South McAlester.-J. J. McAlester, president of the American National bank of this city, was swindled into paying $10,000 in cash for a worthless brick.

Madison, Wis.-Taking issue with President Roosevelt on the desirability of raising large falmies, Professor Edward A. Ross, head of the sociology department of the Wisconsin state university, yesterday told his class that "restriction in the birth rate is a movement which at the bottom is salutary, that evils in its train appear to be minor, or transient, or self-limiting, or curable." Professor Ross is himself the father of three children. After declaring that restriction in the birth rate was salutary, Professor Ross, anticipating widespread opposition to such an assertion, added: "I take my stand with those who hate famine, war, saber-toothed competition, class antagonism, degradation of the masses, wasting of children, dwarfing of women and cheapening of men." "Shall we live to see a mother of more than three regarded as a public benefactor and placed on the payroll of the state?" SAY CAPTAIN KILLED ENGINEER. Witnesses Allege Klingenberg's Crime Was Cilled Blooded. San Francisco—Captain C. J. Klingenberg, indicted by the federal grand jury for the murder of J. D. Paul, chief engineer of the schooner Olga, and who was captured at Nome early this month by United States Marshal Powell, arrived this afternoon and was placed in the city prison. The indictment charges Klingenberg with having shot and killed Paul while the latter was lying in his bunk on board the Olga on October 16, 1905. Frank Miller, Frank Carlson and George Johnson, principal witnesses for the government, are detained in the Alameda county jail. According to the statement of these witnesses to Assistant United States Attorney Ben L. McKinley, the crime was cold blooded. Johnson is a negro and was steward of the Olga at the time of the killing. Klingenberg will be tried for murder in the United States circuit court in this city.

GREAT TRIAL ENDED HAYWOOD, OEFENDANT, FREED BY JURY AT BOISE. Jurymen Explain That Evidence Failed to Convict Them Haywood Conspired to Kill Steunenberg—Climax of the Famous Trial—Verdict Was Expected by Many. Boise, Idaho, July 30.—Into the bright sunlight of a beautiful Sabbath morning into the stillness of a city drowsy with the lazy slumber of a summer Sunday, William D. Haywood, the defendant in one of the most noted trials involving conspiracy and murder that the country has ever known, walked today a free man, acquitted of the murder of former Governor Frank Steunenberg. The probability of a verdict of acquittal in the case of the secretary, treasurer and acknowledged leader of the Western Federation of Minnesota had been freely predicted since Saturday, when Judge Fremont Wood read his charge, which was regarded as strongly favoring the defense in its interpretation of the laws of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence and the corroboration of an accomplice who confesses. It was also freely predicted that in the event of Haywood's acquittal the state would abound the prosecution of his associates, Charles H. Moyer, president of the federation, and George A. Pettibone of Denver. Application has been made to Judge Wood to admit Moyer and Pettibone to bail, and it was said that in the case of Moyer, against whom the state is admitted to have its weakest case, a favorable consideration would not be unexpected. Not the least interesting of the comments made upon the verdict was that of Harry Orchard, the self-confessed murderer of Governor Steunenberg, and the witness upon whora the state chiefly relied to prove its claim of a sinister conspiracy by the Western Federation of Miners. When told at the state penitentiary that Haywood had been acquitted, Orchard said: "Well, I have done my duty. I have told the truth. I could do no more. I am ready to take any punishment that may be meted out to me for my crime, and the sooner it comes the better." It was after being out for 21 hours that the jury, which at first had been divided eight to four, and then seemed deadlocked at ten to two, finally came to an agreement shortly after the first faint streaks of the coming day showed gray above the giant hills which wall Boise to the north and east. The weary, snow-bearded old bailiff, who had kept an all-night vigil before the door of the juryroom, was startled into action by an imperative knock from within. Events moved rapidly after this, and when at last the principal actors in the trial had been gathered into the courtroom at a few minutes before 8 o'clock the white envelope handed by the foreman to the judge was torn open and the verdict read. Butte Unions in Big Parade. Butte, Mont., July 30.—Seven thousand stalwart miners and other union workers of Butte paraded the streets in this city Sunday evening as an expression of their gratification at the acquittal of William D. Haywood. Preceded by pictures of Haywood, banners on which were inscribed the sentiments of the marching thousands and by big American flags and with the Boston & Montana band playing stirring march music, the great procession started, four abreast, from in front of Miners' Union hall, and traversed all the principal thoroughfares of the city. GLASS JURY DISAGREES Bands Seven for Conviction, Five for Acquittal. San Francisco—The jury in the case of Louis Glass, vice president and general manager of the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph company, accused of having bribed Charles A. Boxton, a member of the board of city supervisors, through the agency of Theodore V. Halsey, to withhold a franchise from a rival corporation, was unable to agree on a verdict and was discharged after being out 48 hours. The jury stood seven for conviction and five for acquittal. This was the result on the first ballot and subsequent ballots showed no change in sentiment. The prosecution announced that they will proceed with other indictments against Glass on a similar charge. MEMPHIS FIRE BRINGS DEATH Property Loss Reaches $600,000—Long Beyond Control. emphis, Tenn., July 30.—In an early morning fire here, originating on the eleventh floor of the Manufacturers' Cold Storage company's building, which was in course of erection, one fireman lost his life and two others were seriously injured.

Pape was placed in jail and an hour after hanged himself. The Pape family is prominent and wealthy. BELL INCENSED AT COLORADO. Haywood Not Guilty, He Says—Verdict Shocks Peabody. Denver, Col., July 29.—General Sherman Bell, who repressed dynamiters and rioters in Cripple Creek, says of Haywood's acquittal: "Haywood never was legally, technically or criminally guilty of the murder of Steuenberg, in my opinion. But he was sneakingly and in an un-American manner officially transported from Colorado into Idaho, held in jail for over a year and tried for the murder of Steuenberg on general principles by a lot of political and otherwise cowards from Colorado, who did not possess the brains nor the necessary nerve to carry out their part of the deal, but fudged the whole business on Idaho, who is now holding the sack." General Bell says congress should deprive Colorado of statehood and "make her a territory under some appropriate name for her misdeeds." Former Governor Peabody said of the Haywood jury's verdict: "I don't know what to make of it. I believe that Haywood was given as fair a trial as any man ever had and I considered that the state had made a clear and convincing case against him. How the jury could have reached such a verdict so wholly beyond my comprehension and I must wait for further and fuller reports from Boise before I can form anything like a definite opinion of reasons which actuated the jury in acquitting Haywood." "The Denver trades assembly passed resolutions rejoicing in Haywood's acquittal, and sent him congratulations by wire. C. C. Hamlin Is Astounded. C. C. Hamlin is Astounded. C. C. Hamlin, the real head of the Cripple Creek Mineowners' association during the strike troubles in the gold camp, said: "I am astounded as well as surprised at the acquittal of Haywood. I know that the best the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners expected was a disagreement of the jury. How it could have found Haywood innocent is beyond my comprehension." Gompers Attacks Orchard. Washington—President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor in an interview regarding the outcome of the Haywood trial at Boise, Idaho, declared that no honest American jury could have brought in any other verdict. Moyer Released Under Heavy Bail Boise, Idaho, July 30.—Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners and co-defendant with William D. Haywood, acquitted of the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, has been ordered released on $25,000 bail by Judge Wood, who presided at the Haywood trial. He will leave for his home in Denver. No application for bail was made in the case of George A. Pettibone, the third of the alleged conspirators, but a motion was made for a speedy trial and his case was ordered set down for Tuesday, October 1. Counsel intimated that they might apply for bond for Pettibone later, but it is not believed that the state's attorneys will consent. It has been generally claimed that the state has more incriminating evidence against Pettibone than any of the oher s, while it has been generally conceded that the case against Moyer is the weakest of the three. LATE NEWS ITEM8. It was reported Monday night that No. 16, on the Northern Pacific, was wrecked near Elliston, five people killed and the train set on fire.

Find Loophole in Law. Nashville, Tenn.—A bill has been filed in the chancery court here by the solicitor for 24 foreign insurance companies attacking the constitutionality of the new corporation law on an entirely new ground, one not heretofore raised by any complainant. These companies insist that the new act requiring corporations to file certain information with the secretary of state of Tennessee and to pay certain fees based on the amount of capital stock is a police regulation, its purpose being to compel the companies to do a certain thing and for this reason the attempt of the act to make a classification among the companies in the amount of fees exacted is class legislation. Fairbanks Is Still Genial. Vice President Fairbanks reached Boston recently at the end of his trip across the continent.

Lucky Shift of Wind Probably Saved the Balance of Great Area—Destruction of Park a Great Sight—Tongues of Flames Leaped High Into the Air—Luna Park Was Saved. New York, July 30. Coney Island was visited by a disastrous fire early Sunday and seven blocks in the amusement zone were destroyed. The loss is estimated at more than $1,000,000. Tilyou's steeplechase park and nearly a score of small hotels were wiped out, and for a time the flames threatened the destruction of Luna park and Dreamland, great homes of summer amusement, and the scores of smaller places which fringe the water's edge for a mile. A lucky shift of the wind to seaward added the firemen and probably saved the whole picturesque area. The destruction of Steeplechase park was a spectacular sight. Tongues of flames leaped hither and thiter, licking up the scenic railway, the rattle dazzle, the dancing pavilion and the horse racing railway. The steeplechase and the hotel and nearly a score of smaller wooden hotels which fronted along the western side of the park were soon blazing. Fire Commissioner Lantry, seeing that nothing could be saved in the park, ordered that all efforts be concentrated on the east side of the flaming blocks, to keep the fire from getting into the flimsy buildings in the Bowery, and thus making a fire trail to Dreamland and Luna park. The firemen were massed at the entrance to the Bowery, and, although a Japanese skating rink, a small dance hall and a restaurant were destroyed there the fire was checked. The wind had in the meantime switched to the south and this favorable slant of the breeze enabled the fire fighters to confine the fire to seven blocks. The alarm of our woke dozing Coney Island with* a start, and in a few minutes Surf avenue was jammed with excited freaks and frolickers, chorus girls, snake charmers, animal trainers, performers, amusement employees—all the miscellaneous population of the island, in fact. Inside the burning park all was excitement and confusion among the two score employees who slept in a house near the entrance. Carrying grips and luggage, they scurried to the street, and while the exodus was in progress, a cry went up that Sandora, the armless and legless man, who eats a dozen meals a day just to show that he can do it without the aid of arms and legs, was missing. Selizing baskets, two employees hurried back and found Sandora wriggling along the floor toward the door. The "wonder" was piled into a basket and through the flames and smoke threatened to engulf his rescuers, he was carried to a hotel, where he remarked that his escape had been effected "without the loss of life or limb." The hotels burned like tinder and a few minutes sufficed to wipe them out clean. One of the first to escape from his lodging place was Francesco, fire eater. When things are calm and placid Francesco eats and breathes it forth again, all for a livelihood. Sometimes he is advertised to bathe in tongues of flames. But Sunday's conflagration was too much even far Francesco and he wisely gave way to the firemen. Arthur Lee, manager of Steeplechase park, speaking for Mr. Tillyou, said that the loss on the park, which was completely destroyed, would reach $1,000,000, and there was no insurance. The hotels destroyed were small and the property loss on them will not reach more than $100,000. The police report three injured by the fire. Estimates of the total loss by the show people are somewhat in excess of the figures set by the police and fire departments, who say that $200,000 would be a conservative estimate of the damage. PLANS TO OUST BOODLE BOARD Mayor Taylor of San Francisco Wants Bad Ones to Resign Singly. San Francisco, Cal., July 29.—It is expected that the 16 supervisors appointed by Mayor Taylor will be formally seated soon. The present plan is to have one member of the boodling board resign at a time in order that there may be a majority to pass the resolution of formal recognition of each of the new members as he takes his seat. In this manner it is planned to proceed until each of the 16 resignations have been formally accepted and each of the 16 of Mayor Taylor's list has been formally appointed and recognized. Former Mayor Schmitz is preparing at the county jail a list of supervisors whom he will apoint to succeed the old board. A test case to establish Mayor Taylor's authority is soon to be made by bringing mandamus proceedings against City Treasurer Bantel to honor salary warrants. Cabinet Members to Tulsa Tula, I.

Plans are being formulated for the erection of a large pulp mill at Copeland, Idaho. It is stated that land has been purchased for a site and that when in operation the mill will give employment to 250 hands. H. W. MacGarrah, who claimed to have been robbed of $490 in the depot at Kamaih a few nights ago, has confessed that there was no robbery. The books of the depot have been examined and it is said MacGarrah is short about $1500. E. O. Simmons, who was arrested at Northport a few days ago on a charge of criminal assault, has waived examination in the Justice court at Collylle, and has been bound over to the superior court. His ball is fixed at $10,000. In attempting to prevent the capizing of a canoe on Lake Washington Friday, in which he and a girl were riding, D. C. Shriver, a bookkeeper in the Puget Sound National bank, jumped overboard and was drowned. The girl was saved. The western Washington lumbermen have pledged a fund of $100,000 to fight the increased freight rates. A redhot campaign is to be waged, as the lumbermen realize that the proposed increase will practically seal the doom of the lumber business in western Washington. Unless there is a reduction of labor and an increase of wages, there is to be a strike of the barbers on Grays Harbor August 5. The union men have also submitted a price list that the boss barbers shall charge customers, which the owners of shops say they will at least refuse to comply with. N. Aramaki, a Jap, is under arrest at Mount Vernon, Wash., and the police are looking for Robert C. Johnson, both being accused of padding payrolls on the Great Northern.

Twelve cowboys are engaged and the horses are well handled. Some of the horses weigh 1100 to 1200 pounds, but most of them are ordinary cayes of 700 to 900 pounds. Many buyers are present. ARMY OF JAPS IN HAWAII. Three Complete Brigades, Total of 8000 Men. Berlin—Three complete brigades of the Japanese army, approximately 1000 trained soldiers, are in the Hawaiian Islands, according to information in the hands of the German general staff. It is said that the Japanese migration to the islands has been supervised carefully by the Japanese war department, and the members of the two brigades have been sent slowly and without attracting any attention. The official information here indicates that the Japanese could seize the islands immediately without trouble, if war should be declared against the United States. This move on the part of Japan is looked upon as characteristic of the crafty and ingenious war methods of the little eastern people. LATE NEWS ITEMS William R.

OLD SORES FED AND KEPT OPEN Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed middle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.

Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted health in chronic catarrh diseases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

The Result of Japanese Domination Which Caused a General Outbreak Many Residences Burned—The Streets in Control of a Frenzied Mob. Seoul, Korea, July 29.—Backed by a roaring mob many thousands strong, the mutinous Korean troops in Seoul are trying to exterminate the Japanese in Seoul. The uprising occurred so suddenly that the mikado's forces in the Korean capital were taken absolutely by surprise. The attack was made first against the police, whom they fairly swept before them. The Korean soldiers started the rioting. The populace quickly joined them. The soldiers were formidable from their organization and arms, which the Japanese have not felt strong enough to take from them. Seven of the finest Japanese residences in Seoul were sacked and destroyed with scarcely an effort at resistance by the mikado's forces. Many Japanese have been injured, and among the Koreans the loss in killed and wounded must have been heavy, though, with the fight still in progress and the entire city in a turmoil, an accurate estimate of numbers is impossible. The outbreak is, of course, the direct result of Japanese domination of the country, general dissatisfaction with the new treaty and the deposition of the former emperor. The Korean cabinet members are again the objects of the bitterest execration. They have taken refuge in the palace, where the Japanese minister will doubtless be able to protect them from violence.

The Pirates were the first to shut out Christy Mathewson this season. out Christy Mathewson this season. Looks as though every fight pulled off nowadays has the fake fringe attached. Johnson says he was offered big money to let Fitz stay six rounds. The most successful pitchers in the National league are Brown, Overall, Lundgren, Corridon and Mathewson. Judging by the list of wounded, some exhibition games in baseball are in the same class as sham battles with real bullets. Walter Christie has returned from Europe and is ready for the next Vanderbilt cup race in the fall. Joss, Hughes and Dygert are the only American league pitchers with one-hit games to their credit this season.

New York.—There will be no race for the Vanderbilt cup this year, according to an announcement made by Acting Chairman Pardington of the cup committee recently. The unfavorable attitude of the governor of New York with regard to the proposed use of the militia to guard the course; the failure of the New Jersey state senate to convene in special session to sanction the raceowing to a deadlock; the great distance which the foreigners would be obliged to travel in the event of accepting the very cordial invitation of the governor of California, and the lack of assurance from Missouri, due to the absence of Governor Folk, that the guard of the state could be used, are given as reasons. KILL HIM OR LEAVE HIM. Judge Tuthill's Advice to Woman Beaten by Spouse. Chicago—The killing of husbands who beat their wives was advocated by Judge Tuthill in the course of a divorce suit tried before him today. Indignant at a woman's description of the inhuman treatment to which she had been subjected by a man who claimed to be "her master" and aroused by statements that his abuse had taken place in the presence of men who would not interfere, Judge Tuthill declared that in extreme cases violence should be met with violence, no matter what the consequences. "It is a woman's duty either to kill a man or get away from him," was the judge's emphatic utterance. The court also recommended that neighbors should rush in to a suffering woman's rescue and assail the woman-beater with any missile or weapon to hand. He announced that any one who took such action would find a friend in him. Fairs. Everett, Wash., September 2-7. Bozeman, Mont., September 2-7. Centralla, Wash., September 9-14.

BIG STEAMER BURNS Steamer in Flames in Middle of Lake —Mad Race to Shore, Where the Steamer Was Beached in Seven Feet of Water—Nine Lives Were Lost. Auburn, N. Y., July 29.—The steamboat Frontenac was burned and beached opposite Farley's point at Lake Cayuga and nine lives were lost. The victims were all women and children passengers and all were drowned. Several other passengers were severely burned before the boat could be beached. She lies burned and blackened under seven feet of water. The bodies of the drowned women and children have been recovered. The following were drowned and the bodies subsequently recovered: Miss Homer Genung, Freeville; Carl Genung, 7 years old; Mrs. Zalia McCreery, Cohoes; Miss Lida Bennett, Frankfort; Miss Stella Clinton, Ithaca; Miss Marietta Sullivan, Syracuse; 6-year-old daughter of Howard Able, South Bloomington; two unidentified women. The most seriously burned are: Mrs. Able, Sole Bloomingsburg; Eliza Tuttle, Middleton; Charlotte Brigham, Syracuse. The steamer, on old sidewheeler, double-deck craft, which has plied between Ithaca and Cayuga on Lake Cayuga for 25 years, left the former place this afternoon for the upper lake, carrying 50 passengers and a crew of 12. In midlake fire broke out in the engine room and, fanned by a stiff northeast wind, spread quickly to the afterward section of the boat. The crew of 12 men behaved splendidly, fighting the flames at first, but seeing that nothing could be saved turned all their attention to the passengers. Life preservers were put on every one that could be found in the brief time, but in spite of their efforts nine perished. Captain Brown directed the work of the crew and was the last to leave the burning boat. In strong contrast to the bravery of the crew was the panic and in some instances cowardice of many men among the passengers. In trying to save themselves they seriously impeded the work of the crew. When the flames were first discovered in midlake Captain Brown turned the bow of his little steamer toward the shore and set his crew to work to subdue the flames if possible and to calm the passengers and see they got life preservers. The flames made rapid headway, however, and there was great excitement among the passengers as they were driven to the bow of the boat. The boat was beached at Farley's point. Men from the summer cottages did valliant work in rescuing the passengers and in caring for the injured. It is not known just how the women and children were thrown into the water. It is thought, however, that they became panic-stricken and either jumped into the water as the boat neared the shore or were forced overboard in their rush to get into the boats that put off. CRUMBLING WALL8 KILL TEN Disastrous Explosion in New York Tenement is Unaccountable. New York, July 30.—An explosion accompanied by fire shattered an East Side tenement and with the crumbling walls 10 persons went down to death, while twice as many were probably fatally injured. The explosion is as yet unaccounted for and tore out the front of the building and the fire that followed caught the 20 families, numbering about 100 persons, while most of them were sound asleep. Not until the ashes have cooled will it be possible to recover the bodies of the dead. Of the injured many jumped from the windows, others were caught by falling timbers, many, half suffocated by smoke, were dragged from the hallways, while others received their wounds during the panic and mad fight with each other for an exit. THE PRIVATE IS POORLY PAID In Comparison With Enlisted Man In Canada. It has been assured that Uncle Sam's soldiers were by far the best paid in the world, and that belief has in large part been the cause of the failure of attempts made in the past to secure increases in pay for our own soldiers. But now, in connection with the systematic preparations that are being made to lay the subject of "something wrong with the army" before congress at the next session, it has been discovered that this belief is founded in error and that several nations are much more liberal in treatment of their soldiers than is the United States.
