Port with Dead Commander on

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2-The
! United States transport Senator ar
rived last night from Manila with
her flag at half mast on account OF
the death of Colonel Alex. Hawkins,
commander of the Tenth Pennsylya.
MIA regiment, United States Volun-
tcers. The Senator sailed from Ma
Mia on July |. with thirty-eight Off
GERS and 721 enlisted men. The
transport was at Nagasaki on July
Is, when Colonel Hawkins was taken
i'll with cancer of the bowels, from
which he had been a sufferer during
the greater part of his campaign in
the Philippines. and for which he
had undergone treatment in the mil
itary hospital at Manila.
His illness continued during the
following day, July l6, when the
Senator was at Yokohama, and two
days later he passed away at sea.
Colonel Hawkins illness dated from
the battle OF Malalos, when he ex
posed himself almost recklessly in
the disease breeding climate. He
was respected and loved by every
man OF his command, and his death
is deeply mourned by the troops.
His body was placed in hermeti-
cally sealed casket, and ON the Sun
day following his death, impressive
funeral services were conducted by
the chaplain OF the regiment, all of
his men being in attendance.
The remains were placed in the
stern OF the vessel and lay in state,
attended day and night by guard
of honor, during the remainder of
the voyage The casket will be
taken ashore to-day with ceremonies
befitting Colonel Hawkins rank, af.
ter which the remains of the dead
commander will be sent to Pennsyl
vania for intcrment
After the death of Colonel Haw-
kins, the command of the regiment
was vested in Lieutenant Colonel
Barnett, who, like the dead com
mander, is popular among the en-
listed men, and made a good record
in the war.
The Senator had a good trip from
Japan. With the exception of the
sad Illness and death of the regimental
commander there was no sickness
aboard, barring few cases OF sea-
sickness and a half dozen cases of
dysentery. AT sight of land all the
invalids were able to leave their hunks
and line up on the main decks, except
one poor fellow who has developed
symptoms of appendicitis and who
will be operated upon in the hospital
here.
When the Tenth Pennsylvania left
for the Philippines last year the mus
ter comprised $50 men. Twenty -four
we're killed in battle or died in the
Manila hospital and the rest of the
sick and wounded to the number of
seven, are on the hospital ship Relief,
which will probably arrive within the
next few days.
Lieut.. Colonel Barnett who is in
command of the regiment in the
course Of an interview tonight, said
1.-THE boys are all glad. OF course, to
get back home again, but their joy is
tinged with sadness on account of the
death of Col. Hawkins.
THE Colonel was kind and con-
siderate commander, who took IA keen,
individual interest in his men, and it
is little wonder that they feel hi,

SUICIDE OR MURDER.
Mystery Regarding the Death of West
Virginia Soldier.

A few weeks ago the body of Will
Allen, a discharged soldier from the
Philippines, reached his fathers home
in Tyler county, and was buried, the
paper accompanying it indicating the
boy had committed suicide at San
Francisco.
Later letter was received by the
parents to untiea bandage around the
dead soldiers head and they would
find he was shot in the back of the
head, the ball coming out at the eye,
and claiming he was murdered. The
body was exhumed on Monday and
found as the letter indicated. An old
carbine was sent with the body, which
the letter states. was done for effect.
The case has been placed in the hands
of the United States authorities, who
have sent a man to California TO in

SEVERAL RIBS BROKEN.
ars. 4. J. Gilmore Fails and is Badly
Injured at her Home.

Mrs. 7. J. Gilmore OF Sunnyside
is suffering from the effects OF an
accident which occurred in rather
a peculiar manner. While she was
preparing break fast she stepped on
tomato skin which had fallen on
the floor and was thrown heavily,
falling on her back. Several ribs
were broken by the fall and she was
injured in other ways from the
strain.
Dr. L S Brock was called and is
waiting on her. She is resting as
easily as could be expected on ac-
count of the injuries received. Every
one is sorry to learn of the accident
and we trust that she may shortly
recover from the effects of it.

fortunately, the rush and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lieu of a life spent partly in the woods
and on the water, a man must find some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
him and incite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is the only thoroughly effective
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood, the stomach, the large intestines and
the liver. 1t facilitates the fow of the di-
gestive juices in the stomach aud the
production Of healthy chyle in large guam
titles in the large intestines 1t invigorates
the liver and purifes and enriches the

are torn down and replaced by new and

DIAMOND ROBBERY.
People Known in Morgantown are
Robbed Near Boston.

Mr.. aud Mrs. Is. W. Peterson of
Wheeling are very well known in Nor
gantown. They are prominent peo-
pie Of the first city of the state. Mr..
Peterson is one of the largest manu-
facturers of that place. They recent
ly went to Glouchester summer re-
sort near Boston to spend the sum-
mer. The following dispatch tells of
a robbery in which Mrs. Peterson was
robbed of diamonds valued at SO, 225.
BOsTON, August 2-The police of
Gloucester have been busy all day in
vestigating big diamond robbery at
the Oceanside hotel, Magnolia. About
a week ago Mr.. B. w. Peterson and
family registered from Wheeling, w.
Va. They were people of wealth and
Mrs. Peterson's display of diamonds
was lavish. In their rooms, were
three trunks. Yesterday afternoon
the trunks were locked as was also the
ROOM. In one trunk there were the
jewels valued at SO, 225, in jewel
bag. At 3 o'clock Mrs. Peterson re-
turned to her room. There was no
evidence of the robbery. The door
was locked as she left it, and the
trunks also apparently undisturbed
Mrs. Peterson found the jewelry gone
and 1925 in money was missing.
Evidently the robbery had been com
mitted by some one thoroughly famil-
lar with the premises. Circumstan-
tial evidence seemed to favor the sup
position that it was done by profess
sional. The movements of the family
were we'll noted and during the slight
interval of twenty minutes during
their absence from the room the
job was done.

STRANGE LOSS OF A BABY
Excitment in Derby, Conn.,, Over
Supposed Abduction.

DERBY, Conn. Nov. 1s.-woodbridge
lying two miles east of this city. among
the hills, is excited over the supposed kid
naping OF five-year- Myra Hanson. the
blue-eyed little daughter of Charles Han
son. a farmer, and his wife. Myra was
romping up and down the road in front of
the farmhouse Thursday afternoon, when
her mother saw strange man and wo-
man walking past. Called at that moment
to another part of the house, Mrs. Hanson
lost sight of the couple and did not give
them another thought. At dusk. an hour
later, she went to the door to call Myra
There was no response. Hunting every
where, the mother could not find her child.
When her husband came in from the fields
she sent him to the neighbOrs. but they
had seen nothing of the little one.
Soon twenty men and women were
searching the woods i'll every direction.
Morning dawned, with no clew to the
child's whereabouts, and not until then
was the disappearance attributed to the
mysterious couple the mother had seen.
The police of New Haven and all the
other nearby cities and towns were noti-
fed. and the search has since been vigor-
ously prosecuted, but without result. 1t
was said yesterday that bay horse tied
to a fence post and an empty buggy were
seen near the farm Thursday afternoon.
A farmer who came into town from Great
Hills Friday night, who then heard Of the
child's disappearance for the first time,
said that he saw a man, woman, and child
going west toward the New York State
line Friday morning.
The man was very thin and the wo-
man stout. They were dressed in black.
This tallies with the description given by
Mrs. Hanson. The missing child is rather
small for her age. has golden hair, and a
peculiarly soft voice. Her parents are be-
side themselves with grief and anxiety.
Their neighbors consider the loss their
own, and it would go hard with the sup
posed kidnapers should they fall into their
hands.
