HOW TO RESTORE
A DROWNING MAN.

Here is simple and effective way to
restore drowning man.
The man should be stood on his head iu
order that all the water possible be rot
ten from his lungs. The old method of
rolling him on barrel is not bad one
for the same purpose.
Then an effort should be made to in
duce artificial respiration. To this end
put the person fat on his back and LET
some one catch hold of his arms just be-
low the elbow.
Then raise the arms above the head
and bring them down.
AS they reach the body, press in on the
ribs to force out the air gained by lift
ing the arms.
Keep ttAs up at the rate of IS times a
minute.
Then try to get the heart to moving by
giving a stimulant like liquor or hypo-
dermic injection.
Sometimes a slight futtering of the
heart is sufficient to get back life.
Get physician as soon as possible.

men who are familiar with aeronautics.

Chicago Structure Damaged-ExpIo-
sion Laid to Labor Troubles.
The new Illinois Central railroad
bridge over the Calumet river at 1881
street. Chicago, was partly wrecked by an
explosion of dynamite at a. m. the other
day. The bridge was almost completed,
but was not yet in service. Lieut.. Moore
of the East Side station started to work
on the theory that labor troubles were
responsible for the explosion. He was
told by employees that fifty non-union men
had worked recently on the bridge. The
defamation was caused either by a bomb
or stick of dynamite to which time
fuse had been attached. The explosion
wrecked portion of the south end of the
structure and threw three men who were
sleeping in a shanty nearby from the
beds. The men were employed as watch
men by the American Bridge Company
in charge Of the construction work Pc
liceman Stanier reported that he had
seen three suspicious looking men loiter-
ing about the bridge the night before and
had threatened TO arrest them. They
hurried away. Damage to the structure
will not amount to more than $500.

and thirty persons were rescued by means

ladders and, crazed with fear, leaped to
the street below. The police declared the
fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin,

BARE PLOT TO ROB BIG STORES.



Man said to Have Taken $780, 900.
An alleged conspiracy of employees of
mercantile establishments to rob their
employers and which it is said has al
ready rested in the theft of ever S5O,-
OC0 worth of goods from half dozen
firms in Pittsburg, has been nnearthed
and four arrests have been made, while
others are expected TO follow. K. b.
Jenkins, William Lindsay and two other
men whose names have not been given
out, are under arrest, while sufficient
confessions are said TO have been made to
warrant other arrests. Each of the men
so far arrested was for at least six years
a trusted employee of his firm and each
works for different concern. mys-
ferious man, whose identity has not been
learned, is said to have been the head of
the conspiracy to rob. Each day he
would drive by the back doors of the
stores where his confederates were en-
ployed and the goods they took were load
ed into his covered wagon and hauled
away. The men declare they do not know
the mysterious mans name and could not
identify him, as he never appeared twice
IN the same makeup. They say part of
he time he wore a beard, sometimes was
smooth shaven and once was disguised
as negro.

Trade, crop and industrial develop
ments of the week are mainly favorable.
The first of the fall merchants excursions

larging sales by jobbers and wholesalers.
Industrial reports are generally of in
creased time run or enlarged output, and
the leading crops have approached week
nearer harvest. There are, however, some
features accompanying these developments
deserving of note. There are statements
from quite a few markets that early fall
buying is hardly up to expectations and
that caution aud conservatism govern buy
ers' actions.
In the industries there is perceptibly
more doing in iron aud STEEL hardware
manufacturing, western coal mining and
the lumber trade generally.

FATHER KILLS SON IN FIGHT.
Louis SEASIDE, 65, Cuts Throat of
Antoine, IS, with Razor.

In a struggle in which a razor and
Ratchet were welded, Louis Scassle, 90
years old, killed his son Antoine, 35 years
old, in Chicago. The mother of the vic
tim was the sole witness of the encoun-
ter, which is said to have been an out
growth of a dispute which arose at an
Italian celebration three weeks before.
Shortly before midnight the son went to
the Scasse home in Larrabee street and
bitter words followed between the two
men. The son is said to have drawn
razor and attempted TO carve the old
man, but the latter wrested the weapon
away from him. The son then seized a
Ratchet and rushed at his father, and in
the struggle Scasse, ST., cut the young
mans throat. Neighbors who heard the
men scuffiing notified the police, who
FASTENED to the place and started to take
the wounded man to the Alexian Brothers
hospital, but on the way he died. The
father was later arrested The police say
he admits having killed his son, but claims
he was defending himself and that the
stabbing was accidental.

it, a fiery mass, in southeasterly 6rec-
