MILWAUKEE, Wis. July 6. = The
Spanish caravels, the Santa Maria.
Pinta and Nina, in tow OF the steam
barge Hecla. came into the mouth of
the harbor at 80 this morning and
were moored on the south side of the
river between Broadway and the CHI
cago 81 Northwestern railroad bridges
until 9 this morning. At that time the
fireboat Cataract steamed up to the
Grand avenue bridge and took on
board the city officials and a large
number of representative citizens
for the purpose of eScorting the
strangers to the city. The scene
along the route was a novel one. The
windows of the great mercantile and
manufacturing establishments lining
the river bank and towering up from
four to dozen stories were filled with
human eyes looking down upon this
novel procession. When the foreigners
reached the dock at Grand avenue
national cOlors, which draped every
building in the vicinity. The boats
were moored along the west side of the
river. south of Grand avenue, and, when
they had been fast to the dock, the Cat
aract Staemed alongside the Santa Maria
and Gov. Peck, followed by Mayor Koch,
Ii. G. Payne and others, boarded her.
In few minutes the mayor had made
up his mind to a carriage ride, and the
most interesting and attractive sections
of the city, including the breweries,
were visited. At2 O'clock the officers
were served magnificent banquet at
the Hotel Pfster. The crew, consisting of
fifty-two men, dined at the new restaur-
ant in the PaDst building. All day long
the bridges and every available space
were densely packed with sightseers
from all parts OF the city and surround
ing districts. Shortly before O'Clock
the Cataract again steamedup the river,
and preparations were made for depart
ure. Amid the booming of cannon and
screening and footing of a thousand
whistles the stately procession moved
slowly out to sea. 1t is estimated that
fully $4,000 people witnessed the grand
spectacle of departure. 1t pursuance to
orders of Director General Davis, the
caravels will reach Evanston tomorrow
morning at o'clock, where the Chicago
reception committee will meet them.

WHO HAS THE FUNDS?
Mysterious Disappearance of {
Colorado Banks Assets.

Mysterious Disappearance of a
Colorado Banks Assets.
DENVER, July 6.-Elmer E. Williams,
secretary of the state bureau of infor-
nation, has been arrested charged with
having in his possession S31, 900 of the
funds of the Chaffee County bank
which recently failed at Salida. The
bank gave up business under very pc
culiar circumstances. Immediately after
the closing of its doors an investigation
was made, and it was found that the
banks liabilities amount to about SOL
600. and its immediate available assets
about $500. The depositors OF the insti-
tuition were not long in deciding that the
funds had been made away with, and
William E. Robertson, the cashier,
was Immediately placed under arrest.
A further investigation brought to light
the fact that there had been consider
able money in the bank few days be-
fore the failure. 1t was estimated that
there was $4,000 in cash and gilt-edged
securities on hand. Where this has dis
appeared to was the question. Will
lams. who was formerly cashier of the
failed pank, was in Salida Just previous
to the failure. He Is a strong personal
friend of Robertson, and the two are
charged with having made way with
the funds of the institution.

Blame the Contractors.

The inquest in the case of Frank
Bergstrom, who was killed Wednesday
while at work under Elevator E, began
this morning at Fox & O'Brien's morgue
on Central avenue. The principal wit
nesses were II. Hendrickson and other
laborers who were working with or
near Bergstrom. 1t was learned that
death was caused by a blow on the
head from the sharp corner of a heavy
iron pan. The witnesses seemed in
clined to throw the blame of the acct
dent OH the contractors, maintaining that
the piers had not been properly sup
ported while the excavation was being
made.
The majority report, which was signed
by MessrS. l.. w. Campbell, T. r. Rob-
inson, James Dickey and j. B. Lane,
nearly secured five signers, but at the
last moment one of the jurors came to
the conclusion that the accident was the
result of carelessnesS on the part of
Contractor Downs. The minority report
was signed by T. A. Peterson aud Pat
rick Rogers.

BRAIN SURGERY.
Wonderful Advances Made in
Medical Science.
The Great Divide.


The Great Divide.
Among the many wonderful ad-
vances made in medical science during
the present half of the nineteenth cent
ury that of the successful perform
ance of surgical operations Oh the
human brain may properly be accorded
a prominent place in the front rank,
and it must also be born in mind that
that rank embraces anRsthesia,
antisepsiS and the germ theory of the
cause and cure OF disease. Amy one of
these Is sufficient of itself to mark an
era in the progress OF the science and art
of medicine. Within the memory of
surgeons of the present generation the
idea of attempting, in cold blood, sur
glcal operation OH the brain would have
been reprobated as utterly unjustifiabIe,
and as logically emitting the perpe-
traitor either to incarceration within the
walls of lunatic asylum or those OF a
prison.
The organ was looked upon as some
thing almost sacred, aud not as to be
touched by the profane knife of the
surgeon. Extremely exalted ideas in
regard to the delIcacy of the structure
of the brain, conjolned with the in
tricacy of the arrangements of its
several parts and very considerable
ignorance of their functions, have
tended to make surgeons exceedingly
cautions, not to say terrorized, at the
IDEA of invading its precincts even in
the slightest degree. Experiments,
which accidents made for them, did not
seem to create much of an impression.
Thus, persons have had their skulls
fractured, and have lost several table
spoonfulS of brain matter and yet have
recovered. Others have had fragments
of the skull driven into the brain by
violence, and they have remained there,
causing no Inconvenience, and still
others have been shot i'll the head, and
the bullets have remained encysted in
the brain, while the injured person
continued to go about his business
with as much intelligence as he had
before the wound.

WITH THE PLUMBER.
A One-Armed Man Makes a Hard
Fight

Pat Murray is One-armed individual
who has considerable strength in his re-
naming member. Pat is known to the
police as slippery individual, and last
evening when Patrolman Nick Smith
saw Murray near the corner of Second
street and Second avenue north, with
several articles tucked under his
coat, the officer came to the con-
clusion that Murray was guilty of theft.
Smith announced to Murray that he was
under arrest, but the latter did not see
it that way, and gave the officer one of
the hardest fights he ever HAD. Several
firemen from fire headquarters assisted
the officer, and together the one-armed
culprit was placed in the central patrol
wagon and jailed. He had upon his
person an alarm clock, two pairs of
curling irons, comb and other femi-
nine articles. 1t is supposed Murray
robbed some house on First street or
barber shop.
