In divine healing it is not every
body that can be a healer. To be a
healer takes certain powers. Now, |
can sometimes feel the power leaving
my hands, and again coming back.
Whenever lay my hands on a person
can always tell whether he is going
to be cured or not"
Divine healing can restore people
from the dead. There is well au-
thenticated instance of a man being
raised from the dead in Germany
some 200 years ago. I do not know
any cases Of where divine healing has
ever restored missing leg or arm.
But this was not because divine heal
ing could not do it, bless you no.
Puts On New Leg.
Il think in a case of man who
wanted to have his leg restored by di-
vine healing" continued the bishop
of the church of Spokane, "the thing
could not be done. because faith would

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf.
ness is the result, and unless the in.
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in

MURDERER Is
TRIED At LAST
Man Who Committed Crime In Chica
go Seventeen Years Ago
Brought to Trial.

Chicago, H., Oct. 2S.-Justice, that
has been waiting seventeen years to
avenge a murder, played its long-de-
layed part in the tragedy today, when
John Healy was placed on trial before
Judge Clifford for the murder of Fer
dinand Pormeranz. In the interval of
time between the crime and the trial
of the offender the case Is the most
remarkable in the criminal court re-
cords Of Chicago
Healy was run to earth after he had
been a fugitive for seventeen years.
During this time he journeyed all
over the world and experienced all
sorts of adventures in his efforts to
avoid arrest
A rough rider under Roosevelt, a
soldier in the United States army, an
inmate Of jails, civil and military. and
an accused man in a dozen cities
throughout the country. Healy has
run the gauntlet of a hundred perils
that ended at last in his capture in a
Chicago police station three weeks

ders. Confronted at last by the man
who had relentlessly and increasingly
sought for him. he was brought to bay
in the city from which he fed one
night nearly a score of years ago.
Since the day when he killed Por-
meranz in the yard of the latter's
home on the North side and took to
flight the persons who witnessed the
murder have grown gray-haired. Hea-
~ himself has grown from a STRIPPING
of II to a man of 81. The neighbOr-
hood has undergone a transformation
the name of the street has been
changed to Hillock avenue, and the
memory of the tragedy has been all
but blotted out.
Assistant States Attorney Frank
Grove believes. however, that enough
witnesses can be found to convict
Healy even at this late hour.

and wanderings read like dime novel.
ing killed another man, but escaped
and joined the United States army.
In Manila he was arrested and charg-
ed with the Kansas City murder.
Brought back to this country he was
tried and released because of the long
interval of time between the deed and
the trial.
His soldiers uniform taken from him
and discharged from the army, he
Travelled about the country, getting
into various scrapes and being incarce-
rated a number of times for alleged
completely in lawlessness and crime.
He visited Chicago on several occa-
sions, but always eluded the Chicago
police and avoided recognition and
capture.
It is due to Policeman Fitzgerald's
good memory that Healy was finally
captured Fitzgerald was detective
in plain clothes at the time Healy is
said to have killed Pormeranz. He
took an oath then never to cease in
his efforts to run Healy down.

Immediately and the murder of sew

vived.
Other witnesses were found and the
identification of Healy, in spite Of the
long interval of time since he had last
been seen. was complete.

YOUNG COUPLE UNDER ARREST
Wanted in New Jersey for CashIne
FORGED Check.

Vancouver B. C.-Clarence Leon
ard and his young wife have been ar
rested here. Leonard is charged with
having secured the cash for a forged
check of $10,075 in East Orange, n
j., two weeks ago. Nine thousand
two hundred dollars was found on the
persons of the couple. The lady had
eight one thousand dollar bills in he1
stocking. The remainder Of the
money was in smaller denominations
found in Leonard's clothing.
The Leonards were arrested in the
Hotel Vancouver, the most fashion
able hostelry in this town, where
they have been spending money Ike
water since they arrived couple OF
days ago. They were in their rooms
at the hotel when Detectives Jack
son and Mulhern, of the Vancouver
police force, placed them under ar
rest.
Leonard disclaimed any knowledge
of the check-cashing DEAL but when
the money was found he at once ad'
mitted his guilt, saying that ne was
the man wanted He declared ne
would fight extradition, but the woman
pleaded so hard to 90 back without
trouble that Leonard has agreed 70
return to stand trial. The couple reg
istered at the hotel as Mr.. and Mrs.

was received by the local police from
the Pinkerton agency at Seattle, ask
ing that Australia bound steamers De

CLERGYMAN ONCE
NOW An OUTClST
Habit of Imbibing Intoxicating Liquors
Proves the Downfall of
James ConaVaH.

James Donovan is the name given
at police headquarters by a man who
only few years ago was a minister
Of the gospel known for his eloquence
IN many of the EASTERN and middle
western states, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. Drink has been his
downfall, and step by step he has
sunken until three times within the
past ten days he has occupied a cell
with DRINKS and disorderlies at the
station.
He arrived here from Missouri about
two weeks ago with letters in his
pocket from clergy of high standing,
who were anxious to sc him get po-
sition and reform. However, the let
tiers were never presented, and, tat
tered and torn until almost past read
ing, they were among the effects taken
from him after his arrest.
Saturday afternoon a telephone mes
sage was received at the station from
a store near First avenue and Marion
saying an elderly gentleman was there
sick The wagon was sent out and re-
turned to the station with the man
know mas Donovan He was so drunk
that it was necessary to assist him up
the steps. His clothing is Of the best,
and he had a clerical air about him.
He replied promptly to the name un-
DER which he is registered, and was
taken to a cell, where he remained
for several hours to sober up. Late in
the evening he was in condition to
turn out. He did not attempt to con-
ceal his identity, and said it was
only an accident.
Yesterday afternoon Sergt. Stuart
and Patrolman Chapman found him on
Washington street in one of the re-
sorts frequented by women in a
brought in. He was sent to the sta
ton again, and there was recognized
as the same man who ten days ago
was held a few hours to sober up.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
has been drinking most of the time
he has been in the city, his linen is
Immediately clean Unable to stand
on his feet. yet his demeanor is good.
His English is the best, and he speaks
several different tongues
The inside of the jail has lost it's
terror for him. His only craving is
for drink and plenty of it. He ad-
mits his failing and says he cannot
stop.
According to the letters found on
him, he has been known far and wide
in the east as a lecturer of the most
forcible kind, and in every way has
been a gentleman. Two years ago
his habits led to his dismissal from the
church with which he had been con-
nected, and since that time he has been
travelling from place to place.
What will be done with him Is
question. He is not Of the kind Ordi-
narily sent to the police court, and
yet it appears that nothing but incar.
ceration will strafghten him up.
i Where he gets his money, is a mys-
terry. Each time he is brought to the
station he is broke. Not cent can
be found in his clothing, and still,
it is said at the saloons he frequents,
he pays for all his liquor, and exhibits
money in small amounts.

IN CHICKASAW COUNTRY

Ell Reno, o. T. July 15.-Sherif Ozmun
and his deputies returned last night from
the hills where they have put in the week
hard after the murderers Of Deputy
Sheriff Cross and We regret to say that
their Iabors have been fruiuess.
Sheriff D. c. Oates of Woods county
came up with them and was an overnight
guest with Jailer John Hackett and from
Mr.. Hackett the Democrat scribe got the
theory of Sheriff Oates, VINO is an ex-
perienced man on the frontier and who
personally knows the muTderers. Sheriff
2 Oates thinks the outlaws never stopped
after they left Binger until they reached
friends in the Chickasaw country and to
attempt TO follow them there at present
would be folly and the only hope of
getting them is 70 wait for an opportuni-
ty when they are of their guard and not
among a host of friends who VIII not
only keep them in hiding but protect
them against the officers in every possible
way.
The officers whe returned last night
coroborate Under Sheriff Roberts, who
came home Saturday night in the state
lnent that the reports from the field Of
operation have been largely fakes and
floating rumors, especially the one which
was said to have been received here by
Deputy [. S Marshal Holt and by him
telephoned TO the Annex in which it was
said the outlaws had killed deputy
sheriff of one Of the western counties
The story was based wholly upon wild
rumors and had no foundation except
in some enthusiasts prolific brain.
Sheriff Ozmun says there have been
from eighty to one hundred men after
the outlaws and scattered over large

bered that the murderers had at least
seven hours the start Of any pursuers
and twenty-four hours the start of an
organized posse.

BOOKS HAVE

Territorial School Land De-
partment Checked Up. =
APPOINTMENT DISCUSSED
No Doubt of Ability but Poll
tics Questioned.

Guthrie, o. T.. July 15.-Arl books,
notes and accounts in the office Of the
secretary of the territorial school land
department have been checked up and
today the new secretary, Fred L. Wen
ner of Kingfsher receipted 10 the for
mer secretary, James J. Houston of Perry
for the same. For the time being there
viii be no changes in the clerical force
of the office MI. Wenner is devoting
his time TO the work Of the department
and with his familiarity with territorial
business is having no trouble in acQuaint-
ing himself with the routine of the Of
flee.
Probably no appointment in the history
of the administration of T. B. Ferguson
has caused as much comment and speeu-
lation as the selection of Fred l.. Wen-
ner of KiRgfsher to succeed Mr.. Houston.
Mr.. Wenner, having been private seere-
tary to Governor Ferguson when he first
took charge OF the governors Office, Gov
ernor Ferguson then became acquainted
with Mr.. Wenners methods in transact
ing the business of the Office and became
satisfied that in the school land depart
ment as secretary his work would be a
success. There have been no criticisms
relative to Mr.. Wenner's ability and the
resultant speculation is from a political
standpoint.
The retiring secretary, Mr. James j.
Houston, has made no statement as to
his future plans. is probable, howevIeF,
that he will remain in Guthrie.
