Hurt at Stock Yards.

Chicago, July 15.-Rioting commenced
in the stock yards last night and ons
man, Alfonze Andrulis, was shot in the
left shoulder by the police He is not
fatally injured. The incidents leading
up to the shooting of Andrulis COM
menced when a party of strikers met q
detachment of police under the COM
mand of Lieutenant Moore, in Paulina
street near Forty-fifth street. One OF
the crowd hurled a stone at the Off
GERS and was at once placed under ar
rest. The police started toward the
station with their prisoner, when his
companions attacked them with stones.
Several volleys of stones had been
thrown when the police drew their re-
volvers and fired several shots at the
crowd. Andrulis fell with a bullet
through his shoulder, and his compan-
ions fled.
Andrulis and the man first arrested
were taken by the police to the station
which in a few minutes was surrounded
by a crowd of several hundred men,
women and boys. The temper of the
crowd was ugly, and for a time it
looked as though they would attempt to
storm the station. Calls were for rein
forcementS, and in a short time several
patrol wagons filed with officers from
other stations came upon the scene.
The crowd refused to give way and the
officers were compelled to fight their
way way through to the station door.
A line of officers was at once drawn
up in front of the station and after a
Another fight occurred at Marshfeld
avenue and Forty-fifth street where a
mob attacked squad of policemen
with bricks. Several officers were
slightly injured and they were COMPEL
ed to dispense the crowd with their
clubs. Several other fights took place
during the evening along Marshf1eid
avenue, but nobody was seriously hurt
Lieut.. Prim of the stockyards sta
ton was badly injured by large dog
when he was attempting to arrest a RI
otter who had fed to the saloon of Tony
f. Ezrskes at 4331 Hermitage avenue.
When the officer stepped inside the sa-
loon the proprietor urged large dog
to attack him. The man struck at the
dog with his club but missed it and the
animal lacerated his leg severely. The
proprietor and several other men in
the place were taken into custody.
The following officers were injured
during the fighting in the yards:
Detective Readen, jaw fractured by
brick.
Sergeant Bochne, chin deeply cut by
a stone.
Policeman John Flynn, tendons of
left foot cut by a stone.
The following members of the mob

DOCTORS FIX 1T UP.
Arrange to Have Kansas License Good
in Other States.

The state medical board has COM
pleted arrangements for reciprocal
relations with n number of other
states in the matter of admitting
physicians to practice medicine. The
states with which such relations have
been arranged are Ohio, Michigan
Illinois. Indiana Nebraska, California
Texas. Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory.
The requirements for practicing
medicine in these states are about the
same as those in force in Kansas -
said DR.. o. F. Lewis. secretary of the
state medical board. 1--WE have there
fore arranged with the boards of those
states to honor certificates granted by
them for the practice of medicine
without further examination
This arrangement will allow a
physician practicing in any of the
states named to come into Kansas and
secure a certificate from the Kansas
board without having to take an ex-
animation, while a Kansas physician
holding a certificate from the Kansas
board. can do the same thing in any
of the states named. The object of the
medical law is to raise the standard of
the medical profession and keep in
competent persons from practicing
medicine and imposing upon people.

DECREE FOR NORDlCA.
New York Supreme Court Rejects
Charge of Fraud and Collision.

New York, July 15.-Lillian Nordica' &
final decree of divorce from Zoltan
Doeme probably will be awarded at
once, the appellate division of the SUI
preme court having today declared the
1nterlocutory decree valid. The decis-
ion was given in denying a motion on
behalf OF Doeme for the appointment
of a referee to take evidence in a suit
to determine whether the interlocutory
decree was obtained by fraud and col
fusion. Judge Mclaughlin wrote the
opinion of the court, which was unan-
tmous, that the allegations of fraud
and collision could not be sustained
even by inference.
In February of this year, Nine. Nor
dfca was granted the interlocutory de-
cree by 1dge Bischoff. The hearings
were conducted with the utmost secrecy
before referee, and it is alleged that
testimony of a. most sensational char
acter was produced. The decree was
not to become final before the expira-
ton of three months. 1t made no pro-
vision for the payment of alimony. All
the papers in the case were sealed.
The prima donna's troubles with Herr
Doeme, who is a tenor, a member of an
aristocratic Hungarian family, and to
whom she was married in May, 1896,
in Indianapolis, first became known last
October, when she started on a concert
tour of the United States and Canada
When Herr Doerne arrived in this
country in December papers in the suit
were served upon him. 1t was said
that a famous singer in Paris was the
cause of the trouble. Herr Doeme be-
came so unnerved over the notoriety
that he sought treatment in sanitar-
ium.
In April, two months after the decree
was granted, Herr Doeme, charging
collusion and fraud, applied to Judge
Davis to set aside the decree. Among
other things he alleged that he signed
an agreement that his former counsel,
Edward Lauterbach, should receive a
fee of S., 900 to be paid through the
counsel for Nine. Nordica for appear
ing in behalf of Doeme. Mr.. Lauter-
bach denied that he had ever received
more than $500 from the Hungarian.

PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
Bryan Says Imperialism Is Made So
by ST. Louis Platform.

Lincoln, Neb.. July 15.-W. ].
Bryan has made public the following
statement relating to the Democratic
platform adopted at st. Louis:
The plank on imperialism is posi-
tive, strong and satisfactory to the
entire party and this question becomes
the paramount issue of the campaign.
The tariff plank is good, but it was
made so on a close vote in the com
mittee and largely against the opinion
or Mr.. Parkers adherents. The plank
which was voted down favored "A
wise, conservative and business revi-
sion, made with due regard to exist
ing conditions The committee
thought these qualifying words emas-
culated the plank and left it so weak
as to give no hope to tariff reformers.
The antitrust plank is a good one.
1t demands the enforcement of the
criminal clause of the criminal law
against the trusts; it demands the
abolition of rebates and discrimina-
tons. and 1t demands the withdrawal
of the interstate commerce privileges
from trusts when once convicted.
The plank is Infinitely superior to
the Republican plank and with a
president who desires to destroy the
trusts. would be a sufficient plank, but
If this trust plank was also substituted
by the full committee, there is reason
70 fear II may not be in keeping with
the ideas of the candidate.
The labor plank is all that could
be desired 1t declares against gov
eminent by injunction, it favors arbi-
tration and the eight hour day and
denounces the meth DDS that have been
resorted to in the Colorado strike, but
as these Dlanks were added in the full
committee some uncertainty exists as
TO the candidates. position.
THE platform declares in favor of
the reduction of the army Upon this
the committee was unanimous. The
subcommittee reported a plank in IA
vor of an increase of the navy, but
this was stricken out in the full COM
mittee.
THE platform has plank in favor
OF the enlargement of the scope of the
interstate commerce commission and
in favor of irrigation. The general
clauses of the platform excite no dis
pute, and the appeal against the in !
PRODUCTION of a race issue ought to
have weight with the sober, thinking
Americans.
ION the whole. the platform is
good From a western standpoint its
greatest defect is that il makes no
mention of the money question. An
attempt was made to secure a plank
opposing the melting of the silver dol !
lars. opposing the asset currency and
branch banks and expressing a prefer |
ence for the United States note, known
as the greenback, over the bank note, |
but having refused to put in a gold
plank, the committee was not willing
to have any phase of the money Ques-
ton alluded to. While the motion to /
reafirm the Kansas City platform was
voted down. there was a considerable /
vote in favor of its reaffirmation and I
the western members of the commit |
tee together with a few of the south /
stood together and secured enough 4
changes in the platform to make it a |
presentable document and worthy of |
the support of the party.
