CHICAGO HAS, A MYSTERY
In the Death of a Dynamiter Nance

CHICAGO, October 2-The funeral sery-
ices over the remains of Thomas Brow yes-
terday were interrupted in order that the
body about to be buried might be identi-
fled as one of the conspirators in the wreck
ing by dynamite of the Heldmaier and
Edgeworth stone yards six weeks ago. The
identification will release an innocent man,
who is at present locked up in the county
jail charged with knowledge of the crime.
Frank Hardy, who had turned states evil
dence, was taken to the Brow residence to
make the Identification. He was not told
what was wanted of him and he was led
into the house where the mourners and
friends were gathered about the coffin.
Approaching the coffin Hardy was told to
look upon the face of the dead man. One
glance and Hardy's face turned white and
he was visibly agitated. He said: That
body is of the man they called Lou, and he
lit the fuse at the stone yards"
Brow's death adds a new phase Of mys-
terry to the case. He arrived in Chicago two
days ago suffering from severe injuries TO
his legs. While being taken home in the
police ambulance he became unconscious
and died few hours later. The police are
now investigating the cause of his death.
At the time of the explosion at the stone
yards the lives of hundreds of persons in
the neighboring houses were endangered.
They were saved only by the bad manner
in which the work was handled. The dyna-
miters tried to wreck the machinery in the
yards.

GOV. SHAW AN OPTIMIST
HE POINTS OUT THE BLESSINGS OF
TODAY.
Cites the Case of the Farmers i'm Par
ticulaf as Evidence OF
the Fact.

DES MONIES, Iowa, October 2.-Fu1ly
six hundred delegates from all parts of the
country attended the opening meeting of
the sixth annual session of the National
Grain Dealers Association in this city to-
day. Governor Leslie M. Shaw delivered
an address of welcome on behalf of the
state of Iowa. and, in the course of his re-
marks, stated that when the first bushel
of wheat was transportedaby rail from the
Missouri river to the Atlantic ocean, thence
by ship to Liverpool 1t cost 61 cents to
thus market it. 1t now costs 21a cents to
take a bushel of wheat from the Missouri
river to Liverpool. This is due to improved
roadbeds, lighter grades, fewer curves,
heavier iron and larger locomotives. Our
people all understand this and they are
both contented and happy. They are build
ing better houses, planning better schools,
putting more pianos in their parlors, more
books on their shelves, more sunshine In
their homes and are advancing the prices
of their farms. These can now be rented
for cash, and will pay a better income for
twice their market value than government
bonds at current quotations"
Mayor Hartenburger followed in giving
a welcome to the city and Mr.. Lafe Young
extended welcome for the Cereal Club
The responses We're made for the east by
e. l.. Rogers of Philadelphia, and for other
sections by prominent delegates to the con-
greSS.
President B. A. Lockwood of Des Moines
then delivered his annual address to the
association. He reviewed the history of the
organization, starting as 1t did with only
a few members in Chicago in 1896, and
had gradually grown until now there are
1000 members, with an affiliated member
ship of 1,645. In speaking of it's field, he
stated that it included interstate work, ar
bitration and appeal boards. common car
riers, state and national laws, terminals
and central markets, trade rules and Gus
toms, grain inspections, car inspection and
weighing.

The following dispatch was bulletined at
the State Department this morning:

General Wu, with 1,500 soldiers, routed
Triad rebels in Singing district, Swatow,

with previous advices that the department

do with the present outbreak, but that it is
local disturbance growing out of famine
conditions that the Chinese government can
suppress.

SEVENTEEN MEN ENTOMBED.
No Hope for the Men In Nanaimo, b
c.. District.


NANAIMO, B. c., October 2-The extern
sion mine situation remains practically
unchanged. Seventeen men are known to
be entombed in No. 2 SLOPE The mines
are now sealed to prevent the egress of air
and SO smother the flames. This is the
only way of extinguishing the fire and it
will take months to effect the result de-
sired. All efforts have SO far failed to pre-
vent certain amount Of air leaking in
and this has, once or twice, caused ex-
plosions which have blown out the Stop
pings
Such an explosion on a large scale would
utterly wreck the mines and it is feared
that 1t may happen at any moment. Pre-
mier Dunsmuir has promised-to find work
for at least half Of the 500 men who are
thrown out Of employment. All except
two of the victims have families, and relief
funds have been opened In their behalf
All the bodies, Of course, cannot be re-
covered until the fire is extinguished.

7 AID II

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. II is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, III fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated BY
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
net reach the seat Of the trouble. S S. S.
does. 1t cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
