Shoots Nine of His Fellow
WOrkmen in Machine Shop
Because Somebody Put Tacks
on His Chair.
He HAD TO BE SHOT
Before He Could Be Arrested
by the Marshal,
Who Ordered a Good Marksman
to Do the Job.

Beaver Dam, Wis, Nov. 2.-Adam
Hammer of this city, became suddenly
insane today, and securing a gun,
wounded nine men and was finally shot
Himself to prevent his doing further in
jury.
Hammer was employed In the ma
chine shops Of the j. s. RoweH Manu-
featuring company. He was a good
worker, but at times had spells of sup
posed insanity, the result, 1t IS said OF
religious excitement. His peculiar ways
made him the butt for practical jokes.
Today some one placed some tacl1s on
a stool where he worked, and this an
gered him. He left the shop, went to a
hardware store, where he rented a shot
gun, loaded with two shells, and taking
up his position south of the main build
ing of the plant kept everyone at bay
for over an hour and shooting several
employees through the windows. Final
ly Lieutenant Arthur A. TibbettS of
company A, Second regiment, who has a
reputation for good craftsmanship, was
selected by the marshal to shoot him in
such a manner as to bring him down
without killing him. Lieutenant lib
belts shot Hammer in the right Shout
der with 30 caIibre rife, when he
dropped. He was quickly arrested by
the marshal and taken to the lookup,
where his wound was dressed. 1t was
found to be not serious.
The list Of wounded is as follows:
Theodore B. Powell, shot in the face
and head.
William Chattfeld. shot in the leg.
Marshal Edward PoWderly, shot in
the face.
Michael Meimann, shot twice at close
range, dangerously wounded in the side
and leg.
Justice z. F. Lyons, shot in the right
eye, may lose the eye.
Q. w. Sch1eabitz, shot in head.
John Gerg, shot in the face.
William Geiz, shot in the face.

STARYES HERSELF.
A Brilliant Social Light Becomes a
Notary of Spiritualism.

Warsaw, Poland, Nov. 2.-The death
from starvation Of the Countess Milew-
ska in this city has greatly embittered
the sentiment of the public against the
apostles of spiritualism and hypnotism.
The Countess Nilewska was until
few years ago a brilliant social light.
She was an enormously wealthy young
widow. Her house was the rendezvous
of the votaries of music, literature and
art.
Suddenly the countess withdrew from
the social circle and became an enthusi-
astic follower of spiritualism. As she
had plenty of money and was generous
in expending it, 1t was not long before
numerous spiritUalists gathered around
her and chose her as their leader.
In accordance with her new faith, she
refused all medical aid when she be-
came i'll, and finally, when she was at
tackled with chronic disease, she de
termined to cure herself by abstinence
from all food and drink. Physicians
who were formerly her dearest friends
and who could easily have prolonged
her life for many years, we're refused
admittance to her residence.
At last, her body emaciated and her
mind wandering, she expired. She and
her disciples claimed to the last that
she was not suffering at all, and that
she would rise and come to her friends
after death,

FOLDING BED TRAGEDY.
Brooklyn Mans Thoughtless Act
Causes Little Ones Death.

New York. Nov. 2.-Patrick Dillon ac-
cidentally killed his baby nephew this
morning by closing it up in a folding
bed which he believed unoccupied.
Dillon has been boarding with his
brother and sister-in-law at 735 Gates
avenue, Brooklyn, whose 5-months-Old
baby, Frank, was his especial pet.
This morning the uncle went out to
get the morning papers, and on his re-
turn entered the front room to read
them. A folding bed near the window
was open, as it had been when Dillon
went out, and he paid no particular at
tention to it, except to notice that it
was in his way, when he closed it and
sat down to read.
Half an hour later Mrs. Dillon came
in and inquired for the baby, which she
had placed in the bed during the unele's
temporary absence
The bed was lowered and the child
found dead. It had rolled itself UP in
the sheets and gone to sleep, so Dillon
did not see it when he shut the bed.

DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Amer
leans are certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excite
ment and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result of weak
stOmachs, Of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is fncura.-
bic; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
Of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and PneumOgastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fiicted by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing of oppression and heaviness in the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also pOisons the blood,
makes it thin and Watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, OF some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient form
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time viii cure any form
Of stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.

by druggists at so cents.

DISHONEST OFFICIALS
Cannot Hold the Government to Con-
sequences of Their Actions.

st. Paul, Mimi. Nov. 2.-Judge Thay-
er of the United States court of appeals,
has reversed the decision in favor of
the defendants rendered by the lower
court in the case of the government
against the Pine River Logging and I'm
provement company, involving $4S7, 600
worth of lumber alleged to have been
wrongfully cut and removed from In
dian reservations. The decision settles
some important questions for lumber
men. The principal contention is in re
gard to the meaning Of dead and
down timber, which the court holds is
to be moderately interpreted and is not
to include live and healthy trees which
may happen to be growing in the midst
of timber that is dead or down. The
lumbermen further contend that be-
cause a government representative had
approved the cutting the government is
stopped from such proceedings, and the
lower court so held.
Judge Thayer finds that this position
is not tenabIe. The government repre-
sentative, he says, was derelict in his
duty and his acquiescence can not bind
the government.

scored a great success here and ought to
prove another big New York attraction;
1t treats of the domestic difficulties of
the young couple, played by Ida Conquest

of the young bride.
OF course the husband is quite innocent
and the play ends happily The scene in
the second act was especially good and in
the vein of high comedy.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
An Interesting Experiment Being
Conducted in Porto Rico.

Washington, Nov. Am interesting
experiment of government ownership of
telegraph lines is now being conducted
in Porto Rico. 1t is expected here that
the test now being made in that island
will either show to a great extent the
fallacy or worth of the claims of those
who demand the government ownership
of railroads and telegraphs. When the
Spanish evacuated Porto Rico all tele-
graph lines and offices were turned over
to the United States and placed in
charge of the signal corps. The govern
ment lines were of course conhscated
by the United States, but the rights of
private ownership were respected ac-
cording to the terms agreed upon by
the commissions Of evacuation.
Immediately upon the retirement of
the Spanish officials the entire tele-
graph system was turned over to Lieu
tenant Colonel Glassford of the United
States signal corps. He at once installed
officers and men of his ownin the tele-
graph offices and has been operating
them since. The lines are nOminally I'M
der the control of the war department,
but are conducted in much the same
manner as the telegraph in the United
States.
