Chicago, July 3.-Chicago's cele6ra ten tomorrow promises to be of the "sane" variety, city officials being de- termneG to keep the death list as low as possible. Strict orders have been isuued to the police by Mayor Russ ! commanding a strict enforcement of the city ordinances prohibiting the sale Of cannon crackers, toy pistols and metal caps All persons dischars- ing cannons, guns, revolvers or toy canes, or placing dynamite caps on street car tracks, will be placed un- der arrest and subjected to heavy fines, ranging from $25 to $100 and costs. The health department has is sued a bulletin advising methods of first aid to the injured in typical acci- dents of the day. Chief Shippy de clares that the anti-nOise ordinances will be carried out to the letter and as a result the jails of the city will probably be overcrowded with noisy patriots by tomorrow night.

ENiMtEs AND FINISH THEM UP
Says, Don't You Speak To Me- TO
Cocke-Senator Admits Owing John
w. Gates Money-WiiI Pay When
He Sells Some Hcrses.

Austin, Tex, Feb %. United
States Senator J. w Bailey occupied
the stand during the en;ire day in
the Bailey investigating committee of
the Texas legislature Thursday.
He continued to deny all the
charges against him, and when Pros
ecutor Cooke Interrupted him to object
to a question, Senator Bailey turned
his back and said:
Don't you speak to me. You
address the chairman.
The senator denied that he had used
underhand means to coerce the legis-
lators to vote for him. Al another
time he said that he deserved great
praise for not taking a shotgun and
going out and shooting his ponucal
enemies. He said he ould cheerful
ly resign his seat in the senate if he
could so arrange it that he could meel
all his enemies at one time and fin
ish them then and there.
Senator Bailey admitted that he had
accepted fee of 50 500 from a Mr..
Elliotte, of the Standard Oil compa-
ny, for rendering a written opinion to
"the effect that the Standard Oil com
pany would not be permitted to re-
enter Texas.
Senator Bailey's attorneys refused
to permit Representative Cooke to
cross examine the witness, and the
executive committee upheld the con-
tentions Of the senator's lawyers.
Several members of the committee
propose to insist that an effort be
made to secure the evidence of H.
Clay Pierce before the inquiry closes.
This proposition is expected to pre-
otpitate a contest as the friends Of
Senator Bailey on the committee are
opposed, it is claimed, to prolonging
the inquiry
Senator Bailey asserted that his fee
from the Security Oil company was
no secret, although he saw no rea-
son why he should or should net have
told it. "If the concern is a part of
the Standard Oil trust" he said, "it
goes to show that this trust is fight
ing me"
Charges twenty four and twenty
five, relating to alleged large finan-
cial transactions with John W. Gates,
were read. Bailey said he had bor-
rowed $2S, 100 from Gates and had
paid back SIS 900 He said he bor-
rowed the SIS, 900 from the Ameri-
can Exchange National bank Of Dali
las. 'I am to pay the rest of the
money when l sell some horses Gates
and l own" he said.

A Woman's Back

Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other diSplace-
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other symp-
toms of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or
dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw-
ing sensation in stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs, faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there Is no remedy
that will give quicker relief or more per-
maDent cure than DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It has record of over forty
years of cures, 1t is the most potent
fnvigorating tonic and strengthening ner-
vine known to medical science. It is mado
of the glyceric extracts of native medici-
nal roots found in our forests and con-
tains not drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-forming drugs. Its ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering into va
vorite Prescription has the written en-
dorsement of the most eminent medical
writer's of all the several schools of prac-
tice-more valuable than any amount Of
non-profeSsional tfmonialS-though the
latter are not lacking, having been con-
tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
inanumbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for
the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot affe-d to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as substitute
for this well proven remedy OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make little more profit thereby. Your
interest in regaining health is paramount
to any selfish interest of his and it is an
insult to your intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you substitute You
know what you want and it is his busi-
ness TO supply the article called for.

sLAckMAn- CAUSE OF KILLING
So Her Husband DecIares-Mrs. Nc
Donald Was Locked in the Clffice
with Guerin When She Shot Him to
Death.

OGdLns
Chicago, Feb. 22.-Webster H.
Guerin, alias Fisher, of G55 West
Harrison street, and proprietor of the
Harrison Art company, was shot and
killed in his Office in the Omaha build
ing at LaSalle and Van Buren, streets
by Mrs Flora Mcdonald, wife OF
Michael c. Mcdonald, a millionaire,
who was for many years the demo-
ratio political boss Of Chicago.
The motive for the killing is not ex-
actly known Mrs. Mcdonald became
hysterical Immediately after the
shooting, and was unable to make a
connected statement. From what she
said, however, 1t is believed that for
some time Guerin had obtained
money from her by the threat of
making disclosures to her husband
unless paid for keeping silent.
Shortly before noon Mrs. McDon-
aid entered Guerins office, and the
latter. as econ as she entered, direct
ed his Office boy, Herman Hanson, to
leave and return later. A quarrel
between Mrs Mcdonald and Guerin
had already commenced when The boy
left the Office Within fifteen min
utes after the departure Of Hanson a
report Of a revolver was heard, and
when other occupants of the building
rushed to the door of Guerins office
they found it locked, with Mrs Nc
Donald endeavoring % escape through
a hole she had made with the burt of
her revolver in the glass which form
ed the upper half CT the door. Her
face was covered with blood which
streamed from q number of small cuts
inflicted by the glass.
Lorenzo Dasi, wAo occupied an ad-
Joining office to Cuerins, was the
frs, to reach the door, and with the
help CT others he pulled Mrs. Nc
Donald through the door and took the
revolver from her.
Mrs. Mcdonald refused to give her
name or to state what had occurred
In GUaTfn's Office.
In the lower part Of the building
when the shooting occurred were two
police officers on their way to Guerin S
Office to Investigate his business, con-
cerning which complaints had been
made to tAe police 1t was claim
ed by several people that Guerin had
been demanding exorbitant sums of
money for making enlargements of
Photographs and threatening legal
proceedings if the amount was not
Immediately forthcoming. These Of
ficers placed Mrs Mcdonald under
arrest.
Inside the office the furniture was
thrown around as though a struggle
had taken place, and Guerin was ly-
ing dead on the floor, with a bullet
wound back of one ear.
Mrs. Mcdonald, still unidentified
was taken to Harrison street station
and her identity was not made known
until her uncle, B. NJ. Schaffner, en-
tered the station.
