THOUSANDS CURED
BY NOTED HEALER

DENVER, Oct. H.-Franeis Schlat-
ter the divine healer" whose preach-
ing. accompanied by apparently mir
aculous cures, created profound SEN
sation throughout the west, came to
Denver from New Mexico, September
16, 1895.
While the stories of his reported
powers had preceded him, they were
not given general credence until his
demonstrations in this city
During his stay here Schlatter was
the guest of former Alderman b. l..
Fox and addressed his audiences ana
performed his cures in the front yard
Of the Fox home. He remained but
a week. but before the end of that
time the railroads were bringing train
loads of sick, lame and blind to Den
yer to have Schlatter heal them by
laying one of his hands upon them.
So great were the throngs that many
erected tents near the Fox home to
await their turn with the healer.
Schlatter never wore coat or hat. He
took no money from the patients he
was supposed to have healed.
1t is believed by many who knew
Schlatter during his stay here that
he died in the deserts of New Mexico
in 1897 and that the identity of the
body was fully determined.

THREE CANDIDATES
CLAIMING VICTORY
Barnard, Gaynor and Hearst Give
Estimated PIuralties and
Talk to Campaign
Crowds

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-With New
Yorks municipal election only twelve
days distant. the campaign today
reached the stage of hopeful forecast
and optimistic estimates. These were
the probabilities" estimated by cam
paign managers for the three candi-
dates:
Barnard (Republican-Fusion), by
10000.
Gaynor Democrat), by $4,000.
Hearst independently, by $4,000.
The confidence expressed by all the
campaign managers was pointed out
by many observers tonight as a fur
ther indication of the non-partisan
character of the support upon which
the candidates depend and of the
breaking down to a great extent of
party lines in the consideration of
New York's municipal problems.
There were more than 100 minor
meetings in various parts Of New
York tonight. Justice Gaynor toured
the east side by automobile, repeat
ing his attacks on Hearst and Barnard
and emphasizing particularly his plea
for more personal liberty and a lib
eral construction of police laws. Ban
nard was heard in Staten island.
William M. WINS who is advocating
the election of Hearst, spoke IN a
dozen small meetings. He told his
hearers that he was entirely salts
fed with the progress of the cam
paign.

rhinoceros and leopard. The hunter
who follows any of these animals al
ways does so at a certain risk of life
or limb; a risk which it is his busi-
ness to minimize by GOODNESS, caution,
good judgment and straight shooting.
"The leopard is in point of pluck and
ferocity more than the equal of the
other four, but his small size always
renders it likely that he will merely
maui and not kill a man.
my friend, Carl Akely of Chicago,
actually killed barehanded a leopard

wounded the beast twice, crippling it

sons, for instance, can; and had al
ready made up my mind that in the
event of the lions charging it would
be wise for me to trust to straight
powder rather than to try to scramble
into the saddle and get under way in
time.
"I could still not see the lion when
I knelt, but he was now standing up
looking first at one group of horses
and then at the other, his tail lashing
to and fro, his head held low and his
lips dropped over hts mouth in pecu-
liar fashion, while his harsh and saw
age growing rolled thunderously over
the plains. Seeing Simba and me on
foot. he turned toward us, his tail
lashing quicker and quicker.
Resting my elbow on Simba's bent
shoulder, 1 took steady aim and
pressed the trigger; the bullet went in
between the neck and shoulder and
the lion fell over on his side"

BAD MEAT DUE
TO HIGH PRICES
MORE is CONDEMNED IN U. S.
THAN ELSEWHERE
Member of state Department Says
Charges Made at Convention
Will Be Investigated
at Once
[By Associated Press.l


WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-"More meat
is condemned as unfit for human food
in the United States than in any other
country. The fact may account, in a
contributory way, for the present high
prices of meats"
This statement was made today by a
responsible official of the department
of agriculture in connection with the
charges made at the convention of the
American Boards of Health association,
now In session at Richmond, Va.
The charges were voiced by Mrs Car
oline B. Crane of Kalamazoo, Mich,
the allegations being that the inspect
ors of the bureau of animal industry
in many cases were incompetent and
careless.
"As a matter of fact" continued the
department official, mo country in the
world is so careful as the United States
in the examination of meats intended
to be used as food
Approximately there are 800 pack
ing houses in the country, the output
of which is inspected thoroughly by
trained veterinarians of this depart
ment. In addition. we have three trav-
cling inspectors who direct the work of
the packing house inspectors with a
view to seeing there is no carelessness
and no such shirking of duty.
"This rigid inspection has cost the
packers millions of dollars not only in
the construction and maintenance of
their plants in a perfectly sanitary con-
dition, but also in the cost of animals
which are condemned by reason of dis
ease.
I'VE know nothing here about Mrs.
o1a I,YYf Nxrha q
are, and against whomsoever they may
be directed, they will be investigated
thoroughly, for only by such thorough
inquiry are we able to maintain the
high standard of excellence of Ameri-
can packing house products"

FOUND HANGING TO IRON
FENCE IN NEW YORK PARK
Doctors Say Young Mans Attempt to
Commit Suicide VIII Prove
Unsuccessful

NEW. YORK, oct. 21.-Although a
young man who was found in Central
park before daylight yesterday made
exceptional preparations, the doctors
say that his efforts to commit suicide
will be unsuccessful.
A policeman found him hanging to
the high paling of an iron fence, be-
ing suspended by a steel key chain.
He had with him quart bottle OF
choral and a quart bottle of strong
solution of mercury bichloride. He
had swallowed some of the chloral be-
fore hanging himself. From the guam
tity of the drugs he possessed the po-
lice, who were unable to get his name
from him, believe he is drug clerk.

TEN MINERS KILLED
BY COLLIERY BLAST
TWO MEN INJURED AND ONE
YET MISSING
Nine Bodies So Far Are Recovered
from Mine In Oklahoma.
Passed Danger Line
with Lamps

HARTSHORNE, Okla, Oct. 21.-Ten
men are dead, two injured and one is
missing as a result of an explosion in
mine No. 10 of the Rock Island Coal
Mining company early today.
Nine bodies were recovered.
The men are believed to have gone
beyond a dead line with lighted lamps.
The fact that Dan Hughes, sub
boss, was with the men led to the belief
that they were arranging the air
courses to carry out the gas when one
or more of the men passed over the
dead line"
Hughes was alive when taken from
the mine, but did not regain conscious
ness.
