Chicago River Is Sentenced
to Hang.

CHICAGO, April 19.-The jury in the
case of Louis Toombs. on trial for the
murder of Annie Larsen, on board the
steamer Peerless, the night of Dec 81
1901, tonight brought in a verdict of mur>
der in the first degree, and Toombs was
sentenced to hang. The jury was out but
twenty minutes, and the verdict was
reached on the first ballot.
Toombs was in charge on the steamer
Peerless while - lay in winter quarters
and advertised for a cook. Annie Lar
sen applied for the position, and on the
first night that she spent on the boat
he choked her to death, and, after fur
ther crime threw the body into, the Chi
cago river.
Robert Keissig, a boy on the boat with
Toombs, witnessed the crime. Toombs
compelled him to assist in the disposal
of the body, and two days later Keissig
escaped from the boat and informed the
police. The river was dragged, and the
body of the girl recovered The trial
which ended tonight was the second in
the case.

SODA fountains have come to fill a long
1elt want for the woman shopper Peo-
pie who are not versed in the mysteries
or soda fountains have no idea of the
dimensions to which this particular line
OF business has grown or the uses to
which it is put. There is a large foun-
tam IN drug store on busy corner in
the heart of the shopping district UP town
which has come to be known famiIiarly
as the woman's free-lunch counter. The
name is not far out of the way, for every
day for several hours at noon the place is
11lled with women who get some beverage,
hot usually at this time Of the year,
and with it they are served with a little
dish of crackers in the side Of which is
tucked fresh napkin, and with a ten
cent egg coffee or chocolate many a Wom-
an has bridged over the noon hour and
put the cost Of a more expensive luncheon
into something more or less frivolous in
the way Of dress. The soda water foun-
tain is a great blessing to the woman
shopper. 1t saves her time as well as
money.
A business in soda does not grow with
out attention, any more than a business
of any ether kind When the counter
now known by it's many woman patrons

Your acknowledgment that contest

actions toward the California bid led me
to believe you were trying to avoid a.
meeting. We pledged mutually to agree
on the best bid on a certain date and at
that time the East had not been heard
from and you refused to accept anything
here. l don't want to dictate anything
but want mutual financial interests and

he Is willing, as he always has been, to
meet Fitzsimmons, but he wants the

dence Of good faith before entering into
negotiations.
Fitzsimmons has dilly-dallied so long,
giving every evidence that he feared the
champion, that Jeffries and his support

they demand that Fitzsimmons show he
means business.
All local sporting men believe the
champion has allowed Fitzsimmons every
! opportunity to arrange a match; in fact,
has permitted the willy Bob to infringe
on the privileges which belong to the
champion by right Of conquest, and now
it is time for Jeffries to assert himself.
Men who are in the confidence of JEFF

T. J. McCarey, manager of the Century

Ground the ball into his hip.

Shouted someone on the stand:
And it's likely they'd have killed him,
Had not Casey raised his hand.
With a smile of Christian charity
Great Case&s yisage shone:
He Stilled the rising tumult.
He made the game go on;
He signaled to the pitcher.
And once more the Spheroid flew,
But Casey still ignored it.
And the umpire said. Strike two!"
''Fraudp cried the maddened thousands
And the echo answered Fraud"
But one scornful look from Casey
: And the audience was awed;
They saw his face grow stern and cold,
They saw his muscles strain.
And they knew that Casey
Wouldn't let the ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lips,
His teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel vengeance
His bat upon the plate:
Ara now the pitcher holds the ball,
And now he lets 1t go.
Aud now the air is shattered
By the force of Casey's blow.
Oh. somewhere in this favored land
The sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere
And somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing
Nnd somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudvile-
