who died the previous week in Santa
Rosa. California. A solemn requiem
mass was celebrated for the repose

STA, Superior of the Sisters of Saint
Joseph in the diocese of Wichita,
several priests from out Of town were
present for the mass. Mr.. Keleher

The following account appears in
the local paper of Santa Rosa, Cal:
'Michael j. Keleher passed away
late Monday evening at the Mary
Jesse hospital, where he was removed
some days ago in critical condition.
AT that time it was realized that the
condition Of Mr.. Keleher was such as
to almost preclude recovery but he
made good fight against the en-
croachment of the disease that had
laid such strong hold on him. De-
ceased came to this city some years
ago, and occupied a responsible posi-
ton with the Sonoma County Fruit
and Produce Company in the egg de-
partment. He continued in the en-
pIoy of this company until sickness
forced him to his bed, and then he
was later removed to the hospital that
he might have the attention OIL
trained nurses at all times. During
his stay here Mr. Keleher had met
many people and they all became his
firm friends. He is particularly well
known among the members of the
Sonoma County Cooperative Poul-
try Association, and each of these Will
feel his loss that of personal friend.
Surviving the deceased are a der
voted widow and two sons, aged five
and three years, his aged parents, Mr..
and Mrs. P. j. Keleher of Newto;S
Kansas; two brothers, Frank and Jo-
seph Keleher also of Newton and two
sisters, Miss Margaret Keleher and
Sister ,Aloysia, Sister Superior of a
Catholic convent at Wichita, Kansas.
The brother, Frank Keleher, arrived
here several days ago and assisted in
the ministrations to his beloved rela-
tive and made the last moments as
comfortable as possible"
Mr.. Keleher was an Abilene boy.
He came here with his parents in
1885 and made Abilene his home I'M
til few years ago. Mr.. Keleher was
connected with the Nellis-Brenneman
poultry firm. He made numerous
friends wherever he went and VIII
especially be remembered by the far
mers of this community who had deal
ings with that firm. Mr.. Keleher was
of an honest, lovable, disposition. The
deceased will be mourned by his low
ing relatives and many friends.

Sheriff Epperson received a letter
Sunday morning telling him that
Toney Moses, the negro who killed

been caught in Jacksonville, Fla. The
letter enclosed description of Toney
and two photographs, one a side
view and tn other a front view. The

II was he. Mr.. Eugene Stansi,l was
deputized to go to Jacksonville and

This Is not the first time that II
was thought that Toney had been
caught, and no one was surprised to
find that there was a mistake.
Toney's crime is one that is fami-

DIR. Stiles Publishes Startling State
ments OF the Prevalence Of the Dis
case After Visit Through South.

Washington, March 25.-Publica-
tons attributed to DR.. c. w. Stiles of
the public health and marine hospital
service, regarding the hookworm dis
ease of the South, which appeared in
lays issue of the public health re-
.orts, were read with great interest
in view of the discussion on that sub.
ject in the senate yesterday. The doc.
tor tells of observations made in
southern Florida, in three cotton mills
in North Carolina and of a visit to
several cigar factories in Tampa.
In southern Florida in company
with DR.. E. E. Lindeman of the State
board of health laboratory at Tampa
and DR.. John S. Helms, DR.. Stiles
says he visited eight schools located
in three counties and saw 1.3O6 school
children of whom he puts down $50
per cent as suspects. The number so
classified, DR.. Stiles says, may, as ex-
perience shows, be taken as an ultra
conservative estimate of the number
Of these children who had hookworm
infection.
In fact, ne adds, according to ex-
perience on a basis of $50 per cent.
suspects it may be concluded that
the infection is probably not less than
so per cent, which was the estimate
made by Helm before the examina-
ton Of the children began. Pupils
represented not only some very poor
children from the farms but also chill
dren of very well-to-do families from
farms and towns. At least five of the
teachers in the schools visited show
ed clear and pronounced effects of
hookworm infection.
IN second paper DR.. Stiles speaks
OF visit to three cotton mills in
Rockingham, n. c. In those three
mills 242 people were employed and
the percentage of hookworm suspects
was 64.s., being about what was ex-
pected in view of the fact that the
mills draw their aabor~ chiefly from
the sand areas.
AT Tampa DR.. Stiles says, as the
people in the cigar factories s visited
there belonged to nationalities (Cu-
ban, Spanish and Italian), with which
he was not very familiar, no trust
worthy conclusions, in the absence of
microscopic examination, could be
orawn in regard to the percentage of
hookworm infection among them.

FATAL CHICAGO FIRE.
Fire Started by an Accident and Six
ten Persons Perish.

Chicago, March 25.-Search of the

today was discontinued this after
noon, owing to the danger from the
falling walls, but not until after 12
OF the dead had been recovered and
IL Of these were identified.
While earlier estimates placed the
number of victims trapped on the
fourth and fifth floors of the Fish
building as high as 20, later and more
thorough investigation reveals that
there were but 16. Two of these es-
capped with their lives, which leaves
but two more to be accounted for.
The search was abandoned for the
day on the report of Chief Building
Inspector John A. Short, who de-
clared that three of the walls, inside
OF which the rescuers were working,
were In dangerous condition. II

Leo Stoeckel, a clerk of the Fish
Company who by accident Is said to
have started the fire, told his story.
Stoeckel. who is but % years old, is
admittedly more unfortunate than
culpable. Attorney Hoegan says he
VIII bring some charge against the
young man to insure his attendance
at the inquest.
Stoeckel was brought before the
fire attorney with his hand, which
had been burned, swathed in band

White Men.

Fairfax. March 25.-Two men Civ
ing their names as James Carrill and
James Paris. who are thought to be
j. w. Napier of Langley and w. p.
Duke. OF New York city. seem to have
worked clever swindling game on

Joining places. Recently there came

press TO Godans. They were consign-
ed to James Paris and were valued
at something over s400. The package
was marked collect. There came a
similar package to Ulmer which was
valued at s265. There was also a
package of diamond rings shipped to
Sycamore to James Paris"
Last Wednesday the two men call
ed on the express agent at Godans. 1t

jewelry as 1t had been sent with the
privilege for the man to whom IL was
sent to examine. and accept any part
or all of II and pay for what was ac-
cepted. The men were permitted to
examine &e jewelry for some time so
II Is said The statement has been
made that they said they would go
TO olar TO get some money and come
back on the next train. They did not
return. The express agent became
suspicious and examined the box OF
jewelry to see IL he had been tricked.
He found that several of the diamond
rings were gone and that cheap imi-
tations had been substituted. The ex-
press agent went to Ulmer and wired
the town marshal here TO look out for
the men. As the message was being
received Duke walked into the sta
tion and asked for a grip that had
been sent from Rock Hill and which
was addressed to James Carrill"
The marshal arrived at the depot just
as Duke was leaving. The marshal
found Napier sitting on platform
near the station and arrested him.
Duke escaped.

A Good Rub and an Air Bath a Sub.
stitute For the Tub.
The conditions and conventions Of
our civilization demand frequent bath
ing. 1t is popularity supposed that this
frequent bathing is essential to health.
"This Is quite untrue" says the Med
ical Journal. I'VE have seen fine and
vigorous men among the habitants Of
Canada who had never taken a full
bath in their lives. Were the truth
known. many thousands of our fellow
citizens probably know nothing of the
alleged benefits of the tub. though
maintaining excellent average health.
''Such people do not present the
fresh and pleasing appearance of the
frequent bather, however long lived
they may be. Is not. however. much
Of the benefit attributed to the water
in reality due to the complete exposure
of the skin to the air?
1.-THE respiratory function of the
skin is Of high importance, and, al
though water may be dispensed with.
closing the pores to air would result
in speedy asphyxiation. The historic
instance Of the boy who impersonated
John the Baptist in a medieval pro-
cession and whose body was covered
with gold leaf with rapidly fatal re-
suits is proof.
1.-The ice cold bath is superstition;
1t is a pastime for the abnormally
vigorous, not desirable for the average
civilized man. A bath not too cold IS
really an agreeable stimulant as we'll
as being a luxury. The feeling of we'll
being after bath can hardly be OBJ
tained in any other way. and the
rapid multiplication of tubs in hotels
and private residences. soon to ap-
proach one to the individual. shows
how they are appreciated.
Unhappy persons. however, whose
travels in the provinces or into the
desert may temporarily deprive them
of sufficient water for bathing may
find a substitute that will at least af-
ford part of their accustomed en-
joyment The body may be energet-
ically rubbed with u brush or coarse
Turkish towel and afterward exposed
to the air for fifteen minutes or so.
The accustomed feeling of vigor will
follow and the process will be found
by the uninitiated to be astonishingly
