AN SPEECH.
keIly's D~enunciation of Mckinley i'm
London Causes sharp
in English Newspapers.

London, Oct. THE speech of I'll
Kelly, of New York, at the anarchist
meeting held Sunday in a hall in tn,
Tottenham Court road. London, j
which he denounced the late Pres,
dent McKinley's political career, has
led to a revival of the demand for
the eNtirpation of anarchists. The
Pail Mall Gazette compares an
archism with Fenianism, maintains
that the only difference between the
sentiments of anarchists and the war
of outrage advocated by such men rs
former Congressman Finerty is mere
~ one of diverse means to the same
end. urges that the police of the two
-Anglo-SaXon nations be empowered 70
take concerted action to hunt down
the social enemy whether anarchist
or Fenian. and that both governments
refuse them to right of asylum. BY
a coincidence, the Times prints a long
article from Washington, protesting
against the license allowed the Irish
III America against Great Britain.
Commenting on this, the ST. James
Gazette thinks British hands are not
tied altogether, and that no law
would be strained if Kelly and other
foreigners whose cult is murder, re-
ceived immediate notice to quit.

London, Oct. 3.-Lord Kitchener re-
ports that two officers and 81 men
have been killed in an attack made

ly well. The wounded were taken to
R~ustenburg, halfway between Pre-
toria and Mafeking.

losses of the Beers, about two hum

PUZZLES TIE DOCTORS
A Remarkable Case of stSitus Wis.
cerum Inversus" Revealed
at St. Louis.
ONLY A FEW SUCH CASES ARE RECORDED
The Patient Died of
ty of the Doctors to Diagnose His
Case Properly Owing to the Conn
pIete Reversal of All of His In
terror Organs.

st. Louis, Oct. 6.-The ease of Ar
thur Zimmerman, % years old, who
died at the city hopsital, presents a
der of anatomical arrangement, in
that all of his organs which normal
ly should have been on his right side
were on his left side, an vice versa.
Physicians say it is an anomaly so
rare that only scattered instances are
to be found in medical books. DR..
Nietert, superintendent of the cit
hospital, says hat he remembers no
such case since he has been at the
hospital, and hat he regards this one
as most interesting.
zimmerman became illabout a week
ago at his home. A physician was
called in, but the case was puzzling.
There was apparently intestinal in
fammation of a kind similar to APP
pendicitis, but the seat of the trou-
BILE appeared to be on the left side
of the body. Accordingly, a diagnosis
of appendicitis seemed out of the
question.
Zimmerman became worse, and his
physician decided to have him re-
moved to the city hospital, where an
operation could be performed. DIR.
Nietert performed the operation. He
found that a general p~eritonitis had
set in, and hat the source of infec-
ton was on the left side, as the eXter-
nal appearance had indicated. But he
was astonished to discover that the
source of infection was in the appen-
dix, and that the appendix was on the
left side. The appendix was removed.
but the disease was too far advanced
for Zimmerman to benefit by the sur
geon's skill, and he died.
A post-mortem showed that not
alone was the appendix transposed.
The heart was on the right side in
stead of the left; the right lung, with
its three lobes, was on the left side.
and the left lung, with its two lobes.
was on the right side; the stomach
was on the right side instead of the
left; the liver was on the left side
instead of the right, and the spleen
was on the right side instead of the
left.
DR.. Louis Rassieur said that the sci
entific name for sue a case is 'sirus
viScerum inversus." Il never heard OF
such an instance before" said he.
though a few are recorded. / don't
think that the transportation of the
organs had any connection with tbs
appendicitis. That was merely a co
incidence"

Dayton, o., Oct. S.-Mrs. j. A. Wit

been arrested by the police, at the
i~nstigation of the coroner, and is held
ing an investigation into very serious
charges. Mrs. Witwer, the police say,
including four husbands, five children,
one sister and four members of diff
ferent families in which she was en-
ployed as housekeeper. The last sup
posed victim was her sister, Mrs. An

mysterious circumstances. An autop-
sy performed at the request of Mrs
Witwer's mother, who came here
from Detroit, is said to have dis
closed the presence of arsenic and
copperas in the stomach.
Following closely upon the death of
her first husband, Fred Schweger,
came according to police department
data. the death of two children. The
second husband died suddenly several
years after the wedding, and three
children of this marriage died in rap
id succession. Her last husband, A
j. Witwer, died last April, In each
instance death was somewhat sudden.

motive for the suspected crimes has
been disclosed. Drugs, which were
found in the house occupied by Mrs.

lice, and will be examined.

Last Bulletin of the Season.

Columbia, No., Sept. 30.-The Unit
ed States department of agriculture
climate and crop bulletin of ths
weather bureau, Missouri section, for
the week ending September 80, says:
The week just closed averaged de-
cidedly warmer than usual through
out the state with q high percentages
of sunshine. Quite heavy showers
fell in a few of the southwestern
counties on the 25th and Goth, and
moderately heavy rains are reported
in a few of the northern counties,
but over much the greater portion OF
the state the rainfall, up to Saturday
evening, was very light, many of the
southeastern counties receiving none.
Special reports regarding fall seed.
ing indicate hat in a majority of the
northern and western counties one
half to nine-tenths of the wheat crop
has been sown, with the soil in *
cellent condition, and the early sown
is up and looking fine, but in many
of the east-central and southern oun
ties the ground has been too dry and
little seeding has been done. In some
of THE eastern and southern counties
it is feared that wheat that has
sprouted will perish unless rain comes
oon In many localities in the cen.
trail and southern counties little more
than half the land intended for wheat
has been plowed. Reports indicate
that, with favorable weather condi-
tions, an unusually large acreage Of
wheat will be sown in most sections.
Pastures arc improving in a major.
ity of the northern and western coun-
ties, and in some localities in the
western and extreme southeastern
counties they r reported in good
condition; elsewhere they are still
dry and bare.
In some sections considerable rye
has been sown for p~asturage.
Corn cutting is generally complet-
ed, except in some localities where
recent rains have kept the latest
corn green.
Cotton is opening rapidly in tho
southeastern counties and picking
continues under favorable conditions,
but the crop is generally light. Boil
worms have done considerable dam
age in Dunklin county.
Late potatoes are reported a com
plete failure, except in a very few
counties.
Sorghum grown for molasses is
generally very light and much OF it
of poor quality. In a few counties,
however, a fair to good crop will be-
secured. In some sections the crop
was considerably damaged by the re
cent frostS.
In some of the eastern counties tur-
nips are dying from lack of moisture.
Late apples have improved in many
of the western and some of the east
ern counties, and in a number of the
principal apple growing counties a
good crop will be gathered. In many
localities, however, they are still fall
ing badly.

ONE HUGE CHARMED HOUSE.
Awful Mortality that is Rapidly De,
pOpulatinG the Aleutian ISL
ands-Unburied Dead.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE rapid de-
cline of the native population of the
Aleutian chain of islands is told in
a report just received by the Marine
Hospital service from +. j. Thornbury.
its assistant surgeon at Dutch Har.
Dor, Alaska. The report says that
formerly there were 20 villages OF
the islands with a native population
variously estimated at from $500 to
$500. Now, in the same district there
are only ter villages and 1000 inhabi-
tants, exclusive of whites. of whom
800 are creoles (mixed breeds with
Russian and other nationalities) and
200 Aleutes.
The report says:
Last year, Unalaska had 353 inhab-
itants, 116, or nearly one-third, OF
whom died. According to data OBJ
tanned from the Russian priest of
the Greek Catholic church, Rev. p.
Kashereroff, who has the only mortali-
ty records kept in the village, there
being no health officer or even ply
sician, 80 deaths were ascribed &c
cold "a to consumption, SO to

THE remarkable morality from
measles among the natives in Alaska
during the past year appears as
cribable largely to the bad sanitary
environment and lack of precaution
against exposure.
ION the Kuskokwi and in other Sec
tions on the mainland, from one-half
to t~wo-thirds of the natives died and
many were left unburied in the mud
houses where they lived, surviving
members Immediately deserving the
