Herr Wolff was further Inundated BY
being dragged to n police station and
there locked up for n time. Police charges
We're made on mobs in Vienna and in
"ratz' the capital of Syria. In the lat
Ter place the military took a hand. and
Two rioters We're reported killed and many
wounded.
The performances in the lower house of
the helchsrath have developed each day
new features Of astounding interest. Dep
'ties have exhausted the vocabulary of
abuse and the engineery Of obstruction.
There is nothing in the history of parlia-
mehtary government in Europe that can
compare with the proceedings which cul-
minated in riots IN the public streets and
IN demands that Count Badeni be sent
to the guillotine.

BODY IN A DITCH.
Chicago Woman's Remains
Are Found Buried.

Pauline Merry's body, bruised and hat.
tered. was found in Il ditch by the side of
a lonely stretch of road at Western ave-
nue. and S7th street, Chicago. 1t was
taken to the county morgue the mute wit
ness TO clear away part of the mystery
ana corroboratc the testimony Of her pratt
Ting 3-ycar-old boy. who told that she
was murdered by the man she acknowl-
edged as her husband. The body was be-
ginning to decompose. The neck was
piack and blue. and the imprints of Il
iiand were visible. There was a cut an
inch long over the left eye and another
OF the same length on the right side Of
the temple. The face and nose were
crushed in.
Guided by Thomas Hickey, a compan
ION Of Christopher Merry. a detail Of
police started out in search Of the wom-
an 5 body. Hickey's lack of familiarity
with the streets and the fact that the
body had been carted away at night made
II dllficult for him to find the spot where
the body was hidden. Two or three times
he halted the wagon and then changed his
mind and said he was mistaken. At length
the party reached the corner Of Western
"''h"S an" : street, u Qulet spot, ana
Hickey recognized the surroundings. He
stopped and pointed to a spot at the
roadside covered with dry leaves.
The policemen were soon at work with
their shovels and when some two feet of
earth had been romoved they came upon a
bundle wrapped in bed clothing. which
was tied about with a clothesline. The
body was identified by Hickey and Po-
seeWen Ryan and Keefe as that Of Mrs.
Merry. The disclosure which led to the
discovery was the confession of Thomas
Hickey.

as ~disgraceful and demoralizing. A

The st. Louis opposition, however.

VIOLENT SCENES IN VIENNA.
Hreat MObs dispersed by the Nussars
and Mounted Police.

The members Of the Austrian ministry
Sunday rendered their resignation to En-
peror Francis Joseph, who accepted them
and intrusted Baron Gautsch, who holds
the portfolio Of public instruction Of the
retiring ministry. with the task of form
lng a new cabinet. The Emperor ad-
dressed an autograph letter to Count Ba-
deni decreeing the adjournment of the
Reichsrath until further orders.
During HI assembling of the Rcichsrath
dense masses OF people, for the most part
workmen, thronged the Ringstrasse from
the university to the outer gate of Hof-
burg. A charge by the mounted police
with drawn swords failing to dispense
them, Il body of hussars clea red the
streets at the sabcr's point. many persons
being wounded. The ambulance of the
city Immediately sent two vans to attend
the injured.
At least 10000 people gathered about
the same time in front of the town hall
and the Provincial Criminal Court to
make Il demonstration in favor Of Herr
Wolff, who was to be arrested there on
a charge Of public violence committed
when being removed from the unterhaus
by the police, acting under the orders
of President Won Abrahamovics. The no
lice. with drawn swords, dispersed them.
simultaneously meetings Of workmen
were held in various quarters Of the city,
but the police dissolved these.
Upward of 5000 people tried to organ
'ize II demonstration in the early evening
IN front Of the foreign office building, but
this was prevented by closing the ap-
proaches to the palace. After 8 o'clock
the city was quiet. The judge OF the Pro-
vincial Criminal Court discharged Herr
Wolff from custody. There were dem
constructions also at Crate, Prague and
-Asch, in Bohemia, but they were not Of q
serious character.

the President announcing that members
would be notified by mail Of the date Of

A GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY,
California to Commemorate the Min
erai Discoveries in That State.

erai Discoveries in That State.
Although California no longer has a
monopoly Of the precious mineral it is still
called the Gold State" California has
produced more than SS0O,O0O,0 600 of gold
since the first discovery Of it in 1913.
The exact date of this discovery has been
fixed officially as Jan. 10. and some Cali
fornians are now preparing to celebrate
the fiftieth anniversary of that day on
Jan. 10. 1898. 1t is intended to erect a
monument designed to pelpetuate and fur
ther extend the distinction of California
as a State rich in minerals and to revive
some OF the earlier memories of the Ar
gonauts who poured into California in the
winter Of 40 and the spring of 80 after
the fame Of CALIFORNIA; gold fields had
become national. The monument is to be
composed OF as great a variety Of mineral
substances produced in the State as is pos
sible. 1t is assumed that the ores, build
ing stones, etc, will be given freely by
counties, communities and individuals,
and for the artistic features OF the monu-
ment it is proposed to raise a fund Of
100000.
The mineral wealth of California,
though chiefly, is not wholly gold. The
silver product of the State, though not a.
large as that of Nevada or Colorado, IL
considerable, and California produces
more than one-quarter Of the whole
worlds supply Of quicksilver. Copper and
a~ntimony are also produced, though not
in amounts u large as in some other
States.
The monument for which the founda.
ton will be laid on Jan. 10 will not be
the only feature Of the proposed observ-
ance of this anniversary, for there is also
in view the establishment Of a permanent
museum of minerals, designed to show
not only what California has done in this
line, but what, also, It Is likely to BE- able
to do in the future.

Encourage them to be truthful by re-

when they make a full and free con-l

Common and the ability to-

Do not attempt to compel pupils to-.

of punishment. Rather let your own

sistance. i
In making or enforcing rules looks
back to your own childhood; recals

A Load Of Ants.

When a vessel recently arrived IN
Liverpool with a cargo Of logwood,
everybody on board, from captain down
to cook, rushed frantically ashore, as
though pursued 10y some unseen enemy.
AS a matter of fact, the vessel was lit
orally swarming with hordes Of hungry
Jamaica ants.
The little pests had invaded the lock-
ers and dived headlong into the sugar
barrels. After finishing the contents
OF these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply Of hard tack, and
ate everything before them, until it was
feared that the stock Of provisions on
board would run short. There was a
cessation from their Attacks when the
vessel was caught in a West India hur-
ricane, which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. It was
supposed that the intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re-
newed energy.
The captain who commands the yes
sci stated that there are millions Of the
insects still or board, and he thought
that the cargo must have come from
the vicinity of ant hills for which
Jamaica is noted. He stated that the
ants were in all parts Of the vessel, and
that In all his experience at sea he had
never before met with an attack like
the newcomers waged against him.

cL0ddRD BOWELS.

Constipation mean not only unhealthy
accommodations in the bowels, but q sondi-
tion poisonous to the entire body. 1t gen.
crates foul gases which poison the stomach,
liver, heart, kidneys and blood, thus de.
ranging the whole system. Moreover, 1t
causes a paralysis in the muscular struct.
ure of the bowels, hence chronic constipa-
ton ensues with all its accompanying evils.
A simple cathartic Is only q temporary
benefit. What is needed to permanently
cure is q tonic that will strengthen the
bowel structure and restore natural
peristaltic movements. PRICKLY ASH BIT
TIERS has an established reputation Of
many years. standing as a system tonic and
laxative. 1t does not purge or grip the
bowels. leaving them weak and helpless,
as do the drastic cathartics. It's action is
gentle yet effsctual. It STIMULATES and
strengthens the bowels, regulates the liver,
tones up the stomach and when there is
any kidney arrangement it promptly ex-
tends its curative influence to those organs.
