YOUNG GIRL SPIRITED AWAY
TRAFFIC MAY BE REGULARLY
 CARRIED ON IN ST. LOUIS.
Child, IA, Jumps from Window of Mis- sion home-Victims Secured
 from Charitable institutions.

St. Louis, July 1S.-Flora Fasnut jumped from a window in the Union Mission home at Garrison and Mor- gan street and Harvey Moore, a 12- year-old boy aided her in the escape. The police believe that the slavers will take the girl to East St. Louis and after a mock marriage ceremony will lead her to ruin.
 An investigation by the police shows that one of the abductors had sent his baggage to an immoral resort and it is their belief that the girl will be lured to this place.
 Harvey Moore, an inmate of the religious refuge home, told Pastor Gott that three men had attended the revival services held on the lawn of the home and had attempted to be- come acquainted with the girls. Fail ing in this they wrote letters to sev- eral of the girl inmates of the home and on occasions sent presents to them. Two other girls beside Flora Fasnut were being enmeshed by the slavers, according to the boys state ments.
 Dr Gott has notified the clerks in marriage license offices here and in the vicinity to refuse a license should the girl appear.
 An investigation made by the DO lice proves that many men engaged in the immoral traffic are recruiting places of evil from charitable organ. izations. St Louis is infested with men who make their business the traf fife in innocent girls.

READS OWN DEATH NOTICE
Officer Accused of Forging Death Ger tificate for Insurance Kills
 Himself.

Atchison, Kan, July 1S.-Accident. ally running across lodge paper two years old, Charles Thompson of Port land, Ore, formerly of this city and still a member of the order of which the paper is the organ, found therein a notice of his own death. Reading further, he saw notice that the S2,000 insurance which he carried had been paid. to his heirs.
 All of that was considerable news to Thompson and he began an inves- tigatiOn which led to the discovery that M. M. Mishler, financier officer of the local lodge of the A. o. U. w., had forged the death certificate and col lected the $2,000.
 Mishler was arrested but as soon as he was released on bond he shot and killed himself An examination of his books showed that he had begun a systematic robbery of his order by the forging of death certificates of members of the lodge who had moved to distant cities but who still kept up their membership in the local lodge.

its victims have been attacked and slowly drawn to their death. In all nine cases that are known the malady first shows it's presence in severe cramps that have their beginning in the lower limbs. Then follows high fever. knowledge of which, it is said, medical science admits. ignorance.
 After the fever the quickly-stricken victim is once more attacked by the cramps. These spread to the upper limbs, and after the entire body has been converted into a rigid piece of flesh, death relieves the sufferer With in a few moments after death the strangest part of the malady, if that it may be called, occurs. The body suddenly relaxes and huge blotches of color spread over it. These spots seem to lie deeper than the skin and have been noticed on the animals that have met death by dozens on the Iarm.
 Is the agency of death one of na- ture or of man? If of man, then a mind many times more capable and more fiendish has been developed than was found in the worlds arch mur- deress," Belle Guinness.

HEAVY RAINS CAUSE DAMAGE
Des Peres River Is 500 Feet Wide at One Point-DweIlings
 Are Flooded.

St. Louis, July 18.-St. Louis county was visited by one of the heaviest rainstoTms in it's history early Wednesday, A torrential downpour filled streets, washed them clear of their outer coverings, ruined lawns, flooded cellars and filled the River des Peres and small creeks to overfoWing.
 The heaviest damage was reported from Bartold's Grove, between the Manchester and Hanley roads, west of Maplewood. The Des Peres at that point was GOO feet wide.
 At Edgebrook, settlement on the Laclede road south of Maplewood, a small creek rose out of it's banks and flooded dwellings, A settlement of Italian laborers one and a half miles south of Clayton was damaged by water that covered the first floor of '25 houses.

VICTIMS BECOME PARAuYZED AND FINALLY DIE IN GREAT
 AGONY.
PHYSICIANS ARE PUZZLED
Strange Malady That Seizes People and Animals Alike Near Mount Vernon, IIlnois-Victims
 Grow Thin and Die.

Mount Vernon, H., July 1S.-Death, nine victims on a Farm of Death" near here. Its latest victim, Jack Alderman last of the nine residents on tie farm who have been stricken down, died as have the other eight and thus far their deaths have mys- tery as their only explanation.
 Ackerman's death has aroused this district to a frantic effort to learn the nature of the death malady that has stricken all of the residents of the farm. Godfrey Palm, his wife and two children, died just previous to the advent of Alderman there Be- fore them were four others who died in the same fashion on the Farm of Death, as it has recently been called.
 And the symptoms of the disease? They are the most remarkable, it is said, that physicians ever have noted. Men and animals alike seem to be stricken upon the death dealing land of the farm There seems to be no beginning to the acquiring of the dis ease. The victims begin quite slowly to discover that their bodies are grad ually wasting away. They grow thin and the cause cannot be determined.
 Seized with Paralysis.
 Then a sudden paralysis seizes on the victim and death comes quickly, complicated with suffering derived from many auxiliary disarrange ments. And in every case the body after death becomes strangely spot ted It is a part of the witchery of the agency of death that strikes alone on the land of Death Farm"
 Far in advance in the elements of horror is this mystery of Mount Yer non to that of the once notorious murder farm of La Porte, Ind. When the news first was given out of the atrocities committed on the lonely farm by the arch-murderess, Mrs. Gunness, the reading public was crazed with the viciousness of her acts When it was learned that on the night of April 2S, 1908, she had been murdered by her partner in crime, Ray Lamphere, and that her body had been burned in the very home in which she had cared for her children, done her knitting and mur- dered many persons, the entire world breathed with gratefulness at the retribution that had overtaken her.
 Disease Is Puzzle.
 But this terrible series of crimes or maladies at Mount Vernon seems to have neither method of solution nor possibility of retribution. Those who have been stricken down upon the farm have been forced to die in igno- rance of the cause of their death, and unless the mystery soon is cleared it seems likely that many other oppor- tunities will be granted the agent of death for his work.
 The farm is situated within a milo of Mount Vernon. On all sides there is the peace and happiness of life, but within the boundaries of the farm itself there always has been death
 And death in all of the nine cases has been of the most horrible nature All that is known of the fatal potency of the ~,e Q is the ranner in which -' .~'" AN.'' A--

This year a little clique up town
seems to have fixed up the slate for
the whole city. Tickets were written
up for each precinct and henchman
in each precinct rustled out what peo-
pie he could trust to take instructions.
The result was that the slate went
through in most instances and the
slate makers thought they had turn
ed a neat trick. They had absolutely
no opposition as nothing so raw has
been attempted here in many years.
The work was especially coarse ir
