FROZE BOTH FEET
But Found Baby on His Return
Home.
From the Springfield Advance.


On Thursday night last, Mr.. Isaacs,
q Jew who keeps small store at Nc
Cleary, had terrible experience in
the storm from the effects of which
he is severe sufferer. He started to
go to- Mr.. Schumacher's, neighbor,
for help, his wife being i'll. He wan
dered on the prairie with horse and
cutter, and realizing that he was lost
he unhitched the horse thinking that
the animal would know the way home.
The horse ran away and was soon lost
to view. Mr.. Isaacs wandered be-
wildered and nearly overcome by the
terrible cold until he came to the
house of Mr.. Kunz, where he was
warmed and sent out with another
horse to get home. He was lost again
and hitching the horse to fence
went up to what he thought was a
hay stack, to find it was his own
house. Upon entering he found that
while he had been having such terri
BILE experiences on the prairie, little
child had arrived at his home, both
mother and new born infant doing
we'll. Mr.. Isaacs had suffered severe
" from the cold. DR.. Sullivan was
summoned from Springfield and found
that he had frozen both feet quite
badly, though the doctor thinks that
amputation will not be necessary.

assignment yesterday for the benefit

taking an inventory. The schedule of
assets and liabilities have not yet been
filed and it is impossible to get at the
accounts.
Mr.. Ackmann has been in failing
health for the past year or more and
the assignment is probably due to the
fact that he could not attend to his
own business.

BELGIUM'S ROYAL SCANDAL.

The Antecedents of Princess Louise and
Her Paramount
The world was startled the other day at
the news, cabled from Berlin, that Princess
Louise, the eldest daughter of King Leopold
II of Belgium and wife of Prince Philippe
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, had eloped
with an Austrian officer of hussars.
The princess is now exactly 80 years old,
having been born in 1868. Two children
have been born of her union with Prince
Philippe. The first, a boy, Leopold Glenn
emit Philippe August Marie, was born in
Hungary in 1878; the second, girl, Doro-
THE Marie Henriette Augustine Louise,
was born in Vienna in 1881.
Prince Philippe, the deserted husband,
Is lieutenant general in the Bulgarian
army, chevalier of the Austrian order Of
the Golden Fleece and bears the title of
royal highness
just why the princess should have found
it necessary to attract public attention by
means of an elopement it is difficult to
understand, for any one who has any
knowledge of Viennese society is perfectly
aware that she was left free to amuse her
self as she listed and that if her husband
neglected her he, at any rate, never dream
ed of interfering with her.
Princess Louise is particular favorite
of Queen Victoria, the only one, indeed, Of
the descendants of her favorite uncle, the
late King Leopold of Belgium, with whom
her Britannia majesty has been able to get

$50 Each-The Chase Around the World
That Resulted In His Capture.
"The monster of the Blue mountains
that is the title by which Frank Butler
Is known in Australia. How we'll he de-
serves it this story will show.
Butler was arrested in San Francisco
the other day charged with murder on the
arrival of the ship Swanhilda from Aus
tralia. Butler was sailor on the Swan
hilda and called himself Lee Weller, which
was the name of one of his victims.
The Blue mountains, in New South
Wales, were the scene Of Buffers horrible
work. 1t is known that at least IA persons
have been murdered by him for the pur-
pose of robbery, and for good reason it Is
believed that many more have been his
victims during the last year, for many
persons who have lnysteriously disappeared
have been traced into his company and
then all track of them has disappeared.
This man, whose right name is supposed
to be Frank Butler, has during his terrible
career, while burying his victims from
New South Wales to Western Australia,
gone under numerous aliases, and at times
even taken the names of persons he has
murdered.
He was last known as Captain Lee We'll
Ter, and the veritable Captain Weller was
one of his victims. He has also during
his career of crime, when change of name
has frequently been necessary, been known
as Frank HARDWOOD, S. Burgess, Simpson
and Care
No murderer outside of the imagina-
ton of a De Quincy, not even Buchanan,
has been more deliberate and methodical
in the commission of his crimes. Murder
has been his profession, and he has made
it an art. His numerous crimes were COM
mitted simply as acts of business-for the
profit there was in them. There was no
element of hatred, revenge or insanity in
his acts. But they were simply that he
might possess himself of the few dollars
that belonged to his victims.
His plans were carefully laid, and he
obtained his prey by appealing to the de-
sire of men to earn honest wealth in the
