1T WAS BLOOD.
The Dark Stain on the Pastors
Study Door.


San Francisco, April PA new discov-
cry in the Durrant case has been made.
When the body of Minnie Williams was
found in Emanuel church. in searching
for traces of the murderer, the police and
reporters found dark stain on the door
of Rev. Dr. Gibsons private study, TO
which he only. so far as known, had
kew. The police decided that the stain
was merely varnish and paid no furthes
attention to it. Today, however, an Elk
aminer reporter shaved off portion OF
the supposed varnish stain. and micro
scopic examina ton showed that 1t was
blood instead of varnish. The mark on
the door looked as If it had been causec
by flirting a wet cloth against it, and
was about eighteen inches from the floor
The supposition is that the murderer. IN
going into the study or attempting to
enter it, brushed his bloody clothes
against the door and left the stain.

A QUEER CASE.
Another Illustration of the Saying,
"NO Fool Like nm Old FOol.o


New York, April 24.-Chief of Police
Donovan, of Hoboken, was appealed to in
singular manner last night.
Miss Helena Rauch, who is so years
old, and whose home is i'll Chicago,
wanted the chief to compel young man,
Richard Elso, to accompany her TO Chi
cago. Miss Rauch is said to be rich.
Last November she went to Leipsic to
spend the winter. While at hotel there
she fell in love with Elso,. a young man
who was the bookkeeper of the establish
ment. Despite the disparity of their
ages, she and Elso arranged 10 return 10
Chicago together and be married. When
hey arrived in Hoboken, Elso said he
liked the town and refused to go to
Chicago. He was still willing TO marry
Miss Rauch, he said, but she would not
consent TO the ceremony unless he would
accompany her to Chicago, as he had
agreed.
Donovan told Miss Rauch that there
was no law to compel Mr.: Elso to go to
Chicago against his will. The couple
are still at the hotel with little proba-
bility of reaching an agreement.

FORE THE COMMISSION.
Monroe Admits That Rates From
Denver Are Too High, and Thinks
the Chicago Rate Should Be

from railroad officials the reasons for

first witness today, frankly conceded,

to Denver the same freight rate to the
coast as is enjoyed by. Chicago.
]. w. Nesmith, manufacturer of mining
and milling machinery, next presented a
complaint. He said his industry had
been built up slowly from small Begin
nings, and he had built many smelters in
the west in competition with eastern
manufacturers. He did not ask unreason-
ably low rates, the raw material for his
establishment being right at hand in

Missouri river points should be open

but that was out of the question, because

a great manufacturing and distributing
center.
