HEADLESS BODY FOUND
Discovery of a Most Brutal Crime Near
Lowell, Mass.

Lowell, Mass, June 10.-Under q
heap of brush in the woods in Chelps-
ford, near this city, was found the
headless body of a woman. The head
had been severed by series of slashes
with some dulledged tool, probably an
old Ratchet. The clothing gives no
clue to the woman's identity.
She was probably killed some six
weeks ago, the fact that she wore
heavy underclothing and the stage of
decomposition indicating this. Aside
from undercholthiRg Of an extra good
quality and corsets TIE Msman wore
no clothing. She was Fohntly q wo-
man Of refinement and fU0s used to la
Dor, for the hands dfe small, we'll
shaped and free from marks of toll.
She was five feet four inches tall,
probably about 80 years of age. and
weighed 40 pounds. The body lay
with the feet protruding from the
brush and within plain sight of log
road that Is often travelled over. No
wood choppers have been in the woods
Lear where the body was found for
four months.
So far as can be learned no woman
Is missing from this section, and the
police believe the woman was murder
ed at some point a considerable dis
lance away and the body secretly
placed where it was found. The search
for the head is now being made in an
organized way, but the police do not
expect to find it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is cured by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tuble
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tuble restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by cattarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous sufaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caus d by
catarrh) that can not be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

AssYRIAN ON THE ROCKS
Big Leyiand Liner Strikes Cape Race st

Full speed.
st. Johns, n. f., June S.-The Ley
land steamer Assyrian from Antwerp
for Montreal, with 1000 tons of cargo,
went ashore off Cape Race during the

total wreck. Her crew had great
difficulty in escaping and reaching the
shore. The Assyrain was running at
full speed through the fog when she
struck Cape Race, and she now lies
almost hulk ON the coast. For three
days Captain Dingle had been navigat-
ing by the log and he had calculated
upon course rounding Cape Race
thirty miles south of land. THIS plan,
however, was frustrated by nOrtherly
currents.
The Assyrian struck at / 40 O'Clock.
Land had been sighted only minute
before. The fog was dense and there
was no time to reduce speed. She
struck the face of the cliff and was
forced upon the outlying rocks. The
impact tore out the bottom of the two
forward holds. She heeled over to the
starboard when her side glanced
against the cliff. The crew at first

precautions were taken to secure the
safety of all on board. When the ex-

closed it was seen that she was badly
damaged, but would outlast any ex-
cept severe storm. The arrival of
daylight enabled Captain Dingle to
land the mate, who climbed the cliffs,
proceeded to Cape Race station and
telegraphed the news of the disaster.

so unjust that he could not cease to

MRS. MKINLEY IMPROVES
Very Slowly, but Enough to Cause Hopes
FOR Her Recovery.

Washington, June 10.-The slight
improvement in Mrs. McKinley's
health which manifested itself the lat
ter part of last week, continues, and
hope begins to be felt that she may,
after all, recover from the present at
tack. The improvement, however, is
so slight as not to change materially
the extreme gravity Of the case. Mrs.
McKinley's physicians say her illness
was caused by blood infection from a
bone felon. While in California this
was aggravated by diarrhea, which is
now under control.
The principal cause of anxiety in her
case since her arrival in Washington
has been acute endocarditis Gnfiamma-
tion of the lining membrane of the
heart, involving the mitral valve, the
result of the same blood infection.

Destroys Wheat on 400 Farms.
Wichita, Kan, June 10.--A cores
pondent who arrived here last night
from the scene of storm devastation
In Kay county, o. T., says that the
storm of Friday night ruined thewheat
crop of 400 farms west and northwest
of Blackwell. These farms are all In
None body of territory. The farmers,
who had purchased Irvine and harvest
machinery are asking the local dealers
to take them back, and the dealers
have referred the matter to the fac
tories. The loss of crops will cause
no distress, as the farmers are in good
condition financially, owing to a sue
cession of good crops during the past
five seasons.
The storm did not confine its havoc
to inanimate things, however. Three
persons were killed and number
wounded at Eddy. The storm covered
stretch of country ten miles wide
and thirty-six miles long, destroying
towns, farm houses and crops. The
three persons killed at Eddy are: Mrs.
Maude McGathey, Louis McGathey
and Robert McGiffin; injured, Charles
Goldsmith, skull fractured John Nc
Brain, leg broken; Hugh Prather nose
broken; Judd McWillams, head
crushed; Howard flanagan, head bad
ly crushed; Ruby Hignbothen, face
crushed and internal injuries; A. ID.
Evans, leg broken.
The rain simply fell in torrents from
early in the evening until midnight.
The fury of the storm centered at
about 6:3O p. IN. at a point near the
Kansas state line, and just on the
county lines of Kay and Grant, o. Il.
In the little town of Eddy of twelve or
fifteen buildings in the place all were
leveled to the ground except the rail-
road station and elevator. The track
of the cyclone between this point and
TOnkawa, distance of eight miles,
was laid waste. Five farm houses,
with barns and outbuildings, were
blown away, but the occupants es-
capped unframed. The tail end of the
storm fell upon Tonkawa. Thirty
dwellings and business houses were
scattered like so much loose lumber.
The citizens of Inc town had been
watching the advance of the storm,
and had sought shelter in caves and
cellars. No fatalities are reported at
this point
