CANTON Man
TAKES POISON
Leonard Pearce Drinks Quantity Of
Chloroform on Street in MassilIon
Tuesday Evening.
CAUSED BY DRINK and DESPONDENCY

Leonard Pearce, aged 25 years, a
married man, of Canton, drank q
quantity of chloroform in Massillon
Tuesday evening about s o'clock. He
will recover, and is now at the city
Jail in Massillon being cared for.
Patrolman Getz saw the young man
in the vicinity of Mayor Bells home
displaying the bottle OF poison, and
threatening to take the stuff. Mayor
Bell was telephoned to in regard to the
matter, and sent an officer, who found
the man lying on the ground on Sum
NIT street. The officer at once sum
moned Mayor Bell, who came atoncs
bringing with him DR.. d. w. Cans.
Higerd's ambulance was called, and
the young man, now unconscious, was
taken to the Jail. A stomach pump
was used by the physician, and by
giving the man careful attention dur
ing the night his recovery from the
effects of the poison was made certain.
The cause of the attempt at suicide
is domestic troubles, it is claimed.
Pearce was in Akron Tuesday in
search of work, but was unable to
find employment. He went to Massil-
lon in the afternoon, and after drink
ing a quantity of liquor, purchased
thirty cents worth of chloroform
which he drank.
His brother, Fred Pearce is in Mas
sillon assisting in caring for him, and
will bring him to Canton as soon as
the sick mans condition will permit.

WHY DISEASES BECOME cHRONIC|
Nerve Force Regarded by Seientists~
More Important than the Blood.
A s. 90 TREATMENT FREE.

The blood was formerly regarded as
the ife-giving principle and to its con-
dition was attributed all that there
was of health or illness. Now, physi-
ologists know that nerve force and VI
tality are the same. and that the con-
stitution, good or bad, depends upon
nerve force.
Nerve force controls all motion, SEN
sation. digestion and nutrition An
abundance of this subtle energy means
health and yigor; a lack of lit causes
general debility, nervous prostration,
premature decline, disease and death.
Nerve force is chiefly generated in
the brain, and therefore in the treat
ment of all lingering diseases the con-
dition of the brain centers should be
carefully considered and treated. One
great cause of diseases becoming chrons
ic is that physicians overlook the fact
that deficiency of nerve force is the
chief cause of most diseases. Nervous
prostration is due to lack Of nerve
force.

CHEERS. FOR

News Of His AcquitaI is HiIariously
Received by the People Of
New York City.
old GENERAL GREATLY HONORED.

New York, Nov. IL. Roland B.
Molineux was set at liberty Tuesday
after spending nearly four years In
prison and being once condemned to
death and twice placed on trial for
his life for the murder of Mrs. Kath-
erinc ]. Adams.
But thirteen minutes sufliced for
the jury to reach verdict of ac-
Guittal at the close of the trial that
has lasted four weeks, the first trial
which resulted in Molineux's convic.
tion and sentence having been pro-
-lOnged for about three months.
The verdict, which was confidently
anticipated, was greeted with an in
stantly suppressed outburst of ap-
plause. Justice Lambert having de-
liyered stern admonition that no
demonstration would be permitted
MoIineux who was brought into
court as soon as It was known that
the jury had agreed, was apparently
ne mconcerned as he has been
throughout the trial and gave no evil
dence of emotion when the words that
established his innocence were pro-
nounced. His aged father Gen. Molln-
eux, was deeply affected and could
with difficulty respond to the greet
ings of friends who pressed forward
tc offer the congratulations.
Immediately after the rendering OF
the verdict the prisoner was formally
discharged from custody and left the
court room with his father and coun-
sci. On passing out of the building
the three were cheered by a great
crowd that gathered In anticipation OF
the acQuittal.
From the criminal court building,
Molineux went to the city prison. In
making his way to his old cell. and
thence to the front entrance, he trav-
ersed considerable portion of the
old and the new prison, and every
where he went the news of his ac-
quittol went too, and the prisoners
cheered him. He even went through
the women's department, where there
were many who cheered him. Molin.
eux, accompanied by Gen. Molineux
and two OF his attorneys entered a
carriage and were driven away.
About 1900 persons, cheering and
shouting, surrounded the carriage and
greatly delayed its departure. The
keepers of the Tombs prison came out
aId shook hands with Molineux and
many people waved handkerchiers
from the windows in the street.
After removing his effects from tn"
Tcmbs, Mclineux went to his father,
home in Brooklyn where he was again
cheered by q large crowd.
Gen Molineux when asked for an
expression of opinion on the verdict
wrote and signed for all his reporter
friends, the following:
1.-THE struggle is DER, the battle done.
"And might has lost, but right has
won."

HERE'S A MYSTERY.

Akron, O., Nov. 12.-There is a mys-

robbed and that worry over his loss
caused him to take his life.
