this summer. She was the FIRST wo-
man to spend night on the volcano
since the terrible eruption which
snuffed out 10000 lives in 1902
She accompanied her husband upon
trip Of scientific investigation and
insisted upon climbing the volcano
with him. The volcano has been
steadily decreasing in activity and is
now no longer feared. They pitched
camp at a height Of 1000 feet, $50 feet
from the edge OF the crater.
I'VE found IL unnecessary to build

planned. The crater supplied US with
heat equal to any gas range. cooked
without difficulty over vents in the
mountain side, from which issued
steam jets registering about 1000 de-

st. Pierre is still deserted ruin.
No one has ever attempted to live
there since the disaster. The natives
however, are returning to agriculture

where everything was flame and ash

ters Of Jacob Beihn, one Of .as wealth
lest residents of southern Wisconsin.
The girls are IL and IA years old re-
spectively, and have NOT been seen
since their parents left them sitting
in a hammock on the lawn at home
Monday night. Many people believe
that the girls were kidnapped and held
for ransom.
Mrs. Beihn, who is a stepmother OF
the missing girls, received a note sew
eral weeks ago warning her that a
plot was on foot to steal the girls
Members OF the household say that
Monday night a closed carriage was
driven up to the Beihn gate. II is
declared that a man was heard sharp
ly commanding the girls to enter and
that they obeyed him. The horses
were whipped up and the victims were
rapidly carried away.
After an unsuccessful search by the
relatives and local authorities Mr..
Beihn came to Kenosha last night and
engaged detectives to work on the
case. The mother OF the girls has
been dead for several years. Twelve
months ago their father married Mrs.
Anna Schenkenberg of Milwaukee.
The stepmother appears to have
been well liked by the children ana
NOT word Of dissatisfaction of the n
home life was ever uttered by them

CITY OF SPRINGFIELD.

Springfield, Ill, Aug 20.-The loo,
authorities began today the task Of
overcoming the handicap on their eff
forts to fix the responsibility for the
recent riots. caused by the failure Of
the coroners inquest TO hold anyone
responsible for the death of Scott Bur-
ton, a negro, lynched in the BLACK
Belt last Friday night.
The open verdict of the coroner's
jury was a blow to the states attorney
and other officials who saw in it the
confirmation of their suspicion that
the witnesses to the rioting would fail
to recognize the leaders of the mob
called upon to testify in the public
proceedings.
0f tha four witnesses upon whom
Coroner Woodruff had depended for
the success of his first riot inquest only
one appeared on the stand.
The witnesses displayed an unusual
ly poor memory when confronted with
incisive questions and the absence of
the other three made the coroner's task
futile.
This condition existed despite the ap-
peals OF the commercial organizations
and Governor Deneen that all law
loving citizens should volunteer their
testimony regarding the riot and its
leaders There was q general response
TO these appeals so far as the secret
grand jury proceedings were concerned,
but few persons seem willing to Fisly
the enmlty Of the lawless element of
the community by appearing IN open
as defenders Of the strict letter OF the
law.
