vessel which, independent of Its ar
tistic merit, was no doubt highly valued
as a mere household possession, brings
to mind many recollections of the life
of him who raised himself from very
lowly position to one of great power
and usefulness.
Martin Luther, who was the son Of
John Lotter or Lauther (Which name
our Reformer afterwards changed to
I.uther) and Margaret Lindenen, was
born in the little town of lslebern, IN
Sayony, on November 10th. 1883. HIS
father was a miner. Luther died In
1916, and princes, earls. mobiles, and
students without number. attended the
funeral of the miners son in the church

MAYOR AND BOSS
TO BE INDICTED
Heney and Burns Hot On Trail of
San Francisco Officials.
Supervisor Sickened by Political Cor
ruption Tells Whole Story Writ
ten Confession Impl Gates Mayor
Schmitz and Boss Reuf in Most
Outrageous Gratis.

San Francisco, Oct. 25.-That the
evidence they have gathered is suffi-
cent to send Abe Ruef, Mayor Schmitz
a dozen or more supervisors, a cOtcrle
of commissioners and a score or more
of petty officials to the penltentlary
is the news which has leaked out from
the inner councils of Attorney Francis
j. Heney and Detective w. j. Burns,
who, working in conjunction with Dis
trict Attorney Langdon, have uncov-
cred graft in San Francisco on scale
that would make even Boss" Tweed
sit up and take notice.
Trolley franchises sold for $780,
600; retail liquor dealers held up for
thousands of dollars; theaters forced
to give up third of their profits; con-
tractors made to pay tribute; paving
contractors allowed to fatten off the
city treasury; wholesale liquor dealers
compelled to pay monthly royaitles;
French restaurants mulcted for glgan-
tic fees" and even women of the ten
derloin coerced into dividing the earn
ings of their shame. This is some of
the moral rottenness laid at the door
eof the present city administration.
1t is said that cuong the first indlct-
ments to be asked will be one for
Mayor Schmitz, who is now In Europe,
with his wife, and one for Abe Ruef
the city "boss."
I'VE shall get the crooks" they say
and then they add, "We are going to
get the big ones as well as the small
fry"
First in importance of all the sub
t,cts that the two men have lnvestl-
gafed comes the trolly deal. Shortly
after the earthquake and fire last
April the United Railroads was given
a blanket franchise by the supervision
to convert its cable roads into an over
head electric system. Before the nre
the United Railroads was refused such
a franchise For the blanket IRAN
chise the corporation paid the CITY
nothing. Traction experts value the
concession at S5,00O,00O.
IT is stated that Heney and Burns
have secured confessions from mem
hers of the Board of Supervisors ex
posing a gigantic graft in this connec
ton.
The amount the United Railroads
maid for the privilege of converting al
it's cable roads into electric llnes Is
said TO have been 100000. and. ac
cording to the written and signed con
fessons of supervisors, salo
he now in Heney's possession
only $72 900 was turned over by hue
for distribution among the Is members

TWENTY INCHES:
STILL SHOWS
Greatest Storm in Twenty Years in
Western States.
Whole Country Between the Rocky
Mountains and Missouri River Is
Under White Pail - Sheepmen in
Wyoming, New Mexico and Colo
RADIO Suffer.

Denver, Oct. 23.-snow, wind and
cold have extended over nearly the en-
tire country between the Rocky noun
tains and the Missouri river today,
causing heavy loss OF livestock and
fruit. Telegraph wires have been pros
trated and railroad schedules disarrang-
ed. The storm is almost unprecedent-
ed for severity at this season Of the year
and takes rank, according to the wealth
er bureau, with the snowfall on April
% and 23, 1885.
Up to O'Clock this evening about 20
inches of snow had fallen in Denver
and indications were that the snow
would continue all night.
Locally but little damage was done.
Shec. men in Wyoming, Colorado and
New Mexico, it is believed, will suffer
heavy losses, as they were unprepared
for such weather. There are hundreds
O tons of sugar beets and thousands OF
barrels of apples still in the open IN
the northern part of Colorado and
should the cold continue, the damage
will be very great to the rancaers.
Telegraphic service throughout the
West is badly hampered and trains in
definitely late.
The blizzard which has been raging
in Pueblo and vicinity since early Sat-
urday afternoon is slightly abated thie
morning. Railroad and street car traf-
fc is badly crippled. The Rio Grande
west OF Pueblo has suffered most from
the snow, which is unusually heavy
along it's line, ranging from 16 inches
at Florence to 80 inches at Buena Vls-
ia. Trains from the East are generally
from few minutes to several hours
late. Cattle and other stock on ranges
suffered from the wet snow and cold

FLY CAUSED
A RUNAWAY.
One of S. SCheuer & Sons Teams
Made Some Excitement
for Port !Reading.

A great deal of excitement was
caused in Port Reading, yesterday af-
ternoon, when a team of horses own
ed by S. Scheuer &c Sons, of this city,
ran away and dashed along the main
thoroughfare.
The horses were eating, when a big
horsefly settled on the back of one of
the team, and annoyed the horse TO
such an extent that it started to kick.
This caused the other horse to get ex-
cited, and soon both horses started
on a run.
The driver, who was near by, came
along, but the team was going too
fast for him, and he could not catch
them. Mr.. Turner, of Port Reading,
noticed the runaway and managed to
get in the wagon. He could not stop
the horses as the brides were off.
The team finally pulled the wagon in
to a deep mud hole, and they could
not get it out again in a rush, Sc they
were caught.
1t is understood that when Mr..
Turner got out of the wagon and went
to the head of one of the horses that
the animal bit him, and that the
wound, while not a dangerous one
is painful.
