STILL LOOKING FOR OWNERS Trying to Solve the Myjtery of the Revolver That Killed Cae sar Young in New York. S WOMAN'SBROTHERSUMMONED ! Thought lie Can Tel! Some- thing to the Grand Jury About the Ownership of the Weapon. New York, June i, After a second effort within 84 hours to secure from J. Morgan Smith, brother-in-law of Mrs. Nan Patterson, any Information ha may possess as to the ownership of the revolver which killed Bookmaker Prank T. Toung, a subpoena has been served directing Smith to appear before the grand Jury today. Detective have been at work con stantly since the tragedy, which oc curred Saturday morning In a cab, to trace the ownership of the revolver, whereby tbey expect to unravel the mystery surrounding the affair. It was at first stated that the weapon had probably been shipped by a local firm to San Francisco. This was found. however, to be incorrect and now It is definitely said that It was sold over the counter here. This occurred in 1893, when Toung was In San Fran cluco and another person connected with the affair is understood to have been In New York. 4 Mrs. Patterson's brother-in-law, who was called to the district attorney's office yesterday and examined at length, was visited several hours later by detectives and upon refusing to answer their questions, he was served with a subpoena. A well known young pugilist .from the west who has Just returned from Europe, Is understood to have promised to meet the expense of defending Mrs. Patterson and has made arrangements to furnish ball for her should the court decide upon accepting bond. holding company, and that as its hold ings are in Kentucky it must pay taxes here on Its holdings everywhere, in cluding steamboat, steamship and rail way lines over the world at large. ' As to the compromise effected by Weller, Mr. Blxot says:. The court of appeals decided In the case of the city vs. the Louisville Railway Company that a compromise of a tax suit ope rates only as a credit, and that no taxes can be compromised as to settle the claim except partially, to the extent that the amount paid sets off the amount due." The Floods In Missouri Kansas City, Mo., June I-All the Kansas rivers, except the Walnut and the Terdlgrls, in the southern part of the state, continue to fall today. The streams named are rising slowly and are driving families from the lowlands around Kansas City and Coffey vllle, but It Is not believed that they can go mucn higher. But little rain Is re ported for this part of the southwest today. As the waters subside the great amount of damage wrought becomes apparent The continuous sweep of waer over the farms In the past month has practically ruined many of them, much of the soil being washed away. The water has been over the wheat corn and alfalfa fields so long that the farmers believe that crops are com pletely njlned. The loss to stock will be heavier than at first expected, and as most of the farmers on the bottoms lout their cribs of corn, the stock that escaped drowning is suffering for food. Train service is still demoralized in the southern port of the state, although it la gradually improving.

Ntuchwang, June 8. -(7 a. m.) The burial of Lewis Etzel, correspondent of the London Dally-Telegraph, will take place here this afternoon. He was killed 10 miles out at sea by some Chi nese soldiers who were searching for pirates. Immediately after realizing the mistake they had made, these men put out to sea and have not been seen since. United States Consul General Miller held an inquest at Bhawantaltze yesterday, at which the consul general Lu acknowledged that Etxel was killed by his soldiers. Ernest Brindle of the London Daily Mall, who was along with Etxel when he was shot testified that their junk was unchallenged by the soldiers and was fired upon in spite of the fact that two foreigners were plainly visible at a distance of less than 100 yards. At least 150 shots were fired at the junk, which did not reply. , , , . Consul General Miller will forward his report to United States Minister Conger at Pekln, showing gross care lessness upon the part of the soldiers to say the least While Brindle Is uncommunicative regarding the plans which took him self and Etzel on the sea voyage, the Associated Press correspondent learned that they were attempting to reach Port Arthur. The Russian authorities are doing all in their power to asalst the American officials in the matter. General Kondratovlch placed a steam launch with 25 soldiers under the or ders of Consul General Miller and oth erwise rendered great aid in recover ing the body of Etxel. Consul General Miller has replied to General Kondrato vlch thanking him heartily for his kind ness on behalf of the United States government Chicago's 8ubwSys. Seven million dollars has already been spent in the construction of the tunnel and the establishment of the freight railway system In Chicago. It has been an easy matter to obtain all the cash required for the construction work and for the successful floatlon by the Illinois Tunnel Company of a $50,000,000 corporation, half In stock and half In bonds. At present three electric locomotives and 84 freight cars are running. The Illinois Tun nel Company, the owner of the project has let the contract for 3000 steel cars and 100 electric locomotives. The cars will be employed In hauling every kind of freight Including coal and general merchandise. The electric locomotives have a capacity of 50 tons each on the level and 100 tons on the inclines, which are to be used In connecting the railroad yards and buildings with the tunnels. The cars will each hold 25 barrels of sugar, flour or general mer chandise, or seven tons of coal. One of the most valued services of the underground freight railway will be In relieving the cramped condition of the Chicago railway terminals. Forty per cent of the total railway mileage of the United States has ter minals in downtown Chicago. Thirty eight railroads and railroad systems have terminals here and these thirty- eight are compelled to receive and de liver frtight from a mere half-dozen freight depots. More than $50,000,000 annually is now spent in trucking freight across Chicago from freight terminals to warehouses and stores. The World Today. Southern Pacifio Sued. ' Louisville, Ky June 8. Revenue Agent August W. Blzot todny renewed, by filing another suit, the proceedings inaugurated by William Weller, Jr., during his term as revenue agent, against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company for back taxes on property worth $90,000,000. The actual amount In litigation Is $3,000,000, being taxes at an average rate of 70 cents on the hundred upon a $90,000,000 property for five years. The suit Instituted by Agent Weller resulted In a compromise, the company agreeing to. pay taxes to the extent of $312,00. Weller prayed the recovery of only $1,000,00, while Mr. Blzot asks for $3,050,000. This difference arises out of the difference of conception of the defendant's liability. Mr. Blzot con tends that the Southern Pacing la a A WOMAN'S BACK. The Aches and Pains Will Disappear If This Advice Is Followed. A woman's back has many aches and pains. Most times 'tis the kidneys' fault Backache ia really kidney ache. That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure it Many women know this. Read what one has to say about it: Mrs. Painter, wife of J. W. Painter, expressman, living at 810 East Seventh street Portland, says: "I have had more or less kidney trouble all my life. When quite a young girl I had a severe spell of sickness, and all who knew me thought I was going to die. I finally recovered, but ever after my kidneys bothered me and I have suf fered at times terribly. I could no more lie on myleft side than I could fly, and could not stoop to pick any thing oft the floor without working hands on my hips. In addition to this myself up gradually by placing my there were headaches, dizziness and trouble with the kidney secretions, for all of which I doctored and used more than one remedy said to be a sure cure for such annoyances. Nothing brought me relief compared with that received from Doan's Kidney Pills.
