He was Mr. Hippie's chief clerk during tne hitter's term, and as such clerk, is charged with charging extortionate fees for examining the condition of insurance companies. It is expected that he will bo prosecuted criminally. It is said of him that he entered the office a poor man, and that he is now worth several thousand dollars. It is intimated here that his resignation was not voluntary.

There is considerable discussion here as to whether Anderson's resignation came as a voluntary act on his part or whether it was requested by May hew.

STILL HOLDS OUT The Jury in the Luetgert Case Have as Tet Been Unable to Decide Upon a Verdict HO VERDICT BEFORE TOMORROW The Judge Has Announced His Intension of Having the Jury Out All Night Unless They Agree tates Attorney Deneen Says That He Has Good Information That the Jury Stood Eight to Four for Conviction-Jurors Very Tired. Chicago, Oct.

19. Weary and worn, the jury in the Luetgert case early this morning resumed deliberations. All discussions ceased shortly after 2 this morning and the tired jurors slept as best they might on tables, floor and chairs. At 7 they began to stir and soon were engaged refreshing themselves by the application of cold water to their swollen eyes and wan cheeks. The bailiff took their order for breakfast and half an hour later it was served.

After the meal was disposed of murmurs were heard coming from the room which indicated that discussion was in progress. Soon this ceased and silence again reigned. Then a rumor ran about that the jury had agreed to disagree and this was followed by a report that a verdict of guilty was voted and there was a deadlock on the punishment. Still another report had it that the jury stood ight for conviction and four for quittal. Over in the jail Luetgert was early astir.

The prisoner was permitted to leave his cell and exercise in the corridors alone but for the corridor guard. The big sausage maker soon lit a cigar and continued his walk seemingly in fairly good spirits. To the Associated Press Luetgert said: "I slept well last night and ate a hearty breakfast this morning. I could eat another in a little while. I believe I will be acquitted.

Every hour the jury is out makes it better for me. But you can't teli just what a jury will do after all," concluded the prisoner after a pause. At 10 o'clock Judge Tuthill sent word that he was within easy reach and would come to the court room immediately upon notification that his presence was desired. Shortly after 10 o'clock the bailiffs came from the jury room and secured a blank form for a verdict and it was supposed by way of explanation for this that the jurors had destroyed one of the forms for a verdict read them yesterday by Judge Tuthill and taken with them to the jury room. A rumor was in circulation that a verdict was1 signed but afterwards one or two of the jurors changed their minds so the document was torn to pieces.

It may be positively stated at 11 that the jury has not yet reached a decision. They may be heard still discussing the evidence. The bailiffs are guarding the door to see that no intimation of their action gets outside of the room. A bailiff announced at 11:30 that Judge Tuthill had sent word that he would remain at home during the day and would not come to the court room until he was sent for. About noon Judge Tuthill arrived at the court house in response to a summons from the jury and everybody was agog for a time.

The judge consulted with the attorneys of both sides for a time. It turned out that the jury was dissatisfied with the breakfast furnished them and wanted to know whether Tio inio-Q wrmM nnt nrder a more ap' Betizine dinner. At the conclusion of the pnnsnitntinn with the attorneys Judee Tuthill said he ordered a good dinner for the lurv. It was arranged that he should return to the court at 3 p. m.

The judge added if the jury did not agree this afternoon he would keep them out an that the bailiff in rhnrvo nt thn InrV brought Judge Tut hill information that the jury had not agreed and there was no prospect or a verdict today. TVio v.oi;f ia strengthening that the Tesult will be a disagreement. This is strengthened by the fact that at about p. m. the jury canea ior us This afternoon State's Attorney De-Been informed the Associated Pres3 that his latest and best information on the attitude of the jury was that they stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal.

Those for acquittal favoring the death penalty. Those for con-vxietion are Boyd, Heckhold, Bibby, USE" George Pullman, the Chicago Mil-lionaire, Died Early This Morning of Heart Disease. Chicago, Oct. 19. George M.

Pullman died suddenly of heart disease at 6 o'clock this morning. Death occurred at his magnlfteant resideuce on Prairie avenue and Eighteenth street. He was found dead in bed. Mr. Pullman retired last evening at the usual early hour, in apparently ordinary health, with no indication of this demise, or indeed, any premonition of his illness.

Mrs. Pullman was absent in New York but she was at once informed and uok the train for Chicago, but In the excitement attending the sudden passing of the palace car magnate no word was sent to the officers in charge of the immense works which bear his name and thousands of the employes went to work as usual. Nothing was, known of the shadow vwucn naa lanen on tne town till a newspaper man arrived from the city and began to inquire as to the feeling of the citizens. Immediately preparations were made to close the big shops. While seemingly in general good health Pullman had complained of an uncomfortable feeling for the last three or four days of the recent hot spell.

He awoke at 4:30 this morning, called his body servant and spoke of feeling uncomfortable. The family physician, Dr. Billings, was sent for at once, but Pullman grew rapidly worse and died before the physician arrived. George Mortimer Pullman was born in Chautauqua county, New York, March 3, 1831. At 14 he became a clerk in a country store and then with his brother went into the cabinet making business.

He came to Chicago and engaed in raising buildings. Meantime he was wrorking out the idea of the sleeping car. The first car "Pioneer" was completed in 18G5 and from this beginning has grown the great Pullman system. SLAIN BY A LUNATIC G. A.

THE WEATHER A Bonanza Kngof the Klondike Tells His Expectations of the District BE FROM 461 DEVELOPED CLAIMS He Bases His Estimation Upon the Product of Over Four Hundred of the Developed Mines In One Day's Work of Twelve Hours a Single Man 8hoveled in Two Millions in Gold Bust Will Be Brought Back. Seattle, Oct. 19.

Pat Galvin, one of the bonanza kings of the Klondike, who arrived in the city of To-peka, says of the probable output: "There are 461 claims which have been operated sufficiently to prove their richness. There are 280 claims already staked out but not developed. By reason of their location near other claims already shown to be very rich have no doubt they will prove equal to the others. "Taking these claims and figuring out their cubic contents and making a conservative estimate, I do not see why the output from those claims alone will fall short of $50,000,000." Mr. Galvin unhesitatingly declared that nothing which had been published so far as he knew even approximated the truth of what is really known of these great gold fields.

John F. Maloney of Juneau, who came out from Dawson with the Galvin party, says: "Hunker creek and Gold Bottom creek, it is conceded will equal, if not rival, the now famous Bonanza and Eldorado creeks. More especially is this true of Hunker creek. Location No. 33 on that creek is among the richest in the Klondike district.

"Many of the claims on this creek will run $2,000 to the box. On No. 3( Eldorado, Alexander McDonald's claim one man in a shift and a half (twelve hours) shoveled in $20,000. "On Skookum Gulch, which enters Bonanza No. 2 above Discovery, on location Nos.

Ma loney says that over $2,000,000 will come out this fall. DESERT THE TRAIL. Juneau. Alaska. Oct.

19. The last packers have left the trails and are re turning to their homes by way of Juneau. A party which arrived yester day lost all their horses by starvation on the inland side of the White Pas's. A large party from Salt Lake City ar rived on the last steamer with a fear fullv and wonderfully constructed steam craft with which they expected to navigate the Copper river. They were told that none of them would live to bring a piece of it back, and aban doned the attempt.

They may go into the Klondike next spring. Steamboat men here say half a mil lion neonle are coming this way next SDrine and greatest possible prepara tions are being made here to handle the crowds. Every incoming steamer brings Klondikers who are divided between wintering here and making the foolhardy attempt to get in at this time of year. Charles Hooper, a local architect, has received a letter from his brother on the other side of the earth at Johannesburg saying that many are leaving there for Alaska and that hundreds are preparing to abandon the Transvaal for the Yukon country.

19. Richard Raddatz will shortly take his submarine boat to Milwaukee for a trial in deep water, making the voyage down the Fox, provided he obtains permission from the war department to navigate the great lakes. The craft has been classified by the war department as a vessel of war. due Mr. Raddatz thinks, to the notoriety that has been given the boat through the newspa pers.

As a war vessel is not allowed on the great lakes under a treaty between the United States and Great Britain enacted in the early part of the present century, Mr. Raddatz is having considerable trouble in convincing the war department that his boat Is not an armed cruiser and that it is intended for exploring purposes rather than for naval purposes. Until the department withdrays the craft from its present classification Mr. Raddatz will be unable to move her from inland waters.

God manifests himself to man, not man seeking to see and know God, but God anxious to show himself to man. Love is settled, not transient, but abiding eternal.

This love holds the world in its exist ence. God works with his fingers so infinitely that we cannot even think of the smallness of an atom. Yet we can thoroughly comprehend the height and depth and length and breadth of love. There is affectional truth that man will die for us. There are heights in God's love that are summitless to us; we be-seach men to be saved not only for love's sake, but for intellectual greatness.

But God urges to this intellectual growth. God loves beauty; God loves music. God is holy and wants man to be holy, tint especially to wholly. Thus is a complete, entire, symmetrical man. We can bo full of the fullness of God.

Bishop Warren's seroon, Eph. We are like people whom we appreciate most highly. It is like a person by nature, we get like him by grace.

Doubting Thomas got so completely out of doubt and became so efficient a worker that India still feels his influence. So Paul wielded more influence than ten men today. Then If we are like any to whom Paul wrote, study this letter and aid ourselves. The Bible gives us the loftiest thoughts. but it also gives power to attain unto this lofty ideal.
