SACRIFICE OF A PRIEST
CONSUMED BY FIRE IN GoNGRE.
CATIONS SIGHT.
Decidedly Yellow Tinged Story Sent
From Houston Relative TO Minis
ter's Deed.

Houston, Tex, May 7.-Onering
himself as human sacrifice at the
altar of his own cathedral, Ariosi ORR
flo, parish priest at Cuale, state OF
Guadalajara, Mexico, has atoned for
the sins of his congregation, according
to the dictates of his infamed imagin-
alton. With his clothing saturated
with oil he stood upon the altar in full
view of the thousands summoned to
witness the spectacle, applied a torch
flames. AS the fire sprang about him
he prayed for forgiveness Of the sins
of the members of the congregation.
at the same time threatening with
damnation any who might approach.
Falling to the t1agging of the edi-
fee even his bones were consumed,
and, according to the account of the
affair, his dust was dissipated by a
sudden gust of wind, the ashes set
tling over the awe-struck spectators.
Before the sacrifice Father Oritio
passed from house to house in his par
ish, offering blessings to the members
of his flock and commanding their
presence at the cathedral. At the ap-
pointed time, standing before them, he
called upon God to witness his deed
and forgive the sins of those over
whom he had spent his life admins
tering. He was attired in the full
vestments of his Office, with crown
of thorns upon his head. He died
without an outcry of pain, praying to
the last.

AN EXPERT ARRIVES.
Doctor Francis Will Investigate Spot
ted Fever in Montana.

Hamilton, Mont, May doctor
Edward Francis arrived last night di
rect from Washington, D. G. He was
sent here by the government to in
vestigate the so-called spotted fever" ;"
There are many theories advanced as
to the cause OF this disease, some
claim it is the water, and many hold
that it is the effect of the bite of GER
tain species Of woodtlck. The strange
thing about the disease is that it Is
only contracted by persons living on
or visiting the west side of the river.
Several deaths are reported from IL
this year, but it does not seem to be
so prevalent this year as in seasons
past.
Doctor Francis will consult with the
resident doctors here and attend any
cases that may be afflicted with the
fever. He will make a thorough in
vestigation and will be greatly aided
in his work by the reports OF the re-
suits of previous Investigations.

is FINALLY IDENTIFIED
Body of Cutler Mountain Murder Vic
tim Claimed.

Colorado Springs, Colo, May T.
Mrs. Media Kempler. wife of Richard
Kempler, Of Syracuse, N. Y, has iden-
tilted the body of the Cutler mountain
victim as that of her daughter, Mrs.
Bessie Bouton, and has left with the
remains for New York. The Identified
ton was made complete by the dental
work upon the teeth and by a scac
upon the right side Of the left fore
finger, as we'll as by the hair. The
mother charged that Milton Franklin
Andrews attempted to murder the girl
by poison while on the Pacific coast,
and this convinces the police that il
they can capture Andrews they will be
able to establish a murder charge
against him.
The body of Bessie Bouton was
found on Cutler mountain, south OF
the city, on the afternoon OF Decem,
Der II, 1904, by Doctor Chamberlain
and party of friends. Death was
caused by a 38-calibre bullet being
fired into the head Every article Of
clothing was removed by the murder
er and the body was placed across the
stump of a tree face downward. In
the effort to prevent recognition OF
the body the murderer poured gaso-
line upon the body and built fire
under the face. But the extensive
dental work upon the teeth was not
destroyed, and it was this work which
led to the Identification of the victim.

Chicago University Does Away With
Symbolic Lamp.

Chicago, May THE official seal
of the University of Chicago soon to
be selected will not be adorned with

The little vessel of oil and taper Of
fame symbolic of classical learning
is to be omitted from the die finally

The reason as given out by Doctor

trar, to a designer, was not that the
university wishes to be unique, but
that the lamp is too suggestive OF

DILEMMA IN WHICH RAILROADS
FIND THEMSELVES.
RATE LAW OR ROOSEVELT
Defeat Of Railway Legislation Viewed
as Surely Leading to Presi-
dents Reelection.

Chicago, May 7.-Walter Wellmar,
in Washington special to the Rec.
ord-Herald, says:
If we defeat all railway legislation
in the next congress, the American
people will rise up and insist upon re.
electing Mr.. Roosevelt to the presi-
dency."
This was the remark made by a well
known railway attorney when asked
for his opinion as to the result of the
hearings now being held by the SEN
ate committee on interstate COM
merce.
Il believe the railroads Of the codn-
try have it in their power to defeat in
the senate all proposed legislation at
fecting freight rates." continued the
lawyer, 'but | doubt if they have the
courage to exercise that power.

as to the state Of public opinion and
have told my railway friends of my
conclusions.
Roosevelt or New Law.
IF they want the country to force
four more years Of the presidency
upon Mr.. Roosevelt they will go 20
work and induce the senate 10 kill all
proposed railway legislation. If that
comes to pass the people will have
their revenge. They are with the
president. They say he is the one man
who has had the nerve to stand UP and
fight the railroad interests.
"If there is no legislation, the rail-
roads and the senate will be blamed
and cry will go up for another term
for Mr.. Roosevelt in the White house,
so that he may continue the war in
the peoples behalf until he wins.
'"This sentiment is not confined to
republicans. I found 1t almost as
strong among democrats. Mr.. Roose-
welt has broken down party lines. He
has the masses of the people hypno-
tized. They are with him heart and
soul And if our railroad friends make
the colossal blunder of routing the
president on the rate issue they will
live to regret it. Despite Mr.. Roose-
velt's remuneration, despite the opposi-
ton of the railroads and big corpora
tions, believe the people would re-
fuse to permit him to leave the presi-

This talk comes from a railway
man, republican, who has not been
overfriendly to President Roosevelt,
and who is emphatically opposed to
such legislation as the president is

tleman himself says, he can see

it. He may wish the wall were not
in his road, but that does not remove
it. 1t is there just the same.

sidetracks or terminal lines, and pro-
viding means for more expeditions

OF Interest to Women.

Many winter ailments can be
prevented, or mitigated, by the
use of a proper diet.
Children who are persistent cold
catchers are greatly benefited by
small doses of cod liver oil. 1t
supplies them with extra fuel and
helps to quicken the circulation.
For this reason, too, people who
suffer from chilhlainS should be
generously fed. particularly With
fat-containing foods. for chilblains
are caused by depressed vitality
and a slow circulation which leads
to these inhamed patches forming
on various parts of the body
usually ON the fingers and toes.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Large Acreage is to be Planted to Sugar
Cane, and Plans for Large Sugar
Mil Perfected.

One hundred tons of the famous
Demerara cane for planting have
been received by P. E. Blalack, and
will be put out on the Buena Vista
farm near this city. This cane is
said to be far superior to the old
ribbon cane and its introduction
into this section means a rapid de-
velopment in cane growing. About
sixty acres of this cane will be
planted entirely for seed this season,
and it is calculated that in three
years Mr.. Blalack will have 1000
acres in cane, and those who can
figure, will realize what an enor-
nous amount will be grown, when
it is estimated the cane will pro-
duce from thirty to forty tons per
acre. Mr.. Blalack and associates
have plans fully matu-ed for a
large sugar mill to be erected on
his plantation as soon as the cane
crop is ready for it.
The following parties are inter
ested with Mr.. Blalack and will
also plant cane this year; Geo.
Smith, DR.. Bell, Jas. A. Browne,
L Jon c. Hill and T. L. Jones.
The Brownsville country has
long been recognized as the ccm-
ing sugar producing section of the
United States, and really of the
world, and the gentlemen who have
in purpose the erection of the SUI
gar mill, are proving to the world
at large their faith in this growing
section. THE HERALD will keep
its readers posted as to progress
whenever any information is given
out that is of any interest.
Besides the parties mentioned,
several others in the vicinity will
also plant cane.
