Former President of Bank of Japan
Issues Statement Refuting Inti-
nations of Eraud

TOXIC, Oct. 6.-Former President
Tatsuo of the Yamamoto Bank of
Japan to-day issued a statement con-
corning the funds Of the Imperial Re-
lief Society in refutation of intimations
of fraud. The aspersions were di-
rected against Counts Matsuka and
Inouye, the promoters of the society.
The statement shows that $4OO, 600
was collected and safely deposited in
banks and that the banks were re-
quired to furnish security covering the
funds. The delay in distributing the
funds is due to the fact that the Gov
ernment and local societies are sue
cessfully caring for the destitute. The
relief funds are earning interest and

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds a Bottle of Carbolic Acid

While b mother was unpacklng an
old trunk a little Is months old baby
got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was so badly burned 1t was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says in
telling Of the case:
1T was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he o the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally 1 took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts,
and l am thankful 1 adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fieshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tirely well.
Il took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and I would
have to explain how he came to call for
it as it was his main food.
"The names of the physicians who at
tended the baby are DR.. Eddy of this
town and DR.. Geo. Gale of Newport, O.,
and anyone can write to me or to thelA

DEATH ENDS FIENDIsH JOKE
Aged Missouri Negro Is Given Fatal
Fright by Mock Preparations
for Cremation.

John G. Goodlow. an old Missouri
negro, was the victim of a fendish
practical joke perpetrated by a num-
Der of young "bloods". a few nights
ago.
All of the participants maintain a
discreet silence about the affair, and
the victim was buried with a certif-
cate from the cOroner's jury that death
was due to natural causes" 1t has
leaked out. however, that Goodlow
came to his death as a result of tor
lures and torments at the hands of his
white companions in an orgy.
The affair was intended as a Joke.
Goodlow was accused of some imag-
mary crime and the jokers proceeded
to mete out to him the punishment
which they pretended he deserved.
After tying him with ropes and nail
ing his feet to a board, he was covered
with wood and 's~havings and a kero-
sene rag placed near his nose, so that
he would get the smell. A bucket of
water, which the victim was informed
was oil. was thrown over him and
preparations were made to apply the
torch, when the old man suddenly
ceased his cries.
Then the testing ceased. The jokers
realized their fun had been carried
too far. They removed the debris and
began to unite the negro. When it
was discovered that he was dead he
was carried quietly away and dumped
in a corn crib where he "a found
the next dav.
The tragedy was enacted across the
Missouri line.

MAKES WAR HUMANE
A NEWLY = INVENTED SHELL
WOULD REDUCE FATALITIES.
Ingenious Device of Hungarian Said
tc Produce Sleep Instead of
Death-Offers It to
japan.

A Hungarian benefactor of the
human race has invented a means for
making war truly humane-without its
guilt, and with only rs per cent. of
its danger.
This amiable genius. whose expe-
rience of war dates back to the Aus
trian campaigns against France in
1859 and against Prussia in 1866, has
hit, he declares, on a solution of the
problem of making military omelettes
without breaking eggs.
He has invented a new kind of shell,
which on bursting liberates a gas war
ranted to incapacitate all who breathe
it, without producing any permanently
serious effects. A single shell of the
kind bursting between the decks of a
warship would convert it into the pal
ace of the Sleeping Beauty; only when
the crew recovered they would find
themselves laid up in a hostile port.
A regiment thus put out of action
would be none the worse in a few days,
but they would need to give parole not
to fight again. or wars would never
end. ~
This sounds like a fairy tale, but it
is by no means scientifically impossi-
BILE.
The inventor is full of confidence
that he can do what he promises, and
is now in communication with the Jap
anese government. His national hatred
of Russia, dating back to 1848, pre-
vented him from approaching the car,
to whose pacific tastes such an inven
ton should specially appeal.
If the shells in question prove to be
eficacious-as to which n must
await the trials which the inventor is
eager to undertake-The Hague con-
vention must include a new clause, to
the effect that all combatants once put
out of action are to consider them
selves dead until the end of the war.
In the future army at least one-half
will consist of ambulance corps for the
removal of these inert bodies. More
probably regular armies will be put
down, and there will be a premium on
volunteering.

DISCOVERY IN ROMAN FORUM
the Patriotic Youth, Is Found
by Sig. Giacomo Boni.

Sig. Giacomo Boni. the famous arch
a~eologist, who is directing the excava-
tions of the Roman forum, has made
what is considered the greatest discov-
cry of many years.
He came upon a place where. there
was an altar dedicated to Marcus Cur
thus. a patriotic Roman youth. who in
362 B.. c.. to placate the gods, jumped,
completely armed, On horseback. into
a chasm which had opened in the TO-
rum and which the soothsayers de-
clared could not be filed except by the
sacrifice of the chief wealth of strength
of the Roman people. After Curtius'
sacrifice, tradition says, the chasm i'm
mediately closed up.
The orifce of the chasm found by
Sig. Boni is formed by II large stones,
roughly sculptured. The ar~chaeologist
also found a hole which contained the
remains of sacrifices made in later
years to young Curtius on the altar.

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care IN
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is n settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one Of a thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of 1t.
