CONSUMPTION TREATMENT.
Roentgen Rays to Burn BaciIIi From
Diseased Lungs.

Niles, Mich, Aug. 22.-At Big Rap
ids, a young man is submitting him
self to torture in undergoing a ex-
pertinent to test the efficacy of the
Roetgen rays, in the cure of con-
sumption.
The climate of western states, the
skill of specialists and everything
known to science were tried in vain,
whereupon the invalid went to Big
Rapids and placed himself in the
hands of an uncle, a well-kncwn ply
sician, who determined on heoric
measures. The young man bravely
submitted to the ordeal, and for some
time has been treated by the X-ray
process each day.
The time of exposure has been
heightened, till so minutes at one sit.
ting has been reached. The theory
is that if the Roetgen rays will kill
diphtheria germs they will kill con.
sumption bacilli.
For a time the patient suffered in.
tensely. His neck, chest, mouth and
jaws were burned SO severely that
big blisters showed the terrible eff.
fects of the rays. At one time his
mouth was fairly closed and only by
inserting a piece of pipe could liquid
food be administered.
The young man realizes that it Is
life or death and willingly undergoes
the treatment. He 10Y feels that
the germs have been killed by the
rays, and that by and by he will be
restored to health. He is able tc
wait on himself, which in itself is
encouraging, and his physician thinks
there is possibly a new lease Of life
in store for him.

DR.. Won Schwarzenstein, the German

confirming this, added that DR.. Mumm

FEELING AGAINST GERMANY
Inhabitants OF Lorraine Join French
! in Celebration.

EF ~ -| 10 |-"-. r#
Berlin, Aug. 22.--rhe outburst of
French feeling against Germany that
took place at the celebration of the
anniversary of the battle of Mars la
Tour is described by a correspondent
telegraphing from Strassberg. Many
inhabitants of Lorraine crossed the
frontier in order to participate in
the ceremonies. Bishop Turinas of
Nancy, addressing the populace, said:
you came acros the border in
spite of German canno and in spite
of the unhappiness hanging over your
provinces, to show here, on French
soil, your mistaken fidelity to the old
fatherland. Through your presence
you ask the silent but eloquent ques-
tons:
".How long shall we wait for you?
When will you come to liberate us?'"
General Quincy, who followed, said:
Comrades Of 1870: You have come
here in order to sepd fraternal greet
ing across the Moselle and Vosger to
those whose hearts remain French
and say to them that your hope of the
future, which will wipe out the de-
feats of the past, will never die
General Driant and six nationalist
deputies were present.

the fact that the construction of the
Panama canal will necessitate the
transportation of hundreds Of Jcargoes
OF construction material, food sup
plies for workmen, ETC., the Journal
of Commerce says:
Panama and Colon are foreign
ports and there is nothing therefore
to prevent foreign ship owners from
competing at low rates for carrying
material. It is said by a representa-
tive of the canal interests that the
materials required in the construc-
ton of the canal will certainly ex-
coed $4,000, 900, in addition to food
supplies. This material will consist
very largely Of cement, granite, lum-
Der and machinery.
Lumber From Oregon.
The lumber will undoubtedly come
from Oregon and that section of the
country and will not be a matter of
much oncern to ship owners on the
Atlantic ocean, but in the case of &C.
ment, stone and machinery, the items
will be of great Importance and COM

ed that a construction of the coast
wise law could be made, declaring the
six-mile zone on either side of the
canal to be American territory and
this could convert Panama and Colon
into American ports.
e This zone, under the treaty with
Colombia, is merely to the United
States, as Colombia does not relin-
quish her sovereignty and some doubt
is expressed whether the government
may assume the ports of Panama and
Colon without mourning international
complications.
Under the bill as passed by con-
gress, no restriction OF the carrying
trade to United States vessels can be
made and shipoWners claim that they
will net be able to meet the competi-
ton of foreign vessels in this trade,
for the reason that a large number
of fruit vessels are available for the
service, largely Norwegian ships,
which bring fruit north and have vir-
tually no southbound cargoes. The
vessels naturally would be able to
carry southbound cargo at much low
er rates than could American vessels,
which must make their entire ex-
penses on southbound cargo and re-
turn north practically in ballast.

SLAYER of YOUNG GIRL
WHOLE COUNTY IN KENTUCKY
SEARCHING FOR HIM.
Mass Meeting Calls for Offer of Re
Wards and Troops Are Demand
ed to Prevent Lynching.

R%ussellville, KY, Aug. 22.-Zona,
the 15-year-old daughter of C. NJ.
Wick, a prominent farmer CT this coun-
ty, was murdered yesterday in sight
of her farther's house. She had gone
to the spring for water and, on her
failing to return "a search al insti-
tuted. About 4 o'clock the body with
the head crushed was found in a fence
corner, partly covered with leaves.
Posses are out in all directions
through the woods searching for the
criminal, but up to a late hour no
word had been received of his hav-
ing been found. A negro, whom sew
eral suspected of being the guilty
person, was placed in Jail here, but
the mere fact that he was not sum-
marily lynched on the spot, is taken
to prove that the suspicion against
him is of the flimsiest sort.
AS a result of the excitement and
the acknowledgements Of the author
tiles that they are unable to- control
the citizens, who have organized to
lynch the unknown ravisher of Miss
Wick, a request was sent to Frankfort
tonight, calling upon the governor to
send troops here.
A a meeting of representative
citizens was held in the courthouse
here fer the purpose of giving formal
expression to the indignation Of the
community and of devising ways and
means for the capture of the ravisher
So general is the feeling that people
from the farthest ends of the county
were present. There were nearly l.,
900 at the meeting, taxing the court
house to it's fullest capacity.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted asking the county judge tc
offer a reward of $500 for the capture
of the murderer of Miss Wick and an
other resolution was adopted calling
upon the governor to add $500 to- this
amount.

DOUBTFUL IDENTITY WILL BE
THE DEFENSE.
BARTHOuN STILL MISSING
Inquest Begun in Mrs. B%artholin's
case-PoIice Hope for Sub
.stantiai Results.

Chicago. Aug. 21.-The second de-
cisive step toward unraveling the
tangle of mystery about the Bartho-
in-Mitchell murder case was begun
today by the police, when the propos-
ed inquest to determine the cause Of
the death of Mrs. Anne Bartholin and
the responsibility therefor was re
newed.
The police hope for more substan-
tial results from this inquest than
came from the similar proceedings
yesterday in the Minnie Mitchell case.
Doubtful identity will be the burden
of the defense Of Oscar Thompson,
John Claffey and Edward Counsel
man, who were held yesterday to
answer for the supposed Mitchell
crime. AS yet nothing definite has
been heard of the whereabouts Of Will
liam j. Bartholin. Much doubt ex-
lists, however, as to whether Miss
Mitchell is dead.
After an investigation, extending
over a fortnight and a two days cor
.oner's inquest, the authorities are
still in doubt whether the body of
the murdered VIENNA found in the
field at Seventy-fourth and State
streets was really that of Minnie
Mitchell.
Patrolman Wilson. who found the
body, could not tell its sex because
Of it's advanced stage of decomposi-
ton. Coroner's Physician Springer
stated that the body must have lain
ten CT twelve weeks before the brain
could have been absorbed; that had
quicklime been used by the murderer,
as co%njectured, maggots would not
have entered the body as was the
case. Even the coroner's jury stated
only that the body was supposed to
be that of Minnie Mitchell.
Articles of clothing found ear the
dead body, however, were identified
by the Mitchell family. A week ago
the body was buried as Minnie Mitch
ell by relatives of the girl, who has
been missing since July 30.
