Two Men Killed and Score Injured
in a Street Car Collision
in Chicago.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 12.-Three cars of a
Milwaukee avenue cable train slid over the
pavement crest into the Washington street
tunnel a few minutes after 6, O'Clock last
night. They were choked to the doors with
merry crowds of home going clerks and
statesmen. A hundred shop girls just out
of work were laughing and chattering gay
ly and joking the conductor as be worned
his tedious way through the car. Sudden
ly something gave way with snap like
the report of a pistol. The car quivered.
The gripman seized his emergency lever
and wrenched it back, at the same time
changing the alarm signal.
In the middle Of the tunnel was Madi-
son street train and into this the runaway
cars crashed, grinding them into kindling
wood A binding cloud of dust rose up
and then came shouts of terror and agony
of the passengers who lay crushed in the
ruins. The iron gates at the outside of
the platforms still stood fast, making es-
cape from within impossible
Two perosns were killed and score or
more injured, many very seriously. The
names Of the dead are:
MORRIS SMITH, SIS KedZie avenue.

A REIGN OF BLOOD.
The Horrible Atrocities at Port Ar
thur We're a Stain on Japanese
Civilization.

New York, Dec. PA special cable dis
patch to the World from Yokohama says
the japanese troops entered Port Arthur
on November q and massacred almost
the entire population in cold blood. The
defenSeless and unarmed inhabitants were
butchered in their houses and their bodies
were unspeakably mutilated. There was
an unrestrained reign of murder which
continued for three days. The whole
town was plundered, with appalling atroci-
ties. 1t was the first stain upon japanese
civilization. The japanese in this in
stance relapsed into barbarism.
ALI pretenses that circumstances justi-
fed the atrocities are false. The civilized
world will be Mortified by the details. The
foreign correspondents, Mortified by the
spectacle, left the army in a body.
The following statement was issued
from the japanese legation today:
The Japanese minister expresses the
strongest disbelief in the reports Of the
by the Japanese troops at Port Arthur. He
does not hesitate to denounce as unqualified
ly false the statement contained in one
account telegraphed from Yokohama that
there was unrestrained murder at Port
Arthur for three days after it's capture and
that practically all of the inhabitants were
butchered in cold blood. The reputation of
Marshal Oyama, whose orders to his troops
against excess of any kind were Of the
stricteSt nature and the discipline main
tanned in the Japanese army in his opinion
renders such a state of things impossible.
He believes therefore that these reports are
exaggerated and thinks that the official
report of what really happened which will
certainly be made public, will prove them

One Theory as to the Mysterious
Disappearance Of the Schultz
Children.
NO TRACE OF THE LITTLE ONES
Over 900 Men and Boys Continue
the Search-Maupun Man
Found Dead.

Waupun, Wis, Dee. 14.-No trace of
Mr.. Schultz's missing children has yet
been found, although the search has been
kept up constantly since last Tuesday.
Nearly 200 people are out today and ev-
cry place where there is a possibility of
the children having lost themselves is be-
ing searched. Farmers have left their la
bors to join in the hunt and nearly every
boy at school is assisting in the task.
There is no body of water within a mile
of the Schultz home and no woods in
which they might have strayed. This
fact makes the case all the more mystic
rious. An impression is gaining ground
that the children have been kidnapped,
although the majority of the people here
dscredit the theory. The most reasona-
BILE theory is that the children have fallen
into a ditch, and being unable to eXtricate
themselves, persisted from the cold. Ev-
cry ditch il the vicinity is being thor
oughIy searched. When the little ones dis
appeared it was showing and it is possible
that they dropped in some fence corner
from exhaustion. There is very little
snow on the ground now, however.
A report was received here at 2:30
o'clock that the children had been found
ten miles south of this city, but the ru-
NOR could not be verified. 1t $50 o'clock
word was received from party of search
ers that no trace of the children had been
found, but that the hunt would be contin-
ued. Somwhat of a sensation was ere
ated here this afternoon by report that
the children had been foully dealt with.
The story is doubtless groundless.
Fox Lake, Wis, Dee. 1.-the mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
the two Schultz children is still unsolved.
The parents reside on a farm four miles
east of this place and on Monday after
noon, the little ones, aged ) and 5 years
respectively, started up the road, hand
in hand to meet the older children on
their return from school. No person can
be found who even saw the lost children
after leaving their own home. Some de-
lay occurred Monday night after the chill
dren were missed before a search was
made and no general alarm was given
until Tuesday, when a large 1r1mber of
farmers turned out to assist in the work.
Since that time systematic search has
been kept up and it is estimated that 200
people from the country and village have
been assisting in the hunt. So far not
even a piece of clothing or anything to
give the faintest clue has been found.
The fact that the whole township is
thickly settled and entirely devoid of
timber, enabling the searching parties
TO inspect every foot of ground makes
the disappearance of these children a
most puzzling mystery.

A WOMAN'S HEART.
ONE DISEASE THAT BATTLES
THE PHYSICIAN.

The Story of "A Woman Who Suffered
for Nine Years-How She Was Cured.
From the Newark N. j., Evening News.)
ValYular disease of the heart has al
ways been considered incurable The fol-
lowing interview, therefore will interest
the medical profession, since it describes
the successful use of q new treatment for
this disease. The patient is Mrs. Geo.
Archer, of Clifton, n. j., and this publ
cation by the News is the first mention of
the case made by any newspaper. All
physicians consulted pronounced the pa
tient suffering with valvular disease of
the heart, and treated her without the
slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: Il
could not walk across the floor; neither
could | go up stairs without stopping TO
let the pain in my chest and left arm
cease. l felt an awful construction about
my arm and chest as though | were tied
with ropes. Then there was a terrible
noise at my right ear, like the labored
breathing of some great animal. l have
often turned expecting to see some crea-
ture at my side.
Last July" continued Mrs. Archer, 81
was at Springfield, Mass, visiting, and
my mother showed me an account in the
Springfield Examiner, telling of the won
dertul cures effected by the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. My
mother urged me to try the pills, and on
November 10Th last / bought a box and
DeSin UdK1DS them, ana L nave Deon tax
ing them ever since, except for short in
terval. The first box did not seem to ben
eht me, but l persevered encouraged by
the requests of my relatives. After begin
ming on the second box, to my wonder, the
noise at my right ear ceased entirely. /
kept right on, and the distress that | used
to feel i'll my chest and arm gradually dis
! appeared. The blood has returned to my
face, lips and ears, which were entirely
devoid of color, and | feel we'll and strong
again
"My son, too, had been troubled with
gastritis, and l induced him to try the
Pink Pills, with great benefit. feel that
| everybody ought to know of my wonder
full cure, and | bless God that I have
found something that has given me this
great relief"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are now given
to the public as an unfailing blood builder
and nerve restOrer, curing all forms of
weakness arising from a watery condition
of the blood or shattered nerves, two
fruitful causes of most every i'll that flesh
is heir to. These pills are also q specific
for the troubles peculiar to females, such
as suppressions, all forms of weakness,
chronic constipation, bearing down pains,
ETC., and in the case of men will give
speedy relief and effect permanent cure
in all cases arising from mental worry,
overWOrk, or excuses of whatever ma
| ture. The pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid on receipt of price,
go cents a box, or 6 boxes for So. 90

HENVIS HAS A HEARING.
SuDerior Man Accused of Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses.


West Superior, Wis, Dee. 13.-The pre-
Iiminary examination Of Joseph G. Henvls,
charged with obtaining money under false
pretenses, came up yesterday in the
municipal court The defense asked for
a further adjournment but it was de-
MED. The first witness for the state was
Ole Johnson one of the mem who claim
to have been defrauded. He told how
himself and Martin Rusztad came over
from Duluth on June 9, 1893, for the
purpose of making a final payment ON lots
26, 81 and %, Midway addition. They
had been dealing with W. NJ Nichols,
who sold the property to them and to
whom they made the first payment They
found Mr.. Henyis occupying the office,
ever which hung a real estate sign, and
were informed that, though Mr.. Nichols
was in Indiana, Mr.. Henvis was '1doing
the business.'' They thereupon, after a
little talk, paid over 1922 and took re-
ceipt signed James Kasson, by Joseph
c.. Henvis" The money, Johnson said,
Henvis had promised to forward to ST.
Paul, and that their notes anI mortga ges
would be re5urned satisfied. That, how
ever, was not dome, and the partners in
tie deal were compelled to make the pay
ment a second tiIne. The receipt given
by Mr. HenMs was offered m evidence.
Henvis was. brought here from Phila-
deIphia two weeks ago for trial. 1t is
expected the testimony will be ALI liza this

DR.. BRETT WITHDRAWS.
He Will Not be Candidate for State
IRSueCtOr.

Breet has withdrawn from the race for
the state oil inspectorship. Today he
mailed q letter to Gov.-elect Upham
This leaves the field clear for Mayor Levi
Rowland of Fort Howard and w. J.
Thomas, freight auditor of the Green
Bay, Winona & st. Paul road. Neither
one expected to have a good show. Brown
county, though recognized to have good
claim for recognition in the matter of
state appointments, spoiled her chances
by presenting too many candidates. The
powers near the throne concede that the
appointment would have come here If the
county endorsement had been united on
one man. OMAR Harder is believed to
be the coming local oil inspector. The
state inspectorship will undoubtedly go to
Dr.. Tanner Of Kaukauna.

BOLD THEFT AT MENOMINEE.
Drafts to the Amount of $1,000 Mysteri

Menominee, Mich, Dec. 13.-A big haul
was made by thieves here on Tuesday
The money was in the form Of two drafts,
and it was taken from the pocket of Percy
Shepard, book-keeper for the firm of
Penberthy, Cook & Co. The thieves
who succeeded in getting the paper tried
to have it cashed at local clothing house,
but were refused, as the drafts were not
signed. The signature to the Chicago
parties can be forged, and it is feared that
the criminals will get out of town and
succeed in cashing them somewhere else.
One of the drafts was for $500 in favor
of Mclaughlin of Chicago, and the other
of $1OO drawn for Milwaukee party.
