out of the chaotic condition that pre
vailed and a relief committee has be
gun dispensing aid Anions the relief
sent from outside were twenty-five
pupils from Dethany college, who act
ed as nurses.
Storm Forms Near Town.
The tornado seems to have formed
three miles south of Marquette and
did not spend its force until it had
passed many miles north of the town.
In Marquette the residence portion,
west of the main street, suffered the
principal damage. Houses in the
course of the tornado were all, with
one or two exceptions, wrecked. In
this section there were a number of
modern residences, only one of which
was left standing. The Swedish
Lutheran and Methodist churches
were among the first buildings struck,
and they, together with the parson
age adjoining the Methodist church,
were completely demolished.
When the missing in Marquette had
been accounted for the searchers di
rected their attention to the surroun-'
ing country. Soon half a dozen wag
on loads of dead and Injured had been
brought to town from the district ad
joining It on the south. The sufferers
tell of many narrow escapes froir
death, lone Sallen, tho Infant daug
ter of Charles Sailen, was lifted In
her bed and carried to the middle of
the street, receiving only a few
scratches. Sailen and his wife were
dangerously Injured. The mattress
upon which tho baby daughter of Rev.
Smith lay was doubled up In such a
manner as to cover the child and pro
tect it from falling timbers. In spite
of the destruction of the Smith house
the entire family escaped uninjured.
Mr and Mrs. O. S. Ellvln were car
ried on their bed a distance of 500
feet and laid down without being seri
ously Injured.
TAFT STIRS RALWAY MEN.
Secretary Declares Rate Regulation
Must Come.
Washington. May 10. Secretary
Taft fairly took the breath of the 300
railway men, members of the interna
tional railway congress, dining as the
guests of the American Railway asso
ciation at the new Willard hotel,
when he emphatically declared that
railway rate legislation must come;
that if the railway men of the coun
try were wise thev would aid and nnt
hinder it; that the sentiment of the
country is such that failure of proper
regulation meant a campaign on the
subject that would do no good to the
railroads. '
Absolute silence reigned as Secre
tary Taft spoke his mind on the sub
ject of rates. He was positively
against government ownership, ho
said, believing that nothing bo delet.
rious could come to the country as
this solution of the question. ' "But,"
ho continued, "you cannot run rail
roads as you run private buslaess.
You must respond to tho public de
mand. If there is danger of discrim
ination, then you must allow the es
tablishment of some tribunal that will
remedy that discrimination." The
secretary saw no reason why a tri
bunal properly constituted should not
be competent In every sense of the
word to flic a maximum rate.
Flh Replies to Taft.
President Stuyvesant FiBh of the
American Railway association had -introduced
Secretary Taft. In his ca
pacity,. as tosstmaster. Mr. Pish w&a
.on his feet the Instant the', .secretary.
concluded. He answered the secre
tary at''longtlv taking the view that
'"'thorlaw to nrovent rHprrlmlnntlnn
- .-.-- .......... .,-..,
J double dealing and secret rebates was
'ample, andho" vigorously called for
the enforcement of that law. Mr. Fish
talked of the vested rights of the
money tied up In railways. He apol
ogized for allowing himself to bo dl-l
verted, nnd ns he sat down, Secretary
Taft, who sat next. to him queried, In
a low tone. "May I have fifteen min
utes to reply." This time was given ,
and the secretary utilized It In making .
himself even more positive ns to his '
position In favor of legislation which
would create a tribunal with author
Ity to name n maximum rate.
NAN PATTERSON STILL IN JAIL.
Must Remain in Jail Until District At
torney Considers Case Further.
New York, May L. Nan Patterson's
future Is still uncertain Hall has been

cution in Case of "Bluebeard."

with her while Mrs. Walcker-Hoch lay
dying
Frank Spreyne, the undertaker, stat
ed that the embalming fluid used after
the death of Mrs. Walcker-Hoch con
tained no arsenic. Spreyne's testi
mony was corroborated by the results
of an analysis of the fluid.
J. M. Schleisser, employed as nlerk
In a drug store at Sixty-third and Hal
stead streets, testified that he had fre
quently sold varlouB prescriptions tt
Hoch. He identified .a number of them.
In his direct testimony Schleisser de
clared that none of them contained
arsenic. In his cross-examination,
however, he said that one of the pre
scriptions did contain a Bmall quan
tity of arsenic.
Flnkbine Opposes Rate Legislation.
Washington, May 9. E. P. Bacon of
Milwaukee appeared before the senate
interstate commerce committee Mr
ilacon said that persons suffering
from excessive rateB were, under tho
Elklns act, prohibited from securing
rcdresR. It was impossible for the
committee to fix rates In the whole
country, he declared, but the commis
sion should bo empowered to order un
just rates changed. In the past five
years he said there had been changes
in classification) resulting in an ad
vance of 21 per cent. Testimony op
posing any change In the present con
dition was given by E. C. Finkbine of
Des Moines and several others.

A NOTABLE DWARF.
Tlir 'Witty Debut of ItornltTfiMkl, tLe
KitimiiiN l.lltlo Polo.
A very notable ihvurf: was IlortihvnHkt,
the Pole, of whose debut the following
Ntory Is told: As u boy of fifteen, when
lie was Just one Inch higher tliiin a
two foot rule, he was presented to tho
Kiiipivts Matin Theresa, who was so
Vhurnied Ity his grace and good lookH
that she seated him on her Inj and
gave him a hearty kiss. "And what do
you consider the most Interesting sight
In Vienna V" she asked the boy. "What
1 now behold," he answered. "And
what Is tlmtV" "Why," said the tiny
courtier, "to see so little u man on tho
lap of so great a lady." Naturally a
youth who exhibited such a ready and
courtly wit had u distinguished eareer
before him. From that day Horul
waskl became tho pet of the eourts of
Europe. He was u special favorite of
.Stanislaus II., who took lilm to Eng
land and Introduced him to George
HI. and his family, and for more than
half a century he made his home In
England.
Horul waskl, who at his tallest was a
yard and three Inches high, hud a sis
ter whose head was Just level with her
big brother's shoulders. lie was not
only u handsome nnd courtly man, but
a scholar of repute. He lived In llvo
reigns tuul was laid to rest lu Durham
In 18117 side by side with the Falstaff
lan Stephen Kemlde.
ST. KILDA ISLAND.
The Nntlven Ilnve Coltln Only When
VlNittMl by ForelKtiera.
There are many places where It Is
Impossible to catch cold because tliero
is no cold to catch. There Is St. Klldu,
that lonely rocky Island which was
visited by Dr. Johnson when he and
Boswell were making their famous
tour of the Hebrides. There are ubout
a hundred Inhabitants on the Island.
The coastH are bo precipitous that fpr
eight months in the year It is prac
tically Inaccessible. Several vessels
from the mainland call there during
the Hummer. And, strange to say,
whenever a ship reaches the Islnnd
from the mainland every Inhabitant,
even to the Infants, Is seized with a
cold. This fact has been ( known ,for
more than 2Q0 years and was of great.
Interest to Dr. Johnson, who was skep
tical concerning It.
The question of this St. Klldn cold
long puzzled men, who never dreamed
that It was an Infectious disease and
that without the possibility of Infec
tion It is impossible to catch It, no gut
ter what the exposure may be. That' Is
to say, It Is due to a micro organism,
and without the presence of this micro
organism tho disease cannot be con
tracted. New York Herald.'
RED AND GRAY SQUIRRELS.
The Male of Iloth Species Are In
corrigible FlKbtera.
A very quarrelsome disposition has
the chickaree, or American red squir
rel, and there are continual lights be
tween it and Its couslii the gray' squfr
r,el. These tights seldoip end lu a de
cided victory for either side. iThc,males
of both species are Incorrigible light
ers. It Is no unusual' sight to see a
couple of red or gray squirrels comu
tumbliug from some lofty limb so lock
ed In each other's embrace as to appear
almost like one animal.
Though the shuck of striking tho
ground separates them, It Is for a mo
ment only. They .immediately clinch
again and continue to roll over and
over, 'lighting fiercely until one breaks
away, only to be followed by the other,
who keeps up a running fight for some
distance until he feels eurtuin that he
has so punished the conquered one that
be will not dare return.
Red squirrels by their greater agil
ity and quickness can worst a gray
squirrel every time In u running fight,
but let them once come to a clinch and
the superior size and weight of the
gray squirrel aro bound to tcl. Chica
