. TRAGEDY OF THE FLOOD.
One and Two Lives Lost
Following the Carrying Away
OF Il HOuseb6at.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 23.-The ice
in White river has carried off a house
boat occupied by John Schowe and
wife, which had been anchored on the
overlooked lowlands. The boat was
battered to pieces and Mrs. Schowe was
drowned. Her body vas carried down
White river by the ice.
John Schowe, the husband, was
thrown into the water when he house
boat eel to pieces and caught hold
of bushes OF a submerged island in the
middle of the river opposite the lower
part of the city. His cries for help
were heard and an effort was made to
rescue him. Rolla Morrison started
for him through the ice with 4 boat.
After an hour he reached him, but
Schowe was craZed by the cold. and
fought him off. Morrison finally over
powered him, tied him in the boat with
ropes and started for shore. The
crushing ice and struggles of the man
threw Morrison out and the boat went
on down the river with Schowe tied to
the bottom. Morrison caught some
bushes and was later rescued. Police
followed the boat with Schowe N it
as far as haywood, four miles below
the city, where a bayou prevented
further pursuit.

PANAMA MINISTER TO RETURN
Fact That the American Minister
at Colon Is Coming Home.

Washington, Jan. DENOMINATION
is had at the state department of the
report that Mr.. Buchanan, American
minister to Panama, is about to return
to the United States, starting in a
few days from Colon. Important pri-
vate business is assigned as a reason
for the minister's return. The de-
partment is not informed that his
visit is anything more nan a leave
of absence, but it knows that Buchan-
an consented to assume the Panama
mission only upon an understanding
that his appointment must be tenn
porary, and as affairs on the isthmus
are regarded as being in excellent
shape from al administrative stand
point, it is possible he will consider
that he has carried out his full under
taking when he returns to Washington.

FOUL CRIME AT BEDFORD, IND.
Miss Sarah Schaefer, a School Teach
err, Assaulted and Murdered.
Is Much Excitement Over the
r and PerpetratOr Will
BE Lynched If Caught.

Bedford, Ind, Jan. 23.-The body of
in the Bedford high school, was found
in a carriage house Friday. She had
been assaulted and robbed, and the
body was badly mutilated. The ap-
pearances of the shed indicated a terri
BILE struggle with her assailant. Miss
Schaefer came here from Elkhart. Ind.
1t has developed that a whisp of u
tache was found in the clutches of
the victim, and upon this clew the
police and a number of private detec-
tives are basing their investigation.
Miss Schaefer's umbrella was found
open in a barn lot near the shed. A
prick, with which the wounds were
inflicted, has also been found, COW
cred with blood.
A negro was said to have been seer
lei the alley where the assault was
committed about the time that Miss
Schaefer left her boarding house.
B~loodhounds were given the scent.
but could follow it not more than
fifty yards from the place where the
body was found. A whisky bottle
coming from a saloon in the city was
found about fifty feet from the shed.
Evidence that Miss Schaefer, the
murdered girl received two anonymous
letters threatening her with punish
ment if she did not change her board
ing place from the home of DR.. d. d.
Nicholson has been disclosed. Miss
Schaefer subsequently changed her
residence for fear that the threat
might be carried out. Those familiar
with the letters have been charged
to make no statement.
Deputy Prosecutor Stephenson said
Friday night:
IF a man is arrested only on sus-
picion and two people know it he will
be %lynched."
A dragnet is to be instituted
throughout the surrounding country,
and all suspicious characters will be
compelled to prove their whereabouts
on the night of the murder.

CHEAP RADIUM IN SIGHT
The Precious Stuff Can Be Produced
From American Ores.
Carnotite, Found In Abundance In
Utah, the Bnse From Which
the supply VIII Come.

New York, Jan. 23.-Announcement
recently made at a meeting of the
Technology club, that radium had been
extracted from American ores, has
brought from Prof. Alexander III. Pal
lips, of Princeton university, who con-
Quoted the experiments, the statement
that this latest discovery by scientists
Will soon be SO plentifully produced in
the United States as to be within easy
reach of all branches of science. The
ore used in the experiments came from
Utah.
THE specimen was between. 25 and
90 pounds in weight" said Prof. Phil
lips. 1T was not the pitchblende used
by the Cures in the manufacture of the
French radium. 1t was carnotite, an
ore OF canary color, containing, as
found after experimenting with it,
oxide of uranium and vandium COM
bined with other oxides that produce
radium.
In SO extracting the radium | used
the Curie method, which | took from
their paper, and | claim no credit.
las a result of this first extraction
of American radium, arrangements
have been made by certain persons in
Buffalo, who own several mines of
carnotite, to manufacture radioactive
agents on a large scale, and. in my
opinion, it will soon be so plentiful that
it will easily be within the reach of
all branches of science. The increased
production will naturally decrease its
cost, and there need be no fear of ex-
hausting the American source of sup
pay, for | am informed 1t is practically
limitless.
There is not the slightest doubt but
American radium can be made as
strong as the Curie product, and equal
ly available for all scientific

Utica, N. Y, Jan. 22.-Towering
snowdrifts along the Rome. Watertown
& Ogdensburg railroad in the vicinity
of Tacoma, near Richland, have blocked
the way of IL trains. Four of these
are passenger trains, and something
like $50 passengers were prisoners for
a stretch of IL miles. The storm con
ditions in northern New York are re-
ported the worst experienced in %
years. These trains have been stalled
since early Thursday morning, and the
progress of clearing the road is made
slow by the increasing snowfall and
high winds. All attempts to operate
the road are futile, and the railroad
company has been forced to devote all
its energy to reaching the passengers.
The weather in this section has
ranged from "a degrees below at Cam
den to 81 degrees below at Meeker Hill,

icies on the life of James l.. Blair car

amount were signed and in the hands
of the st. Louis agency, to be handed
over to the benefciaries as soon as the
proofs of death were submitted. He
added hat the policies were incontesti-
BILE from date of issue. and that moth
ing would be exacted of the beneficial
ries except the usual proof that the in
Sured was dead.
Over half a million of the insurance
had been reinsured in European com
panies, so that the net loss of the New
York life would be about $780, 00.
