LEW WALLACE is DEAD.
Veteran Of TWO Wars Passes Away al
CraWfo rdsviIIe, Ind.

Charlottesville, Ind, Feb. 16.-Sur.
rounded by his family, General Lew
Wallace, author of Ben Hur," one
time minister to Turkey and veteran
of the Mexican and civil wars, died
last evening at his home in this city,
aged 78 years. The health of General
Wallace has been waning for several
years, and for months, despite the eff
forts of the family to keep the public
in ignorance of his true condition, 1t
has been generally known that his
vigorous constitution could not much
longer withstand the ravages of a
wasting disease.
For more than year he had been
unable to properly assimilate food,
and this together with his extreme
age, made more difficult his fight
against death. At no time has he
ever confessed his belief that the end
was near, and his rugged constitution
and remarkable vitality have been re-
sponsible for prolonging his life sew.
eral months.
The end came peacefully. His last
words as he turned to his wife to bid
her goodbye were: II am ready to
meet my Maker"
The famous patients condition,
which had been precarious for the
last three months, became suddenly
worse last evening at 1890 o'clock.

1T MAY PoRTEND PEACE.
Regarded as Possible Result of Assas-
snation of Sergius.

st. Petersburg, reb. 19.-In diplo-
matte circles the opinion is quite gen.
orally expressed that Fridays tragedy
may be followed by the decision of
the government to conclude peace.
For some time despite the official atti-
tude maintained by the government,
there has been growing appreciation
of the difficulties of prosecuting the
war in the midst of increasing compli-
cations at home and as announced by
the Associated Press yesterday, the
matter was actually the subject of
formal consideration by the emperor
and his ministers February 16. Strong
Influences, which, 1t is understood,
In spite of denials, are headed by NJ.
White, president of the committee of
ministers, have been working quietly
In this direction.
General Gripenberg's revelations,
followed by the assassination of Grand
Duke Sergius, in the opinion of some
Of the ablest diplomats, are not un-
likely to lead the emperor definitely
in the direction of peace.
In this connection the war Office is
considerably alarmed by the new dam
ger threatening the Manchurian army
from the systematic attempts making
by Japanese and Chinese bandits to
cut the line of communications back
Of the army. According to reports.
about 10000 men split up into bands
Of several hun ,red each are operating
from Mongolia Ind are striking at the
railroad.
A Russian detachment following up
the Japanese band which cut the road
below Hardin fell into an ambush of
two regularly organized Japanese reg
lments, and was almost cut to pieces,
losing half of it's men and one gun.
The fear is that if the bands move fur
cher north or west they might inter-
rupt communication to such an extent
as to make it impossible to supply the
army. This danger has already COM
PEELED the triple reinforcement of the
railroad guards below Hardin.
The foreign Office insists there is
absolutely nothing in the shape of
peace negotiations under way or in
contemplation.

: MILLER NOT GUILTY.
Former Banker Of New Providence 10
Acquitted.

Hampton, Feb. Pod Miller of the
banking firm of o. e. Miller G. Son, of
New Providence, was acquitted on the
charge Of fraudulent banking The
case had been transferred from the
Hardin county court by the defendant
on the ground that the feeling there
was such that fair and impartial
trial could not be secured
Miller &c Son were charged with
having accepted deposits in their bank
ing institution after they were aware
Of its insolvency.
The evidence showed that most II
not all the deposits that were received
by Miller e. Son after March q. 1904,
were returned by them and that that
date was probably the first intimation
they had of their insolvency.
The failure of this firm was due to
large overdrafts which they were car
rying that were practically worthless.
They had one account with a stock
buyer of New Providence that was ov-
erdrawn about $4,000 and it has not
been collected.

PROFESSOR MACY TEsTIFlES
Or. Taylor Makes an Excellent Wit

mony Was Very Damaging - Body

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-THE state
scored clean hit against the defense
N the Thomas case yesterday upon
The admission of the evidence of Pro-
lessor S. r. Macy, professor of chem
stry of Highland Park college, show
ing that the stomach of Mabel Scho-
ield contained chloroform or poison
which may have been the result of
the action of choral hydrate on the

The court room was treated to
surprise on the appearance of DR..
Taylor, now of Kingsley, Ia. Taylor
repeated the testimony given by him
before the grand jury as to the man
ner in which he was called to the
Thomas house on the night of the al
legged murder.
He said that he came to the house
On West Woodland avenue at the in
stance of Charles Thomas, and that
when he called in the evening he was
met at the door by Charles Thomas,
who told him that he was too late,
that he had given the girl too much

died as a result. He said that he
recognized Thomas as one Of the men,
and believed that August Hast was
he other, although he would make
40 positive assertions on that score.
In the afternoon session of the
court the defense attacked Taylor in
keen cross-examination, in which
his past record was brought into
light and he was made to disclose a
private record which, however, did
not injure his testimony in any great
degree.
Evidence had been already intro
duced showing that Thomas pur-
chased poisons, claiming they were
for an undertaken, and the undertaken
mad sworn that this was untrue.
Other testimony shows that various
persons saw a buggy with two men
and a woman going in the direction
Of the place where the body was
found.
Des Moines, Feb. 1S.-The defense
offered its first startling and intended
conclusive evidence in the person of
Ed. ADJUST, formerly janitor in the
Baker block at the corner of Sixth
and Grand avenues. ADJUST stated
positively that he saw Mabel Scho-
field at the corner Of Sixth avenue and
Locust streets at II o'clock, Satur-
day, October q, 1899, in company
Of NJ. J. ("Doc'O Clarity, who has
since disappeared.
Should ADJUSTS testimony be taken
as final by the jury the case would be
concluded, inasmuch as the state
claims that the death of the young
woman was accomplished long before
hat hour.

Sufficient Strength.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. l6.-The
expected bolt from the Niedringhaus
forces came on the 23rd ballot for
United States senator, but was not of
sufficient strength to change the rela-
tive standing of the candidates. Ma
pies, of Christian, and Viler, of Stone,
broke from the caucus nominee and
cast their ballots for Lieutenant Gov
ernor John c. Mckinley, who is pre-.
siding over the joint sessions. A mo-
ton to adjourn was opposed by the
Kerens forces, who, voting with the
democrats, succeeded in ordering an
oLner ballot, the twenty-fourth. The
vote resulted practically the same as

Question of Ownership CT Coal Under

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-THE question
of the ownership of the coal under the
Des Moines river, which is meander-
ed stream, has been left by the ex-
ecutiye council to Attorney General
Mullan. The stream was once declar-
ed navigable and then the bed belong
ed to the state. 1t was later declared
non-navigable and the bed Of such
stream belongs to the abutting pro-
perty owners.
The Des Moines river Is meandered,
however, and property owners in such
case own only to the meandered lines.
The question of ownership is quite
complicated, and is important, for the
coal companies have already taken
out a great deal of coal.
