DEATH OF HERR MOST.
Noted Anarchist Dead of Erysipelas
at Cincinnati,

Cincinnati.-Herr Johann Most, the
anarchist, died in this city Saturday
of erysipelas.
Herr Most was delirious most of the
time during his last few days illness,
suffering greatly, but occasionally re-
peating parts of his most famous
speeches, using the German language,
with which he was naturally most IA
miliar.
For several years Herr Most es-
capped Imprisonment by toning down
his utterances as editor and public
speaker. In 1886, the year when an
archy reached it's elimination in the
United States, Most got himself into
trouble by advising his hearers to buy
rifles wherewith to shoot capitalists
Three years afterward he told them to
follow the example of the Chicago
bomb throwers. On both occasions he
was given year upon Blackwell's ISL
and In which to think out details OF
both programs"

Railroaders Discouraged.

Denver-A Republican special from
Durango Saturday night says: 1t has
been showing steadily the past twenty
four hours and continues tonight. All
efforts to open the road through AMI
mas canon to Silverton have been
abandoned sor the present as nothing
can be accomplished III the storm is
over. 1t may be month before the
road is opened. No train got through
from the east to-day and it is impos-
sible to tell when the road over the
Cumbres range will be opened. Trains
over the Rio Grande Southern are still
running as far as Rico. The east
bound train goes to Chama every day
and returns.

Women Inventors.

Men have no longer n monopoly in
the domain of invention In the first
half of the nineteenth century only
thirty-five women obtained patents in
America. Between 1850 and 1850 their
number was only twenty-five. During
the next decade they rose to 800. and
within the ten years ending 1890 there
were 1,590 women who have obtained
patents, representing nearly l per cent
of the total returns. In England per-
haps the figures are even more striking.
as the women represent about per
cent of the total applicants for patents.

A WONDERFUL GAS.
How 1t Preserves Food and RevOiu-
tionizes transportation.

What promises TO be the most phe-
nomenal and revolutionary discovery
III chemistry OF the century, says the
New York World. is at present occupy
ing the minds of the foremost scien-
lists i'll the United States laboratories.
This is the finding of a gas that will
absorb from all organic matter the
moisture that causes decay. Without
the assistance of an elaborate plant
food materials. timber. sewage and all
sorts of things can be subjected to Il
new process which will preserve them
in IL perfect state almost indefinitely.
Samples of fruits and vegetables We're
subjected to the process four years ago
and then analysed by G.. W. lehman.
chief chemist of the United States gov
ernment board of health He found
them absolutely free from bacteria
and apparently capable of defying the
ravages of time for an indefinite period.
In May of this year the sealed cases
in which Mr.. Lehman had placed
these samples We're opened by him and
again subjected to analysis. He found
that the food materials had undergone
no decomposition or other chemical
change. BY soaking them in water he
found they resumed their original col
OF, taste and nutritious qualities. But,
more important than this, he discov
cred that not single micro organism
was present in any of the several food
products.
A few moments consideration Will
reveal the revolutionary nature of the
discovery in the matter of food, but
that is only a small part of the Won
ders claimed for it.
Farmers will be able to subject their
wheat shipments to the new treatment

ABRAHAM H. HUMMEL.
The Lawyer Convicted of Conspiracy
in Dodge-Morse Case.

1t is not very often that prominent
lawyer is sent behind the bars, and the
conviction of Abraham III. Hummel,
who has practiced for twenty-five years
before the bar of New York, of 4 Grim
inal offense has attracted national at
tention. After the jury had found him
guilty as charged i'll the Indictment and
the court had pronounced sentence,
consigning him TO years imprison-
ment and imposing III addition Il fine
of $500 some of IiummefS acquaint-
ances followed him from the courtroom

did not desert him, and with his silk

the bars to greet his visitors and eX-
claimed: I'm always glad to meet the
newspaper boys. Sorry L can't invite
you in
Hummel was born in Boston in 1850,
was taken by his parents to New York
as child and attended the public
schools, studied law, was admitted to
the bar in 1879 and built up large
practice as a lawyer in criminal cases.
The indictment upon which he was
tried charged him with conspiracy to
invalidate the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles w. Morse. He was also
indicted for Subornation of perjury,
but has not been tried on that charge.
Mr. Morse is New York millionaire
and ex-president of the American Ice
company. Mrs. Morse was formerly
Miss Clemence CowleS, a society belle
of st. Louis. In 1892 she married
Charles +. Dodge, who at that time
seemed to have n promising future.
and all went we'll until he began lead
ing a fast life. She obtained a divorce
from him in the state of New York in
1898 and in 1901 married Mr.. Morse.
An uncle of Mr.. Morse. who did not
like the second wife, set out to see if
the two could not be separated and
retained Mr.. Hummel. The latter, ac-
cordinS to the. charge upon which he
was indicted, induced the former hus-
band of Mrs. Morse to periure himself
and sign an affidavit stating that he
had not been properly served i'll the
divorce obtained by her and that it
was therefore Illegal. On the suppo-
sition that his testimony was true the
marriage OF Mr.. and Mrs. Morse was
annulled. Subsequently Dodge turned
states evidence and confessed that he
had been bribed to commit perjury and
:hat the divorce his former wife OBJ
- =. from him was valid. 1t is held
that the outcome of the case has estab-
lished the validity of her second mar
rage. Hummel is seeking Il new trial.

3. S. Cable, Son of r. r. Gable.
OF This City, General Attorney
for Rock Island Road.
SERVES WITH w. T. RANKIN
Young Man for So important a Posi-
ton. =. Holden Out as Traf-
fic Manager.

Important changes, both in the legal
and traffic departments of the Rock Is
land railroad, were announced yester-
day. Benjamin S Gable. son of eX-
President r. r. Cable. of this city, has
been appointed. with w. T. Rankin. a
general attorney for the company.
b. S. Cable is not quite 80 years of
age. and the appointment of so young
a man TO such an important position is
considered remarkable in railroad cir
cles. II is pointed out, however. that
Mr.. Cable had gone into the legal de-
partment of the road as soon as he
had completed his studies at Yale and
the Harvard law school. and has earn
ed the new position by able, earnest
and hard work For the last two or
three years Mr.. Cable has held the po-
sition of attorney of the Rock Island
for Illinois. His headquarters will be
N Chicago.
Mr.. Rankin, who will be associated
with him. has been assistant attorney
general. NJ A. Law retains his posi-
ton as general attorney for the road
west of the Missouri river.
Holden Leaves Road.
j. F. Holden. freight traffic manager
of the Rock Island, rendered his resig-
nation TO accept the position of vice
president of the Midland Valley rail-
road. Mr.. Holden. up 10 the time when
w. Il. Biddle was appointed third vice
president of the Rock Island in charge
of traffic, had fun charge of the traffic
department and made an excellent rep
utation in the position. He came to
the Rock Island five or six years ago
when the Rock Island acquired control
of the Choctaw. Oklahoma and Gulf.
of which he had been the general
freight agent.

mean a complete revolution in the
handling of railway traffic in Peoria is
apparent. and it is learned on good
authority that the rumors TO the effect
that the Rock Island depot is TO be

founded on solid facts, and that a third

It's trains into the Rock Island depot
within another year.
This third railway line is one of the
largest through lines from the west
entering Peoria, and its severing of
relations from the P. & p U. railway
will mean big shake up in the pres
ent methods of handling through
freight and passenger traffic. The of
