Oconomowoc, Wis, Nov. 20.-A nys- terious tragedy was committed at this place some time last night at the resi- dence. of Ernest Cornell.

Ernest Cor nell, their father, was lying on the floor with gash across his throat which extended from ear to ear.
 Cornell was able to make a statement after his throat was sewed up.

According to Cornell, his Cor nells) wife. and Lewis were together much of the time. Cornell said last eve ming he asked his wife not to leave the house with Lewis, but she refused and went in spite of his entreaties.
 When Mrs. Cornell entered the house this morning she expressed great sur prise at the condition of Cornell, and later appeared greatly shocked when she b 'heid the two children.

ANALYSIS OF MERCHANTS STOMACH
Deferred Through the Serious Condition of
 the Physicians Hasd.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-The analysis of the contents of John B. Ketcham's stomach, upon which practically depends the cx- oneratlm of Mrs. Mabel Wallaca-Walk- up, received an unexpected setback to- day. .e
 Coroner's Physician Noel was com pelled to leave hfs task, as the hand which he had scratched at the post mcG- tenn became much worse and the blood poisoning which has set in promises to be serious. No report can be made until Monday. Until then the widow must wait for the vindication which she ex- poets. The analysis will determine con clusively whether the stomach contained more strychnTne than can be accounted for by pr. Deveney's prescription, given but few hours before death.
 Attorney Purnell, representing the in- terssts of the relatives of the dead club man, called on States Attorney Dneen this afternoon and asked him to lay the matter before the grand jury should the coroner's verdict warrant such a pro- ceeding.

 Bismarck Wearies of Statues

Berlin, Nov. 2O.-The economic council, which began it's session this week, and whose most important meetings will be attended by the emperor, is a body es- pecially called together by the govern snent to devise the best measures need. d in regard to international tariff relations with special reference to the United States and Grent Britain and her colo nies. The council is composed of a score of technical and practical exper;s in manufacture, agriculture. trade and banking, ss we'll as a number of ihe high CT government officials
 Kairer Acts Ugly
 On Monday evening, when Count yon Posadowsky entertained the council at dinner, the emperor snubbed Count voD Kanitz unmerc.fully. This fact is in,er- preted as meaning that the agrarian in- terests will not be paramount in the de- Alterations of the council.
 Favors the Inter-Central Canal
 Another factor pointing the same way is that his majesty, in conversation that evening, enthusiastically praised the in ter-cenltral canal project, intending the joining of all the principal German riv- CTS, the Elbe, the Rhine, the Weser ana the Oder. The project is not new one. The agrarian party, however, IS Vlo- lently opposed to canal systems because its members fear a further cheapening of cereals by reason of their easier trans portation.
 The emperor spoke in such glowing terms of the canal project that 1t is ex- pected bill embodying his ideas will be resented to the reichstag or else be made an issue of the coming elections.
 Will Swallow His Pride
 Emperor William intends to open the reichstag in person, which he has not done since 1894. It is supposed his naval projects are so near and dear to his heart that he will, on that occasion, overcome the repugnance he feels for the present reichstag in order to bring about the passage of the measures pro viding for the strengthening of the Ger man navy.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press hears, on good authority, that if the temper of the rsichstag, early dur ing the coming session, becomes clear as being adverse to the naval projects the emperor will dissolve that body forthwith. The new elections could then be held early in the spring.
 Delegates Will Go to Jail
 Four of the socialist delegates, Her ren Liebknecht, Hord. Luetgenan and Buel, who have besn convicted of lese majeste, will be forced to spend peri cd of the coming reichstag session in jail.
 Another editor, Herr Feldmann, has peen sentenced to four weeks imprison- ment for unfavorably criticising King Leopold of Belgium.
 Bismarck Wearies of Statues
 In view of the growing number of Bis marck's statues Prince Bismarck is re- ported recently to have said "It an- noys me to see myself stationed on a folio sized pedestal" The ex-chancel- Tor has thus far refused to attend any unveiling of statues erected in his honor.

I take great pleasure IN stating that I
had several years acquaintance with the
president of the English and German Spe-
clalists in the east, where he restored me
to health after many celebrated eastern
physicians had failed to help me. Since
coming to California l was injured in a
street car accident and suffered from ner-
vous shock and nervous protration and
was in a most serious condition. I went
to the English and German Specialists in
the Byrne building and was cured. They
certainly did wonders for me, and 1 can
cheerfully recommend them to any one
suffering from the various troubles that
flesh is heir to. They are honest and honor
able gentlemen in every sense of the word,
and will tell you the truth about your dis
ease. I will be glad to have interested
sufferers write me. Very gratefully,
