OUEERLECAL FIGHT
FOR FRENCHMAN'S
CORPSE.
From a Staff Correspondent.

D ARIS. July 5.-Jaded Parisians
- have found something to in
terest and amuse them in a
keen legal fight which is now
going on for the possession of a
corpse between the children of a
wealthy druggist by his first wife and
his young and pretty widow. The

he invented and left both his widow
and children we'll provided for. He was
buried in the family vault. which be-
longs to the latter. The widow wants
the body removed to another part of
the cemetery that she may have the
consolation of being laid at rest beside
IT when her turn comes to depart from
this mundane sphere. The children con-
tend that they have prior rights in
the remains of their defunct sire and
that the solace of being buried beside
him some day should be theirs.
That the druggist was devoted to his
second wife Is shown not only by the
generous provision he made for her in
his will, but by the fact. according to
the story told by his other heirs, that
he lived with her for year and half
before the divorce court set her free
to marry him. He died suddenly in a
motor car of a serious complaint from
which he was suffering while he was
on a tour in the south of France with
her When he breathed his last they
were twenty miles from the nearest big
town, which had been their destination
and as none Of the country people on
the way would consent to receive the
body the poor woman drove all that
distance supporting the grewsome bur-
den in her arms. This is adduced by
her counsel as proof that. despite their
disparity in years. she was ardently at
tached to him. AS a reward for such

he contends, strenuously object to hav-
Ing her buried alongside of his prede-
cessor. He draws a touching picture
of the loneliness of the deceased patent
medicine proprietor, left to mOlder IN

quently protests against a decision be-
ing given which would expose him to
such a fate.

Supervisors Should Provide
Funds for Polytechnic High
BY Walter ~. Bush.

"H HE School Board at its meeting
of June 28, in view of the fact
Z that the Polytechnic High
School. corner of Bush and
Stockton streets, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire, requested the Board
of Supervisors to set aside SIS 900 out
of the school construction account of
the public building fund for the pur-
chase of the equipment OF this school.
About a year ago the city pur-
chased lot for the new Polytechnic
High School in the vicinity of the AT
filiated Colleges. 1t is the intention
of the School Board, in case the Board
of Supervisors appropriates the SIS 900
for equipment, to erect on the school
lot temporary structure in which
said equipment may be installed 1t
consists of carpenter tools, wood
turning lathes, engine lathes, black
smith forges, drawing tables, sewing
and dressmaking outfits, and will be
transferred to the new buildings when
finished.
In view of the fact that this equip
ment is permanent investment; that
it affords boys and girls a training
in artisanship that will render them ef-
hcient workers in the task of rebuild
ing the city; that while we have three
literary or culture high schools the
Polytechnic is the only high school
/ that fits its students for industrial life,
and that without this equipment not
only a large number of those attend
ing the school but of those planning
to take up vocational training will be
seriously crippled in their preparation
for their life work, the Supervisors
should take immediate and affirmative
action upon the request of the Board
of Education.
Industrial training as part of our
public school system has long passed
the experimental stage. If it increases
the efficiency of the boy and the girl
in normal times, how much more valu-
able does it become when they are sur
rounded. by the opportunities of to-

Denver, Feb. 21-With the arrest OF
Charles H. Meyer and William ID.
Haywood, president and secretary or
the Western Federation of Miners
here, and their swift removal from the
state, it is believed that one of the
most fiendish murder plots ever
hatched in this country has been eff

Meyer and Haywood were arrested
on charges of completely in the assas-
sination of Former Gov. Steunenberg
Of Idaho last December.
Orchard Confesses.
y A confession made by Harry Orch
ard, now in Jail in Boise, was the basis
of the charges on which they were ar
rested. Almost conclusive evidence
has been found that it was Orchard
who actually threw the bomb that
killed Steunenberg. He declares that
the plot was engineered by Meyer and
Haywood.
In his confession Orchard has
charged that the "inner ring" of the
Western Federt tion of Miners is pure
ly and simply club of dynamiters.
This confession, it is asserted, dis
closed a plot to kill Former Gov. Pea
body of Colorado; William H. Gabbert,
chief justice of the Colorado supreme
court, and John Campbell, former

TWITCHINC NERVES
4 Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
By Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have af.
ficted in regular succession one genera
ton after another of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in-
evitable The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, Of No. 4O8
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
son was realizing benefit from the use Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. My trouble had then become so
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. / often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After TAX
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and I ceased to use the remedy.
evidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since l
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
! the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-
tion, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weakness and the special ailments of girls
and women. For further information,

Walsenburg, Colo, Feb. 21-An ex'

Maitland mine caused the death OF
at least thirteen miners and perhaps
sixteen.
Shortly before o'clock there was
an explosion in that part of the Matt
land known as the Sunshine which
caused the earth to tremble for miles
around Soon after man ran out
and reported the mine was on fire.
The explosion caused the fall of d
mass of rock from the roof and until
this is cleared away it will not be
known definitely just how many more
are in the mine.
The explosion was caused by gas,
and the deaths were caused by the
gas and afterdamp. 1t is supposed
the explosion occurred as the result OF
open lamps in use, as most of the men
in that part of the mine used open
lamps.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. q. - The dis
ruption of the Russian cabine, which
was predicted last Friday by the AS
sociated Press, is coming to pass more
speedily than was expected. Though
both Premier Witte and Minister of
the Interior Durnovo remain, Minister
Of Communication Nemechaieff and
Controller of the Empire Filossosoff,

and Timirazeff into retirement in a

said also to be slated for retirement,
though this is not certain. M. Meme
chaieff, who has just returned from
swinging around the circle inspect
ing railways, is said to have declared
that it was impossible to maintain an
efficient service while the
Police are Jaiing

railway operators, and that he quits
his post in disgust.
The police have been advised of the
discovery of a plot at SaratOff to re-
lease the murderess of Gen. Sakhar-
off, who was shot and killed at Sara
toff Dec. last; the man who threw a
bomb at Vice Gov. Won Knoll and 9th

gled into the prison a quantity of

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-The mild
