BODY IN CHIMNEY
Finding Of the Frightfully Mutilated
Remains Of Little New York Girl
Believed Child Was Kidnapped and
Then Killed.

New York, May 13.-Wrapped in rags
and frightfully mutilated, the body OF
-year-old Josephine McCahill, who has
been missing since May 2 was found in
a chimney Of her home in Third avenue
last night. The body was, lodged near
the top of the chimney and it was nee
essary to tear away part of the ma
sonry to release it. 1t lis thought that
the body, v'1isa was terribly cut up.
was placed there within day or two.
The McCahill case has attracted
much attention, the belief being that
the child was kidnapped, Rewards ag-
gregating $3.50 were offered by various
persons for her recovery and mass
meetings were held TO consider plans
for conducting the search.
Today letter was received by Mrs.
McCahill the childs mother. which
read:
May 9, 19o4-Dear Friend: AS you
made such fuss, was compelled to
kill Josie. If you give $500 to a boy J
will send, you can have the body. H.
NJ.
"P. S.-Don't mind stories you hear"
The police considered this letter as
the work of some heartless lneddler.
After leaving her home on May to
play In the street, the child was seen in
Third avenue with a man, described as
tall and dark She had a bag Of candy
in her hand but was crying.
That is all the police have had to
work on. Their search has proceeded
on the belief that the man was an Ital-
ian and that the girl would eventually
be found in one Of the Italian colonies
In this or some nearby city.
Strange, Woman.
Twice yesterday before the body was
found, we'll dressed young woman
called at the McCahill home and said
that she had presentiment that the
child would be found An the chimney.
on her second visit she expressed sur
prise that search OF the chimney had
not been made on her previous sugges-
tion. She refused to give her name or
address and the police. are now trying
to find her. 1t was after her SECOND
visit that the investigation of the CHM
ney was made.

A Chinese Secret.

reason that lie knows his dentist will

simply rubs secret powder over the
aching tooth. After about five min

watched and that - eterinarians be-
lieve that the quara.. line will be ef-
fectiye and there win be no spread of
the disease. The exact source of the
malady is not known. Just how many
horses have been afflicted is not made
public. but there has been some exag-
geration as to the number of animals
killed to stop the spread of the dis
ease. This Is the first time Iowa horses
have been thus afflicted, and it is re-
garded as certain that the disease was
imported.
Hon. John f. Dillon, Of New York.
who delivered the address at the ded-
ication of the Davenport public Ii
brary the other day, gave information
regarding his experience as an author
which marks him as the champion
author of Iowa, at least in his profit 3
from one book. His law book on "Mu-
nicipal Corporations" which he wrote
when he was on the supreme bencn
of Iowa, and which involved six years
of labor for part of his time, brought
him $4,000 year the first year of its
publication in royalties, and in Ill
ty years the royalties still continue
and the book has yielded him stit
greater indirect benefits. In the list
of Iowa books at the st. Louis ex-
position, Judge Dillon's volume ought
to be given the place of honor as
the most successful Iowa book ever
written.
One slight error in most readable
article by C. L. Lucas. of Boone coun-
ty, III the current number of the An
nails of Iowa, an error in stating that
two certain criminals were hanged at
West Point, Lee county, where they
were tried, instead OF over in Des
Moines county, where their crime was
committed, has called forth some
criticisms in southeastern Iowa not
entirely in the best spirit. One critic
treats the matter as showing that the
whole is an error, and falls also into
the error of stating that the Annals
are published by the State Historical
Society. The Annals have beconl.,
recognized among historians for the.r
accuracy and aside from securing
good articles there is much done at the
historical department in the way Of
verifying the dates and facts present t.
ed.
It is not yet definitely settled that
the encampments of the national
guard this year will be regimental or
brigade encampments. There is some
strong pressure being brought for
brigade encampments. They will be
cheaper than the regimental encamp
ments and the governor would have to
devote less of time to the reviews.
In view of the fact that the presiden-
tial campaign Is on. this might be 4
wise thing.

HAS TROUBLES AT HOME.
Internal Situation in Russia is Causing
Much Alarm.

Rome, May IA secret report re-
ceived from st. Petersburg depicts the
internal situation in Russia as becom-
ing most serious as regards the preser-
walton of present institutions, the mill
tary failures in the far east having
strengthened the opinion that
the evils are due to the pres
ent organization of the country in
which change is necessary. The be-
lief is expressed that il the emperor
can not be induced to grant the coun-
try constitution. Russia will be
obliged to face revolutionary move
ment at home besides the war in the
far east.

st. Petersburg, May 13.--Mucf un-
certainty exists here as to exactly
what is occurring at the theatre OF
war. as much In regard to Russian
movements as to those of the enemy
kuropatkin's plans are most carefully
guarded. Altho he is believed to b.,
concentrating his troops near Lao
Kang, very little actual information on
the subject is obtainable. The gen.
ersll impression, however. is that heavy
fighting will occur within a fortnight.
Advlces received by the general staff
indicate the japanese are pushing the
campaign In southern Manchuria with
great energy. The rainy season, which
VIII render roads almost impossible,
begins In six weeks and the latest be-
lief here is that the enemy wishes to
make its position secure by decisive
engagement before the rain sets in.
The army organ believes that at
least eight divisions Of the enemy.

advancing along the Littoral from the
Yalu, where 1t is believed another
army has landed, information is very
incomplete.
Three divisions OF General Kuroki's
army separated at Feng Wang Cheng.
According to reports of Russian scouts
10000 infantry with forty guns and
1900 cavalry moved north to Samatzy

either Mulkden or Lao Yang. The
flank of this force is protected by bat
talion infantry. three sauadrons OF

the japanese guards proceeded west

ty guns, mostly mountain pieces NOV

river Tuesday leaving Wednesday for
Suan Chou.
All these forces at their rate of trav-
cling are due at their destinations on
sunday or Monday. The Russians are
an the dark as to the place where to
I await the Japanese attack. 1t is con-
sidered probable the northern force
will be heavily reinforced; that ST.

vision will clear the railroad to New

northward and strike the Russian
flank at Lao Yang or Mukden, in CO.

intend to make an attempt to hold one

According to the last accounts they

DOES THAT COLT FOLLOW?
II So, Fix Up Stall Where It Cannot
Hurt Itself and Teach It to
Stay at Home.

If 4 colt is left behind right in the
start there will be very little trouble
If on the contrary it has been follow
ing for time it will be likely to make
vigorous effort the first few days to
continue the practice, hence the stall
should be in good shape. The mare
will soon become accustomed to the
practice, and you will be surprised to
find how much more satisfactory, as a
work animal, she is. You will not
have to be constantly on the watch
when the lines are laid down lest the
colt get tangled up the checks and
cause runaway or other. serious
catastrophe. You will be saved the an
noyance Of having it get in front Of
the tongue or of one of the horses,
causing it to swerve from its proper
course, and of it's getting on the wrong
side of the fence when you 60 through
gate. The crops will also be saved
from the effect of its capers. The colt
is much better off in a cool, dark stall
away from the Fostering flies than out
in the hot sun trailing back and forth
across the field or along the highway.
The colt Is safer from accidents in a
good roomy stall and if the mare is
turned to grass at night it can get all
the exercise it needs. 1t will soon be-
gin to eat If there is little hay in
the manger while the mother is out
1t will not only thrive much better
when cared for in this manner, but will
soon draw less heavily upon the mare
for support, allowing more Of her en-
ergy to go to the farm work.-Prairie

made were SO brace snipeAnd some teal
one day between one p. m. and sunset,
and q brace and 26 duck and teal for one
whole day, besides a couple of hours on
