CIRL'S SLAYER UNDER ARREST. ' Joseph Wendling, Murderer of Alma Kellner, Caught in San Francisco. Long Man-Hunt Finally Ended. Pri soner Admits His Identity, but De nies Any Knowledge of Crime Which Startled World by Its Bru tality. San 'Francisco, Cal., July 30.? i Dragged from beneath a sink in the ? wash-room of a Third Street lodging house, where he had been hiding for i twenty-four hours, Joseph A. Wend- t )lng, accu.-i'| of tl:e murder of little 1 ?>ight-yearfol t Alma Kellner In Louis- i vllle, Kthe n nn who has baffled | the police for four months, wan ar rested to-day by Detectives liurke and i Ryan, of the local police department, i Wendling admitted Ills Identity, but | protested his Innocence of the crime. A few hours after the arrest Cap tain of Detectives J. P. Carney, of i Louisville, arrived to learn that his j 11,000-mile search for Wendling had | been crowned with success. It was 11 the telegraphed tip from the Ken tucky detective which led to the arrest. For the arrest of Wendling $3,000 I Teward has been offered?$1,000 by Kred D. Kellner, father of the pretty eight-year-old victim; $500 by (lov ernor Wlllson, of Kentucky, and $.">00 by Colonel John H. Whalen, pol itician, and $1,000 by the city of L<oulsville. The little girl disappeared Decem ber 8. For months It was believed that she had been kidnapped, and the entire middle west was scoured on various clews, several letters de manding ransom being received by her relatives. At the end of May the girl's body was found hidden in the basement of a parish house of St. John's Catholic church, a short distance from her | home. She had been trapped while on her way to church. Then It was found that Wendling had disappeared on January 14, when | he believed the search was growing ?dangerous for him. A world-wide hunt for him was begun. It was thought he might have returned to Europe, having coni' from France hut a few years Iwfon- he secured the Job of Janitor *1 St. -John's church. HJ? wife was arrested, held sev eral days and released. Several bus- , juf'C'U were tak>-n into custody at va fiaat points, lint little definite on the j cam- turned up after the last of the llttV girl's clothing had been found uldften In the church. Though her 'ttofly was mutilated and sewed in a of carpet, attempts evidently 'ttarlng been made to burn It, the Aratlflcatlon was certain. A week ;.<**> it was reported that Wendllng vwas in Italy, and American consuls \*ere asked to further the search there. This is now believed to have J>een but a ruse to throw the authori ties here off the track. BLACKS ONCE THE RULERS. Traces Fonud In Sudan of Failed Empires. Report* Made of Ar chaeological Investigations in Ba sins of Niger and Senegal. I'arls. July 110.?That powerful ne gro empires of great si7.e and some culture existed In the Sudan before the white races enterd Africa Is the conviction of a French Scientist, M. Zeltner, who reports in L.a Nature on the result of his archaeological in vestigations in the basins of the ri sers Niger and Senegal. Within a triangle formed by the towns of Tlmbuctoo, Kayes, and Bam ako he located flftv-two archaeologi cal deposits consisting of ruins of unknown cities. M. Zeltner's most Interesting finds were made in caves on the Upper Senegal. Here an Abundance of runic signs and draw ings were found traced on rocks. They were similar in character to those discovered In South African caverns. The writings have some resemblance to those signs found on ancient ruins further eastward in the Sahara Ilesert, and are believed by M. Zeltner to be related to the pres ent Tuareg alphabet. The discoveries made have yet to be thoroughly studied. M. Zeltner thInl - that the archaeological explo ration of the African continent is yet in its Infancy and will doubtless yield surprising results In establish ing the advanced state of develop ment attained by the black races In early times. ? ? ?

WHEAT KING CLEARS MILLION. ? i M jnipualtion of Waterman's July Corner l? Terminated Successfully, i Chicago Board of Trade. A Dra matic Session. Chicago. July 30.?Theodore H. Waterman, the Albany and Chicago millionaire grain speculator, won jver $1,000,000 In his corner In July I wheat. This was the estimate placed on he winnings of the "new king of he wheat pit" by the Chicago bro kers to-day after the close of one of j he most dramatic cessions seen on he Hoard of Trade In recent years, j The |>lt closed without any pro nouni I'd squeezing of the shorts, and j many private settlements, it is sta ted, were made during the day. Mr. Waterman, who Is tacked by the 'Klevator Combine," according to the report, was unsatisfied with the Finish of the corner. To shake out tils long string of followers, as has l>oen Ills custom in the past, he "milked the market In the closing hours of the session by forcing the price down 5 cents by heavy selling, and then by buying all that was of fered, raised It at the close to $1.05 to $1.0.1 1-2, materially adding to his already enormous profits. Mr. Waterman, with the Armour Grain Company and the Peavey Grain Company, Is said to have carried a line of approximately 10.000,000 bush els of July wheat. He started to ac cumulate this line when wheat was around 95 cents. Deliveries on July contracts to-day were ?85,000 bushels, which were re ceived and paid for by grain houses acting for the Albany millionaire. In all. during the manipulation of the market, 3.500.000 bushels were deliv ered on July contract, which amount of "grain corpse" Mr. Waterman Is now carrying. DEATH REAPS RICH TOLL.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of I DEATH IN CLAYTON LAST WEEK. Mr. M. M. Gulley Pasted Away Wed nesday Night?Death Not Unex pected and Wai Caused by Pella gra?Deceased Prominent Mason. As we go to press, the last that is mortal of Marcellus M. Gulley Is be ing borne to its final resting place, and the brave spirit that has com batted with death so long, free from Its pain-racked earthly tenement, has gone to meet the reward of an hon est and well spent life. Strlck'-n five months ago with that dread diffuse, pellagra, he tfrew steadily weaker, and for several weeks it has been apparent that death was near, bui the news of the end came with a distinct shock to the community this morning. About eWht o'clock last night be began to sink rapidly, and at 11:25, with scarcely a tremor to mark the change be quietly passed away. The deceased was the son of Wal- ; ter W. and Evelyne Gulley, born Au gust 27th, 1854. He was married to Sophia A. Kills September, 1877. Possessed of strong Christian traits , of character, he has been at all times a power for good In the church and In education. For many years he has been a deacon in the Baptist ' church, and at the time of his death and for several years prior he was a member of the Clayton School Board. In both offices he was a cre dit to the community and an honor to himself.

London, July 30?Sir Lauder Brun ton, one of Engalnd's most eminent phjTBlclana, tnld the public health congress that nu t at Birkenhead that he believed the large increase of ap I pendlcitis durl! g the last twenty | years was due to modern methods of grinding wheat into flour. Sir Lauder said that years ago wheat was always ground between two millstones, but to-day it was ground between steel rollres, which really acted like scissors, the wheat being cut up. Wheat ground in the new way would be different under the microscope from that ground un der old-fashioned conditions, and I there might be a different tendency attributable to this. Sir Lauder said he had seen an extraordinary report on epidemic neu ritis in America, which, it was stat j ed, was produced by polished rice, j If the patients ate the rice without j its being polished, they got well. This j showed how minute alterations would produce extraordinary changes In the individual. I Miraculous Surgery. The successful "sewing up" of hu , man hearts Is getting to be some 'thing of a commonplace nowadays. A j Philadelphia doctor yesterday took ; five stitches in a wounded heart i (cut open by a dagger) and the man is said to be on the road to re ! covery. It was the second heart op eration of this surgeon within a month or two. His previous patient got well. i There are now on record some where near a hundred cases of sur gical operations upon the human heart, and the death rate, consider ing the extreme gravity of the opera itlon. is surprisingly low. When it is remembered that the heart is in practically constant motion, that its .complete stoppage means immediate death, and that the delicate surgical ; manipulations necessary to repairing i s \vou?ids have to be performed up on a throbbing and more or less in ! accessible piece of tissue, the man ual skill and coolness demanded of the heart surgeon will be better ap preciated.?Charlotte Chronicle.

An occasional well meaning cltl z n expresses doubt as to the advis ability of using detectives in the ef forts to enforce anti-liquor laws. Cer tain newspapers, unfriendly to tem perance legislation and Its enforce ment, take great delight in the use cf such words "underhanded" and "sneaking" ,in describing the opera tions of anti-saloon detective forces; while numerous bargain lawyers, in the employ of the law-breaking in terest, make their main pleas to Ju ries in liquor cases on the score of the so-called "spying system" by which the evidence is secured. The individual who honestly doubts the policy of using detectives shows at once a surprising lack of know ledge both of human nature and the American scheme of government. It is perhaps safe to say that there is not a criminal law upon the Federal statute books that Is not at least partially enforced by the use of de tectives. Most state criminal laws require the use of detectives to make them enforceable. It would be absolutely impossible to operate the government of a large city without tne mousanas or piain ciouies men who make It possible to apprehend vioaltors of the law; and there is no question but that without the use of detectives in various ways by feder al. state and municipal authorities half the criminal code would immedi ately become a dead letter. In short, if the use of detectives to enforce an ti-liquor laws and other laws is questionable, then the entire system of American government, in so far as the criminal code is concerned, is questionable.?The American Issue.
