Paderewski Opens Music Hall in an
Arctic Temperature.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Ignace J. Pader-
ewski consecrated Music Hall at Jack
son Park He did it yesterday in the
presence of the most unique audience
he ever faced collection of people
who shivered and shook in the Arctic
blasts, pent up in the building since the
time when winter was strong They
sat with their hats on, men and women;
buttoned tight their coats, drew up
their collars, and ran foot.races in the
corridors to keep their toes warm.
They applauded with might and main
to keep up circulation, and chased
about to find places which the echoes
had not discovered The folks in the
galleries looked like lone fishermen
with section apiece.
Mr.. Paderewski did not wear gloves
when he was playing, lie took them
off just before coming from behind the
stage. He had not yet doffed his
winter clothing, and anyway his vigo-
rous manner would supply him heat,
which the two redhot saamanders did
not. The salamanders were part of
the stage decorations, sort of central
figures, about which green bay tire, $
and azaleas were arranged with more
or less artistic effect. Tney did not
have any stovepipes and the out-of-
town audience spent the time between
the numbers wondering where the
smoke went and how he combed that
hair.
Mr., Paderewski had a magnificent
orchestra to assist him in the consecra-
tion-an aggregation of artists selected
from music centers. 1t was a terrific

BERLIN, July 1.-THE kaiser and his

The efforts to send the bill to COM

New YORK. July 14.-Police Inspector
Mclaughlin has learned from Detroit,
Mich, of the arrest there of DIR. Henry
r. W. Myer and his wife, who are want
ed here as well as in other large cities
in the United States for poisoning peo-
pie that they might get insurance
money on their victims lives. So far
there is only one case against the prls-
oners here, but it is strong one. and
for that reason a strong effort will be
made to bring Myer and his wife to this
city for trial.
After a long search the detectives
found that Mrs Baum was in reality
the wife of DR.. Henry Myer, who was
also known under the alias of Henry
Reuter-, and Hugo Mayler. The woman,
the detectives say, made business of
getting married, persuading her hus-
band to insure his life, and then accom-
plishing his death by poison. During
the investigation DIR. Myer and his wife
left the city, but they were finally To-
Gated in Detroit, Mich. 1t is said she
has piled her murderous trade in that
city and that no less than five deaths
are laid to her door. The police feel
sure that further search in this city
will show even a greater number OF

late at Cornwall. four miles south of
here. and was running very fast. When
it reached the switch, which connects

the engine picked up, it is supposed,
loose object, which caused it to jump up
on a frog and leave the track. 1t ran upon
the ties, distance equal to the length
of the train and then crashed into
freight train standing in the yard. The
crash WAS terrific. The freight train
was being made up to start south and
was waiting for the express to pass
The freight engine was in charge OF
Fred Holland. The express engine was
evidently further off the track than
the remainder of the train and when
it struck the freight engine it was
thrown to one side and the tender torn
from it
The first coach was filled with pas
sengers, every seat being occupied.
Nearly all the casualties occurred IN
this car 1t swayed to one side and
struck the projecting end of box-car
standing on n side-traclS. The entire
side of the coach was ripped off and the
end nearest the smoker was smashed.
All the killed were on that side.
-Four women and child were found
dead in the wreck. About twenty per-
sons were seriously injured.
There were about dozen persons in
the smoking car and they nearly all
escaped injury.

several of the larger banks it was said
that considerable amounts of currency
have been received. One large Broad

and gold from the country.
As an indication of the easier condi-

MANY country banks were renting
currency here and getting back some or
their bills receivable, which they had
discounted here three or four weeks
ago, taking advantage, of course, OF
the rebate in the discount for the I'M

it was said that the demands from out
of town customers for accommodation
were lighter than they had been for
weeks. Many of the large uptown
banks reported that they. had
all the currency they wanted, and
the president of one well known insti-

OF SlOO.O of currency in return for

ROBBED AT NOON.
Bandits Rob the Mound valley bank n
the Noon Hour.

MOUND VALLEY, Kan, July IA
Three men, who are believed to be
members of the notorious Starr band
of desperadoes, swept down upon the
Mound Valley bank at noon yesterday,
bound and gagged the cashier, D. U.
Wilson, went through the money draw
ers and safe and escaped with $500 OF
stolen money.
The robbery was an unusually bold
one.
At the time of the robbery little bus
mess was going on in the town, such
being usually the case at the dinner
hour Cashier Wilson was at his desk
looking over some papers when man
entered rear door with hurried strides
and, thrusting a revolver in his face, or
dered him to throw up his hands. AT the
same instant two men entered the front
door. and. Selling the cashier, soon had
him bound and gagged.
While the robbers were looking
through the money drawer and safe
one of them confidentially remarked to
Wilson:
Guess you've heard of Starr, amt
you?"
The cashier nodded.
well, Starr sed once that he ham
kered to do little biz up in this SEQ
ton, but jes now he's confined to his
room. Fac is, you. know, they've got
him nailed over at Fort Smith" The
robbers chuckled over this grim bit of
humor and the garrulous bandit went
| on, as he ransacked the cash drawer:
1--WE need this stuff to get Henry
Starr out, and we're going to get him
out"
| After securing all the available cash
in the bank, about $500 in all, one OF
the bandits inquired of the cashier:
! You're hired to work here, amt you,
pardner?'
| Wilson nodded.
"Guess we won't touch you, then for
what you've on" said the robber. I'VE
could rob YOU, but we don't want to do
that. You can't stand it as well as
Condor, who owns the bank.
The robbery was very quietly done,
and the robbers were far out of town
before Cashier Wilson was able to give
the alarm. They headed toward the
Indian territory, which is only four
teen miles distant. kilograms were
sent toneighborhood towns and Banker
Condor offered a reward of $1,000 for
the capture of the men.

PROPOSITION REJECTED.
The Coal Operators to Be Fought to the
Bitter End.

PIrrsBuRG. Kan, July 12.-In con-
vention of lis delegates, representing
1900 striking coal miners, held mere
only one voted to accept the PROPOSE
ton of the operators, to return TO WORK
at 81 cents per ton for rough-ano-
tumble coal. And they furthermore
unanimously agreed to hold out LOT
their demand of 81 cents in summer
and 30 cents in winter.
The Kansas & Texas Coal 20. began
serving notices on the miners MONDAY
that they must either vacate theIr
shanties or return to work. Inc mat
ter has been turned over to the sherlH
of this county and five deputies nave
been sworn to enforce the orders The
operators said the sheriff must have
backbone, but these Kansas miners
found another way out of the difficulty.
They agreed in meeting to quietly
walk out of their shanties when the
limit of the notice had been reached
and begin living in tents.
VIII the miners supply these tents?
Not much!
1.-THE state of Kansas has enough
tents to house all the miners evicted
from their homes" said President Wal
tiers at the conclusion of the meeting.
After the adjournment of the eXecu-
tive committee, President Walters, in
explaining more fully his plans for
raising funds to support the miners,
said: I'VE have received notice from
the headquarters of our national or
panization at Columbus, o., that
enough notes would be issued by it to
meet any expenses we might incur III
this strike These notes will run from
$40 to SIS, and we have already received
assurances from the farmers that they
will give us produce of all kinds and
cattle in exchange for them. We will
not call the Missouri miners out until
August, at which time they will walk
out to a man just as the Kansas miners
have. l received to-day a dispatch
from our organizer in Arkansas stating
that a meeting would be held in Fort
Smith tomorrow, at which action
would be taken in regard to the Kansas
strike. Iexpect this move of the GOA
miners to result in operators importing
negro miners at once. If they do our mer
will not modest them. WewiI let the
companies whip themselves with thesi
men. Heretofore our strikes have
failed because the imported men were
protected by the militia and the miner:
could not get at them to talk will
them. If negroes are sent here we vii
employ negroes to work in the mine:
along with them and organize them.

he has not been seen for five years he

The address contains 1000 words The
history of the silver legislation of the
past twenty years is reviewed. and the
address continues:
