A SuaaEsTIoN--lt is yet about six weeks
until the Glorious Fourth and inasmuch as
there has not been any special observance
of this day by our people, we suggest that
preparations be made for days amusements
of whatever kind those who may interest
themselves will determine.
Among the enjoyable and harmless pas
times that might be indulgedln we might
name foot racing, jumping, vaulting, rifle
shooting, glass ball shooting, tug of-war,
putting of heavy weight or hammer, sack
racing, three legged man race, climbing
creased pole, silt racing, etc, with fire
works at night.
We believe that good sum 10 purchase
prizes could be raised, day of genuine
recreation and amusement for all be secured
that wonld harm no one and benefit all.
Ifanybody will second the motion we will
put 1t squarcy before you all in our next
issue.

was class day at Yale. This morning at II
o'clock the students, with a large number of
friends, assembled in the chapel to partici-
pate in the exercises. President Porter and
Governor Harrison occupied seats on the

WHO THREW THE B0MB?'
STARTLING STATEMENT MADE BY
ONE OF THE ANACHSTS.

Bheinbold Krueger, Driven to Despera-
First Policeman He Meets aud "Thon
Die with His Boots On"-His Record.
CHICAGO, June 30-"The man who threw
the bomb is dead" This startling remark
was made to a reporter by Oscar Neebe, one
of the eight men arraigned in Judge Garry's
court for completely in the Haymarket riots
at is no wonder" he continued, "that the
police have not found him. did not know
at the time who threw the terrible missile,
but have taken every means to find out,
and my opportunities are superior to those of
the police. The man who threw the bomb
was Rheinbold Krueger, who tried to kill
Officer Michael Madden the day after the
Haymarket riot, and who was fatally shot by
Madden Kruger was driven to desperation
by the deed that he did on the night of May
1. All that night he and companion spent
in the saloons on Milwaukee avenue drinking
hard. They were armed, and on Wednesday
Kruger was heard to say in one of these
places that he was determined to kill the first
policeman he met, and to die with him. He
feared capture and hanging, and made up
his mind to die with his boots on"
This remarkable story led to an investiga.
tion of Krueger's record. William Seleger,
the indicted man, who will give states evil
dence, says that Krueger was one Of the con
spirators who was present at the secret meet
ing held on West Lake street on the night Of
May 3. Lingg Eneel, Fischer, Herschberger
and of
that the plot was laid. The investigation
made by States Attorney Grinnell and Capt.
Setback revealed the fact that Kruger was
one of the most radical of the Anarchists and
constant inciJer to offensive action His
name was found among the list in the Arbei-
ter Zeitung Office, He was a single man,
born in Germany, twenty-five years old, five
feet nine inches in height and light complex
ion He did not look like laborer,
This description agrees in every way with
the description which John Burnett gives of
the man who threw the bomb. Neither
Fischer nor Schnaubett answers that descrip-
tion. Kruger was tanner. He was known
to be engaged with Louis Singg and two
other leu in the manufacture OF dynamite
and bombs. He attended the Haymarket
meeting with Wilhelm Boege After the
terrible affair there all the four conspirators
secreted themselves and only left their homes
or hiding places when dragged forth by the
police. Kruger and Boege went on de-
bauch as described.
A few days after Kruger was shot some
friends removed two trunks from his room
to house near Robey street and Blooming
ton road. Two weeks later thirty loaded
dynamite bombs were found under side
walk at that point The police said that they
had evidence to convince them that the
bombs had been carried in one OF the trunks
from Krueger's room, but they declined to
make this evidence public.

, Thrilling Scene in a Passenger Coach Of
! the Michigan Central Railroad.
I DETROIT, June 20,-Among the passengers
, on the Michigan Central local train were
John Kolb, an attache of the Detroit poor
department, who had in his charge Frederick
, Tubering and Leo Levi, two insane patients,
on his way to the asylum at Wayne The
patients seemed rational as they boarded the
train and excited no attention as they took
, seats in a crowded coach. 1t was necessary
for the party to separate in order to get seats,
and in this way Kolbs eye was withdrawn
from a constant surveillance of Tuberipg.
The latter is powerfully built German, with
iron gray hair and beard and dark eyes.
Shortly after the train drew out of Spring.
wells Kolb was attracted by the cries Of wo-
men passengers He had only time to look
up and see Tubering with his hands raised to
deal murderous blow at him. The insane
man was armed with large iron spike and a
brass faucet. Kolb ducked in time to avoid
the blows and the pair at once clinched. The
frenzied patient fought desperately and his
cries of murder rang through the car Wo-
men screamed and fed from the coach They
were followed by the men, leaving the keeper
and the lunatic in their struggle up and down
the aisle. For time the frenZied madman had
the best of the fight, but Kolb managed to
avoid the iron missiles until the train hands
arrived to help him. The combined strength
of four men finally overcame the patient and
he was ironed until the train reachedWayne
Then he had another desperate fight with his
keeper, but with the assistance Of bystanders
he was finally Ovsrpowered and taken to the
asylum

BLOOMINGTON, June 27.-Ex-Vice Presi-
dent Davis has just died During the early
part of last evening he appeared to be failing
and it was felt certain he could not live
through the night. At II o'clock he revived
somewhat and was given milk and stimulants
In small quantities. The effect was for the
worse, however, for he at once relapsed into
a comatose condition, his pulse becoming
very feeble. During the succeeding three
hours he failed gradually, his respiration
growing noticeably weaker until the end
came.
The cause of Judge Davis death was
Bright's disease of the kidneys, aggravated
by a weakened condition Of the system, dating
from the time when he became afflicted with
the carbuncle. His last hours were calm and
peaceful.
Ex-Judge David Davis has been big man
in more than one sense. For nearly thirty
years he occupied seat on the bench, fifteen
years of that time as judge of the supreme
court, During the quiet and dignity neces-
sary to the position, he acquired ponder
osity which brought his weight past the 300
pound mark. But then the judge inherited
a large body. He came Of stalwart fam
lily, who settled on the eastern shore of Mary
land, where the future judge was born in
1916. He graduated from Kenyon college,
Ohio, in 1882, studied law in Massachusetts
and Connecticut, and when admitted to the
bar began to practice at Bloomington, III.
Speaking of this the judge said recently:
"While going to college in the west, got to
see western people and the better chances in
the west, so / settled in Illinois. When got
out there think every member of the bar
drank and gambled. Some of them were as
brilliant men as ever you knew. looked on
awhile, and made up my mind 1 would
neither drink nor gamble, and consequently
have survived a small host of men probably
better entitled to live and be useful than my
self. I did not smoke cigar until was
pretty well advanced in life; indeed, only
few years ago Perhaps my loss Of flesh Of
late years is attributable to my stopping
ing smoking, which did for some time"
Mr.. Davis entered politics in 1874 by being
member of the state constitute NAL conven-
tion of 1S47, and was elected circuit judge
in 1913. In 1869 President Lincoln appointed
him one of the judges of the United States
supreme court which position he held until
1877, when he resigned to succeed John A.
Logan as United States senator from Illinois.
Upon the death of President Garfield in
1881, Vice President Arthur became the head
of the government, and Judge Davis was
chosen president of the senate. After the
expiration of his senatorial term he married
young lady in North Carolina, and retired
to private life IN his old home in Blooming
ton. Ills Some weeks ago he first COM
planned of not feeling well. He began to lose
flesh rapidly, until he became but shadow
of his former self. Judge Davis leaves
record as jurist and statesman of which
his adopted state is Justly proud.

Rev. DIR. Joseph Parker, the pastor of tho
City Temple and his wife DR.. Parker's
greeting to the prominent American divine
was of most affectionate nature. DR.. Par
ker led Mrs. Beecher to his carriage which
was in waiting, patting her hand fondly all
the while Mr.. Beecher on the other hand
was more reserved, and led the wife of Rev.
Dr. Parker to the vehicle in most decorous
manner. The party were at once driven to
the residence of Rev. Mr. Parker at st.
Johns The English system of luggage car
rying seemed greatly to puzzle Mr.. Beecher,
and this in turn seemed greatly to amuse Mr.,
Parker
Mr. Beecher and wife are in the best Of
health and spirits. In brief conversation
MIR. Beecher said he would take a good rest
before starting out on his lecturing tour or
preaching any sermons. He appeared to be
entirely carried away with Mr.. Gladstone's
marvellous oratorical powers and asserted
that it was one Of thf greatest treats Of his
life to have been ablj to listen to Mr.. Glad

his remarks i'll the vLst crowds present at the

When the aremen arrived the three story
brick building was in flames from roof to
basement. Fortunately it stands detached
and alone. On account of the inhammable
nature of the material stored in the place, it
was almost impossible to save anything.
Lieut.. G. NJ. Manning and Baseman William
Barry were with others near the rear wall of
the alley when a shout was raised that the
wall was falling. Those who could do so got
out of the way, but before Manning and his
companions could escape the wall came down
with q crash, tumbling completely over the
lieutenant, but fortunately only breaking a
few toes On BaTy's right foot.
1t was not known that Manning had been
injured at the time, and no search was made.
When he regained consciousness he found
himself alone He managed to crawl out
from under the debris, and hailed a marshal,
who at once had him conveyed to the engine
house, where he was cared for His right
