POLICE FORCE SHAKEN UP
Chicago's Mayor Intends to Renovate
the Tenderloin.

Chicago, May 21.-Mayor Busse, in
an attempt to "renovate" the Tender
loin" district of Chicago, has made
the most sweeping change ever made
In the local police department. He
transferred the entire police force in
the district from captain down, en-
bracing 240 men, to other parts of
the city and appointed other men. 1t
had been charged that the police in
the district had countenanced viola
tons of the law in the district.
The move was hailed by acclaim
among reformers, but the mayor non
plussed other reforniers by fiatfoot-
ed statement that, considering Chi
cago's large foreign population, he
would not attempt to enforce the Sun
day saloon closing law unless forced
to do so by the courts.

Lloyd Jones, M. ID.
OCCULIST AND NEUROLOGIST,
Webster, s. ID.

DR.. Jones has given % years to
the study and practice of his pro-
fession and has to his credit record
OF cures that is remarkable. He is
graduate OF the University OF Lon
don and the Royal College of Oph-
Technology. For 10 years he was
professor of refractions in the Uni
versity of the City of New York and
served as an oculist in the u. S.
army during the war with Spain.
During practice of Il years in
London and New York he has
treated over 100000 cases without
making one complete failure His
thorough training and long practice
makes it easy for him to succeed
where others fail. He now confines
his practice to the correction of
errors of vision.
The examination will be FREE
until June LIST. After that the price
will be $500 or $1,000, according to
the case. People who have been
humbugged by spectacle peddlers
from the Twin Cities and other
places calling themselves by high
sounding but meaningless names of
"eye specialists" Opticians etc,
are invited to call and have their
eyes examined by one who has skill
enough to examine them intelli.
gently and integrity enough to tell
the truth.
Many OF the states have laws
regulating the practice OF optometry.
Minnesota has. That is why so
many fakirs from that state are
operating in South Dakota. The
eye is one of the most delicate of
the organs OF the human body and
is too precious TO be turned over to
the mercy of spectacle peddlers.
People having trouble with their
eyes are invited to call.

BURNED IN M|DLAKE
Steamer Naomi Destroyed by Fire

BARE HULK ALONE SAVED
Five Persons Perish in Flames, More

Escaping Death.
BARE HULK ALONE SAVED

Grand Rapids, Mich, May 21.-Four
coal passers were burned to death
and one passenger, j. M. Rhoades OF
Detroit, was fatally burned when the
Crosby line steamer Naomi, formerly
the Wisconsin, was burned to the wa
ter's edge early in the day in the
middle of Lake Michigan. Fifty pas
sengers and all of the crew except the
four coal passers We're taken OF in
small boats by the steamer Kerr
and the Naomi's sister ship, the Kan
sas, which was en- route from Milwau-
kee to Grand Haven. The loss on the
Naomi is estimated at $225,d0O. After
the passengers and crew were rescued.
barge which had been attracted TO
the scene by the fire put a line on
the burning hulk and is now towing
her into port.
The fire started in the vicinity Of
the kitchen, between decks, and
spread so rapidly that the whole ship
was a seething furnace before the
crew could get the fire apparatus
working.
Escape of Passengers Miraculous.
The flames swept the whole
length of the ship and the upper works.
burned like finder. 1t Is considered
miraculous that the passengers all
escaped. Many Of them were taken
off in their night clothes, while scarce
ly any one was more than partially
clad.
The fire was not discovered by any
of the Naomi's crew, but was first
seen by the lookout ON the steamer
Kansas, which was proceeding in the
opposite direction from Milwaukee to
Grand Haven. The Kansas made di-
rectly for the Naomi and in the mean
time the passengers of the i'll fated
boat were being awakened.
Captain Thomas Trail was the last
man to leave the steamer alive and
his clothing was almost burned off
from his body.
The four coal passers who persisted
were below in their hunks and are
believed to have been penned down
there by the flames. They are be-
lieved to have shipped from Milwau-
kee. 1t is said by the passengers that
the screams OF the dying men In the
hold were heard, but that it was inn
possible to reach them.

a high power automobile running be-

harmlessly over the heads of the oc-
