A TIMELY WARNING.

Lively lCduCI, perhaps, Can Call tC
mind the remembrance of some terri
bic accident in which a human being
was crushed to death or killed out
right by being caught under the
wheels of a moving locomotive.
I his fact is an incentive for us to
remind all citizens, and especially the
young men and boys, against the
fooihardineSs of attempting to cross
the track in front of train or en-
deavorlng to mount car while the
same is in motion
AT the railway station last Thursday
when the train carrying the officials
entered the city number of young
boys and girls were seen to dart across
the track when the oncoming loco
motive was only short distance away.
Two young girls, particularly, daringIy
continued to fit back and forth over
the steel rails when the space between
them and the train was less than fifty
yards They were innocently en-
joylng this new sensation, but how
many hearts would have sorrowed in
anguish had either fallen under the
massive wheels What a gloom of
sadness would have settled over the
city should the occasion of the first
trains entrance been marked by the
instant death of one of those girls
What lesson it would have been to
the reckless, daredevil youth of to-
day! True, it did not happen and
the world goes on unthinking. But
those sad words, lit might have
been, entitle the instance to hear
ing. Let the lesson be learned from
what might have happened. Fathers
and mothers, begin this week and
know that your child is not playing
along the railroad track. The sight
of the big engine and cars is new and
entlcing to the children; the clang of
the bell and the ShriekS of the whistle
awaken in the child'S breast the same
feeling as is aroused in yours, only
in more childish spirit The trains
impress them, for there they find
excitement and sensations unusual.
Fathers and mothers, caution them
OF the danger resultant from child
hood prankS in the railway yards 1t
is natural that they should desire to
see the cars and the best and the
safest way is to 90 along with them.
AXE little time now and then and
let the children accompany you and
witness the railroad works. Mind
this precaution now. Don't wait
until some one else's boy or girl has
met fearfully tragic death.
To the young men and boys the
warning can be contained in these
words: Don't "steaP' rides. for
the principle and sometimes the re-
suit is disappointing. Never try to
mount moving car, no matter how
easy it looks nor how often the rail-
road men do it. You might succeed
a hundred times and your chums
might envy you for your proficiency,
but one false step, one instance of
rnisjudgment and an arm or leg, or
perhaps your life, is gone.
The younger boys and girls are
often careless from pure dare-deyiltry.
Such expressions as 81 dare you to

In Female Hand Enclosing Two

Which He Took and Died.

Which He Took and Died.
San Francisco, Dec. 4.-The most
amazing poison mystery which has
confronted the police since the fa-
nous Botkin poisoned candy episode
is. now battling them in the attempts
to solve the puzzle of who admin
istered a death dealing poison to
Henry Boas, member Of the veal
thy New York family of that name.
who is dead at his home here.
The only clew upon which the
police are now pursuing their inves-
tigation is contained in letter writ
ten in dainty hand and containing
two powders which the recipient OF
the message is urged to take to cure
his Indigestion. Death followed in
two hours accompanied by the most
violent pain. The following is a
copy of the letter:
Mr.. Boas:
Dear Sir: Having been requested
by some friends of your as we'll as
of mine in San Jose to send you M
recipe for stomach trouble, l take
pleasure in so doing. The two
powders which l enclose to you are
not only relief, but cure for that
ailment. 1t is composed mostly of
pepsin, which / suppose you are
aware is the greatest Of all remor-
ers Of albumen from the food which
gathers in the alimentary canal
leading to the stomach.
'If you will take the two powders
mixed together and follow by a glass
of whiskey, before retiring I can as.
sure you Of cure.
(Signed) Charles McHaur
San Jose, CAL"
The police are convinced that the
death was carefully planned and
they can trace many features similar
to that in the famous unraveled
poison mystery in the case of DR.
Wilson in Philadelphia last summer
Six weeks ago Boas broke off his
engagement to Miss Anna Gallagher,
Of San Jose, to whom he was engag-
ed to be married.
Coroner's physicians will make all
examination of the stomach to de-
termine the nature of the poison
which was administered. Boas died
in frightful agony. He had gone 20
bed after swallowing the fatal
draught and writhed in pain until
relieved by death. II

WAR I'm HAYTI
THE PRESIDENT FLEEs TO A
FRENCH SHIP.
Loyal Citizens and Soldiers Dis
perse Angry Mobs Who Pillaged
Stores and Residences.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The revo-
luton is on in Hayti, and the In
surgenLs are about masters Of the
situation. Port au Prince is in the
hands of the revolurionists now, but
beforesthe city fell there was great
trouble and strife. The troops
Friday morning fired into mob,
that began to loot stores and DIVER
ings fust as soon as 1t was known
that President Alexis had fed from
the city. Twelve men were killed.
The trouble began shortly after
the president had been escorted to
the French cruiser BY the French
minister.
The people from the Belair and
the salines sections of the city in
vaded the business quarter and be-
gan pillage. They divided into
! bands and worked their way down
one street and up another.
BY 10 o'clock eleven stores were
looted, nine belonging to Syrlans
while Haitiens owned the other two
stores. Their proprietors stood by
helpless.
The loot was hauled into the
street, where its division resulted IN
fights among the mob. in which four
were killed.
It is feared that the disorder
would spread over the entire city
but General Poidevin saved the Sit
nation. He armed body of cltl-
zens and small detachment OF
loyal troops and with them fired
on the looters.
The general then got together a
number Of courageous citizens ana
rounded up also small detachment
of loyal soldiers, and marched on the
looters.
The Pillagsrs were unaware of his
approach and their first intimatlon
that they were to meet any opposi-
tion came to them in the shape OF Il
volley from General Poidevin's band.
Eight of the looters fell at the first
! fire.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
While this was going on IN the
business district, another mob was
looting the rich residence section OF
the city.
This success seemed to satisfy the
crowd in the suburbs, for they then
dispersed without committing any
further depredations.
At II o'clock seminary OF priests
was surrounded by the menacins
crowd demanding that General Col
con be turned over to them. The
priests reply was that the general
was not there. Word reached Cen
eral Poidevin of the threatening sit
uation at seminary and he hurried
forward at the head of his detach-
ment of citizens and soldiers and
on his arrival the crowd dispersed.
At midnight the ETY. was compaSa-
lively quiet.

a WRECKED LIFE
A BEAUTIFUL AND WEALTHY
GIRL JUST DIVORCED
Who Was to Have Been Married
Again Last Week, Took Her Own

Life.
New York, Dec. 3.-The beautiful
young woman who was found shot
to death in her room at the Clar'
endon hotel in Brooklyn yesterday
was positively identified today as
Mrs. Lillian Falconer Doty, who re-
Gently returned from Sioux Falls, ).
D., where she secured a divorce
from her husband. The woman
comes Of rich and fashionable
New York family, where Alexander
Falconer, the father, made a great
fortune.
New developments occurred today,
which showed conclusively that the
woman had committed suicide and
concurrent with these came other
revelations.
The woman secured a divorce
from Mansfield Doty, Wall street
broker, on November 13, at Sioux
Falls, and was to have been married
this week, but the name OF her fiance
is being guarded with jealous sec
recy by THE family.
Owing to the fact that the woman
could not be identified when found
the body was taker to the morgue,
where it was examined. The gar
ments were found to be of costly
texture and fashionable in design;
the jewels found upon her person
were such as to indicate wealth,
refinement and culture. The exam-
ining coroner's physician found a
number of bruises on the body,
which have not yet been accounted
for.
Mrs. Doty registered at the Clar-
endon on Tuesday as Mrs. Falcomer,
Sioux Falls, s. D. When the maid
found herself unable to. arouse the
inmate OF the room yesterday, she
notified John Hill, the manager Of
the hotel. A bell boy was sent up
the fire escape to the window to
take survey of the Irooms and
when. he peered into the apartment
he nearly fell from the aerial perch
from establishment and horror.
The body Of the woman was found
on the floor, a gaping bullet wound
in her right temple and her gal-
ments soaked in blood. The room
was Uttered with cigarette butts and
cigarette box nearly empty was
found in her Russian leather satchel.
Mrs. Doty was married after Il
rapid first courtship in "The Little
Church Around the Corner" in 1902.
Her married life was stormy and
in her divorce petition she alleged
cruelty.
