A blister is the vesicle, or bladder,
which is formed by an efrusion Of
serum-the watery portion of the blood
underneath the scarf, or outer skin.
Any such powerful irritant as boiling
water may produce blisters, and we
may regard their formation as an ef-
fort Of nature to protect the true and
acutely sensitive inner skin from at
tack.
The fact speaks for itself, but the
reason for this injurious action Of
scalding water has a much deeper seat.
Our blood vessels are supplied with
nerves, and the stimulation Of these
causes in some cases dilatation and In
others contraction. Any excessive stim-
illus will cause paralysis of the muscu-
lar coat Of the vessels and consequent
stagnation Of the blood in these parts,
and then their nutrition is impaired.
1t is owing to the condition thus in
duced by scalding water that the Sc
rum oozes through the vessel wall and
makes its way into the surrounding
tissue. This raises the upper and. in
sensible skin into a blister, which prob
ably takes its name from the Anglo
Saxon blRstan. to blast or nun,

THREE THUGS ARE CAPTURED
After Two Fights in Which They
Mortally Wound a Policeman.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-A furious battle
between a squad of, detectives and
three bandits was fought on the snow
covered prairie near Miller Station,
Ind, 1t terminated in the escape tenn
porarily Of the frgitives. Two detcc-
tives were wounded and a brakeman
who was defending his train on which
the bandits escaped was killed. The
fugitives - Harvey Van Dine, Peter
Neidermeier and Emil Roeski-were To-
Gated in dlgout, or hunters hut,
about two miles from Miller's Station.
Bandits Begin the Battle.
The bandits, who knew they were.
wanted for alleged completely in the
car-barn robbery and murders at Chi
cago last summer, evidently selected
the spot as fitted for a strong de-
tense. The detectives having tracked
them through the snow were fired upon
as they approached. Two of them fell,
Driscoll with a mortal wound. They
then took shelter behind railroad en-
bankment and replied, the firing be-
coming general. "A train having been
tagged to remove the wounded to Chi
cago, the detectives withdrew to place
the injured men aboard.
Thugs Add Another Murder.
This opportunity was seized upon
by the; fugitives, who ran from the
dugout and boarded a Pennsylvania
freight train at East Tolleston, Ind.
Before reaching the town of Liverpool
they were discovered by the brake
man, l.. j. Soyed. He was shot dead
and the bandits jumped from the train
and ran towards the Michigan tracks.
Reinforcements for the Hunters.
Meanwhile Assistant Chief of Police
Schuettler, of Chicago, with posse
of fifty policemen and detectives,
armed with reyolvers and rifles, had
reached Miller's Station to aid in the
pursuit. The Pennsylvania railroad also
took hand. The roads chief of de-
tectives, accompanied by every availa-
BILE man, was put on special train.
The engine of the first train into the
Union station was unlocked and
coupled to the special, andsthe trip at
high speed for the scene of the pursuit
was begun.

FOUR BURNED TO DEATH



Omaha which wipes Out $500. 900
In Property.
Omaha, Now 27.-Eour men were
burned to death and property loss
amounting to 100000 is the result Of
a fire which broke out in the whole
sale grocery house Of Allen Bros, cor
ner of Ninth and Jones street. In adj
dition to the big fve-story building oc-
cupied by the Allen Bros, that oc-
cupied by the Pacific Storage com-
pany, adjoining, was also consumed,
together with most of its contents.
The names of the four firemen killed
were: LeHoy w. Lester, William Bur-
meister, Lu Goldborough and William
A. Barrett. The fire is presumed to
have originated in the furnace room of
the Allen building. The firemen were
working about thirty feet inside the
Allen Bros building when the floor
above unexpectedly collapsed, catching
the men with no chance of escape and
with no possibility Of their comrades
rescuing them. Their bodies were not
even recovered,
