REMEMBERED HIS LAST WORDS
Feudist Was Attending to Business
When Killed.


When Killed.
In some way the discussion in the
Democratic cloak room turned to the
last words of dying men. John SHARP
Williams dug up a good many o,
these sayings in that remarkable
storehouse he keeps in the top Of his
head. and several others contributed
few.
81 don't know many of the last SEN
timents of great men" said Represen-
tative South Trlmble Of Kentucky,
"but this talk reminds me of the in
quest they held over the body of
Chad Howard down in my state. Chad
Howard was mixed up in one of the
feuda. and he killed few OF them
and they took him to the county jail,
which was big affair. made with
very thick walls and but one window
and an ironbound door. Howard was
the only prisoner in the jail. One
night the Taller came in to keep him
company. and they began shaking a
friendly game of dice on box top,
with a candle between them.
After the game had been going on
for half an hour man who was allied
with the other end of the Howard
feud came up to the window, put
double barreled gun through. and
blew off the top Of Towards head.
They had an inquest. and the jailer
was the star witness. He described
Towards death in minute detail.
Then the coroner said: Can you
tell the jury what were the last
words of the deceased?'
Yes, sir the jaiIer replied. 4

the last dyin' words of the deceased
was; Three aces to beat" '"-Chi-

Prof Albert H. Smyth Of Phila-

Franklin and the two hundredth an
niverssry Of his birth.
81 am glad" he said, "that this
anniversary was so largely observed.
Franklin, let our governor say what
he will, was a great man.
Franklin was eminently a prac-
teal man." Prof. Smyth went on.
The boy Franklin who walked into
Philadelphia eating roll had the
elements of success already well de-
veloped in him. Had he got q place
with grocer'-here Prof. Smyth
smiled-"he would not have conduct
ed himself in the manner OF boy
whom I heard about yesterday.
This boy stood behind the counter
In a grocery when a woman entered
and asked for pound of Java cot

"The boy dipped his scoop in the
coffee bin.
"Then suddenly the woman ex-
claimed:
"Oh, no. The minister is coming
to dinner tomorrow. Give me the
best Bourbon Mocha, please
"But the boy kept on ladling the
coffee out of the same bin and the
woman said angrily to him:
" Didn't you hear me say wanted
Mocha instead of Java?
Yes'm.' said the boy, but that
don't make no difference in the bin
only in the price.

A sudden and startling awakening
IN the night, apparently due to no par
ticular cause, often leaves the sufferer
so wide awake that sleep afterward is
almost impossible. In such case an
excellent remedy is to take 100 sips
of cold water very slowly.

The changeable weather of spring

AS a result, II. o. Rolls has had a
larger sale for Hyomei the past week
than ever before in the years that he
has handled this reliable treatment for
the cure of catarrh.
If there is single catarrhal germ
in the system, Hyomei will search it
out and absolutely destroy it, complete
ly graduating the trouble. The rene
dy has made so many cures among H.
o. Rolls customers that he offers TO
pay for it himself if it does not benefit
even the worst case of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only 81.

dropper and bottle of Hyomei, while

this small expense if Hyomei does not

ords that would show whether there
were women kept in connection with
the saloons. He offered his own little
police record to show how few there
were, but this was joke with the al
dermen as they have come to fully I'M
derstand that it is no sign that the
women are not there simply because
the mayor has not seen it proper to ar
rest them.
Women Imported.
His police record is looked upon as
a ridiculous document to give evidence
as TO the women in and about the sa-
looms, when there is ample proof on
the county records. The raids OF the
sheriff on the authority of the states
attorney made this matter OF public
record and it is calling to the mayor.
He attempted to explain this by init
mating that the women were brought
from Davenport for the purpose of be
ing ''raided'' He attempted to Justify
his own administration by saying that
Mayor McConochie ran the city in the
same way, but he was called by Alder
man Ecllhart. Mho reminded him that his
campaign for election TO the Office of
mayor was made on the alleged rotten
ness of the McConochie administration.
