New York, Oct. 5.-Believing that
the murder doctors,' as they called
the board Of health physicians, were
cutting the threats Of their children
in a public school in the williamsburg
section of Brooklyn, l,5GO women,
nearly all Of them Italians, stormed
the school building in a mad effort to
reach the little ones today. Before
the riot had been quelled several po-
licemen had been seriously injured by
the Infatuated women and one of the
rioters had been arested
For several days physicians of the
board Of health have been examining
the eyes and throats of the pupils.
Many Of the pupils, upon going to their
homes told their parents that the
8 murder doctors = wanted to cut their
threats, and frenzy, that does not lis
ten to reason, spread among the moth
ers Of the pupils. Today they decided
to make an investigation in a body and
marched to the school building j, 500
strong. The police tried to stop them,
and the women turned on the officers.

and put them to rout before detail Of

AUGSBURG TO USE
CARNEGIE WORDS
First Educational Institution in
Minnesota to Adopt "Sim-
ri. plified $780,"

Augsburg seminary has adopted the
simpllfed spelling list recently pro-.
mulgated by President Roosevelt for,
the use Of :, government departments.
This institution is the college and theo-
logical seminary. for the Norwegian
Lutheran Free church, aRd is one of
the oldest educational institutions in
the state. s'2 - o.. ~,
The faculty might be expected to
welcome any reform in the spelling Of
English from two reasons: the members
undoubtedly realize to a greater de-
gree the many difficulties encountered
by foreigners in mastering English
spelling as many Of the students are
recent arrivals from Norway; and in
the second place, Norway has been
struggling with spelling reform for
many, years. Few Norwegians speak
the language as it is written, for the
spelling follows the old Danish forms
from which. the speech has gradually
diverted and the two are now vastly
different. Most Norwegian educators
are consequently r.. natural spelling re-
formers, and. this is one Of the reasons
that Augsburg sem nary promptly
adopted the Rooseveltian spelling idea.

MAD COW GIVES
APPLETON THRILLS
Frantic Animal Injuries Two Men,
Kills q Holse-Is Then
Shot Dead.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Appleton, Wis. Oct, ga mad cow
yesterday made wild run Of three
miles, manning victims and wrecking
property before she was finally brought
to a halt by bullet from the rifle Of
Henry Shart. The cow was charging
down Outagamie. street of this city in
its flight from the slaughter house, To-
Gated about three miles from here, when
it was killed.
Two men are injured, one seriously,
a horse is dead, and many fences are
broken down as a result of the sudden
insanity Of the cow, which was one of
a herd shipped in here last Saturday to
be butchered for local use. The priva-
ton of the long railway trip is thought
to have caused bossy's arrangement.
The animal escaped from the herd; was
chased and in the course of her mad
run hunted and paved William
Schwein almost to death, and then
knocked Frank Jacobs unconscious as
he attempted to rescue Schwein. She
then continued on her mad flight to this
city with foam dripping from her
mouth, until she was shot in its tracks.

I WIVES TORTURED
AS KING LOOKS ON
Ruler Of Anam Orders Slaughter
Of Women to Satisfy Homi-
,cidal Mania.

Paris, Oct. 5.-Thank Thai, king of
Anan, according to stories reaching
Paris from Indo-C China, has again been
guilty of such atrocities that the
French government may become com.
PEELED to adopt rigorous disciplinary
measures, as it did several years ago.
At that time, On account Of the Scan
dial caused by the barbarous torture of
the kings attendants, the French
gendarmerie entered the palace to save
the lives Of the attendants.
:, The latest report is that the king,
seized with a homicidal mania, ordered
seven Of his wives to be executed, and
looked on with delight while they were
slowly tortured to death. A few DAYS
later the king shot down prince, who
was 70 years old, a member Of the
council Of the royal family, highly es-
teemed. 80 -
When the French resident called to
demonstrate with Thank Thai, the lat
ter declined to permit him to enter the
palace. The king wanted to come to
Paris, as the king of Cambodia did, but
the French press declares that such a
fend shall never be allowed to visit
France.

Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-A terrific ex-
plosion of illuminating gas in the sub
way of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company, under construction at Sixth
and Market streets, today, resulted in
the death Of six men, the injuring of
about dozen others and caused prop

thousands Of dollars. .~-.
Besides the seven men that are
known to be dead, it is said that at
least three others are buried under tons
of earth in the wrecked subway. Ex-
traordinary efforts are being made to
clear the excavation, but it will be
late in the day before this can be ac-
complished.
The force Of the explosion wrecked
the subway for half block and all the
heavy timbering and structural work,
including tons Of earth, fell into the
excavation. -.
Horses Blown High.
Just as the gas blew up double
team dirt cart was being driven direct

fell into the hole. The driver landed
in the street and was only slightly
hurt.
Several of the workmen who were
standing near the derrick were blown
across The street and either killed or
injured, and number Of pedestrians
were hurt by falling glass and signs
from the tall business houses on both
sides Of Market and Sixth streets.
Flames Burst Forth.
The portions Of the subway that were
not covered with dirt burst into flames
and for time no person dared to ven

Their Parting; Due to tina Advance Of

In west Africa the belief in a new

by the fact that when baby arrives

small articles belonging to deceased

child catches hold Of Identifies him as
"Unclc John" or Cousin Emma" and
SO forth. So far as this belief prevails
1t Is held by tome that garments once
worn or other objects which have been
in intimate contact with a human be-
ing are penetrated by his personality
and remain. as it were, united with
him for good Or Ill.
In nearly oil stages at civilization

call supernatural beings were concern

It is strange in this connection to no
tice that the magician was only con-
demned when he departed from estab-
lished custom and established beliefs
which involved severance from the
community and an imputation of anti
social ends. Practices essentially mag
ical might be incorporated in religious
rites and exercised for what was be
lieved to be the general good. In such
a case they have continued to be e1-
