DR.. H. S. Clark.

The sad news was received in this
city Thursday evening of the death of
DR.. H. s. Clark, which occurred at
the hospital of the Soldiers Home at
Dayton, where he had gone for treat
ment several months ago.
DR. Clark was well known citizen
OF Beverly, this county, where he re-
sided and practiced dentistry for many
years. He was one of the leading cit-
izens of that community, having been
selected Mayor seveia al times and hold
ing other public offices. Several years
ago he was stricken with paralysis
and since that time has been almost
helpless. Several months ago his
condition became so serious that ii
was deemed advisable for him to go to
some hospital for treatment and he
was accordingly taken to Dayton,
where his death occurred.
DR.. Clark was sixty-iwo years of
age and leaves wife and two child
rem, Mrs. H. Fred Curti and P. o.
Clark, both of the latter residing in
this city. He was member of the
Presbyterian church and was also a
leader in G. A. r. circles.

Bloodhounds May Err.

An Illinois Judge has decided that
the testimony of pack of blood
hounds is worthless unless corfobated
by other testimony. 1t was case of
burglary, and the dogs were given the
trail at the place where the crime was
committed. Without fault or furry
the beasts led the officers of the law to
house occupied by four men, who
had previously established a reputa-
tion for crooked work.
The burglary was proved. and like
wise the path of the burglars from the
very scene of the theft to certain
abode.
The question Is, which Is the most
trustworthy and reliable. the scent of
bloodhound or the vision of man.
In favor of the bloolhounds it may be
said that they were ignorant OF the
( fact that bad men lived in that house.
They were unprejudiced. They la
bored with no hope Of glory; under no
stimulous of preferred reward. They
were not trying to make a record for
the sake of reelection. The best they
expected was a bone apiece and some
straw for a bed. They had not even
heard or read about the burglary. For
aught they knew they might have
been following the trail Of brace of
deacons to a prayer meeting.
Yet evidence so clearly unprejudiced
and unbiased is thrown out because
the witnesses were not voters and tax
payers of the county and Statewherein
the venue lay. The prisoners should
have been convicted and the blood
hounds should have received their wit
ness fees in juicy tenderloin.
