He Talks This Time of progress" and Is
Tolerant of Cannibalism.

re Ilme OF Progress
Tolerant of Cannibalism.
NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-"Bob" Ingersoll has
written new lecture which he calls "Pro-
gress." He delivered it at the Broadway
theatre Sunday night. In it he said: an
the beginning our ancestors dwelt in dens
and caves, gnawing bones and digging the
roots of herbs for food People nowadays
hold up their hands in horror at the idea of
man eating his fellows, as happened in the
past, but in my opinion he Jared very well.
What better subjects for food could he
have found? If he must live on his fellow
man, that's the best way of doing it."
Some Political Changes He Wants.
He advocated restricting the right of the
franchise to the owners of homes and pass
ing laws for encouraging the establish
ment of homes which, he said, were the
nations greatest need. He wanted laws
passed also that would prevent US becom-
ing race of landlords and tenants; that
would compel landlords to sell all the land
they had and didn't need He referred to
the Briggs anC McGlynn cases as showing
that the Roman Catholic and Presbyterian
churches were progressing and expected
that soon the latter body would receive
him into its fold

THAT MAN TASCOTT.
an Alaska Miner Sure He Has
Located Him.
CHICAGO POLICE SURE he HASN'T.

Story That the Real Murderer of Million
aire Smell Is a Person of Wealth Who
Pays the Suspect for Assuming the Bur-
den - Not Credited by Windy City
Sleuths-Evidence They Have-Theory
That the Alleged Murderer Has Been
Killed by Accomplices.
H. SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 3.-The where
abouts of Tascott, the alleged murderer of
Banker Smell, of Chicago, whom the de-
tectlves have unsuccessfully sought for
years has undoubtedly been located in
Alaska. Jules Beauvais, the well-known
and reliable mining man and owner of sew
eral rich mines in SLOGAN county, is stop
ping in this city for a few days, having re-
Gently returned from Alaska, where he is
interested in several mining properties. To
a reporter he said he spent all last summer
In Alaska. On various occasions in Sitka,
Juneau and other places he saw and con-
versed with William B. Tascott, accused
of the murder of Smell. Il knew him per.
sonally while living in Chicago" said
Beauvais, land when l first met him in
Sitka he recognized me and 1 did him. 1
had talk with him on various subjects.
Subject He Doesn't Like
when | mentioned his connection with
the murder of Smell he appeared to dislike
to talk, and while he answered questions
on the subject without hesitation, he
would quickly change the conversation
into other channels" Beauvais related
further that Tascott had been in Alaska
nearly all the time since the murder, and
makes no pretence of concealing his iden-
tity. He has made a little money at times
prospecting and dabbling in mining prop
erty, but during the past summer was
hard up and drinking heavily. Beauvais gave
him money on several occasions. Tascott
said that the mystery of the murder would
soon be cleared up and then he will have
plenty of money.
Sensational Part of the Story
Tascott and his connection with the
murder is we'll known to many miners in
Alaska, and in conversation at various
times with different men he has always in
timated that the murder was perpetrated
by person of wealth and influence, and
the general inference is that Tascott was
heavily bribed to take upon his own shout
ders the odium of another's crime. Beau
vais, when asked if it was possible that he
was mistaken in Tascott's identity, said:
ut is impossible for me to be mistaken in
the man, for l know him quite we'll " Beau
vais is well-known and responsible min
ing man in this city and all vouch for his
reliability and truthfulness

The Customers Panic-stnck.
A BABE IN DIRE PERIL.
Saved by Her Mother-The Doomed Girls
Terrible Race

Saved by Her Mother-The Doomed Girls
Terrible Race
Margaret was driven to desperation by
this time, and increasing torment drove
her to race along the hallway again, into
the store and out through the door left
ajar by those who had fed in dismay at
her appearance. Mrs. Kindler's attempt
to catch the burning woman was
brought to an abrupt end by sight that
met her gaze in the kitchen. On the floor
was seated her baby. Surrounding him on
all sides were burning fragments of Miss
Osterkamp's clothing that had dropped off
as she rushed past him or had been torn
off in her frantic efforts to extinguish the
fire. The baby's clothing had already
caught fire when its mother made her ap-
pearance. tClasping him to her bosom she
saved him from death.
Vain Efforts to Save Her.
The four corners made by the intersec-
ton of Milwaukee and West Chicago ave
nues were crowded at the time that Mar
garet ran into the street. After the first
instant of surprise had passed general
alarm of fire was raised. This cry reached
the officers in the police station and the
fremen of truck No. 10. a few doors west
on West Chicago avenue. BY this time a
number of men had tried to catch the
woman. Officers and fremen with hand
chemicals Joined in the attempt. Women
tainted at the sight and strong men turned
their faces away. She first ran north, then
back again almost ito Chicago avenue.
where she again turned and continued her
flight until in front Of her place of employ

Here she circled round and ronnd like a

every inch of her body from her head to
her feet. The few tatters of her clothes
that still hung to her body crumbled away
as she was being picked up and her shoes

all he could to allay her. terrible agonies.

and advised that she be taken to the county

He there secured a gun and shot Mrs.
Leech through the back portion of the

his recovery. Robbery was the incentive
OF the crime, but Mcclure secured only $40.

BURNED SHE RAN
Frightful Scene on a Crowded
Chicago Street.
A YOUNG GIRLS RACE WITH DEATH.

Afiame from Head TO Foot She Speeds
Along Until Exhausted and Dying, Her
Clothes Burned OF and Her Flesh
Roasted-Five Hours of Agony Relieved
by Death-Graphic Description of the
Sickening Event-vain Efforts of the
Firemen.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-The sight of young
gip enveloped in flames from head to foot
running along the street with hands eX-
tended and screaming for some one to save
her was witnessed by pedestrians and resi-
dents in the neighborhood of West Chi
cago and Milwaukee avenues last night.
The speed with which she ran famed the
flames into such fierceness that scarcely a
vestige of her clothes remained when she
was picked from the middle of the street
half-conscious Those who witnessed the
awful sight were so Mortified that scarcely
hand was lifted to assist her. She sank
to the ground from sheer exhaustion and
because the destroying element had
wrought such frightful injuries that, al
though frenzied with fear, she was unable
to proceed further in her desperate race
from death.
Was Soon to Have Been a Bride.
The unfortunate woman's name was
Margaret Osterkamp. She was employed
as a domestic in the family of Charles
Kindlers, baker, at 4S5 Milwaukee ave-
nue.. In few weeks she was to have be-
como the bride of Henry Weise, of 81 Fay
street. The only words that she uttered
after she had been carried into Kindler's
house from the street were in a request
that Henry" be sent for. 1t was Henry
that she called on continually during the
five hours of agony that followed her awful
experience and it was that name that rested
on her lips when death relieved her suffer
ings.
Cooking Supper at the Time.
Exactly how her clothes caught fire no
one will ever know. She was cooking sup
per for the family at the time, and there
was no one else in the kitchen but her mis-
tress' infant boy. The front room of the
house is occupied by a store kept by Mr..
Kindlers. Between it and the kitchen is a
narrow hall flanked by bedrooms. 1t was
in the doorway of this hall entering into
the store that Miss Osterkamp was first
seen by any members of the family after
her clothing had caught fire. The store
was filled with customers at the time
Mrs. Kindlers was waiting upon them, her
husband being away. The little stuffy
storeroom was but dimly lighted. The
Pickering rays of one oil lamp produced all
the light by which Mrs. Kindlers made her
sales.
The Customers Panic-StrNck.
When the hall door was pushed open by
Margaret and she stood there in the center
of column of fire that filled the narrow
hallway Mrs. kindlers' customers fed into
the street horror-stricken and she herself
was transfXed to the floor. The weird
sight looked more like manifestation of
the supernatural than human being
meeting her fate. Mrs Kindlers did not
realize what she saw until Margaret ran
across the store and back through the bed
room into the kitchen, screaming as she
ran, "Mrs. Kindlers, save me. Firel Fire."
Mrs. Kindlers followed her back to the
kitchen, and as she ran after her snatched
blanket from one of the beds.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-When the property

hauled by his executors they found $500, 900
in gold coin. The purpose of the old mil
Gonaire in keeping such large amount of
money lying idle will probably neverdbe
definitely known, but is generally conceded
to have been because he knew gold was
safe to be worth it's "face," while be was
afraid of silver and paper under the manip-
ulati1n of a congressional majority.
