Emporia's View.

The Emporia MESSENGER says: The as
Draga of Servia by the soldiers of the
Kingdom serves to show that the Wanted
civilization Of the world is In great
nessimist with another illustration that
the world is not getting better. The mas
acre of the Jews in Siberia and this as
assination would seem to indicate that the
and that universal peace and brotherhood
is not among the present possibilities.

PltifuI Sight.

The Potomac Progress moralizes thus:
One oflthe most pitifnl sights, though
young man or woman who has been
taught to be ashamed to perform any
kind Of useful or needful labor. There Is
dren to become worthless and criminal
than to teach them that any honest
labor can possibly affect their social
standing. Such teaching is against the
laws Of God and the experience of every
man who has risen from mediocrity to
affluence and fame. No one who fails
to perform some service or make some
exertion to add to the betterment of the
community in which he lives has. nor
should have. the respect of his neighbors.

TRACED TO CHICAGO.
New York's Latest Internal Machine
Made in Windy City.

Chicago. May .14.-Advices received
here from the police in New York say
that it is thought that the Internal ma
chine which was taken to the Cunard
docks to be placed on board the steamer
Umbria was made in Chicago by Il man
named G. Russell, living at 247 Wash
ington boulevard.
The house at that number is kept by
a Mrs Ethan. She said. "Wednesday
night, that a man apparently about 80
years old who gave his name as G
Russell. had lived in her house, for
three weeks, prior to April %. on which
date he left, saying that he intended to
go East.
The woman said that during his stay
in her house he was engaged in some
mysterious work and kept his door al
ways locked. She knew nothing of what
he was doing. She knew that it had
something to do with clocks and that he
was always arranging some machinery
that had a number of wheels in it.
Mrs. Ethan said. Wednesday night
that she knew nothing more of the man
than what she had learned while he
boarded with her. She did not know
where he came from nor where he went
except that he said, when he left, that
he was going East.

of decade. The largest individual dealer
in spot cotton i'll this market received
a message from Liverpool reading as fol-
lows: THE market will only stop ad-
vancing when cotton gives out 1t is get
ting very scarce now"
The market started with a rush with this
news from Liverpool. orders coming
mainly from commission houses. One
firm had traded in $4,000 bales before mid
day.
The total amount of cotton which is now
here available for delivery on May con-
tracts is $3.50 bales, which has mar
-ket value at the current price of about S3S
per bale, or equivalent to a total valuation
of over S., 100000. This total stock of
about $4,000 bales shows an increase of
over 5000 bales from Tuesday, and 10000
bales since last Saturday, and compares
with $1,000 bales ON April Is The total
amount of cotton now here of all kinds
by running count is 10000 bales, against
IS, 600 on April 10.
More cotton is being brought here by
those who had sold the May option short
either as hedges against transactions in
spot cotton or on difference between this
market and Liverpool and who have in
tended to make good their contracts to the
bull clique rather than go into the pit and

back. Some Of those who were short even

"HAVE A CLUE"
New York Internal Machine
Credited to Chicago.
Several Men Found Who Think They
Helped in Its Construction.
And Eventually the Whole Thing Will
Be "Exploded."

Chicago, May 1.-THE Chicago po-
lice, this afternoon, discovered three
men, who, it is believed, unsuspecting-
ly assisted the mysterious &c. RUSSELL
in manufacturing his deadly device.
The men are j. w. Seymour, carpenter,
]. w. Elsenberg, blacksmith, and John
Clarke, machinist, whose shops are in
the vicinity of the apartment occupied
by Russell in Washington boulevard.
During the week Russell roomed
across the street." said Seymour, to-
night, Il planed down four strips of
wood about 20 inches long for a man
answering his description, who said he
had a patent of some kind. l believe
he said 1t was gambling device"
Sometime ago." said Clarke. "a man
came to my shop and asked for as
sistance in making gambling machine.
He said 1t was something new in the
way of gambling device. We made
him a cone, with an inch base and a
disk to fit it. The man answered the
description of the mysterious stranger
known as 'G. Russell "
Inspector McCluskey and Detective
Sergeants Carey and Funston of New
York. arrived at Chicago, today. and
spent most of the afternoon following
the trunk check clue. Inspector Nc
Cluskey returned to New York, tonight
but left his two detectives here to as
sist the local police on the case. Be-
fore leaving for the East the inspector
said:
Il believe the machine was made in
Chicago and that the conspiracy, If
any existed, was Matched here. We
have the entire detective force at New
York at work on the case and we are
looking for startling developments
soon"
Lieut. Rohan of the Chicago detec-
tive bureau. who has charge of the case,
said, tonight:
Il believe that without any doubt
this man Russell, who lived at the
home of Mrs. Ehlen, is the man who
made the bomb and who consigned it
to the Umbria. We have discovered al
ready how, when and where the infer
nal machine was made
Lieut.. Rohan. tonight, would not say
whether he believed that the mysterious
&c Russell or "Rosseau' is in Chi
cago, but the fact that the lieutenant
kept his men on the run is taken as an
the dynamiter is in the city.
The trunk, which is believed to have
carried the internal machine and which
was shipped from this city, April %, is
now thought to have been purchased of
the American Storage & Van Co, 246
West Madison street. On April Y, a
man answering the description of the
New York suspect ordered the trunk
delivered at the Washington boulevard
address from which place it has been
traced through the transfer company
to New York.
The descriptionjgiven by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ethan of their mysterious roomer also
TALES with that of G. Russea. When
he appeared at the Ethan house, April
10. and engaged board for week he is
said to have carried small grip. With
in two or three days tools and pieces of
mechanism began to arrive. His ex-
PLANTATION to Mrs. Ethan was that he
was an inventor and that his contri-
vance was new gambling device.
