East St. Louis, ILL.,, June 4.-Three
masked men boarded the suburban car
running east from this city, robbed j.
Bowes, the motorman, and killed the
conductor, John n. Keith, who went to
the motorman's rescue. There were
only few passengers in the car. The
robbers signaled the car to stop and

Conductor Keith, being attracted by

to do so.

to that chambermaid as reward for
insulting great educator and a
noble citizen whom God has given a
black skin, but I affirm that they

American life, and that in applaud

CHICAGo's HISTORICAL SPOTS.
Su&Eestion Made That They Be
Marked by Tablets for Proposed
Centennial Anniversary.

Prof. Edwin Erie Sparks, of the
University of Chicago. wants all of
the historic spots in Chicago suita bly,
tableted before the centennial cele-
bration in September. and his sug-
gestion will be considered at the next
meeting Of the executive committee.
In letter to Secretary Macloon
Prof. Sparks says:
las a citizen of Chicago and one
interested in Chicago history I ven
ture to suggest the thought, in con-
nection with the proposed celebra-
ton of the semi-anniversary of the
city, that the most historic places be
marked with sings properly made
for that purpose. Few people know
the outlines of the old fort inclos-
ure or the site of the old lighthouse,
the wigwam, etc. This plan was tried
with the most gratifying success at
the last encampment of the G. A. r.
in the city of Washington.
"The site of the most famous old
tavern in Chicago as we'll as the
building in which Lincoln was NOM
mated. occupying the same ground,
Is without anything to call public
attention and possibly is not known
to thousands who pass it."
Among the historic spots which
Prof. Sparks suggests for tableting
are the following: Site of old block
house, outlines of old fort, site OF
Lake house, former mouth of river,
republican >wigwam, Rookery, out
lines of great fire, St. Mary's Cath
Ole church, Saugenash tavern, Kinzie
residence, first post Office, Green Tree
tavern. Father Kinnison's grave, sa-
loon building, site. of river and har-
Dor convention, Robinson house site,
Galena Union and Chicago railroad
station, Ogden house site in path of
great fire (but unburned), site of first
public school. outlines of Camp Doug
las, outlines of confederate camp, ex-
position building site. :. =.@
When this matter is being taken
under consideration Prof. Sparks will
be invited to speak before the execu-
tive committee of the centennial cele-
sbration. Chairman Plamondon said:
"The suggestion is a. highly com
mendable one, and it would iii my
opinion be duty of this committee
to arrange to tablet these spots in
such a manner that the work will
be permanent . ::

{ ..z. gainesville, Ca, June 4.-The 6.000
1nna oltants of this city have just be-
gun TO realize the extent of the ap-
Palling disaster of Monday. It now
seems certain that the death list will
not be much short of 100, perhaps
somewhat over 100. considering the
number of dangerously wounded
whose chances for recovery cannot
now be calculated. But through all
the gloom and desolation that sur
! round the town like a pail of dark
ness, there radiates a beam of hope
and encouragement-hope t hat the
death list may not be so numerous as
reported, and encouragement to those
who are so bravely and devotedly as
slsting in the work of relief. The
story of the storms work of desolu-
ton has already been told. All that
remains is the compilation of an &C.
curate list of the dead and the chron-
icing and burial of the victims.
Results of the Storm.
Figuring from all available sources
and giving credence only to those re-
ports which are believed to be trust
worthy the following is a summary
of the effects of the tornado in
Gainesville and it's environs: One
hundreds killed; $50 injured, of whom
probably 20 will die: 800 homeless,
their residences having been wiped
out of existence; property loss of
about 100000, none of which was
covered by storm insurance.
The death list so far compiled in
cludes 80 at the Pacolet cotton mills
at New Holland. all of whom were
killed in the demolition of the com
pany's cottages. and Sc at the Gaines
vile cotton mills. near the Southern
Railway station, where the tornado
first struck.
A Mass of Ruins.
The entire pathway of the storm,
extending two miles from the Gaines
Vile mills around the outskirts of the
city to the Pacolet mills at New Hol-
land, is mass of ruin. Business is al
most entirely suspended throughout
the city, the attention of everybody
being given to the care of the wound
ed and suffering. There is no lack of
medical attention, many surgeons be-
ing present from Atlanta and other
cities. There is great need, however,
of clothing, antiseptics and other
Government Rations.
Washington, June 4. - Secretary
Root has directed that an officer be
sent from Fort Mcpherson to Gaines

rations be furnished the storm SUI
