STRANGE
Hangs Over
His Death.
Friends Do Not Believe Dr..
Parker Suicided.

New York, July 1s.-Friends Of DR..
Edward L. Parker, of the Long Island
state hospital, whose body was found
in the surf off Leagato Fam, cannot
understand his death.
Twelve hours before his body was
found he said good night to friends OF
Brighton Beach and started by boat
for New York. Whether he fell over
board or committed suicide is ques-
ton no one can answer. DIR. r. NJ. FL
lott, superintendent of the hospital
scouts the suicide idea.
"He was splendid, genial, stalwart
young man with everything to live
for" he said today. ANY suggestion
of suicide can be eliminated from the
case at once
DR.. Parker was q years old and
graduated from the medical school at
Syracuse university, in 1907 He left
the hospital July 5, for his vacation
and spent most Of the period of rest
with his parents, who are wealthy
residents of Geneva, N. Y. He ar
rived in New York Tuesday morning
and spent the day at Brighton Beach
where he was last seen alive.

WRONG COUPLE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wibsrs Not the
Persons Waited.

Through an error in story published
in the Democrat, June 80, a wrong i'm.
preston was given of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Wiberg, of Barberton. 1t was
stated that they had been arrested at
the exit Of the Goodrich Rubber plant
by a New York detective, after they
had completed q days work. The story
was wrong, so far as Mr. and Mrs. Wi.
berg were concerned. They were not
arrested, at all. There was a co-inci-
dent in the case, which caused the
blunder. A New York detective came
here to find an eloping couple,and went
there to investigate. 1t so happened
that Mr.. and Mrs. Wiberg had just
started to work at the plant, and nat
urally the detective wanted to have
a look at them. However, at glance
he saw they were not the persons
wanted, and said nothing to them.

GOOD LUCK
Saved a Wealthy
Farmer
When Three. Gard Men Nearly
Fleeced Him.

Mattoon, ILL.,, July 1s.--Although
worth 100000 in farming land and
bank stock, Ernest Homann, farmer.
allowed himself to be inveigled into
three-card monte game on a public
highway with two confidence men.
Blind luck alone saved him from losing
$4,000.
One Of the men, representing himself
to be Isaiah H. Johnston, the veteran
Charleston banker, drove to Homann's
place and asked the latter to accom-
pany him to the farm Of Newton
Ames, several miles away, which, he
said, he desired to purchase for
client. Homann accompanied him. Ames
was not at home, and as Homann and
the pseudo banker were returning they
met a second stranger. Homann was
enticed into card game and was al
lowed to win $1,000, but before being
paid he was told to produce that
amount in cash as an evidence that he
could have paid had he lost. The men
accompanied him to the city.
Near the bank the trio encountered
Ames, and when Card Shark No. /
evinced hesitancy about meeting
Ames. Homann grew suspicious. While
he was. making inquiries the bunco
men decamped. The police are look
ing for them. Several thousand dol
lars in bogus coin was confiscated.

A Peculiar Matrimonial
.e o- Mixup.
Wife No. S Has Just Become Wife
No. 7.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 1S.-Jas. 8. Shep'
ard. broker and society man, has we'd,
ded the seventh time and the bride this
time is the same who blushed on the
occasion of his fifth essay at the mar
ital altar. Last night, after having
been duly welded by "a Protestant
Episcopal clergyman, the couple were
again happy in the home they once
before occupied as husband and wife
at No. 5129 Washington boulevard.
This is the epitome Of the veteran
bridegroom's matrimonial career:
Wife No. 1, dead; one child living.
2, Wife No. 2, living and remarked;
Mrs. Rosa Hale, sof Brookneld, Mo-;
three children.
WIFE No. 8, living; restored to her
maiden name of Margaret Foninis;
Denver. ~4s
Wife No. A, living; Mrs. Hattie Shep-
ard; one child; Colorado Springs, Colo.
Wife No. 5, living, whom he married
last night; was Miss Orina Blake; no
children resided in Kansas City.
Wife No. 6, living; was formerly
Mrs. Clara Harrington, Of Cincinnati;
maiden name Mere; now in New York
City.
Wife No. I, was wife No. 5.
Shepard's penchant for matrimonial
honors first attracted public attention
last December when he married Wife
No. 5. Previous to that he lived in
the swellest section of Delmar boule
yard, and his troubles with No. 5, now
again his beloved bride, became so
much public gossip that there was a
quarrel. some say fist fight, separa
tion and removal of the Shepard head
quarters to aristocratic Washington
boulevard.
With all his wives Shepard has in
sisted upon being called .sPapa,' and

him. "a, ~ e WI M 4

and came here from Walnut Hills,
in Cincinnati. Here Mrs. Harrington
while admitting to have been gov
einess in Cincinnati family, alleged
that she was originally Miss Mere
of Harlem, n. Y. However that may
be, in due course Of time and law she
became Petty No. 6; in fact, in 10
minutes after Papa became free
from his fifth "Petty." Three days
afterward, during Christmastide, there
were sound of blows, woman's shrieks.
and, in February, in divorce petition,
No. alleged that she was terribly
beaten by Papa q
A reconciliation was closely follow

No doubt he is less bigoted pro.ec-

they may be actuated largely by de-

But there is reason to believe they
are actuated in much greater de-

itary style Of laying his commands on
the legislative branch OF the govern
ment and his threats Of punishment in
case Of disobedience Of orders.
Mr.. Roosevelt has developed the
qualities Of a military dictator rather
than those Of a political leader under
a republican government, and pretty
strong expression of resentment is no
more than natural. and is likely to pro.

Dorothy turned away sick at heart
She remembered something about a
flaw in the title; that there was an
unrecorded gap in the transfers OF the
farm dating back TO its purchase by
some former owner many years before
1t had been represented that the deed
had been lost in the registrars Office,
and her father had SO far departed
from his cautions custom as to accept
the faulty title.
And now, out OF this trivial conten-
ton over bit Of land barely wide
enough to carry the boundary fence
was to grow monstrous injustice
which was to turn them out of house

thick at the thought, but she was a
