The COMMUNICATION of George Frederic
Degen andNorman McKinnon i'm last
Thursdays paper was misleading and
has been wrongly interpreted by the
public. We have waited hoping that
these gentlemen might see fit to ex-
plain the situation. Since they do not
perhaps we may add a word of explain
alton. They did sign the original COM
munlcatlon that appeared in the Jour-
nal of Jan. 81 and did enter into the
Identical compact that the rest of the
clergymen signed. But after the doc
ument left these words We're added to
it: This is not casting reflection on
the undertakers of our city" Four Of
us agreed to that addition that no
wrong Inference might he made The
other two not being at home the COM
munication WIS sent in on the suppo-
Sition that they would favor what was
agreeable to the others. But il is this
to which they object. hence their com
munication of Thursday last. We feel
the public ought to know this and I'M
derStand that We did not in any way

ton and Lack of Vitality.
The first sign of returning health is
increase Of flesh, strength and vigor.
This weakness, emaciation and lack
OF vitality simply means that certain
substances, which go to make up the
blood and nerves, have become ex-
hausted; and to renew flesh, muscle
and strength, these substances must
be restored. DR.. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food is composed of the same
kind of substances that are lacking in
the impoverished blood and nerves
when in poor health. and abundant in
the rich juices that flow through the
system when in perfect health. If peo.
pie would take this food occasionally
when in health to keep their blood
and nerves in good condition, many
spells OF sickness and wasting disease
would be prevented. 1t makes sick

Gle on thin people, gives strength to
weak people, restores the lost vitality
to nervous people, imparts the tint OF
health to pale and sallow people. It

on the floor he unblushingly made
statements that caused more than one
Of his auditors to turn his head away
with shame. After questions of this
nature had been concluded, Raisinger
told of the killing of his wife. His
story did not materially differ from
those already made public, except that
he declared that he shot his wife while
she was lying on the kitchen floor.
When Raisinger was cross-examined
by District Attorney Fithian he sur
prised everybody by making the state
ment that after he shot his wife he
tried to commit suicide by turning the
shotgun on himself, but on account of
the awkward way in which he had to
hold the gun he was unable to pull the
trigger.
This stage of the proceedings was
exceedingly dramatic, and Raisinger,
.coolly and collectedly, handled the
weapon and showed how he killed his
wife and then tried self-destruction.
The startling part Of the cross-ex-
animation was that the prosecutor
was unable to obtain any motive for
the murder from the testimony of the
witness. He denied that his wife was
angry with him, and that she struggled
against him. He said she lay on the
kitchen floor, and he, for no reason
whatever, went into the sitting room,
and, getting the weapon, came back
and shot her. He then went back into
the other room, and, lying on the
couch, pointed the gun at his breast,
and, stretching his arm out, tried to
pull the trigger, but was unable to.
Then he returned and shot the woman
again. She was still alive when he
fred the second shot, as her head was
moving and her hands twitching.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 10-The Vir-
ginia electoral college met and cast its
vote for Parker and Davis for presi-
dent and vice president respectively.
State Senator w. P. Barksdale. one
of the electors-at-large, in a short
speech said that the college was not
free, as was intended, to vote as its
members might see flt but must vote
in accordance with the mandates of the
party. Were he free and untrammeled,
he said he would not vote for Parker,
but more than $4,000 Democrats of the
state had cast their ballots for him
and he bowed to their will.
"If it was a safe Democracy" he
said, then it was insane. Eighty thou
sand people went to the polls and vot-
ed, while 10000 resented the insult
and management of the campaign by
the men who four years ago turned
their faces on Bryan"
Mr.. Barksdale said that Roosevelt
was fast becoming a good Democrat
and that if he came further down the
road the Democrats would gladly
name him as their standard bearer.
The speaker declared that for one he
would welcome the president into the
Democratic ranks.
