ANOTHER BOMB IN CHICAGO.
Stores in Block Near Clark and Wash
inston Are Wrecked by Bomb
No. 81.

Chicago, June 28.-An explosion sup.
posed to have been caused by dyna.
mite did heavy damage in the business
district here last night, injuring two or
three persons severely and wrecking
stores and windows for a block near
Clark and Washington streets.
The exact nature of the explosion
remains riddle because of the great
amount of debris thrown around the
alley where 1t occurred.
1t is believed by the police to be
another in the series Of gamblers war
bombs that have mystified the police
of this city for two years.
Bomb No. 80 in the series wrecked
. saloon few nights ago.
The center of the explosion was IN
an alley in the rear of the Central Tel.
ephone exchange. This exchange was
unable to do more business during the
night.
Two restaurants facing on Clark
street were blown practically into the
street, food and dishes being scattered
over the street car tracks
In this alley also was the rear en-
trance to Powers & Gilbert's saloon,
headquarters for Martin B. Madden
and his associates in the building
trades.
Madden and his men are figuring
largely in labor disputes at the present
time and have been the subject of
grand jury indictment
Another place. opening into the al
Icy. which was damaged to an equal
degree with the saloon, was the cash
register store Of Mont Tennes, who
also conducts several alleged gambling
places in the city
Tennes' place has been raided fire..
quently by the police and another
bomb was exploded there year ago.
The police estimate of the damage
is placed at 100000.

Chinese Masons and Reform AS.
ISOLATION Accuse Each Other.

New York, June 25.-With all tangi-
BILE indications Of :ny near approach
to a solution of the murder of Elsie
Sigel narrowing to the vanishing
point. whereas fresh crop OF rumors
springs with each hour of added I'M
certainty, another day of threefold in.
vestigation by police. detectives and
district attorney has ended
Chung Sin, after "a hours of steady
grilling, with but one intermission for
sleep, had day of rest at last
Either because the police despair of
getting more information out of him,
or because they believe that, if he is
left for space to forget the details of
his first answers, he may entangle
himself in more contradictions, they
did not question him yesterday.
The same stream of hopeful but I'M
satisfactory clues kept pouring in
from Chinatown itself, from Newark
and the suburbs, and even from the
cities of the Pacific coast, but so far
as the police here could determine
last night, none of them proved to
have any substantial basis
War Between longs.
A rumor that war between the
Tongs was impending because of Chu
Gains revelations to the police, found
momentary confirmation in the arrest
late yesterday of lone Chinaman
with revolver tucked under his
blouse, but the police said last night
thof fhov uora unable IN copnoot hin,
with any concerted plan for an upris-
ing
The one bit of authentic informa-
ton which turned up yesterday did
not greatly forward the search for
Leon Ling. This information came
from Chu Gain. who explained that
the $3.50 advanced to Ching Sin, Icons
roommate, did not come out of his
private purse.
The police have been much puzzled
about this loan, because it's existence
involves contradiction.
There Is no doubt that Chinatown is
more deeply stirred by the Sigel muir
der than by any even of recent years
The Mongolans feel in a measure
that their sufferance in the land that
harbors them is in the balance Little
groups can be seen standing on the
street corners studying the speaking
cartoons in English papers which they
cannot read
From Rival Societies.
AS a result there was issued two
statements yesterday from the rival
societies in which Chu Gain and Leon
Ling held membership.
The Chinese Masons say that Leon
was a member of the Chinese Empire
Reform association and that they have
no interest in him whatever other
than to aid In his capture.
On the other hand, the Chinese En-.
pire Reform association, which mum.
bers in its roll most of the brains and
enterprise in Chinatown, has sent a
letter to it's ITO branches throughout
the United States instructing all mem.
bers to keep an eye open for Leon
who, it is said, had deserted the so
ciety for the Masons.
| Most concerned of all are the Chris
tianized Cinnamon who feel acutely
that the sincerity of every Chinaman
has been brought into question.

A GOOD REASON.
Cresco People Can Tell You Why 1t Is
So.

Doan's Kidney Pill cure the cause of
disease and that is why the cures are
always lasting. This remedy strength
ems and tones up the kidneys, helping
them to drive out of the body the liquid
poisons that cause backaches, headache
and distressing kidney aud urinary
complaints. Cresco people testify to
permanent cures.
Mrs. Furnia Moulton, living in Cres-
CO. Iowa, says, Exposure to inclem-
ent weather brought on a severe at
tack of kidney trouble in my husband 8
case, and he complained of his didneys
being weak and the secretions attended
with pain. His back was lame and
panied him so intensely that he could
not sleep at night In the morning he
would arise feeling so lame and stiff
that he found it difficult to fasten his
shoes. He finally heard of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and procured box from Milz
drug store. In a few days he felt much
better and soon was as well as ever.
He publicly recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills in 1902 and as he has had no
return of kidney trouble he is only too
glad to reiterate all he then sand. !"

LUMBER TRUST
IS SPOTTED
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS THINK
THEY HAVE A CLEW TO
COMBINE.
EXPOSE CAME IN TARIFF DEBATE
Presence of "Gentlemen's Agreement"
Is Determined Anyway.-identcai
Price Lists One Evidence
Searching for Leaders.

Washington, June Enforcement
officials concerned in the hunt which
has been going on for a year or two
for the head and front of the lumber
trust, are understood to be confident
that they are at last on the right
trail Commissioner Herbert Knox
Smith, of the bureau of corporations,
will not discuss the rumor that has
been current here for several days
that his investigators have succeeded
in fixing the responsibility for the
control of lumber prices and lumber
operations.
The government authorities actual
ly do believe, however, that they have
established facts as to the lumber In
dustry which indicate beyond ques-
ton the presence of general under
nitely the leadership and controlling
forces in that "gentlemen's agree
ment."
Since the opening of the tariff de-
bates on lumber, the lumber repre-
sentatives on the floor of both houses
have insisted determinedly that there
is no trust, never has been trust,
and by the nature of things could
hot be trust in the lumber business
Against these assertions Senator Mel
son and other members Of congress
have presented identical price lists
of lumber companies situated in wide
ly separated sections of the country
showing that price lists had been
printed in ST Louis for lumber com
panies in many sections.
Whether the facts brought out In
the lumber tariff debates have helped
the bureau of corporations is not
known. Neither is any intimatidh
given as to whether the alleged proof
of a lumber trust leads up to the iden
LITIGATION as its heads of such men as
Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Edward
Hines, or other big timber owners
1t is believed here that details will
be forthcoming soon which will show
the strength of the proof obtained as
to lumber combination.

Elsie slgeI, from a Snap Shot Taken
While She Was Member Of q Pho
nicking Party.
the afternoon when her body was
found wedged in trunk in the rooms
of Chinaman in Eighth avenue They
still believe, however, that he is sure
to be run down.
The most significant fact of the case
is that there Is absolutely nothing to
indicate when or how Leon Ling left
the city.
The information coming from New
ark that Leon Ling left the trunk in
restaurant there has been substan-
TALLY confirmed with slight alterations
in details and hours, but it only makes
the case more puzzling.
James F. Haldstead, the Newark
cabby who drove Leon and the trunk
back after its IL hours rest In Newark,
has positively identified the trunk in
which the body was found as one he
carried, and has further picked out the
eighth avenue restaurant, New York,
as the place where he took it.
The New York cabby who took Leon
and the trunk to Newark has not been
found.
