Stewart, a farmer living eight miles south of here, was cleared to-day by the confessions of his two little daughters, aged 11 and 13 years, that they committed the crime. The body of Stewart was found yes- | terday afternoon, the alarm being given by his daughters. He was lying | on a cot on the porch of his residence. The head had been severed from the body with a sharp ax. The girls claimed at first that they heard no noise during the night and that-.they dié not know who killed their father. Their bloody clothing caused suspicion to be pointed at them and as a result | of a sharp questioning they confessed. According to the story of the little | girls, their father was about to re- marry, their mother being dead. They objected to him bringing a stepmother | to their home. P | Two days later a letter came for him during his absence. It was from | the prospective stepmother and the | children destroyed it. Their father |learned of this and when he came | home Friday night he told his two lit- | tie girls that he was going to kill them |and that they must say their prayers. He did not carry out the threat and when he got to sleep the two girls got | the ax and chopped his head off. The crime has caused great excite- ment, as the murdered man was prominent in the community in which he lived. The two little girls are pretty and intelligent. —_—————————— MILLIONAIRE PUBLISHER WILL PROSECUTE GIRL David C. Cook of Elgin Says Interests of Community Demand Attempt at Blackmail Be Punished.

Nears When the Malady Will Be Fully Conquered i . Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—The day is not far off when antitoxin treatment will be employed as effectively in curing scar- let fever as it now is in the cure of | diphtheria.” | This prophecy was made last evening . | by Dr. Theodore Escherich, professor of | diseases of children' in the University of Vienna, and recognized as an author- | i ity on the subject. He was addressing £ an audience of Chicago physiclans nndf‘ | laymen in the first of a series of popu- lar science lectures planned to be given | weekly this autumn and winter. Dr. Escherich described the researches | which have been in progress during thel | last two years in Vienna to discover a | | cure for scarlet fever. Upon the results | | of more than 100 experiments with se- | rum taken from inoculated animals | the Austrian scientist based his claims | { for the antitoxin treatment. “It is not absolutely proved,” he said, | “that a cure has yet been found. The! | results of the experiments, however, | have been striking, and it has been | demonstrated beyond doubt that the | injection of inoculated serum into scar- let fever patients invariably checks the progress of the disease.” In cases where the disease had not progressed beyond the second day, Dr. Escherich declared, the antitoxin treat- ment had been entirely successful. In | some instances the fever had been re-! duced within four hours after the in- Jjection. : “The beneficial results of the anti-| toxin treatment also varied,” said Dr. Escherich, “with the period of the dis- ease at which the serum was injected. Those treated earlier responded more | readily. Out of fifteen cases treated on the first or second day no deaths re- | sulted. Three deaths out of fifteen re- sulted from the fourth-day treatment, and’ eight deaths out of fifteen from SON OF GREAT BISMARCK HAS PEACEFUL END —_— FRIEDERICHSRUHE, Ses. 8= Prince Herbert Bismarck died thjs morning at 10:15, q:q}ock_ The end yas painless. . Since he ceased to be Foreign Minis- ter on the retirement of his father in 1890 Prince Herbert Bismarck -had taken part in public affairs only as a member of the Reichstag! His attitude had been more of a man not appre- ciated by his sovereign and who was | waiting In the background for an op- portunity to resume his career. Poig His delivery as a Parliamentary | speaker improved year by year. He al- ways declined to join any political group, steadfastly catiing himself an independent. His haughty and impe- rious manner in early life, when he was gverconscious of the fact that he was the son of the most powerful | statesman in Europe, softened in later life. Prince Bismarck's father trained him for his successor as Chancellor of the German Empire and adyanced him rapidly in the diplomatic service, until at the age of 40 he-was Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which position he took part in nearly every important international transaction. An incident that nearly wrecked | Prince Herbert’s career and that caused the old Chancellor great an-| noyance was Prince (then Count) Her- bert's elopement with Princess Caro- | loath Beuthen, the wife of Prince Karl, | the head of that distinguished Silesian | house. The Princess was of the Hatz- | feldt family and young Bismarck at | that time was his father’s private sec- retary. Count Herbert lived with the Princess in Southern Italy for a few weeks, and then, at the command of his father, returned to Germany. The Princess was divorced, and has since died. . The title of Prince Bismarck and the large fortune of the deceased will go to his seven-year-old son, Dtto. The late Emperor Frederick gave to Chancellor Bismarck extensive forests at Friederichsruhe, which have since Increased in value, and the Chancellor gave to Prince Herbert $2,400,000 in se- | curities and cash. The estate is now | estimated to be worth $4,000,000, exclu- sive of the lands. | —_————— { OHIO PRIEST IS STRICKEN | WITH PARALYSIS AT ALTAR | Rev.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Back from their Buropean cruise and by way of Menemshe Bight, where, since their return, the ships have been engaged in | target work, the four battleships of | the North Atlantic fleet reached this port to-day-—the Kearsarge, the Ala- | bama, the Maine and the Missouri. The fleet: consists of the most powerful battleships afloat and withal the most | pretentious armada which this coun- | try has ever sent abroad: The other two battleships, the Illinois and the Iowa, are still on the target grounds, but are expected to arrive ;within a day or so. The fleet brought the story of a great cyclone encounmtered at sea. Early on Thursday morning, when the barometers gave warning of the ap-| proaching /storm, the fleet was well scattered along the south of the island, the Kearsayge (flagship), the battle- | ships Alabama, Texas and Maine and | the gunboat. Scorpion well together, | six miles to the eastward. | Along toward early daylight the flag- ship sent wireless messages to the fleet to get up steam and be ready to move at a moment’s warning. The Texas had her steam cutter low- ered and so heavy had been the groan- ing rollers—precursor of a storm—that it had been found impossible to hoist it. Captain Swinburne ordered that life lines be flung to the men in the boat and through a megaphone they | were ordered to tie the lines about| and one after another were hauled on board, a bit bruised and half drowned. | One of the Missouri’s men was swept | overboard from the forecastle. He was | ordinary seaman Cecil Clay Young. ! Life buoys were immediately thrown over, but the man, loaded down by his oilskins, was unable to reach the buoys, | which were rapidly drifting to leeward. Young ‘was a native of Marseilles, Ohio, where his father lives. A wire- less message announcing his death was | sent by Captain Cowles to the fleet. The hurricane is described by those | who went through it as the most vio- | lent they had ever encountered. A | mighty sea would smite one of the | heavy battleships and she would dis- appear to her funnel tops in spray, “shake the water out of her eyes,” as one expressed it, and take - another plunge. ———————— PLEADS FOR MAN WHO CRUELLY ABUSED HER Oregon Woman Tries to Secure Re- lease From Jail of Brutal Husband, ALBANY, Ore,, Sept. 18.—Suffering from a deep gash in her shoulder, in- flicted by her drunken husband in a ‘paroxysm of rage, Mrs. Harry Acker- man has been trying all day to secure the release of Ackerman, who was arrested on & charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

He is supposed to have fled yesterday, on the eve of his wedding to Mrs. H. Beaglehole, a well-to-do widow. With him he took more than $1000 belonging to the woman. He has gone east and it is reported a young lady from Carson City accompanied him. Lamb came here from Truckee sev- eral months ago, made the acquaint- ance of Mrs. Beaglehole and after promising to marry her, borrowed money from her. To-night, when she realized that she had been deserted, she fainted. It is not so much the money, she says, as it is the deception of Lamb. Mrs. Beaglehole is quite well known throughout California and Nevada. A few years ago she gained considerable notoriety by her actions regarding foundlings. A child she had in her possession was taken from her in Reno by California authorities because of the manner she is alleged to have treated it. ———— s HUSBAND TAUGHT HER TO SMOKE CIGARETTES Dubuque Society Woman’s Answer to Complaint in Divorce Proceedings.

Dr. | Staples, in his complaint, accused his | wife of cruel and inhuman treatment and.alleged that she was a cigarette “fiend,” and that by lying in bed until | noon, smoking cigarettes, she set a bad example for the children. Mrs. Staples asserts that she learned | the cigarette habits from her husband. When they visited fashionable cafes of Europe on their wedding tour they observed that most of the women smoked cigarettes, and at her hus- band’s request she acquired the habit. She alleges that it was customary thereafter for her husband and her- self to smoke cigarettes in their apart- ments, but claims she did not become so addicted to the habit that she might be called a cigarette “flend.” Mrs. Staples asks for $50,000 ali- mony and separate maintenance. She is a daughter of the late John T. Hancock, one of the wealthiest whole- sale grocers of Iowa.
