Its origin isnot known. The dam

Mr. D. B. McLear, the proprietor of
the store, stated last night that he
did not wish to give out an estimate
on the financial loss until he had made
a complete inventory. It is thought
that the Insurance will cover the loss
of chattels, but it is not known whether there is any insurance on
the building or not.

Warsaw, Sept. 10. Bloody riots and massacres occurred yesterday at the town of Siedlce, 53 miles from Warsaw. The troops, after being bait
ed for hours by the Terrorists, who systematically assassinated soldiers
and policemen .attacked the Jewish
quarter about noon. They devastat
ed three streets, filled with Jewish
dwellings and stores, and killed7 hun
dreds of occupants of the quarters.
The scenes were terrible. The soldiers battered down doors and dragged men, women and children into the
streets or hurled them from windows.
A number of persons were killed by being thrown from the roofs to which
they had fled in hope of escaping the
infuriated soldiers. Dozens Shot in Flight.
Dozens were shot down in flight, "while" others who attempted to resist
were bayonetted and clubbed to death.
Many houses were fired and a confla
gration at one time seemed imminent.
Furniture was wrecked, carpets rip
ped up and vandalism of all kinds practiced. The soldiers in their excesses committed all kinds of out
rages.
This section did not quiet down un
til evening, and by that time, most of
the inhabitants had either escaped, or been killed or wounded. The morgue was filled with bodies during the eve

Charles Brown in charge of the lo
cal T. M. C. A. movement addressed two large and appreciative audiences
at the Reid Memorial Church and Christian Church ' yesterday morning and evening respectively. The theme of his talks was the exnlanation of
the Y. M. C. A., and the demonstra
tion of the church's Dart in organiz
ing such an institution. He stated that the Association is not foreign to
the work of the church but closely
attached. The work and influence of
the one is that of the other. Where
the church is generally looked upon by young persons as beins a place
of divinity for older persons, the As-
sociation affords them an institution
for themselves without drawing them
away from the other. At both ser
vices yesterday the young men at
tended in larger numbers than was expected and from all indications the Y. M. C. A. spirit has invaded the
city. At last night's meeting the
young men turned out In equally
good forces. Many of the young per
sons are talking the movement to
their friends, who are not able to at
tend the meetings and in this man
ner the good work is being spread.
Mr. Brown stated last night that it
is desired that $100,000 be collected
to install the institution. It Is thought
that within a month work on the col
lection of subscriptions will be begun.
Mr. Brown stated that the work
would not be stopped in any event
as that would mean another twenty-
five years delay. Confidence is en
tertained by those who attended the meeting yesterday that the movement
will be successful. .

The Palladium one dollar "tip prize" for the past week, goes to a well known business man, who "tipped off" to a Palladium reporter that Herbert Eshenfelder had forged two checks, one at the First National and the other at the Seccnd National bank. The name of the business man is withheld at his request. The story came to the Palladium from another source five hours after the winner of the prize had dropped his "tip." The second man would have won the prize had he been in earlier. ' Another good story came to the Palladium last week through a person trying for the prize. Roy Caile "tipped off" the fact, that Mrs. 'Dempsey had been burned to death. The story, however, appeared in the evening papers and that fact would have kept Caile from winning the prize no matter how poor the other stories might have been. The story which wins must be exclusive to the Palladium. Those trying for the prize need not fear but that they will receive impartial treatment. If there is ever any indecision about the value of two stories on the part of the judge, two prizes will be awarded for that week. The contest continues this week and indefinitely.

barracks, their officers started to restrain them but finally they broke the bonds of discipline and -started in masses for the Jewish Quarters, the outbreak being attributed to Jewish terrorists. The failure of the soldiers to. act tip to this time had given the Jews, who are accustomed to shouldering the blame for any trouble, a sense of false security and the maddened troops swent into the quarter almost without warning. They began shooting and killing right and left, battering down doors and wrecking houses. Their supposed personal grievance against ,the Jews made the work of the soldiers all the more terrible
and as they proceeded their passion for revenge seemed to increase rather than to diminish. A number of children were killed in cold blood, while women holding babies in their arms struck down ruthlessly. The soldiers did not return to the barracks' until the quarter was demolished and not a living Jew was to he found.

Brookville, Ind., Sept 9. (Spl.) Senator James A. Hemenway and Congressman James E. Watson addressed a great gathering of Republicans here Saturday at the county convention of the party. Senator Hemenway spoke very briefly as he was compelled to leave on an early train. He gave an exposition of the benefits of the tariff and expressed great confidence in the re-election of a Republican House, basing his prediction upon the beneficial legislation of the recent Congress. Senator Hemenway expressed the belief that two thirds of the people, regardless of party affilarances, heartily indorse the legislation of the last Congress. Congressman James E. Watson delivered an address of more than an hour's length, expressing the conviction that the American people would not trust the Democratic party to revise the tariff, as they had very clear recollection of the direful results of the Cleveland administration. Mr. Watson was at his best and delighted his audience. Both speakers aroused great enthusiasm. A full county ticket was nominated.

Excitement was. furnished persons along East Main street yesterday aft
ernoon by the peculiar trick played by one of E. Gurney Hill's horses, which
ran from Mr. Hill's house to the barn
at the greenhouses. No damage was
done. The horse, which was hitched to a
four seated rig, has been owned by Mr. Hill for a good many years- and has a habit of slipping his bridle and walking to the barn. Yesterday he ran at top speed. Several .daring persons who tried to stop him, fright
ened the horse, which increased his speed. A little negro lad caught on behind and rode from the top of the Main street hill to the greenhouses.

REAL ESTATE PICKING UP
In the case that young Herbert Eshenfelder has married Miss Elsie Enbody, with whom he ran away, it is possible that he will come tinder
the list of bigamists. It was report
ed at Police Headquarters yesterday
that Eshenfelder is married to some girl in Fort Wayne, Ind. Last spring
word was received at the Department
that the young man was wanted in Ft
Wayne as a witness for the city in
suit of damages which was brought by the young man's mother-in-law. When Mr. and Mrs. Eshenfelder were approached yesterday concerning the matter, they would neither deny nor affirm the report, but closed the door
with the information that so far as
that was concerned they had nothing
tQ say. Young Man May be "Off."
The parents of the young man stat-
ed that they are of the opinion that
he is mentally "oft" and' is not entire
ly responsible for his acts, although they say that he clearly knew what
he was doing. Mrs. Eshenfelder is
still ill over the worry and concern which the case has occasioned. The young forger will be brought to the
city this morning by Supt. Bailey.
When Eshenfelder got into trouble
at Eaton on account of offering stolen cattle for sale, and made his escape, he went to the same place that he
sought refuge this trip.

Last Session of Congress Taken Up in Detail and Attention is Called to 10,000 Pages of Record.
Washington, Sept. 9. The republican congressional campaign this fall will be fought out on Rooseveltian lines if the wishes of the managers are to be adhered to. The president's policies will peep from every document and his personality will be kept prominently before the voters by all the orators on the hustings. The. republican text book Is just hot from the press. It opens .with an extract from President Roosevelt's speech of' acceptance in 1904, contains many allusions throughout and contains 273 pages, with the president's recent open letter to Congressman Watson
of Indiana, in which the work of Congress was heartily endorsed and the reasons given why it was advisable for the people at this time to stand pat on the tariff. Nothing About "Big Stick. It is conspicuous In the absence of "big stick" and there cannot be found in all Its comprehensive treatment of party questions the . slightest reference to the simplified spelling for which the president stands a sturdy champion. There Is little else of merit omitted. It even endorses the method of American manufacturers selling their wares at a less price abroad than they , charge the domestic consumer." All in all it is from a party standpoint the strongest textbook ever Issued. It treats of CSS different subjects. It covers the whole field of national legislation from the birth of the party , and shows what it declares the party has accomplished. The work of the first session of the 59th Congress is handled In detail and the number of pages of the congressional record 10,000 Is pointed to as a new record in Itself. Many of the important laws railroad rate, pure food, free school emplyers liabilitity laws are given in their entirety. The beef Inspection law In part also appears. The opposition of the American Federation of Labor is responsible for a chapter on "Republican labor legis- , lation." The recent demands of labor are given and the reasons why all the demands were not granted" are set forth in detail. The home and abroad, luxuries and necessities, reciprosity, Panama canal, Philippines, Agriculture, manufacturing progress, railway and Insurance statistics, pensions, statehood, potal growth, "our colored citizens," public lands and anti-trust legislation and accomplishments are among the most important topics treated.
