and putting the 16-pound shot was a
revelation to novices.

ASSAULT UPON A GIRL
Timely Assistance Saved Her
From Injury. However.
ELLA IsAACsoN, AGED TEN
YEARS, THE VICTIM.
The Affair Occurred at Liberty Park
The Offender, Who Rode Into
the Park on Bicycle, Escaped.

1t would certainly appear high time
that mounted policeman be placed on
duty at Liberty Park.
Between s and o'clock Thursday
evening, Ella, the little 1O-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Isaacson, residing on Twelfth South
near Fifth East. feL~.Hza the hands of a
ruffian who, if assistance had not been
/ close at hand, might have fallen a VIC
| tim to dastardly assault. The little
| girl, as has been her custom, visited
the southern end of the lark in COM
pany with several neighbor children.
For some reason or other Ella straved
away from the rest of the crowd and
was confronted by a man on a wheel
who dismounted and began TO ply her
with questions. She told where she
lived and the two became quite
friendly, especially when the wheelman
pulled out sack of candy, which she
accepted.
According to Elias story the stranger
persisted in wanting her. to sit in his
lap and finally became insulting She
finally called out for aid, and a lady
and gentleman residing near the park
came to the child's rescue The ruffian
then mounted his wheel and rode off,
AS it was quite dark by this time the
little girls rescuers did nothing to ap-
prehend the fellow.
Ella, who is a bright girl, describes
her assailant as a well-dressed man
with dark moustache and wearing a
gray suit and soft hat of the same
color He rode light painted wheel.
Inc matter so far as can be learned
was not reported to the police
This is not the first time little girls
nave been insulted at the park. The
place is favorite one for spending
an evening and without any police pro-
lection it has grown to a state when
IL as scarcely possible for a lady to
walk IN the park after O'Clock in
the evening without being insuIted.

Somewhat Confused

LONDON, May The news from the
seat of war is still somewhat confused
as to the exact positions of the Greeks;
but it appears that General Smolenski

Turks have full control of the roads
leading from Thessaly to the valley of
Spherchios and Lama by the Moch-

At no point during the retreat Of the

The crime was committed, it is sup

Pouch worked for Harris about two
years ago. Last night at his request
he was given lodging over night After

eating of which he shot them.
Pouch rode away on a bicycle. A posse
of farmers is in hot pursuit. The farm
ers are greatly excited and enraged, and
should they get hold of the murderer he
undoubtedly will be lynched.
The suDpoSition of the authorities is
that Pouch is either insane or committed
the murders in order to hide the evidence
of another crime. The manner in which
the murders were committed showed
plainly that Pouch deliberately had ar
ranged his plans.
Harris was quite well to do. Pouch
worked for him in the summer of 1895.

to cause enmity between them. Pouch

Reports from Waukesha state that
Mrs. Harris was not instantly killed as
first stated, and may recover. There is
little hope for Nelson McHolt, the hired
man. and Helen Nesbach. the girl.

Statement That Has Stirred Up Poll
ticianS in Illinois

! Springfield, Ills, May "A. l.. Ham
ilton, publisher of the West Chicago
! Journal, clerk of the house committee
on live stock and dairying. stated to
/ representatives of the press today that
| he had been mistaken for Representa-

troll of the existing roads and new fran
chises to a specially appointed COM
mission instead of the boards of alder
men of various cities. The bills have
been bitterly opposed by the civic re-
form organizations of Chicago.
Mr.. Hamilton saws:
Shortly after the house met today,
I was talking to Representative Bailey.
who was sitting in his seat. Senator
LandTigan at the same time was talk
ing to Representative Flanagan, who
occupied seat next to Bailey. When
Landrigan walked out also went out
after him. When we got out into the
corridor Landrigan turned to me and
said:
"'Mr. Flanagan, want to make you
acquainted with Mr.. Garrard.'
II shook hands with Mr.. Garrard,
who then said:
Mr.. Flanagan, we want a few more
votes on these Humphrey bills. We
have II, but want a few more to make
things sure. If you will vote for the
bills l will make you a present of $4,000
after they are passed.
'He also spoke of some other bill I
said nothing and walked away. I went
back to Representative Bailey and told
him what had happened"
The Garrard referred to is f. G. Gar
rard, for many years secretary of the
state board of agriculture. AS it was
not known that he had anything to do
with the Humphrey bills and is a man
once on everybody's lips and created
the greatest excitement. An inexplica-
BILE part of the story, assuming it TO
be true, was that Senator Landrigan
should be a go-between in the
Humphrey bills, for he has steadfastly
fought them.
Both Senator Landrigan and Mr.. Gar
rard deny the truth of Mr.. Hamiltons
statement.

who were found at Pharsalos said that
the Greeks hardly made a pause after
entering the town, the retreat begin
ming almost Immediately. They left
behind them great quantities of army
biscuits, $500 shells, a large store of
musketry and ammunition, but they
took their field guns. The retreat was
not the result of a general plan, for
the position could not have been car
ried without enormous loss. Therefore
their sudden retreat must have been
due to the fact that the troops could
no longer be trusted to fight, even from
the strongest position. Real soldiers
would not have quilted the Greek posi-
lions on the hills without terrible re-
sistance.

THE Turkish artillery practice, when

What We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We cannot
be held responsible for the dispositions
and tendencies which we derive from
our ancestors, nor are we responsible
for the germs of disease which
may manifest themselves in our
blood as a heritage from for
mer generations. But we are
responsible If we allow these germs
to develop into serious diseases
which will impair our usefulness and
destroy our happiness. We are respon-
sible if we transmit to our descendants
the disease germs which it is possible
for us to eradicate by the use of Hood s
Sarsaparilla, the one true blood puri-
fer. This medicine has power to make
rich, red blood and establish perfect
health in place of disease.
