CIGARET CRUELTY
CAUSES A DIVORCE

Chicago. Oct. 6.-The married life Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lindstey Ter Bush OF
two years duration, was characterized
chiefly by cruelty and cigarets on tho
part of the husband, according to Mrs.

last evening.
Ter Bush is manager of the city

They began their married life in a
luxuriously furnished apartment at

until recently. During the Christmas

CHALLENGE KOCH's
TUBERCLE THEORIES

Washington, Oct. 6.-The theory of DR..
Robert Koch, the eminent German scien-
fist, that the tubercle hacilli of bovine
tuberculosis are different from those of
human tuberculosis was challenged by the
solid array of American Veterinarian dele
gates before the Internationa Congress
of tuberculosis. They joined hands with
Prof. S. Arloing, of France, and Others in
asserting the fallacy of the opinions OF
the discoverer of the germ of tuberculosis.
The discussion did not by any means close
the controversy, and doubtless it will be
waged Indefinitely with the scene shifting
from the platform to the medical publ
cations OF the world.
1t is known that the opposition to DIR.
hoch's theory, led by DIR. Arloing, had
hoped for a settlement of the mooted
question at this congress, and this end
had practically been reached had not the
German scientist dashed their hopes by
unexpectedly declaring his position anew.
So far DIR. Koch seems to nave few sup
porters, and that those who do upp
him are not very aggressive. Though the
most pronounced of Koch's opponents are
foreigners, there are among American
delegates many besides the veterinarians
wfo antagonize his views.

thought long before deciding upon a

placed this in a box of popcorn behind

The thief gained entrance to the place
by forcing a rear. window with a ..jim-

store. He stumbled over the box OF
popcorn, ~overturning it, disclosing the

containing the money.
The glare of the street lamp illumtn-

LONDON DISPATCH EXPLAINS
CAUSES OF WAR CLOUDS

London, Oct. 7.-llvents which threat
en- to change the political map of liu-
rops are crystallizing with lightning
rapidity.
Two different strokes which cannot
fail to bring matters to a crisis and
| perhaps force an immediate war. one
is the proclamation by Prince Ferdi-
| nand of the independence of Bulgaria,
which will include Rumelia, taking for
himself the title of car"
The other Is an ent of
Austria-Hungary of the practical an
neXation of the provinces of Bosnia
and 1lergzegovnia as a~ppendagcs OF
the Austro-Iiungarian crown
Either action Is equivalent to the
tearing up of the treaty of Berlin, while
Prince F~erdinand's course seems al
most certain to precipitate a war be-
tween Bulgaria and Turkey.
Bulgaria is said to be buying up am
munitlon and horses on an extensive
scale
The Bulgarians have faith in their
army, which has reached u high state
of efficiency. although it is perhaps
lacking In officers and the war for
which Bulgaria has long been suspected
of preparing could be fought with most
advantage for her now than when the
Turkish government has had time to
rcorganiZe its forces. which have be-
come enervated by the corruption and
neglect of tho old regime.
The emperor Of Austria, it Is under
stood, has dispatched a letter to the
president of France. setting forth his
Intentions regarding Bosnia and Herze-
govnia, although the contents Of the
letter are kept secret, and he is send
ing similar notes to the other. overs.
1t seems incredible That Emperor
Franc Joseph. who always has been
a s%crupulous observer of forms should
revea his plans to the rulers of other
nations before hc has communicated
them TO his own parliament. One ex-
plapation Is that the letter was not in
tended for delivery until Tuesday, when
Identical notes would be presented to
the othe~ powers.
the two provinces may not technically
be called annexation. it Is believed that
1t will amount to that, whatever it may
be called. Apparently the emperor is
determined that the destiny OF these
provinces shall be Austrian. not Turk
isf. For SO years they have been adj
ministered by Austria-Hungary, hut
they have always remained theoretic-
ally Turkish territory and Austria
pledged thai her administration should
not derogate Turkish rights.
English public opinion Is with Tur-
key In the Bulgarian dispute. as all
the powers except Austria seem to be.
n 1T remains to be seen what the
English altitude will be toward nnneSa.
II that becomes a fact.
