Mails Fumigated.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 2s-Warmer
weather in the past two or three days
has had the effect of increasing to-
some extent the number of new eases
of the prevailing type of yellow fever.
but it has also had the effect of send
ing down the death rate. There were
% cases Saturday, Il Sunday and up to
$50 o'clock yesterday 81 cases But
the were only two deaths on Saturday,
none on Sunday and two yesterday.
Present experience, therefore, proves
that warm weather adds to the
number of cases, but reduces the
mortality, while colder weather dimin-
ishes the number of cases and enlarges
the death rate.

A Religious Enthusiast.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. Els. S.
Wheeland, once a rich miller of Neo-
desha, Kan, died in poverty in a rented
room at 1904 West Twenty-Ninth
street, this city. Thirty-five years ago
he was converted by Moody and San
key, the evangelists, in revival meet
ing. He then had a great deal of
money and property, but he gave away
every dollar of it to the church. He
distributed it in different sums at diff
ferent times, but it all went for the
same purpose.

A CANAL ROUTE.
The Commission Selects a Way to Connect
the Lakes with the Seaboard.


the Lakes with the SeabOard.
ALBANY. n. Y, Sept. 2S.-The deep
waterways commission appointed by
President Mckinley to report on a
canal route connecting the upper lakes
with the seabOard practically has Sc
lected the route, according to state
ment made by Chief Engineer Harri-
son. of the commission. 1t will start
from North Tonawanda and extend to
Lake Ontario, the outlet to be near
Wilson; beginning again at Oswego,
thence to Lake Oneida and from there
to the Mohawk river, which is direct
connection via the Hudson with the
Atlantic ocean. This route is known
as the "Oswego route" and is practi-
cally the same as that outlined and
recommended by State Engineer and
Surveyor Adams.
The total cost of the construction of
the canal will foot up, according to
the deductions and estimates from this
examination of the route, SSs, OgS. COL.
While the cost of this canal seems
enormous, it may be considered reason
ably economical when it is remem-
bered that the Suez canal cost $780,
OOO. 900.

GALEsBURG, Ill. Sept. 27.-The audi
ence at the dedication of Lombard
gymnasium, at Illinois university, Sat
urday, was aroused to high pitch of
enthusiasm by the concluding part of
the address by William E. Mason,
United States senator. He spoke in a
most impassioned strain of Cuba's
cause. He told how the sparks of
liberty had been kindled years ago
in the breasts of Cuban youths edu-
Gated here, and how, on returning to
Cuba. they had resisted Spanish OPP
preston. He enumerated the bur
dens of taxation that drove Cubans
to the shores of despair, and he spoke
of the killing of men and the mistreat-
ment of women and children by the
Spaniards. He scored this country for
its Indifference. and then appealed to
the students to influence their con-
gressmen to espouse the cause of Cuba.
He urged the preachers to pray for Gu
ban independence until the letters of
Cuba were broken. The remarks pro-
duced deep impression on the audi
ence, and were followed by prolonged
applause.

STAYS HIS FAMILY.
Iowa Farmer Murders Seven Helpless
Ones, Then Kills Himself.
NO Motive for the Terrible Crime, as the
Family Was Prosperous and Lived Hap
pily-Direful Results of Battle
Between Polish Miners.

CARROLL, Ia, Sept. 2S.-The slaugh.
ter of mother and her six children
occurred Sunday night at the home OF
John Boeckert, farmer living eight
miles northwest of here. The fiendish
husband completed his bloody work by
sending bullet into his own head. in
ficting a fatal wound. The family
were prosperous Germans, and, so far
as known, lived happily. No motive
for the tragedy has been disclosed.
Boecker's victims are his wife and
these children: Caroline, aged IA; Chris
tine, aged 9; Henry, aged s; Lizzie,
aged 6; John, aged 8, and an infant
All are dead but Henry, and the latter
cannot recover from his wounds.
1t is undoubtedly a case of murder
and suicide. The indications are that
Blocker first dispatched his wife with
the shotgun, shooting her in the neck,
then used the revolver on the baby,
first shooting it and then knocking
out its brains with the butt. Blocker
then went upstairs where the five chill
dren were sleeping and killed them.
He must have used light, for his aim
was effective, each victim being shot
in the forehead. All but two children
met with instant death, for the blood
clots were under their heads. and thew
lay as calmly reposed as if in sleep.
All except Henry, who is not vet dead,
were attired in night robes. Blocker
had reloaded the weapon while up
stairs, and evidently sent the second
n oil -
before leaving the room. Going down
stairs, he stretched himself beside the
corpse of his wife and shot himself.
Members of his fathers family say
he had no family troubles. his financial
affairs were in good shape and they
can assign no motive for the terrible
crime. On the other hand it is said
that John had disagreed with the old
folks and Henry over the occupancy of
the farm on which John lived, and this
is assigned by some as the cause of the
trouble which eliminated in murder
and suicide. The family are Germans
and highly-respected citizens.
Terrible Fight Among Polish Miners.
GIRARDvILLE, Pa, Sept2S AT least
nine men received fatal injuries and
possibly two score others were more or
less seriously wounded in a bloody

to kill, HOUSEKEEPING and rioting. and |
were held in heavy bail for court |
Many more warrants have been issued, |
but have not been served as vet.
DIR. Charles Statesman attended to |
p of the wounded, nine of whom, he |
says, will die. Drs. William Monog- /
han and James DOnahue attended to |
IA others, and how many the other
cared for is not known.
Three other men have been reported
dead
