The wonderful success of S. 8. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated

Reporter Russell Shot.

Joplin, Nov. 16.-M. f. RUSSELL a
newspaper reporter, met a mysteri-
Gus death early this morning. He
shot himself accidentally, with suici-
dial intent or was assassinated.
The shooting is enveloped in a mys-
terry that the most careful investiga-
ton has failed to solve. Russell re-
Gently came here from Ohio and en-
gagged in mining, and at the same
time began reporting for the Herald.
About 2 O'Clock this morning Russell
went to his room, and without light
ing the gas, began undressing. He
was talking with his room mate
about his mining interests, when a
SHOT was heard and Russell sank dy-
ing to the floor with a stream of
blood pouring from his forehead. His
own pistol, IA 32-caliber, dropped to
the floor. One cartridge shell was
empty and the presumption was that
Russell had accidentally shot himself.
To-day an investiga ton showed that
the pistol barrel was clean and there
was no sign of powder marks on his
face. Russell was standing near an
o! en- window at the time the shot
was fired. and one theory is that he
was assassinated by some person
from the outside Russell had been
roasting tie footpads and thugs who
are committing so many depreda-
tions here, and some persons believe
he was shot one of them. The
coroner's Jury is sill investigating
the case.

Phelps replied that he had been walk
ing IN and out OF town that week I'M
til his feet were sore, and that If any
walking was to be done that day
Stone would do it himself Stone
didn't like it very much for he
thought he would attract more at

in good humor again, for they were
together again after that and there
was no i'll feeling between them. In
fact when the congressional conven-
ton met and it was apparent that
the vote of Jasper county would nom
mate Stone, the friends OF Judge
CAN'T tried to have Phelps take the
CAN'T votes and the Jasper county
votes and nominate himself in place
of Stone, and nearly all the Jasper
county delegation urged him to do
so, but he declined and said he was
for Stone and if the Jasper county
delegation could nominate him.
Stone would be nominated. And
later. the democratic committee of
Jasper county assessed Stone 500
for the campaign, which he forgot to
pay, and at the last meeting before
the election the committee ordered
the tickets printed with Stones name

went before the committee and paid
the assessment and saved Stone. and

RACE FOR LIFE.
Steamer COnemaugh Sank as She En-.
tered Chicago HarbOr.

Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE steamer
Conemaugh of the Anchor Line sank
at the mouth of the harbor early this
morning after having race for her
life The steamboat, bound into
to Chicago from Buffalo, in the dense
Jog that hung over Lake Michigan,
ran into the halfway crib. annie and
q half out of the harbOr entrance,
and a great hole was stove into her
bow.
Panic seized the crew. The boat
commenced to fill with water fast
and there was IA rush for the boats
The captain gave orders to turn on
all steam and make a quick run for
the harbor and commanded the men
to stand at their posts
The engineer had the steam on at
full head and the timbers of the YES
sci grOaned under the unwonted
strain, and there was danger of an
accident from the extreme pressure
of speed. But Captain Cronkhite
felt that lives depended upon the
quickness with which he could reach
the shallower water of the harbOr EN-
trance.
The Conemaugh was settling fast
and her speed was diminishing great
" before half that distance had been
traversed.
Everybody showed the feverish
eagerness of men fighting against
death. A few hundred yards from
the harbor entrance it looked as if
the boats would have to be resorted
to after all. On the freighter there
are only two of these cumbrous and
not often used, and it was a question
to the crew, whether they would be
safe. As the mouth of the harbor
was gained floods of water poured
into the fire hold, drove the stokers
up the ladders to the deck and at
last extinguished the fires under the
boilers. The steamer was then drag
ging on the bottom.
Fears OF going down in deep water
were then abandoned by Capt. Cronk-
hite and the crew, only to be replaced
by apprehensions that the boilers
might explode.
However, although clouds of steam
came pouring from the hold there
was no explosion and soon the water
had cooled the boilers The Cone
maugh came to stop as her keel
rubbed hard i'll the mud at the bot
tom of the harbor entrance and she
settled fast.
The steamer was loaded at Buffalo
and carried freight from eastern
points.
1t is thought the loss on the cargo
alone will be i'll the neighborhood of
500, 900.
