DEATH IN MILK.
Stamford, CT, Mi|kman is
Charged With MansIaughter,
In Using Water from Well Infected
With Typhoid Fever Germs.
Four Hundred Cases and Fl Deaths in Epi.
demic Traced to Him.

Stamford, Ct, June 4.-The typhoid
fever scare of month or more since has
taken on sensational phase in the arrest
this evening, of Henry J. Blackham. a
milkman. A great deal of feeling has
been expressed against Blackham since
the local and state boards of health an
nounced that they had traced the origin Of
the epidemic to his dairy, where his milk
cans were washed in water drawn from
an infected we'll. A minister suggested
that Blackham should be tarred and
feathered and ridden out Of town Old a
rail.
The warrant served on Blackham
charges manslaughter in causing the death
of John r. King, victim of the fever
epidemic. The complaint is that Black
ham recklessly used water from well
containing germs of typhoid fever to wash
his cans, and that he sold milk In which
poisonous substances were contained in
solution.
Blackham is in Jail and will doubtless
remain there. since it will be extremely
difficult for him to secure bondsman In
or about Stamford. He takes his arrest
coolly. During the epidemic there were
400 cases of fever, and 81 persons died.

side of the Lebanon arson case was rested,
this afternoon, with the examination of
several witnesses, chief among them be-
ing James Nelson and members of the
family of Eugene Gowell superintendent
of the town farm. The testimony related
chiefly to the conflicting stories told by DR..
William W. Weber, the respondent.
Counsel for the defence in the opening
arguments, admitted that the respondent
told untrnths concerning his suspicious
ana the evidence he had collected after the
fire. but claimed that he did SO simply TO
mislead the detectives and town authori-
ties, SO that he could more easily follow
up his suspicious, in the hope of securing
the reward which the town offered for the
arrest of the guilty parties.
1t was further claimed that, though the
government claims the farm buildings
were locked when Gowell and the neigh
bors left, Sunday afternoon, there were
parties in the house as late as 7o'clock
The defending attorney said that the
respondents time, that night. will be salts
factorily accounted for; that thus far the
prosecution has failed to put in any evil
dence to connect him with the fire, except
such as relates to his own statements,
which he purposely varied so as to throw

Nervousness

Is only anOtEef name 1Of impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking preparation which only
quiets your nerves! 1t is like trying TO
"drown" your sorrows in the flowing
bowl. They are sure to return.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by
pEApENING or QUIETING your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. If you take such articles
YOU are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be REAC-
TON which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,
follow the Decline to the state OF
health, purify your blood and cure
your Nervousness by taking
