A Recent Prophecy.

In a book recently published entitled Predicted Wonders of Prophecy" whose author, is in the mist of oblivion. is a peculiar and startling prediction to the effect that on Thursday, May 2, 1929, the world will end.
 It contains proof sufficient, 1t Is said. to convince the author and reader who is not wlfully skeptical that the end of the world may be expected on this date, but we will not undertake to outline the theory.
 In other predictions of the book the author has depicted exact circumstances. and incidents as they really have occurred since Its publicatio9.
 The book says that the combination against Germany and Russia will con- sist of France. Great Britain, Spain Italy. Austria, Greece, Egypt, Syria. Turkey and the Balkan States, and the alliance will be entered into fifteen years hence.
 The writer does not attempt to attack or coincide with the authors prophecy concerning the end of the world At any rate, 1t makes one think of the future,

MISS DUNLAP ACQUITTED.
Jury at AledO. Ill, Finds Young
Woman Not Guilty of Murder
of Allie DOOI.

Aledo, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-Antoinette Dun
lap was Saturday acquitted of the
charge of poisoning her chum, Allie
Dool, by means of chocolates contain
ing strychnine. The jurors worked
over the testimony all of the night.
On the first ballot they stood nine for
acquittal and three for conviction.
When the next ballot was taken there
were four for conviction, and then the
sentiment turned in her favor, and on
the seventh ballot all were in favor of
acquittal. Lack of motive was the
strong point in bringing over the three
men who at first voted for verdict of
guilty.
The case is one of the most interest
ing in the criminal annals of Illinois.
On the night of August Miss Dunlap
purchased some chocolates and shared
them with Allie Dool, her closest
friend. Miss Dool was Immediately
taken i'll and died shortly afterward in
great agony. In her dying statements
she practically accused Miss Dunlap of
poisoning her. At the preliminary
hearing Miss Dunlap was dismissed,
but subsequently the grand jury in
dicted her and she remained in Jail
three months pending the trial which
has Just concluded and which occupied
five weeks.

BIG BEAST KILLED.
Famous Elephant "TOpsy" Electro
cuted at Coney Island-Exe-
cution Described.

New York, Jan. 5.-Several hun
dred spectators on Sunday witnessed
the execution by electricity at Coney

had killed three men and had recent
ly become unmanageable. Immedi-

the current was turned off, was pro-
nounced to be dead. An autopsy
showed that the poison had not had
time to take effect. The execution
was conducted under the supervision
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. "Topsy" was
about 35 years old, and was the first
baby elephant exhibited in this cour-
try. when she was brought here by
Adam Forepaugh, % years ago.
