Chicago Professor Digs up History
Against Discovercr's Character.

CHICAGO, Dee. 13-Students
in Prof. James W. Thompson's
class in medieval history IN Chi
cago experienced peculiar SEN
sations of grief and Indignation
yesterday when their instructor
referred to the discoverer of
America as common pirate. "
Columbus, our own Christie
pher Columbus, was pirate. :"
So said Prof. Thompson. "A
common, every day, blackheart-
cd robber Of the seas, girt with
cutlass and pistol and with a
black flag flying oyer his head. !"
is the way the professor pic
lures the discoverer of the
American continent and the erst-
while idol of the school history.
'sIf you will read over the an
nails of the relations between
England and Spain," said the
lecturer, "you will find an ac-
count of charge registered by
the English against a Spanish
ship which took, plundered and
sunk an English vessel on the
Spanish main and cut the throats
of all the crew. You will also
find that among the members of
the crew of theSpanish ship men
toned in the charge occurs the
name of CHRISTOPHER Columbus.
This was our own Christopher
and he was pirate. pure and
simple. The date was 1885, just
seven years before he discovered

IMPORTED MURPHIEs
New York Forced to Eat Potatoes Rails.
ed Abroad--Hish Prices Prevailing.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17--For the
last few weeks probably four
ffths of the potatoes reaching
New York city for consumption
have come from Europe. That
America should be a buyer of
transatlantic potatoes seems
pretty strange to the private con-
sumer, and even those on the in.
side of the potato market admit
that it is rather odd.
The potatoes come from Scot
land, Ireland and Belgium. The
potato crop in these countries
has been particularly good, and
the crop here the worst this
country has had for many years.
Many of the farmers in the last
three weeks refused to sell their
potatoes for love or money, and
those that would sell have been
demanding as much as 80 a bar
rel. That brought the price
here to private consumers up to
81 and s. at time when pota-
toes are usually cheap. Potatoes
abroad can be bought for 20 cents
a barrel. There is q duty of 25
cents a bushel, and this and
other charges bring the cost OF
potatoes from Europe on the pier
at New York to $1.70 a barrel.
Importers, according to reports,
have been cleaning up small for
tunes.

themselves Of the suggestion at
once. They could not dispute
the Kentuckian's logic. They
simply hadn't thought.
Now and then the strangers
advice was resented. The driv-
er of Fire Marshal Campion's
wagon was among the number
who would not tolerate interfer-
ence, even though his horse was
shabbily cared for. There was
an alarm of-fire at Dearborn and
Madison streets early in the
morning. The fire horses ap-
preached the corner on the run.
A blanket was thrown over the
horse attached to Marshal Cam
pion's cart. but it tfuttered loose
ly in the wind and the horses
chest was unprotected. The
Kentuckian stepped to the street
and almost tenderly tucked the
blanket under the breast strap of
the harness.
Let that horse alone! I'm
tending to it," was the thanks he
got.
"You Chicago folks are we'll

to questioner, "but you don't
seem to understand what this
weather means to the poor dumb
brutes. Half the horses in Chi
cago are poorly shod, and when
they fall down they're whipped.
The man who drives with a loose
rein these slippery days is almost
asking his horse to fall. Down
in Kentucky we have an adage
that "a loose rein and a loose
whip go together

balk. Mistreated day in and day
out, why shouldn't they become

ROCKFORD, ILL.,. Dec. 16-The
failure of Conductor William Os-

fast freight train, to understand
or obey his orders was the cause
of a fearful accident on the Illi-
nois Central road at Perryvllle at
1905 Sunday morning. The
freight train. with six cars, west
bound, and running on the time
of the east bound Omaha special
collided with the special on a
curve. Nine persons are known
to have been killed and more
than a dozen injured.
The accident was primarily
due to extreme cold which had
delayed the Omaha flyer due in

track and here the two trains
came upon each other each going

Neither the engineer nor fire
man Of either train had time to

nearly anilihllated that it was
only the merest surmise that

The shock of the collision was
terrible, but 1t was accentuated
by the explosion of the freight

iron were thrown across the
bitches and the roof of freight
car was found in a field a hun
dred yards distant. 1t was on
this mass OF steam enveloped
iron and steel that the first cars
of the freight train and the first
three cars of the special were
flung by the force of impact.
Into the bitter night, with the
icy blast from the north accent

20 degrees below, the passengers
struggled from the coaches.
Bruised, stunned, and only half

At the conference it was de-

UPPER SANDUSk1, Onlo, Dee.
13-Yesterday noon at Carey,
when a small boy was returning
from school. he heard some one
tanning on the window at the
home of Mrs. Valentine Wise
baker. an aged woman. Gong
to the window and looking 10,
he saw Mrs. Wisebaker lying IN
a pool of blood. The little fell
low started screaming down the
street and succeeded in attract
ing the attention of number OF
neighbors, who Went to the
Wisebaker home and entered the
house. The woman was found
on the floor unconscious. Be
side her was a stove poker coy
cred with blood.
The surroundings indicated
that a fierce struggle had occur
red. Blood was spattered every
where. Her skull was crushed
IN two places, her clothing torn,
and her body cut and bruised IN
a number of places. Physicians
were summoned and an exam1na-
ton of her injuries resulted IN
the announcement that she could
not live. Restoratives were ap-
piled, and for a few moments
consciousness was restored.
To inquiries as to who did 1t
she replied that she did not
know. She would give no IN
formation, but admitted that her
son was at her home during the
night.
Her son Jacob lived in anoth-
er part of the city with his wife
and four children. A search for
him was begun. Investigation
resulted in its being learned
that he had been seen leaving
the home of his mother about Q
o'clock in the morning. He had
also been seen going there about
) o'clock. While the search was
in progress a revolver shot was
heard in the vicinity OF Long S
livery stable, but at the time no
attention was paid to it. Later
an attache of the stable found IN
a stall the body OF a man, still
warm, who proved to be Jacob
Wisebaker. He had shot him
self with revolver.
Mrs. Wisebaker had just re-
ceived her pension money, and
the supposition is that her son
went to the house for the pur-
pose of securing it. Ten dollars
of the money is missing, and it
is believed that he took it, for he
gave $40 bill in payment Tor
the revolver.
Another theory is that his
mother gave him SO, and he de-
cided to get the rest and COM
mitted the assault with that OBJ
ject in view. Mrs Wisebaker has
given no information except that
she laid on the floor several hours
before she was able to crawl tc
the window and give the alarm,
