Omaha, Neb., Jan. 5.-Rachel Wocht-
man, beautiful Russian Jewess. is re-
ported to be practically held in captivity
at l15 North Twelfth street by Isaac
Keteiman to force her to marry his son.
The girl was sent passage money to pay
her way to Omaha, but a friend of the
Ketelman family wrote her not to come,
as the man she was supposed to marry
upon reaching here was weak mentally.
The girl needed this warning, and, after
some correspondence, a second amount
was forwarded by the Ketelmans, with
Instructions for her to come at once.
Upon reaching Omaha the girl, who is
10 years of age and does not understand
he English language. went Immediately
to the Kctelman residence. The boys
parents have since refused to allow her
20 go upon the street unattended, and it
is insisted that they are using every
means in their power to force the mar
:iage.

ing from a Protracted Attack

Chicago, H., Jan. Phillip Danforth
Armour philanthropist, financier, and
one hundred times millionaire, head of
the vast commercial establishment that
bears his name-died at his home, 211o
Prairie avenue, at $40 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
A muscular affection of the heart,
known to the medical profession as myO-
carditis, was the immediate cause Of
death. He had been rapidly recovering
from pneumonia that for three weeks had
threatened his life. At 9 o'clock yester-
day morning his heart gave way under
the strain of his recent illness, his pulse
running up to 103. That was the begin
ming of the end.
Mr.. Armour was surrounded by his
family when he died. Those at his bed
side besides his physician and nurses were
his wife, Mrs. Philip d. Armour, Jr., and
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Ogden Armour. The
millionaire retained consciousness until
within an hour of his death.
Ready for Deaths Summons.
During the day he had realized that
death was near. To those around him he,
had said:
Il know / am very sick, and am ready
for death when it comes.
Soon after lunch. and just before the
physician forbade his talking more, Mr.
Armour in feeble tones said that he would
like to hear the Lords Prayer read.
One of the trained nurses who had been
attending him drew chair to the bed
side and slowly read from the Bible the
prayer from which the dying man had
asked. It was read sentence by sentence
and each was repeated by Mr.. Armour.
When the amen had been repeated by
him he sank back on the pillow and
closed his eyes restfully 1t was the last
word the great financier spoke except fee

New Embryo Makes Old Wheat Grow

The statement has frequently been
made that it is possible to cause grains
of wheat found in ancient Egyptian sep
ulchers to terminate and grow. This
statement has been disputed, and the
question was discussed at recent meet
ing Of the French Academy Of Sciences.
1t was shown that while the albumen
of wheat found in a tomb 5000 years
old had undergone no alteration, the en-
bryo was changed and could not be
caused to terminate. But fresh en-
bryo placed in the ancient albumen would
grow, and this fact, it was said, proba-
bly, accounted for the statement that the
old Egyptian wheat rescued from it's long
entombment would sprout and grow

CAST ON THE ROCKS.
Steamer laqua, with Thirty or Forty
Persons Aboard, Wrecked
on Pacific Coast.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 5.-The
steamer Iaqua, which left this city yes
terday afternoon for San Diego with a
cargo of general merchandise, was
wrecked some time last night on Dux-
bury reef. just outside the Golden Gate
Chief Engineer Burrill was washed
ashore on an overturned boat after being
in the water two hours There were
between thirty and forty persons on
board the Inflated vessel at the time of
the accident
Thrown Upon the Rocks.
The Iaqua sailed from Eureka several
days ago for San Pedro and put in here
yesterday to land some passengers. AS
soon as that duty had been attended to
Capt Basch put to sea again. How the
disaster occurred is not known. sbut
there was a heavy swell on outside the
Heads last night and it is probable the
unfortunate vessel, drifting too near the
reef in the haze that overspread the
water, was thrown upon the rocks by the
swell. She is total loss.
+ Chief Engineer Burrill reached the
shore and telephoned to William g.
Mugan, representative Of Dolber & Car
son, agents for the vessel in this city.
saying the steamer was in distress and
asking for assistance. Tugs also at once
started for the scene of the disaster.
These facts were communicated by Mr..
Dolber early today. but he could give no
further facts. Mr.. Dolber owned one
eighth of the vessel and the other seven
eghths were owned by the Humboldt
Single Manufacturing association, by
whom she was loaded. Mr.. Dolber said
the steamer was on her way to this
port, but in this he evidently is mistak-
en-, as the records of the Merchants ex-
change show that she cleared for San
Pedro at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Vessel Goes to Pieces.
At 2 o'clock this morning it was report
ed from Point Reyes that the vessel had
gone to pieces.
Only one life, that of a sailor, was lost.
