he was raised at Leipsic, his foster
fathers name being Meinhold. After
studying under special tutors at Leip-
sic, he completed his education at
London.
The man refuses to disclose the
identity Of his parents, but says that
his claim to large inheritance Is be-
ing pressed. He was employed, he
says, in clerical work at London, and
came to America In 1898. During
most of the time since then he has
done farm work, but took term at
Mount Herman school In 1908, being
well known to its founder, the late
Dwight l.. Moody.
In Milton the man has proved a
good worker on Mr.. Aliens farm and
has spent his evenings in writing poe
try, depicting the beauties of New
England rural life. He often has
written letters to friends at Washing
ton, d. c., where he has spent some
time, and this fact gave what was re-
garded as a good clew to the Milton

Burlington, Nov. 22.-Claiming to
be Prince Albert of British royalty, a
singular character who was hurried
to Chittenden county Jail yesterday,
was as hastily released today. The
man, who gave no other name than
Prince Albert, answered in some ways
the description of one James Arthur
Kemp, alias J. H. Henderson, wanted
for embezzlement of several thousand
dollars in the District of Columbia.
Some astute Milton youths read the
account of the embezzlement and the
offer of reward of 5000, and as
the prince was something of
a mystery in Milton, they at once
thought he must be the man wanted.
Consequently they telegraphed the
authorities at Washington and sur
rounding the house of Heman Allen,
where the man was employed as a
farmland, they captured him and
rushed him behind the bars. Today
he was released because Of lack of
evidence against him.

hair long and done up in pug" like

culture, and seems out of place in the
clothes of a farmland. He maintains

True Cause of Disease.

TN these days almost every ailment 10
i supposed to be caused by disease
germs.
The medical profession as well as the
people, seem TO have gone mad over the
germ theory Of disease.
The universal fear and dread of dis.
ease germs Is becoming very serious
matter to the welfare and happiness Of
the people. ..
DR.. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
Of the germ theory, that most diseases
are caused by climatic Influences.
For instance, catching cold is respon-
sible for more than one-half Of the ills
to which human beings are subject.
Danger of Neglected Colds.
A person catches cold easily, thinks
nothing about 1t, negiecfs II, when 1t
finally becomes settled In some organ
Of the body, and chronic disease Is tho
result.
A few doses OF Peruna in the Begin
ming OF the cold would have saved
months of suffering, as well rs great ex-
pense for treatment
Peruna Is reliable relief for cold.
Almost every body knows this.
Instead of trying to dislodge or kill
some imaginary germ, il Peruna was
used at the proper time its tonic proper
tiles and anti-catarrhal qualities would
soon convince the patient that he has
f1npd ha r;Uht vopnalr
A multitude of letters are received
testifying to this fact.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use IL
whenever cold or climatic affections as
sail, and sickness in the household will
become greatly lessened, IL not entirely
prevented.
Catarrh of the Stomach.
Mr.. Christian Holman, X. +. D. I,
Slatington, Pa, writes:

LAKE DIVORCE CASE
Former Mrs. Lake Wants More Money
For Child.

Granville, Nov. 21.--In the appellate
division at Albany was argued an ap-
peal in the action of Grace NJ Lake,
plaintiff-appellant, against l.. Frank
Lake, defendantrespondent. This ap-
peal is from an order made at the San
dy Hill special term October II, 1907,
denying motion of plaintiff to vacate
judgment herein before granting her
an absolute divorce and for other re-
lief, upon the ground that the divorce
was obtained by collusion between
plaintiff and defendant and by reason
of fraudulent representations made by
defendant to plaintiff and through de-
PENDANTS coercion.
1t was alleged that the husband
sought the divorce so he could marry
again. The husband furnished all the
evidence and offered to pay all the ex-
pense. He wanted to give his wife
$4,000, threatening to leave her unless
she accepted. She now asks for more
money for the support of her child.
The Mrs. Lake figuring in this &C
ton was formerly Miss Grace License
of Pawlet, sister of Mrs. Warren Hol
lister of Granville. She was Lakes
third wife.

The Idaho verdict was expected as
q result of the testimony and the
judges charge to the jury. 1t was a
difficult matter for any juror to be-
lieve Orchard under any circumstances
because a man who murdered SO brut-
ally could not be regarded as reliable.
An oath meant nothing to him be-
cause q human life counted for moth
ing in his estimation. Orchard prob
ably told the truth so far as his own
murderous career went but Haywood's
connection with the murder of Steun-
enberg was not proven, admitting
that Orchard told the truth. The
battle between the mine owners and
the miners was no doubt bitter and
vindictive, aud there Is little doubt
that both sides were guilty OF brutal
violation Of law, yet when IL came TO
the removal Of Gov. Steunenberg. we
believe Orehard WAS alone responsible.
The killing Of a human being meant
no more to Orchard than the killing
or q snake, and there Is abundance Of
proof that our boasted civilization Is
rFthin when passions are aroused
and revenge is sought. There is no
room for socialisttc rejoicing over the
verdict. because noman is bigger than
the Law.
