wound and ending the battle. Wildren will recover. The Ed wards-Stan wood Shoe Com­ pany, composed of the employes of the Phelps, Dodge & Palmer Company, has been incorporated to continue the busi­ ness of the latter company, which will withdraw Jan. 1 after having been in business in Chicago thirty-six years. Coal operators and delegates from vari­ ous mining towns of northern Illinois held a joint meeting at Streator to con­ sider the demands of the miners for an increase in the mining scale, the demand being made on account of the general ad- A-ance in the price of coal by operators throughout the district during the last Rock ford were present the American As­ sociation of Cusewprk Manufactiirprw month. The minora eoirtcnded rhnf fhey ought to share in the advance and receive fin increase of 12 ccints a ton. The op­ erators refused to accede to the demand on the ground that the- existing scale with the miners is in force until April 1, 1900, and almost the entire output of the district has been contracted for during the same period at prices based on the present scale and established before the recent market advance. As the contract prices are binding the operators declared they could not change the prices or terms. On account of a diphtheria epidemic, the schools and churches at Bluffs are closed and all public gatherings are pro­ hibited. Capt. William M. Cotton. Galesburg, and Lieut. Lillie Rose Lemoine, Chicago, salvation army officials, were married be­ fore a large congregation in the Presby­ terian Church at Galesburg. At the University of Illinois 307 wom­ en are registered. 149 being in the library and arts department, thirty-mine in the school of music, forty-five in the library school and twenty-three in the college of science. In a den of rattlers in the rocky crev­ ices along Stony branch, Schuyler boun­ ty, it is claimed there is one rattlesnake that is fully seven feet long. A number of smaller ones have been killed this sea- Efforts of President H. R. Calef of the State board of arbitration to bring about an adjustment of the differences between the Decatur Coal Company and the min­ ers proved unavailing. The company de­ clined to consider any proposition involv­ ing a recognition of the union and that is the only point at issue. The mules have been brought out of the , mine and the mine is closed indefinitely. Jfcer hun­ dred men are on strike. 'i tiCFFRTES JWflWS THE FIGHT. Wis*' Over ffifcatrlMfcy in tbe Twenty fifth Bound on Points. , James J. Jeffries retained his title of heavyweight, champion of the world Fri­ day night at Coney Island, after one of the hardest battles ever fought by big men in this country. .Had the fight end­ ed with the twenty-first round Sharkey would have been given the decision. With the ending of the twenty-third round Siler Would have called it a draw. The last two rounds, however, were so far in favor of the champion that the result of the battle was apparent before the ref­ eree, Siler. declared Jeffries victor. Sharkey's tactics were very, very rough, and he clinched and brought his man's head into chancery a dozen times during the progress of the fight. He used the heel of the glove after every clinch, and in other ways transgressed the rales repeatedly. Jeffries did not fight in the form he displayed against Fitzsimmons. He was wild in the earlier stages of the contest. His defense, too, was weak. Sharkey landed left and right swings re­ peatedly where Fitssimmons had failed utterly. He bore in, under, over and through Jeffries' guard at times as though the latter had none. , It was an even match as to strength. The forcing was done by Sharkey, but [effective countering stood this off to no linconsiderable extent. The matter of vi­ tality did not figure as much under the heat as was anticipated. Siler and the seconds of the men suffered greatly from this, but the equatorial voyages of the sailor and the blasting furnaces experi­ ence of the boilermaker made both men practically immunes. It was an earnest fight all the way through. Siler's decision, while in accord with the opinions of the winners, and opposed in some quarters by the losers, is approv­ ed by the non-betting and neutral critics who saw the fight. INFLUX OF SP ANISH. Six Thonaand Have Arrived ia Cuba In Six Months. On the Spanish steamer Alfonso XIII., which arrived at Havana Thursday, there were 1,175 Spanish immigrants. During the last three months 6,000 Span­ iards have arrived there. It is said that the Madrid Government is assisting the people who wish to take up their resi­ dence in Cuba. Very few women are coming. Two problems are presented by this in­ flow. All the immigrants are poor, anil they come seeking work. They are dumped into the city, which is not yet oh its feet industrially, a»A many of them are having hard times. They herd to­ gether in such fashion that they increase the danger of the spread of fever. The Spanish merchants and societies are do­ ing everything possible to assist them. The main object is to get them into thfc country districts. BLUNDER OF THE BRITISH, . 1_ " f«r Ladysneith Defeat Divided and Carleton. experts are agreed Cadysmith was due blunders. G«n. White is blamed for Jjtot having provided means of keep­ ing hi touch with Col. Carleton's column and for not having made any effort to ex­ tricate the command from its untenable position. Col. Carleton is blamed for not having retired to Ladysmith imme­ diately after the loss of his artillery and ammunition through the stampede of his mules. In some quarters it is suggested that lite Cape boys who were di-iving the mules and whose loyalty has been under suspicion, caused the stampede in order to inelp the Boer cause. Gen. White, in giving details of the capture of his left wing, says: "The lost detachment under Col. Carleton started Sunday night to seize Nicholson Nek, thus turning the enemy's right. Oarleton got within two miles of Nicholson unmo­ lested, when suddenly boulders were roll­ ed from the hill and a few rifle shots were fired. This stampeded the mules drawing the ammunition and they disap­ peared in the direction of the enemy with practically all the gun equipment. Carle- ton then entrenched his forces on a neighboring hill. At 9:90 a. m.^Monday, the Boers attacked the British in heavy force. Their fire was searching and two companies of the Gloucester regiment were obliged to retire from their advanc­ ed position. The enemy then pressed in at close range and our,losses were num­ erous. At 3 p. m. our ammunition was practically exhausted. When the Boers stormed our position our survivors were captured. The failure of the column is due to stampeding of the mules." MILITARY BALLOONS. fkew and Wireless Telegraphy Are in Uae in Soatb Africa. The announcement that Gens. White and Hunter spent part of a day in a captive balloon at Ladysmith reconnoiter- ing the position of the Boers, and that they got back to the ground in safety, is in contrast with the news which came IFIOO PERISH AT CERALFC ; * Earthquake and Tidal Wave DevaS* tate Molucca Island. News is brought to Victoria, B. C., b§f the steamer Miowera of an appalling earthquake Oct. 10 in the southern por­ tion of the island of Ceram (or Sirang), one of the largest of the Molucca archi­ pelago, part of the Dutch possessions. It is second in size of the group, located between Borneo and Papua and north­ east of Amboyna. About 4,000 Malays and Papuans were killed. Avalanches of rocks, split from the mountain sides by the terrific concussion, rolled "down the range, burying many settlements, and en­ tombing some hundreds of Papuans Who inhabit the interior. Arms of the Boera. The forces of the South African Re­ public are armed with the sporting model jof the Mannlicher rifle, probably the most {deadly weapon of its weight and caliber in the world. The Mannlicher rifle weighs about eight pounds and its barrel is 30 inches in length. - Its caliber is .30. It has a killing range of 4,000 yards. At that distance a bullet will go through two inches of solid ash. The bullets used by the Boers are full-mantled, that is, entirely covered with ~ a thin coating of copper or nickel. If this bullet strikes at a range of 1,000 yards or under it will pierce a bone without splintering. At {longer ranges, however, it is apt to sprgfld, making a terrible wound. Harvard has a brass band and a rifle jelub. Plumbing is taught in the Boston Trades School. ' Pennsylvania has a new banking and business course. The class of 1903 at Harvard contains over 500 students. "Coeds" at the University of Wiscon­ sin wear short skirts. r The proportion of female to maUKteach- ers is increasing in England. Class crews and basket ball teams are being organized at Wellesley. * » The proportion of Latin students in ele­ mentary schools has increased. An astronomical observatory is to be built for the University of Maine. Eight thousand children in Philadelphia cannot find room in the public schools. Bowdoin's entering class of seventy is the largest in the history of the college. Hall, the new scientific school of Tufts College. Yale's divinity school has a decreased attendance, due to the raising of the standard. Edward Tuck of the class of '02 has given $300,000 to Dartmouth in memory of his father. Yale shows increases in the entering classes of scientific, academic and law departments. The National Association of Collegiate Alumnae will make' an exhibit at the Paris exposition. Graduates of .fifty years gathered re­ cently at an' alumni reunion of the Springfield (Mass.) High School. An attempt is beiug made to remove the rule providing that London Univer­ sity shall hold not more than $50,000 worth of property. Harvard University receives.a bequest of about $140,000 by the will of Dr. Calr vin Ellis, '46, which has been held in abeyance since his death in 1883, and has only recently been probated. The Rev. Dr. James Campbell of Hart­ ford, Conn., provides in his will for a gold medal to be given each year to the student who stands highest in the med­ ical department at Yale. Prof. W. L. Clark holds the record for a short-time professorship, having accept­ ed and resigned the chair of common and statute law in Washington and Lee Uni­ versity within six weeks. Among the smaller institutions Carle- ton College reports an increased attend­ ance compared with last year of 10 per cent; Colorado College, 12 per cent; Ohio Wesleyan. 5^ per cent; Pacific University, 10 per cent; and the Western Woman's College of Oxford, Ohio, 8 per cedfe ' U ALl.OOS IX <9 £ 8TEPHANIK.

It was taken in England and allows the bal­ loon in midair, with an officer making ob­ servations. - | CHURCH AND CLERGY. \ , . t * *»* . hp1 -a "Old Christ Church" (Philadelphia) is to have several costly memorial windows. Churches in White Plains, N. Y., are making a fight against opening the post- offlce on Sunday. Grace Episcopal Church, New York, has been forced to buy a neighboring si- loon to close it up. The Archbishop of Canterbury has made an appoal for the closing of London saloons on Sunday. The Rev. P. M. itcCabc. who was in­ strumental in ^liberating John Boyle O'Reilly when a political prisoner, i> il-rad. The Rev. Dr. L. D. Bevan, an Austra­ lian Congregations list traveling in Amer­ ica, says "revivals" are a detriment to re­ ligion. The Rev. Dr. John Brown of Bedford, England, is deliveriiyf the Lyman Beech- er lectures at Yale on the subject, "Puri­ tan Preaching." The Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman is act­ ing rabbi of the Temple Emanu-El in place of Rabbi Gottheil, whose resigna­ tion has been accepted. The Rev. Dr. Way land Hoyt of Phila­ delphia has decided to accept the call giv­ en him recently from the First Baptist Ohuich.of Cambridge, Mass. The Bishop of London is an expansion­ ist, and believes that the church, having created Christian civilization, must be the chief agent in spreading it. - J. Gordon Watt of Aberdeen, Scotland has succeeded the Rev. Dr. William Wright as editorial superintendent of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Rev. B. F. Hanckv of Brick Church, Philadelphia and F. H. Rich­ ards of Zamvsville, Ohio, are to go as Lutheran missionaries to Porto Rico. In Bishop McDonnell's charge on I<oug Island 400,000 members will spend the last four months of the year in prayer­ ful observance of the closing century. The Rev. Stopford Brooke's friends are .tising funds for a lectureship in English literature at University College, Oxford, to be called "Stopford Brooke Lecture­ ship." ^ New York Protestants have united for an interdenominational "revival," with the Rev. Drs. Hill is, Dixon, Adam, Beh- rends, Storrs, Chapman and Pierson as seakers. Practically all of the $57,000 recom­ mended by Indian Commissioner Jones toward national government support of Indian schools next year will of necessity go to I toman Catholics. The Rev. Robert H. Carson of Still­ water. N. Y., has been called to Grace Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn. The Presbyterian Board' of Foreign •Missions, beside canceling a debt of $•>(),- 000, has raised enough more to guaran­ tee support for sixty new missionaries. General Secretary Mills of the Method­ ist Twentieth Century fund says the Methodists Me paying less attention to theology and more to Christian work. Chicago Theological Seminary an­ nounces that aid will be granted this yeas only to college graduates whose standing is at least 75 per cent, and all students must be able to show certificrtes of gvod health. '" :r There is something of a parallel be­ tween the action of Admiral Dewey and that of Patrick Henry. The latter re­ fused both the State portfolio hi Washington's Cab­ inet and lie Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is true that these are not so great of­ fices as" that of I* resident, but -'Henry had only to raise his hand to take them. Presi- PATRICK HENRT. dent Washington wrote a letter to the Virginia statesman Oct. 9, 1795, in which'-'he offered him the State portfolio, but it was refused. Three months later Washington.tendered him the Chief Justiceship. But Henry preferred to remain in retirement.

Princess Stephanie was born May 21. 1864, and on May 10, 1881, she was married to Archduke Diede Riidolf., son of Emperor Francis Joseph, and heir to the imperial throne. When her husband died in January, 1889, the chance of the archduchess to be empress passed away and she has lived in quiet ever since. The future wife of Count Lonyay is 33 years old and quite pretty. When the English Parliament opened the other day a queer old cnsfc6m, which has come down since 1605, w/s observed -- as usyal. While V:1 Parliament waited "its ottycers searched ' the .Vaults below Parliament House ' for an imaginary '•'Guy Fawkes.
