By E. C, KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. Once more the odor of moth balls announces the approach of winter. A monument to Adam is proposed, to be built by chips of the old block. Even if David B. Hill had kissed a girl he is ‘too much of a gentleman to own up. The Boer irreconcilables, seem to be mainly the patriots who were not in the fighting. What a lot of could have saved if he had done. it a few weeks earlier. Mrs. Roosevelt refused to entertain the Grand Duke Boris. Perhaps she needed her slippers. Sir Wilfrid Laurier declined a peer- age. What an enigma he must be to William Waldorf Astor. A land trust is being organized in Ireland, probably for the better pro- tection of the old sod. Emperor William has 200 trunks out on the field. The horrors of mimic warfare are just awful. John S. Sargent, the portrait paint- er, is coming over here in October. Make your dates for sittings now. King Alfonso is right, however, about American girls being the smartest and handsomest in the world. Russia and Turkey are now having a dispute. It’s up to the sultan to make another neat little batch of promises. How many times did the girls say: “Speak for yourself, John!” at the reunion of John Alden’s descendants at Duxbury? When a doctor sues a dentist the long-su’/ering public, though it come not by its own, can afford to chuckle in its sleeve. Emperor William’s great naval vic- tory over the Haitian gunboat entitles him to admission to the ranks of the heroic sea dogs. Fourteen Indiana people have been upset by eating cookies, yet the western papers criticise the cheerful pie of Yankeeland. Grand Duke Boris drank wine from the slipper of a Chicago Cinderella. It is safe to say he did not empty the bucket at a draught. The indications are that the army and navy will have to go out in the alley after all to settle which really won in the sham fight. Prices for all the necessaries of life are going up. From Peoria comes the news that whisky has been ad- vanced a cent a gallon. Then, too, Bartholin may have been moved by the laudable desire to save the people of Illinois the trouble and expense of a murder trial. The deer hunters in the Adiron- dacks are engaged in their annual practice of shooting men by mistake, Moral: Don’t hunt deer in the Adir- ondacks. King Alfonso’s announcement that he will marry a millionairess instead of a princess leads to the belief that the young man is not much of a lup- atic after all. A leading financial writer estimates Senator Clark’s nest egg at $25,000,- 000. Mr. Clark is one of the men who will receive circulars this winter about hard coal. There are more than 4,000 million- aires in this country, but only a few of them succeed in getting their names in the papers with any de gree of regularity. Congressman Galusha A. Grow, who has just celebrated his eightieth birth- day aniversary, has declined a renom- ination. Probably he wants to get into some regular business while he is in his prime. Before a wedding. could proceed down in Kentucky the groom had to throw two brothers of the bride out of the church window. Here is one woman at least who may be sure of a proteeting hand. A Philadelphia man who has been courting a woman for twenty-one years has finally won her by whistling “Darlmg, | Am Growing Old.” A girl in another town would have de- manded that he grow young. It must be admitted, however, that the people who insist on returning to Martinique deserve fully as much sympathy as the man who comes to grief hunting for the North Pole. King Alfonso says he is going to marry the girl he wants. That’s right; speak up, Alfey, and if she says no hit her a good slap on the wrist. Holmes says “wisdom is the ab- stract of the past, but beauty is a promise of the future.” In. other words, beauty is a promissory note, The Herald-Review. ZOLA FOUND DEAD trouble Bartholin DISTINGUISHED ‘FRENCH AUTHOR , A VICTIM OF ASPHYXIA- “ TION. FUMES FROM DEFECTIVE STOVE MME. ZOLA FOUND UNCONSCIOUS BUT WILL PROBABLY RECOVER. SERVANTS BREAK INTO ROOM FIND BODY OF ZOLA ON FLOOR WHEN HE'’TRIED TO REACH WINDOW. Paris, Seot. 31. — Emile Zola, the novelist who gained additional prom- inence in recent years because of his defense of the Jews and of Former Captain Dreyfus, was found dead in his Paris house yesterday morring. Asphyxiation resulting from the fumes from a stove in his bedroom is given as the cause of death. M. Zola and his wife retired at 10 o’clock Sunday night. Madame Zola was seriously ill when the room was broken into yesterday morning. At about noon she was removed to a pri- vate hospital, where she recovered consciousness for a short time and was able briefly to explain to a magis- trate what had happened. M. and Mme. Zola returned to Paris from their country house at Medan Sun- day. Owing to a sudden spell of cold weather the heating stove in their bed- room was ordered to be lighted. The Stove Burned Badly and the pipes of the stove are said to have been out of order. To the magistrate Mme. Zola ex- plained that she woke early in the morning with a splitting headache. She awakened her husband and asked him to open a window. She saw him rise and attempt to move toward a window, but he staggered and fell to the floor unconscious. Mme. Zola fainted at the same moment aud was, therefore, unable to give the alarm. Mme. Zola does not yet know of her husband's death, and it is feared she may suffer a relapse when informed cf it. It is now thought, however, that she will recover. The death of M. Zola, which became generally known only late in :he after- noon, has caused a great sensation in Paris, The servants of the Zola household, not hearing any movement in’ their master’s apartment yesterday morn- ing, Entered the Bedroom at 9:30 o’clock and found M. Zola lyiag with his head and shoulders on the floor and his legs on the bed. Doctors were summoned, but they failed to re- suscitate him. Mme. Zola was unconscious but aft- er prolonged efforts on the part of the physicians she showed signs of life, but it was some time before she be- came conscious. A slight odor of carbonic gas was noticed when the servants broke into the bedroom. From the position of M. Zola’s body it was evident that he had tried to rise, but had been overcome by the fumes from the defactive stove, The servants immediately opened the bedroom windows aud sent for physi- cians. A commissary of police was also summoned. It was reported here juring the day that there were evidences of suicide in the death of M. Zola. Nothing has so far developed to substantiate this theory, and the statement made by Mme. Zola to the magistrate seems to disprove it. WARLIKE OUTLOOK. Revolutionary Movement Is Rapidly Spreading in Macedonia. Constantinople, Sept. 31.—The situa- tion in Macedonia and Albania is be- coming serious. The revolutionary movement is rapidly spreading. Thirty-eight battalions of militia re- serves have been called to the colors and distributed fourteen at Salonica, twelve at Monastir and twelve at Usukb to cope with the revolutionists. The organ of the Macedonian rey- olutionary committee in Sofia an- nounces to-day the outbreak of an in- surrection in Macedonia under the leadership of Jankoff, a former Bul- garian colonel, who has at his disposal over three thousand combatants who have been divided into several bands. A provisional government has been formed, which is directing the opera- tions of the insurgents in the district of Kastoria, Vodena, Guevuelli and Neglena. : Railroads and telegraphic communi- cation has been interrupted in several places. The journal calls upon the Macedonian emigrants to hasten to the assistance of their brethren. Fighting between Turkish regulars and Albanians is reported from Mitro- vitza, European Turkey. The Turkish forces shelled and reduced to ashes the Albanian villages of Koprin and Babronitch. Albanians at Mitrovitza have recently most bitterly objected to appointment of a Russian consul there, and this opposition has led to clashes with Turkish troops. WAY OPENED BY KAISER. Advancement of Soldiers in the Ger- man Army Is Made Possible. Berlin, Sept. 31—EHmperer Will- iam’s new articles of war tell to the soldiers that the path to the highest military ranks is open to ability and knowledge. There has been, up to the present time, no instance in the Prus- sian army of a common soldier rising to bigh command, while the large sec- tion of recruits, which consists of educated Jews, find it impossible to obtain any commissions at all. i LEAVE DEAD UNBURIED.

RESTS WITH THE JURY. SWEPT BY RABIES PLAGUE OF HYDROPHOBIA PASSES LIKE A WAVE OVER WISCONSIN. Trial of Col. Ames ts Concluded at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Oct. 1.—Col. Fred W. Ames and wife were members of a lit- tle group of very anxious people who sat in Judge Brooks’ court room for several hours last evening awaiting the decision of the jury that is to de- termine the question: “Did Ames, when superintendent of police, get $15 from Adie Mills in return for protec- tion for her and her disreputable place?” With Col. and Mrs. Ames were the defendant’s counsel, Victor J. Welch and Frank A. Hubaschek. The attorneys during the earlier hours of the evening seemed to think there MANY , PERSONS ARE. BITTEN HORSES, CATTLE AND SWINE IN GREAT NUMBERS ALSO VICTIMS. .| could be nothing but acgnittal for their TU IN YEARS CLEVEREST NOTHING LIKE IT SINCE THE DAYS OF HUTCHINSON AND PARTRIDGE. Chicago, Oct. 1.—While cash wheat went soaring to 95 cents a bushel on the board of trade yesterday a suit for an injunction was filed against the poard of trade, Armour & Co. and J. J. Townsend, a broker. The suit was filed by H. W. Wells, who alleges that he ordered Townsend to sell 25,000 bushels of wheat in Au- gust for September delivery, and that, owing to the corner in September wheat, now being carried on by Ar- mour & Co., and because the managers of the corner have, or control, all the wheat in Chicago and Milwaukee, and all the wheat contracted for delivery during September, he is unable to pur- chase any to fill his contracts.” He alleges that owing to the corner a fabulous price is maintained. The pill alleges that Wells has placed with Townsend, bis broker, $3,000 as mar- gins, which amount Townsend has de- posited in a marginal bank according to the rules of the board of trade. The rise in price yesterday marked the close of a Gigantic “Spread” which the Armour Grain company, through its lieutenants, A. J. Valentine and George Macy, has been operating for several months. The deal is re- garded by traders as one of the clever- est turns made in the local grain mar- ket since the days of Hutchinson, Partridge and other old-time specu- lators. It is estimated that the Armour ope- rations at the most involved a “spread” (the concern had September bought and December sold) of 15,000,- 000 bushels, on which the average profit has been 10 cents a bushel, or a total of $1,500,000. Unlike most of the recent deals on ’change, the Armour wheat transac- tions have not come in for much prom- inence. Cautious lest the recent de- cisions of the court prohibiting “cor- ners” would result in some of the dis- gruntled shorts resorting to injunc- tions, thus tying the deal up, those who have managed the “spread” have avoided as far as possible anything of a spectacular performance. Armour has left it to the shorts to bid the price up. Wrenn was the big- gest buyer in the pit yesterday, tak- ing about 150,000 bushels of Septem- ber at prices ranging from 88 cents to 90 cents. After a dip to 93 cents the close was 85. It is estimated that 1,000,000 bush- els were traded in. FATALLY HURT ON GRIDIRON. South Dakota Football Player Dying \ at Vermillion. Vermillion, S.

Milwaukee, Oct. 1. — Hydrophobia, like a wave, is sweeping over Wiscon- sin. Cases have appeared in dozens of places and in nearly every instance one or two or more persons have been bitten. This is not the worst aspect of the matter. The mad dogs are biting horses, cattle and swine, until the do- mestic animals are dying of rabies. The state authorities have been ap- pealed to to aid in stamping out the infection, but every resource of the doctors seems to be of no avail. A mad dog which has bitten half a dozen people and at least fifty dogs, and is still at large, has caused a reign of terror at Hartford. Searcning parties have been organized and are scouring the town in search of the- animal, while persons who have the temerity to venture upon the street are all armed. It is thought that most of the dogs in the city have been bitten and any number has been shot as a meas- ure of precaution. His first victim was Ransom Amidon, a boy thirteen years old, the son of a leading jeweler. The dog attacked the boy on the street and lacerated his leg severely. The dog also bit four other children, among them two little girls of the Joss fam- ily who were playing in the front yard at their home when the animal leaped the fence, and before they could es- cape bit them both severely. Anton Oestrischer was also bitten. For three weeks residents of Heinze to F’yht Clark Politics With Weapons of Law. Butte, Mont., Oct. 1. — F.

After much discussion a committee of five were appointed as a conference committee to meet the representatives of the Populist and Labor parties and agree upon a can- didate for the associate judgeship of the state supreme court. It is this of- fice, it is alleged by the Clarak or reg- ular Democracy, Heinze is) battling for. RIDES A WILD MOOSE. Timber Cruiser Finds Himself on the Beast’s Back and It Tears Away. Duluth, Minn., Oct. 1—John Gunn, a timber explorer who has just re- turhed from White Birch lake, this county, says he had a wild ride Sept. 23 on a bull moose. The moose did not see Gunn nor did Gunn see the moose until they were side by side. Gunn thought he was attacked and grabbed the moose by the antlers with his left hand and threw his right arm over the animal’s neck to prevent him swinging around to charge. The moose landed him on his back in some way and rushed madly through the woods. Gunn at last fell off, but not until he was carried the better part of a mile. stant fear and excitement over what is unmistakably hydrophobia. A dog owned by Herman Winine, a farmer, was attacked with what ap- peared to be rabies. The animal bit Mr. Winine’s mother and then at- tacked the stock on the farm, which, after being bitten, showed signs of hydrophobia. Mrs. Winine was taken ill. Later Mr. Winine’s son Chester was bitten by a horse. Winine has a large herd of cattle and a great many horses. Three head of cattle have died and several others are sick. He has been obliged to shoot two of his horses which were bitten by the dog and showed signs of the disease. These are only a few cases, but nearly all the cities of the state are having similar trouble. WOMAN WAS INSANE. She Killed Her Baby With Carbolic Acid. Dubuaue, Iowa, Oct. 1. — The coro- ner’s jury investigating into the cause of the death of Patrick Liddy, the three-weeks-old child of Delia Liddy, decided that the murder was com- mitted by the mother of the infant while suffering under a fit of tem- porary insanity. Miss Liddy still maintains silence as to the father of the child. Her uncle, Frank Liddy, who lives in Elkader, although sent for, has not appeared in Dubuque to assist his relative.. The cold-blooded- ness of the deed — administering a dose of carbolic acid to the infant— shocked the people of this community. SHERIFF KNOCKED OUT. Waylaid and Assaulted by Unknown Enemy.
