Some Clever Detective Work
The many clues presented by the
amateur detectives and by the parents
and friends of missing girls as to the
possible identity of the murdered
young woman did not lead the men
under Inspector Faurot astray and a
clever piece of detective work finally
led to the clearing up of the mys-
terry.
Inspector Faurot had assigned De-
tectives James O'Neill, Frank Cassassa
and Richard McKenna to locate the
house or flat where the murder was
committed. They made house TO
house search in the vicinity of the
store of George Sachs, in Eighth ave-
nue., where was purchased the pillow
slip in which parts of the body We're
wrapped. In this same locality the tar
paper found with parts of the torso
was purchased. 1t was learned.
Sachs records revealed that the only
$ pillowslip of the description. not pre-
vious1y traced, had been sent to a pur-
chaser at the Bradhurst avenue ad-
dress. On Saturday the detectives
learned that the third floor rear apart
ment had been rented recently, but the
occupants had not been seen for sew
eral days.
An Inspection of the flat convinced
them that they had found the apart
ment where the river victims body was
dissected. On the floor were blood
stains and articles of wearing apparel
and baggage.
.l1 In the flat were two trunks and a
aatchel, the property of Miss Aumul-
Ter, as we'll as letters that connected
her with the rectory of the st. Boni- :
face church. Armed with this informa- :
tion and a description from the super
intendent of the apartment mouse of

detectives interviewed Father Braun,
rector OF st. Boniface.
From Father Braun the detectives
learned that Miss Aumuller left his
employ two weeks ago and that Faith

there. had shown unusual interest in
the girl Piecing their threads of evil
dence together. the detectives delved
into the life of Father Schmidt, and
last night laid their facts before In

Schmidt's Arrest Follows
with the three detectives and his
+. secretary, Inspector Faurot went over
the evidence and at an early hour this
morning they arrived at the rectory
< of st. Josephs church. The arrest OF
Schmidt followed few moments later

EAGLES PRODUCE A
 REMARKABLE MINSTREL
SHOW LAST NIGHT WAS BIG HIT AND BEST HOME TALENT
 EVER GAVE.

Every promise made relative to the Eagles minstrel show was more than realized last night, when, to a large audience, home talent handed their friends a remarkably good minstrel performance. In fact, it was the best attraction of its kind home talent has ever attempted
 The opening scene represened a big cabaret, with the guests assembled and the walters were the lblack-face come dians. The show opened with snap and ginger and there wasn't a dull mo- ment in it. Each number was encored time and again and those participat- ing surprised their friends at tine clev- CT manner in which they put their songs across. The jokes were all lo- caliZed and pertained to well-knOwn residents and present conditions ana were one of the many interesting fea- lures of the evenings entertainment.
 It is doubtful if Hot Springs has better local talent than represented by Beaulah Green. Clara Walters. Ma garet Ehrheart, Dorothy Graham and Anna Mills, all of whom sang most ac- ceptably The men, too were equally good. Little Red" Relyea scored a big hit, assisted by Misses Green and Walters; Ralph Keim's song also went big, as did the comedy and song of Alfred Schich Smith and Keefe, the two clever boys of the New York cab aret: Will Vale, Rob Houghton, Bert Cecil Elmer HoXey and Frank Ritter. while the comedy and song of good old reliable Jack Goodine was up to its usual mark of excellence Walter Nj. Ebel was the head waiter or inter locmor and his inrroductons were most appropriate while he materially assisted in working up" the Tespec tive jokes. The ol0 also contained some excellent features. E iedy the show made he greatest hit of any home talent production the city haa ever seen.

MRS. W. W. LAKE

 and Well.

Mrs. W. W. Lake of Aberdeen Miss, says: 'The grippe had left me in weak, rundown condition from which I suffered for some time. tried different remedies but nothing seemed to do me any good until I took Vinol, from which I received great benefit. My cough is almost entirely gone and I am strong and well again. and I am glad to recon mend Vinol 10 others who suffer as I did"
 Mrs. Lakes recovery was due to the combined action of the medicinal elements extracted from cods' flyers combined with the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained in Vinol, and her cough disappeared as a natural result.
