THREE DEAD AND EIGHTY SICK.
Distressing Illness Follows a Wedding
Feast at Sabula.

Distressing Illness Follows Wedding
Feast at Sabula.
SABULA, Ia, Oct. S.-The singularly
distressing illness among the guests at
the wedding Of John Taplaw and Anna
Gage is still occupying the attention Of
the medical fraternity of this city and
other cities, but so far no physician has
been able to correctly diagnose the dis
ease. Three deaths have occurred and
80 persons are confined to their beds and
several Of these are not expected to live.
The dead are:
GEORGE BRYANT, Sterling, Ills.
FLORENCE WALKER.
- FLAKE.
Those not expected to live:
S. E. Day, mayor of Sabula.
James Dynes
Mrs. James Dynes.
William III. Berner.
Mrs. William H. Berner.
j. d. Gage.
John Taplaw.
DIR. Maskery.
w. G. Newsome.
w. G.. Scarbough.
Mrs. w. G. Scarbough.
Some of the victims show every
symptom of trichinosis, yet the ordinary
treatment fails to eradicate the disease
or allay the fever with which it is &C
companied. They appear to be afflicted
with pomane and the antidotes admin
istered in case of mineral poison have
not the slightest tendency to check the
illness. The fact that most of the VIC
Tins were not stricken until after
partaking of the wedding feast, furnishes
another surprise to the physicians.
There are % cases in Sabula. In the
surrounding country Of Jackson county
are 90 or 60 more patients. The
symptoms are alike in every case. Jack
son county is terror stricken. Those
who are not already i'll, are apprehen-
sive of more seizures and fear no medi.
Cal assistance can relieve them Those
who are not i'll, but were at the we'd
ding, are fearful that the disease will
soon assert itself ON them. The outside
physicians called in are as much in the
dark as the local doctors. It has
transpired that after the meats which
were served at the feast had been cooked,
the wedding had been postponed four
days. In that interval the weather was
warm and the meats became tainted

HYPNoTIzED HIS scHooLMATEs
Boy OF 16 Yields the Power Over Younger
BOYS at School.


Boy of 16 Yields the Power Over Younger
Boys at School.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Oct. IA sensa-
ton has been created in this city by the
discovery that a 16-year-old boy has
been acting as an hypnotist and using
the younger boys of the school in Gen.
trail park for subjects. When Professor
Roche gave series of hypnotic enter
tainments at the opera house this boy,
whose name is Elliott, was one of his
subjects, and he has since been practic-
ing the art with considerable success.
1t is learned that he has had the 10
year-old son of neighbor hypnotized
almost daily for a month past His
parents have noticed his peculiar actions,
and supposed it was due to ill health,
but it is now learned that he was under
hypnotic influence which had not been
properly removed by the manipulation.
Young Elliott has even extended his
efforts to the placing of his subjects in a
cataleptic condition, and a few days
ago, with the assistance of several other
boys, he put 10-year-old lad in cata-
leptic condition and suspending him
upon two chairs broke rock on his
body weighing over 100 pounds.

Dies MONIES, Oct. 9.-The executive
committee of the state temperance alli-
ance has decided upon crusade to Sc
cure the strict enforcement of the mulct
law, especially in the river cities, where
few of them are observed. The alliance

where liquor is sold, and to secure the
closing of all places where the strict re-
quirements of the law as to hours of
closing, the absence of chairs, etc., are
not observed.

Case at Des Moines That Does Not Seem
One of Suicide.

One of Suicide.
DIES MONIES, Oct 8.-The inquest
over the body Of Jacob Hendrickson is
in progress. Hendrickson's body was
found hanging under railroad bridge,
but the suicide theory was not borne
out by circumstances. The jury has
found witnesses who had heard screams
as of a woman on the bridge in the
middle of the night. Others saw a
hack drive up to the bridge and unload
something that might have been body.
1t has also been found that Hendrick-
son had considerable sum of money ON
his person shortly before he disappeared.
Several hairs from woman head We're
found on the rope with which he was
hung. Mrs. Anna Taylor, a colored
woman, has been arrested for compiled
ty in the deed, and it is probable a muir
der for money will develop.

Shaft of Lightning Wrecks the En-
tire Telephone System of
the City.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. As the re-
suit of veritable deluge which set in
last night at 8 p. n. and continued until
o'clock this morning, this city was
flooded and thousands of dollars worth
of property has been destroyed, besides
the Inconvenience of suspended street
car transportation and telephone COM
munication.
The business portion Of the city was
soon flooded because of the inability of
the sewers and streets to carry the
water away. At o'clock reports began
coming into the central police station
of great damage in various portions of
the city. 1t was nearly o'clock be-
fore south side street car could be
moved. In the neighborhood of Pine
and Washington streets a lake of water
appeared, and no less than a dozen fam
lilies had to be rescued by the police.
The water in many Of the Easements
along Washington and Pennsylvania
streets was five and six feet deep. Many
of these Easements were used as sales
rooms and the damage is very great.
At daylight the lightning started a
fire in the telephone exchange building,
corner Of Illinois and Ohio streets, and
the entire system was burned out, re-
sulting in extensive loss. Several other
fires were started by the storm, but
were extinguished before material loss
was sustained. Up to o'clock this

CALL OUT PUMP MEN.
Strikers Succeed in Temporarily De-
laying Work at the Buffalo
Mine.

Negaunee, Mich, Sept. 5.-[Special. /
The engineers, fremen and pumpmen
at the Buffalo mines were called out last
night by the miners union. The fires
under the boilers were allowed to die
out and the pumps remained idle all
night New men were engaged this
morning and the pumps are again in op-
GRAFTON.
The mining companies of Ishpeming
and Negaunee are determined to do such
deem absolutely necessary, and in view
of the fact that Iaborers are not obtain
able here they have decided to bring
some in from outside. Eighteen men ar
rived from Minneapolis yesterday. They
were escorted from the depot to the
mines under military protection. Sew
eral hundred strikers followed the sol
diers and strangers, jeering at the latter
and splitting in their faces, calling them
''scabs and lacklegs."
After learning the true situation of
affairs several of the new men refused
to work. They said they were led to
believe that the strike had been settled.
Several men are expected from outside
today, and the mine managers say more
will follow later.
Manager Fred Braastad of the Win
throp mine last evening granted his men
the full scale of wages demanded by the
union and the organization has consent
ed to allow the men to return to work.
Only the open pit. where about 100 men
are employed, will be operated at pres
ent. Work in the underground mines
will not be resumed for week or ten
days. Steam shovel work will be re-
sumed at once and the total force en-
ployed will be about $50.

STRIKERS GET EXCITED.
Manager Cole of the Buffalo Mine
was the Object of Their
Wrath,

Negaunee, Mich, Sept. 4.-[Special /
The most exciting incident since the min
ers' strike began occurred here last night.
James Finley, deliveryman for t. NJ.
Wells, a local merchant, went to the
Buffalo mine with supplies for the sol
diers camping there. He was elected
from the premises by Manager Cole of
the Buffalo company, who claims Finley
msulted him. Finley returned to town and
complained to his father of the treatment
he had received. Mr. Finley, ST.. had
a warrant sworn out for Coles arrest.
The warrant was placed in the hands
of Marshal Rough, who refused to serve
it. Many strikers insisted upon the of
ticer's serving the papers.
AT $50 O'Clock, as the marshal went
to Coles home to make the arrest, he
was followed by a mob of several hun
dred people. Cole came out and accom-
panied the marshal to the Jail. The mob
followed kissing and jeering the prison,
er. At the jail Richard FIannigan OF
Norway, attorney for the Buffalo COM
pany, Mayor Foley and Judge Carey
came to the front and talked to the ex-
tied miners. They urged them to keep
.o9l and not violate the law. After a
w minutes Foley and Carey succeed
ii in getting the crowd away from the
jail and when the excitement was sub
dued Cole and Flanagan, under police
guard returned to Coles home. Foley
and Carey talked to the strikers for some
time and an hour later the gathering
dispersed.
Col Lyon had three companies in readi-
ness to move promptly to Negaunee in
case of violence. The Cheboygan COM
pany is on duty at the Buffalo mines.
The shovels at Ishpeming are working
steadily and the operators or soldiers
have not yet met with any resistance

SATOLLI'S SUCCESSOR.
An Italian will be Named if the Able
gate Becomes a Car
dinal.

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 5.-Regarding
the elevation of Mgr. Satolli to a Cardi-
nalate, DR.. O'Gorman of the Washing
ton university said today: Nobody
knows anything about this matter-+not
even the ablegate himself save the
Pope, and he is not in the habit of Civ
ing out such information to The press
long before the occurrence takes place.
My personal opinion is that the monsig
nor will probably be made cardinal
in the near future, but just when, of
course, no one can tell. After this great
honor has been conferred upon him he
will remain in this country for some
flme-perhaps few months, until his
successor is named. 1t would not sur
prise me to see him made a cardinal
while still in America.
Mgr. SatOlli's successor will decidedly
not be an American. His successor will
be an Italian. AS in the case of ambas-
sailors from any land, the Pope, who is
an Italian. sends as his ambassador an
ltalian-one who is thoroughly in touch
with his own ideas and with the central
government of the church. Such {; 0nc
comes perfectly independent and un+ranl-
meled and free to exercise his judgment
in all matters pertaining to the welfare
and government of the church. An Amer
lean prelate, While he might be the best
and ablest of men. would necessarily be
handicapped and hampered in the dis
charge of his duties by reason of his
previous environments. The next able
gate will be an Italian

INTER TRADES UNIONS.
Talk Of English and American
Labor Forces Joining
Hands.

Cardiff. Sept 5.-At the session of the
Trades congress today the parliamentary
committee was instructed to urge upon
Parliament the passage of bill declaring
for the principle of payment of salaries
to members of the House of Commons.
Mr.. Sexton, a delegate from Liverpool,
in secOnding a motion for the adoption Of
a resolution in favor of prohibition Of
landing Of pauper aliens, said that he
wished to include within the scope of
the resolution royal paupers, who ar
rived without visible means of subsist-
ence, but WHO soon found them. These,
Mr.. Sexton said, were the men who con-
trolled the empire, while the poor British
taxpayers had no rights at all.
Messrs. Samuel Gompers and 2. J.
Mcguire. who represent the United States
in the Congress- We're given a hearty re-
ception at this afternoons session. Presl-
dent Jenkins, in welcoming the American
delegates, said that although geographical
ly divided, the workers Of America, Great
Britain and Ireland were united on ali
the important questions pertaining to the
elevation of their class.
Mr.. GOmperS said further that Amer
lea had many difficulties to contend with,
but that it would be cowardice on the
part of wage workers to defer the strug-
gle, Tor the longer the contest was post
poned the fercer and more intense would
it become. By the coming congress,
Mr.. Gompers said, he hoped to see the
bond of labOr's inter-solidarity strength
ened. with labor united, swords shall
be beaten into plowshares and spears
into pruning hooks" and nation shall
not lift UP sword against nation, nor
shall they learn war any more"
Mr.. GOmpers added that he hoped to
be instrumental in bringing up closer re-
lations between the British and Ameri-
can organizations.
Mr. Mcguire, in responding to the adj
dress of welcome, said that he had
crossed the ocean in the name of Ameri-
can labor to convey to those present
an expression of fervent good wishes
from their fellow-strugglers in America.
He regarded Great Britain as the alma
mater of trades unionism.
The congress voted it's thanks to the
American delegates for their addresses.
The Americans were also presented with
medals commemorative of their visit.
The congress then sang "For They Are
Jolly Good Fellows with great enthusi
