A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women in
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
Of 90 Chester Avenue,
Newark. y. D., who is "a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia. and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital. writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage OF personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has TO say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. II is prudent
10 heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs. Pohlman writes:
Il am firmly persuaded,

with Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, that it
is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman TO
use.

the wound in the breast of Hayes,
the knife and the right hand of
Bradford were bloody, and with
such apparent evidence of guilt the
jury convicted him, and the judge,
in sentencing him to death, said:
Mr.. Bradford, either you or
myself committed this murder"
Bradford was hanged shortly
afterward, protesting npon the
scaffold that he was innocent, but
he died disbelieved by al.
But Bradford was innocent after
ALL The murder was actually done
by the footman of Mr.. Hayes, who
Immediately upon stabbing his
master rified his pockets of his
money and gold watch and escaped
back to his own room just before
Bradford entered. Eighteen months
after Bradford was hanged the foot
man became Ill and upon his death
bed confessed the murder and gave
to the officers of the law the watch
and a part of the money he had
stolen from his master.
''But the strangest part of this
strange case has yet to be told.
Bradford, though innocent Of the
murder, and in no way connected
with it, was nevertheless, a muir
derer at heart. He had heard Mr..
Hayes say at supper that he had a
large sum of money with him, and
he went to his bedroom with the
dark lantern and knife intending to
kill and rob HIM. But When he
reached there he was struck with
amazement, when he turned back
the bedclothes, to find the man al
ready stabbed, bleeding and dying.
In his agitation he dropped his
knife upon the breast of the muir
dered man, and thus the knife be-
came bloody, and in picking it up
his hand was covered with blood,
too. At this moment the two men
entered and caught him.
'tThese circumstances Brad ford
confessed to the clergyman who at
tended him after his conviction, and
the clergyman afterward made them
public"

NOTHING TO FEAR.

The fear and trem bling noticeable
on the part of few weakened
republicans when the name of
Bryan is mentioned as the demo-
cratic nominee for president in 1908
Is amusing TO sa V the least.
His late home coming after a
spectacular year abroad and the re-
Ception rendered HIM in New York
rs part of the grandstand play pro-
gram carefully figured out before
i2e went away.
Mr.. Bryan has been constantly
n the limelight for the past ten
years. He made himself notorious
" dIsrupting the democratic party
IN the convention of 1896, and has
@gxlned new notoriety this year by
wiping out the old party and estab-
fishing a Bryan party in its place.
The noise and confusion resulting
mas led some people to believe that

A GOOD ROADS SOCIETY.

The movement in favor of good
country roads is being helped along
In Winnebago county by a local or
ganlzation. A formal society organ
ization having been effected com
mittee was appointed to solicit
funds for the purpose of maintain
ing it and doing missionary work
IN favor Of good roads building.
The committee has met with I'M
expected success in collecting funds,
finding that everyone is interested
in the plan to better the condition
of the roads and that it only needed
an organization to bring the senti-
ment to the surface. Many who
would reap no pecuninary benefit
literally donated toward the main

An Innocent Man Hanged.

Zone of the strangest cases Of er-
roneOus conviction of which I ever
knew" said the old LAWYER, twas
that of Jonathan Bradford, who
YVES hanged in Oxford, England, for
the murder of Christopher Hayes.
Bradford was an innkeeper and a
respectable man, too. One even
ing Hayes, who was travelling to-
ward London, stopped at his inn
and while in conversation with two
men at supper mentioned to them
that he had upon his person a large
sum of money. Late that night,
after every one in the Inn had re-
tired, the two men heard groans
from an adjoining room, as of one
dying in pain. They both arose,
lighted candle and went softly to
the door Of the next room. There
was a light in the room and the
door was ajar. They entered and
saw upon the bed, weltering IN his
blood, the body of a man. Another
man stood over him with knife in
one hand and a dark lantern in the
other. The man seemed as terrified
as themselves, but his terror carried
with it all the indications of guilt,
says the Kansas City Star.
1.-THE two men soon discovered
that the murdered person was
Christopher Hayes, with whom
they had talked at the supper table
the night before, and the mar
standing over him was Bradford
the landlord. They seized Brad
ford at once and disarmed him Of
his knife, which was covered with
blood. Bradford assumed an air Of
innocence, positively denied the
crime. and asserted that he, too
had heard the groans and got out Of
bed, struck a tight, armed himself
with a knife for his defense, anC
had but that minute entered the
room before them.
This sort of defense was of NJ
avail. It was proved at the tria
that Bradford had heard Hayes tel
about having a large amount OF
money with him. 1t was proved
that Bradford's knife exactly fitted

tenance of the society while the
business men and merchants of Osh-
kosh to a man stood willing to do
their full share. Winnebago coun-
ty will soon be blessed with first
class country roads as the start in
that direction we'll attests.
What is being done there should
be duplicated in every county in
the state. Among the rest Grant
county is sorely in need Of such a
society. Good roads are not only
a source of pleasure to those driv-
ing them; they mean added bust
ness to the merchants of the city
and for this, If for no other reason,
a concerted effort should be made
in Lancaster to stimulate the work
of good road making througho Ut
the county.

the republican party has Deen lost
in the shuttle.
What is Bryan today that he was
not in 1896 and 1900? The same
Bryan with a few reform frills
added. The conservative element
of the democratic party will not
support him, and if he can command
any republican strength it has yet
to be discovered.
Bryan will doubtless be the nOmi-
nee of his party, but he will poll
less votes than ia any previous
campaign. The American people
are not destitute of common sense
and there is no occasion for fear or
uneasiness.
The successor of President ROose-
velt will be republican, and while
it is too early to name the man the
party may be relied upon to select
a candidate who will inspire conf
dence.
The office of president is an i'm
portant office, and the man who
fills 1t must represent more than
the man. He must be an exponent
of principles which have been tested
ard he must come from the ranks
of some party in whom the people
have confidence.
There is only one party of this
kind in the United States today,
and that is the republican party.
Organism is not democracy. 1t is
nothing but an experiment badly
tinctured with socialism and which
would fall apart of its own weight
if its founder were removed from
the stage of action.
The reins of national government
will never be transferred to this
kind of party.

While everything points to re-
publican victory in Wisconsin, it is
no time to let apathy creep IN and
do its deadly work. The democrats
are putting up the most vigorous
fight of which they are capable. and
republicans in every section of the
state should bestir themselves, to
the end that the pluralities for
Governor Davidson. and of the rest
of the ticket, may sustain the
Badger reputation for republican
victories.

is receiving the support of hundreds
of Republicans who were opposed
to him two years ago and his cleo
ton is predicted by an increased
majority. However, his friends
should not forget to vote for him
and get their neighbors to do the
same. The democratic nominee is
making an active canvass of the
district and is putting up an active
