Hhstling Chicago is celebrating her
one hundredth birthday. The Chicago
Daily News remarks that, like many
centenarians. Chicago is stin smoking.
This is not the proper view to take of
1t. 1t should be reversed. Chicago is
a young city and precocious far beyond
her years. She is smoking early in
life. Where there's smoke there's fire,
and no city in the world can show more

old story about the COW kicking the

for Mrs. O'Leary is not shown in so

the memory of Mrs. O'Leary. but her
testimony does not wipe out the guilt
of the COW. On the night of Oct. Q,
1871, Mrs. Callahan. then a girl. was
one of a party in the OLeary neigh
borhood. They wanted to make some
tea. Having. no milk, some of the
boys and girls decided TO go to Mrs.
O'Leary's and milk her cow. An awk-

was Dennis, undertook to do the milk

kicked the lamp over. That started

SON is SUSPECTED
Arrest by Insurance Company
Detectives REEVES Mystery.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Earl Ellsworth,
aged twenty-four years, was arrested
here today as the result of an alleged
confession which detectives obtained
by pretending to be his friends.
Eighteen months ago, at Woodstock,
ILL.,, Benjamin Ellsworth, Earl's father,
finding his wife in company with Amos
Anderson, shot and killed both, and
then, according to Earl Ellsworth, who
gave the police the story, the old man
committed suicide. Earl admitted hav-
ing advised his father to kill the cou-
pie, and at the time was arrested as
an accessory, but was allowed to go,
public sentiment generally being in his
favor.
An insurance company, however, be-
ing liable for $4,000 insurance which
the elder Ellsworth carried, decided to
investigate.
The talk which young Ellsworth had
with the detectives, and which was
overheard by witnesses secreted in an
adjoining room, is said to have cleared
EllSworth'S mother Of the charge of
faithlessness and to have left open to
doubt the statement that the senior
Ellsworth killed himself.
1t is said there was conspiracy to
obtain the insurance money, Earl Ellis
worth and two prominent citizens of
Woodstock being involved, and that
young Ellsworth's alleged conversation
with his supposed friends, who claim
ed to be helping to avoid impending
arrest, leaves open to grave question
the statement that the killing OF An
derson and Mrs. Ellsworth was by the
older Ellsworth.

however, to cause death.
Hughes, after having the bottle
knocked from his hand, rushed to the
sidewalk, where he fell unconscious.
He was picked up by policeman and
hurried to the Central station, where
DE- Moore, police surgeon, attempted
to tEeYiYe him. DR.. Moore soon dis
q critical condition and ordered him
removed to the city hospital.
On the way to the hospital Hughes
partially revived and became violent,
and DR.. Moore had difficulty in holding
him in the ambulance. After being at
the hospital for few minutes Hughes
died at $40.
Had a Love Affair.
The death of Hughes, which ends a
varied career, was marked by a ro-
nance. Three months ago Hughes, at
that time employed at South ST. Paul,
was injured by being thrown down a
flight of stairs in fight on st. Peter
street, and he was taken to the city
hospital suffering from severe scalp
wound and other injuries. He recov-
cred after few weeks, and, instead of
returning to his former position, ac-
cepted employment at the hospital as
orderly.
While Hughes was yet confined to
bed with his injuries pretty girl came
to work at the hospital and she fell in
love with the injured patient. The at
tachment between the girl and Hughes
apparently was the inducement that
kept him at the hospital after he had
recovered his health. But evidently
lately his affection cooled or she lost
her attraction for him. for on his body

Girl Reproaches Him for Neglect.
The girl became i'll last week and was
compelled to give up her work and be-
come a patient at the hospital. She
underwent an operation last Thursday,
and 1T seems that while she was con-
fined to the sick room Hughes paid no
attention to her and neglected even to
send her a message. In the letter
dated Saturday, she complains of be-
ing lonesome and declares that, as he
had promised to see her twice day, he
might at least have sent her a note.
She declares in the missive that she
thinks he must have forgotten her and
reproacheS him for his inconsistency.
Dear Jim,' the letter reads, 1T

soon. You know how loved you, Dear
Jim, you are my only friend. Won't

me Sunday afternoon. -" Don't

Shortly after having received this
tender message, Hughes is said to have
left the hospital. He returned in such
a condition Sunday as a result of drink
that he was discharged. The girl, in
the meantime, waited in vain for

MILL STRIKERS
SEEM TO BE BEATEN
Mills in Operation Before the
Strike VIII Be Running
Today.

While it Is apparent that the mill
strikers are beaten, 1t Is uncertain that
they are aware of it, and they will stand
out a while longer.
The conference of T. L Kidd with the
mill owners had no influence in changing
the situation, but makes it even uncer-
tain that the strikers are to secure the
backing of the American Federation Of
Labor, Of which Mr.. Kidd Is vice presi-
dent.
Yesterday, with Mayor Haynes and A.
E. Remington, who Is acting as president
of the International Union Of Flour and
Cereal employees, Mr.. Kidd called upon A.
c. Loring, of the Northwestern Consoli-
dated company, Henry il. Little of the
Pillsbury-Washburn company, and John
Washburn, of the Wash5urn- Crosby COM
pany.
He asked for a statement of their side
of the case, and If there was not some
middle ground upon which the strikers and
mill owners might meet and adjust their
differences. He Is said to have made no
suggestion of way in which this might
be effected.
The mill representatives assured him in
positive terms that they could not be in
duced to change their attitude and that
while some of the strikers might have
tnelr places back, they must come as in
dividuals.
The results of these conferences were
reported at a meeting of the strikers ex-
