OF CHICAGO BUILDINGS

CHICAGO, May 2S.--A gale. which
reached greater velocity than
has been recorded in Chicago for seven
years, tonight preceded an electrical
storm, which did considerable damage
in various parts of the city. Several
persons were injured by debris blow
ing from buildings. and church and
half a score of other buildings were
struck by lightning.
The storm was the elimination of
a day of atmospheric disturbances,
which began with daylight and con-
tinued internationally until nearly mid
night.
The greatest instance of damage oc-
Cured when an eighty-foot iron CHM
ney was blown from the roof of an
eight-story building at 119 La Sale
street. The chimney fell across a
court, breaking windows in the Bre-
WORT hotel from the fourteenth to the
sixteenth stories and also crashed
through skylight in restaurant adj
joining.
One man was severely cut by broken
glass, and scores of guests in the hotel
and patrons of the restaurant were
thrown into a panic.
The high wind, which reached We
locity of eighty-sx miles an hour.
crippled telegraph and telephone wires
throughout the city. For short time
the city was almost cut off from COM
munication with the outside world, but
most of the damage in this regard was
of a temporary nature and was soon
adjusted.
The day opened with a severe elec-
trical and rain storm, which was al
most a cloudburst The humidity en-
gendered by this outburst increased
during the day until 1916 per cent was
recorded, and the temperature also
mounted steadily, the maximum being
70 degrees, II points above the mini
mum. The rainfall for the morning
and evening storms was .95 of an inch,
the heaviest experienced here in long
period.
The storm was a portion of the dis
turbance which had been hanging over
the middle west for several days. Lo-
cal conditions had kept this city free
from disturbances until today

Pandemonium
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 2S.-Rumors that an
Italian secret society had formed plot
to dynamite the Dante school at Ew-
ing and Desplaines streets caused a
panic this afternoon among the 100 pu-
pills of the school, About 900 of the
children became panic stricken and fled
from the building.
Many of them were knocked down in
the rush for the doors and slightly
bruised. but nome of them was seriously
injured.
For several days there have been ru-
mors that the school might be blown up
with dynamite. There has never been
any foundation for the stories, but they
have served to make the pupils and
their parents somewhat nervous.
This afternoon somebody fired a num-
ber of shots in an alley tdjoining the
school, and instantly hundreds of chill
dren, left their seats and ran for the
doorways.
The teachers finally managed to quiet
the children, but not before several
hundred of them had fled into the
street.

LIKE DIAPEPSIN
TO RELIEVE INDIGESTION

causes a feeling of nausea and miser-
ableness.
Don't fool yourself any longer; take
fifty cents to your Pharmacist for a
case of Pape's Diapepsin. Eat one of
these 22-grain Triangules after this
evenings meal, and five minutes later
your stomach will do what healthy
stomach should-that is. turn every
bite you eat into bodily nourishment
and without you realizing that you
have a Stomach. Each triangule will
digest 5000 grains of food without the
help of the stomach, because they con-
strong, healthy stomach has. Pape's
Diapepsin is a thoroughly tested pre-
Scrption for Indigestion and Stomach
trouble which plainly tells on the case
the complete formula, and is as harm
less as candy and as pleasant to the
taste.
How promptly you find permanent
relief merely depends upon how soon
you make up your mind to take Dia-
pepsn.
Ii you go now and get 5O-cent case
you will feel fine Il few minutes after
eating a Triangule. and it is a safe
promise that your home will never be
without Diapepsin; as there is no other
household preparation which comes so
handy so many times.
Others of the family may eat some
thing which does not agree with them,
then it is there to give relief.

OLSON cHILD's BODY FOUND.
Little Girl Doubtless Perished From
Exposure.

Sioux City, April 1.-THE mysterious
disappearance of Lille Olson, the A.
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Oh
son of Rosalie, Neb., for whom the
police of two states have carried on an
unremitting search for four months,
has been solved. Boys returning from
school took a short cut home yester-
day afternoon and discovered the BODY
in a six-foot ditch, two and one-quar-
ter miles north of the Olson home.
The case from the start has been
a duplicate of the famous Marvin dis
appearance. Since the child disap-
peared on Dec. 9, 1907, three persons
have been arrested, charged with alb
duction and murder, but all were re-
leased. Olaf Olson, father of the girl,
was twice in the hands of the officers,
but each time was given his liberty
for lack of evidence. A thousand men
from four Nebraska counties twice
made a search of the country for four
miles surrounding the Olson home.
The body Of the girl was discov-
cred on the farm of Matt Neason. His
two little sons returning over the
fields made the discovery. The remains
were we'll preserved and no marks of
violence We're found.

Northwood. April inflammation
of the bowels caused death yesterday
afternoon at his home in Manley, of
N T.. knutson. who was member of
the board of supervisors of Worth
county for the First district. Mr..
knutson was sick less than twenty
four hours. and was down town as US
ual Sunday morning. He was at
Northwood at the April board meeting
all last week. and seemed to all APP
pearances to be in his usual health and
some people thought he looked better
than usual. He complained little of
not feeling we'll Saturday, but nothing
was thought of 1t. II is thought by
some that a strain received while leap
ing across ditch while on road in
spection trip in the western part of the
county Friday had something to do
with his sudden illness
Mr. knutson has long been prominent
in this county. He served as super
visor once before, and has held other
positions of trust. He was success
full business man and was in fairly
comfortable circumstances. Two
daughters survive him. His wife died
less than a year ago. and an only son
died few months before she did. NO
funeral arrangements have yet been
announced.

FOR TWO YEARS THIS

WALKS AND WORKS.

For a generation DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have been curing rheumatism and
other diseases caused by poor blood
and during that time certain cures
have been published that We're so
marvellous in their nature chat they
have been termed modern miracles.
Such cure was that Of Charles Cal
houn, Jr, now living at Capron, N. v.
and employed in mill there. The
facts in the case are widely known
in the neighborhood in which Mr.. Cal
houn lives and the cure is regarded
locally as. nothing short of miraculous.
When the Calhoun family was liv-
ing at Winfield N Y, some years ago,
the Young man was taken sick. Our
family doctor pronounced 1T intlamma-
tory rheumatism" says Mr.. Calhoun.
'and he attended me for about a year.
For nine months / was confined to the
bed and in such agony that | could
not bear the weight of the sheets nor
to have anyone touch me. could not
move myself at ALL
"The rheumatism was complicated
with a nervous trouble resembling ST.

them. My fingers began to draw out
of shape and get stiff.
"In spite of the doctors treatment

ting worse. MY feet swelled so that !
could not get stocking on and could
not straighten up at ALL Finally the
doctor told my father he could do MOTH
ing more for me.
"At this time DIR. Williams Pink PMS

relief in the first box. After taking
three boxes could walk. I continued
to take them steadily until / was
