One "went down" the Pike in st. Louis

Que as of old, and the best spieler will

Lewis and Clark exposition will be of real
educational value, but does the sp;eler en-
phasize this fact? Not he. He knows
that the people want to be amused.

the crowd stops a moment and smiles at

who Is charged with numbering his s.
year-old daughter, Lila, by giving her
a dose Of oil Of wintergreen, was re-
sumed yesterday. Waterman, who has
been held in bail OF 5000, was SUR
rendered yesterday By his bondsmen,
and the evidence presented at the hear
ing By witnesses for the prosecution
was of damaging character.
in a short space of time Waterman
lost two wives and three children, in
cluding Lila, for whose death he IS now
standing trial, and this aroused sus-
pieion, the second wife dying only a
short time previous to Lila.
Mrs. Mclean Of Lyndon, who cared
for Naterman's second wife in her ill
ness, preceding her suspicious death, tes-
titled that Waterman tried to give his
wife poison, claiming II would help her
heart trouble. Mrs. Mclean stated that
Waterman told his wife he had given
the stuff to Others and knew it would
help her. Mrs. Mclean said she thought
Mrs Waterman was poisoned.
Or. j. NJ. Allen who made the au-
topsy Of the child's body, said symptoms
Of poisoning were shown. Dr. Allen
said that ii the testimony regarding the
administering Of oil Of wintergreen was
true the cause of the childs death was
poisoning
DR.. B. II, Stone, the state pathologist
who examined the internal organs Of
the child, testified that the spinal cord
was normal, and that death was not
due to meningitis. He said the kidneys
were badly diseased, showing traces Of
acute nephritis, which in indicative Of
poison BY salieylie acid.

GUS looking knife three inches into his
neck and robbed him OF $3.50 which was

employed on the same section gang and
were walking along the road from this
city to Clarendon which they had nearly
reached, when with the tiiendish pur-
pose the man suggested to the boy that
they lay down and sleep.
It appeared that under Various pre-.
lenses the man had kept the boy awake
all the previous night SO as to make him
sleepy. The boy being very tired and
on the verge Of exhaustion from his long
vigil, was glad to comply with his old
er companions request and in less than
q minute had fallen into a sound sleep.
Nincenzo had evidently prepared his
scheme thoroughly and as it has since
been learned, had been seen by some
Of the Italian labofers sharpening the
jack knife which Is of the kind that is
carried by the laborers. Stealthily
creeping up on the lad lie sank the
instrument into the back Of his neck,
cutting several cords. Before the boy
had awakened into condition of semi
consciousness the man had taken the
money. The sight Of the blood must
have, however, frightened him, and
drawing handkerchief from his pocket,
he wound it around the boys neck and
left him. He has not been seen since.
a passerby heard the boys groans and
brought him to this city, wher the cash
was sewed. Physicians said that had
the knife gone half inch farther the
wound would have proved fatal.

Oyster Bay, August ri. The report

source Of satisfaction. 1t Is dis,
tinct assurance that efforts are being
made, with increasing prospect Of ulti-

cial points Of difference among the con
ferees 1t is regarded as certain that
every hour gained in the time Of the
conference makes for peaceful solution
of the differences,
Thus far the president has gained his
points, one after another. IT was due
to his efforts that the conference did
not break up finally last week, and his
further important suggestions prevented
a final dissolution Of the conference on
Monday Now he has carried his ap-
peal, too, which can Be said to have the
positive support Of the great neutral
