Lather Leo Heinrichs of St. Elizabeth's Church, While Offering Sacrament, Was Shot Through the Heart —Panic Ensued Among Congregation—Assassin Was Captured. Denver, Col., Feb. 24.—Father Leo Heinrichs was shot and killed while administering the sacrament at early mass in St. Elizabeth's Catholic church, Eleventh and Curtis streets, this city, at 6 o'clock Sunday morning, Kneeling at the altar rail between two women, Guiseppe Guaranaccio pressed the muzzle of a revolver against the body of the priest after receiving from him the consecrated wafer and shot the priest of God through the heart. Exclaiming "My God! my God!" Father Leo fell prone in front of the altar and died without uttering an other word. With an inarticulate scream of triumph, which the communicants declare was the yell of a demented man, the assassin ran into the aise, and, waving the weapon about his head, dashed to the church door. For a moment the hundred or more people in the church were dazed. Then a woman shrieked and the congregation became panic-striken. Some women fainted and many became hysterical. Murdered Is Captured. Several men rushed to the aid i the priest and others started in pursuit of the murderer. Among the latter was Patrolman Daniel Crefin, who overtook the fleeing Italian on the * church steps. Guarnaccio attempted to shoot the policeman, and was foiled and overpowered only after a desperate struggle, in which several men had to come to the assistance of the officer. The murderer was hurried over to the city jail. Church Closed for the Day.

By direction of Bishop Matz, the church was closed for the day. Deputy Coroner Daniel mayes took charge of the body of Father Leo, which was removed to the city morgue. A single hole in the white communion robes of the priest showed that the bullet had gone straight to his heart. The bullet remaining in the revolver had been sharpened to a fine point. Assassin Was an Anarchist. Guarnaccio was placed in solitary confinement in the city jail. He admitted to a policeman who interviewed him that the priest whom he had killed was a stranger to him, and in explanation of his crime made the following statement: "I was just over there because I have a grudge against all priests in general. They are all against the workingmen. I went to the communion rail because I could get a better shot. I did not give a d—whether he was a German priest or any other kind of a priest. They are all in the same class. "I left Italy three months ago, went first to Central America and then came to the United States and to Denver. I am an anarchist. I shot him, and my only regret is that I could not have shot the whole bunch of priests in the church. I am a shoemaker, but have not worked since coming to Denver." Priest an Able Churchman. Father Leo Heinrichs was born at Koeln, Germany, August 15, 1867. He entered the Franciscan order December 4, 1886, and was ordained July 26, 1891. He came to Denver last September from Paterson, N.

Senator Heyburn's joint resolution passed the senate recently giving Idaho a million acres under the Carey act. The state originally had a million acres, the same as other arid land states, but the allotment is practically exhausted in Idaho.

Small Outbreaks Have Already Occurred in the Provinces—Great Military Plans Are Made to Crush Any Attempted Uprising — Government sees a Crisis in Political Situation. Lisbon, Portugal, Feb. 24.—This city resembles an armed camp. Soldiers occupy all the public buildings, strong patrols guard the streets, reserve forces are held in readiness, though concealed from the public view, at nearly all public squares, while in the barracks the entire garrison is under arms. In all the larger cities of the country similar preparations to meet outbreaks have been made For several days there have been rumors that the revolutionary outbreaks planned to organize at the time of the late King Carlos' assassination have been arranged for. In the few weeks King Manual has welded the scepter the revolutionary agitators have been active. The banishment of former Premier Franco appeased them for a short while, but the demands made by the revolutionaries could not be granted by the government, even under Manuel's promises of reforms, and the revolutionary propaganda was resumed. Government spies have reported in the last few days that plans were being laid to start uprisings in several parts of the country simultaneously. Outbreaks have already occurred in the provinces. Few details have reached here, but it is known people are in an extremely dangerous mood. Just how critical the situation is con General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. considered is shown by the sending of a gunboat to Setubal. Oporto is another dangerous point where demonstrations against the government are to be expected at any time. In case of a real conflict, just how strong the government would prove is problematical. Doubt Loyalty of Army. Even the loyalty of the army is to be doubted. The soldiers have not been overlooked by the revolutionary agitators, and the ranks are honeycombed with dissatisfaction. A decisive victory for the revolutionaries would probably be followed by wholesale desertions to the popular cause. The danger is well appreciated by the king's advisers, and this is the cause of the military preparations to crush any attempted uprising in its incipiency. The duke of Oporto, accompanied by a strong guard, makes frequent inspections of the various garrison posts. All the public buildings, including the Bank of Portgual, are occupied by heavy detachments of the municipal guard. The commerce of Lisbon reflects the secret uneasiness of the people. The political situation in which the government finds itself today is extremely critical, and there is much uncertainness as to the outcome. The government is fairly caught between two fires, the renewal of the popular agitation for increased liberties on the one hand and the reactionary conspiracy on the other, and it seems to be trying to fight both at the same time. The situation at Setubal is reported to be critical and the gunboat Zaire has been dispatched to that port.

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 mild 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 talsis 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. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can Then the sore begins to heal, new flesh is formed, all pain and inflammation leaves, the place scabs over, and when S. S.

Spokane, Feb. 24.—"This ends everything between us," were the words uttered by Mark McClammy preceding the enactment of a bloody tragedy at a local hotel Sunday afternoon, which put an end to the domestic differences between him and his wife. McClammy is dead from a bullet from a 38-caliber revolver with which he blew out his brains, and his wife is lying at the point of death, with two bullet holes through her body, one bullet having passed through the liver and the other taking effect below the heart, while a third passed through her left wrist, all fired from the pistol in the hands of her husband. After examination Dr. Witter gave it as his opinion that she could not recover. The only eye-witness to the shooting was Mrs. Lucy Smith, a chambermaid. The McClammys had two children, a boy 8 years old and girl 6 years on age. With a final request that her body be not interred alongside that of her husband, Mrs. McClammy, died 12 hours later. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. The supreme court of the United States has handed down a decision affirming the judgement of the Idaho federal court in the case of George Dick, an Indian, charged with selling liquor on the Nez Perce Indian reservation, in Idaho. The case involves a penitentiary sentence, and was brought to he supreme court on an appeal. The following towns in the reservation have saloons within their borders, doing business under license issued by the county commissioners: Spalding, Fort Lapwai, Reubens, Kippen, East Ilo, Vollmer, Waha, Monler, Nez Perce, Stites, Kooskia, Ferdia, Lowe, Greer, Orofino, Peck, Gifford and Lookout. To Nez Perce and Idaho counties it means an annual loss of $750 license money for each saloon, and as there are approximately 35 saloons it means a loss of $25,000, which has gone into the treasury of the two counties. That laundries and other concerns employing females in mechanical labor in Oregon may not require female employees to work more than 10 hours a day, in compliance with the law enacted by the legislature of that state in 1903, has been proclaimed by the United States supreme court in the case of Curt Muller, a laundry-man doing business in Portland, versus the state of Oregon. Muller attacked the law as unconstitutional, claiming that it puts limitation on the power of construct. The Oregon supreme court upheld the law. Holding first, that women's rights can be no more infringed than those of men, Justice Brewer went still further, and held that, on many accounts, woman is entitled to greater protection than her brother.

MEADE AND BUSH PUT A BUNGH TO FLIGHT IN A JIFFY. The following clipping from a Bozeman papper will no doubt be of interest to many of Helena's Citizens, in which our own Robert Meade and J. W. Bush figure as the Heroes, and the only thing we think was wrong, is that either one of them had to pay a fine and just think of what would have happened if conditions had been reversed. Any man or set of men who would with out cause insult a lady, should get what Meade and Bush gave this gang of uncouth ruffians the clipping follows. Clyde Huston, Al Sawyer, Geo Kellogg and Dem Nix, white men and Robert Meade and John Bush colored gentlemen, were hauled up before Police Judge Ellis last week for disturbing the peace and were eaeh given a fine. It seems that the first four gentlmen were in the City restrauant on Saturday eveuing February 1, indulging in a feed when two colored ladies entered the place and, stepping into a booth' ordered supper. The men are alleged to have offereb the coloreb ladies several insults which were resented by the colored gentlemen above mentioned, who happened to be in the restaurant at the time. A fistic encounter followed and when stock was taken it was found that meade had cleaned up the four white men single handed and with out any trouble. Houston, as the instigator of the trouble was fined 25 dollars while the balance of the bunch, with the exception of Bush were fined 10 dollars each. Bush was fined 5 dollars. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS & C. Anyone sending a sketch and description may be either an invention is probably patentable.
