"What Shall I Do?"
That Is tiie problem which frequently j
confrouts everyone?especially parents j
with small ch'ldren. A slight illness
treated at once often saves a long ,
period of sickness aud expense?some- j
times prevents death. The trouble is :
that so few people can think on the in- I
etant what treatment to apply, even if '
they have the knowledge necessary to j
recognise the disease and know ^bat !
simple remedies are best. To meet V >a
want at buiall expense the Book Pub- j
lishing House, 134 Leonard street. New
iYork City, is sending postpaid a doctor j
?, book on receipt of sixty cents in ,
atamps. The book is illustrated, con- |
tains 598 pages, explains symptoms, i
causes and simple means of overcoming '
.. ordinary illnesses. It was written by '
the eminent J. Hamilton Ayres. A. M.t j

A Discoverer of Geniuses.
Much surprise was expressed ia j
Germany when it was announced that i
> Michael Georg Conrad had just cele- 1
brated his sixtieth birthday. His !
name as a critic and magazine writer j
had so persistently been associated j
with those of the latest lights in lit- |
erature; art and music, that few real- j
ized he would soon join the ranks of
the veterans. His magazine, Die Ge- I
sellschaft, seemed to exist for the j
sole purpose of discovering or cham- j
jpioning strong individualities. He i
was one of the most ardent defend- j
ers in Germany of Zola; he broke j
lances for Nietzsche, Ibsen, Wagner, ;
Liliencron, Falke and many others |
??f o Hmo nrhdn fhpv were the under i
dogs. His magazine has ceased to j
/ exist; his constant swimming against i
the stream did not prove profitable, j

Prayed For More Snakes.
In a rural town in Michigan lived I
a family named Beaver noted for [
their hardihood in all manner ot' ;
naughtiness. They were the great |
torment of the minister's life. Finally,
one of the boys was bit by a rattlesnake
and sent for him. He found
the lad greatly scared and very penitent.
After some consideration, the
reverend gentleman closed the interview
by prayer.
"O Lord." ho began, "we thank !
Thee for rattlesnakes. We thank I
Thee that a rattlesnake has bit Jim.
Send another, we pray Thee, to bite j
Tom, and one to bite Joe. And, O
Lord, send the Wiggest kind of a rattlesnake
to bite the old man; for j
nothing less than rattlesnakes will j
bring this Beaver family to repent- I
ance."?Methaphysical Magazine.
Perils Lurk in the Clothes Brash.
The brushing of dusty clothes in the
living rooms of the household is opposed
to cleanly sentiment, apar*. alto- j
gether from the evil to health, which, I
as the bacteriology of dii.^Jt distinctly j
indicates, mi?ht easily L?a caused uy i
the process. The imagination does not
require to be stretched very far t;>
realize that the clothes brush might be
easily responsible for the dissemination
of disease. Dust is rarely, if ever, i
free from micro-organisms, and anions
them pathogenic entities have been ;
recognized. Dust is, in fact, an enemy {
to the human race, a vehicle of disease, !
and should everywhere and on every
occasion, however trifling, be prevented J
as far as means can be employed to
that end.
Altered in Repairing.
A man in Chicago, says a writer iu
Judge, found himself iu the chair of a ,
strange barber, to whom his features,
although unfamiliar, seemert to carry 1
some reminiscent suggestion.
"Have you been here before?" risked
the haircutter.
"Once," said the man.
"Strange I do not recognizc your
face."
"Not at all." said the man. "It
changed a good deal as it healed."
The Art of Writing Well.
"Good writing brings other satisfac
tions besides mere incomes." The ar>
of writlug well is as great as the art ot
building well, painting well, staging 01
playing well; it is more important thai:
of these, and more difficult. There is
much good writing done, but good onlj
in some particulars. Writing is a greai
art which requires special preparation
?nd training. Try writing a sonnet
every day for twelve mouths. Wrltf
anything, write everything.?Walter H

KENTUCKY FEUDISTS GIVE

Fear of Assassination Keeps Witnesses
From Murder Trial.
MARCUM ONCE SAVED BY BABY
Second Trial of Judgo James Hargis
Begun in *tfie Mountain Courts
?Mrs. Mamuti's Story?State's i
Witnesses [ntiniidated.
BeattyviTTe, Ky?All the men |
known to 1)9 members of the Hargis
or of I he Mar cum faction were
searched by the Sheriff's officers for
firearms before they were permitted
to enter court. More than a dozen
revolvers were confiscated and several
Ions knives taken from the
Breathitt County visitors. B R.
Joueft made the opening statement
of the prosecution's case in the new
ffiol ruflnro fomoa HTfirS'ifit nnrl Ed
ward Callahan for the murder of
James B Marcum. He announced
that many of the State's witnesses
had remained away because they
feared assassination, and warned the
jurors that the Hargis-Cockrell feud,
which had disgraced Kentucky, j
would continue unless justice were
done.
One incident he promised to prove
was a plot by which it was arranged
that Tom White was to kill Marcum
with a shotgun as he passed the
Hargis store. Marcum passed by
holding his baby in his arms. White,
he said, was upbraided for not shooting
and replied that he did cot want
to kill the baby. Hargis is quoted
as saying: ' You ought to send that
brat to hell with its daddy."
Jouett's statement was dramatic
in the extreme and the picture h
drew so vivid that Mrs. Marcum and
other women in the courtroom cried
Mose Feltner, upon whose testimony
the Commonwealth depends largely
was the first witness. Peltner told
of many alleged plots against the
life of Marcum, all of which were
instigated by Hargis and Callahan
they agreeing to "stand by him.'

partner in the contemplated crime
Mrs. Abrelia Marcum, widow ol
the murdered lawyer, was examined
She told of the various times in
which she saw Curtis Jett. Johu Ab
ner, John Smith, and Tom White
lurking at. places near her homo
after Marcum had been warned by
Feltner that they would be at those
places for the purpose of carrying
out the plots of Hargis and Callahan
to kill him. Mrs. Marcum had
seen Smith, Abner and Jett entei
and leave the house of Alexander
Hargis, where the window in one
room was raised about six inches.
Mr. Patrick, a lawyer of Jackson,
saw Curtis Jett enter the side door
of the Court-house in Jackson and
a few minutes later shots were fired
and Marcum fell dead in front of
the Court-house. It was called to
the attention of the court that
partisans of Hargis and Callahan
were intimidating witnesses for the
prosecution, causing some of them
to leave town. The court announced
that the intimidators would be severely
dealt with.
CLOSE MARSHALL FIELDS.
Building Inspectors Allege That Necessary
Alterations Were Refused.
Chicago.?Marshall Fie'id & Co.'s
big retail store-was closed on orders
from Building Commissioner Bart- |
zeu. Police were stationed at the
entrances to the big State street establishment
and customers wer?
turned away. Persons in the store
were not interfered with. The closing
of the establishment was ordered
by the city authorities on the ground
that the building does not comply
with the city ordinances and that the
firm has persistently refused to make
efforts to observe the law.
Sergeant Dougherty and six policemen
were ordered to the store,
accompanied by deputy building inspectors.
At the store the order had
been anticipated. The doors were
closed as soon as the police arrived,
and it is said that admittance was
denied them. A great fight iu the !
courts is expected.

CHOLERA RAGlNG IN HU
The Epidemic Confined Almost
Entirely to Native Population.
Health Authorities Have Thtia Far
Beeu Unable to Stop Spread
of the Disease.
Washington, D. C. ? Information
received by the Insular Bureau of the
i War Ronfirfmont fvnm TVyTonilo io fr*
j the effect that cholera in a very virulent
form is raging there. During the
week ending July 4 there were 110
| cases and ninety-nine deaths from the
disease. That the health authorities
have thus far been unable to stop
the spread of the disease is indicated
by the further report that during the
twenty-four hours preceding 8
o'clock a. m., were twelve cases and
five deaths reported from the provinces.
During the same period in
Manila there were twenty-nine cases
which came to the knowledge of the
Health Department, twenty-three of
which were fafal.
The situation has assumed a very
grave aspect, and tha authorities
have taken stringent measures to
stamp out the disease as speedily as
possible, but it seems to have gained
a headway which is regarded with
some apprehension. It is said that
the disease is confined almost entirely
to the native population, although
several cases among white
persons have been reported. It is believed,
however, that the army and
the civilian employes of the insular
Government have thus far escaped
from the ravages of the disease. It
has been the practice the Philippine
authorities to cable the names
of employes of the Government in
case of death, and as none have been
reported in this manner it is thought
that there have been no fatalities
among them.
The islands have never been entirely
free from cholera, but up to
the present time the disease has been
practically under control, only an isolated
case having been reported to
the authorities from time to time.
After an absence dating from
March 21 cholera again reappeared
In Manila early in May, when there
were six cases and six deaths. During
May there were also fifteen cases
and twelve deaths from the same disease
in the provinces. Every possible
effort was made to trace the source
of infection, but so far all attempts
have been unsuccessful. The first
case occurred in the person of a beggar,
who was known to have been in
the city for at least several weeks.
As far as could be learned, he ate
only such i'ood as is common to the
nnnrpp r'asses. While it has not been
possible to trace any connection between
the cases, yet they have all occurred
in the district of Tondo, and
all of them in houses that border on
the same estero.

BRITONS LOSE FAMOUS CUP. |
I
Grand Challenge Trophy at Henley
Captured by Belgians.
Henley, England.?The crew representing
tbe Club Nautique deGrand
(Belgium) defeated Trinity Hall,
Cambridge, by three lengths in the
final for the Grand Challenge Cup.
Time, seven minutes nine seconds.
The cup thus leaves England for the
first time in its history, and for the
next twelve months will adorn the
headquarters of the Belgian Rowing
Club.
The ease with which the Belgians
beat the crack British crew was a
rather rough shock to the complacency
of the home oarsmen and to
their belief in the hitherto unshakable
invincibility of their methods of
rowing.
The short, quick stroke and lack
of leg-work of the Belgians have
been criticised by the British experts
since the first appearance of the fori
eign crew.

GifIL SHOULDERS A MUflDER
Confesses to Killing a Youth After
Accusing Two Young Men.
Emma Stephany Tells IIow She Shot
Her Sweetheart James Frizznell
While Celebrating the Fourth.
Pottsville, Pa.?First Implicating
two young men of prominent families
in the murder of James Frizenell,
whose body was found in the
street on July 4, then clearing the
men and taking the blame for the
shooting on her own shoulders, Emma
Stephany, nineteen years old,
daughter of a prominent merchant
of this place, amazed the police by
the stories which she told. Because
of the sudden change in her stories
the police are inclined to believe that
the girl is demented, and that
neither she nor the young men whose
names she told know anything about
Frlzznell's death. Yet both her
stories at first glance appeared to
have the imprint of truth, and the
girl now is under arrest awaiting
the result of an investigation by the
police.
Frizznell's body was found in the
street on the mbrning of the Fourth
of July with a bullet wound in his
breast. Among those whom the
police questioned in regard to the
shooting was Miss Stephany. She
said that she had seen the man slain,
and she mentioned the names of
those who she said did the shooting.
The police visited the young
men mentioned by the girl, but apparently
they were able to prove
a complete alibi, for they were not
arrested.
The police continued their work
on the case, and they were surprised
when the girl walked into
headquarters and said that she wanted
to retract the story she told and
take all the blame for the killing.
She asserted that she shot Frizznellacicdentally
with his own revolver
in celebrating the Fourth. She said
he loaned her the pistol and that she
meant to fire it in the air. She shut
her eyes when she pulled the trigger,
and when she opened them again
Frizznell was lying on the ground
i with a bullet in his breast.

staff and the other officers who, he

Bedovi on account of their affection
for their wounded commander and
their desire to save his life, Vice-Admiral
Roje3tvensky pleaded guilty before
a court-martial.
In a short speech to the court the
Admiral declared that he took all
the blame on his own shoulders and
asked that he alone be punished to
the fullest extent of the law, virtually
an appeal for condemnation and
death, which is the penalty for hauling
down the St. Andrew's Cross to

ADMIRAL RUED I
FOBMALLY ACQUinEB c
Four Other Officers Found Guilty
and Sentenced to Be Shot.
CHARGED WITH COWARDICE
Indictment a Scathing Arraignment
of Men Who Surrendered to Jnp- v
anese ? Sailors Left to Be ^
Drowned?Czar May Interfere. '
Cronstadt, Russia. ? Admiral Ro- j
jestvensky, who was tried on the f
charge of surrendering to the enemy v
after the battle of the Sea of Japan j:
before a court martial here, was ac- i
quitted after the court had deliber- a
xted for nearly ten hours. ^
Four officers of the torpedo boat j
destroyer Bedovi. who were placed J
on trial with the admiral, were found c
guilty of having premeditatively sur- ^
rendered the Bedovi, and all four E
were condemned to daath by shoot- c
ing. On account of extenuating cir- T
cumstances the emperor will be re- t
quested to commute the sentences to r
dismissal from the service.
The full report of the court mar- r
tial shows that Admiral Rojestvensky r
was acquitted on the ground that he 1
was not in his full senses and, there- 1
fore, was' not accountable for what a
transpired at the time of the surrender.
i
Some of the officerswho were tried c
with Rojestvensky were acquitted, j
their guilt not being proved. c
The recommendations for mercy in i c
the cases cf Captain de Colongue, | t
chief of Rojestvensky's staff; Captain I
Baranoff. of the torpedo boat de- f
stroyer Bedovi; Fillipovsky and e
Leontieff, who were found guilty and
sentenced to be shot, were in accord- i
ance with the regulations, and based
on the physical and mental demoralization
produced by the long voyage
and shock of the disaster in battle.
They were also credited with a desire
to save the life of Rojestvensky.
The indictment charged Admiral
Rojestvensky, who commanded the
Russian fleet at the battle of the Sea
of Japan, and the officers of the torpedo
boat destroyer Bedovi with cowardice
in surrendering to the enemy.
The indictment was a crushing arraignment
of the demoralization and
cowardice of the officers, contrasting
their conduct with that of the officers
of the torpedo boat Grozny, which, in
practically the same position as the g
Bedovi, engaged and sank a Japanese
torpedo boat.
The testimony brought out details
of the coldblooded way in which Cap- 1
toj" + V,? Darl/Mri oV>on_ 1
taiu joaiaui/u, \j L UIU ijcuu?i, auaudoned
the "crews of the battleships j

president of the courtvirtually called ?
Baranoff a coward in open meeting. 1
Rojestvensky submitted his case, *
In lieu of pleading by counsel, in the j
following words: "Sirs: Russia's fleet *
has been humiliated; the people have '
confidence in you; I await my pun- \

John Woods, twenty-three years old, j
the son of William Woods, a promin- ^

in the home of his father with the v
top of his head nearly blown off. The j
killing was done by Thomas Boggie, c
also a prominent farmer, who lives (.
just over the Estill County line from
College Hill, it was the direct result ^
of a unique and original effort on the ^
part of Mr. Boggie to bring down r
the thief or thieves who have several j,
lime3 recently stolen from his home
articles of value. j
Boggie, who was going away to
spend the night, fastened his shot- ,
gun immediately in front of the door,
but on the inside of the room. He
tied a stout cord to the trigger, doubling
it back so that if the door was a
opened it would pull the trigger and 1
fire the gun. In the morning he re- i
turned at an early hour and found t
Woods lying dead in front of the i
door. The tragedy has created tre- a
mendous excitement on account of
the prominence of the parties, Mr. t

after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to

Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" Lorn of strength, extreme nervoosnew,
shooting pains through the pelvic organs
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
mairlng an examination, said I had a female
trouble and ulceration and advised an operation.
To this I strongly objected and decided
to-try Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
The ulceration quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and I am
once more strong, vigorous and welL"

the daily work developed by a man
hammering is about 480,000 foot
pounds, while in turning a crank he
develops 1,300,000 foot pounds.
, It consequently follows that turning
a crank with resistance well balanced
with a flywheel is a better way
of utilizing a man'3 strength than
i by direct hammering. Machine drill
makers are now. perfecting hand

Rainfall and Tree Growth.
A report has recently been published
which shows how closely the growth of
trees is dependent upon rainfall. Not
only was this seen in the case of one
and two year old trees, but in an in
vcstigation extending over* a period t>r
twelve years, during which time the
annual rings of growth were carefully,
examined. With an annual preclpita- ,
tion of from thirty to thiry-five inches
a width of ring was produced varying
from .11 to .15 inch. If, on the other
hand, there was either qn unusually
large or small rainfall In any given
year this was followed by a corresponding
tree growth in the following
year.?Harper's Weekly.

since then I have not had any indigestion

from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed
the food for all of my patients suffering
from indigestion or over-feeding
