“YELLOW” JACK GETS C E HOME TO IOWA One Case of the Fever Is Dis« covered but Eleven Miles South of Keokuk. MEW ORLEANS HOPEFUl Four Deaths During the Night Indicate a Slight Increase for the Day, but the General Situation Is Gradually Improving. New- Orleans, La., Aug. 23.—The of ficial report up to 6 p. m. Monday is as follows; New cases, 61; total cases to date, 1,446; deaths today, 9; total deaths to date, 206; new foci today. 16; total foci to date, 322; cases remaining un der treatment, 328. Though there was an increase yes terday both in the number of cases and of fatalities, hopefulness continued to pervade the federal headquarters touching the yellow fever situation. The Monday list is always larger. It was so during the epidemic of 1878. That is due to the fact that the work of detection is not thorough on Sunday, and only the reports.that come from physicians are to be depended on. In the list of fatalities two deaths appear as having occurred in the Ma rine hospital. They were sailors ad mitted to that institution. Another death was in the French hospital, where a half dozen cases have been reported to date. These are the two public institutions outside of the hos pitals in which cases of fever have to be handled. Keokuk, la., Aug. 23.—A case of yel low fever is reported from Gregory, Mo., eleven miles south of Keokuk.

NINE KILLED IN WRECK Street Car and Freight Train Have a Disastrous Collision Near Butte —Heartrending Scenes. Butte, Mont., Aug. 23.—Nine persons were killed, one fatally hurt and about thirteen more or less injured in a col lision between a street car filled with returning merrymakers from Columbia Gardens and a freight train on the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific railway last night. The dead: MRS. SADIE SMITH. MAGGIE HARRINGTON. MAUD JOHNSON. MRS. JACOBS, colored, MAGGIE KEEFE. VERA HAUGHTON. < HRIS WOLD. UNIDENTIFIED MAN AND WOM AN. All were residents of Butte. That more were not killed Is mirac ulous, for the accident occurred with a suddenness that precluded any hope of escape for those on the front end of the car. Most of them were women and young girls. Some Heartrending Scenes. Protruding from beneatli the bottom of the mass of twisted and broken tim bers were feet and lower limbs of sev eral victims. The limbs were badly crushed and the feet of one woman were almost completely severed just above the ankles. Her agonizing screams could be faintly heard, but as the remainder of her body was ob scured from view it was impossible to identify the victim. The train which struck the street car was composed of fourteen freight cars. The street car was approaching from the south and there are conflict ing stories as to whether it made the usual crossing stop, although it is be lieved it did. Conductor Hoagland says he was on top of the train with a lantern and warned the motorman, but the latter put on speed and attempted to cross ahead of the train.

New Yrork, Aug. 21.—Thomas Curtis, f.rst president of the American Bowl ing congress, known throughout the country as ' the father of bowling in America," is dead of typhoid fever at liis home in Brooklyn, aged 7i>. APPEALS TO CONGRESS Conger Asks Leave of the Lawmaking Body to Wear His Chinese Decoration. Washington, D. C., Aug. 23.—When congress meets, the state department will ask that a bill be passed permit ting Ambassador K. H. Conger to re reive a magnificent ambassadorial dec oration, the gift of the dowager em press ot Chira. The gift and the cir cumstances of its bestowal are of un usual interest at this time tn view of file probable return of Major Conger to China as a special commissioner to Investigate and compose the boycott troubles, and they point to the fact that his standing at the Chinese court Is extremely high. 1 The dowager empress, who Major Conger does not hesitate to pronounce one of the cleverest women In the world, had long desired to present him with a decoration. The Chinese gov i ernment has two decorations of the highest order, one given only to sov ereigns and princes and the other to ambassadors. When Major Conger was at the court of Pekin he was not an ambassador and hence ineligible to the ambassadorial decoration, although the dowager empress was desirous of showing her high esteem to him In some manner When the news came of the selection of Major Conger for the position of ambassador to Mexico, the dowager empress at once took ad vantage of the opportunity to give him the ambassadorial decoration. He was unable to accept It, but It was for warded to the state department, where it will remain until congress acts. The decoration is a rich and hand some production, consisting of an Im mense golden star, set with amethysts and pearls. The jewels alone are worth $2,000 or more and the entire decora tion is worth $3,000 at least. Mrs. Conger was given a decoration much similar. In her case there were no obstacles to receiving It, and she did so with, It need hardly be said, the utmost satisfaction. In addition, the dowager empress gave Mr. and Mrs. Conger a handsome oil portrait of her self and a beautiful painting, which she herself executed, as she is an artist of exceptional ability. LONG SEARCH REWARDED Antonio Carraciolo Follows Murderer of His Father for Nine Years to Bring Him to Justice. New York, Aug. 23.—After a search of nine years for his father's murderer, Antonio Carraciolo, a young civil en gineer, believes his persistence is at last to be rewarded. In a cell on Black well’s island he has found the paid as sassin who, he says, drove a knife into his father’s heart in San Giorgia di Lomelina, a village in the province of Benvenute, Italy, in August, 1896. Never since that day has Antonio’s determination weakened. On three con tinents he has sought his father's slay er, to And him, he believes, after al most all hopes of success had been abandoned. His mission now is to move the governments of the United States and Italy, so the moment the man he has identified is set free here he shall be sent back to San Giorgia, where he at ready stands convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. It was in the heat of a political cam paign that Antonio’s father, Giovanni Carraciolo, was murdered by an as sassin, paid by enemies to put the elder Carraciolo out of the way. Giorgia Marchette was suspected of having committed the crime and when he fled suspicion became a certainty in the minds of the villagers. What added to their indignation was the fact that the murdered man had saved Marchette from long imprisonment for a crime which it happened he had not commit ted, though his reputation was such that suspicion had fallen upon him. For almost a year after Marchette's flight nothing was heard of him. Mean while young Antonio was comforting his mother and training his younger brother to assume charge of the estate. When news came that Marchette had been seen in Buenos Ayres. South America, Antonio was ready to set out, and, promising his mother he would return with the murderer or with proofs of his death, he sailed for South Amer ica. Word reached Marchette in advance of the arrival of Antonio, and, almost murdering an aged priest for money to escape, according to evidence since ob tained, he fled to San Antonio, Tex. When Antonio reached San Antonio Marchette had fled to Galveston. Thence the chase led to Charleston, S. C„ to Atlanta and to Montreal, where Antonio arrived only to find that, as • before, his quarry had fled. That was the last Antonio was able to hear of Marchette until a few days ago, when Detective Sergeant Petrosino, oi the headquarters staff, looking througli records, found a mail named Marchette was on Blackwell’s island serving a sentence of eleven months and twenty nine days, with a tine of $500, which must be paid for he will have to serve out the fine at the rate of $1 a day. Marchette beat his aunt. Petrosinc wrote to Antonio, who has lately beer, living in Allentown, Pa., of his find ano the young man eagerly hurried to New York. Marchette does not yet know that An tonio will be waiting for him when he is released from the island. The de tective took the young Italian to where Marchette lay groveling in a cell, in sane or feigning insanity. One glance satisfied Antonio he had found his fa ther’s murderer. With a cry he leaped at the iron bars, but Petrosino and a keeper dragged him back. ’’Oh, that I had caught him myself!" he cried. “But revenge will come and my mother can die in peace.” Antonio cabled the news to his moth er and brother, and urged that no time be lost in obtaining requisition papers, which will be ready for Marchette when he is set free. Then, satisfied he would have his revenge, Antonio returned to Allentown. GRAIN RATES ARE CUT. Other Northwest Lines Meet the Cut of Hill to Be Announced Tomorrow.

MINTO IS HIS SUCCESSOR English Government Issues a White Book Telling All About the Serious Rupture in the Govern ment of India. London, Aug. 23.—The resignation of Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, as viceroy of India, and tha appointment of the earl of Minto as his successor, was an nounced at the India office. Ac cording to the correspondence, which is issued ln'^he form of a white book, It appears that Lord Curzon’s resignation was cabled to vhat office on August 12. The correspondence shows that there exists a decidedly bitter feeling be tween Lord Curzon, the India office and Lord Kitchener, commander-ln-chlef of the forces in India.' Lord Curzon's dis satisfaction came to a head with the refusal of the cabinet to appoint Ma jor General Sir Edmund Harrow on Lord Curzon’s recommendation to the military supply of the council. London, Aug. 21.—The resignation of Lord Curzon us viceroy of India, which is the chief theme of the morning news papers, was discounted by previous re ports that a disagreement was impend ing os that his resignation had been tendered, all of which had been steadily and flatly denied by Mr. Brodrlck, sec retary of state for India. All of the editorial articles praise Lord Curzon’s administration unstint edly and credit him as having done as great service in India as any of his predecessors, if not greater. It is con ceded that the earl of Minto takes the reins at a difficult stage, but he Is credited with ability equal to that of any man in England to grasp and mas ter difficult administrative work. ANOTHER SCANDAL ON. Grafters Are Alleged to Have Been at Work in Treasury Department on Tobacco Importations. Washington, Aug. 23.—A sensation in the treasury department, which will make all other department scandals look like a firefly beside a house on fire, is imminent. It is known that the customs and in ternal revenue divisions of the treas ury department have been under fire for time time. The investigations, however, have been so quietly conducted by secret service men that the first inkling the public had of it was when it was an nounced that three inspectors of in ternal revenue had been discharged. It is now claimed that Uncle Sam has been fleeced and robbed out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by fraudulent classification of Cuban leaf tobacco. Under our commercial treaty with Cuba, the Dingley act was amended so that it reduced rates 35 cents per pound on what is known as ‘‘filler" to bacco. On what is called "wrapper” the duty is $1.85 per pound. It is claimed that hundreds of bales of Cuban tobacco which leave Havana is admitted into the United States as “filler,” and today’s issue of the To bacco Journal point3 out a specific in stance involving a transaction of large proportions between Havana, Tampa and New York. At the treasury department today there was an air of subdued excitement. Nobody would talk and everybody seemed impressed with the idea that a general shake-up is imminent. WOULD WED MISS ALICE The Sultan of Sulu Offers to Annex President’s Daughter to His Harem —Would Make Her Sultana. Manila Aug. 23.—Secretary Taft and party arrived at Jolo at noon on the 18lh and immediately proceeded to the parade ground to witness an elaborate program arranged for their entertain* ment. The sultan of Sulu, with his retinue and other Moro dignitaries, occupied seats in the grandstand. Thousands of Moro residents of Jolo and from neigh boring islands were present to take part in the festivities. Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt were presented with many Moro pres ents by the sultan, who offered his hand in marriage to Miss Roosevelt, and would make her sultana of the Sulu archipelago, saying his people desired her to remain among them. ARREST CHICAGO MAYOR Violated Evanston Ordinance on Speed of Automobiles. Chicago, Aug. 23.—Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, was arrested in the suburb ol Evanston for violation of the ordi nance regulating the speed of automo biles. The mayor. In company with his friend, John Boylston, was riling through Evanston when he was stopped by a policeman, who accused the chauf feur. Edward Sykes, of going too fast. All three were taken to the police sta tion. The mayor remained outside in the automobile while the other two went to appear before the justice. "I don’t know anything about the speed of these things,” said the mayor, “but I don't think we were going very fast. However, we may have been, and I guess we will have to pay our fine like anybody else.” Sykes w'as unable to decide whether he should pay the fine of $10 which was placed against him by the justice, and came out to consult the mayor aboul it. "Go ahead and pay the fine,” ad vised the mayor. It was paid and the machine moved away after Mayor Dunne bad solicitously inquired con cerning the speed limit in his own city, saying that he did not desire to be ar rested again. KENTUCKY BANK FAILS Comptrollor of Currency Closes Louis ville Institution Having Million in Deposits. Washington, Aug. 23.—The doors of the Western National bank.

"*rofessor Milukoff and Nino of Hi* Conferee* Ar* Taken Into Cus* tody by Ruaaian Police. St. Petersburg. Aug. 23.—The polici at lost have applied a check to the ao tlvity of the central bureau of the league and confederation of professional reform organizations by descending to day on a mailing of the central com mittee and am'stlng ten of the leaders present. In this committee are Included university lecturers, doctors, engineers, Jawyers and other professional men. The organization of which the league |s made up is composed of the most ad vanced reformers, and since organiza tion the central bureau has passed through radicalism to the verge of revo lution. Many of the late proclamations and appeals have been couched In terms almost as seditious as those of the so cialists. It Is probable that the govern ment feared the league was about to in augurate a campaign against the douma. Paul M. Milukoff, at whose hous* near St. Petersburg the arrests were made, and who was among those ar rested, formerly was a professor In the University of St. Petersburg. He had just returned from a lecture trip with one of the socialist leaders, and an ar ticle from his pen violently denouncing the douma project had appeared In the latest number of the Weekly Pravo. Milukoff was one of those arrested on January 23 last, along with Gorky, Annensky and Hessef. POLAND STRIKE SPREADS Czar’s Edict Regarding the National Assembly Is Not Approved— Bloody Battle Occurs. Warsaw, Aug. 23.—A general strike has been proclaimed throughout Po land by way of protest against a dis regard of the right of Poles in the scheme for representation in the na tional assembly. The strike began here today. Highty socialists, carrying arms,while attempting to enter the city, were op posed by a detachment of Cossacks. Eight socialists were killed. Employes of factories at Warsaw, Lodz and Pobiance joined the strike. Reforms Are Nominal. St. Petersburg, Aug. 21.—The Novoe Vremya and the Russky Slovo today unreservedly praise the douma project. The other St. Petersburg newspapers, however, fall to show much enthusiasm. While half-heartedly admitting that the project maltes for Improvement, these papers freely criticise the limita tion of the powers of the douma, and ask for an extension of the freedom of the press, freedom of meeting and po litical amnesty. Martial Law on the Baltic. Mitau, Rusia, Aug. 21.—Martiul law has been declared throughout the Bal tic province of Courland. EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH Seismic Disturbance Frightens People >n Central and South United States —Several Cities Feel Shock. Cairo, 111., Aug. 23.—An earthquake occurred last night.

I.ansing, Micli., Aug. 23.—One man I was killed :md nine persons injured in a street car accident at Dewitt, six [miles from Lansing, last evening. ! The dead: GEORGE BURTON, manager of the John Hicks Dry Goods company. A car and trailer left this city heav ily loaded with St. Johns people who were returning home from the after noon ball game. Near Dewitt the trail er was derailed by an obstruction on the track and thrown into a ditch.! Many of the passengers were caught under the heavy cars and crushed. “O temporal O mores!" read Bob Terbell. Harvard’s half back, as he sat In his room maehanlcally translat ing Cicero's first oration against Cata llne. "Yes. Cicero, old man,” he Bald, Ir reverently, "those are my sentiments, too. 'What a time! What a state of affairs!’ Indeed, when a fellow can’t have the girl he’s head over heels In love with.” Bob was rudely recalled from dream land by a knock at the door. "Come In!” he shouted, Inhospitably and without looking around. "What’s up Bob?” Inquired Ned Summers, entering the room In football attire. "Why are you mooning around here? The fellows are waiting.” He glanced about the room for some explanation of Bob’s evident mental disturbances. "Hang football!” was the uncivil re sponse. Ned vented his feelings by a whistle of surprise. After a minute ho laid a hand on Bob's shoulder. "What's the matter, old chap?” he nsked. "Do you want those fellows to wipe us off the face of the earth on Saturday? One might think so from the way you’ve played this fall. I’d suggest that you were In love, but— hello!” His eye fell on the pennant on the mantel. "Where's her picture? Who Is It now?" He walked to the fireplace. "That's the question—where Is It? She didn’t give me one." Bob's dejected air was so unusual as to cause Ned to look curiously at him. "I Bay Boh, Is your brain affected?" he asked, half seriously. It was unlike the halfback to succumb to anything sentimental. "No. I tell you, Ned, It’s my heart. I’m hard hit." "Why don’t you tell her?” “Why don't I ride to the moon In an auto?” Evidently there were rough ■pots on Bob’s temper. "Come, Bob, what’s It all about?” Ned’s expression was one of bewilder ment. “I tell you she won't listen to me. I met her at Green Lake In August. She ■pent the summer there with her moth er, and on the afternoon of the night she was to leave I tried to tell her all on the field. All out ot breath trout playing, he gasped: "Run to Bob Terbell's room. Know; where It Is? All right. Bring the pen-; nant hanging on the mantel. Bring it here ns fast as you can scamper." As the player took their position* for the second half Bob Terbell, bend ing over with his head between hi* knees, glanced casually at the grand stand. Through the space he saw *; white-lettered pennant floating in th* breeze. Without thought of the game he stood erect, Just as the signal was to be given. On a pretense of adjusting his noseguard he stood for u minute while the signal was held. "X-Y-Z-ll-18!” called the quarter back, as Bob resumed his position. The fight for the pigskin was on. Bob played football as well In the second half as he had played badly In the first, and all because he saw a face behind a flying pennant. ♦ * • "But you played so much better la the last half Bob," said Lourene as ah* put a little hand In two big ones in the deserted grand stand. Two other thoughtful young persons were walking In an opposite direction. "You saved the day." "No, you did it,” replied Bob, looking ridiculously huppy and forgetting tf» release the hand he held. “You won/' the game for Harvard. But for the sight of your face, so unlooked for, be—! hind that flying pennant, I should hav* fumbled through the whole game. A part of my anatomy was wanting.” And a long time afterward, when he had taken off his football clothes and had gained some of hla equanimity, h* said: "Do you suppose, dear, that yotl could help me win the battle of life a* you did the game today? You can— but will you?" "If it Is so easily won. Bob." she said/ as they began on the second half oil the game. Little Hints on Good Breeding.

To cool off I went out for a turn in the water, in tending to return and apologize for some things I said. When I was nicely out in the middle the wdnd went down and left me lulled two miles from shore, my sails empty and no sign of an oar." “Well?” asked Ned, leaning against the mantelpiece and becoming interest* ed. “Well! It wasn’t well at all,” cor rected Bob, impatiently. "When I finally reached the hotel, several hours later, she was gone, but not without a parting shot at me in a note. She said a lot of things about people losing their tempers and all that rot, and of how a real gentleman would have apol ogized for what I had said. You see, she thought it was intentional—my go ing out on the lake and remaining until she was gone." Bob’s eyes sought the pennant again. "But why don’t you write to her? She’ll listen to reason.” Ned was be ginning to show signs of sympathy. "I did, and I’m waiting yet for the answer.” Bub pulled impatiently at his great mop of football hair. "And the pennant—how about that,” asked Ned. “Oh, she gave that to me—before. It’s all I have of hers." “Do you realize that you haven't en lightened me as to who ’her’ is?” "She's I.ourene Richmont. And, by Jove, she is pretty! Lives in Corning.” It was Bob's own fault that he did not detect the shaft of surprise that shot across his friend's face. “Well, it’s pretty tough, old man, but this won't win our game for us. Come, we must practice. A bump or two on the gridiron will shake all sentiment out of you. We must do those fellows Saturday." A few minutes later when they stepped into the street, Ned ran on ahead and disappeared around the cor ner, ostensibly to telephone a friend. But the telephone message was written on a telegraph blank and read: "Miss Gladys Irving, Corning. N. Y.: Arrange to come to game on Saturday and bring Lourene without fail. "NED." Harvard had not scored. Expressions of mingled surprise and disappoint ment were plainly visible on , many faces in the crowded stand. Terbell, the halfback, had fumbled every ball in the first half. He was not playing in his usual form. When "time” was called Ned Sum mers rushed up to a small boy standing should pay their own cab hires, car fares, express charges, and telephone' tolls, If messages are sent at long dis tances; but. If the host will not per mit, It is In better taste to yield the point than to prolong a discussion. In order that children may learn po liteness, they must be treated with courtesy—thanked when they do little services, and spoken to In a controlled’ voice when reprimanded. Above all else, parents and elders must treat one another with well bred politeness be fore them, for children are very Imita tive little creatures. The behavior of father and mother toward each other sets an example that will probably serve as the standard of conduct In the households of which the children in their turn will be the heads. It Is no longer customary at the ta bles of those socially well placed to serve the hostess first. It Is an old fashion, a survival of the times when for the hosts to taste wine or food first was the assurance to the guests that it was not poisoned. At church weddings every woman. Including the bride, should wear a hat —unless she wears a veil. This is ac cording to custom and precedent. In well regulated households no call er is ever told at the door that the servant ‘‘will see whether the mistress Is at home or not." Instruction to that effect should be given In advance so that a caller's time may not be wasted In such investigation. In going upstairs a woman Is given precedence by a man, but In descend ing a staircase he goes first, to avoid the risk of stepping upon her gown, or, in case of a misstep, to afford her sup port.' In ti >thing does a girl show herself underbred so much as when lacking In respect and deference to her mother, except when such affront is offered to her father. If such an one had the gift of seeing herself as others see her. she would feel nothing but disgust. It is very bad fo-m not to return a first call, unless the caller be a really objectionable person to know. But the first call returned, none other need follow and the acquaintance may be allowed to drop. For the person, how ever, who makes the first call, not to make a second after the former one has been courteously returned would be indefensible tinless for som? very cogent reason. Why begin an acquaint ance or.iy to drop It? Samad Khan, the recently accredited. Persian minister ut Paris Is knowu throughout Persia as a lyrical poet and a practical player of the accordion.
