A MURDER AVENGED.
Pearl Bryan's Slayers Died on the
ScaffO1d.

Scaffold.
Newport, KY, March 23.-The MUIR
der of Pearl Bryan, fourteen months
ago, was avenged today. Scott Jack
son and Alonzo Walling were executed
at 11:45 A. M. from the same scaffold.
There was double trap, but only one
lever, and when Sheriff Plummer pulled
the lever, both dropped the same in
slant. Walling, however; fingered a
moment longer than Jackson. The
neck of neither was broken, and both
struggled hard in the process of strangu-
lation.
The arrangements were complete,
and the performance was SO perfect that
it was without any incident unusual on
such occasions. Both men were nervy
to the last, and on the gallows protest
ed their innocence, and died with their
secrets, so that it may never be known
what was done with the head of Pearl
Bryan, or where she lodged the two
nights previous to her murder, or
what part each took in the decapita-
ton, or whether others were implicat-
ed. There were over 800 men men
within the enclosure to witness the
hanging, and many thousands gathered
around the Jail yard, but the special
deputies and police maintained order.
The execution was quickly dispatched,
as neither man had anything to say on
the gallows, except to declare his inno-
cence, and Rev. A. ]. Lee was brief in
his remarks.

John Graham is the foremost man in
American athletics.
It was he who managed the success
full team from this country that attract
ed worldwide attention in the recent
Olympic games at Athens.
Formerly trainer for Columbia col
lege, then for Princeton and finally for
Harvard university, Mr.. Graham had
much to do with raising the standard
of collegiate sports. A small army OF
gentlemen have been guided by him
since he left Harvard and took his pres
emit position, superintendent of the
famous gymnasium Of the Boston ath-
letic association.
Three of his proteges, White, Brewer
and Mccarthy, have just won the New
England championship at the mile,
quater-mile and five-mile run. He has
trained Weeks of Brown university,
one of the best college sprinters in the
country.
Many another student of what makes
men and women strong has used and
has recommended Paine's celery COM
pound as the best known remedy for
those who are weak and dispirited, the
overworked and enfeebled persons who
are most concerned in the general
awakening of interest in outdoor exer-
else and indoor attention to the proper
rules of health.
It was the ablest professor of medi-
cine and surgery in any college, that
giant among men, Prof. Edward E.
Phelps, M. D LII. D., Of Dartmouth

college, who after years Of patient in
vestigation and study, assisted by all
that was best in the progress OF .medi-
cal science at home and abroad, first
discovered the wonderful formula of
Paine's celery compound.
There was no doubt of the interest
that would be awakened at once by the
announcement of any discovery by Prof.
Phelps. The formula from the first
was furnished to the best physicians,
and forthwith this remarkable Paine's
celery compound was personally used
and professionally prescribed by them.
The result of the closest investigation
might have been expected. 1t soon re-
quired considerable industry to pro-
duce the remedy, and rapidly but
steadily, without ceasing, the demand
for Paine's celery compound has in
creased, until today there is no other
remedy that in comparison begins to
hold half the public attention that it
holds.
In untold number of cases where
every other remedy has been tried and
failed, Paine's celery compound has at
tanned the wished-for results, making
the weak strong, purifying the blood,
rebuilding the wornout nervous tissue,
curing chronic sickness, proving a
never-failing and permanent relief for
rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney diseases
and disorders Of the liver, all due to the
impairment Of the PERSONS nervous
system, the consequent Impeachment
of the blood and the breaking down in

LOCOMOTIVE BOILER BURST.
Kflled Engineer and Fireman, but Pas-
f. aenrers Knew Nothing Of It.

KfIled Engineer and Fireman, but Pas
/ sengers Knew Nothing Of It.
Chicago, March 23.-The boiler OF
the locomotive, which was hauling the
Chicago and Boston special, on the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern road,
blew up this morning, instantly kill
ing the engineer and fireman and COM
pletely demolishing the engine. The
dead are: Alexander Franks engineer.
of Chicago; Edward B. Smith, fireman,
of Chicago.
The engineer was hurled 200 feet
into the air through network OF tele-
graph wires that were stretched along
the tracks and had his right leg torn
off. The fireman was thrown against
cattle car with such force that almost
every bone in his body was broken.
None of the rest of the train crew nor
any of the passengers were injured.
The train to which the engine was
attached is one of the fastest on the
Lake Shore, and leaves Van Buren,
street depot at 1890 in the morning.
The accident occurred about IL O'Clock,
as the train had just pulled out from
Englewood, and was running at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. A peculiar
feature of the explosion was the fact
that although the report was SO loud 1t
was heard by residents half mile
away, and the force SO great that the
engine was literally blown to atoms,
none of the passengers in the rear part
of the train heard the report and were
not aware that anything unusual had
happened until they looked out after
the train had come to a sudden stop.
The train went about $50 feet after the
explosion took place, and, although the
stop was quite sudden, none OF the pas
sengers were thrown from their seats,
and not one of the coaches was dam
aged by the explosion or by the sudden
stop.
The force Of the explosion was ap-
parently upward and outward, as parts
of the engine were thrown into the air
100 feet, and pieces of the boiler were
tossed into swamp, distance of $50
feet, while the baggage car, directly
behind the engine, was not damaged
in any way.
1t is not known just what caused the
explosion, officials of the road saying
that it will not be determined until
what remains of the engine is taken
apart and examined. 1t was thought
at first that there was no water in the
boiler, but this theory was abandoned,
as it was through train, and the en-
CINE had just been taken from the
roundhouse. It was rumored that the
boiler was defective in some respects,
but this was denied by officials Of the
road. The latter say the locomotive
was in good condition in every respect,
had been in service about three years,
and was considered one of the fastest
engines on the road.
rhe train that it was pulling was
known as No. 10, and is through train
from Chicago to Boston.

THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
Arouses the German Press to q Spirit
1922 Of AnimOsity.

of Animosity.
Berlin, March %. - The German
press displays special interest in the
new American tariff. The Cologne
Gazette publishes the full text of the
bill, and all leading newspapers pub
lish extracts from it, and editorials on
the subject. These latter breathe a
spirit-of fierce animosity, and strong
desire for reprisals. The Kleiner
Journal says:
eff this bill becomes law, Europe,
and especially Germany, must feel it
to be an intentional blow in the face.
A large part of our exports is thereby
prohibited, and exports of another
part is rendered extremely difficult.
Many of our industries will be forced
to completely reorganize their system
Of production, raise the quality of their
goods and specialize. This will require
a period of experiment and delay. In
the meanwhile, much of the commerce
and industry will be lost.
Referring to the currency plans of
the United States, the Kleiner Journal
says:
eve deem silver to be a danger to
gold countries, especially to Germany,
even greater than the tariff. The re-
mainder of our commerce in America
will be put on shifting basis, and
great losses are threatened to our fnan
cial investments in the United States.
Our holdings in the Northern Pacific
railway alone amount to 1900, 600
marks, and billions of German capital
will be imperilled."

CREASE AND INCREASE.

An elephant wears more creases to his
trousers than any other animal. They
seem to be sort of kilt pleat with bias
slope. He is not very fashionable, but is
up to date in taking care of himself. Some
sudden, violent pains crease, twist or con-
the nature of bad sprain. IF neglected,
the creases increase, and SO does the pain,
until sometimes it is very difficult to
straighten them out, but by the prompt
use Of st. Jacobs Oil, the friction or rub
bling in its application and the curative
qualities of the oil will smooth out the
worst twist or crease and get the muscle In
natural shape, where it will remain, re-
stored, strengthened, cured. Promptness
in using it irsures prompt cure, and when
the sprain is cured, it is cured for good.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing, Hopkins Company's Review

Downing. Hopkins Company's Review
There was fair trade in speculative
wheat the past week, the market being
subject to frequent but moderate
changes. The feeling manifested was,
on the whole, firm, though at times the
market exhibited rather an easy under
tone, the week closing with about NC
advance. There has been fair buying
of late by certain interests which has
led many traders to believe that the
market is having support from opera
tors who of late have favored the short
side, and no doubt this buying was
something of power this week. Con-
ditions of supply and demand have not
changed since our last review, and Ger
tainly do not warrant lower prices Tor
wheat. Values may drag little lower,
owing to lack of speculative support,
but natural laws cannot be ignored
with impunity any more in business
matters than in physical life. 1t is an
assured certainty that American sup
plies of wheat will be more nearly ex-
lduSG0O D0IOTO ucAt udIfCoe UAoA ~
any time since the late European war.
It is equally certain that the amount OF
wheat on passage will fall below the
lowest previous record. Stocks OF
wheat at home and abroad are being
rapidly depleted. That values should
decline under such conditions is one OF
those inexplicable phenomena that
should invite rather than repel specula-
tive investment.
Thomas Bellas, the most indefatig-
able compiler of figures in Chicago,
having bullish tendency on wheat,
draws attention to the visible supply
now, compared with former years. Mr..
Bellas Gays: "The visible supply Of
wheat in this country has decreased
from the first of the year, or during the
close season, IL, 929, 900 bushels, and
should it continue to decrease only In
the same proportion till the first week
in May land it is almost certain to de-
crease some millions more when spring
shipments begin), it will stand at that
time 29,493, 900 bushels, compared
with 55,45S, 900 bushels last year at
the same time. It will be the small
est stock in the first week of May in
twelve out of fifteen years.

FOREIGN warships at Crete.

Condor, March 2S.-The Athens
correspondent of the Times says
strong gale is blowing across the AEGEAN
sea, which will make the blockade ex-
ceedingly difficult.
1t is reported the admirals purposely
refrained from interfering with vessels
which have recently landed provisions
in Crete, one having discharged car
90 at Akrotiri almost under the eyes of
the admirals.
The necessity of removing the Turk
ish troops from the island becomes
more and more imperative. Absolute
ly nothing else, continues the cores
pondent, will convince the Cretans of
Europe's sincerity. It may be regarded
as certain that they will even prevent
the departure of the Greek army by
force until the Turks have gone. There
is no time to be lost. 1t is impossible
that Greece and Turkey could long sup
port the armies they have modified.
Each will favor provoking struggle
to seeing it's troops starve.
