SIX KILLED WITH HAMMER
william McWaIIIams of Independence,
Ia, Charged with Numbering
wife und Children.

DES MONIES, Ia, Nov. 2L-Mrs Will
liam McWiliams and her FIVE children
ranging from years to IS years of age
were found murdered this afternoon at
their farm home, six miles south of In
dependence, la. The husband and father
William NJ. Mcwiliams, is now under ar
rest at Independence, charged with the
crime.
The murder was one OF the most brutal
in the history of eastern Iowa. Evidently
the mother had been killed while preparing
a meal for when the bodies were found
food was on the stove cooking. She had
been killed by blows of hammer and her
skull was terribly crushed. then she had
been savagely hacked with a knife. After
her murder the children had evidently been
called in one by one and murdered in a
similar manner, for all wore clothing that
indicated that they had been at work on
the farm just before death. The babe. not
years of age, when found, still wore a
hood and mittens and had in it's hand a
piece of buttered bread. One blow of the
hammer had sufficed for IL and then the
murderer laid It in its mothers arms. The
only evidence of a struggle was found in
injuries sustained by the 16-yeaT-old
daughter; her hands were badly laceratcd
where she had apparently clutched at the
murderous knife.
The murder was discovered by a milk
man named Saunders, who called at the
house to get milk. When the officers
/ reached the house no trace Of the husband
could be found, but an abandoned suit OF
/ his clothing was found badly smeared with
/ blood. Later II was learned from a rura
mail carrier that McWilliams had beer
seen on his way 10 Independence this af
/ ternoon and he had coolly told the carrier
| that his family had been killed. He came
| into Independence by circuitous route
and was not found until this evening.
| McWnliams denies his guilt. He will b,

ALF MILLION TO GO INTO ENTERPRISE
light STORIES HIGH ON PUNDT CORNER

II Is now regarded as certainty that
took definite shape at a dinner given by
Rome Miller at the Her Grand last night
TO number of merchants. bankers and
other business men, when It was decided
to form a stock company for tho erection
Of a $4,000 hotel. Before the evening was
over 100000 had been pledged.
The plan is TO build. at Seventeenth and
Douglas streets. hotel to cost $4,000 \
loan of s25OOOO can be secured on the build
ing and this would leave a like amount to
raise but In order to be sure Of enough
money. It was decided to got subscriptions
to the amount of SsOoOo.
Pledges at the Dinner.
| All the men present at the dinner spoke
encouragingly Of the prospects and most
of them suited the deed to the word by
| pledging themselves to take large blocks
of stock. Written pledges to the amount
OF $4,000 were secured in a short time
after the matter had been talked over
! thoroughly
! OF the remaining 100000 It is expected
that $4,000 will be donated by men who own
property in the vicinity OF the hotel site.
This leaves yet $4,000 OF stock which must
be disposed of. The general opinion was
that it would not take long to hnd the
money. The work of getting stock sub
scriptions is to be pushed from today.
1t is understood that Rome Miller is to
he the lessee of the hotel and he is to
guarantee the stockholders per cent on
their investment.
Site for the Hotel,
The hotel will be erected al the south
west corner of Seventeenth and Douglas.
known as the Pundt corner. This was re-
Gently bought by a syndicate in which the
Brandeis brothers are prominent. The
building as projected will be 1872 feet square
and eight stories high
Business men have been interested for a
long time in trying to secure another hotel
for the city. The Commercial club labored
long to secure a settlement between Rome
Miller and Peter E. Her whereby Mr. MI
Ter might either build hotel or move out
OF the Her Grand and let Mr.. Her build a
new Her Grand. Mr.. Her and Mr.. Miller
could not reach an agreement. In view
of this the Commercial club dropped the
matter.
Mr.. Miller has been at work for some
time to enlist the support of men with
capital and he has succeeded. Men who
were at the dinner last night say tina
Omaha is to have a hotel which would d'
, credit to city Of larger size.

 The Yale nine was pitted Saturday against the strong New York National league champions at the Polo Grounds, New York, and went down to defeat before the curves of Mathewson, Me- Ginnity and Wiltse. The professionals had everything their own way with the college boys, who appeared somewhat somewhat rattled at the fast inside ball of the New Works. The encouraging thing about the. game, from Yale standpoint, was the fact that they were able to chalk up eleven hits for total of thirteen bases off the crack New York pitchers. Pratt, who started the game in the box for Yale, pitched an encouraging game and will be given a good try-out later. Umpire Hornung declared after the game that Pratt would make an excellent pitcher before the close of the season. Attendance, 2,e00. The score by innings:

QUIET REIGNS In
RUSSIA'S CAPITAL.
Bitter Geld Aids Govern
ment to Maintain Order.
ACTIVITIES IN MANcHUHA RESUMED.
Russians Take the Offensive and Break
Through the Japanese Lines-They
are RepuIsed aud Driven Back.

Since the big riot in st. Petersburg
ten days ago the Russians seem to have
the situation at home pretty we'll in
hand. However strikes and uprisiugs
continue in the provinces. The bitter
coal has materially aided the Cars
soldiers in keeping the populace in
their homes, and while the outward sp-
pearances indicate that the backbone
of the revolution is completely broken.
1T is not at all certain that 1t will not
gather new force particularly IL the
Japanese continue successful in Man
churia.
In Manchuria, since the taking OF
Port Arthur, the Russian and Japanese
forces around Muhden have ed
activities. Kuropatkin seemed to take
the offensive and at one place broke
through the Japanese lines, but the
Russians were driven back, and what
seemed q victory for them was turned
to defeat.
