FEMALE ENocH ARDEN.-A Aoman
in the role of Enoch Arden returned to
Rockford ILL.,, yesterday after an absence
of 81 years, The chief figure in this
story is Mrs. Louise Olsen. Twenty-one
years ago Mrs. Olsen was injured in a
railroad wreck near Buffalo, n. Y.
She was taken to hospital, but re-
covered. Her mind was not quite clear,
however, and she wandered to France.
Another victim of the wreck died in the
hospital, and by mistake was buried as
Mrs. Olsen. When Mrs. Olsen returned
TO Rockford yesterday she found two
babies she had left, Hilda and Frank,
full grown and surprised beyond meas
ure at her return. Alexander Olsen,
her husband, she found living with his
third wife, the second Mrs. Olsen, whom
he married while believing fully in his
first wife's death, having died some
years ago. Mr. Olsen fully identified
the returned one as his first wife. The
latter will recognize the rights of the
third wife and will live with her re-
covered children.

FLAYED ALIvE.-An authoritative
report reached Bluefeld, w. Va, Thurs
day night of one of the most horrible
crimes in the history of that section.
The first of the week a girl about four
teen years of age was missing from her
home at Devon, and several searches
were made, but all proved futile until
early Thursday, when the young girl
was found in the woods. three miles
from her home, tied securely with ropes
to tree. When found the girl told har-
rowing tales of how a negro had dragged
her there through the woods and had
horribly mistreated her by force. The
girl had been left in the woods for sew
eral days, and each day she claimed the
negro would return, bringing with him
food which he forced her to eat, and
would use forcible means TO accomplish his
purpose. When the searchers heard of
the sad tale Of the young girl they were
greatly enraged and left the girl tied,
and, going few yards away, concealed
themselves to await the next visit of the
negro. The negro soon came and was
again in the act of accomplishing bis.
purpose, when the pOssein hiding rushef
upon him, and after a short race caught
the negro, though he fought desperately.
but the enraged posse soon became too
much for him. 1t is claimed that the
negro was literally skinned from head
to foot.

Battle Between Japanese and Mex
leans.

Los Angeles, Gala, July 11.-One
hundred red and fifty japanese and the
same number of Mexicans employed as
rail layers by the Santa Fe, have been
engaged in a bloody battle for five
days on the desert between Victorville
and Badstow, according to despatch
received here. Four men have been
killed and between forty and fifty
wounded and the fight continues. The
trouble was started by an insulting re-
mark made by a japanese about a
Mexican. Blows quickly followed and
then each side resorted to the use of tools
and boulders. The japanese were
driven across the river where they en-
trenched themselves. The Mexicans
stormed the earthworks Friday and two
men were killed. State troops may
have to be called out to quell the trouble.

Eiendiah Crime.

Bloomington, ILL.,, July 1l.-Blood-
hounds were placed on the trail last
night of a fend in human form who
committed one of the most awful crimes
in the history of Bloomington. Mabel,
the two year old daughter Of Andrew
Jordan, residing in the southwestern
part of the city was the victim Thursday
night. the creature assaulting the child
and then butchering her. The hor-
riby mangled body was found late yes
terday afternoon hidden under soue
bushes in a pasture mile from the
home where the parents reside. Thurs
day evening the father and mother left
home to attend a theatre, leaving the
child in the care of two elder daughters,
mere children. The girls remained at
the home of neighbor until the baby
grew sleepy, when they took it home
and placed it in its crib and then re-
turned to the neighbors. Going home
an hour later, the child was missing.
The alarm was at once spread and
police and neighbors searched all night,
believing the child had been kidnapped.
The assailant checked the child to death,
the little head being almost twisted from
the body. The arms and legs were torn
asunder and the body was a mass of cuts
and bruises. A theory is that dement,
ed person, possibly the same who MUIR
dered the child newsboy of Rockford,
and possessing a mania for infanticide,
might have visited the city and been
guilty of a second deed. Vengeance is
limited in case the right person is cap
tured

THAT GAMBLING is running rampant
in the world now is shown by dispatches
from Rome which state that the Italians
are betting heavily on the Pope's sue
cessor even though Leo is still living.
The bookmakers, it is stated, are doing
a big business and the odds they offer are
all the way from So to $50 on the various
cardinals. The dying pOntiff has reached
an age long beyond the allotted span,
being in his ninety-fourth year, and
it would seem that common decency
would prevent speculation as to his sue
cessor at least until after the death OF
the aged Pope.

The approaching marriage OF jacob
Luebke and Kate Eichholz will, 1t Is
thought cause the deposition OF the pros
pectiye bridegroom's father as rabbi OF
the Temple Shaari Zedek in Brooklyn
Miss Eichholz is Gentle, and it seems
her fate was reached by accidentally
meeting young Luebke on street car,
scraping an acquaintance and contract
ing A case of love at first sight.
The rabbits son was soon suffering from
the same passion and both found them
selves i'm an incurable state after one or
two interviews. The rabbits flock be-
came greatly incensed when they learned
of the affair and Mr.. Luebke was
told that if he allowed the marriage to
take place they would depose him. The
latter undertook to throw obstacles IN
the way, but soon realizing that the dis
ease was as deeply rooted as was ever
that of Cupid and Psyche, Orpheus and
Eurydice, Romeo and Juliet or any
other real or mythical characters OF old,
and finally concluded to bestow blessings
instead Of anathemas upon the young
couple. The outcome of his determi-
nation is awaited with interest by the
many thousands of Israelites in Brook
lyn. The action of the rabbi is to be
commended. If oneof the great-grand-
fathers of King David could afford to
marry a Moabitish damsel during the
days of the theocracy there is no reason
why rabbits son in this day should not
be allowed to wed a worthy young
woman of Gentle extraction.

To TEST EFFECTS OF TOBACCo.-Fol-
lowing the line of his recent investigation
into the effectsfollowing the constant con-
sumption of foods containing preserya-
tives, DIR. Harvey W. Wiley, Chief of
the Bureau of Chemistry of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, will soon take up
the question of how the use of tobacco
affects the digestion and human consti-
tuition in general. DR.. Wiley will pro-
coed as he has done in the case of the
foods; that is, he will take pure tobacco
in various forms, smoking and chewing,
and see what effect its use has upon the
consumer when taken in various quanti-
ties. He will then take.up the adulter-
ated tobacco, or the favored tobacco, and
ascertain by experiments what effect it
has upon the system. Just how far these
experiments will 60 has not yet been de-
finitely determined, nor has DR.. Wiley
decided whether he will use Turkish,
Cuban and other brands of foreign to-
bacco, or whether he will ,confine him
self to the domestic product. 1t is the
doctors intention to take men who are
regular smokers and learn their physi-
cal condition as to their heart action, res
piration, digestion, ETC., while continn-
ing the use of tobacco under normal con-
ditions, and then to have these men sud-
denly cease the use of tobacco entirely.
After the effects of the prolonged use
of tobacco have been eradicated from the
system it is proposed that the subjects
shall recommence the use of the weed,
beginning in small quantities andincreas-
ing until they are using as they were when
the experiments began. DR.. Wiley will
also make observation on the effects of
tobacco on the respective dispositions of
his subjects, its sedative influences and
its use as a promoter of gOOd-fellowshiP.
