John ?. ALToELp DeAp.
Ex-Governor Of Illinois Expires iron Ellssi.
os ApopIeetle Stroke.

Joliet, H., March 1s.-Ex-Governor
John P. Altgeld died at the Hotel Mum
roe yesterday morning at Z 100 o'clock.
The physicians remained with him
throughout the night. When the end
was nearing they worked his arms Wig
orousIy to revive respiration, but al to
no purpose. The cause Of death 10
given as cerebral hemorhages, there
having been no apopIectic seizure Of the
brain. The yomitingas first was taken
TO indicate ptomaine poisoning, but Il
was determined this was due TO difler-
lent d tIae brain trouble.
Mr.. Altged came to Joliet, having
been advertised as the special orator
for the big viii county pro-Boer meet
ing. He confessed that he was not in
the best Of health. having been troubled
with some apparently simple stomach
trouble. He was not willing to allow
that to interfere with his speech, how
ever, his great interest in the South
African struggle having been heightened
by the announcement Of the Boer sue
cess in the captureof General Methnen.
1t was noticed during the address
that the ex-governor threw an unusual
amount Of energy and feeling into his
words, and the collapse, the physicians
think, resulted from overstraining his
already weakened physical powers.
Ever since the failure Of the Globe
Savings Bank in 1896, in which he was
involved, Mr.. Altgeld had not been
well man, and for some months after
the SpaIding crash it was feared that
his death was only question Of short
time. Even when serving his last year
as governor, his health was none too
good.

BATTLE OF Aqua DuLce.
Eight Hundred Men on Both Sides Reported
to Have Been Killed.

Colon, Colombia, March 1.-The
following report was obtained from the
government troops, which arrived here
yesterday from Bocas del Toro:
Upon finding the revolutionary attack
upon Aqua Dulce, February 49,. TO be
irresistible, owing TO the enemy's su-
perior numbers, their artillery and
their supplies OF ammunition, General
Castro tried to retreat to David and
Chiriqui, which towns were known to
be hard pressed by the revolutionists
under Quintero and Perez. This Is a
long and tiresome march Of over 200
miles. Shortly after leaving Horcon-
itos small body Of government troops
was met. These men reported that
Colonel Luque had been killed in battle
and that the revolntionists were in pos
session Of David. General Castro,
therefore, decided 10 try 10 effect the
difficult march across the mountains to
BOcas de Toro. The march occupied IL
days, during the last FIVE Of which
bananas we're the only obtainable food.
Drinking water was plentiful.
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1902-03-20

General Castro's soldiers report that
500 men were killed on both sides dur
ing the fighting at Aqua Dulce. The
revolutionists lost $50 and the govern
ment forces $50 men. 1t is also said
that the Indian chief, Lorenzo, and his
half-caste Indians participated in the
attacks and killed many of the govern
ment soldiers with machetes. The
rifle fire curing the Aqua Dulce battle
was deadly and persistent. The din
of the rifles was so great that the can
non fire could not be heard. The
slaughter and massacre at this battle
are described as something awful.
The government is confident that the
revolutionists are still unable to take
either Colon or Panama. Reinforce
ments will doubtless arrive here from
the interior.
Colonel Uribe, cousin of General
Tribe Uribe, was killed in the battle Of

Illinois Bank Robhsry.

joliet, HIS, March 15.-Six men
early today broke into the Exchange
Bank in Minooka, nine miles west of
Joliet, wrecked the safe with dynamite
and secured between $4,000 and $S,-
900 in cash. Theodore Krine, who
heard the explosions, rose from sick
bed and went to warn A. K. Napp,
president of the bank. The robbers as
saulted Krine on his return and left
him gagged. He was not found until
nearly two hours after. The robbers
escaped on handcar.

CHINESE EXCLUSION BILLS.
House Committee on Foreign Affairs Votes
Against Sherman Measure.

Washington, March 15.-The house
committee on foreign affairs today
voted against considering the bill of
Representative Sherman, of New York,
continuing the existing Chinese exclu-
sion law, and then voted to proceed by
continuous sessions with the considera-
tion of the Mitchell-Kahn Chinese ex-
clusion measure, having the indorse-
ment Of the Pacific coast senators and
members. The actual work on this
bill by sections began during the after
noon, and is likely to proceed uninter-
ruptedly until results are secured.
The first nine pages, including the
important exclusion sections, were
approved with few verbal changes.
The part approved also covers the pro-
visions preventing Chinese laborers
from going to the Philippines or from
coming from the Philippines to this
country The action of the committee
on the exclusion section was practically
unanimous. The remainder of the bill
yet to be passed upon covers admins
trative details, of that the action in
support of the Mitchell l-Kahn exclusion
measure with amendments clearly res
tricts it to Chinese laborers.

BREAD 800 YEARS OLD.
Loaves that Were Being Baked wher
Pompeii Was Destroyed.

Loaves that Were Being Baked When
Pompeil Was Destroyed.
Sufferers from indigestion are ad-
vlsed to eat stale bread; the staler the
better, they are told. There is in the
museum at Naples some bread which
ought to be stale enough for anybody.
1t was baked one day In August, 70
A. d., In one Of the curious ovens still
TO be seen at PompeIi.
More than eighteen centuries, there
fore, have elapsed since 1t was drawn
.all hot and Indigestlble from the
oven. SO 1t may claim to be the old
est bread In the world. You may see
II In glass case on the upper floor OF
the museum. There are several loaves
OF Ii, one still bearing the impress Of
the bakers name.
In shape and size they resemble the
small cottage loaves Of England, but
not In appearance, for they are as
black as charcoal, which, In fact, they
closely resemble. This was not their
original color, but they have become
carbonized, and II eaten would proba-
bly, remind one of charcoal biscuits.
When new they may have weighed
about a couple OF pounds each, and
were most likely raised with leaven,
as Is most of the bread In oriental
countries at the present time.
The popular idea that Pompeli was
destroyed by lava is fallacious one.
IL lava stream had descended upon
the city the bread and everything else
In the place would have been utterly
destroyed. Pompeli was really buried
under ashes and fine clnders, called by
the Italians lapilli. On that dreadful
day in August, when the great erup-
ton OF Vesuvius took place, showers
of fine ashes fell first upon the doomed
city, then showers of lapilli, then more
ashes and more lapilli, until Pompeii
was covered over to depth in places
Of fifteen and even twenty feet.
Other comestlbles besides the bread
were preserved, and may now be seen
in the same room In the museum. There
are various kinds of grain, fruit, vege-
I
tables and even pieces Of meat. Most
interesting is dish Of walnuts, some
cracked ready for eating, others whole.
Though carbonized, like all the other
eatables, they have preserved their
characteristic wrinkles and lines.
There are figs, too, and pears. the
former rather shrlveled, as one would
expect after all these years, the latter
certainly no longer "Juicy." But per-
haps the most interesting relic in the
room is honeycomb, every cell OF
which can be distinctly made out. II
is so well preserved that 1t is hard to
realize that the comb is no longer wax
nor the honey, honey.
A piece of the comb seems to have
been cut out, and one can imagine
some young Pompeiian having helped
himself to 1t and sitting down to eat
1t, when he had to jump up and fly fol
his life. One cannot help wondering
what became Of. the piece-whether the
young fellow took 1t with him and ate
1t as he ran, or whether he left 1t OF
his plate, intending to return for 1
when the eruption was over.
