Human.

CHICAGO. September 1.-THE State put
in its time to-day proving that the bones
taken from the vat of the sausage-fac-
tory were those of human being. and
the evidence produced was strongly
against the prisoner.
Professor George o. Bailey testified
positively that OF the bones shown him
in court, one was from the hand of
human being, one from the foot, one was
a part OF human nib, and one was a
fragment of the forearm. The witness
did not qualify his evidence in any de-
gree but stated his conviction in the

may be true that these men were not

MRS. LUETGERT'S RINGS
Identified as Those Found in the
Sausage Vat.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Three women
gave damaging evidence against the
defendant in the Luegert trial today.
They positively identified the rings
found in the vat, as being the proper
ty of Mrs. Luegert, and said that they
had seen them on her hands, and one
of them had talked with her about
the rings at one time, and SO felt sure
that the rings found in the vat and
those she saw on the fingers of Mrs.
Luetgert were the same, The defense
made a desperate. effort to- break: down
the evidence of the three women, but
they all stuck to their stories, and
sWore that the rings were those which
the wife. of the sausagemaker had
worn before she disappeared.
The session of court was short in the
afternoon, as Judge Tuthill said that
he desired to make a personal visit
to the factory, and see for himself
where the murder is said to have been
committed. He took with him one at
tOrney from the side of the defense,
and one from those engaged in the
prosecution, and during their visit to
the factory no other person was al
lowed around the premises.
Carl Voelker, a chemist, who had
been at one time engaged with Luet-
CERT in the manufacture of permanga-
ISlG VI pOldSIl, anu w do DIT OAlC IllliC q
shipping clerk in the factory, testified
during the afternoon session that he
was familiar with all of Luetgerts
processes for the making of sausage,
and that he had never had any oc-
casion to use any caustic potash
around the place. The defendant could
not, he said, have secured it for the
purpose of using 1t in the making
of the sausage. During all of the time
that Voelker was around the factory,
he said that the watts were never used.
The crush around the court room mas
increased to such proportions that it
was found necessary today to take
active measures to keep the crowd
away from the trial. The court room
is on the third floor of the criminal
court building, and orders were given
that none of the passenger elevators
should stop, save at the second and
fourth floors. Officers were then sta
toned at the stairways, and nobody
who did not have business in the court

other safety devices for which the

eff the lone woman happens to be

no dread of landing alone in the con-
fusion of a big, strange place, if she

she has to do is to speak to one Of

her questions and show her to cab,

NEW YORK, Sept S.-A special TO
the Herald from Memerara, BRITISH
Guiana. says: George H. Moore, a
grant holder on the British Guiana
bank of the Amacura river, northwest
district, reports: "On Monday myself
and one Thomas Bennett left our resi-
dences with my boat, sailing to Point
Barima, for the purpose of fishing. In
passing the Spanish station, which Is
at the mouth of the river, one of the
Venezuelan police called us to stop,

reply On continuing my journey, Col.
Castania. the officer in charge, has
tened out from the generals quarters
with a Winchester and beckoned me
to stop. 1 refused to do so. He (Col.
CaStania) aimed at us and fired, but
without striking either of us, and we
continued on our way"
The incident has been reported to
the colonial office, London, and While
it is not expected that much more will
be heard of it. settlers in the North
west territory of the colony are anX-
ious that the imperial authorities
should obtain assurance that such
demonstration shall not be continued.
The right to fish off Point Barima
was enjoyed by the Dutch from their
earliest settlement on the coast OF
Guiana, and was one to which the
British succeeded.

KANSAS PROSPEROUS.
Commissioner BreidenthaI Says 49,
900 Homes Will Be Cleared.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 3.-"Kansas is
today the most prosperous state in
the union," said Bank Commissioner
John w. Breidenthal yesterday.
There will be 10000 homes cleared of
mortgages this fall. Think of what
that means. The mortgages will aver
age $1,000 each, which means the ex-
penditure Of $4,000, 900. 1t means also
that this state is becoming common
wealth of homes. 1t means that the
farmers of Kansas are realizing the
opportunities which are offered them
and doing their best to make the most
of them.
ST have received letters from banks
in the smaller towns of the state, ask
ing if they could legally refuse de-
posits. This is a condition which
never before prevailed in Kansas. The
banks have thousands of dollars on
deposit, and do not care to take the
responsibility of receiving more
money. There is no demand for it,
consequently the bankers desire to ac-
cept no more money.
Never in the history Of Kansas has
there been as much money with which
to pay debts as we find in the state
today. The state has struck Won
derful streak of luck. Conditions
brought a good wheat crop; the prices
advanced cattle are plenty and COM
mand a good price These conditions
found Kansas in a good position to
profit immensely thereby, and we are
doing it.
There never has been time in the
history of the state when the farmers
have not raised enough to live on
Now comes this magnificent year, with
immense crops and high prices, and it
is little wonder they are making the
best of it. The people are making an
earnest effort to get out of debt, and
when they succeed in doing this the
Kansas farmer will be the most indie
pendent person on earth, because he
knows enough to keep out of debt
when once he gets started IN the right
direction -

PREFER HUNTING PEARLS.
Arkansas Planters May Not Get Cot
ton PiclkerS.

HELENA, Ark, Sept. 3.-The pearl
hunting industry, which has been ex-
citing the whole country, is spreading
all over this end of the state. The ST.
Francis river from the mouth of the
river to Jeffersonville, is lined with
white people and negroes, all engaged
in unearthing and prying open the
richly laden mussel shells. One young
man brought a small bottle of pearls
to Helena, taken from Phillips bayou,
a tributary of the st. Francis. They
are no darker IN color than the or
binary pearls OF commerce, but are
handsomer shaped and are of good
size. All OF the chain of lakes in the
hitherto impenetrable st. Francis river
bottoms are full of these pearl-bearing
mussels, and if they should prove to
be valuable, the whole country will
soon be engaged in the business, to
the detriment Of crop gathering. One
planter said yesterday that he expect
cd to have difficulty in securing hands
to pick his cotton on account of the
pearl excitement.

ICE HIGH IN alaska.
Sells for Fifty Cents n Pound I'm the
KIOndike.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. s.
Imagine ice at so cents a pound at
Dawson, close under the arctic circle,
with the thermometer 80 to 100 in the
shade. A letter received from Edgar
Miner, written from Dawson on June
%, tells of this and other summer
rigors on an arctic climate, and the
life and death struggle with the mos
quitoes.
Things are a little quiet here just
at present" Miner writes, ION &C
count of the scarcity of water. The
weather for the last ten days has been
very hot, the thermometer ranging
from 80 to 100 in the shade, and ice so
cents pound-just think of that for
a place so close to the arctic circle.
Last winter everybody was too busy
digging gold to save ice.
Every few days rumor goes the
rounds that gold has been struck in
some new creek, and at once a stam-
pede is started for that locality, but
the men soon returned empty-handed.
mo one can conceive what terrible
pest the mosquitoes are until he has
experienced them as they are here.
They come out of the wet moss by the
millions. Clouds of them swarm all
over and remain with you, making
their way under your netting and hat,
up your sleeves, and covering your
netting so thickly that you can hardly
breath through it. L have seen grown
men throw up their hands and cry
and howl in despair and almost go
crazy. 1t would take a very large mug
get to tempt me into the mountains
until they thin out some. They say
they will mostly disappear in about
two weeks. The mountains tonight
are on fire in all directions, the fires
being set by men trying to smoke out
the mosQuitoes."
