A Lawyer Found the Beneficiary of a Will Dead in a Patrol Wagen. Chicago, May 17.—A lawyer, who had come from Colorado, was hunt- ing for Henry Thale, yesterday, an ironworker who had been employed, on the new Western Electric building. The lawyer wanted to inform the ironworker that his uncle had died in Colorado, leaving him valued at $100,000. As the lawyer reached the building the mangled body of the benficiary was being tak- e@1 to the county morgue in a patrol wagon. Thale and W. C. Kestler, a fellow workman, had been a scaffold swung between wings of a building, seventy-five feet high. The men had just lifted a heavy piece of iron and were carrying their burden across a plank joining two of the swinging scaffolds when Thale lost his footing With a ery which caused Kestler to drop his end of the iron and catch the rope of the swaying platform, Thale plunged to his death, When the man’s body was picked up by the workmen life was extinct. As the mangled body was being lifted into a waiting patrol wagon a tall stranger pushed his way through the little knot of workmen. “Can any one tell meif Heury Thale works here?” he inquired. One of the workmen pointed to the partol wagon. “That's him,” he said. The stranger asked further ques- tions in order to be certain of Thale’s identity. Hethen told the workmen he had come to tell the workman of the fortune awaiting him. Thale had been employed on the building three weeks. He had relatives in Helena, Mont., and Johns- town Mo. A SAD an estate on AFFAIR. Little Son of Riley Crum Accidentally Shot at Nevada Post Bronaugh. The particulars of the sad accident at Bronaugh, Wednesday, tained this morning from Dr. G. C. Willison, who, as already stated, was alled there by a telegram. Wednesday, while T. A. Roberts, the hardware dealer, who was exam§ ining a target rifle in his store a shell which he did not know was in the gun exploded, the ball, a 32, striking the little 10-year-old son of Riley Crum, inflicting a probably fata] wound. The little fellow, who the doctor says was unusually bright and hand- some child, was standing upon a nail keg in the store at the time, watch- ing Mr. Roberts handle the gun. The ball entered the abdomen near the navel and lodged inside the body. Dr. Willison says an artery was cut and internal hemorrhage occasioned. He has little or no hope that the ehild will recover. The unfortunate affair was purely accidental, of course, but Mr. Roberts is well nigh crazed with sorrow. The little fellow’s parents may be easier imagined than described. was ob- Killed in a Department Store. New York, May 17.—Mary Branni- gan, a clerk in a department store at was shot and killed to-day in the store by Edward Hall. Hall made no attempt to escape. The police say Hall shot the girl because she re- fused to marry him. BARKER SAYS HIS PIECB. Middle-of-the-Roader Talks fer McKin- ley, Whem He Visits. Washington, May .17.—Wharton Barker, the nominee for president of the Cincinnati convention of the mid- dle-of-the-road populists, called on President McKinley to-day to pay his respects. These men have known each other ever since Mr. McKinley entered pub- lic life. Later on, Mr. Barker said to a representative of the associated press that his nomination at Cincin- nati makes the election of Mr. Bryan by the democrats impossible. “In the last presidential election,” he said, ‘Mr. Bryan received about 6,500,000 votes. Of this number at least 2,000,000 were populists. This year I will get 1,500,000, or possibly 1,750,000 of that number. This will eut Bryan’s vote to 5,000,000 or Where is he going to get the other votes necessary to elect him? It is estimated that Mr. McKinley re- ceived 1,500,000 votes from the dem- less. These to ocratic ranks four years ago. willnot ¢ this make up hi populist votes. If Gorman or man had been nominated by thedem- ocrate this year, he would carry New Yor ‘vy, Maryland and Del- aware in the east, not tocount doubt- ful states elsewhere. “The fight this year will not be made on the money question. Trans- portation. expansion and other live »to Bryan ¥ sloss of some other eastern New Jerse subjects will make up the issues.” KEEPING UP THE FIGHT. Filipinos Are Active and American Troops Are Heavy Losers. New York, May 17.—A Manilla let- tertothe Herald, dated February 10, says: About January 1, it was said that the armed and organized insurrection was practically at an end and that therefore the troops would have to deal only with guerrilla bands and outlaws. Yet inthe last forty days the American forces here have lost more men, more arms and more sup- plies in the so-called pacified districts than during any previous period of like length since the insurrection began. If this is what guerrilla warfare means then we will need more troops some day for the new method of fight- ing is proving more effective than any style that the insurgents have employed previously. Almost every day brings a report of some fresh am- buscade wherein small forces of our troops are attacked by a hundred or more Filipinos. Usually one or more of our men are killed and the rest are driven away by sheer force of num- bers. Then follows a punitive expe- dition, but these sorties seldom find a trace of the enemy. Invariably the insurgents know the exact strength of the force they are ambushing, for they usually lie in wait for small groups of ten or fifteen men, which they permit to ap- proach so close that their first volley kills or wounds most of them and leaves the rest utterly demoralized. Insurgents who live within our lines, who are Amigos in the day time ard enemies at night, have been particu- larly pernicious. It now unsafe, more than ever before, to move in small numbers, even in the districts which are presumably pacified by the presence of strong garrisons. The rank and file of the people in the towns are in full sympathy with these marauding raids, for they never render help by word or deed which will aid our troops in locating and whipping the guerrilla bands, al- though it is certain that they are always aware of the plans and pros- pective movements of these bands. Even to-day there is not a native in Manila friendly, though he may profess himself to be, who will breathe a word as to Aguinaldo’s where- abouts, yet there are doubtless thou- sands who know exactly where he is and many who doubtless are in con- stant communication with him. The list of our losses by bolomen and ambushes in the occupied dis. tricts since Jan. 1 is rather start- ling. A list which I have selected from the files of a daily paper. and doubtless far from complete, shows that about | forty men have been captured by the is Fighty-sixth street and Third avenue, | insurgents in the last forty days, and | tone. wounded, almost 100 rifles and a pe fallen into the enemy's hands. ORDER AGAINST THE WELTMER ee Delivery of Mail to “Magnetic Healers” Forbidden. Washington, D.C., May 15.—The | post office department has issued an | order forbidding the delivery of mail ;matter and the p»yment of money orders to the American School of Magnetic Healinz. S. A. Weltmer, president; J. H. Kelly, secretary, all of Nevada, Mo., for conducting through the mails a scheme for ob taining money by means of fraudu- lent pretences. The official order states: Under the name of the American School of Magnetic healing, S. A. Weltmer, president, and J. H.

In reality Prof. Weltmer was not in any with the patient or with his correspondents. and knew practically nothing of the business operations of the scheme. Wher he was followed up with encouraging letters, and advised that Prof. Welt- mer was sending his ‘‘extra strong” treatment daily. Five dollars was charged for thirty days’ treatment, and at the end of that time, unless a cure was reported, an additional $5 was called for as long as the patient would continue, with the announce- ment that the treatment would cease unless the remittance was for- warded. A person “afflicted with poverty” could obtain relief by sending $la month, for which Prof. *Weltmer would send his ‘“‘very best thoughts” to the patient at certain hours of the day, which would “‘lift him out of the throes of the poverty and despair. ORDER RECEIVED AT NEVADA. Nevada, Mo., May 15.—An order was received to-day by the Nevada post office to deliver no mail to the Weltmer Institute, but to return all mail to the senders. where the same bearsa direction for return. Mail bearing no return address will be sent to the dead letter office. The recent order of the department tohold mat- ter pending investigation’ led up to the present permanent order. Feel- ing here between the sympathizers of the institution and those who have led the fight against it is quite bitter. and to-day a couple of prominent ministers, Rev. H. R. Best of the First Baptist church, and Kev. Joseph King a leading Southern Methodist divine while passing the institute- were hissed by a crowd of students and employees. The future course of the management has not yet been made public, Mr. Weltmer being still in Washington, where he went to de- fend his case before the post office de- partment. wise brought into contact a patient became discouraged, As the Devil Would Do. The editor of the Atchison Champ- jon concluded he would have his pa- per run for a weekas the devil would runit and wrote to various promi- nent men over the state for their opinions as to how they thought his Satanic Majesty would handle the job. Among those who answered was ex-Governor John P. St. John, who said: “I have received yours of the 29th ult., asking meto give my opinion as to ‘How the devil would run a pa- per,’ and in reply tuereto I desire to congratulate you on your excellent judgment in selecting me to answer that question. for my familiarity with his Satanic Majesty enables me to impart to you alot of information that the ordinary, pious man knows but little about. “The first thing the devil would do} would be to write a salutatory.

St. Jonny.” lesson, DUEL IN KENTUCKY. Peacemaker and One Participant are Dangerously Wounded. Guthrie, Ky., May 17.—A shooting affair that may be termed a duel oc curred here last night at 11 o'clock between J. F. Hutcheson, editor o! the Guthrie, Graphic and H.5. De- vold, a jeweler. Some months ago hot words passed between them con- cerning an advertisement in Hutche- son's paper. Knives and pistols were drawn at that time, but per sons interfered and peace was restor- ed until a few days ago, when they met on the street. Hutcheson then cursed Devold and told him that he was ready for him. Mr. Devold’s re- ply was: “I am not ready for you: ] have no pistol. But I will be prepar ed for you when we meet again.” They met at Abshire’s saloon last night by agreement, and, after drink- ing to the health of each other, the quarrel was renewed. Hutcheson slapped Devold in_ the face. Devold drew his pistol and fired several times two balls entering Hutcheson’s lungs and one going under his left arm Hutcheson fired also, but missed Devold and struck Virgil Marshall. agent of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. The ball entered his left side and passed around toward the backbone. Marshall had entered the saloon to try to -prevent the shoot- ing. The injuries sustained by Hutche- son and Marshall are serious. and there is small hope ef recovery. They were moved to the office of Dr. Lester. and Dr. Sam Briggs of Nashville was telegraphed for immediately. He ar- rived this morning. and surgical op- erations of a dangerous nature were performed on both young men. De- vold was carried to Elkton for a pre- liminary trial and was released under guard until Monday. when he will stand trial for bond All the young men are of prominent families and are popularin social and business circles. other A servant tress. who is a that an uncle city was very si said: ‘He is not sick: he only thinks A few days later, in an- swer toan interrog of the mix tress as to the condition of the un- ks he rirl informed her mis- believer in Christai in a stant The mistress Bugle. would | , the protection of the American fleg HAVANA POSTMASTER UNDER ARREST.
