ChicagO's Fine New Hotel.
From the Chicago Evening Post.

Although much still remains to be
done in the way of interior furnish
ing before the new LaSalle Hotel can
be called complete, the magnificent
new hostelry has been formally OPEN
ed to the public, all of the rooms
from the fourth to the sixteenth floor
being furnished and ready for occu-
pancy,
The kitchen equipment is also com.
plete and the announcement has been
made that the hotel is ready to serve
meals to fifteen thousand persons.
The delay in finishing the work on
the lower floors and in the rotunda is
blamed to trouble with the building
trades unions which for time ham,
pered all construction work in the
city.
During the last few days an army
of diapers has been busy covering
the uncompleted portions of the ro-
tunda walls by hanging thousands of
yards of heavy burlap as temporary
expedient. Upon this burlap many
OF the tapestry pieces which are even
tually to be set in panels on the walls
have been fastened, thus adding
some touches of color to the other
wise somber appearance.
The new hotel, the total cost of
which is placed at 6 one half million
dollars, is owned by the LaSalle .Ho-
tel Company, of which George Wood
land, president of the Prairie State
Bank; Charles A. Stevens of the firm
by that name, John Escher Knoble,
manager of the Otto Young estate:
Philetus Gates, capitalist, and others
form the board of directors.

ton of a woman in the side of a small
gully near their fathers place. There
is every indication that the woman
was murdered.
The sheriff and prosecuting attor-
ney were called to investigate and
brought the skeleton to this city.
The bones were in good state Of pre-
servation. The woman was tall and
we'll dressed, the clothing being of
good quality. The hair, which had
been at a coil at the back of the head,
dropped off as the skull was lifted by
the officers.
A hand bag was found buried with
the body, but there was nothing in it
by which the woman could be identi-

HOG CHOLERA PREVENTION
1t Will Be Demonstrated at the
Missouri State Fair.

DR.. ]. w. Connaway, who is in
charge of the Veterinary Department
of the Missouri Agricultural College
at Columbia, will conduct demonstra-
tons daily on the Missouri State Fair
grounds showing methods of using

methods of preparing the serum and
administering it. This is of interest
to every farmer in Missouri and il
will pay every farmer who is raising
hogs to 90 to the State Fair and learn
all possible of the treatment. The
United States Government Reports
state that hog cholera serum is sure

These demonstrations will be of great
value to the state for they furnish an
opportunity to the swine breeders all
over Missouri to get in close touch
with the methods used in treating
hogs with serum.

Wife Charges Conspiracy.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept-Fred-
erick Reiners, of Brooklyn, son of a
wealthy distiller, was arrested and
held under $1,000 bonds by Magis-
trate Jagmetty on the charge of con-
spiracy preferred by Mrs. Reiners,
his wife, from whom he is seeking a
divorce.
George Montgomery, a friend of
Mr.. Reiners, is also in custody in
connection with the alleged con-
spiracy, and a warrant is out for Con-
stable Thomas Shrill, of Atlantic City.
Clarence L. Cole, counsel for Mrs.
Reiners, asked the court, before any
testimony was taken, to permit her to
make a statement. Half hysterical
and frequently in sobs, she swore
that last February she was sent to
Atlantic City for her health.
She alleged that an agent of her
husband inveigled her from the hotel,
and with another she was piled with
various drinks, some Of which she

agent made vain endeavors to have
her enter a room. She resisted, she
says, although threatened with
whipping il she refused to obey.
Sympathetic tenants Of the place came
to her rescue, she declared, ann the
conspiracy failed.
The sobbing WOman's statements

Nevada, Mo-, Sept. l2.-UnsucceSs
full in her attempt to aid two men il
escaping from the local Jail and be
trayed by those for whom she haC
risked her life and liberty, Ada DE-
Pratt shot herself rather than fall int
the hands of the police officers whC
were searching for her. The bulle
passed through her body and the CIR
may die.
Miss De Pratt, who is only Is years
old and pretty, was employed as q
domestic by a family occupying q
house adjoining the county Jail. For
the past two weeks Jess Cherry, OF
Kansas City, and James Dow, OF
Pittsburg, Kan, both accused of rob.
berry, have been confined here.
From the top of the fence about the
house the De Pratt girl was able ia
see and converse with the prisoners.
AS time went on the trio became
friendly to a marked degree. The
girl often brought the men delicacies
and carried messages for them.
Finally the pair persuaded Ada to
bring them a file. With the rough
steel the men succeeded in filing
away two of the bars. AS they were
about to climb through the aperture
pedestrian discovered them and re-
ported at once to Sheriff Baugh.
The Jail delivery was frustrated.
"Who told you about this" asked
one of the men of the Sheriff.
1.-THE person who gave you the
file," remarked the Sheriff at ven
ture.
Taking this to mean that the De
Pratt girl had betrayed them, the men
told the Sheriff the part taken by her
in the near-iail delivery.
Mr.. Baugh at once sent deputies to
get the girl and bring her in. After
a short search Ada was found near
the window of the Jail waiting for the
men to emerge. She had revolver
in her hand, which il is thought she
intended giving the prisoners to aid
them in making their escape.
AS the deputies approached the girl
realized at once that the plot had been
discovered. just as one of the Off
GERS was about to lay hand on her
shoulder she pointed the revolver at
her right breast and fired.
The girl is unconscious and the
police here have not been able to get
a statement from her.
The men involved in the near es-
cape are under arrest for the burglary
of store in Schwartz, in the south
western part of the county.
