The reason that Curtis Independence
Grow, formerly of Ogden, has not
crossed the Styx is because Drs. A. H.
Taylor and W. F. Beer were summoned
| in time to sew up a large, ragged cash
in his neck, which he inflicted yester-
day morning with the dull edge of
Well-Worn jack-knife.
/ Grows motive for doing this rash
work is found in the fact that his
marital affiliations are by no means
pleasant. He has lived with a woman
in ogden for some time, without going
through the marriage ceremony, and it
is said has two children, the result OF
this alliance. Recently, however he
decided that that sort of thing was not
right, and after winning the consent
of Salt Lake girl, he married her
two months ago, and began house
Keeping at 437 South Eighth East
street For some cause unknown to
the neighbors or the physicians, the
lady quit him, whereat, it is said,
Grow threatened to end his career
and grinding razor, called on his
neighboring friends to come into the
garden, Maud, or rather into the out
mouse, and watch him cut his throat.
The neighbors declined to witness the
CORY deed, whereat he postponed it.
but yesterday morning at 1870 he
concluded that it was a good time to
bid farewell to all the associations of
this existence. He sawed away at his
throat until he had severed the trach-
cal tube and then laid down to die.
Neighbors who witnessed the act as
sisted him all they could by laying
him in position where ne would
bleed freely, and then rushed for ply
sicians
When the surgeons arrived. they
found Grow weak from loss of blood
but few stitches delicately applied
checked everything, so that when he
was turned over to Dr. Wright. the
county physician, who took him to
st Marks, he was in fairly good con-
dition.
Grow is 43 years of age and has two
sisters and nephew in Ogden, who
have been notified of his act.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREAT
MENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER EVERY
THING ELSE FAILED.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebod-
ings are ten times worse than the most
severe pain. There is no let up to the
mental sufferings day or night. Sleep
is almost impossible and under such a
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea
ton whether he had not better take a
dose of poison and thus end all his trou-
bles. But providential inspiration came
TO his aid in the shape of a combination
OF medicines that not only compile tely
restored the general health, but enlarged
his weak, emaciated part5 TO natural
size and v;gor, and he now declares that
CIV man who will take the trouble to
send his name and address may have the
method of this wonderful treatment free.
Now when | say free l mean absolutely

rience.
I am not a philanthrooist. nor do
pose as an enthusiast, but there are
thousands of men suffering the mental
tortures of weakened manhood who
would be cured at once could they but
get such remedy as the one that cured
me. Do not try to study out how l can
afford to pay the few postage stamps

few things on earth that although they
cost nothing to get they are worth a

Was the Only Course.

Cincinnati, Dec. S.-Colonel Nelson,
who prosecuted Jackson, says there
could be no other course taken. Il am
sorry for him as man, but am glad
that an awful criminal pays a just
penalty"
Colonel Crawford, who defended
Jackson, insists that there is still hope
for Jackson, and he will make an appeal
to Governor Bradley for at least a
delay in passing the sentence.
Governor Bradley said: Il will give
the non-concurring opinion of the court
OF appeals a careful study, and if any
evidence can be produced by Jackson's
attorney that gives Jackson right for
a retrial, he will get it. But L feel sure
he must pay the penalty
A special from Greencastle, Ind,
says: THE decision was received here
with great satisfaction. Members Of
the Bryan family express the belief
that justice will be reached by Jack
sons execution. Mrs. Jackson, mother
of the doomed man, is not here. She is
either in Covington or Cincinnati. Dr.
Edwin Post, Jackson's brother-inlaw
was notified of the decision by a re-
porter of United Associated Presses.
He refused to talk.

X RAYS FOR BLINDNESS.
Aided Surgical Skill In an Operation
That May Prove Successful.

New York, Dec. S.-Thanks to the
searching power of Thomas A. Ed
sons X rays, the surgical skill of Drs.
A. V. Wendell and w. o. Bailey, eight
year old Mary Schoeliner, who for two
months has been totally blind. has
had her sight restored. She can al
ready distinguish between light and
dark, Notwithstanding that her eyes
are bandaged tightly, as they will re-
main for some weeks TO come
Little Mary is the daughter of F. o.
Schoeliner. When the accident which
resulted in her blindness happened, she
was five years of age. She was play
ing on the porch of her home when she
accidentally toppled over the railing
ing on a sharp stump of tree.
The doctors decided to give the X
ray a test 10 locate the seat of the
trouble and Nov. % little Mary was
taken to the Edison laboratory in West
Orange There Mr.. Edison and his as
sstants manipulated the X rays. The
rays were applied from the side of the
head and the doctors, by the use of the
Horoscope. could plainly see where a
portion of the skull was pressing on
the grain, and could also distinguish
a dark shadow between the convolu-
tions of the brain, which he decided
was a blood clot.
When the seat of the trouble was
located, il was decided to perform an
operation. The child was taken to a
private sanitarium. and one week ago
yesterday Drs. Wendell and Bailey
performed the operation in the pres
ence ot several other doctors. After
removing the top of the skull they
found the bone pressed on the anterior
portion of the commissure of the optic
nerve and because of the pressure at
this point blindness of both eyes en-
sued. The clot was removed. The
child has not suffered any pain since
and was removed TO her home yester-
day.
DR.. Bailey said he could see no reason
why Mary's eyesight should not be
fully restored. unless the nerve has
become atrophiel. 1t win be several
weeks before this can be learned. and
meanwhile the child's eyes will be
kept closely bandaged.
