BE AHMONO BURNS
TO DEATH IN HOME
Missouri Congressman and Six-
Year-Old Grandson Are Burned
to Death at Butler, Mo., in An
Early Morning Fire.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 23.—The
bodies of Congressman DeArmond
and his grandson, Waddie, who
were burned to death in their
home early today were found in
the ruins of the house this after
noon. The bodies were lying side
by side. Congressman DeArmond
evidently had been carrying his
grandson when death overtook
him
KANSAS CITY. Mo., Nov. 23.—Repre
sentative David DeArmond, one of the
oldest Democratic members ,of congress,
and his grandson. Waddie, aged 6, were
burned to death in a Are that destroyed
the DeArmond home at Butler, Mo., early
today
The other members of the family es
caped, and it is believed none was hurt.
THOSE WHO ESCAPED.
Other occupants of the house at the
time of the fire and who escaped were
Mrs. DeArmond. James A. DeArmond.
aged 36. a son of the congressman, and a
daughter, aged 35.
Mrs Hattie Clarke believes that her
father sacrificed his life in a heroic ef
fort to save his grandson. She thinks
that Congressman DeArmond was arous
ed in time to save himself, but that in
awakening the boy and attempting to car
ry him from danger, he became con
fused to the smoke, which was momen
tarily growing denser, and was over
come before he was able to find the way
out.
The fire started at about 4 o'clock In
the morning. The DeArmond home was a
large two-story frame structure, set back
some distance from the street. On two
sides of th® house outdoor sleeping apart
ments had been constructed on a level
with the second floor and at the time of
the Are broke out. the occupants of the
house were In these rooms.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
Congressman DeArmond and his young
1 grandson occupied one room on the south
I side of the building, while Mrs. DeArmond
' and Mrs. Clark were In separate rooms
on the opposite side of the house.
Nettie Boyles. 20 years old. a servant
girl, had a room on the west end of the
house. Mrs. Clark was awakened by a
cry and. going to the door of her room,
saw smoke issuing from the part of the
house where Congressman DeArmond and
Waddle slent.
"Get me out of here,” she heard Waddie
cry.
“Never mind. son. I’ll save you.” Con
gressman DeArmond answered.
Those were the last words either of the
victims uttered. A moment later the
smoke increased in volume and Mrs. Clark
fled down stairs to the telephone. With
in a minus’s time she had given the
alarm to the teleohone office and hurried
back to the room of her mother.
AWAKENS MRS. DE ARMOND.
By this time the entire second floor
was clouded with smoke and flames were
leaping from the windows. ( Groping her
way to Mrs. DeArmond's bedside she hur
riedly awakened h 6 congressman's wife
and literally dragged her from the room.
The two had scarcely reached the ground
when Mrs. DeArmond fainted and it was
necessary to carry her from the scene to
save her from the flames.
Mrs Clark sustained a burned hand,
but maintained her composure and helped
to administer to her mother.
The home of Congressman DeArmond
was situated across the street from that
of James A. DeArmond, one of his three
sons. By the time Mrs. Clark and her
mother had reached a safe place, neigh
bors and the firemen were gathering.
The flames by this time entirely en
veloped the big house, shooting from ev
ery window, and to have entered the
building would have been extremely dan
gerous.
FRANTIC EFFORT TO RESCUEI
James DeArmond. however, dashed for
the front door, frantic in an effort to
save his father and the boy. He had al
ready been lost in a cloud of smoke be
fore neighbors could get to him and pre
vent his entering the house. For a few
minutes there was a struggle, and finally
he was dragged to the street. Fifteen
minutes later nothing but ashes remained
of the house.
Nettie Bowles, the maid, it developed
leter. had been one of the first to escape.
She reached the street from the rear door
after the first try of fire. She was un
hurt but too frightened to comprehend
the situation and had fled from the scene.
The financial loss is placed at 120,000
and included one of the best libraries
in the state.
"WADDIE" A NAMESAKE.
Congressman DeArmond had three sons
and a daughter. James A. DeArmond
is the only son in the west. He is editor
of the Butler Democrat, and was adju
tant general on the staff of Gov. Joseph
W. Folk.
'Waddle'* DeArmond was a son of
James DeArmond. His right name was
David A. DeArmond. He was named af
ter his grandfather and was the latter's
favorite grandchild. The boy frequent
ly remained at the home of his grand
parents. always occupying a bed with the
congressman.
Congressman DeArmond's other sons
■ are Edward H.. who is an instructor at
West Point, and Lieut. George W. De-
Armond nok serving with the army in
the Philippines.
A brother of the decedent. William De-
Armond, lives in Chicago. A second
brother. J. H.. lives in Davenport, lowa.
Mrs. Hattie Clark is the daughter, wife
of Harvey Clark, and resides in Neva
da. Mo.
Mrs. DeArmond. wife of the congress
man. who escaped in her night clothes
unhurt, fainted as soon as she reached the
ground. When revived later she became
hysterical and it was some time before
she could tell what had happened.
SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
In Mr. DeArmond the Democrats lose
one of their leaders on the floor of the
house. A member of that body for the
past 19 years and a man of education,
wide experience and fluent speech, he had
become one of the principal resources of
his party in all discussions of- national
I questions. He made a specialty of labor
subjects, but was never at a loss on
handling almoet any question.
Mr. DeArmond had been on the bench
before coming to congress and he natural
ly gave much attention to judicial sub
jects, He was a member of the commit
tee on judiciary at the time of his death
and had held that post for many years.
Previous to the present congress, he al
so was a member of the committee on
rules, but the selection of his colleague.
Champ Clark, as minority leader, ren
dered it necessary to place Mr. Clark on
that committee, which had the effect of
displacing Mr. DeArmond as two could
not be appointed from the same state.
While Mr. DeArmond will be long re
membered for his brilliant oratory, espe
| cially for his power of sarcasm and ca
j parity for invective, he also will long
t be known on account of his qualities as
1a party fighter.

an apparently strung, healthy man or wo
man has been stricken without notice by
serious kidney and bladder disease only
to realize too late what might have been
prevented with proper care and atten

Some of the early symptoms of weak
kidneys and bladder are lumbago, rheum
atism, catarrh of the bladder, pain or
dull ache in the back, joints or muscles,
at times have headache or indigestion,
dizziness, you may have a sallow complex

JUDGE DE ARMOND,
A leading Democratic congressman,
was burned to death at his home last
night.
pleaded subjects as an aggressor rather
than as a defendant. This quality of
mind was the means of getting him into
a personal altercation two years ago
with John Sharp Williams, who was then
the Democratic leader of the house. The
difference then arose over Mr. Williams'
designation of a Missouri colleague of
Mr. DeArmond's for a committee position
in the organization of the 60th congress.
They came to blows, but both being light
weights, neither was badly hurt.
Mr. DeArmond was an aspirant for the
leadership of the house, but the recogni
tion of Mr. Clark effectually cut him
out of that position.
WAS ELECTED IN 1891.
Judge DeArmond was first elected
to the house of representatives from the
Sixth congressional district of Missouri
in 1891. and served continuously. He was
one of the best known members of the
lower house at Washington, and had oc
cupied other positions of prominence in
liis state. In addition to his political
prominence he was a well known
lawyer. He was born March 18, 1844, in
Blair county, Pa. His early life was
spent on his father's farm, receiving his
education in the common schools and at
Williamsport Dickinson seminary.
Tn his young manhood he practiced law
in Butler. Mo., and in 1884 was named
as presidential elector. He held succes
sively the positions of state senator, cir
cuit judge and Missouri supreme court
commissioner. His entry into congress
was to 1891. when he was made a repre
sentative in the 52d congress, and was re
elected to each succeeding congress, in
cluding the 61st.
HURLS BRICK IN WINDOW.
SEIZES TRAY OF DIAMONDS
CHICAGO, Nov. 23—The jewelry store
of Jensen Brothers was robbed of stock
valued at $2,000 last night when two
thieves threw a brick through one of the
show windows and grabbed two trays
containing watches and diamond rings.
R. .. Jensen, one of the members of the
firm, was in the store at the time and
although he chased the thieves for a
block, they escaped.
PROGRESS IS MADE IN
SUPPRESSION OF OPIUM
PEKING. Nov. 22.—Official reports re

China show that progress is being made
in the suppression of the traffic in opium
in all of the 18 provinces. The campaign
has been most successful through the
northern coast and least successful in the
mountainous district of the west.
How to Cet Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
It Costs Nothing to Try
Thoze who suffer from catarrh know its
miseries. There is no need of this suffer
ing. You can get rid of it by a simple,
safe, inexpensive, home treatment discov
ered by Dr. Blosser, who. for over thirty
five years, has been treating catarrh suc
cessfully.
His trea'ment is unlike any other. It
is not a spray, douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thor
ough treatment than any of these. It
cleans out the head, throat nose and lungs
so that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. It heals the
diseased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge, so that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and spit
ting. and at the same time it does not
poison Ithe system and ruinlthe stomach,
as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment with
out cost, send your address to Dr. J. W.
Blosser. 51 Walton street, Atlanta, Go.,
and he will send you by return mall
enough of the medicine to satisfy you that
it Is all he claims for it as a remedy for
catarrh, catarrhal headaches, catarrhal
deafness, asthma, bronchitis, colds and afT
catarrhal complications. He will also
send you free an illustrated booklet.

AMERICANS JAILED
B! ORDER OF ZELAYA
Edgar Harris, of Columbus, Ohio,
Commercial Traveler, Reaches
Panama and Tells of Conditions
in Nicaragua.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 24.-The
Picayune's cable from Panama says:
Edgar C. Harris, of Columbus, Ohio,
an American commercial traveler, who
has been touring Central America in the
interest of an American exporting firm,
arrived here yesterday from Corlnto, Ni
caragua.
According to Harris' statement, a num
ber of Americans are in jail at Managua
and other places in Nicaragua, having
been arrested on orders from Zelaya.
Every American business tnan in Nica
ragua who refused to contribute to war
fund levied by Zelaya was promptly ar
rested and thrown into prison.
A few of the Americans who were ar
rested bought their way out of jail by pay
ing the price demanded, but a number
are still held incommunicado.
Harris says it is unsafe for an Amer
ican to appear in the section of Nicara
gua controlled by Zelaya. He was him
self subjected to jibes and insults at
Corinto, and left the place on the first
available steamer.
Rear Admirals Gloomy
Over Nicaragua Affair
WASHINGTON. Nov. 24—There is
gloom among the rear admirals of the
navy. Now comes along the first inter
national rumpus in which tlie United
States has figured in years and it is
with Nicaragua, a countrv entirely too
weak to permit them to fight with dignity
and self-respect. Probably the nearest
a rear admiral will get to “the scene of
activity” in event there should be one,
will be Washington. A lot of them are
here now.
Officers of the rank of commander would
be in command of the little ships that
would be employed against Nicaragua.
Costa Rica Authorities
Helping Revolutionists
PORT CORTEZ. Spanish Honduras,
Nov. 19, via New Orleans, Nov. 24.
Telegraphic advices received here today
from Managua are to the effect that it is
the belief in Nicaragua that the govern
ment authorities in Port Limon, Costa
Rica, and former President Tafael Igle
sias and his following had aided the Nic
araguan revolutionists. This information
came from a high official *of Nicaragua,
who said that his aid had been stopped
through the petitions of the charge
d’affaires of Nicaragua at the Costa Ri
can capital, backed by Ricardo Jiminez,
Costa Rican presidential nominee and
his party.
According to the statement from Man
agua, the protest was filed after the de
feat of the rebel General Elimiana Cham
orro at La Colorado, which preceded the
occupation of Greytown. On the rep
resentations of the Nicaraguan charge,
the Port Limon commandant ordered the
reconcentratlop in San Jose of 43 soldiers
from General Chamorro's army, who had
escaped after the defeat and were being
held at Colorado Bar, in Costa Rican ter
ritory.
Before the prisoners could be sent to
San Jose, however. General Chamorro ar
rived with his men at Colorado Bar. He
overpowered the guards and compelled
them to embark along with the 43 priso
ners for Blueflelds. The recapture of the
reconcentrated men was an easy one
because the guard consisted of only 13
men.
Washington Waits for
Detailed Information
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—The Nicara
guan situation today stood exactly where
it was last Sunday night, when Secretary
Knox stated that the department was
waiting tor detailed information from
Managua before taking any further
steps. The vice consul at that capital.
Mr. Caldera, is presumably working on
the case, but so far nothing has been
heard from him.
The department appreciates the tact
that the vice consul is laboring at gjeat
disadvantage and believes it to be more
than likely that every obstacle in the
way of obtaining exact information of
the circumstances connected with the ar
rest and the execution of the two Ameri
cans is being put in his way. Th» de
partment is especially anxious to obtain
full information as to the status of the
Americans when arrested, particularly as
to whether or not they were co-operating
with the revolutionist army.
A dispatch to the navy department to
day announced the departure of the Ta
coma from Cristobal for Port Limon,
Costa Rica. The Marietta is on her way
from Guantanamo to Port Limon. It is
said by the naval authorities that these
vessels are going to Costa Rica for pur
poses of surveying.
A Health Guard
Is a great blessing in a sickly season,
especially when such diseases as the grip,
pneumonia, and dypththeria. which are so
serious in themselves or their effects, are
goins the rounds.
Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills are the
best health guards, keeping up the purity
and abundance of the blood, the vigor
and tone of all the organs and functions.
They are often the stitch in time that
saves nine. Take them for protection and
begin taking them now.
Louisa Thrall, Francis, says: “We
find Hood’s Sarsaparilla excellent for
toning up the system. It keeps us well
and strong."
Accept no substitutes for Hood’s Sar
saparilla and Pills, for no substitutes act
like them.
TURKEYS IN CHICAGO
BRING EXORBITANT PRICE
CHICAGO. Nov. 24.—The price of
Thanksgiving day turkey in Chicago has
again been advanced. In 1907 it could be
bought for 25 cents a pound. In 1908 it
climbed a little higher, selling at 26 and
27c. This year it will cost from 28 to 30
cents a pound. Ten years ago a Chicago
department store advertised the’follow
ing bill of fare for 11.95:
Nine-pound turkey.
Enough plum pudding for four.
Mince meat enough for three pies.
Bunch of celery.
Turkey seasoning.
Pound of parsley.
Quart of cranberries.
Pound of mixed nuts.
Three pounds sweet potatoes.
The same bill of fare this year will
cost $4.25. Vegetables are much cheaper
than they have been in past years. This
year cranberries can be had for $7 a bar
rel. Last year people who wanted a bar
rel of them had to pay sl2.
DYNAMITING OF TOWN
MYSTERY FOR POLICE
GLASGOW, Ky., Nov. 23.—A court of
inquiry has been in session for several
days at Tompkinsville, in Monroe county
for the purpose of finding out who dyna
mited that town on election night. Two
hundred witnesses were examinated, but
all efforts failed to secure sufficient evi
dence to convict any one.
It was learned here today that more
than 20 buildings on the public square
had been damaged and the loss is a heavy
one.
The dynamiting is believed to have been
done by persons in the town prompted by
imaginary grudges growing out of the
election.
MODN WILL VANISH
ON FRIDAY NIGBI
Total Eclipse Will Begin at 1
o’Clock and Last Over Two
Hours —Will Be an Interesting
Spectacle.
The moon entering the penumbra of the
earth’s shadow.
Announcement is made by the gentle
men who keep cases on the movemen s
of the heavenly bodies and Atlanta s
weather that there will be something do
ing among the celestial worlds n
“wee sma’ hours” of Friday night, o
rather Saturday morning. .
Beginning at 1:11 a. m.. according to
the officials of the United States weathei
bureau, there will be an occultation
whatever that is-of the moon by the
shadow of the earth.
Investigation of the meaning of tms
startling news developed the fact tha
there will be an eclipse of the moon Fri
day night, beginning at 1:11 a. na. and
lasting until 4:38 o'clock. At 2:18 tne
moon will be totally obscured, and she
will remain absolutely dark until 3:33.
People who sit up in Atlanta until the
hour mentioned, and who are otherwise
in a condition to do so, wi’l have an ex
cellent view of the “occultation," which
will be very nice for them and absolutely
Inoffensive to the moon.
The scientific reason for the eclipse is
that the earth, moon and sun will be di
rectly In line, with the earth between
the other two bodies. When our earth is
93,000,000 miles from the sun, its shadow
pokes out on the other side like a fishing
rod for a trifle of 857,300 miles. As every
body who moves in good society knows,
the moon is a mere stone’s throw, a
measly 230.000 miles away from us. It
will be at once apparent that when the
moon strolls casually through the shadow
of the earth it will cease to shine, and go
out after the manner df a candle. Just
like'rthat.
It may not be amiss at this point to
call attention to the fact that—popular
impression to the contrary the moon
shines with a reflected radiance, as do
lesser luminaries in other walks of life,
and does not give out beams like an arc
light.
Astronomers make great preparations to
study such an eclipse, because it is only
during the few moments of totality that
the pale corona which surrounds the sun
can be seen. Formerly the red flames
known as solar prominences could be
seen only during a total eclipse, but the
spectroscope now affords excellent op
portunities for observing them. Lunar
eclipses are of some astronomical impor
tance, since they have helped us to fix
certain dates of events in ancient history.
The date of the Christian era is determin
ed by referring to an eclipse of the moon
which Occurred the night before Herod
dUd.
Another interesting use of a lunar eclipse
is t> e opportunity afforded the possessor
of a telescope to study the moon's sur
fae» during the rapid changes produced
by tlie sudden reduction of light. Certain
lunar craters, such as the small crater
Linne, are surrounded by a grayish or
white halo which is conspicuous at sun
rise. but which becomes very small or
vanishes entirely during the middle of the
lunar day. There is evidence that the
halo of Linne suddenly became larger
during a total eclipse of the moon to re
cent years.
The atmosphere surrounding the earth
deflects the sun's light, and thus causes
the moon at the* time of a total eclipse to
bp faintly illuminated by a copper-colored
light. The amount of illumination de
pends upon the condition of the earth's
atmosphere at the points through which
the sun’s rays are deflected. If clouds
are present, the atmosphere Is more or
less opaque, and therefore cuts off the
light which would otherwise make the
disk of the moon visible. In the eclipse
of 1886 such an event occurred, the moon
becoming entirely Invisible to the naked
eye. ’
TENNESSEE GOVERNOR
TURNS OUT PRISONERS
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 23.—“1 have

“and I am going next to.the work houses
in Nashville and Davidson county. Con
ditions in some of these detention sta
tions are worse than people who never
visit them can realize. It is inhuman to
keep some of these prisoners in confine
ment any longer in their misery.”
Seven of these are negroes—one only 10
years old. One has consumption in its
last stages. Three are paralyzed. All
are diseased and disabled, and one, whose
right arm is completely paralyzed, was
tnere for the crime of sleeping in a box
car. The governor went into the place
and saw for himself the conditions. Im
mediately upon his return to Nashville he
issued the pardon orders.

SIX BURN 10 DEATH
IN TENEMENTHOUSE
One Hundred Italians Sleeping ir
House Intended for Only Four
Families —Gave Alarm by
Shooting Guns.
NEW YORK. Nov. 24.—At least six per*
sons were burned to death and ten se
riously Injured in a fire which swept,
through a tenement house in Havens
place. Brooklyn, before daylight today.
When the fire had been controlled' a
search of tpe house revealed six bodies,
most of. them burned beyond recognition.
I They were those of two women, one man
and 3 children, the latter apparently be
tween the ages of 2 and 4 years. Another
woman is missing and she may have been
consumed in the flames.
NEARLY W TN BUILDING-
The tenement, which was intended for
the use of only 4 families was really oc
cupied by 8 families and most of these
had numerous boarders. The police said
there were nearly 100 persons crowded in
the structure and asleep when the fire
broke out. All of them were Italians.
Instead of sending in a fire alarm, the
first occupants to be aroused by the
flames began firing revolvers from the
windows and this added to the panic.
Starting in the cellar, the fire choked
! the narrow stairways and before the fire
men arrived a dozen persons had either
leaped from the windows or had jumped
to a one-story extension in the rear.
A woman who leaped from a second
story window is believed to have sustain
ed fatal injuries. Most of the others who
jumped were also injured.
WOMAN S HEROISM FATAL.
The first firemen to arrive took out
scores of persons on ladders. Mrs. Rose
Caravilla was carried down from her
second floor apartment and upon reach
ing the street, she broke away from the
firemen and dashed back into the smoke
and flame filled building to rescue her
two small children. She was not seen,
alive again, but later her body and tho««
of her children were found.
Police reserves from several stations
were called to quell the panic which had
spread to neighboring tenements in this
foreign section of the city and much
trouble was experienced.
Ten of the injured were taken to hos
pitals where it was said several may die.
The police did not discover the cause of
the fire.
One of the exciting incidents occurred
when Mrs. Rose Monteforte, 21 years, ap
peared at a third foor window with her
one-year baby in her arms. She remain
ed there calling for help until the window
showed red with flames, when she threw
the child to the crowd below and then
jumped from the window.
The baby was caught by a man in the
I crowd and was not seriously injured. The
I mother failed to clear a coping, and strik-
I ing on that she rolled off to the sidewalk,
| sustaining probably fatal injuries. :
• INDIANAPOLIS MAYOR
ELECT MAY BE INDICTED
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Nov. 23. The
Mr.rian county grand jury today began
an investigation of charges that Samuel
Lewis Shank, the Republican mayor
elect. had violated a state statute, mak
ing it a criminal offense for a candidate
to obtain the assistance of an elector by
promises of appointment to office. Two
councilmen who. it is alleged, received
from Shank promises of offifees appear
ed before the grand jury today.
Shank’s appointments generally since
his election have not agreed with the
“slate” arranged by him with his politi
cal adherents before election, and a po
litical feud of a bitterness unexampled
in the history of this city has arisen.
