HER HUSBANDS BODY.
California Woman Claims Students
Are Dissecting Cadaver.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Considerable ex-
element was caused in the medical
laboratories of the University of Chi
cago yesterday by the sudden discov-
cry that one of the cadavers upon
which four students had been dissect-
ing since October 1 was claimed by
woman in California as the body of
her long lost husband. The woman is
said to be on her way to take posses
sion of the corpse
Five, months ago the man, who was
about fifty years old, died a pauper at
the county hospital, leaving neither
clew to his own identity nor to his
relatives. After the body had been
held for twenty days-a customary
time-it passed into the possession of
the University of Chicago, as do many
others from the county hospital, un-
claimed by kin.
After keeping the body in storage
80 days, as the law requires, it was
placed upon the dissecting table.
1--WE were notified by the Demon
strators association, which furnished
US the specimen, that the body had
been claimed by relative" said Prof.
r.. r. BensIey, head of the anatomy
department. 80 we took 1t out of the
dissecting room and placed it in stor-
age to await the claimants.
ct know nothing of the history of
the incident except that the woman
lives in California and that she held
some insurance on the man."

HORRIBLY MUTILATED
Were the Bodies of Several Fflipinos
Killed by a Band of Moros.

Manila, Oct. 24.-In a desperate
fight, prolonged for hours. which oc-
Cured yesterday near Iligan, island of
Mindanao. nine Filipino laborers and
their superintendent, also a native,
were killed by the marauders and
four other natives were wounded.
Whether or not the attacking Moros
suffered any loss can not now be
ascertained.
The fight took place upon the Shop
herd plantation. The Moro band, fol-
lowing the tactics usually employed
by outlaws, attempted surprise,
which was so far successful that sew
eral men were killed in the first rush.
The Filipinos then rallied and after a
bloody hand-to-hand struggle, drove
the Moros to shelter, after which the
battle was continued for several hours
at long range.
The bodies of the dead Filipinos
were mutilated in a horrible manner.
Before being driven off the Moros sue
ceeded in firing the plantation and
stores, which, with their contents,
were destroyed.

AT THE NOVELTY THEATER.
Excellent Bill Is Promised for Next
Week.

1t would be difficult to get together
in one programme a more varied and
entertaining bill than that offered at
the Novelty theater for next week be-
ginning with Mondays matinee. A
glance over the programme, as an
nounced, shows an array of high class
vaudeville attractions that look par
ticularly promising for the entertain
ment of the patrons of that playhouse
the coming week. Rossiter's novelty
dancing four is one of the principal
features of the bill and this act is de-
clared to be one of the biggest at
fractions OF its kind now on the vaude-
vile stage. In all the large cities
OF the country where these dancers
have appeared they have demonstrated
their ability to be classed as headliners
at the best vaudeville houses and their
engagement as the Novelty is regard
ed by the management as especially
fortunate.
The Rialto comedy quartet is an
other of the high priced attractions
that has been secured for next week.
Ihis quartette is claimed to be one of
the best singing organizations in the
country, while their comedy Is refined
