TOOK A ROUNDABOUT ROAD
Groundless Alarm of an Unfortunate
Traveller on a Forbid
ding Night

The phrase trace suicide, it is some
times asserted, did not originate in the
white house. but in the University of
Nebraska Prof Edward A Ross is said
to be the author of this phrase, relates
the Cincinnati Enquirer
Prof. Ross holds the chair of sociology
in the Nebraska.college. Some ten years
ago he taught at Cornell. One of his
| friends said of him the other day:
when Ross was teaching at Cornell
he had strange adventure one snowy
night
HE had been out of town, and On the
midnight train he returned to Ithaca.
1t was very cold, and the air was full
of snOwflakes None of the electric ears
were running. Poor Prof. Ross had to
set out for home on foot.
We'll mufied, his hands in his pockets,
he trudged along the silent streets,
through the soft, fresh snow. No one
was to be seen. 1t was lonely and for
bidding night.
Suddenly he heard behind him the,
sound of footsteps. He looked back, but
could see nothing through the binding
snow. He stopped. The footsteps
stopped. He went on again, and again
the stealthy footing in the rear was to
be heard.
@+Lonelier and Tonelfer the road be-
came. The footsteps grew louder. The
professor could now discern the figure
following him-a stalwart figure, car
Tying heavy club. In considerable per-
pIexity Prof. Ross kept on A lonely
cemetery lay on the right, and he en-
tered it.
Nov, beyond question, he would
learn whether or no this person was fol-
lowing him. He trudged knee-deep in
snow up one path and down another.
then he hid behind a tall white marble
shaft
THE man with the cudgel still fol-
lowed. He stopped and peered about
cautiously. All of sudden Prof Ross
confronted him.
What do you mean, he said. by fol-
lowing me in this fashion,
Why. said the other in a gentle
voice, L am about to visit the Smiths.
and they told me at the edpot that if
would keep behind you | would reach
their home all right, as you live next
door to them. Do you always take this
roundabout way home?'"

PROVES GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds Of people afflicted with rheu-
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks Of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
Four years ago suffered greatly
with rheumatism In my hands and
knees. After had been sitting while
my limbs seemed so heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as
kept moving I was all right, but just as
soon as I stopped, something seemed to
settle in my knees and make them ache
My hands were so bad / couldn't touch
the palms of them ona fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied so.''
"Did you call in physician?"
81 doctored steadily for over year;
then one doctor said You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
6 How, then, did you get rid of it ?"
CAT different times had read in vari-
GUS publications about DR.. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and finally decided to try them. took
them steadily for four months in ac-
cordance with the directions. By that
time was completely cured. !"
''Have you been free from it ever
since?''
'Since then have had but one sights
return of my trouble, and box or two OF
the same pills made me all right again. -
Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but single.
joint it shows that the blood isin faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one Of
the dangers is that it may break out in
the heart and then the result must be-
fatal The only security is to keep the
blood all the time III perfectly sound
condition.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial
This is thorough These pills are sold
by all druggists.

Remarkable Bell.

The bell at the modern church OF
Llandevaud. in England, a church built
so years, has curious history. The
present building was erected on the site
of a Reformation church, and while
il was in hand local farmer offered
TO give an old bell which was in one
of his barns. The offer was gladly &C
cepted. and the bell turned out to be
the original one from old Llandevaud,
which after some 800 years silence once
more calls the people to church.

Investigation Shows That Mrs.
Chadwick Dealt in Them to an
Almost Fabulous Extent.
SMUGGLED INTO THIS COUNTRY.
Over $25O,OOO Worth Of Diamonds
and Other Gems Have Been Traced
and Positively Located.
Only Small Portion of This Was Put
Up AS Collateral For Loans
The Greater Portion Went
AS Gifts To Friends.

Cleveland, o., Jan. DEMONSTRATION
into the charge that Mrs. Cassie L..
Chadwick smuggled large quantities of
diamonds, gems and other precious
stones into this country has developed
the fact that the woman dealt in pre-
cious stones to an almost fabulous ex-
tent. In order to make a case on the
charge of smuggling it was found nee
essary for the government authorities
to trace all the deals for diamonds and
jewelry made by Mrs Chadwick, both
in this country and Europe. The state
ment has been made by Collector Of
Customs Leach that considerably more
than $250,000 worth of jewelry and
precious stones handled by Mrs. Chad
wick has been traced and positively To-
Gated. 1t is added that this great
amount of jewelry has been uncovered,
with the investigation still incomplete.
Of this amount the government is di-
rectly interested in about One-third.
To Collect Unpaid Duties.
While the government is attempting
simply to collect any unpaid duties on
diamonds brought from Europe it is
said that all information secured
through the investigation will be plac-
ed at the disposal of Receiver Nathan
Loesser and that he will be able to
realize thousands of dollars for the
creditors of the woman. The investi-
cation has led to the discovery that
only very small portion of the pre-
cious stones and jewelry was put up
as collateral for loans made by Mrs.
Chadwick and that by far the greater
portion went as gifts to friends and
acquaintances.
The regular custom rate OF duty on
diamonds and jewelry brought to this
country is 10 per cent. of the value of
the goods. Figuring on this basis the
government authorities expect to real
ize between $4,000 and 100000 The
rest of the proceeds from the sale of
any jewelry on which duty has not
been paid, will be turned over to Mr..
Loeser to be distributed among the
Chadwick creditors.
Nothing But the Finest Articles.
1t is simply the truth to say that
Mrs Chadwick handled pearls, rubies,
sapphires, emeralds and garnets al
most literally by the peck, said a gov
eminent official. Testimony of experts
show that the woman did not handle
anything but the finest jewelry in the
entire lot that has been traced.
According to government officials
by far the greater portion of the jew
elry is in the hands of innocent per
sons scattered all over the country
The work of informing these people
that their claim on the jewelry is to
be protested is going on. The antici
patton is that practically all the people
who have the jewelry will agree to a
settlement without taking the matter
into court. At the same time the gov
eminent authorities as well as Receiv
err Loeser are taking steps to enforce
their demands in the matter if so com

TOBACCO RAISED IN SOUTH
Eight States Yield rs Per Cent. of
the Nations Entire
Crop.

There are 26 states of the union report
ing fractions of the country's CONNER
Cial tobacco crop. and as these reports
cover portions of New England and
northerly portions of the middle west
notably Wisconsin, cannot be said
that climate sets arbitrary limits to the
growing of the plant, such is the varia-
ton in its character and habitat. How
ever, the south is prominent in tobacco
production, and when this is said it may
be added that Virginia, North Carolina.
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee and Kentucky pro-
duce an average of IS per cent. of the
commercial crop, the percentage holding
good as to the number of acres devoted
to the plant, the number of pounds of
farm product and the farm value of that
product.
In 1903 Virginia produced 120, 913, 500
pounds on 162, 300 acres; North Carolina.
134,728,506 pounds on BLASTS acres:
South Carolina, 24,490,S90 pounds on
40,149 acres; Georgia, 1929 200 pounds
on 5000 acres; Alabama, 254 ,745 pounds
on 629 acres; Mississippi, "a 1856 pounds
on 1913 acres; Tennessee, 49,838, 800
pounds on II, 1913 acres, and Kentucky,
267 ,26O, $50 pounds on 33S, 304 acres, MAX
ing total of 1926, 500 acres cultivated and
589 ,869,937 pounds produced, which
product was valued at $37 ,339,913
This was the farm value, which
should not be COMPOUNDED with export or
other values. The various landings,
gradings and other manipulations to
which the crop is subjected add greatly
to the value of leaf tobacco in it's jour
ney from producer to consumer, more
noticeably perhaps than is the case with
any other important farm crop.

Fully identified.

ter, colored and George H. Hazel, cab
man of Washington, who saw the man
who attempted to blow up the statue,
and Detective Sergt Arthur Carey OF
New York, and a Mrs. Curry, who
keeps a boarding house in the latter
city, arrived here for the purpose Of
identifying the prisoner
Having satisfied themselves beyond
doubt that the Identification was com
plete, the police officials of the three
cities set to work in obtaining a con-
fessiOn from the prisoner. He said he
had manufactured the Internal ma
chine himself and that it consisted OF
candle, fuse and dynamite mine"
Where be made it he would not say.
It was his intention, he said, to blow
up the statue at night because he did
not want to hurt anybody. Because
of the ice in the Potomac river he
failed to find any one who would row
him from Seventh street wharf, Wash
ington, to the arsenal, which is on one
bank of the river, and he had to change
his plans. The failure to destroy tho
statue, he said, must have been due to
the melting tallOw spelling the fuse or
interfering with the dynamite. Ros-
seau then gave the police the inter
esting information that he had intend
ed making a second attempt to blow
up the statue, this time with clock

October % and from time to time the
newspapers. particularly of the east,
have published articles on the mystic
rious disappearance These, the po-
lice believe, undoubtedly attracted
Rosseau's attention. The other day he
called on Patrick Kelly, the brother
of the missing man, and offered to take
him to his brother in New York for
$500. He said he and Owen Kelly be-
longed to secret societies that were
organized for the purpose of blowing
up British ships in American ports.

ped a Washington newspaper. This
gave the police the clew that he might
know something Of the explosion at
the statue of Frederick the Great, and
his picture was taken and sent to both
the Washington and New York author
tiles. In the meantime he was also
suspected of knowing something Of the
steamship Umbria incident.
