st. Louis, Sept. 1.-When the resolu-

ported the platform yesterday and it had
been read there was a deluge Of motions,
none of which was acted upon, a recess
were eager for work, and the afternoon
session was set in motion promptly at 2
o'clock. After considerable talk in which

main as introduced In the platform, and
the labor congress will be held in Chica-

of the platform was amended by the

as follows: THAT we consider the proper
use Of the ballot as the best and safest
means for the amelioration of the hard

investigate this matter.

Defense In the Luetgert Case Tries an Ex-
periment-Jury Secured.
Chicago, Aug. 30.-The jury that will
try Adolph Luetgert for the murder Of
his wife has beenssecured, the last man
being accepted Saturday. The trial
will begin this morning. A human body
was boiled in the vat in which 1t Is
maintained by the prosecution the body
of Mrs. Louise Luetgert was reduced to
fluid and then flooded away with the
sewage Of the factory. Those who were
at the experiment were the lawyers
and scientists interested in the defense
of Luetgert.
The boiling was done under the same
conditions in which 1t Is alleged the
murder was committed and the wit

the states theory. DR.. John II. Long.

Medical college, who was in charge Of
the experiment. said that at the end Of
three hours boiling the big bones were
still intact. This, he says, will have a
tendency to destroy the states case, as

DR.. Loye. the French physician, who
has greatly interested himself in the
question, "What passes in the head of
decapitated human being?'' relates the
following remarkable story, which he
says was taken from the archives of the
Vienna courts: 1t was in the year --
that Schoenenburg, well known bandit,
and four of his associates were caught
and condemned to death. They were
already on their knees ready to pay the
penalty of their bloody deeds by SUBJ
hitting to the awful fate of decapita-
ton when Sohoenenburg addressed the
Judge, asking that his four companions
might be pardoned on certain condi-
tions. ST." asked the bandit, latter I
am beheaded, l get up and walk to the
first of my comrades, will you pardon
him?" The judge thought that he was
pretty safe in complying with the re-
quest. ''Then, continued Schooner
burg, "if l walk to the second, the
third and the fourth, will you pardon
them also?" The judge replied that if
such miraculous feat could be per-
formed he would obtain pardon for the
other three also. The bandit was now
satisfied, and, bending his head. he re-
ceived the fatal blow. Instantly the
head rolled down in the sand, but to
the surprise and horror of all present
the headless trunk arose and walked
alone. Aimlessly, it appeared, the body
walked around until it passed the first,
the second, the third and the fourth
condemned bandit, when it fell down
and became motionless. Query, How
could headless body Think"

RETIRED STATESMAN owns UP.
In All Trades Are Many Tricks, nnd
Sometimes in Politics.


"I'm what you might call a retired
statesman" said the old lawyer, whose
practice is chiefly that of a counselor.
But before the war was in politics

younger with the memory, says the
Detroit Free Press.
II was in Kentucky, and the first time

them up with candy and jollied along

A MnEnetic Islnnh.

Everybody has read stories of mys-
terious islands exercising an irresisti-
ble attraction on ships passing near
them. These, Of course. are pure in
ventions; but there is an island named
Bornholm in the Baltic sea near the
coast of Denmark whose rocks. accord
ing TO Vienna journal, Der Stein der
Weisen. are so strongly magnetic that
they affect the compasses of passing
ships, even as far as nine miles away
In this manner Bornholm may be said
to turn vessels out of their course, since
an error of the compass needle may
cause a corresponding error in the
steering of a ship.

WILL IN A GRAVE.
1t Was Found After Thirty Years in
Buried Family bible.

After lying in a mans coffin for more
than 80 years q will has been eNhumed
at Leavenworth. Ind, and it's terms are
likely to increase troublesome litiga-
ton among the heirs of the man who
had the document buried with him, says
local exchange.
Jacob Kissinger was the man. The
will was found by accident, because.
when Kissinger died, although the will
was believed to have been made, nobody
could find it. So the heirs went to law,
and have been at it for three decades.
\ few days ago a dispute arose which
could be cleared up by the family Bible.
So the old grave was opened and the
Book taken out. It was in a good state
of preservation, and when opened, to
the surprise of everyone, disclosed the
old mans will.
BY the terms of the document found
in, the grave, the property of Kissingen
was divided equally among five children.
one of them a resident of Germany and
born of Kissingen's first wife. And
this is where the new trouble begins.
None of the four American heirs ever
heard of the fathers first marriage. and
not one of them guessed that he had a
brother in Europe.
The German heir, of course. has been
in ignorance. too, of the existence of his
American brothers, and the property
and money bequeathed to him. If he
presses his claim now it is said that the
four brothers who live here will have
quite a hole made in their purses when
they pay him what is his by his fathers
