Insane Asylum in Illinois
Burns and Many Women
Believed Dead.
MICH DIFFICULTY In
RESCUE OF PATIENTS
Three Wards of Central Hospital for
Insane Burn-Great Number Of
Patients Removed-SOme Rush Back
and Hide i'm Cosets-Citizens Give
Aid to Prevent Disorder-Seyeral
of the Inmates Escape.

Jacksonville, Ills. Dec. 22.-Firs
last night destroyed three wards Of
the north annex of the Central hos
pital for the insane here, entailing a
loss of about $4,000.
One hundred and eighty women
patients were removed in safety
from the burning wards and were
housed in wards of the mems de-
partment. In a few instances the
women ran back into their rooms
and hid themselves under beds or
chairs.
When the fire broke out in the
north annex soon after o'clock
some of the patients escaped, but
the asylum authorities systematized
the removal of the inmates from the
burning wing to another part of the
hospital. The fire in the north wing
burned fiercely and the fire depart
ment fought It with difficulty, sew
eral firemen being injured by falling
walls in the fire. 1t was near mid
night before the fire was under con-
troll
Citizens Give Aid
Most of the patients rescued from
the burning section were escorted by
guards and volunteers to the south
wing of the asylum, a new addit on.
The fire however, so alarmed patients
all through the asylum that the stu
alton became threatening and citi-
zens of Jacksonville were asked to
aid in preventing further disorder.
Patients freed from the burning Sec
ton gave the guards and volunteers
concern.
Several men and women escaped,
some being found in the outlying
streets. Some women, thinly clad,
were found sitting on curbstones half
mile from the asylum
1t is rumored that many patients
still are in the burned portion of the
asylum. These, it is said. were wo-
men in the fourth floor of the four
story building, who are reported to
have persisted. The number of pa
tients in the building has not been
ascertained with certainty.
The fire started in the roof of the
wing. The cause is not known.
Flames spread rapidly to the fourth
floor, where several hundred women
patients were kept. Their cries ere
ated a terrific din, which aroused men
and women patients throughout the
institution.
1t is believed possible that some of
the women may have eluded the at
tendants.
At II o'clock, though the fire in the
north wing still was burning ana
floors and walls had fallen, danger
of further spread of the flames SEEM
ed slight Officials were unable to re-
port whether all the patients had been
accounted for.
Dr. H p. Carriel, superintendent OF
the institution, late last night said so
far as he knew. no lives were losv.
He said female patients did not escape
but were removed to the south annex.

ERAS IN THE
CHURCH HISTORY
Forces Which Have Been in
Operation Mentioned by
Pastor.

The church and its connection with his
tory was the basis of an interesting ser
mon delivered last night by the Rev
Louis S. BOwerman at Emmanuel Bap-
fist church before a large congregation.
He particularized upon the second and
third chapters Of Revelations, of which
book he said:
THE book was Christs final word for
the church until he came again. There
has not been, neither, indeed, will there
be, another revelation during that which
is known as the Gospel era. The title of
the book is very suggeStiVe-'The ReVela-
ton of Jesus Christ, which God gave IN
to Him to show unto His servants, even
the things which shortly must be coming
to pass
Mr. Bowerman said: "The book is one
wonderful comforting power. The final
issue is one of triumph. Glorious victory
awaits the host of God; most disastrous
defeat awaits those who will not forsake
sin and follow righteousness.
In the era OF the Smyrnian period you
have the times of great prosecutions;
historians note ten great and distinct out
bursts OF wrath on the part of those
against the church. You thus see the
emphasis Of the word BE thou faithful
unto death and 1 viii give thee a crown
Of life
In the Pergamon era you see the evil
forces CTOwding for entrance into the
church The spirit of Balaam waits lust
to the world. Satan, not being able TO
overcome, is trying new method, In
the next a you see the change brought
about unde- the form of the woman Jeze-
bel The world and the church are be-
coming one, state and church are unit
ing. You have here introduced the rest
or, rather, the remnant The punishment
Of the children you will find in the story
of the crusades.
In the era of Sardis you find the re-
suit Of the process of the former era.
The church has a name to live, but it
is dead. 1t is the story of great name,
but a dead Oh lrch-the middle ages. Spiri-
tually the church is dead. Only here and
there are to be found the few faithful
witnesses.
"In the era of Philadelphia you come to
the time of opened doors. You have the
story of the reformation and the great
missionary activity. The little power and
the keeping of the word and the not de-
nying of the masters name are the
causes of conquest. We believe that we
are still in this era, though possibly on
the border land of passing over into the
seventh, the LaOdlcean era. This will be
the final, the age of wealth and posi-
ton, the time of perfectly fancied secur-
ity, of great ease and contentmeut.
Some will be Jealous, many will be
cold: the result of the mass is that of
Iukewarmness. One part neutraiizes the
other. The picture closes with Christ
standing at the door. He is knocking
and his return is imminent. This is then
the unfolding picture

POLICE STORIES
PROVED UNTRUE
Weak Attempt Is Made to
Boost Badly Shattered
Reputation.

II their efforts to build up a case in
substantiation of their claim that the
murderers Of officer c. c. Riley have
been caught the police have circulated
unfOunded and ridiculous stories con-
corning the actions of r. Z. kennedy
and L Z. Driskell. now under arrest.
1t was given out saturday by the chief
of police that the two men would have
been captured the night Of the murder
in the American house had not Frank
Woods, a negro. held the door of a room
which the police were attempting to
enter, while Kennedy and Drisken es-
capped. The negro in question was in
the city Jail at the time of the murder,
on suspicion of having beaten and
robbed a negreSs. Later he was given
in PocatellO.
The police also gave out the infor-
nation that while the negro held the
door OF room No. "A in the hotel Dris-
of a fire escape at a rear window. In
VestigatOn diSClOses the fact that the
nearest fire escape is about fifty feet
away from the window in question,
As a matter of fact, the claims Of the
police that they have ferreted out
enough evidence to trace Kennedy and
DFisRen from the morning OF the muir
der until their arrest in ogden week
later are without foundation. The
identificatiOns Of the men by various
witnesses of the murder furnish the
only evidence against them, so far as
the local police are concerned. Some
circumstantiai evidence Of considerable
note has been gathered by the Ogden
authorities who arrested the couple,
and without whose help the local police
would still be at sea.
Needless to say, Kennedy and Dris-
kell will be railrOaded, guilty or not
guilty, to save whatever may be lert or
the shattered reputation of the Ameri-
can PARTY police force.

GRAFTERS FAIL
TO MAKE GOOD
Frightened American Party
LeeCheS Issue Orders That
Excite LaWbreakerS.
SALOONS CLOSE ON SUNDAY
EVEN CANDIDATE MULVEY's IN
FLUENCE FAILS TO WORK.

Professional gamblers and saloon men
who have been paying more than $500 a
week to somebody in the American party
administration threatened an immediate
revolt against the inner CIRCLE of graft
yesterday when they were informed by
the police that they must close for a
day.
The only explanation made when the
orders were given was that the people
Of the city were getting wise" but the
saloon men and gamblers were told that
as soon as The Herald-Republican let
up on its fight against the arrange
ment" they might open.
Most OF the gamblers had paid their
assessments Saturday, paying in advance
for carrying on their illegal business for
a week without interference from the po-
lice. and the order to close for day
at least came as most unwelcome sur
prise.
1t was only a few minutes after the
first order to close up for the day had
been given before the gamblers and sa-
loon men were busy calling on NJ. Z. Null
vey, gambling boss" of the American
party organization and candidate for
councilman from the Fifth precinct. Null
vey explained that he was in the same
boat and until Monday, at least, he could
do nothing for them. MulVey further
called their attention 20 the fact that
he had actually been made to close his
bar-the first Sunday it had been really
closed for many months.
The gamblers got in touch with each
other last night, meeting in one of the
rooms in Main street where they dis
cussed the situation and appointed COM
mittee to investigate and make a report
today as to whether the Salt Lake City
administration would ''stay bought and
when they might open for business again.
Mayor j. S. BransfOTd, who has been
aware Of the open gambling and violation
of the law by the saloon men for months
refused to make any comment on the or
daV nd he f0rFT- Tor aT7f of
mination not to say a word about the
wholesale violation of the law and the
use of the police department to collect
the hush money indicated that he had
already consulted the inner circle on the
matter and, incidentally, received his Or

JIM AND JACK.

Jim and Jack. were two hooking
birds who lived. not out in the
trees of the warm south that had
once been their home, but in a
large cage. The lady who owned
them loved them SO dearly and
treated them so kindly that they
really did not miss their outdoor
home at all, and they were as
happy as could be.
The cage stood in a sunny win.
dow which was full of growing
plants, and Jim and Jack had great
sport flying about among the flow,
ers, for you see they were so tame
that the door of the cage was left
open most of the time, and they
flew in and out as they pleased.
Sometimes they got into mis-
chief, and ran off with their mis-
tress spools or skeins of bright en-
broidery six. One day as she sat
sewing she noticed the birds hop
ping along side by side. like two
dignilied gentlemen out for walk.
They went all around the room.

left her work and went to see why
they We're doing it. They had found
a piece of thread. and Jim had swal-
loved half of it and Jack the other,
so of course they had to stay close
together.
The lady very gently drew out
the thread, so as not to hurt their
tender threats. They probably
never tried it again.
