GO FORGED DEEDS AND NOTES
FOR YEARS.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Peter Van Wis
singer, a real estate dealer, for sew.
eral years classed amonS the first OF
Chicago's prosperous and reputable
business men, yesterday confessed to
having obtained, through forged deeds
and notes, more than 100000, and a
few hours after his arrest, on his own
urgent appeal to be punished, was
sentenced to the penitentiary The
arrest, the Indictment, the confession
and the sentence were the work of
less than four hours
Taken in the midst of business from
an office desk shortly after the noon
hour, Van Vlissingen, a venerable look
ing man, appeared before the court in
tears, confessed that for from eighteen
to twenty years he had been securing
money through the sale of forged doc
uments, and that though he had
bought back many of these spurious
instruments without detection. at least
twenty-five people would lose an ag-
gregate of more than 100000 through
the paper which he has not yet re-
deemed. Throughout his arrest and
sentence, the prisoner made no effort
to defend himself, but only asked that
his punishment be speedy.
Els term in the penitentiary was
fixed as fourteen years.
Van Vlissingen, who is about forty
five years old, was married February
4, 1907, to Mrs Jessie Roosevelt
Blend, who was described at the time
as a distant relative of President
Roosevelt. The bride was a daughter
of Wilton c.. Roosevelt. She had been
divorced from a dentist named Blend
Van Vlissingen had been a bachelor,
living at the Calumet Club.

TWENTY MEN KILLED.
GAS EXPLOSION IN EXCAVATION
FOR SEWER IN BROOKLYN KILL
ED 20 AND WRECKED go HOUSES

New York, Nov. 21-More than
twenty persons are believed to have
lost their lives as the result of the
explosion of gas main at Gold and
Front streets, Brooklyn, yesterday.
Practically the whole street from
the stoop line between Gold and Front
streets was tumbled into fifty foot
excavation in which fifteen or more
men were working, and several per-
sons who were walking along the
street are believed to have been car
ried down.
1t is believed that every person who
went into the excavation was killed
instantly or smothered or drowned.
Fifty tenement houses on the block
are in such danger of falling into the
trench that the occupants have been
ordered out bp the police
The workmen were digging a trench
through Gold street for the installa-
tion of a thirty-six-inch sewer pipe.
The excavation was to be nearly forty
feet deep and as the laborers re-
moved the earth the walls had been
shored UP by large timbers.
With Charles Schiffmeyer, city in
spector of sewers, overseeing the
work this forenoon, the men were
working at the bottom of the trench
when an accumulation of gas from q
main which had been accidentally
broken during the course of the work,
exploded with tremendous force.

Gompers Labor Leader Handsomely
Rem mbered.

Denver, Col, Nov. 21-There has
at no time since the opening of the
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Labor been any doubt that
President Gompers was not in com
plete control, but it was thought pos
sible that part of his report might
be materially amended or his political
course condemned. The report was
before the convention for a day and
half, and although for a while there
was a vigorous discussion of some of
its contents, the report was adopted
yesterday afternoon and Mr.. Gompers
thereby fully indorsed.
At this point Delegate T. L. Lewis,
of the miners, interrupted the pro-
ceedings and in an eloquent speech
presented on behalf of the convention,
to President Gompers, a handsome
silver loving cup and to Mrs Gompers
a handsome diamond ring. Mr.. Comp
ers was overcome by the good will
of the delegates, coming as it did
at the end of a hard fight, and could
scarcely control his feelings as he
thanked the convention.

Result of Fortune teIIino.

Albany, Ga. Nov 17.-Ernest Cum
ningham, prominent yourg man of
Arlington, committed suicide Sunday
night by shooting himself through the
head
He had attended church with Miss
Pearl Bostwick, and had returned
home with her after services, and in
company with young man who had
accompanied another young lady from
the same home to church, was pre-
pairing to leave when he borrowed
from his companion a pistol, and be-
fore any one knew his intentions, had
blown his brains out, the bullet going
entirely through his head and strik-
ing the wall by his side.
No cause is known why young Gun
ningham should have committed sui
eide. He was in the best of health,
and had been in good spirits all day.
1t seems that in the afternoon he went
to a gypsy camp, which is near town.
and had his fortune told, and the gyp-
sizes told him things that made him
blue, and seemed to prey on his mind.
This is the only cause so far advanced
that would have made him think Of
suicide.

w. j. BRYAN and Wife in Texas.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov 1S.-Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan were in San Antonio
yesterday en- route to Mexico. They
were accorded a hearty welcome.
Regarding the future of the demo
cratic party, he said:
Il am not at all discouraged as to
the future of the democratic party.
There must be a democratic party in
every country, and | want our party
to be democratic, and / believe no
doubt that the country will see the
necessity for the adoption of reforms
advocated by the democratic party. 1t
is already great educational force,
and l have no doubt that conditions
will so vindicate the party as to make
the voters turn to it as the best in
strument for the accomplishment of
the necessary reforms"
"Will you allow yourself to be elect
ed a United States senator from Ne
braska?" he was asked.
"They do not elect a senator this
year." he said, with a smile.
"My friends do not require me to
prejudice the future, and l shall not
take the advice of my opponents on
this subject l shall continue to write
and speak in defense of the things
which l believe to be good for the
American people. l hope that it may
never become necessary to run for an
Office again, but l will not attempt to
decide that question until the time
comes to act. | do not see any neces-
sity to say more on the subject"

CARE OF THE foAL.
Wean Slowly, Feed Literally and Han

Wean Slowly, Feed Literally and Han
die the Animal Before Weaning.
The most suitable way to vean a
foal is to begin to keep him from his
dam two or three hours daily, inereas-
ing the time till they are together from
about 8 p. m. to about 6 a. m.. finally
parting them some morning or some
evening.
A daily feed of crushed oats mingled
with a little chopped hay and bran
given to the foal week or two before
weaning will soon teach him to be in
dependent of the mother, but care must
be taken not to allow the mare to have
access to the manger while the foal is
eating. She would probably eat it her
self
Before the foal is weaned it is i'm
portant that it should have been han
died. To get foal haltered. taught to
be led about and to be able to handle
it, lift its feet up. etc. without its Of
fering any resistance is a work that
involves a certain amount of time but
the time spent now is time saved when
the foal is old enough to be broken in.
If the foal meets with an accident or
falls victim to some of the numerous
ailments to which horsefesh is liable,
a foal which has been handled is far
easier to doctor than one which has
never been touched
After mare and foal have been final
ly separated the foal may be kept in a
loose box, out of the hearing of other
horses if possible, for two or three
days, and it may then be turned out in
the daytime and fetched up at night.
A foaps future depends a great deal
on how it is treated during the first
winter of it's existence; therefore to do
full justice it is essential that it should
lie literally but not lavishly fed from
weaving time till the time arrives the
following spring to turn away into
some luxuriant pasture for the sum-
mer.
To keep a fOal on short commons
with the idea of reducing the cost of
the keep is, according to the old say
ing, cent wise and dollar foolish.
Foals invariably do best when they
have company, and if two or three
foals can live together SO much the bet
ter. Before they are turned out in the
morning they may have feed of
crushed oats, chopped hay and bran.
The same ration may be given when
they are brought in again at night,
with the addition of an armful of
whole hay.
An occasional linseed mash may
also he given. as it is beneficial in
keeping the bowels open.
Two or three pieces of rock salt in
the manger for them to lick is also a
good thing.
After the mare has left the foal steps
must he taken to suppress the secre-
ton of milk, and with that object in
view dry food and plenty of exercise
may be given.
A small quantity of milk may be
drawn away daily, and rubbing the
udder with molasses has also been
found beneficial.
A dose of physic will also hasten the
process. but it should be withheld if
possible, especially if the mare is in
foal.-W. R. Gilbert.

SHIPS CRASH N. Y. BAY.
500 PERSONS FACE DEATH BUT
PROMPT ACTION OF STEAMER
CAPTAIN PREVENTED LOSS OF
lee

New York, Nov. 23-The lives of
more than five hundred persons were
lmperiled yesterday when the fruit
steamer Admiral Dewey, crashed into
the steamer Mount Desert, outward
bound from Bay Ridge for the fishing
banks. The Admiral Dewey, coming
suddenly out of fog bank, struck the
Mount Desert almost amidships, open
ing a cash in the fishing vessel that
extended from the upper deck to the
waters edge,
There were $50 passengers, includ-
ing twenty women and six children,
on the Mount Desert, and the Admiral
Dewey carried forty-fve passengers.
In addition, the crews of the two
steamers.
Panic Immediately followed, and it
was due to the prompt action of Cap
tain Davidson, of the Admiral Dewey,
that a catastrophe was averted for
the passengers on the fishing steamer
began piling over the guard rail of
that vessel, and leaped for the deck
of the Admiral Dewey. Had he back
ed his steamer away, many would have
fallen into the water. Captain David
son kept the steamer moving slowly
ahead, and this held the PROV of the
fruit steamer into the rent that had
been made, and afforded a boarding
place for the frightened passengers of
the Mount Desert
Il was believed the Mount Desert
would sink, and the passengers fought
Hrantically TO get to the deck of the
Admiral Dewey A number of per
sons were slightly injured in the stam-
rede. Men and women crowded over
the guard rails onto the Admiral Dew
ey so rapidly that they trampled upon
each other.
In the space of fifteen minutes. full
ly $50 passengers of the Mount Desert
sprang to the deck of the Admiral
Dewey.
Nearly all the passengers of the
Mount Desert had teen transferred and
the panic had subsidized, so Captain
Davidson signaled to have the en-
gine stopped, and a few minutes later
the boats drifted apart.
Later the Mount Desert steamed To
South Brooklyn, where she docked to
permit the rest of her passengers to
go ashore. Meantime the Admiral
Dewey had been taken up the river to
her pier, where her own and the pas
sengers from the Mount Desert were
landed.

An Object Lesson.

One of the best examples of sue
cessful modern dairying and one of
the most instructive is the experience
of Charles Foss of Illinois. He in
creased the income of his ninety acre
farm from $1,000 to we'll over $4,000
and believes that he can double the
income again along the same lines.
The best of 1t is that his methods
would seem to apply in almost any
dairy section. Probably his own ex-
PLANTATION of his success is the best.
He says. This improvement has
come about by weighing and testing
the milk. by selling the low producers,
buying and raising better COWS, using
the silo and feeding a more nearly
balanced ration, and by studying and
supplying the individual needs of the
cow"
