SLASHED WRISTS.
Young Man Couldn't Get Into Hos
pral and Wanted to Die.

Hopkinsyille, KY, Aug. 51.-The
passengers on a Tennessee Central
train were much interested in a man
who was on the train with his wrists
bandaged and who attempted suicide
at Clarksville. The man gave his
name as A. G. Johnson and claimed
to be from Dickson. Tenn.
He went to GAINESVILLE and tried
to get into a hospital and receive
attention. Failing In this he went
razor and when the clerk handed it
to him he walked up front as If to
examine it.. When he had separated
himself from the other people in the
wrist in an attempt to sever the ar
terry, but the clerk caught him before
the vessel was cut. johnson begged
TO be. allowed TO kill himself, stat
ing that death would be a relief to
him.
He was put on the Tennessee Cen
trail train and brought to this city
last night where he staid until this
morning when the authorities sent
him to Nashville He is undoubted-
ly in poor health. but he is also
morphine fiend, and stated that he
had ,aken fifteen grains of the drug
before leaving GAINESVILLE and that
he had a similar supply for this
morning. Some people who saw him
claim the gashes were very slight
while others say that they were deep
and dangerous looking and that
when Johnson saw the blood he
thought he was going to die sure
enough and he. himself, caught his
arm above the wrist and stopped the
low

THE DELEGATES ARRIVE

Carlsbad. Aug. 31.--The result OF
the opening of negotiations here to-
day between the Swedish and Norwe-
gian commissioners on the question
of dissolution of the union is await
ed with intense interest.
The question mostly discussed Is
as to what fortresses Sweden will
call upon Norway TO abolish. There
is reason to believe these will be the
fortresses of Fredricksten. Kongs-
viger, Orje and Dingsrud, but II is
understood that the Norwegians will
refuse to abolish those of Friedrich
stem and Kongsviger.
Norwegian delegates arrived last
night. their hands are tied by the
decision of the Storthing that moth
ing shall be decided by them without
its consent The Swedish delegates
arrived this morning.

The press teens with accounts
of "Japan's magnanimity" in back
tracking on the indemnity question.
The fact in cold type, though, is prob
ably that Japan was not actuated by
any such motives, but was convinced
that If she continued the war. which
she would have had to do II she had
insisted on an indemnity the result
might have been entirely different
from what japan and the world ex-
pected. II were better to withdraw
gracefully with the bouquets than to
stay on too long and possibly get lick
ed in the long run. Japan didn't end
the war through any regard for hui
manity. but no doubt because 1t was
pointed out to her as the best policy.

people who for months had had the
mosquito theory dlnned into their

terminate the mosquitoes and to keep

malady, and many of those who live
to tell the tale will no doubt be will
ing to make affidavit that they didn't
contract the fever through the medi-
um of a mosquito bite. II is all right
to hold that mosquitoes help spread
the yellow fever, but to say that yell
low fever can be spread only by mos
quitoes is stretching it little too'far
1t is asking people of this enlightened
age to believe too much Havana

There are Just as many mosquitoes

Dr. William Bailey. of Louisville.

He thinks the germs have to be moe

believer in the mosquito theory.

sued that guarantees are often in

DR.. Bailey is ~ years old and has
been a member of the state board Of

BOARD had done all in its power and
was still doing It, for the good of the
state, and also called attention to
the fact that the board had recently
ordered that no one from infected
districts be allowed to come into the

certificate.
Those who heard DR.. Bailey agree
that his address was one OF the most
entertaining and convincing they ever

Daily Thought.
Thoughts are heard in heaven.
THE GREATEST MAN OF THE AGE

THE GREATEST MAN OF THE AGE
Had it not been for President
Roosevelt, there would have been no
peace.
The kilograms, cablegrams, and
letters congratulating the president
of the United States on his admirable
feat in bringing about peace between
Russia and Japan are not tokens OF
fulsome praise, but are messages OF
gratitude and admiration. Ali over
the civilized world L is admitted that
had not President Roosevelt stepped
into the breach at the right time and
in the right way, the peace confer
ence would have been over by this
time, and hostlites renewed.
A Berlin cablegram says:
president Roosevelt has become
the first figure in international states
manship-that is what Berlin thinks
of the result of the Portsmouth con-
ference. The foreign Office says un-
reservedly that without the Presi-
dents personal exertions. supported
by his unique position and the power
of the United States, peace would not
have been attained and that Ger
many and the whole world will bene-
fit by the craftsmanship shown by the
Washington government"
This is the tenor of them all, and
needless to say. the president is glad
his efforts were so successful.
The magnitude of the achievement
can hardly be fully realized. Peace
means the salvation of no telling
how many human lives. and the saw
ing of millions and millions of dol
lars in money and property.
It is almost incredible that
one man, backed by the knowledge
that he had the interests of humanity
at heart, a courage that never wav-
ers, and an excellent judgment in
carrying out his ideas, could accom-
plish so much in such a brief period
of time, yet 1t has been done, and the
world realizes and acknowledges that
IL has been done we'll II would be
too much to say dat President
Roosevelt could have done this with
out the assistance ana consent OF
Russia and Japan, but II is equally
as true that Russia and japan would
not have come TO terms but for the
good Offices of President Roosevelt
The names of many great men
have been immortalizcd by great
battles fought and won, by rivers OF
blood that were shed and by the
amount of valuable ships and other
property destroyed. But what histo-
ry can live long enough, what monu-
ment be great enough, to adequately
commemorate the name of Americas
greatest man. Theodore Roosevelt, or
to fittingly chronicle his achievement
in ending the greatest and bloodiest
war in the worlds history?

There should be some way to pre-
vail on the general council to extend
the sanitary sewerage TO the High
school building on Broadway. II
is badly needed. and has been for sew
eral years. II there were nothing
along the line of proposed extension
except the school, the improvement
would still be fully justified. but
there are living along the route
scores of the best citizens in Padu-
cab, and they want and are entitled

is to be hoped that the city will take
immediate steps to extend the sewer
age if il has to borrow the money.
