TWO DEATHS DUE
TO DISCOVERY

Cleveland, o., April s,-Shock
and grief caused by the discovery
that his sweetheart, Anna Neumeis-
ter, aged II, was his half-sister,
the death of John OFT, who died on
the street Monday, according to the
coroner's verdict today.
Unknown to OFT, the body OF
Miss Neumeister had been taken
from Lake Erie but short time be-
fore he died. The discovery of their
kinship had prompted her to take
her life.
Sunday the mother surprised OFT
making love to Anna. She then in
formed the sweethearts that they
were related.
OFT quilted the house and was
seen no more until he was taken to
the morgue corpse. II was at first
supposed he had committed suicide
but the coroner could find no evil
dence of poison.
Miss Neumeister left home Sum
day afternoon. Yesterday she was
picked up out Of the lake. Late
Tuesday night she was identified.

WATER OVER
IL FEET DEEP
MIDDLESBDR0, KENTUCKY
Suffers Damage of $1,OO0,OO0-
Many Stores and Other
Buildings Inundated

Middlesboro, April 5.-Water five to
twelve feet deep completely covered the
main business section of this place
early this morning Rains continued
heavy during last night. Shortly af-
ter midnight the stage of the water
reached its highest. In many of the
business houses on the main street
water was five or six inches on tie
lower floors. The damage to stocks Of
merchandise was not very serious, as
many merchants realized flood was
inevitable and moved their merchan-
disc to upper floors. The state road
was badly damaged by the high water,
and it will require several thousand
dollars to place it in good condition.
A trestle on the Southern railway, be-
tween this place and the Winona coal
mines was swept away. In many in
stances men stayed up all night wait
ing for the water to reach its highest
before they were contented to retire.
Traffic on all roads leading into Mid
dlesboro is practically at a standstill.

COLLISION NARROWLY
AVERTED YESTERDAY

1t was bound to happen. Hence it
happened. Personally, the COW her
selfis not half as bad as the cow ques :
ton. Answering a recent inquiry as
to the ordinance to be promulgated
against our kline, we beg to state that
the cow is domesticated four footed
beast, which supplies TO man such ar
ticles as beef, leather, glue, butter,
cheese, ice. cream, wobbly-legged calves
and sometimes milk. She was the
mother of the golden image worShipped
by the Children of Israel, the wife of
the steed that drew Buddha's chariot,
and is the direct lineal descendant of
hthyosauranlcalus. In order to
obtain beef, the COW is generally very
seriously injured and the desired hunk
of meat is extracted from her person
while she is permanently unconscious
Milk may be extracted by manual la
Dor with the cows consent, on an aver
age of twice per day, without injury to
to the COW, provided you know how
and the calf is locked up somewhere
else.
But we started to tell what happened
or what somebody said, happened, any
way. Way down near the source Of
the car line, oar going west and a
COW travelling east, sought to pass with
out either of them getting off the track.
1t was single track, but the COW
really should have had the right of
way. The car was not damaged;
neither was the COW. Poor girl, she's
used to all kinds of hard knocks here
of late, so she just turned and switched
her tail, and the impolite car stopped
until she got good and ready to turn
aside. OF course, the car had motor-
man, conductor and bell; the COW didn't
have either one. Understand, we do
not advocate motormen, conductors
and bells for cows; conductors and
bells would be enough. We rather ad-
vocate that during the rush hours for
cows, when going to and from home,
the street cars be stopped so as to avoid
any unpleasantness.

ACCORDING TO REPORTS
Upon Examination The Physician
Claimed 1t Showed Pres
ence of Poison

Bulls Gap, April 5.-Mrs. Melvin
Beckner died recently, and it is now
claimed that her death was the result
of poison by Brsenic or some other
deadly drug. According to reports,
Mrs. Beckner was stricken i'll after she
had eaten breakfast, and she suffered
violently until death came. Four
guests at Mrs. Beckner's home were

they have recovered. Later two men
who dined at the Beckner home be-
came i'll, and physician who attended
them pronounced they suffered from
poisoning.
Upon examination of the coffee mill
at the Beckner home, the physician

her she acted very babylike, and tried
to land an uppercut with microscopic

couldn't. But, being very good SUBJ

WHIPS ROBBER
WITH A HAT PIN

New York, April Miss Hannah
Krotchvill threw up her hands early
today when highwayman thrust a
pistol in her face, but her action was
not in token of surrender. On the
contrary, the young woman, who was
held up on Lexington avenue, pulled
out two wicked looking hat pins and
began vigorously jabbing her assailant,
one lunge that punctured the robbers
arm evidently took the fight out of
him for he wheeled and took to fight.
Miss Krotchvill started in pursuit,
screaming for help, but handicapped
by skirt built more or less on the
lines of the hobble, she was losing
ground when Others took up the chase
and the hold-up man was captured.

SOME THING ABOUT
THE GREAT Snowman

Otto Rlngling, second in age of the
five Ringing brothers who control all
of the larger circuses in this country,
who died suddenly last Friday, was the
third of seven brothers; the eldest was
Albert Ringing; the second, Augustus
Ringing, who died in New Orleans
about three years ago; the fourth,
Charles Ringing; the fifth, Alfred T.
Ringing; the sixth, John Ringling,
and the sex enth, Henry Ringing. The
firm of Ringing Brothers comprised
five of the seven brothers, Augustus
and Henry not being members of the
firm. In 1884 the five brothers, COM
prising the firm, were engaged in har-
ness making at McGregor, Iowa. The
family was of Alsntian aud Huguenot
parentage and was extremely musical,
each member being master of one or
more musical instruments.
They began their career as showmen
by giving concert tours through the
towns of Iowa and Wisconsin, and
eventually went into the circus bust
ness. Their strides in their latest yo-
cation were extremely rapid, and in the
brief period of seventeen years they be-
came masters of the show world. The
surviving brothers all credit Ouo Ring.
ling with being the lieutenant general
of the family. He was a master of de.
tail, and there is no business in The
world where there is so much of this :
element as in the circus business. He
was also man of great ideas and am.
bition, and an executive of force and
character.
Personally, Otto Ringing was almost
a recluse. He was bachelor and his
only love was the shows that he and
his brothers owned. His ambition was
and the requirement of the
Barnum q Bailey show was the cap
to the ambition which crowned the eff
tort of his life. The other four brothers
Of the firm were all more or less spec
alists in the various departments
heir several shows. Otto Ringing was
he general who assembled all the
'orces and directed, with the assent of
his brothers, toward the achievement
Of the victories which gave them at
asst the complete mastery of the circus
world. Beside this and the show that
bears their name, the brothers own the
Forepaughs-Sells show.
Otto Ringing was regarded by his
brothers as distinctly the financier of
The family, although in this respect
each of the brothers shared his genius.
He had three hobbies horses, books
and mathematics-two practical and
Jhe other largely sentimental. lie was
4 wide reader, especially familiar with
history and the classics of literature,
and If he had any pride ut all it Was
his knowledge OF current literature. His
private car, attached to the show train,
and extensive library, and
re was fully acquainted with its con-
ents. He will be remembered by all
Who knew him as one of the great show
men of America.
