Chicaso.-A quadruple murder com.
mitted with an Ak was reported in the
suburb OF Blue Island. The victims
were a man and his wife, their mar
ried daughter and her child. The re-
port to the coroner indicated they
were slain as they slept. The victims
were Jacob Neslesa, a German laborer
aged SO years; his wife; their daugh-
ter aged 25 years and the latter's in
fant child.
Whether the butchery was the work
OF maniac or of a person seeking re-
venge was not disclosed in the first
cursory investigation. 1t was learned
that the young mother had been liv.
In gaway from her husband for a year
and efforts to find him were begun.
The murderer. according to Benja-
min Knirsch. chief of police OF Blue
Island, proceeded with great delibera-
tion. Nothing was taken from the
house. 1t was the home of a laborer.
and the few trinkets the inmates
boasted were Of slight value.
The crime was discovered by Jacob
Neslesla, Jr., a son of the old couple.
He told the police his sisters hus-
bands name was Hamilton.
The murderer is believed to be the
mysterious axman who started his red
career at Colorado Springs several
years ago. Six persons, members of
two families. were slain there one
night. their heads crushed in with an
az. The crime was the first of many
unsolved murders that since have baf-
fled the police Of the country.

CHAMBERLAIN IS DEAD
BRITISH MOURN GREAT LEADER
WHO WAS GLAOsToNE's
OPPONENT.
Champion Of Tariff Reform and Man
Who melted soer War, Suffered
From Paralytie Stroke.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-The Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain. for years the most COM
manding figure in British national and
international politics. died here at his
home in Princes Garden, s. w.
Chamberlain succumbed after a pro-
tracted illness which for years de-
barred him from an active part In pub
lie affairs. Several months ago he an
nounced that he would not again stand
for reelection to Parliament, and for
several years, on account Of his age
and feebleness. he seldom was seen on
the floor of the Commons, where his
tall form-and the ever-present mono
Gle in his eye-made him landmark.
Chamberlain was born in 1886 In the
city of Birmingham. which fer many
years he held. politically, in the hollow
of his hand. He was variously known
as "Brummagem Joe" and as the King
of Birmingham" His power in the mid
land city was almost absolute. All the
seven parliamentary seats OF the great
City al . ASAu " OAAs~AAA
berlain nominees and politician ne
opposed was simply wasting time when
he made the race for Parliament.
Chamberlain had huge commercial
interests throughout England and was
enormously wealthy.
Chamberlain was thrice married, his
last wife, who until his death nursed
him with rare solicitude. being Mary.
only daughter of Judge w. c. Endicott.
who was secretary of war In the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland.
The dead statesman started political
life as Radical, but left Gladstone's
party on the question OF home rule for
Ireland, to which he was bitterly op-
posed. He held the highest posts IN
conservative administrations and was
secretary to the colonies from 1895 to
1903.
While Chamberlain's greatest claim
to fame was his determined and bril-
liant advocacy for years OF protect
i've policy for Great Britain, the citar
del of free trade, he Will also be re-
remembered as the bitterest and most
forceful opponent Of Gladstone in that
statesmans efforts for home rule for
Ireland: as one Of the founders OF the
Liberal Unionist party. and as the min
lister whose policy in South Africa In
volved his country in the greatest war
1t had experienced since the Crimean
conflict, but blotted out the two boer
republics and made South Africa "all
red"
1t is reported that King George is
likely posthumously to honor Joseph
Chamberlain by comforting a title on
his widow, formerly Mary Endicott,
daughter of the late William c. Endi-
colt of Salem, Massachusetts. Mr..
Chamberlain himself persistentiy re-
fused to accept any title.
The Dean of Westminster offered to
the family interment in Westminster
Abbey for the dead statesman, but
his relatives decided to abide by bis
wishes and have him buried at Blrm-
ingham.

Berlin, via The Hague and London,
Nov 1.-The German general stan
was highly pleased with the report OF
Fridays fighting and the announce
ment that the allies had been thrown
back across the Aisne near scissors
and that the Germans had reached po-
sitions to the west of Verdun.
This was described as the most
promising news received for some
time.
I'VE have finally started the stone
rolling" said one officer commenting
on the official statement issued Sat
urday.
Major Moraht, military correspond
ent of the Berliner Tageblatt, points
out that scissors is the point on the
long battle line that is nearest Paris
being only so miles distant.
He adds that the allies may learn
from this success that the German
front has not been weakened at any
/ point while daily reports of allies re

French are making to prevent the In
