following year he became assistant in
pathological anatomy to Frioriep; in
1916 he was made prosecutor of the
Charlie Hospital, and in 1S47 was ap-

sity. In 1913 he was commissioned by
the government to visit Upper Silesia
and study the typhus fever which was
prevailing there as an epidemic, the
result of misery and starvation. His
report on this subject commanded at
tention at once, and is still held in
high esteem by the medical profession
and by all who are concerned with
sanitary science. In 1S49, on account
of his active participation in the po-

was dismissed from his university po-
sition and as he mentions was only

of the profession in Berlin, and par

August, 1S49, he received a call to the
chair Of pathological anatomy at Wurz-

1856, when, by the unanimous vote of
the faculty he was recommended for
and received the appointment which he

leaving Berlin he formed, in 1S47, his
celebrated Archiv, which is regarded
as the greatest storehouse of facts in
scientific medicine possessed by the
world.

A HOT r RE.
BARN CONTAINING TAR MAKES A
STUBBORN BLAZE.
Damaged Building Belongs to o. h &.
Farness-Badger Roofing Company
Loses Some Stock
MADISON. OCT. 13. Is!

AhAOIOO4N, wi 10, loSU.
A barn filled with tar and roofing
tools sneared with tar made a hot fire
for few minutes about o'clock last
evening at $50 Williamson street-just
opposite The electric light plant
About $500 damage was done to the
building and contents before Inc fire
was extinguished. Nobody knows just
what caused the fire. The Badger
Roofing company used the building as
storehouse for its srcCk and tools. It
was locked at the time OF the fire ana
no one had been inside it since late in
the afternoon. Soon after the blaze
was discovered the entire fire depart
ment was on the scene and only after
considerable work was the stubborn
flames extinguished. The damage to
the barn will reach about $500. o. H.
Fairness, a farmer living near De For
est, is the owner of it, His son,
Thomas Fairness, who clerks for the
Ogilvie Dry Goods company, says he
doesn't know how much insurance
there was on the building, but he be-
lieves it will cover the damage. The
barn was built about a year ago. The
tar and tools destroyed were also fully
insured. The policy is in the Rockford
Fire Insurance company and the agent,
J. G. OFT, believes the amount of it IS
$500. The members of the Badger
Roofing company are L. A. Tusler, j.
G. Kruger and Jonn S. Pyncheon.

Paramount, Mimi, Oct. 13.-The
second william of the Sherburne bank
robbery yesterday gave the full story
of the affair, but still refuses to give
anis name. He will be tried in Martin
county He detailed to the officers
previous crimes that he and his part
ner engaged in before the bank
robbery was plotted and claimed in all
OF them equal responsibility. The
young desperate gives as the reason
for not divulging his name that he has
q praying mother and sister of high
connection and he will never allow
them to stand the stigma of such a
crime. While there is great danger of
him dangling at a ropes end before
morning he is as cool and collected as
il nothing had ever occurred. The
county last night called out fifty mem
bers of company D and had them sta
toned inside the Jail enclosure. A
report has been received from Sher-
burne that a mob is forming there to
march to the Jail here, but the officers
declare that they will resist an assault
to the bitter end and if necessary not
surrender their man until all are dead
The young robber has confessed, in
addition to his previous admissions,
that he and the dead rcbber, his
brother, fired a barn at Heron Lake,
Mimi, week ago with the idea OF
robbing the bank during the excite
ment Owing to the care the cashier
took to lock up the funds the plan
failed. He says hey broke into a
hardware store at Sherburne and stole
their revolvers and bicycles.
A Mason City Qa.), special says that
the dead robber known as J. d. Sair
has been identified as Jesse Lake, who
eierked in that city last May.

his arbitrary course on The bench, pre-
sided. Rosenbloom was subjected to a
severe fire Of roSs-Questioning, but
answered correctly as to the manner
of electing the president o. this coun-
try, the requirements OF a foreign cit
izen desiring to become naturalize6,
the number of senators and represent

each state has in congress he was
stumped. He offered to rame some of
them, but this was not satisfactory to
the court. Becoming somewhat inGig-
nant, ROsenblCom exclaimed: Il am
only a plain business man, your honor,
and do not have time to study up all
these questions
That does not make any difference .
haughtily replied the court. IF peo-

never have been naturalized."

SWEPT BY THE SEA
A TERRIFIC WIND STORM AGI-
TATES THE ATLANTIC.
PLEASURE PLACES RUINED
Hotels and Pavilions on Coney Island
Beach Are Destroyed by the High
est Tide Ever Known-Boston
Loses Many Yachts-Atlantic City's
Brigatine Wharf Washed Away.

New York, Oct, ia terrible storm
has ragged for the past twenty-fou-
hours along the Atlantic coast from
New Jersey north.
Coney island suffered the highest
tide in the history of the famous re-
sort yesterday. A large number OF
temporary structures along the front
were destroyed. The boulevard Was
flooded as far as Neptune avenue. The
shelter houses at the intersection OF
the concourse and boulevard were
washed away. Waves running noun
tain high battered the plaza in front
of the Brighton Beach hotel and tore
which Anton SeidPs Oh chestra gives It's
performances. The Ocean hotel, west
of the Brigton Beach hotel was sur
rounded by water and it's foundations
were racked. Numerous bathing paw
lions and amusement houses were
either wrecked or damaged, among the
latter being the club house of the Sea-
side Athletic club. The old iron pier
that was believed to be invincible and
tno, had been buffeted by the storms
of over twenty winters was cut in two.
AT o'clock yesterday afternoon the
storm was working havoc, wrecking
everything it could reach on the beach
Manhattan beach shared the disaster
with other sections of the island. Much
of the beach was swept by the waves
and many of the ornaments on the
grounds of the Manhattan Beach hotel
were swept away and the magnificent
lawn in front of the swell Oriental no.
tel was made a dismal waste.
At 2:30 p. m. a monster wave struck
the concert pavilion at Brighton Beach
and tore away two-thirds of the struc-
ture. The Brighton Beach race track
stables were flooded and the
horses were moved. A rough
estimate of the financial loss
along the Coney beach places it at
100000.
Boston, Oct. 13.-Fifteen yachts
broke from their moorings off South
Boston and are high and dry on the
arshes. A number are sunk at va
rious points in the upper bay. :.
Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 13.-At 6
o'clock last night the Brigatine steam
snip wharf, 800 feet in length, was
washed away.

Paris, Oct. 9.-In site OF the denial
OF the police officials, the newspapers
insist that anarchist demonstrations
have occurred since the arrival of the
car. In addition to the report that
bomb was exploded upon the Place
de la Concorde, the Journal says that
another explosion, injuring one person,
occurred on the rue St. Florentine, and
that one arrest was made.
The Gaulois asserts that a number
of anarchists have been arrested. The
police are believed TO be Withholding
the facts in all the cases.
The police yesterday issued a denial
OF the report which appeared in sew
eral newspapers saying that a bomb
had been exploded upon the Place de
la Concorde. The authorities say
that the report grew out Of a practical
Joke. Some enc placed simple fire
work petard at considerable distance
from the route of traffic, and it's ex-
plosion caused no danger.
The municipal council of Paris has
received dispatch from the municipal
SouhCll VI 81. petersburg Setlng forth
that the whole populatian of the Rus
sian capital is profoundly moved at the
reception, so cordial, magnificent and
imposing, which France is giving TO
our beloved car"
London, Oct. "a special dispatch
from Paris says that an eyewitness of
one of the explosions declares that
there were but few people ON the Place
de la Concorde when man carrying
basket was noticed lettering near the
statute Of the city of Lyons. Soon at
forwards, it is claimed, there was an
explosion with a report like that of a
fog signal and a number of nails and
pieces of iron were scattered over the
statute, which was injured.

BRYAN'S MINNEAPOLIS FRIENDS
Make HIM A PRESENT.
Twin Cities Give the Presidential
Nominee a Cordial Reception
Towne Joins Bryan Party.

Minneapolis, Oct. 13.-William Jen-
nings Bryan came to St. Paul to
the sister city yesterday afternoon.
Minneapolis received him with
whoop. Part of the town had gone
over to see him and the balance was
awaiting his arrival when special
trolley car bearing him and his party
came to a stop in front of the Hotel
West. He spoke at four meetings
last night, in the exposition hall, at
bridge square on the bank of the Miss
rissippi river just outside the hall, at the
Lyceum theater to an audience of wo-
men, and at Yale place, the public
square in the city. Bryan held an in
formal reception in the parlors of the
Hotel Ryan at ST. Paul with Mrs Bry
an by his side. In Minneapolis a sec
ond reception was held in the West
hotel. After that Mr.. and Mrs Bry-
an were driven to the home of State
Senator Howard for dinner. During
his absence the veterans of the Bryan
club of Minneapolis, 200 gray bearded
warriors, marched to the hotel
and formed a circle in the lobby When
he came they escorted him to the expo
sition hall. No such crowd has been
packed within it's walls since that
day when the republican convention
nominated Harrison for president in
1892. 1t has seating capacity of $500
Outside the hall the crowd was so
great that the services of a squad of po-
icemen were required to force an en-
trance for Bryan. Ex-Mayor P. B.
nlnstin introduced E. C. Marchard,
who, on behalf of large part of the
laboring class of Minneapolis, present
ed Bryan with an ipkstand made, so
the speaker said, Of gold and silver at

WATSON BADLY OFF.
May not Be Able 20 Resume Work on
the Stump.

Atlanta, Oct. Thomas E. Wat
son is still confined to his room and is
acting under the advice of his physi-
clan, DR.. Harrison, who says that
while he is improving, his throat is
still a complete mass of sores, and
under no circumstances can he speak
for less than ten or twelve days, and
that it is very doubtful if he can take
the stump again during the present
campaign. Information received from
prominent populists develops that
Watson intended to make a complete
tour of Kansas and Colorado with the
intention of smashing the present flu
sion arrangements in those states.

CANNOT USE The NAME.
Gold Democrats Lose a Point in New
York.

New York, Oct. Sin the supreme
court of Kings county Judge Clement
decided in favor of the democratic
county committees protest against the
use, upon the official ballot, of the des-
ignation, national democratic" by
the gold standard democrats and
Shepard faction of the party. In his
opinion Judge Clement says: "The
political party name of the national
democratic party is substantially the
same as the name democratic party,
and infringes upon the right of the use
thereof by the political party known
as the regular democratic party"
The matter will at once be taken
before the appellate division for fur
Their argument. At the board of cleo
tons several days ago the commission
ers refused to put the names of the
Shepard party nominees on the ballots
under the head of the national demo-
cratic party. A writ of mandamus is
applied for to compel the commission
er to do so.
