Jury su.ttfles a Patrictde.

Anderson, Ind, June 21-Ted, the 10
year-old son of John Podmore, shot
and instantly killed his faith
er Thursday morning. He fired four
times at him, the last ball taking ef-
feet. Mrs. Podmore brought suit for
divorce some time ago, and the hus-
band pleaded with her Wednesday
nioht to have her dismiss it. She re-
fused. He then asked the. son if he
was going to testify against him, and
the son answered that he would stand
by his mother. AT 6 o'clock yesterday
morning the boy was reused by the
father pounding on his door with a
seven-pound piece OF glass. The faith
er flung it at him, knocking him off
the bed. The father then flung a
Ratchet at him. The boy then seized
a revolver and fired the fatal bullets.

self-defense and released him from
jail The father had been employed in

GREAT IRISH CONVENTION.
AibernIans Will Meet I'm City of Boston
on May 8 and 10.

Boston, Mass, April 21.-The forth
coming national convention of the A.
o. ii. in this city promises to eclipse
any ever held, for everything that an
outlay of money can furnish has been
arranged for to make it a grand sue
cess. 1t is anticipated that there will
be about 10000 uniformed men in Inc
big parade, many of whom are coming
from the west and Canada. The ar
engagements in detail have been perfect
ed for entertaining this vast number,
as well as the thousands of New En-
gland members and their wives and
relatives who will make Boston their
Mecca on May 0 to II.
| Tho the Massachusetts law prohibit.
| ing the carrying of arms will keep
away some of the crack Hibernian regi-
snents, it is expected that there will be
about 100000 men, in line on May 9, the
| day of the national parade. In my
case it will be the largest gathering of
purely Irish Catholics ever witnessed in
this or in any other state.
| All of the New England and central
states and some of the western states,
as well as the British provinces, will
send large numbers of paraders, and
they will be accompanied by their fam
lilies. Among the delegates there will
be some of the greatest orators, both
clergy and laity, in America, including
among others, Bishops Foley, of De-
troit, and AlcFaul, of Trenton.
Tho the order is composed of none
but Catholics of Irish blood, at the out
break of the Spanish war it was the
first national body to pledge it's sup
port to the American government
against Catholic Spain. It was also
among the first to offer its aid to the
Beers and the families of fallen heroes
of the South African republics.

Rain 1Ielps winner Hyheat.

Lincoln, Neb., April 19.-The long
continued dry weather, an unusual
condition for the spring season in Ne
braska, but which this year has been
almost equivalent to drought, has
been broken by heavy rains. Reports
to the Nebraska section of the weather
bureau and to railroad headquarters
show an average precipitation for the
entire state exceeding three inches.
Winter wheat, already in good con-
dition, is now reasonably certain of a
heavy crop. Grain men also predict a
full crop Of oats and small grain gen
orally.

story ofa slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: ''My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy Tor fe-

cine is godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed

Impure Blood Invites Disease
SELL CHILDREN FOR FOOD.
Terrible Condition Among Starving
millions of India

Boston, Mass, April 17.-Rockwell
Clancy, a missionary at Allahabad,
India, who is visiting his brother in
Medford, says: ''1.le condition of
famine-stricken India today is some
thing perfectly awful to contemplate.
/ cannot tell anything about the
number of dying, but when / left
Bombay last February there were
some 100000 suffering and over 3,000,-
We're in dire distress, and of these s.
100000 were receiving government aid.
| 1t is not the cities, but the country
places which are stricken, and when
| you know that it is mostly among the
agricultural classes and that so per
cent of the population of India is made
up of tillers of the soil, you may be
able to grasp in some slight manner
| the extent of suffering at the present
time
when the famine set in the peo-
pie began to sell everything they had
that they might get a little grain for
food. They took the doors from their
houses and sold them, sold their tur-
niture and farming utensils, and then
when they had no longer anything to
sell they sold their children. Boys
don't sell well and the traffic is largely
in girls. I sa wgirls in one town just
before l came away being sold for 30
cents apiece. They are brought up by
Mohammedans. But they won't buy
bows. So when the parents can no lon
ger support their children, they aban-
don them and henceforth they must
get on as best they can. These cast
offs congregate about the doors of
grain merchants shops and the only
way proprietors can get rid of them
lis to throw out a handful of grain,
lscattering it wide. The children pick
and pick all day and at night perhaps
are rewarded by having collected q
Il single handful"

August: is to have a decided novelty
in the racing line. Labor day. 1t Will
be a match for speed between the au-
tomobies owned by COL +. w. Soule
of this city. ana that owned by q. w.
Hussey of Waterville. These two gen
tlemen are the only persons in this sec
ton Of the State fortunate enough 70
own automobiles and when Mr.. Hussey
appeared on the race track, a short
time ago. and speeded his auto up the
track there was much speculation as to
whether his or that owned by Col.
Soule is the faster. At any rate. the
two will try it out, Labor day. on the
Augusta Driving track. Mr.. Hussey's
carriage has the disadvantage Of hav-
ing a top. but this without doubt Will
be taken down that his carriage may
b. on a footing with that owned by
COL. Soule Both gentlemen have run
their machines so long that they haV"
them under perfect control and some
pretty sparring to take the pole may
be looked for, as the pole will give
great deal of advantage. Col Soule
has been engineering his automobile 50
long between this city and his cottage
at the lake that he understands how
to get the most work out Of II. Mr..
Hussey's has long since ceased To
scare horses in the vicinity of Clinton,
Fairfield and WaterVille, and is as re
sDonsive to his touch as was the fast
trotter he owned a few years ago.
