PRINCIPALS IN A PRETTY WEDDING CEREMONY AT THE CAPITAL CITY. NS A DEA JAN'S CHLDREN WARGHIP SINKS PIRATE JUNKG Iowa Oitizen Is Taken|Chinese Vessel Destroys From a Train in Idaho. Sensation Follows Killing of Judge Brady by Insane Assassin. . P O Special Dispatch to The Call. SPOKANE, July 17.—Judge James C. Brady of Kooterial County, Idaho, died from the effects of an assassin’s bullet ata local hospital at 6 o’clock this morning. His body was hardly cold in death before his two children had been abducted and were being hurried East on a Northern Pacific train by their uncle, Frank Pine ot Keswick, lowa. Father Purcell, a Cathollc priest and friend of the Judge, whom the latter with his dying breath had made guardian of the children, swore out a warrant. The train was stopped at Sand Point, Idaho, and the uncle and chil- dren were taken into custody by the con- stable. Idaho courts will be appealed to to decide which shall be guardian of the children. Tho decision will determine also whetter the orphans shall be brought up in_the Catholic or Methodist faith. Judge Brady while in his office in Rathdrum, Idaho, on the night of July 5 was shot by Henry Wilmbusse. Wilm- busse is a German whom the Judge had committed to an insane asylum and who escaped. He fired once, the bullet pene- trating under the Judge's right eye and fracturing the skull at_ the base of the brain. Wilmbusse fled, but was captured in this city a few days ago by a police- man after a fight. Two loaded revolvers were found on the prisoner. Judge Brady was formerly a Catholic. He married & Methodist lady, who died here two years ago. “The éhildren are a girl aged 7 and a boy aged 5. After the Judge was wounded and was dylng he Wwent back to the Catholic faith. Despite the objections of their uncle the Judge had the children brought to his deathbed and baptized by -Father Purcell. Then he commended the children to the priest's care, nominated another friend to be ex- ecutor of his estate and passed away. The grandfather and the priest started to-day on the east-bound train for the family home at Rathdrum with the chil- dren.” The uncle accompanied them. He took possession of the little ones when the others alighted at the station and contin- ued the journey. The swearing out of a complaint and wiring ahead for the arrest quickly followed. Mr. Pine savs that when Mrs. Brady lay dying the Judge, her husband, promised tuat the two cnildren should be reared in the Methodist faith. He contends that under this promise he was justified in at- tempting to carry out his dead sister's wish with respect to her bables, even if it were necessary to abduct them. Judge Brady was one of the prominent Democrats of Idaho, of which State he had been a resident thirteen years. He was serving a second term as Probate Judge and was editor and owner of the Silver Blade, the officlal paper of Koote- nai County. UNCLE SAM WILL GET NAVAL STATION BY LAW Government Begins Suit in Hawaiian Court to Condemn Land at Pearl Harbor. HONOLULU, H. T., July 10.—The United States Government has begun suit in the District Court of Hawail to con- demn about 800 acres of land at Pearl harbor, needed for a naval station. The sult is the first definite step taken here by the Federal Government looking to the establishment of the proposed sta- tion. The complaint filed sets forth that the Government has been unable to se- cure from the owners of the property quotations of prices at which they were willing to sell, and that the land in ques- tion is necessary for the carrving out of the plans of the Government. The sum of $16,800 is named as a fair price for the land wanted. L VOLCANO UNDER SEA HURLS UP PUMICE STONE Phenomenon Off the Coast of Hawaii Interests the People of Honolulu. HONOLULU, H. T., July 9.—A volcano under the sea at Hawali is indicated by a recent phenomenon at Healakekua. Large quantities of pumice stone suddenly ap- peared on the surface of the water, and they are supposed to have come from some subterranean discharge from the volcanic depths. The water for many miles wa$ strewn with the stone. This is thought to have some connection with the recent signs of activity of the volcano Kilauea.

Fleet of Sixteen Sail Boats. Annihilates the Crews, and Those Taken Prisoner Are Decapitated. - MR Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER. B. C., July 17.—Sixteen pirate junks, returning from a buccaneer- ing expedition in a thickly populated set- tlement on the coast just north of Shang- | hal, were rammed or blown up by the Chirese man-of-war Chintal three weeks ago. News of the big sea flght was brought to-day by the Empress of India, whose passengers say it was the bloodiest punishment that has been meted to the pirates during recent years. The Chintal had been chasing the pi- rates for two days. She could easily have come up with them at any time, but waited for the favorable opportunity that came early on the morning of June 25. One fleet of ten junks parted company witn the others during the night, but it, too, was being chased at last account, and its destruction seemed certain. The Chintal came up with the main body of junks at 4 o’clock in the morn- ing, and, as the haze disappeared, the Junks tried to make sail and scatter out in flight. The warship was in such a po- sition that she could use her heavy broadside guns and the artillery that points directly over her bow. One by one the junks were dismasted, and the shrieks of wounded and dying men mingled with the roar of the guns. Three junks were sunk almost with the first shots, and the bodies of dozen of the pirates who had jumped overboard in a vain endeavor to escape death dotted the sea. Solid shot ripped the junks from end to end, and assisted in the annihilation of the crews. The decks were slippery with blood even before boarding parties were sent out from the warship to complete the work. Two of the junks attempted to rescue the leader of the pirates, who had been thrown overboard, but was uninjured. No sooner was he on deck than the two junks were locked together with grap- pling irons and anchors and a last stand was made there. Two boats’ crews from the warship came up and with their rifies and a machine gun stripped the decks of every living man. Then, junk by junk, the warship’s men boarded the craft and put to death with their swords and revolvers those who still remained alive. By 10 o'clock in the morning the warship sailed away with not a single living man left behind and only the burning wrecks of the fast-sailing boats of the pirates marked the scene of the battle. 2 The few prisoners who were taken were executed on board the warship the fol- lowing morning. They were lined up in a row and decapitated. @ il il @ FEARFUL EXPLOSION OF MILITARY BALLOON One Person Killed and Forty Badly Injured on an Island. - ST.

A A W Business fo Escape the Miseries of This Periodi- cal Catarrh. : Were you ever at the station of a hay-fever fesort during the latter weeks of August? Oh, the panting, weeping, snuffling, sneez- ing, coughing, husky-vciced throng! Disgusted with themselves, compelled to drop every interest and take an expensive journey to get relief from a most exasperating and misery-engendering malady. A dejected, listless, disgruntled crowd. Just listen to their tales of woe. Says one, between sneezes, “I don’t see how my business can spare me, but with this I was worse than useless there.” Another wails: “I could have had a desirable school at a good salary but the term begins the first week of Septem- bgr and there I would be unable to do more than attend to my nose till after a heavy frost.” Another: “This is the harvest time for my business d hirelings won’t half gather it in.” Another: “I had to run away from a dangerously ill child I should have nursed, but, in my condition I was a disturbing element instead of a factor for com- fort in the sick room.” And like complaints; not one out for fun, not one happy in the enforced exile; just prisoners to locality, waiting for news of a frost. If these peopls early in the season had purchased Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, which are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box, and taken them faithfully so as to get their systems thoroughly under their influence, they would have been rendered immune to the excit- ants of autumnal catarrh, the plant dust that has no unpleasant effect on const.itutionnlly perfect people. They could have attended to their duties or their pleasures and been spared an expensive journey and enforced exile.
