CONFESSES; TAKES POISOJT. Kansan Says He Saw Girl Kill Herself. In what he believed was his dying confession Samuel F. Whitlow told the sherofT, the coroner and the county prosecutor in Iola, Kan., that he had been an eyewitness to the suicide of Miss May Sapp. a beautiful girl, whose body was found several days ago in the yard of her father's home, at Moran. The girl's parents, who are wealthy, insist that their daughter was murdered. Their contention, in view of the fact that Whitlow has admitted seeing the girl's throat cut, indicates clearly that they consider him thej .slayer of their daughter. Whitlow's confession followed his unsuccessful attempt to kill himself by drinking wood alcohol. When he had been revived he assured thvj officers that he would repeat his story to the coroner's jury. He is now being guarded to prevent a second attempt at suicide. Whitlow is 40 years of age, and married, and in his statement he asserts that when he was Miss Sapp's teacher in school she conceived an infatuation for him. In spite of the fact that he did not reciprocate her affection, he declares, she urged him on frequent occasions to leave his family and run away with her. He avers that on the night of the tragedy he met her at the rear of her father's house and told her finally that their friendship must cease. When convinced that he was in earnest, he says, the girl drew a razor from Ler dress and cut her throat before he could seize the weapon.

HERO UNABLE TO SAVE BROTHER Eighteen-Year-Old Boy Swims Almost Mile with William Eggler. William Eg I er, 22 years old, was drowned in Lake .Michigan Sunday, under circumstances that repeal his brother Harry, IS years old, in the light of a hero as well as that of a powerful swimmer. Turning Cat Head point, near Traverse City, in an 18-foot launch that they had built themselves, the young men encountered a southwest pale too heavy for them to go forward. In turning back, their boat was capsized and sank, the older brother going down wtih the launch. Harry Egler dived to the bottom, secured hold of his brother's clothing, and, being an expert swimmer, fought his way through the icy water, nearly a mile to the shore. Cold and exhaustion began to overcome him as he was rolling the unconscious form of his brother on a barrel, and he was compelled to leave the dying boy on the beach and run a mile to the nearest farm house for help. There he fell exhausted, after explaining what had occurred, and urging that help be sent instantly to his unconscious brother. It was too laf. however, to resuscitate the older boy, whese heart had stopped beating before assistance reached him. SGO,000 ALTON FINE IS UPHELD. Federal Court of Appeals Sustains Kansas City Rebate Verdict. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago in an opinion handed down Wednesday overruled the plea of the Chicago and Alton road for a rehearing in the Kansas City case in which fines totaling $00,000 were imposed on the railroad and two of its officials for granting rebates to the packing firm of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger. In its petition the Alton had argued that a revere blP.v had been dealt the commercial interests of the country by the action of the lower court. The Alton's defense was that its payments to the packing firm were for the use of the company's industrial tracks. In the opinion written by Judge Grosscup and concurred in by Judges Baker and Seaman, it was stated : "The trouble in this case, however, comes from the fact that the Alton did not take a lease of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger tracks for the purpose of discharging Its undertakings as an interstate common carrier." ON HONEYMOON WITH GRANDMA. Young Man Tells of Remarkable Change in Relationship. Tom Hugh Alison of Manlius, N. Y., who married his grandmother, is in San Francisco on his honeymoon. "My grandfather.

She decided to accept his offer to save the estate for me. That was nearly six years ago. He died a year ago, and the young woman whom I called grandmother became my wife." Bank Robbery Story a Hoax.

EAT THEIR FELLOWS.

CANNIBALS FOUND IN NORTHEASTERN ?ANADA. atlTrs, on Account of Scarcity t Other Food, Subixt on Unman Flesh Jury Think 3S1 Snpp Murdered. Talcs of cannibalism. wholesale murder, awful famine and deadly feuds among the natives of northeastern Canada between the eastern shore of James bay end Iabrador are brought back by J. A. Osborne, the veteran editor of the Fort Francis Times, who has just completed a trip of exploration in that desolate, uninviting country. While at Moose Factory the explorer met a young man who fled thither in trror of his uncle, who, he said, had killed and eaten eight human beings. There, too. lie saw a woman who last winter killed and ate her two children, so great was the famine. The woods seemed almost entirely without the usual number of deer and rabbits, upon which animals the natives ordinarily subsist. As these occurrences did not seem to have -caused any tremendous stir in that region Osborne has come to the conclusion that cannibalism is practiced openly upon many occasions among the Indians and half-breeds. Osborne says th.? Indian and Eskimo population of the region is diminishing rapidly, due partly to emigrati"ii to the coast of Labrador and partly to the prevalence of disease and frequeci, scarcity of food. WATCHMAN FOILS ROBBERS. Counterpart of Looting of Manhattan Bank Narrowly Averted. An cged watchman's faithful performance of his duty, even when death w3 threatened, prevented a robbery in New York which, had it been successful, would have caused a sensation almost as great as that which followed the looting of the Manhattan bank many years ago. Ilichrd F. Grey, watchman in the lofty Century building," 74' Broadway, near tho center of the financial distrct; was the hero. He Is now in the hospital suffering from wounds which he received in a desperate single-handed fight against two robbers who attacked hira while he was making his rounds on the nineteenth floor of the building after midnight. Although CO years old. Grey made a fight against his assailants and it was not until he had been battered until almost unconscious that he was overcome. Even then he refused to reveal to the robbers the tiding place of the keys to the hundreds of offices in the great building. The robbers chloroformed the old man as he lay bleeding on th floor, and then began a search for the keys. Apparently they were unsuccessful in their search, for when Grey revived and staggered down the nineteen flights of stairs to the basement the men had disappeared. HARTJE REOPENS DIVORCE CASE. Claims to Have Letters Proving Previous Charges Against Wife. Interest in thu Hart je divorce case has been revived in Pittsburg by the announcement that a petition has been filed by the plaintiff, August Hartje, a millionaire paper manufacturer, with the justices of the Superior Court. It is said the petition is tte result of the discovery of a package of letters alleged to have been written by the two sisters of Mrs. Ilartje and Thorna Madine, the coachman corespondent, which show that the respondent was guilty of the charges brought against her. Madine is also alleged to have m''e a confession to the attorneys of Mr. Il.irtje and to have turned over to them masses of documentary evidence. HOLD GIRL WAS MURDERED. Coroner's Jury Refuses to Concur in, Suicido Theory. In Iola, Kan., a coroner's jury, which has spent three days in investigating the death of Miss May Sapp,' returned a verdict holding that death resulted from wounds in the neck caused by a sharu instrument "in the hands of a person or persons other than Miss Sapp." Immediately after the verdict wis returned the girl's father swore out a warrant for the arrest of Sanmel 1. Whitlow, the churchman who admitted tiiat he taw the girl commit suicide. ARMY IN NEED OF SUITS. Appropriation of $5,500,000 for Raiment Will Be Asked by Taft. It is understood that Secretary Taft will ask Congress for an appropriation of $5,500,000 for military clothing material needed during the next fiscal year. Appropriations for the last two years were both below the amount to be asked for and in consequence the withdrawal of clothing has beea steady, with disastrous effects upon the reserve supply, leaving practically nothing to meet the emergency. I Driven Out by Oil Combine. The Southwestern Oil Company has suspended business and its $850,000 refinery near Houston, Texas, and other property are up for sale.

BRITAIN'S WAR

Circling over London like a great bird, answering its holm like a ship in a smooth sou, the new English war balloon the other day gave tho str.rtled people the finest exhibition of the possibilities of aerial navigation ever witnessed. In streets below thousands watched the maneuvers too much awed to cheer. The airship starte! from Aidershot and traveled thirty-five miles to London. It sailed over the Thames, informing various maneuvers in a satisfactory manner, circled the city and then returned.

MRS. CHADWICK DEAD. Woman Who Startled Banking World Uiplrrn In I'rlaon. Mrs. Cassia Chadwick, whose financial exploits at one time startled the world, died In the women's ward of the penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio, Thursday night, unattended by any save the prison physician and hospital nurses. The decline in Mrs. Chadwick's health lcg:m almost from the time she entered the penitentiary on Jan. 12, 1900, sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. She fretted incessantly over her confinement and worried about her troubles until it became almost impossible for her to sleep. Her last illness lcgan three weeks ago. She was confined to a cot in the hospital of the women's ward from that time until her death. The financial exploits of Mrs. Chadwick startled the country in the fall of 10C4, when they were brought Into pullicity by means of a receivership suit brought by Herbert B. Newton, of Brookline, Mass., who held some of the spurious securities upon which she had built up a colossal credit.

FALSE EARS FOR KING ED. Artificial Hearing Instrument Sent to Deaf Queen and Kins. Three sets of artificial hearing Instruments have been shipped from New York to Buckingham Palace, Tondon, for the use of King Edward and Queen Alexandra. The latter has long suffereo from deafness, but the fact that King Edward is hard of hearing will be a great surprise to the public generally. The instruments have been made so as to enable the king xnd queen to talk together without the use of a trumpet. The transmitter, or sound concentrator, will be attached to the clothing o! the couple. The sounds are focused on the concentrator In the same manner that the rays of the sun,, are focoused by means of; an ordinary reading glass. At this point of focus is placed a supersensitive microphone, which takes up the focused or magnified sounds and conveys them to the ear by means of a small silkcovered tinsel cord, through which an electric current is conveyed by a small battery to an ear piece, which is held to the ear. The batteries are carried in the pocket, being about three Inches high and one and one-half inches in diameter. The ear piece is somewhat smaller than the ordinary telephone earpiece, but highly sensitized and can be hidden In the hand. The only visible part of the instrument is a portion of the silk cord K-hich cennects the concentrator with thearpiece. The owners of the hull of the excursion stMir.ioat General- Sloemn. which was burned in the harbor at New York in June, 1901, causing the death of more than 1,000 persons, have received permission from the government authorities to change th name of the boat to the Maryland.

BALLOON A SUCCESS.

OCEAN RECORDS SMASHED. Lnftltanta Crosme the Atlantic In Four Dar and Twenty Hoars. The giant turbine steamship Lusitarda is queen of the ocean. She crossed the Atlantic in a little over four days and fifteen Lours, beating all records from shore to shore and wrenching from the (Jermnns the honor of having the ship that can ride the sas at the fastest average number of miies per hour. The new record bearer takes about nine hours and a half off her own record, made on her maiden voyage from Haunt's Kock to the bar at Sandy Hook, and made tho run at neuriy twenty-five knots for each hour of the voyage. Thus In every way she is to 1)0 accredited as the fastest ocean steamship In the world. With this achievement the Cunanl Line and England capture from Germany the eagerly sought record for possessing the fleetest ship on the Atlantic. The Hamburg-American linT Deutschland lias held the record for a number of j-ears. Steamship men also claim that the achievement of the Lusitanla proves tho superiority of turbine engines over the reciprocating type. The Lusitania on this trip captures practically all trans-Atlantic record. Her best day's run, 019 knots, was nine knots better than the former record held by the Deutschland. Her average ppeed exceeds the former record of i.r

CHADWICK. 23.58 knots held by the Kaiser Wilhelm II. of the North German Lloyd Line, and her record for the trip across the ocean beats that of the HamburgAmerican liner Deutschland, which crossed from Cherbourg, a inucn longer course. In 5 days 11 hours and 54 minutes. The Deutschland average speed was 2o.l5 knots, while the average of the Lusitania's first trip, which ended at Sandy Hook Sept. 13, was 23.01 knots, o." 5 days 51 minutes, for the trip. The Lusitania's first trip gave her the record for the Queenstown course formerly held by the Lucania of tho same line, which made the vojage in 1891 in 5 days 7 hours 23 minutes. The Cunard line captured Its first record for the voyage across the ocean when tho Europa, In 1815, made the then remarkable time of 11 daj-s 3 hours, beating the former rewrd of the famous Great Eastern, made in 1838, of 14 Vi days. Cnncer Anionic Meat-Cuter. The results of two years' exhaustive Ftudy of cancer In the city of Chicago by Dr. Cooke Adams of London have just been made public in a report of the city health department. It says that Dr. Adams has proved that diet is a most imnortant factor in the increase of diseases and In the death rate. In the last seven years of 5S,S35 deaths among the Chicago-born from all causes there were 178 due to cancer. In the same period there were G1.000 deaths from all causes among foreign-born inhabitants (over one-third of the total population) and 4.4G3 of fcbese deaths were due to cancer. Dr. AÄams says that his statistical investigations in Europe and the United States corroborate his earlier Australian observations, showing an aiarming increase in the death rate from cancer among foreign-born inhabitants, who depend largely upon meats of inferior character for their food. Dr. Adams says that 80 per cent of the stock held for slaughter upon being condemned by the inspectors finally enters the market either ns fresh meat or in the form of meat products, and is largely consumed by the foreign ioor. He says there annot be the slightest Moubt that a great increase in cancer among these people over the prevalence of that disease in their native countries is due to the increased consumption of animal fo)ds and especially those derived from diseased r.n!mals. Prohibition for TenncNKcc. The Supremo. Court of Tennessee has affirmed the constitutionality of the Pendleton act, which in effect extends the provisions of prohibition to all but five cities of the State. The same legislature which passed this law abolished the charters of five cities Knoxville, Bristol, Clarksville, Columbia and Jackson and reincorporated t'icm under the new Jaw, which prohibits saloons within their borders. The five cities where liquor ran be sold after Jan. 1 next are: Memphis, Binghamton, Chattanooga, Nashville and La Follette.

1NÄNCIAL

CHICAGO. The prevailing tendencies afford further encouragement in the outlook for sustained confidence in trade. In the crop report this week the decreased growth of cereals is made clear, but an offset is found in the greatly enhanced values and almost certain markets abroad for surplus products. Less pressure is evident in money and, with the rapid conversion of grain into cash, there should follow a .substantial addition to deposits with ths banks and some easing of the discount rate. Current activity reflects seasonable progress, production in the leading industries equaling that of a year ago, while the distributive branches and transpor-. tation have become more extended. Asids from the halt in new demands for rails and pig iron there are satisfactory contracts in structural steel, wire and pipe, and deliveries of finished materials have again risen to an enormous aggregate. Bank clearings. $219,C15,775, exceed those of the corresponding week in 1900 by 14.8 per cent. Failures reported in the Chicago district numbered 24, against 25 last week and 22 a year ago. Dun's Trade Keview. NEW YORK. Stringency in money market conditions, delay in movement of some leading crops to market and unseasonably warm weather in some sections have operated to check the fullest development of wholesale trade for next year and of retail trade in Reasonable goods. It is worthy of note, however, that western, southwestern and southern jobbers report an increased volume of recorder business, indicating that country -merchants have had a prosperous fall season so far, and that early conservative buying necessitates repair of broken -stocks. Collections are irregular, some improvement being noted in the South, where the cotton crop has moved in good volume. Business failures in the United States for the week ending Oct. 10 number 192, against 177 last week, 192 in the like week of 190 and 1S3 in 1905, 190 in 1901 and 208 in 1003. Canadian failures for the week number 24, as against 32 last week and 18 In this week a year ago. Bradstreet's Commercial Report.

Townsend of the Connecticut Board of Health reports that the bacillus of typhoid may be carried for years after an attack of the disease without any apparent inconvenience to the patient and without hi knowledge of the fact. Kutscher, a German expert, is quoted as saying that about 4 per cent of the typhoid patients become chronic carriers of typhoid bacilli. Although such persons may be in good health, they may infect those with whom they come in contact. All this is confirmed by the recent case of a cook who had served in several New York families. In every family her presence was followed by an outbreak of typhoid. It was known that the cook herself had suffered an attack of the same disease formerly and an enforced examination showed that she still carried the bacilli. All Aronnd the Globe.

NEARLY TVO MILLION MEM BERS NOW ENROLLED. riller of the Soil All Over tbe Country Now Handed In Great Educational and Co-operative Organization. The Farmers Educational and Cooper itive Union now claims a membership of 1,S00,000, representing, approximately, one-eighth of the States. In Arkansas alone there are 80,000 members of the Farmers' Union, and Texas '.aims 225,000 to 275,000. Every southern and many western States have a i:irge membership. Not only is the organization stroug in numbers, but it is developed in organization, from the State association down to the district, county and local associations, each having Its charter to do business In the name of the union. Every State has a business agent, whose duties are as well defined as the duties of a State Auditor. Yet the movement is in its Infancy, as to years, having been started in an out of the way place In Texas less than a decade ago. Newt Gresham, "father of the Farmers' Union' called the first "local' together, a few years ago, in the town of Point, in Northeast Texas. One of the basic principles of tho Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union is that "business is business;" in short, that cause and effect must be taken into account and that system must underlie the plans of the farmers, the same as the plans of operators in any other business. Long before the idea of warehouses was given publicity the men behind the Farmers' Union had evolved a scheme covering actual construction and safeguards against obstructing factors. The average Farmers Union man is not full of the sentiment about what the "farming class' ought to have, but he has reached the conclusion, by reasoning along business lines, that the farmer can make things happen. For the first time in the history of the cotton grower??, for Instance, they have discovered that cotton is not merely a bag of fiber, valuable ouly after it has reached the hands of the manipulator, but that it has representative value, as well as a real value, and may be used as collateral the same as a check or a gilt-edge promissory note. Upon this idea, largely, Is based the success of the warehouse scheme. The farmer, should lie bo too poor to hold his product against a low market, vmay house the cotton and draw money on it up to a large percentage of Its value. Warehouses are scattered over the country by the hundreds. "We are able to store away for an indefinite period 2,000,000 bales of cotton if need be," said a prominent Texan, "and new warehouses are going up every day. TU? union Is not ouly strong in the South; It is rapidly gaining in tho North and West. At the national convention two years ego there was hardly a delegate or a visitor from any section except the cotton-growing States. and In the setting of values cotton and cotton-seed products were practically the only things considered. At the recent convention not only was there a delegation, from the Middle West, but even from Washington .and California. The comprehensive Kcope Is also shown in the nature of the committees now indorsed by the union. There are committees on cotton, grain, stock, sirup and canning products There Is a committee on legislation. As a e-orollnry to the haphazard policy of state legislative committees the national association took the stand of favoring a lobby at Washington, and a strong resolution setting forth this Idea passed the convention. Hereafter three of the shrewdest men In the order will look after the Interests of the union and will obtain headquarters al the national capital. WORLD POSTAGE STAMPS.

S03IK IIOOSIEK 1IISTOIIV. First Settlement AVaa Made at Vlneenne la 1702. Investigating and research continue to corroborate 1702 as the correct date of the first settlement at Vincennes, and to refute the single writer who essayed to startle all historians for a century with the statement thit it was 1731 when Morgan de Yiccenne came here and built a fort to protect the settlement formed 30 years before and which was exposed to the Indian dpredations. The theory of the alleged 'iiseoverer of "new facts' was that ti e reference in early manuscript to the "pte on the Oubache" did not mean Yincennes, but referred to a spot where Cairo now stands and that the lower Ohio river was called the Wabash by the Indians. Besides the error of believing that the children of the forest who learned all they knew ia the book of nature and thought that the Ohio emptied into the Wabash (the big river running into (he little one), we have additional and irrefutable records that there was no fort years after at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Many years after. Gen. Hamilton in his report to Hald5mand who was in charge at Quebec, in August,-1781, suggested that importance not of rebuilding but of locating a fort at this point, which disposes of the wild theory of the latter day history makers. These facts are fully given in a compilation by the late Consul ButterSeld, who had access to British historic records and who wrote many works on history. GirtL SEEKS MOTIIEIt SIX YEARS.
