THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER than that of predlerving the pedee, which in #0 tlme was . Munger of fracture. When the polls opensd a line extending half & block outside of the house was formed This line was composed of voters of both factions and the greatest care was taken to see that no representative of the antl- Meteer people spoke to a single man In the line. Policeman Russell from time to time would call men known to be for Mer- cer out of the line and take them into the polling place through the back door, where they were permitted to vote ahead of those who had stocd in line for nearly an hour. ‘The antl-Mercer men protested against this for the reason that it was a question of time, it being Impossible to poll 1,000 votes auring the time the polls were opened. Rus- sell admitted that he had taken men Into the polling place through the back door, but sald that he had a right to do it. Later in the evening a member of the force gave bimself and the board away. A voter of the ward approached the polling place while the count was in progress and was stopped by the policemmn. He protested and asked €0 be admitted. The policeman was in doubt and said he would see about it. The “seeing about it" consisted in calling upon John N. Westberg, upon whose order the voter was admitted. Total vote cast H08 is about half the republican vote of the ward. The highest vote received by a Mercer delegate was, 489; the highest for a Pratt delegate 391. The highest vote for the McDonald ticket was 545, and for the Evans t'cket, 239; Biair beat Holmes out by a vote of 508 to 264 for the high man. W. W. Bastman was endorsed for assessor. Seventh Ward. n the Seventh -ward, where J. P. Breen lives and Mercer claims to reside, the non- redfdent’s votb.amore than doubled that of his opponent. Interest in the election ran aw high In this ‘ward, perhaps. as in any with the exception of the Fourth. Not un- il the last ballot of the congrensional con- test was coynted did the tense feeling which had” prevailed from the opening of the polls subside. The crowd lingered un til the Mercer-Breen vote was all in, but thefe was little to, attract after this. The remainder’ of ‘the ticket ran about the same. There was considerable animation over-the race hetween Thomas and Coch- Thn for mssessor, which was won by tho former, hands down. Eighth Ward. The vote In the Eighth was one of the largest, it not the largest, ever cast In that ward, and when the polls ‘were closed at 7 o'clock a line of voters numbering from fifty to seveniy-five had not yet been able to cast their ballots. The Mercer ticket was uniformly successful in this ward by a majority ranging in the neigh- borhood of fifty votes. The total vote cast was 384, and the straight anti-Mercer vote was 210 as compared with 254 In the contesting delegations for the congres- #lonal convention A. Brown led the antl- Mercer ticket with 267 votes and John B. Furay the Mercer ticket with 320 votes. Ninth Ward. No contest was made In the Ninth, where | but one ticket was in the field. So far as this part of the balloting was concerned the contest was decidedly tame. The' max- imum vote was 447. The contest for sen- atorship between M. A. Hall and W. A. Qardiser was & oné-stded affair, Hull win- ning it four to onme. For representatives B. M. Morsman, jr.. 1¢d with the highest vote and C. F. Robertson second, with Harry Fisher and H. P.

Enough Warships There. 1t is understood that there is no present Intention to order more warships to the isthmus, as the Navy department consid- ers the vessels alneady there or under or- ders ample to méet any emergency which may arise on the water. It was state@:in an authoritative quar- ter today that the information furnished by Commander McLean ;o the Navy de- partment plainly shows':that the naval force there is kept condtanily on ite guard to make good our treaty garantee of free transmission. 8o whatéver additional force is sent will co-operate with the marines already there and those eproute on Pan- ther in a close watch on the raflroad. Governor Salazar, who is the leading Co- lomblan government representative on the isthmus, Is barely 30 years of age. He attained his position through gallant con- duct during a slege of Panama several years ago. - Partly from bis youth and in- experlence he has embarrassed. the gov- efnment to some extent on several occa- sions, notably when, some months ago, he issued an order to censor all the official forelgn mail. By direction of his govern- ment he subsequently revoked the order. From Colon. COLO! Colombla, Sept. 19.—Several hundred government troops were brought out this morning and it was the intention of the authorities to have them take a train for Panama. The rallroad company declined to take the soldiers on placed a special train at their disposal Shortly after 8 o'clock elghty blue jackets from the United States cruiser Cincinnati, together with two guick-firing Colts, wers landed in Colon. This action is believed to be due to the receipt of creditable in- formation that a representative of the In- surgent Herrefa is at San Pablo, a station on the railgoad. . Under these circumstances the government decided not to entrain the troops for Panama; they will remain at Colon. 1p the meantime the ratiroad dispatched & special train-with definite Instructions frém Commandap.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.—The steamer City of Paris, which bas just arrived from Panama, had on board' Captain J. C. Moon of the British steamer Palena. The cap- tain is quoted as having said his vessel was stopped at sea by the Colombian rebel gun- boat Boyaca and searched, notwithstanding the captain’s protests. He will make a re- port of the matter to the British cousul. The rebels suspected that the British steamer was carrying arms from Valparaiso to the Colowblan government. STILL HUNTING FOR KELLY| 8t.

MAY SHUT OFF FOOD SUPPLY cordially Steike for Shorter Hours Likely to Close Down Minneapolis Mills, MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 19.—Three thou- sand mill workers wijl be represented next Sunday at a meeting in Alexander hall that will vote on a sition ta declare a strike, which, It d in effect, will tie up plants that praduce a large, part of the American flour Produgt. .The men do ot demand an increase of wages. Thelr principal grievance involves the length of thelr work day. The employes have mads repeated overtures for an eight-hour ar- rangement without avail. The negotfations have been in progress for more than six months, and throughout that time the Flour Milis Employes’ union has been rais, ing a strike fund. Now it is clalmed that sanction for a strike has been secured from the National Federation of Labor, with which the mill workers are afiliated. | The flour mills of this section’ usually de- vote the winter monthe to the grinding of the fall wheat crops, and a strike at this time would cause a serlous curtailment of next spring's food supply.

Eighth Street, Whe " er Clothing Been Found—Suspected Murderer Esen NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The mystery of | the murder of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer, whose nude body, was found in the Morris canal, the discovery that the woman was killed in a flat at 103 West Fifty-eighth street, where her clothing was found tonight. This nnouncement was made late tonight by Captain Titus of the detective bureau, who alleges that the murder was committed by a man named Hooper Young, who has re- cently been employed in a cheap restau- rant. Titus has learned that the woman's body was kept for some time under the sink In the kitchen of the flat in which she was killed. Young has mot been arrested and is belleved to have fled from the city. He 1s sald to have shipped a trunk to Chicago last night. He formerly worked for the Hoboken Crueader and the police found his picture taken with a group of employee. This picture was shown to the Hoboken liveryman, who at once picked out Young as the man who hired a buggy from him on Wednesday night. The house In which the woman's clothing was found is a cheap tencment in_a block containiog many stables, but {s within a stope's throw of some of the most splendid apartment houses in the vicinity of Central park wouth, i and Closely Questioned. The husband of the woman, a tailor of this city, was brought from Jersey City to police headquarters in this city yesterday, and after being closely questioned he was invited to remain at headquarters until the arrival of Captaln Titus, chief of detect- ives, this morning. Sergeant Phaler, in charge of the detect- ivo burcau, last night said that Pulitzer told the police that he was out at the primary elections on Tuesday night, and that when he got home he decided to have @ light repast and asked his wife to pre- pare some ¢ocoa. He discovered that there was none in the house and she went to get some, and #lso some bread and fruit. Ac- cording to the police, Pulitzer learned later that his wife had been to the bakery for the bread and there he lost trace of her. Sergeant Phaler added that Pulitzer had made a statement to the New York detect- ives which was considered 8o important that it would not be made public. Mrs. Eva Fleming, who keeps the board- ing house where the Pulitzers lived, at 160 West Forty-sixth street, said the couple had been living there about four weeks, that they were quiet and that she had seen Mrs. Pulitzer only two of three times and would not be able to recognize her Sho said Pulitzer told her théy had been mar- ried about five years. Ctories Are Somewhat Different. The story told by Mrs. Fleming about Mrs. Pulijzer going out for eatables on Tuesday fight differs somewhat from that i {he detective bireau. Accord- Fleming, Pulitzer told her after isappetirance and before it was been murdered that he had at about 11 o'clock Tuesday night feelifg eick and that his wife sug- gested ehe would get some frult for him. He told ber that the streets were crowded with men who had been attending the primaries and that it would mot be wise for her to go out. She disregarded his ad- vice, however, and, taking off some of her jewelry, went out for the fruit and that was the last he saw of her until he identi- fled her body at the Jersey City morgue. At the detective bureau this morning it was said that the central office had been notified by the Newark police to be on the outlook for a black runabout with eolid rub- ber tires and also for a small bay horse, both of which have been missing from the livery stable of a man named Mullins since yesterday merning. The men say that Pulitzer formerly had a business of his own, but gave it up and of late has been working at times for his brother, who has a tallor store in this city., The dead woman was a Dane. G. M. Pulitzer, a brother of Joseph, liv- ing at 11 Waverly Place, called at poll headquarters this morning and was clos eted with the detectives who are working on the case. When the brother left headquarters, he sald he had simply called to see Joseph Pulitzer and that he had no connection with the case. Captain Titus eald that murdered his wite'l known the murdered e ABOUT EYES, Glasses Are Not Always Necessary. Parents are often advised to get glasses for their children by the school authori- tles, who attribute the weak, watery con- dition of the eyes of the child to some de- fect In the vision and do not realize that the trouble may arise from the common practice of coffee drinking. A case in point, Mrs. C. E, Knapp of Elyria, O., says, “Six months ago we were | a tamily of invalids; my husband, myselt and two children were all affilcted with stomach trouble. I would get 50 falnt be- fore it was time for regular meals, and | after eating had paln and distress In the | stomach, which felt as though there was | & hard lump in there. T felt drowsy and stupld most of the time. If I was out in the wind my eyes would water so it hindered me from seeing. My son was the worst afficted. His eyes blurred so they hindered his' progress | in school and we thought it would be nec- | ry to have them treated. His teacher nally had him bring his reader homo with word that I have him read an hour each day out of school. [He could not read & paragraph without stopping to wipe hie eyes or close them. We were great coffev drinkers, especially my boy, but Dever thought that wi the cause of our trouble until I read an erticle on the subject in the Cleveland paper. We were discussing It at table one day and my daughter said, ‘I know it is coffes that hurts me, for when I do not drink it I do not have that lump in my stomach.’ My boy sald, ‘A lump s nothlhg, every time [ drink coffee my fingers prickle just as though they were asleep.’ I was both scared and astonished at such informa- tion and told them I had made the last cup of coffee I ever would for home use. I got & package of Postum Food Coffee and tried it for our mext meal and we soon learned to \ke it and think it better than coftee. We have none of us been troubled with our stomachs since we commenced to use it. Our ey do not water any more when in the wind, our cheeks and lips are red instead of blue or purple when we are out in the cold, the drowsy feeling has left and the prickly feeling has eu- tirely left my son. We use it twics a day and give it freely to my 20 months old babe. We find it better and cheaper than coffee. We cannot speak too highly of its merits, for we know we owe the change in bealth to Postum Cercal Food Coffee.” 20, 4902. woman's husband was in the hande of two detectives and that they would go over the ground thoroughly today. The captain sald he belleved that Pulitzer's story was the truth. Captaln Titus was asked what, it any, clues he had. He replied that the most im- portant clue he had at present Wae the fact that a man called at the house where the Pulitzers lived on Tuesday. He sald that detectives were now at work on that end. The theory of Chief of Police Murphy of Jersey City is that the woman was killed in New York and that the body was brought across the river on a ferryboat, and that it was taken to where it was found in a agon. The chief thinks that someone whe admired the woman killed her in a fit of jenlousy. He does not believe robbery was the motive. The twenty-pound weight which was at- tached to the strap that was fastened about the dead woman's waist was identified to- day as the property of Charles E. Evans, who keeps a stable in Hoboken. Mt. Evans says that early Wednesday evening a man entered the stable and sald he wanted a rig that was capable of carrying a large valise. A hitching strap and weight, which he asked for, were given to him. He dld not return the rig until 8 o'clock the next morning. Evans, the Hoboken liveryman, came to the detective bureau this afternoon, and after closely scrutinizing Joseph Pulitzer he positively declared that he was not the CRUSHED IV & PANIC (Continued from First Page.) the catastrophe. He lives within half a block of the church and hearing the com- motion went to ascertaln the trouble. As he reached the front of the church the crowd | began blocking the front of the church, and In describing it, he sald: “I have wit- nessed many appalling sights, but the wild scene at the head of these steps s beyond description. Wildly excited negroes rushed to the top of the steps and began falling beadlong down the incline. Others were pushed upon them and notwithstanding the warnings from the outside the crowd con- tinued to push. In a few minutes the men and women were piled on top of each other to the height of ten feet. Presently a negro woman with a baby in her arms mounted the mass and. climbing over the bodies, leaped to the ground without injury to her- self or the Infant. As quickly as possible a rescue party was organized, and as soon as the entrance was cleared began the re- moval of the bodies.” Rev. Dr. T. W. Walker, pastor of Shiloh church, said tonight: ‘“Shiloh church is & modern brick structure and has jnst been completed at a cost of $75,000. There are four entrances to the building and the main one is sixteen feet wide. The deaths were caused by everybody trying to rush out of the maln entrance at the same time. Inside the church not a bench was over- turned and all of those who were killed died fn or about the entrance. The people up near the front of the church were not in- jured in the least.” Major W. M. Drennan, said: “Most of those who wero killed are strangers, but their bodies will be cared for until identi- fled and claimed by relatives.” X Washington Tells of Stampede, Principal Booker T. Washington, when seen after the accident, at the residence of Dr. U. G. Mason, said: “I had Jjust finished delivering my lecture on ‘Industry,’ when some woman back of me was heard to scream. Some of the mem« bers of the choir ‘yelled ‘quiet,’ which the | gallery understood to be ‘fire.’ This was | repeated and started the stampede. I found on’ Investigation that a Birmiogham man had stepped on the toes of a delegate from Baltimore named Ballou. “Ballou resented it and made a motion as though to draw a gun. This caused the women to scream. There was little ex- cltement in the center and front of the church. The rear of the church was con- gested and some of the men tried to walk out on the heads of the crowd. At the time of the fright there were probably 3,000 in the church and probably that many out- side. The crowd on the sidewalk surged in and this in a measure accounted for the large loss of life. The majority of those killed were smothered to death, very few | having bones broken.

WELCOMES UNITED STATES INTERVENTION wever, Humorously Fact that This Country ind Plenty Things of the Kind to Do, Newspapers, Refer to May WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-So far only oue answer to the State department’s identical note concerning the Roumanian Jews, has come to hand. This was from Great Britain and consisted of brief aknowledgment with a promise to look into the subject matter, which promise appears to have been kept by the prompt iseue of an invitation by Great Britain to Germany to open negotia- tions on the subject. It is presumed that the other nationg will return their acknowl- edgments shortly. If they are all of the same mind as England, it may be that a conference will be called of representatives of the powers signatory. of the treaty of Ber- lln with the purpose of bringing pressure to bear on Roumania to live up to its ob- ligations under the treaty. LONDON, Sept. 19.—Secretary Hay's note 1o the powers Which were signatories of the Berlin treaty of 1878 on the subject of the treatment of the Jews in Roumania, which was received in London about a fortnight ago, was welcomed in Britieh official circles. The tone of the formal acknowledgemant of the receipt of the note here indicates British approval of American initiative in this matter and confirms the idea that Great Britain welcomes the continued inter- vention of the United States in affairs in which Europe is more directly concerned, in the belief that such intervention tends to Indirectly strengthen the hands of the Brit- ish government, Apart from this, the question of exclusion of pauper aliens from Great Britain ls growing more acute and anti-immigration laws .are demanded in many influential quarters. So far the government is In sympathy with Mr. Hay's protest, in the hope that the wholesale exportation of un- desirable emigrants from Europe may be checked. The mewspapers here continue to com- ment on the United States note. The St. James' Gazette, in a semi-humorous refer- ence to it, says: “The European govern- ments, to whom it was addressed, must have been unagreeably surprised, for the note furnished a fresh evidence of the growing disposition of the United States to take a seat in the orchestra of the Buropean concert, which some other per- former held with uneasiness.” Object of President Roonevelt. After declaring that it s dificult to un- derstand what President Roosevelt hopes to &2in by the appeal to the signatories of the Berlin treaty, the St. James' Gazette con- cludes that the chief American motive is humanity, and, says: “This indicates a spirit of knight-errantry which, however creditable to a great civilized power, is likely to give the Americans plenty of oe- cupation without increasing their popu- larity with the governments of the old world.” Mr. Hay's contrast of the enlightened system of America and the Iintolerant tyranny of the principalities of Europe is referred to by the St. James' Gazette as “‘not devoid of self-complacency” and as in- tended for the unification of mankind. The paper refers to Mr. Hay as an “American Hamlet,” who says: “Look on this pio- ture and then on that and consider whether old ‘Mother ' Europe should be ashamed of herseélr.” The British forefgn 6ffice this evening gave the ‘Associated Press the authority that his majesty's government had communicated with all the signatory powers of the Ber- lin treaty, with a view to developing their attitude and purpose in relation to the Rou- manian Jews, as called to the attention of the powers by Secretary Hay. This action of the British government has not reached the public here. Max Nordau Enthusiastic. PARIS, Sept. 19.—A representative of the Aseociated Press today interviewed Max Nordau, vice president of the colony of Zionists on Secretary Hay's Roumanian note. “It is magnificent,” sald Dr. Nordau. ‘“After a perlod of darkness, during which America seemed to be immersed in Mon- roeism and the furtherance of its own ma- teral interests, it has stepped forward and taken a glorious step in behalf of suffering humanity. It bas torn the mask from Eu- rope's face. Secretary Hay's circular com- pels the European powers who signed the treaty of Berlin to do their duty or stand convicted . of conniving at the extermina- tion of 250,000 of my brethren by the bar- barians of Roumania. The Roumanian government has heard the pernicious the- ory annunciated by the antisemites that we constitute a danger to a young nation and on the false pretext that Roumania is a young.nation, it has determined to rid the country of them. The Roumanian gov- ernment denied the Jews civil rights, It closed every channel whereby they could gain their livelibood and it condemned them to extermination by starvation or flight. Secretary Hay's note must bear fruit. Eu- rope must now:call to Roumania for the fulfiliment of its dutles and obligations or bear the open sham BOXERS ARE NOT BOXING YET British onts Get Near Enocugh Chinese to Make Them More Cautle PEKIN, Sept. 19.—The situation at Chen Tu, capital of S8ze Chuan province, and the woene of the recent Boxer activities, has improved.

His Lower Lim and He Dra Like a Snake, While the story of the wonderful recove ery of John Hunter in the little town of Chico, Cal, trom paralysis and locometof ataxia is still fresh in the mind of everyons, an account of another equally remarkable and somewhat similar case comes from Minnesota. 2 Near Northfield, Mion., lives P. A. O'Brien, known to everybody round about the town. In the fall of 1900 he W obliged to give up work, because of a dis- ease which one of the physiclans who at- tended him called locomotor ataxia and an- other paralysis. He suffered for more than three years and, for part of the time, lay in a barness by the doctor's direction. He grew worse and the physiciaps pronounced him incurable. But at last, like a miracle, camo his cure. Let him tell the story: “It had been coming on slowly for eight years," he says. “A cold pumbness come menced in my feet and worked upwards. It grew worse, and in November, 1900, I had to quit work. The disease bent me over, and, when I attempted to straighten up, It felt as if some one was eutting me in the pit of the stomach with a knife. [ always felt tired and could not rest at night, my feet felt as If there were needles sticking in them and my legs got go pumb that I could stick pins in them and never teel It. They would sbake so sometimes that I could.wot hold them still with both hands. “Then 1 got so that I couid not walk and I had to pull mysef around like a snake, When I got excited my heart would palp tate and 1 would choke up. My kidne: also became affected and caused me much pain.” J “Didn't asked. No. One of them had me on my béd in A barness for several months, but that did me no good. They tried varfous things and, at last, sald 1 could not be cured. “Yes, 1 fooléd them My sister saw in the paper how Mr. Peak of Milwaukee, Wis., had been cured of locomotor ataxia, and upon her advice 1 began taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for Pale Pedple. Tho first box stopped my pain 8o I could sleep good. It was a week before I could move my feet the least bit, buf from that on T gained pretty fast. I will never stop praising Dr. Willlams' Pik Pills, for they have made a new man of me." The cure of Mr. O'Brien is only additional proof that Dr. Willilams' Pink Pills are not an ordinary medicine. They are wonder- ful in their potency in nervous troubles, small or great, and, as they are on sale in every drug store throughout the country, they are within reach of all. Because they cured such a severe nervous disorder as that of Mr. O'Brien, proves the power of the remedy Io lesser troubles, such as sciatica, neuralgla. neérvous headache, St. Vitus' dance and nervous debility. Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills have a dou action—on the blood and on the nerves. I is not claimed that these pills are a cure- all, but the very nature of the remedy makes it eficaclous jn a wider range of diseases than any other. It is a sclentific prepara- tion designed to cure isease through a direct action on the blood and nerves. Im- poverished blood and badly fed nerves are the cause of nearly every ailment that af- tects mankind. If-the blopd fs kept pure, rich and red, and the nerves strong and active, disease cannot obtaln a foothold. BLUE RIBBON Beer gf fs without question the finest heer made.
