ladderman's badge, with Coquillette
second. Don't know how the Miller team
was eligible for AZ class race with a
record of Az, unless there We're no teams
present but Miller and Madison. As both
had lower record than AZ, the board of
control may have consented to let them
run for this purse.

Saturdays caucus to select ten delegates
TO the republican county convention lat
st. Lawrencel vas about the most inter
esting little party scrap ever witnessed in
Miller. The result was a victory for the
machine, or the "hoss faction" as termed.
There we're 145 votes cast, and the "wool
faction" lies mouldering in tie grave of
political defeat with an average Of % ma
iority piled on top of them. So they
downed us, and they are entitled and
welcome to all the glory they can get out
OF 1t. Our note book contains enough
reasons to ill this paper, but You will
probably agree with us that the principal
reason we cot left vas because we didn't

The court house was full of lively and

blood was allowed to come to the surface.
The hoss men captured the organization
Of the caucus and had things much their
own way. Mr.. Milan read letters and
introduced resolution to prove that with
all his faults lac loved Picker still. So
We infer the republicans OF Hand county
are almost unanimous for Major Picker
for congress. The business men made q
good fight, put up as good a set Of dele

Gates of death were received at the Bu-
reau of Vital Statistics So large a
number of deaths has never been report
ed in one day, except in extremely hot
summer weather. An examination OF
the report showed that Ill Of
the 900 deaths had been caused
by bronchial troubles. Pneumonia
had caused fifty-one deaths, phthisis
forty-one and bronchitis fifteen, while
four deaths were described by the physi-
clans as having been caused by ''epidem-
ic Influenza DIR. Tracy Register OF
Vital Statistics, said that most of the
deaths from pneumonia, phthisis and
bronchitis probably had been hastened
mortality for the week probably
would reach LILO. The aver
age number of deaths week
in this city is below ZOO. The weather
on Thursday favored spread of the dis.
ease, while Friday it was expected to be a
check to the progress of influenza. Re-
ports received by Superintendent Murray
showed that 357 of the 8,4l6 policemen
in the city were on the sick list. Cap
tain Meakin and five Sergeants are
among the sufferers. Influenza has

BY Former Hired Man-Two Deaths En-
sue-The Wretch Attempts Suicide When
Arrested.
JOLIET, ILL.,, Jan. "a tragedy which
promises to develop some sensational
features occurred yesterday at the farm
of John Dali, German, living near the
village of Mokena, in this county. Dali
was a single man living with his
mother, Mrs. Amelia Dali, seventy
years old, and connected with the
household were hired man named
Schuffler and girl named Nina
Schenek. On New Years day the girl
prepared dinner, and when the coffee
was served and tasted each member of
the family noticed that it had strong,
bitter taste. The stuff was thrown away
and new lot made. This was also bad,
but not enough so to prevent the family
from partaking freely of it. Soon after
dinner they all became alarmingly sick,
and had to go to bed. The hired man and
girl at once drank quantity of milk.
This caused vomiting and saved their
lives. Mrs. Dali died after a few hours
of eXcruciatng pain, and last evening
John Dali breathed his last. The ply
sician could not determine the character
of the poison. A white powder was no
ticed in the first pot of coffee. John
Shafer, former employe of Dali, and a
rival suitor for the hand of the servant
maid was at once suspected as the guilty
person. When the sheriff arrested him
at Mokena this morning he tried to COM
init suicide with razor.

TALE OF WOE.
Destruction of Paupers' School in
England.
Twenty-SlS Boys Lose Their Livcs-Hcroio
Conduct of n Lad Who Saves
Many Lives.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The boys section OF
the pauper school in the district of For
est Gate, in connection with the White
chapel and Poplar Unions, took fire last
night while the inmates were asleep,
was burned, with terrible results, twen.
ty-six of the boys, who were in the up
Der stories, being suffocated before they
could be rescued. Fifty-eight other
boys were safely taken from the burn
ing building amid terrible excite
ment. Two OF the matrons of the in
stitution escaped in safety by sliding
down the water-pipes. Several of the boys
escaped in the same way. The superin-
tendent of the school repeatedly rushed
through the schools and brought out a
number of inmates. There were 600 per-
sons in the institution. The bodies of
those who were suffocated were carried
to the main hall of the building, which
was still profusely decorated with
Christmas green's. The fire was
caused by an overheated stove. The
female department., N which were $50
girls, was not touched. The boys re-
tired last evening in the highest spirits,
having been promised presents and q
New-Year' $ fete yesterday. The scenes in
the main hall, where the bodies of the
dead boys lie, are narrowing. Relatives
and school-fellows of those who
perished are loud in their lamenta-
tions- The hero of the occasion
was a boy who acted in the
capacity Of monitor in the fatal ward,
himself boy whose vicious habits had
made him an inmate of the institution.
Through his efforts many boys were lit
orally driven from the building, and he
ceased his work Of rescuing his fellows
when he was himself driven out by the
flames. Several of his companions he
dragged, unconscious, out of the win
dows, while others he carried into tho
air in his arms.

New York Undertakers Unable to supply
Necessary Hearses--The Influenza In
creases in Extent and Eject.
New York, Jan. 6.--The large num-
ber of deaths in New York and neigh
boring cities is shown by the fact that
a request was made yesterday, by un-
dertakers in this city, for ten hearses
from Staten Island. Two were all that
could be furnished. An undertaken who
brought them over said that during his
thirty years experience in the business
it was the first time he had ever known
of demand for hearses being made
upon Staten Island by undertakers in
this city. The ranks of the police
force are now showing the effect of the
epidemic. The list of those now suffer.
ing from it contains names of 337 mem-
bers of the force. DIR. John r. Paxton,
pastor of West Presbyterian Church, in
West Forty-second street, was taken
seriously i'll yesterday at his home. He
preached at the morning services yester-
day. During the afternoon he was
stricken down with influenza. His fam
lily physician was summoned and de.
clared that it was a severe attack Of 'la
grippe" Burris Skidmore, aged twenty.
five and member of one of the oldest
and best known families in New York,
died at 6 o'clock last evening from an
attack of the grip" that terminated
in pneumonia. DR.. Linehan, of
the Board of Health, also died
from the grip yesterday. The extent to
which the prevailing malady has seized
upon the people of New York can be
estimated in some degree by the num-
ber of cases which are registered at the
different hospitals. AT Bellevue Hos.
pital there have been sixty-five new
cases registered since December 2s.
Some of the cases are severe, as that OF
DR.. Paul Hoffman, who became insane
through the disease. DR.. Hoffman is
much better. The death rate for the
city for the twenty-four hours up to noon
Yesterday was oO7
