The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass of, and it is only
when a case of full-dedged sickness de-
veIops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for

DRANK WHISKEY AND DIED.
-Four Pints of the Ardent Proved
Too Much for Miser Haunt,

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 23.-In an old rickety
lodging house at l3l West Randolph street,
Herman Haupt, German, with fortune
of S35, 900 in his own name, died last night.
Yesterday afternoon Haupt drank four
pints of whiskey. 1t proved too much for
his constitution, and death claimed him a
victim. Haupt had no idea of the value of
money.
He came from Teirstenthom, Germany,
nine years ago, his father having died,
leaving two sons $4,000. Haupt's brother
is prosperous clothing merchant in
Rochester, N. Y. Herman, however. fell
in with hard drinkers, lost his portion
and neglected everything. Remittances
came from his family regularly and often.
Although he did little work and continued
the liquor habit the depraved man lived
and dressed most penuriously, and became
a confirmed miser. In the shape of bank
books and certificates Haupt left proof of
his wealth, aud his $50, 900 will go to his
brothers, as he had neither wife nor chill
drpn.

GRAVES CASE OPENED.
Col. BaIIou the First important
Witness.
THAT GUARDIANSHIP LETTER.
It was Sent to Ballou from the Adiron-
dacks but He did not Think IL suffi-
ciently Important to Answer It--Tes-
timony that Was Not Allowed.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l


DENVER, Col, Dec. 23.-The defense in
the Graves case was opened this morning,
Edward Field, the second clerk in the
municipal court of Providence being
placed on the stand. He testified that DIR.
Graves had handed him Mrs. Barnaby's
will in sealed envelope.
Col. Ballou, the second witness, swore
that he had known DR.. Graves for thirty
five years. He said Mrs. Barnaby had
employed him to contest her husband s
win. He denied that he had ever threat
ened to revive old scandals If there was
not a settlement. He said that Lawyer
Tillinghast had by inference suggested the
scandals with big fee something like ten
thousand i'm settlement OF the case. he
admitted the receipt of the letters which
Mrs. Barnaby said DIR. Graves wrote TO
her IL was sent TO the witness by Ben
nett. The witness did receive letter
from Bennett enclosing the Graves letter
and threatening to place Mrs. BarnaDy
under guardianship protection lt was
not asked for but the information was
turned over to Graves Denver lawyers. Q
The witness said he drew Mrs: Bar
naby's will. She SAID she would like TO
explain i'm the will why she did not leave
her daughter anything. This line OF tes-
timony, however, the court ruled out.
Col. Ballou admitted that he told DR..
Graves he was talking too much TO re-
porters. The defence wanted TO show
that Graves said he hadn't talked at all.
The court said, however, that IL would not
allow evidence to be manufactured in
court that way.
He told Mrs. Barnaby in December last
as a reason why he did not answer her
letter sent from the Adirondacks, that he
did not think IL amounted TO anything.
A long cross-examination of the witness
followed without any material results.
