Deep interest Taken in Welfare Of
Blanche Hourihare.

OLJumWa, Jan. y 0U.--NeVer were the
hearts of Ottumwans touched more
by human suffering than a short time
since, when little 12-year-old Blanche
Hourihan, formerly of Oskaloosa, was
run over by the cars while playing on
the Rock Island tracks and lost both
legs. The little suffering child's ap-
peal, Don't take me to the hospital,
the expense will be too great for
mamma to bear, was enough to bring
tears to THE eyes Of all who were
present when the crushed form of the
little one was tenderly placed in the
ambulance and taken to the hospital,
despite her thoughtful entreaties,
Mayor Picker, VINO was present when
the accident was discovered, over
ruled the little ones objections and
assured her that her mother would
be placed at no expense on her &C
count. The citizens of Ottumwa as a
unit have taken a great interest In
the case and have watched the plucky
fght for life which the little one mas
put up against what seemed over
whelming odds. The hospital physi-
clans worked increasingly until the
crisis had passed and it became GER
tain that little Blanche's life would
be saved. Now movement is on
foot to raise funds for the brave lit
tie girl who will soon be released
from the hospital Mayor Picker
has taken leading part in this work
and he is receiving many returns
from the letters he has written for
subscriptions.
Plans for Child's Welfare. ..
Mrs. Hourinan, the little ones
mother, will be made her guardian
and Mayor Picker and Police Judge
E. G.. Moon will act as trustees to
dispose of the funds raised for the
child. Many subscriptions have been
made, among them being an offer Of
5000 from the c., r. I. & P. railway
company.
Recently Tent No IS, X. o. t, NJ.
subscribed $25 to the fund being
raised, and the employees OF the Phil
lips mines have sent a subscription Of
$SS. Petitions are being circulated
in all the manufacturing and whole
sale plants of the city.
A number of letters have been re
ceiyed from parties outside the city
offering to assist in the work of rails

shows the wide interest being takel

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 27.-The skipper
of the Swedish steamer Aldebaran,
from Hull, England, which arrived to-
day at Gefie, Sweden, says his vessel
was chased in the Skaggerack during
the evening of Friday, October 21st, by
foreign cruiser. apparently a Russian,
which threw its searchlight on her.
The cruiser, increasing her speed, pass
ed the Aldebaran and fired shot
which had no effect. The Aldebaran
thereupon hoisted her flag and the
cruiser again threw her searchlight on
the steamer and few minutes later
hailed shot all around the Aldebaran,
without, however. hitting her. The
AIdebaran's skipper then ordered the
steamer to be stopped, and with his
crew sought refuge below. The foreign
warship thereupon disappeared in the
darkness.
