SPOIL THEIR PLANS
GIGANTIC ANARCHISTIC PLOT UN-
EARTHED IN VIENNA.
STARTLING DISCOVERIES GROW
OUT OF ARRESTS.
The Police Arrest Leaders and Seize
Many Dynamite Bombs-The Czech
Agitation in Bohemia Believed to
Be a Part of the Widespread Con-
spiracy.

Vienna, Sept. 25.-The arrest Satur-
day of anarchists here and the capture
yesterday Of sixty-eisht members of Il
secret society at Bruenn, the capital
of Moravia, has revealed the eNiStance
of 4 widespread anarchistic plot. To
day seven more members of the gang
were taken into custody and the proof
against them is said to be oyerwhelm-
ing.
All are Known to be anarchists a
the worst type. Among the mass of
papers seized were documents showing
beyond doubt that the members Of
the club were affiliated with Il Bohemi-
an secret society known as the Omla-
dina.
The police got an irkling of the ex-
istance of the conspiracy through Il
brawl that occurred between anarch-
lists and certain advanced socialists.
the trouble growing out of the refusal
of the latter to assist in causing the
explosions. The clue this gained was
closely followed, with the result that
the anarchists who were maquerading
rs members of literary society were
captured.
1t is charged that the Czech agitation
in Bohemia, and the consequent sus-
pension of the constitutional law in
Prague and the towns in the vicinity
had much to do with the existence of
the plot, although there is as yet no
evidence to connect any of the Czech
leaders with the conspiracy.
1t is more probable that the an
archists were about to take advantage
of the political turmoil in Bohemia to
start Il campaign of terror against the
government.
Among the men arrested is 4 leading
manufacturer of bombs who lives in
Prague and an anarchist named Stulka
who is well known to the police.
In Stulka'S room We're found rolls Of
zinc and lead and glass and metal
cylinders.
The police declare that the conspiracy
is the most formidable plot the anar-
chiStS have ever concocted in Vienna.
Every one of the men arrested had in
his possession bombs or cartridges
ready for use. The discovery has
caused much excitement in official cir
cle>. The police are searching in every
direction for other members of the
gang. 1t is, believed, however, that the
arrests have ctfcctually put an end to
the operations of the cOnSpiratOrS

"ARMOUR AS A SPECULATOR. :"

In the grain and provision market
at Chicago, Armour has time and again
proved himself the greatest manipu-
lator of these times. His notable
great pork deal which lasted two years
and made him the best advertised mer-
chant in the world is well remembered.
The conditions then in provisions are
quite similar to the conditions now
in wheat and as Armour is said to own
80 per cent. of the wheat in store in
Chicago, the conditions are favorable
for as great a deal in wheat, as Ar
mour's great pork deal. If you desire
to keep posted and take advantage of
the coming rise in the wheat market,
write F. c. Van Wink,e & Co., 236 La
Sale St, Chicago, for their book or
Speculation and How to Trade" which
is sent free on receipt Of stamp.

GERMAN ARMY TRAGEDY.
Petty Officer Kills His Guard and Com
mits Suicide.

Berlin, Sept. 25.-Considerable eX-

the troops in garrison by the tragic
death of two petty officers. Sergeant
Wagemann, of the Fusiliers, was drunk
this morning. Knowledge of the fact
coming to his superior officers he was
ordered to be placed under arrest and
Sergeant KambOuSky was detailed to
guard him. Wagemann Was ugly and
made many threats, but little or no at
tention was paid to them. Through
carelessness when Wagemann was ar
rested his revolver was not taken from
him and when the opportunity offered
he shot Sergeant Kambousky, killing
him almost instantly. Wagemam then
shot and killed himself.
