SCIENTIFIC
New Theory Of Earth's Heat.

New Theory Of Earth's Heat.
Professor Rutherford of McGill uni
versity, Montreal, Canada, in a lecture
before the Royal institution at Lon
don, has suggested that the earth'sI
heat was attributable to the presenceI
Of radium instead Of to a molten mass
which had been slowly cooling for al
million years. Professor Rutherford
is the man who was first to measured
the mass and velocity Of the radiuBS
electrons and is recognized authorit5s;
in this field. He said it was probrg
able that radium was present in aESs
matter. The theory, if accepteaa
by science, would mean a reconstruct
ton of geology, leading to the con-s
clusion that the earth has been in-S
habited for millions of years.

she was woman and could not help
glancing back, and, meeting my du-
bious look, she broke into an arch
smile and naively added this remark:
Loretta is a busybOdy ashamed of her
own curiosity. So much there can be
no harm in telling you. When ones
knowledge has been gained by linger-
ing behind doors and peeping through
cracks, one is not so ready to say what
one has seen and heard. Loretta is in
that box and, being more than a little
scared by the police, was glad to let
her anxiety and her fears overflow into
sympathizing ear. Won't she be sur
prised when she is called up some fine
day by the coroner! 1 wonder if she
will blame me for it?"
"She will never think Of doing So"
basely assured my little friend, with
an appreciative glance at her sparkling
eye and dimpled cheek.
The arch little creature started to
cried, "Be good, and don't let Durbin
cut in on you," but stopped for the Sec
ond time when half across the street.
and when, obedient to her look, hasti-
ly rejoined her, she whispered demure-
ly: ooh, I forgot to tell you something
that l heard this morning and that
nobody but yourself has any right to
know. I was following your COM
mands and buying groceries at Simp
kins' when, just as I was coming out
with my arms full, heard old Mr.,
Simpkins mention Mr.. Jeffrey's name
and with such interest that naturally
wanted to hear what he had to say.
Having no real excuse for staying,
poked my finger into bag Of sugar
was carrying till the sugar ran out.
and I had to wait till it was put up
again. This did not take long, but it
took long enough for me to hear the
old grocer say that he knew Mr.. JEFF
frey and that that gentleman had come
into his shop only day or two before
his wife's death to buy-candles"
The archness with which this was
said, together with the fact itself.

small figure faded from sight down the

and follow up whatever communica-

confession Of my own suspicious and

laughed-well, could stand it. 1t was

RELIGIOUS
Methodist Bishops Elected.


After three weeks of strenuous labor
and numerous ballots the general con-
ference of Methodists at Los Angeles
succeeded in electing the eighth bishop
recommended by the episcopacy COM
mittee. The complete list chosen is as
follows: Berry, Chicago; Spellmeyer,
Newark, N. j.; Mcdowell, New York;
Bashford, Delaware, O.; Burke, Rome,
Italy; Wilson, Baltimore; Nicely, Phila-
delphia; Day, Syracuse. The most not
able feature of the election was the bal
loting for Chancellor Day of Syracuse
university and Thomas B. Nicely, both
of whom were vigorously opposed on
charges of heresy, ungentlemanly con-
duct, etc. Day finally succeeded in
getting the floor and denied the charges
against him. whereupon his assailant,
DR.. Munhall Of Philadelphia, was hiss
ed, and Days election followed by
vote of Ala, ten more than enough for
a choice At later session Dr. Day
presented his resignation as bishop,
which was accepted by the conference.
The choice of an eighth bishop in his
place was indefinitely postponed

Eastern Freight Tie-up.

L. J. Curran, president of the Inter-
national Freight Handlers union, an
nounced May 26, after several fruit
less conferences with the New York,
New Haven and Hartford officials, that
all the freight handlers and most Of
the marine fremen and oilers between
New York and Boston had been called
out on strike and threatened that if
the company didn't respond promptly
to last appeal from the Civic Fedora
ton a sympathetic tie-up of all the
coastwise steamship lines would go
into effect. In the meantime thousands
of tons of perishable freight were at
stake The New Haven was claiming
a victory by hiring nonunion men and
keeping a large part of it's freight in
motion by roundabout routes. 1t was
estimated that about 11,O0O men were
on strike. The trouble began on the
New York piers of sound steamboat
lines. A demand for higher wages was
made besides the discharge Of non
union foreman.
Lake Steamers Ordered Out.

Your Heart
May Be Weak. One
Person in Four Has
a Weak Heart.

One Of the surest signs of a weak
heart is shortness Of breath after exercise.
Your heart is not able to pump the
blood fast enough to your lungs.
Some of the other symptoms of Heart
Trouble are: Pains in the Side, Back
and Shoulder; Painting or Weak Spells;
Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet and Ankles;
Cold Feet or Hands.
No one can afford to allow a weak
heart to go without medicine, because
weak heart means poor circulation, and
poor circulation means weak lungs,
stomach, liver, kidneys, etc.
If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble,
begin taking DR.. Miles New Heart Cure.
The Heart Cure will do you good, as it is
a splendid tonic for the blood and nerves,
and will revitalize your entire system.
Finally, remember, Dr. Miles New
Heart Cure is sold under a guarantee
that the first bottle will do you good.

FOUND DEAD.
Entrance to House Made
With a Crowbar.

Ed. Carberry, aged about 65, a
bachelor, who lived alone in his
shanty in the southeast part Of
town, was found dead Tuesday
about noon. Neighbors saw no
signs of life about tue place and
examination was made, with the
discovery as mentioned above.
Carberry was for several years
proprietor of the Mexico foundry.
He was an old soldier aud drew a
pension.
Living alone, he perhaps took
sick and died without being able
to lei his neighbors know of his
affection.
Coroner q. T. Varnon held an
inquest.
1t was rumored about town that
perhaps he had been killed for his
pension money, but his last quar-
ter's pay is now at the Mexico
postoffice, ready to be drawn. Fur
Their evidence against fowl play is
that the house was locked on the
inside and the door had to be brok
en- open. His pet cat was with
him and was trying to get out thru
the window when the neighbors
appeared to examine the premises.
