POLICE THINK 1T MURDER.
the Death of John Ii. Quinn
at Joplin, No.

Joplin, Mo, May 20.-John B. Quinn,
who was thought to have committed
suicide here Thursday, is believed
by the police here to have been muir
dered.
He was found dead in his Office with
a bullet hole through his head. The
ball had passed through his brain
from the left to the right temple and
buried itself in a roller-top desk.
From the fact that there were no
powder burns visible around the
wound at the temple and the peculiar
range of the bullet, several physicians
repudiate the suicide theory.
There is a story current of a quarrel
between Quinn and another prominent
Joplin man Thursday afternoon.

WAS THE GALLONS CHEATED?
Sensational story That 81 Dummy
Was substituted For En-
Mayor McCue.

Norfolk, Va, May 22.-There is some
doubt that Mayor Samuel McCue, the
wife murderer of Charlottesville, Va,
really was hanged. The GROWER, a
weekly political publication of this
city, prints a story to the effect that
a New York man travelling in Canada
saw a band of immigrants on their
way to Oklahoma and that McCue, dis
guised, was among them.
The latest development in the case
came in a telegram from Oklahoma
City. Okla. 1t is claimed that McCue
never did ascend the scaffold at Char
lottesville, but a dummy was shot
through the drop instead. Sheriff Rog-
ers, who had charge of the execution
of McCue, says that the ex-mayor was
surely hanged.

A. MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM.
The Attention of Congress Will be
Called to the Hordes OF Undesara-
BILE Foreigners Pouring In.

Washington, May 23.-President
Roosevelthas taken up the immigration
question, and is preparing TO call it
to the attention Of congress and to
the country.
The president believes that one OF
he most serious problems now con-
fronting the American people is how
to deal with the hordes of undesirable
immigrants Europe is pouring upon
our shores.
During the fiscal year which ends
June 80 all immigration records Will
be broken. In those IL months well
on toward a million Storage passen-
gers will have arrived in the United
States, looking for homes or work. The
greatest number arriving in any pre-
vious year was 857 ,046, during the II
months ending June /, 1903. For 1904
the total was 812, $40, and for 1905 it
will be between 900, 900 and l 200, 900.
These are appalling figures. They
are the more appalling when they are
analysed and their significance fully
understood. They mean that in a sin
gle year there pours into the country
a multitude Of people, poor of purse
and many of them poorer yet in quail
ifi~cations for citizenship, equal to or
| greater than the present population OF
| IS states of the United States.
President Roosevelt is carefully
| studying a collection of reports bear
ing upon immigration, with the inten-
ton of urging consideration Of the
problem upon congress at an early day.

thoroughness Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that
supports this claim. She says:
at had a severe attack of grip and, be-
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began / was s lame

three weeks I was obliged TO keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
while I was suffering in this way I

Mrs. Laura NJ. Van Scoy lives at No.

Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train of grip. They are
sold by all druggists.
