Marble Heart, last week, when he and del

Terrific Storms in GERMANY,

BERLIN, May 15.-Terrifc thunderstorms
were reported today from several parts of
Western and Southern Germany. A hail
storm did great deal of damage to the vine
yards and the crops in the fields in Lower
Franconia.
Several persons were killed by lightning,
and numerous farmhousss were burned and
the animals killed in the neighborhood of
Treves, which also suffered severely from
hailstorm.
In parts of the Moselle wine district the
years crop has been destroyed.
The field crops were greatly damaged in
the Saar Valley through the flooding caused
by the heavy storms, which continue. In the
Lower Rhine districts, however. the protracted
drouth continues to prevail. In most parts of
Northern Germany the meadows are drying
through the lack of rain and the cattle are
suffering. The railroads are taking extra
precautions to prevent forest fires.
The German sailing vessels the Ingwar.
Emilia and Sophia have foundered in hur,
ricane that swept over the North Sea. Their
entire crews were drowned.
The vessels were all bound for South Amer.

A Cure For Hydrophobia I?

LEXINGTON, KY. May 1S-In view of the
increase of hydrophobia victims Judge Robert
j. Breckenridge, of Danville, Boyle county,
who is known as one of the most learned
jurists in the South, and was brother of the
famous Col. W. c. P. Breckinridge, now de-
ceased of this city, has furnished what he says
he knows is a sure cure for hydrophobia.
Judge Breckenridge says:
Zone ounce and half of eecampane root
bruised is put into pint of new milk and re-
duced one.half by boiling. Take it all al once
in the morning. fasting until afternoon, or at
least not eating until several hours have passed.
The second dose should be the same as the
first, except two ounces of the root are needed.
The third dose should be the same as the
second. Three doses are all that are needed
for the cure. This medicine can be given at
any time before the spasms come upon the
bitten person. A dose for horse or cow
should be three or four times as large as that
for person. From my own experience and
from witnessing the effect on others l know
that this remedy will cure"

A U. S. Judge Under A Cloud.


The U. S. Department of Justice, at the re.
quest Of citizen of Michigan, has ordered an
Investigation of Judge Henry H. Swami,
United States district judge of the Eastern dis.
trict of Michigan.
1t was represented to the Attorney General
sometime ago that business in the court was
far behind. The complaint in the matter de-
clared that a case had been argued four years
ago and yet undecided. When he inquired of
the clerk how long he would be expected to
wait for an opinion and how many cases were
ahead, he was told, he says, that the informa-
ton would have to be paid for. In previous
case the same litigant charges that the same
judge postponed decision three years.
The Department of Justice called on Judge
Swann's clerk for statement of the condition
of the docket, and brought out the information
that 800 cases that had been argued were still
pending undecided.
A special agent has been sent out to inves.
tigate.

beloved wife of Edwin NJ. Shipey.
Day by day we saw her fade
And slowly pine away;
Yet in our hearts we often prayed
That she might longer stay.
Through all her suferings at times she smiled.
The smile of heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant In our home
Which never can be filed
BY HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN.
