AWFUL DEATH STRUGGLE.
Miss May Henneger. Of Bishop. NJ. Bra-
tally Slain while Accompanying Fred
Btubble 70 Ncighborhood Social.

Peoria, ILL.,. Nov. 17.-May Henneger.
a prominent young lady Of Bishop, was
found murdered in a pasture near her
home. Her body was horribly mutt
lated and half buried.
Miss Henneger accompanied Fred
Strubble, neighbours son, to supper
and social given at the county school
house, q short distance from the girls
home, Saturday evening. When she
failed to return her parents were great
ly alarmed. but as neither she nor
Strubble could be found 1t was supposed
that they had eloped and would be
heard from in few days. The discov-
cry of the girls remains thus aroused
the community, but all efforts of the
authorities to locate Strubble's where
abouts have proven unavailing. The
condition of the body indicated a des-
perate struggle. The girl was the
daughter of Newton Henneger, q prom
inent farmer.

ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIC ACID.

Il Is reported that In many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap"
or low-priced baking powders. either
directly or by an order upon grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and 1t is claimed that tho article is q
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits OF pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
in some sections Of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain
ing alum in the District Of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. s. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor Of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: Bread made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice, and must, therefore, act
as a poison"
1t is we'll known that these so-called
Cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One Of
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be one-qusrter
sharp pointed grains Of ground flint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts Of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get q
reputable well-known cream of tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.

A PROTEST TO THE WORLD.

ment Was Susplciously Hasty In Recog-
Milling the New Panama Republic.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Colombian
authorities have cabled to London a
lengthy protest against the United
States action towards Panama in
which they claim that the main re-
sponslbility for the secession Of Pana-
ma lies with the United States govern
ment, first by fomenting the separatist
spirit. of which there seems to be clear
evidence; secondly, by hastily acknowl-
edging the independence of the revolted
province, and finally, by preventing the
Colombian government from using
proper means to repress the rebellion"
The cable message goes or to say
that President Marroquin has energet-
ically protested to the United States,
and wishes that his protest should be
known throughout the civilized world.

SANTA FE ACCUSES.
Charges Union Pacific With
Granting Grain Rebates.

Chicago, June 26.-The practice of the
interstate commerce commission Of in
vestigating charges against railroads
where the inquiry is based on secret in
formation furnished by business COM
petitors, was criticised today by j. c.
Stubs, traffic director for the Harri-
man system.
MI Stubbs appeared before the com
mission to defend the Union Pacific
company on charge that the corpora
ton has been allowing F. H. Peavey x
Co. grain dealers at Omaha and Kan
sas City. rebates in the form OF elevator
service. The information against the
Union Pacific railroad is said to have
been furnished the interstate commerce
commission by a high official of the
AtchisOn. Topeka & Santa Fe railway,
who declares he cannot compete unless
permitted to grant similar rebates to
grain shippers
General Counsel Baldwin of the Union
Pacific asked to see the complaint filed
against the company and Chairman
Knapp explained that no formal COM
plant had been fled He said the COM
mission was acting upon information
obtained secretly.
THE commission is making this in
vestigation for its own information,
said Chairman Knapp. We are fire.
quently compelled to pursue this course
where the person supplying us with the
information has insufficient evidence to
warrant the ming OF formal charges
We do not know that this company has
violated the law. but we feel it our duty
to inquire into the matter in the interest
Of public policy. If the practice Of your
company is legal then other roads may
desire to do the same thing"
J. c. Stubs then said:
Are we not be given an oppor-
tunity to face accusers? If we ere
charged with a4-ything we want to see
the complaint and present our defense
in the regular manner. It is possible
for an officer of competing road even
the Atchison. Topeka & Santa F'e, to go
to Washington. take the commission
into closet, make charges against this
road and then have this commission or
der an investigation and place the bur-
den of proving our innocence upon US.
I protest against the method of doing
business. we have all the information
you desire and are prepared to give it.
but we would prefer to have our accuser
come out and fight in the open"
Chairman Knapp replied that in the
absence of written charges, the commits
sion would appear as complainant He
then ordered the inquiry to proceed and
j. A. Monroe freight traffic manager
of the Union Pacific railroad. was called
the first witness The inquiry wiz
be resumed tomorrow.

A gruesome find has been unearthed
by the flood in the pasture of the old
j. b. Evans place not far from the resi-
dence Of O. T. Whitney on Buchanan
street. At that place there seems to
have been at one time q burial place,
though no modern inhab itant has any
knowledge of such a burial place. A
half a dozen or more skeletons have
been washed out and there are indica-
lions of others. Some of these are of
children and some of persons of mature
age The forearm of one is several in
ches longer than that of any average
man and indicates the member of
person of large stature. The skeletons
are those of men, women and children.
These bones were uncovered near the
lake that now covers a part of the west
ern portion of North Topeka, and much
of the country west Of it. A portion Of
this ground was formerly an extensive
CLAW deposit and was the site of the
large brick yard worked and owned by
j. S. Morse. This prehistoric cemetery,
if such it is was along the eastern part
of the trench that runs down from
Shorev to near Gordon street and which
was partly submerged. 1t was the
southern side of this trench that sent
rapid current down Gordon street, al
though later on the waters found their
way to Soldier creek farther to the
north. where now seems to be the nat
uraI outlet of the lake but which the
city insists must be damned up.
