MICHIGAN's B%ENEFACTOR,
AN OFT REPEATED STORY OF
TRUE PHILANTHROPY.

what Chas. II. Hackley Has Done for
Western Michigan.
tfrom Grand Rapids, Mich, Eueni.p Press,)
The most beautiful spot in all this city
is lnseparably associated with the name
OF ttacklcy. Chns. H. Huckley has been
IN the lumber business here continuously
since loo6, and i'll that time has amassed
a fortune which gives him Il rating among
the wealthy men of the nation. But with
wealth there did not come that tightening
Oh the purse strings which is generally II
marked characteristics of wealthy men.
II - no wonder. then, that the name of
Charles III; Hackley is known at homo and
abroad. His muniiicence TO MuSkegon
alone represents an outlay of neaffly half
q million. For the past twenty years he
has been Il constant sufferer from neural
ga and rheumatism, also nnmbness OF the
owe limbs, SO much so that it has seri-
9nsly interfered with his pleasure in life.
For some time past his friends have no
tlced that he has seemed to grow young
again and TO have recovered the health
which he had i'll youth.

done for others, and some cases SO nearly
resembled mine that l was interested, so
l wrote TO one who had given n tcsti-
moniai, nm eminent professor of music in
Canada. The reply received was even
stronger than the printed testimonial and
it gave me faith in the medicine.
II began taking the pills and found
them to be all that the professor had told
me they would be. 1t was two or three
months before l experienced any percepti-
BILE betterment of my condition. My dis
ease was of such long standing that did
not expect speedy recovery, and was
thankful even to be relieved. l progressed
rapidly, however, towards recovery, and

RED HOT IRONS TO HIS FEET
Sylvester Bower, a Nebraska Farmer, Tor.
tured by Robbers.

Sylvester Bower, a Nebraska Farmer, Tor
tured by Robbers.
OMAHA, Jan. 1G.-The DAYS of the IN.
QUESTION were renewed with n taste of
their fearful vengeance last Saturday
night when Sylvester Bower, Il farmer
living ten miles north of the city, was
deliberately roasted with hot irons to
compel him to divulge the whereabouts
of his hidden money.
AT i:30 in the evening two masked
men went to Bowers house, where he
was living alone, and demanded his
money. Bowen, being intimidated,
gave up ali nf the money in
his pocket. amounting to 81. The
robbers ordered him to tell the To-
cation of the balance of his money
and when he positively refused he was
seized, bound to n chair and, while ono
of the villains grasped him about the
throat to stitie his cries. the other APP
piled a red hot poker to his bare feet,
burning them without mercy.
After writhing in agony for n short
time, Bower decided to ncccde to their
demands, and gave up all of his money,
amounting to Sl14.A0. They then de-
manded moro money, and when the
helpless farmer told them that he did
not have another dollar in the house,
one of the robbers struck hlm over the
side Of the head with 4 piece of wood.
and while he was yet in an unconscious
condition, quietly made their escape.
Bower came to Omaha yesterday and
laid the matter before tho police. The
crlme having been committed outside
of the city limits, he was taken by
Chief OF Detectives Haze TO Judge
Smiths court, where n complaint was
filed by Bower, charging his
brother i'll law, Henry Dean,
and another man named Fred Smith,
with the robbery. Smith, who
was formerly u bartender, was
arrested early in the evening by De-
tectives Dunn and Donnhuc. Dean,
who is a lahorer. living at HOS lizard
street, was arrested later by Detectives
Hayes and Hudson. The prisoners
both state that they can prove an alibi.

ness outside the circle lighted
by the flames. The pitiable cries Of
those suddenly hurled to the brink of
death were almost drowned by n more
intense wailiug of women and chill
dren.
BY 3 O'Clock this wednesday, morn-
ing some order had come out of chaos.
The bodies were placed in impromptu
morgues, where large crowds are view
ing them.
Thirty Tons of Explosives.
At 10 O'Clock this forenoon the known
list will undoubtedly be increased
when the debris Of the explosion
is removed. 1t is almost certain
that bodies lie under tho ru-
ms of the demolished warehouse.
OF tho dead thus far recovered twenty
six have been identified either wholly
or partially. In some cases the inden-
LITIGATION has been by articles of cloth
ing or jewclry. the bodies being burned
SO as to render impossible Identification
in some cases.
No arrangements have been made for
the funeral, but it will be II public
affair and union services will be held

The families Of the tiremcn and police
men who died in the performance OF
their duty will be taken care of by the
city. Public subscriptions will be
started for the relief of others.
There is the greatest popular indig-
nation over the storage Of nitroglycer-
inc, giant powder and rack-a-rock in
the heart of the city, which is respon-
sible for last nights horror. An invcs-
litigation will be instituted to discover
those responsible and if it is found
that any public officials are to
blame for the violation of the city or
dinanccs they will find this climate toe
warm for them. On the other hand, il
tie mercantile firms who owned the
explosives are foun to have violated the
law they will suffer financially and
otherwise. Tho people urc thoroughly
aroused over tho c~atastrophy and will
make someone answer for it.
From all that can DO learned tho
total nmount of explosives that went
up in the three explosions was nearly
thirty tons-enough to wipe out tho
state of Rhode Island. There were
twenty tons of giant powder alone thai
wont no in one blast,

every member Of the fire department,

picked up in the vicinity.
The list of dead will

for half q block around looked like a
battlefield. Several of the bodies were
buried u long distance and picked UP

The Price of Bntueships,

men with figures showing the more
economical character of shipbuilding on
this side of the channel. Thus an
English battleship of $1,000 tons costs
less than a French II of $1,000 tons,
though the English artisan has higher
wages.
1t is not, however, merely a matter
of labor, for the French pay much more
for material than we, owing, of course,
to the fact that II country is so great
a producer of iron aud steel. Again,
VIC enjoy an immense advantage in the
specialization of III industries, while
the French admiralty can resort to but

The Nicaragua Canal

The project OF the Nicaragua canal has
been debated in the United States senat
very vigorously. One thing should be re-
membered about that climate, it is death
to almost every foreigner who goes there,
and laborers especially succumb. 1t is
life for every tie. What an
idea of pains and aches is i'll this
sentence. 1t is mostly due to careless
ness. Every laborcr provided with St. JAG
obs Oil would be armed against these
troubles. Mems muscles there are
cramped with rheumatic pain and they
ache all over. That's just the condition
where this sovereign remedy can do its
best work. The fearful malady is very
much like the break bone fever in certain
parts of America.
