MORE EVIDENCE OF HIS GUILT
CAPTAIN BoHEN HOPEFUL OF
CONNECTING HIM.

Captain of Detectives Bohen is hopeful
of convicting DR.. Wachendorf of the muir
der of John Kehlenbeck. Last evening he
received the following communication
from G.. F. Weeks, editor of the Daily
Encinal of Alameda:
note that you have under arrest one DR..
Wachendorf charged with murder, and thar
he has a handbook showing deposits in the HI
bernia Bank. If it is necessary to show that
he dead broke about 1st OF June am IN

and was pretending to be deaf ana ouIli2'

In addition to the letter received from
Weeks Captain Bohen is in possession or
documentary evidence showing that
Wachendorf prior to his meeting with the
alleged victim oS waS o RrofessionaI 6egg4bT by
Police Officer Pete Gillen for begging in
front of the Hibernia Bank, and on
conviction was sent to the House or. Cor
rection for twenty-five days.
Frequently, it is claimed. Wachendorf
appeared on Market street with a ,deaf
the passersby for aims: The police say
that the money he then gained was spent
for cocaine, which he injected into his
detectives silvey and Egan, who have
been specially detailed on the case by
Captain Bohen, last evening visited
Wachendorf's room and took pc, Possession
lice headouarters and broken Open. Con-
ira trary to the expectation of the detec
tives, nothing of an discriminating nature
was found
While admitting that he. was forced to
beg in order to sustain life, Wachendorf
claims that Policeman Gillen made mis-
that he was convicted of the charge, but.
the records of the Police Court, show that
aims on A public thoroughfare. Captain.
Bohen expects. to make out a strong case
against him in the Police, Court, and is.
confident that he will be held to answer
for the murder of his deluded victim.
Last Sunday Dr. Wachendorf visited the
office of Dr. Mcneil at 7S4 Van Ness ave-
nue. and abstracted a valuable book:
which was found last night among the
cocaine f1end's effects at his room.

accomplished in the proposition to have
ali electric and other wires placed under

.ifnprOy ement has been transmitted to the

that it will become a law. There was some
aDprehension that the measure might be
contested by some of the corporations
interested, but the following agreement
sent to the Supervisors, which was
brought about by the association, assures
cooperation instead of opposition:
Having examined the provisions of
the ordinance as submitted herewith

CANCER OF BREAST.

It is said that any lump in a woman's
breast is cancer. Whether true or not,
we know that thousands die every year
from cancer in that location. Recently
we have seen and heard directly of
more than twenty bad cases cured by
a Dr. Chamley at % Third street, this
city, without knife or pain.
The remedy is new and seems to be
an infallible cure.
He can cure whole cancerous breast
without cutting.
One cured is a lady doctor on Ellis
street, a public school teacher on How
ard street, another Mrs. Pickard, %
Third street, and many other promi-
nent people who can be seen by any
body interested.

There Was No Water.

The citizens of the Potrero claim that
the fire which destroyed seven houses on
Friday might have been successfully
fought if there had been sufficient wa
ter supply. They say that the wafer
company has neglected to run the proper
mains. The district gets its supply from
the Visitacion Water Company, whose
reservoir they claim has been pumped
being laid along Indiana street. The
citizens of the Potrero and Southern
Heights have petitioned the Supervisors
pany extend it's mains along the inhab-
tied streets, but the plea has been that the

result in securing sufficient water

HOW TO BUILD A BODY.

One of the most important discoveries
of late is the application of the right
kind of food to rebuild the lost substances
of the body, thrown off by the active,
nervous work of Americans.
Careful investigation by experts in food
and diatetics, has brought cut the face
that albumen, which Is contained In vari-
Gus foods. is acted upon by phosphate
of potash, not such as obtained in drug
stores, but such as is found in certain
parts of the field grains in most minu e
particles, arranged In Natures labora-
tory, not mans.
The part of the grains containing phos-
phate OF potash Is used in the manufac-
ture of Grapc-Nuts food. therefore the ac-
tive, nervous, pushing brain worker can
feed the body with food that goes di-
rectly to the rebuilding of the broken
down gray matter in the BRAIN solar
plexus and nerve centcrs ali over the
body With the result that the individual
who refreshes- and rcbItilds the body with
proper material Of this sort obtains u
definite result. which he can feel ard
know of and which Is apparent to his
friends
A vigorous brain and nervous system s
of greater importance to any business
man or brain worker. than unlimited
quantities of money.

siderable criticism has in a quiet way
been leyeled at Gov. Scofield here, as
practically nothing has been doe for
the cyclone sufferers outside of the gen.
erous help which has come from the Twin
Cities and several of the towns in this
vicinity. If it had not been for the
prompt action of the commercial bodies
of ST. Paul Tuesday serious hardship
would have resulted, as the Wisconsin
officials do not seem to appreciate tn :.
situation here. 1t is not that any o e
here wants to dictate to the governor
as to what he should do, but the e.
gency of the situation appeals to all, as
there are a half thousand homeless peo-
pie who are to be permanently hOus d.
Yesterday the following wire was sent
to Gov. Scofield:
s'Unless physically unable for God and
yourself the terrible evidences of cyclonic
power. Don't hesitate another train; the
presence of our governor is demanded
here. DIR. G. w. Eppley.
Now the best people of the city be-
lieve that it is up to Gov. Scofield to
take action to assist the sufferers. Will :.
it is not known by the G 0 h e whether
this telegram was sent by DR.. Epplfy
at the instance of the sufferers or on his
own responsibility, it expire sses the EN-
timent of nearly every one on the m
mittee.
The very first. aid which came to this
city was from outside the state 1t WIS
gratefully accepted and SO are all the do
nations that have been placed to the
credit of the cyclone fund, but the cons
mittee here believe that the governor
should have come up himself and looked
the ground over
Instead Gov. Scofield sent Maj. Doyan
who has been a great assistance to ie
committee. Gen. Boardman, of the gov
errors staff, has also been on the
ground, but the committee believe that it
should have the cooperation AMI per-
sonal assistance Of the governor.

Passengers arriving In the city last
night over the Omaha reported that the
residents of Hammond, Wis, and Roberts

wind. The air was close and warm and
the general conditions strongly resembled
those which prevailed on Monday night
when New Richmond was wiped out The
storm took course northeasterly, and
as it passed a well-developed cyclonic
formation was visible. The agent at once
concluded that another cyclone had pass
ed, and wired New Richmond. About the
same time the storm passed, near Roberts,
which was the first town notified of the
horror of Monday night. The station
agent there noticed the same formation
which had been observed at Hammond,
and the people, of the village were greatly
excited, fearing another disaster. The.

CYCLONE VICTIMS.
Those in st. Paul Hospitals, With
Two Exceptions, Improving.

With two exceptions, the persons IN
jllred in the New Richmond cyclone who
are being cared for in the local hospitals,
are improving. There were no deaths
yesterday. One new patient, Patrick Cal
lshan, was received at ST. Josephs hos
pital. He is suffering from q compound
fracture of the leg, and is said to be
not dangerously hurt
John Barnet among the most seriously
injured, is in precarious condition at
st. Joseph's hospital. He sustained a
dangerous fracture of the skull which
necessitated an operation soon after ne
reached the hospital. 1t was necessary
yesterday to perform a second operation,
and the patients condition is critical.
The chances for the recovery of C. P.
Gordcnfer, at the City hospital, are no
better than for the last several days. His
spine was badly injured and he had sew
eral ribs fractured The injury to the
spine renders his case extremely doubt
full.
The authorities at ST Lukes hospital
said last evening that all patients were
improving and would probably recover.
