Says Turner Igo Murdered Goebel. Turner Igo, of Farmers, Rowan County, Kentucky, is charged with the killing of Governor William Goebel, of Kentucky, in an affidavit filed by Mrs. Lulu Clark at Indianapolis, Ind., on April 11. She has a cousin named Gertrude King, who lived at Maysville at the time of Gcebel's murder. Miss King was at that time keeping company with John Sanford, of CovingVn, Ky. Upon the day of the Goebel murder the two girls went to Frankfort, Ky. They started to enter the State House by the rear entrance and when on the steps a shot was fired. At the same time they noticed a man standing just inside the door whom they recognized as Sanford. In a minute a second man came running out of the building dressed like a mountaineer and carrying a rifle. He ran to Sanford and said: "I got the The man was recognized by the affiant as her friend, Turner Igo, of Farmers, Rowan County, Kentucky. Shoe Factory Workers on Strike. A dispatch from St Louis, Mo., says that a conservative estimate places the number of stiikers who are out as a result of the general strike instituted by the shoe factory workers at 23,000. Letters were sent to the managen! ent of each of the eighteen shoe manufacturers affected announcing the demands of the strikers and offering to meet their former employers for the purpose of affecting a settlement. The demands comprise a nine-hour work day throughout the shop, the rate of pay to remain on the basis of the ten-hour work day. The officers of the companies operating the eighteen factories at a recent meeting decided not to accede to any demands- made by the strikers. It was agreed that a committee should be appointed to conduct the employers side of the controTersy. Murder Suspect Arrested. .

MARINE WRECKS ARE FEW. Not a Disastrous One Has Occurred On Great Lakes in 1007 Marine men on the Great Lakes are this season congratulating themselves and hoping that the remarkable record, with regard to wrecks, will continue to the close. Hut at the same time tbey quietly whisper, cne to the other, "Beware the ides of November," for Nov. 2S has not yet arrired. Upon that fateful Nov. 2S, 1905, the most extensive and costly series of wrecks in the history of marine navigation in the world occurred on Lake Superior, when nineteen great freighters, nearly all modern steel craft owned by the United States Steel Corporation, was wrecked, causing the loss of numerous lives and in cash a loss of $.",373.000, ? 4,G2.",000 of which was on hulls, and the remainder on cargoes. It is with a shudder that marine men recall the lake disasters of Sept. 1, Oct. 20 and Nov. 28, 1905. In three storms upon those dates 11G persons were lost out of a total of 124 for that entire season. This tremendous loss of life on tae lakes in one season is better understood when the following records are given : In 1895 the list of lost on the lakes was but GC; in 1S97, 8S; in 1S98, 95; in lS9t, an even 100; in 1900, 110; in 1901, 122; in 1902. 140; in 1903, 94, and in 1904, 49; and then came the unprecedented total of 215 lives lost, the following season, of which number 124 were drowned or killed in storms. Marine men are hoping for the best this season, as thus far there has not been a serious loss on the lakes. Not a vessel of importance on the great lakes has this season gone out of existence. During the fateful season of 1905 a total of seventynine vessels went out of existence. In view of the immense amount of salvage, which goes down with every wrecked vessel, it is regarded as strange that there is only a percentage of wrecked vessels that are even touched by wreckers. In case of the tremendous loss of nineteen modern steel freighters on Lake Superior, in 190.", all but the Lafayette and Madera were overhauled for salvage during the following season. $9,000,000 GRAFT SCANDAL. Pennsylvania Politicians and Contractors Must Face Trial. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of John II. Sanderson, George F. IVyne, Charles F. Wetter and II. Burd Cassel, contractors; Joseph M.

This ncludes all the persons mentioned in the investigation commission report extept ex-State Treasurer Harris, ex-Audi-:or General Hardenborough and two others. ' NEW HIGH EXPLOSIVE. Greater Damage Can Be Done by Latest Discovery. The Navy Department has adopted a lew high explosive for use as a bursting :harge for armor piercing shells. The oasis of this new explosive is understood to be oicrate of ammonia. This is one 9t the developments in the test conducted ander the special ordnance board, which nas been giving its attention during the last) two years - to powders, projectiles, fuses and other ordnance material. The tests held at Indian Head proving grounds showed that the new explosive effected lamage beyond that accomplished by other ihells. The explosive is described as rlosely resembling the Japanese "shimose. This adoption of high explosive :s one of the most important events in many years under the Navy Department

JAPAN TAKES UNCLAIMED ISLE. Asserts that Pratas, Which She Seized, Was "No Man's Land." According to advices from Tokio, Japan claims the right to occupy Tratas island, which was recently taken possession of on behalf of Japan, on the ground that as it lies between the 20th and 21st parallels it is no man's land. A Japanese paper, just received, says : "When Japan took possession of Formosa she extended her dominion to the 21st parallel of latitude, and when America took possession of the Philippiues she extended her dominion to the 20th parallel; thus the space between the 20th and the 21st parallels becomes a no man's land and the Island of Pratas is in north latitude 20 degrees and 43 minutes." ESKIMOS ARE SUFFERING. Failure of Fisheries , on Northern Labrador Coast Causes Hardship. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the wellknown missionary, who for the last month has been cruising on the mission yacht Strathcona along the northern Labrador coast, reports much suffering among the Eskimo settlements of that district because of the failure of the fisheries during the season. Native fishermen were fairly successful, except in the North, but the visiting fleet of several hundred vessels, most of them from Newfoundland, met misfortune. Among the vessels which visited the coast this summer was a German warship, which supplied the Moravian missionaries. Leap Into River and Drown. P:Ic-stricken when an overloaded barge in which they were crossing the Allegheny River began to sink, six workmen employed on the United States government dam at Aspinwall, Pa., jumped into the river and were drowned.

Hartman and seriously injuring Fireman A. K. Chinburg. Eagle Carries off a Child. One of the pair of giant bald eagles that nert in a dead chestnut tree on Waukhaw mountain, near Caldwell, N. J., carried 3-year-old Gladys Vrecland to the top of a tall hemlock tree and dropped her into its branches, according to the story told by her father, John Milton Vreeland. Eight-Hour Law Knocked Out. The new law providing an eight-hour dav 'or telegraphers was declared to be unconstitutional by the Circuit Court of Cass c aunty, Mo. The court ruled that Um law is class legislation.

WINS HIS LONG FIGHT

JOHN DIETZ VICTOR OVER LUMBER COMPANY. "Wisconsin Former Comet to Terra After Andaclona Conflict vflth Federal and State Authorities Two-Cent Fare Law la Invalid. Th famous Dietz dam dispute has been settled, and the millions of feet of logs that have been held up by the intrepid defendant of Cameron dam on the Thornapple river, near Winter, Wis., will be rnovi-d at once. The trouble arose over a dispute as to the title to a tract of land covering the Cameron dam of the Thornapple river. Both the Chippewa Log and Room Company and John Dietz claimed title to the land, and Dietz defended the property against all comers. Three different sheriffs failed to capture Dietz. who has gained national fame for his bold act in defying the authorities. The settlement was made between Mr. Dietz's brother and W. L. Moses of Chippewa Falls. . The latter took the contract to move the logs that have been tied up by Dietz for over two j-ears down the river to the Chippewa Log and Room Company's sawmill at Chippewa Falls for a consideration of $30,000. It is claimed that of this sum he gave Dietz $13,000 for permission to drive the logs through Dietz's dam on the Thornapple river. SALVADOR NAVY DESERTS.

Salvador. As Chief Engineer George R. Lindsay walked from the President along the wharf at Acajutla to the City of Para he defied the soldiers of President Figueroa to interfere with them, waving as a sign of his immunity his international certificate as an engineer. There was trouble aboard the President before she sailed from San Francisco, and when Lindsay delivered the President at Acajutla he was ready to resign. With him was the whole crew. Lindsay says the Salvadoreans tried to get his men drunk, but failed. Lindsay promised to meet the governor at Acajutla, but instead he and his party went on board the City of Para and sailed for home. HOLDS 2-CENT FARE LAW CRIME. Pennsylvania Judge, In Knocking It Out, Uses Strong Language. The 2-cent fare law enacted at the recent session of the Pennsylvania Legislature was adjudged inralid, unconstitutional and void in its application' to the Susquehanna River and Western Railway Company, which connects Duncannon and Bloomfield, in an opinion delivered at Rloomfield by Judge Shull of the Perry County Court. The law, he declared in his decree, is a caprice of a Legislature, "many of whose members, without rhyme or reaspn, facts or figures, information or reputation, pledged to perform the act in the name of 'Reform,' " atd that "we might say of reform as was sail by Mme. Roland of Liberty in the days of the French revolution: 'Oh, Liberty, Liberty, how many crimes are committed in thy name.' " ELEVEN KILLED IN MINE. Cage Containing 18 Hen Falls 660 Feet in Negaunee, Mich. A cage containing eighteen miners plunged GOO feet down the shaft of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company mine at Negaunee, Mich. Eleven of the men in the car were killed, and the others were injured so badly that their death is expected.

Rockefeller, Jr., will cease to be the leader of the Young Men's Bible Class of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in New York Oct. 1. He has resigned and his resignation has been accepted. Increasing demands of business and fear of a recurrence of ill health are the reasons given by him in a letter to the class. Thirty Drown in Japan Flood. Thirty persons were drowned and 100 houses burned in the Kosakabl mine, near Kotaru, Japan. A fire started in the mining works and while attempts were being made to save the mine the water reservoir was broken, flooding part of the village. Many women and children were among the victims.

Hall, writing in the August Technical World Magazine, assorts that Prof. George Poe of South Norfolk, Va., is able to restore life to apparently dead animals, his treatment being based upon the wellknown method of forcing oxj-gen into the lungs. For this purpose he has devised an artificial respirator, modeled in nil respects after nature. It embraces two small cylinders, each having an inlet and an outlet, with which plungers work simultaneously, and from which tubes are conducted to the nostrils or mouth of tbe patient. One cylinder is supplied with oxygen, and the outlet of the other discharges directly into the atmosphere. The plungers are worked by hand and timed according to normal respiration. Thus in one movement noxious gases from the lungs are drawn into one cylinder, while the next movement forces oxygen from the other cylinder into the lungs. This device has been patented and will soon be upon the market. PhotoRraphlnK TbouR-ht. Dr. Hippolyte Baraduc, a noted French physician, has recently published a series of photographs purporting to represent different thoughts or prayers, thus offering some confirmation to the theories of the Theosophists.

AT PANAMA.

Work Progressing on the Biff Dam and Other Slain 1 "eat n reu. The work on the locks and dams at Panama has taken such shape tb::t it is now iosslbIe to see something of their form. It is believed that the actual masonry work can bo commenced at the Gatuu locks within eighteen months. Four steam shovels are now dicing out the sites for the locks, and construction can be begun after the excavation for the top lock of the flight is completed. Two steam shovels are preparing the site for the erection of the spillway works of the Gatun dam. Railroad trestles are being erected across the liue that will mark the inside and outside boundaries of the big dam, and from one of these dirt trains are now dumping dirt upon the site of the dam. Preparatory to the Installation of pipeline dredges, by which more rapid work on the dam will be possible, the Charges River has been diverted from its main channel and dammed. The pipeline dredges should be installed by January 1, when the work at Gatun will be as actively in progress as that at Culebra. Suitable sand and rock for the big masonry locks have been located, and, what is equally Interesting to the engineers, material for the manufacture of all the necessary cement has been located on the Isthmus. It 1 hoied, however, that cement can be secured for such a price In the United States as to make It more advisable to procure the needed supply there Instead of manufacturing It on the Isthmus. The general features, designs and details of the Gatun and other -Jocks have been worked out, together with the general tyie aud number of lock gates to be used. The survey of all the country to be converted into tbe great Gatun lake has been completed and finished reports show that tbe area will be 171 square miles. Coat of Living in lOOO. A summary of the report just sent to the printer by the United States Bureau of Labor, of which Charles P. Neill is the head, covering the year 1000, shows that the prices of food were generally higher during every month of that year than in the corresponding month of 1903. The price in December was -1 8-10ths per cent higher than the nvenyie for the year 11HXJ, and the year as a whole showed a higher average than any since 1890, the period covered by the bureau's investigation. The increase of hist year applied unequally to twenty-five of the thirty articles showing the greatest advance were l.i rd, evaporated apples, pork, bacon, ham, fish, mutton and butter. The retail prices of food were 2 0-10ths per cent higher than in the previous year. The report deals also with the que?t!oi of wages for manual workers, and g'ves figures showing that the advance in wapes per hour over the preceding year was greater than the advance in the iera!l prices of food. That is to saj in pur chasing power of an hour's wages as measure! by food was greater last year than the year before. The increase in this purchasing power was 1 4-10ihs per cent. As compared with the ten years average from 1S0O to 1899, the wages per hour were 24 2-10ths per cent higher, and the number of employes 429-10tln i-r cent greater, and the average hours of labor a week 4 0-10ths per cent low r. In the principal manufacturing industries of the country the average wages were 4 5-10ths per cent higher than in 1903. The greatest increase was in the manufacture of cotton goods, where the vages were 112-10ths per cent higher, and in only one industry, that ' of paper and wood pulp, was there a decrease, namely 1 1-lOth per cenFarmer to Fight Grain Trnt. Open war has broken out between the so-called grain trust and th farmers of the Middle West. The farmers sty they have raid $1,000,000 a year tribute to the grain trust, and have been organizing, until now co-operative elevators are in 'operation all over Iowa and are b;:ng extended into Minnesota and Nebraska. Their organization possesses a $."0,000,000 reserve fund, while back of the trust sands the wealth of the Armours and other millionaire capitalists. The co operative elevators will get all of the grain of their own members, but, in order to win, must also get some of the grain from outsiders, thus crippling th- trust. There are now 170 farmers co-operative societies in Iowa alone, with a total membership of 28,000, operating 2r0 elovators. Also, the merchants of tho Nonhwest are organizing a co-operative association to combat the mail order houses, the merchants so organized agreeing to advertise under one management, in order to lessen the expense and secure an expert manager. This movement is of great economic importance. Why American Marriage! Fall. Again a woman is finding fault with American wives and complaining of the failure of American marriages. This time it is Anna A. Rogers in the Atlantic Monthly, who says that "tbe excessive education and excessive phyeal coddling of young women," and their demotion to physical culture and sports, has evolved a hybrid feminine who is a cross between a magnified, rather unmannerly boy and a spoiled,, exacting creature who sincerely loves herself alone.' Thus, explains this sociologist, a slipshod, unchivalrous companionship" has grown up between the sexes which after marriage is found, to be "a cause for tears or temper." One contributory cause, she says, is the existence of 2,921 courts empowered to grant divorces. From Far and Near A thousand dock laborers are on strike at Galveston, Texas. Traffic on the Southern Pacific is tied up. Miss Helen Williams of Allegheny, Pa., was killed and four other persons were injured in an automobile accident in Pittsburg. William A. Culp, aged 24, awaiting ttial for the death' of his brother, Floyd CCulp, last July at Turtle Creek, Pa., committed suicide in the county jail at Pittsburg by hanging himself, using his suspenders as a rope. Dr. Longstaffe, who is mountaineering in the Himalayas with two guides and a Gmkba officer has reached the summit of Trisul, 28,400 feet. This is the record f: the Himalayas. More persons crossed the Atlantic ocean from this side during the first six months of the present year than during any other similar period. There were 31,000 steerage passengers in that time. The latest figures available, those for June, show that the gross earnings of railroads operating over 00,1500 miles amounted in that month to $S2,0."k;.3ÖO, the gain over June, 1900, being $9,700,42.!. or li.4 per cent. Where the trouble is physical, such as failure of an organ, indigestion, congestion or the liver and so on, strong, firm, martial music will give best results, according Jo Dr. Latson, editor of Health Culture? For this class of treatment the key of C major is particularly recommended. Germany's war in southwest Africa has ?ost $50,000,000, which has been spent overcoming the resistance of one or two native tribes. Eighty-six commissioned officers were killed and the non-commissioned officers numbered 229; rank and file, 1,1C7; total, 1.4S2. Among the coloLial troops 10 officers and 193 men perished.

CIAL CHICAGO. While th?re is a more conservative tone permeating business circles, fall activity in the lea-ling industries is more defined and of encouraging magnitude. Production reflects no appreciable falling off, but operations would be conducted with greater ease were the tension less in noney and cost of supplies. Transportation facilities by both rail and lake are severely tested by increased general freight offerings and marketing of crops, and with this gratifying condition in evidence it is not clear that commerce is undergoing shrinkage. New demands continue strong for factory materials to complete contracts which run far ahead, especially in steel, forgo, car and machinery construction. The most active branch at present is that of staple merchandise, the absorption of which is remarkably strong and comparing favorably with a year ago in textiles, footwear and food products. The attendance of visiting buyers includes many from distant points, and their liberal orders indicate sustained confidence for satisfactory sales throughout the agricultural communities. Local retail distribution is of seasonable extent. Mercantile collections in the West occasion little complaint, and defaults compare favorably with last year in both nnmbers and liabilities. Marketings of crops indicate that growers are disposed to secure the current high returns. The general demand for breadstuffs is well sustained and the shipments run heavier than a year ago. Live stock and provisions are in ample supply and the absorption is good for both domestic and foreign needs. Rank clearings, $243.913,097, exceed those of the corresponding week in 1900 by 15.8 per cent. Failures reported in the Chicago district numbered twenty-three, against twenty-three last week and twenty-two a year ago, those with liabilities over $.V 000 being only two in number. Dun's Review. NEW YORK. Whether attributable to the improvement in the general financial situation or because of favorable weather allowing of additional crop development, there is a perceptibly better feeling in general in commercial lines. Retail trade has hardly, been as brisk as desired or expected, because the warm weather while helping crops, has not stimulated fall buying to any great extent. Reports as to jobbing trade so far this fall are, in the main, favorable, though the undertone of conservatism is still perceptible.

KIDNAPED BY GYPSIES.

Child Slave Escape From Daad After Four Vear Captivity. The flames of the great South Chicago steel mills were the beacons which a few nights ago lighted a kidnaped boy to his home. After four years spent as a child slave of the wandering gypsies 10-year-old Walter Cutler found a safe haven under their glare. The boy was kidnaped four years ago from South Bend, Ind., where his mother and his stepfather, Frank Cullen, lived. Some time before his father, J. II. Cutler, a South Chicago shipyard superintendent, died, leaving a widow and two children, Walter and Flora. A year later the mother married Cullen and went with her husband and family to South Bend. The couple had just settled on the outskirts of the Indiana city when C-year-old Walter was stolen by a band of gypsies. No attempt to secure a ransom was made, and for a year the captive was only a charge to his kidnapers. Then he was taught to care for the horses and children of the gypsies. i Tbe band subsisted by horse trading and fortune telling and was commanded by Chief Joseph Casmir. The captive was abused by tho gypsy children, who regarded him as a slave, and any attempt to resent their cruelty led to more severe beatings by the chief and his followers. He was compelled to sleep and eat with the dogs and was commanded to keep out of sight when visitors came to the camp. The child became tanned to a hue almost as dark as that of his captors, and because of enforced silence he had forgotten all but a few words of khis childhood tongue. During all of his wanderings the boy remembered the great sheets of flame w!iich rose from the scores of stacks in South Chicago at night and which lighted up the yard in which he and his sister played. 4 A short time ago the gypsy band in their wanderings reached the vicinity of Chicago. One night the boy looked out from his place among the dogs and saw the great stacks belching forth sheets of Same and ence more the memories of his home came back to him. lie crept out from among the tented wagons and stumbled out toward the great lights. When dawn came he took refuge under a bush and slept. When he awoke he pressed on again to where hz coald see the great mills. When the boy reached the city he still wag lost. He could not explain his wishes, and for a day he wandered the streets without food. Blind chance led him to the place where his grandmother lived, and in an instant he recognized her. Strike Paralyse Butte. The City of Butte, Mont, for six weeks has been without "'a telephone service on account of a sympathy strike of operators and linemen for some striking linemen in Utah. The courts have sustained mandamus writs against the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Company to compel it to operate its ljnes, but so far as Butte is concerned the company has made no effort to resume service. The telegraphic strike almost completely isolated the city from the outside world. The strike of the mail clerks several months ago left the postoffice service in a badly crippled condition, mail delivery being almost as uncertain as the telegraph. In addition to these troubles the strike of the machinists, who went out about a month ago to enforce a demand for increased pay, is gradually closing down the mines. Cat In Ocean Rate. The war between the transatlantic steamship ' lines was continued, i.h i international Mercantile Marine announcing that first cabin rates from New Yoik 'to Liverpool on such ships as the Baltic. Cedric and Celtic would be $72K), a reduction from $93, and that the eastward rates would be, from now on, $37.50, a reduction from $S0. The rate by tbe Atlantic Transport fleet will be $50, in?tea1 of $70, for first cabin to London, aud the big Adriatic of the White Star line will carry passengers for $77.50, instead cf $93. The Cunard followed suit with a first cabin rate of $72.50, including Mediterranean ports, nad $37.50 on the Umbria and Etruria. Corresponding cuts were expected from the North German LloyJ and Hamburg-American. To Collect SO,000,000 Seed. The forest service will collect 50,000,000 seeds of forest trees in Montana. Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and California from the Douglas fir, Englemann spruce, western larch, incense cedar and yellow pine. The seeds will be used for broadcast sowing and for planting in forest service nurseries. The broadcast sowing will be experimental, to test the extent to which this method of renewing the forest in denuded lands of the West can be used. One method of gathering the seeds is to rob squirrels' nests. It is to be hoped that Uncle Sab will not do this without replacing the hoards of these bright-eyed little rodents with a generous amount of something "just as good to eat." Western Union Stand Pat. The expected conference between the leaders of the striking telegraphers and the Western Union officers did not materialize, and the eexcutive commltte of the company sustained the course of the officials in a formal resolution which referred to the late strike," as though it were a closed incident. President SmrI) of the- union and President Gomperi of the American Federation were ia New Yjrk, and both said that there wouid be no surrender. Small said that most of the telegraphers had got jobs on tbe railroads. The Western Union declared its regular quarterly dividend, as usual, but did not publish the earnings for the quarter, as is customary. Meat Was on Strike Settled. The strike cf the meat wagon drivers of New York against the Employers Association has been settled upon the following terms: Wages are to be the same as before the strike; there is to be no discrimination for or against union or con-union men ; sixty-five hours is to constitute a week's work, and all grievances and the4 question of overtime are to be left to arbitration. None of the competent 6trike breakers are to be discharged to make room for the strikers. Peak Hle from Sen. Dr. C. Eakle and A. B. Meyers, members of an expedition which left Seattle last year in the schooner Lydia to inquire into the formation of Perry Island, have returned to San Francisco. Daring their stay in Alaskan waters the scientists discovered a new peak, which has since been named McCuIloch Peak. By the formation of this peak Terry Island has been transformed into a peninsula connected with Rogoslog Island. Th whole formation is steaming hot. Several earthquakes due to volcanic disturbances which preceded the advent of Mcculloch Peak were felt by both mei. A National Divorce Registry. A proposition discussed by the International Law Association at Portland, Me., is that the divorce decrees .in any State be extended to all through a registry bureau at Washington, and that divorce jurisdiction receive international recognition.

Seidcnberg Stiefel Company of New York, extensive manufacturers of cigars, being ons of the largest of the independent concerns went into bankruptcy the other day, owing to the stringency in the money market. Liabilities were estimated at $173,000.
