tai cards sent to the senator's says Mr. Bryan will
insure the passage Of the resolution and It will be an
easy matter to that II the editors of
the daily and weekly will present the matter to
their readers"

direct vote OF the people has been steadily gaining

New York. Nov. IA renewal of heavy

prices of not Il few important stocks are
lower than before for the week. At the
extreme declines which were made early
in the final hour, losses of from to IA
were shown by the stocks which bore the
brunt of the bear attack. The fierceness
and suGdenness of the raid came as sur
prise. owing to the character of the sup
port given to the market at the opening
decline and the eagerness shown by the
bears. who sold short. yesterday. to cover
and take their profits. The wiping out
of margin and the uncovering of stop
loss orders dslodged a great mass of Sc

About Fatal Cases and Why Care
Should be Taken.

1t is public duty to inform the peo-
pie that the majority of fatal pneumo-
MIA cases are caused by the patient
taking for cold some so-called cough
cure" or ''balsam" which depends upon
poisonous drugs for it's effect.
These drugs deaden the nerves and
stop secretion along the breathing
tract, which is always followed by con-
gestion and infiamma ton that causes
pneumonia.
Without these injurious drugs.
Father Johns Medicine cures colds,
long standing coughs and all throat
and lung troubles. 1t is not a patent
medicine or cough syrup" but body
builder and tonic. it cures colds by
soothing and healing the throat. and
nourishes the system at the same time.
Its gentle laxative effect strengthens
the stomach and corrects the digestion.
SO that each organ of the body is able
TO properly perform its work-that is
how the poisonous waste matter and
impurities are driven out of the syS-
TEN. Its food elements make strength
and restore TO sound health those who
are weak and run down.

lust what this description is the police
have firmly refused to divulge. 1t is not
believed by them that the negro who was
arres, ed in New York. Wednesday night.
will prove to be the man they want. They
practically admitted. Thursday, that the
description of the New York suspect does
tney are now looking. 1t seemed prob
able, however, that a detective might be
sent to New York TO take look at the
man.
nenry Merchant of Newton. told the
police Thursday that ne was offered a
ladt watch and chain by a malatto in
Bowdoin square. this city, for 81. The
muiatto. he thought, resembles the de-
srrlption Of George Perry. Merchant said
this offer was made to him about the
middle OF October. He did not accept. Is
il was Perry who offered Merchant tne
watcn it could have been neither the Nc
Phee nor the Morton watch, because Miss
McPhee was killed, Oct 3, and the watch
was sold To Joseph Nemser Oct. 4. ac-
cording 10 the jeweler. Miss Morton was
not murdered until Nov. /.
Mr. Herman paid visit to the county
jail at East Cambridge, Thurcday after
noon, and had long conference with his
client. The lawyer refused to discuss the
case any further than to say that the
defence Of the boy has not been outlined.
lie intimated, however, that it is not
his purpose to make much of a fight in
the lower court, but TO wait until the
matter comes up in the superior crimi-
nal court.
Perry. Thursday, admitted that he gave
MSS McPhee's watch chain to the young
woman from whom ii was recovered.
Wednesday. He claims. however that the
chain was given her, Oct. 4. while ii is
understood to be the intention of the
government to show by competent wit
nesses, chief among them being the
young woman who received the chain,
that it was handed over to her by Perry
at midnight. Oct. 3. only a few hours
after Miss McPhee was assaulted.
so sudden Il turn has this mysterious
case again assumed that the attention OF
the police may now be said to be TO-
cused entirely upon the McPhee affair.
There is strong feeling that the young
watch chain has confessed to variety
of things which will undoubtedly result
in the lodging of a second murder charge
against the negro. Another cause of the
of the police endeavor upon
the McPhee case is the difficulty the Off
GERS are finding in proving that Perry
was in Waverley the night Miss Morton
was murdered. while they have a witness
in the person of Mrs. Haskell who caught
a glimpse of the aSsailant of the Somer-
vile women just as he was finishing his
attack She claims the man wore Il
checked cap such as Perry is known to
possess.
The Somerville police admitted. Thurs
day night. that a warrant has been is
sued for another man on suspicion of
having some knowledge and some crimi-
nal connection with the murder of Miss
Agnes McPhee.
