ChADW.CK'S UNCLE

TROY, Idaho, Dec. 24.--Dr. Leroy
s. Chadwick, whose wife, Mrs. Cassie
l.. Chadwick, is occupying the atten-
tion of the federal authorities of both
New York and Ohio, is a nephew Of
"Grandpa" jolly of this city. The
daily reports of the court and other
proceedings in the Chadwick case,
have an absorbing interest to Mr..
Jolly, who is quite confident that DR..
Chadwick is himself the dupe of his
wife and that this accounts for his
having no more interest in the case
against her.
II can remember when / used to
he was a little child. His father, who
was one of the truest gentlemen and
sincerest Christians of my acquaint-
ance, married one Of my sisters. He
was a wealthy man and was promi-
nent in his city and state. The son
looks and character, and has a beau
tiful home in Cleveland. I have a
large picture of his home, which is
one OF the handsomest on Euclid
avenue"
Mr.. Jolly, who is an aged man,
never seems to tire OF telling of his
nephew, and is especially severe in
his criticism of the woman who has
brought distress of mind, ruin of
purse and humiliation of spirit on
everyone who has trusted her.

valley, on the hill, so that all the
settings from the pipes, as a natural
result, find resting place in the
lower branch pipes which convey
water to the houses in the valley.
During the warm months the water
drawn from these branch pipes, after
standing a few minutes, emits an Of
fensive odor and can not be used for
drinking purposes.
1t Is to this source the dread
typhus germs are traced and the
sickness in the valley is attributed
to the contaminated water.
Just across the street from the
Clark home Is one family in which
there were two cases of typhoid
fever.
In the Wilson home is one daughter
who has been an invalid for months
and her illness is traced direct to the
impure water.
All this is due to the laxity Of the
health department methods and the
laziness and incompetence of the men
held in jobs by Fossil Weymouth. 1t
should be classed as criminal negli-
gence.

After few treatments the six
watermelon seeds were drawn
forth with the stomach pump. To
one or two was attached MEM
braneous growth showing the
seeds had lodged against the lin
ings Of the stomach or canal. The
lower seeds appeared smooth and
almost sound, while the upper
were eaten by gastric juices.
Since the withdrawal Of the
seeds the patient has been able to
eat and digest a few morsels Of

that they lodged at the mouth of

remained for four years.
The case is regarded as one of
the most remarkable cases in the
