MURDER 1ST FOUL
Robbed and Left to Bleed to
Death.
POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING
Felled by a Blow Over the Eyes and
Dragged to a Doorway Where Arte
ries in Both Wrist Were Opened. Po
lice are Busy.
Chicago, July 24. Tlie polk believe
that the death of John Tesmer at the
county hospital yesterday, an hour after
he had been found in a doorway at Ash
land Avenue and Emily streets, wa
due to injuries inflicted by men who
had attacked htm.
Tesmer, who in a prosperous real es
tate dealer, had collected rent at sever
al places and was going to his home
when he was attacked by robbers. A
blow ou the left eye, which left an ugly
cut, is believed to have knocked him
unconH'ious. He was" dragged into a
hallway where he was found several
hours later.
Several cuts were found on Tesnier's
hands and aims. Two long gashes,
which opened the arteries of Jhe wrists
are believed to have been inflicted de
liberately while the man was in the
power of the bandits. After the rob
bers had taken Tesnier's watch) and
$53 from him they sat' him in an upright
position and left him to bleed to death
from the severed arteries in his wrists.
Search for Tesmer't assailants has so
far been unavailing.
The asset, however, will be suftieietitlj
large to pay all the claims and leave
a considerable surplus.

Some People Have Learned How to Get
Kid of Both.
Backache1 and kidneyache are twin
brothers,
You can't separate them.
And yon can't get rid of the backache
until yon cure the kidneyache.
If the kidneys are well and strong the
rest of the system is pretty sure to be
in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pill make strong,
healthy kidneys.
It B. MeCarver, of 201 Cherry street.
Portland. Oregon, inspector of freight
for the Transcontinental Company, a
man who is very well known among the
railroaders of the coast, says, 'Doan's
Kidney Pills are among the few pro
prietary remedies which do all that is
claimed for them, and they have my
thorough confidence. I used them for
backache and other very marked symp
toms of kidney trouble which had an
noyed me for months. I think a cold
was responsible for the whole trouble.
It seemed to settle in my kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills rooted it out. It is
several months sinse I used them and up
to date there has been no re-occurrence
of the trouble. I have recommended
them to a number of the lioys about the
freight house nnd I know if the gave
them a fair trial they certainly must
have been pleased with the results."

There's one thing in particular that has gained for

man into the canal. Although the water
was shallow, the unfortunate man wa ',
drowned owing to his landing head first

An inquiry wa held, but the Chinese
witnesses failed to identify the culprit j

ative received no satisfaction in the
matter for nearly a year when blood
money wa offered to the extent of 1.VKI
and even when thi was about to be ac
cepted the American authorities drew
back and endeavored to bargain. '
A Chinese journal commented most,
bitterly on the affair amf among other
remark said that if it had been a for

have been raised and ten time the
amount demanded. Thi I perfectly
true, for did not flermany occupy Kian

until it spread well over Shantung.
The fact that the sailors wore the uni

the case more serious and ft is only
natural that if in the future the Chinese

The excitement over the foregoing ha
hardly subsided, when another case for
friction arise and thi will no doubt'

standpoint and be will tell you the
power of the Chinese guild; the trade

comparison, for the guild i composed
of both the master and the man, cap

The principal guild ha held a large
