A Chicago Man Bids Fair TO Live to G

The medical men of Chicago are amazed
by u cnse of almost unprecedented vitality

in Washington Park recently. The ball

medical men could not say just where.
So experiments were made with the
Roentgen rays, and the results have been
most astonishing. A radiograph has been
taken which shows the bullet imbedded
in the heart!

at Great Western mine location and left
the residence of the. NSsses Brooks at

search of her, but could find no trace OF
her. Three large parties started out to
make a systematic search of the woods on
the east side of the river. They had
hardly entered upon their work when they
were met by Miss Brooks, who reported
that a tramp whom she had given supper
to the evening before had returned to her
house shcrtly after dinner and said that
he had found dead girl in the woods and
guided her to the spot where the dead girl
lay, and wEOm she found to be her friend
and guest of the day before, Pearl Morri-
son. The girls face was badly battered
and her throat showed the finger marks
of the r.nr who had strangled her. The

body is being held on suspicion.

The Twenty-ffth United States Infan-
try bicycle corps reached st. Louis, COM
pleting their 2,000-mile ride from Fort
Missoula, Mont, in 40 days, 35 of which
were actually spent on the road The
corps left Fort Missoula, Mont, on June
IA, 23 i'm number. In the party were
Lieut.. Moss, Surgeon Kennedy, Edward
III. Boos, the official reporter, and ~
soldiers, selected from the four companies
stationed at Fort Missoula. During the
trip one of the men was returned to Fort
MissOula, on account of not being able to
keep up. The first twelve days of the trip
were rainy and disagreeabfe, but good
time was made, nevertheless. 1t was
during these days that the main divide
OF the mountains was crossed, as well as
the greater part Of Montana. There were
few pleasant days while the troops were
in Montana. While crossing the Grow In
dian reservation heavy rains prevailed,
and the corps was stuck In the gumbo
mud much of the time. All the way across
Wyoming rain hampered the progress OF
the company, and many hardships arose
from lack of good water. The southwest
ern corner of South Dakota was crossed,
two days being occupied in that State.
The sandy roads were awful, and the
prairie beside the road was field OF
prickly pears, making travel on the wheels
very careful and tiresome work. A
stretch Of good but hilly road was struck
after leaving Edgemont, and the run from
that point to the Nebraska line was made
in short order. The corps passed through
Grand Island, Lincoln and Table Rock,
in Nebraska, and out of that State into
Missouri on July IL ut Rulo. As whole,
the roads through Nebraska are good, but
far from being level, short, steep hills be-
ing continually encountered. The roads
across Missouri were bad and hilly, and
with the exception of few gravel roads
were the worst on the entire trip. Away
from the railroad the country residents
were inhospitable, and no reliable infor-
nation regarding the roads could be gain
ed. The distance covered on the trip was
/ 800 miles, the average run per day be-
ing 81 2-3 miles. After leaving the Ne
braska sand hills the average was over
GO miles per day. The riders stood the
trip remarkably well, but few accidents
of a serious nature having occurred. Ac-
cording to Lieut.. Moss, the trip was a
success from a military point of view.

From the Era, Bradford, Pa.
Too few people are acquainted with
the rapid advance of medical science,
and too many doctors are still plodding
in the old paths. Once it comes to pass
that people know themselves, that all
physicians are abreast OF the worlds
knowledge, much of our suffering will
come to an end. Medical scientists are
not delving into the depths of knowl-
edge for the mere benefit of the world.
They place in the hands of the well
man a means of keeping well. in the
hands OF the sick man a means of re-
covery To the parent they give the
power of saving the child. Science is
working for you-will you accept the
proffered help?
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable
lady who resides at No. 276 East Main
street, has cause to feel grateful to-
wards the science of medicine.
| One day recently, reporter, learn
/ ing that Mrs. Rowend had been greatly
benefited by the use of a new medicine,
interviewed her. She stated that she
had been suffering with female trou-
BILE for many years. She had been doc
tored for the ailment for long time
in fact, nearly all her life-and had
never received anything more than
temporary relief. During the last three
years her condition grew worse and
was aggravated by an affection of the
heart. Her health was so poor that she
found it almost impossible TO perform
her household duties.

licines." said Mrs. Rowend, but one day

q
that Punahou and st. Louis are per-
fectly willing TO go into an inter-col-
legiate league to be made up of teams
from their. institutions and Kameha-
meha. Ii will be remembered that the
last-named institution was the one
from which the proposition came. All
the three colleges are anxious for an
early season, so that the members of
their teams, hailing from places out
of the city, if they play, will not have
to remain over during the summer va
cation. 1t is a good move. and one that
should be taken up by the other clubs.
IL they start in now, it is probable that
there will not be a three-cornered
college league, but one such as there
was last year.
Perhaps it is custom that makes the
teams. other than college, sticklers aft
er a late season. but change would, it
is thought, be an experiment that would
meet with favor by all.
Aside from the practice of the st.
Luois and Kamehameha boys, there
is no activity whatever.

There is not much activity among
the oarsmen just now. The most i'm
