PLEADS "UNWR|TTEN LAW
Judge W. G. Loving Kills Young
Theodore Estes in Virginia.
Manager of T. f. Ryan's Estate Says
No Power Could Have Prevented
Death of Daughters Assailant.

Lynchburg, Va.-Former Judge w.
dore Estes at Oak Ridge, the country
estate of Thomas F. Ryan, was ad-
mitted to $4,000 bail. He will plead
the unwritten law at his trial.
Charging Estes with drugging his
daughter Elizabeth, aged nineteen,
and assaulting her while in a drugged
condition, after learning of the al
legged incident from the lips of his
daughter, Judge Loving drove some
eight or ten miles before locating the
young man, and he shot and killed
him with a double-barreled shotgun,
without waiting for the victim to
make any explanation.
Judge Loving represented Amherst
County before moving to Nelson in
the Legislature and served as Judge
of the County Court of Nelson until
that court was abolished by the new
Constitution. For three years he has
been in charge of the Ryan estate as
superintendent. Bail Commissioner
Payne, who allowed Judge Loving's
bail, made the following statement:
JuuSO hONluS l0dl uSu Cudt Issues
had taken his daughter riding Sunday
night, and he brought the girl back
home drugged and unconscious.
Judge Loving waited until he could
get the full story from the girls lips
about the drugging and assault, and
then he took his gun and went in
search of Estes.
Judge Loving said: when l heard
the awful story from the lips of my
dear n I was insane. l waited to
learn all the facts and then nothing
in Gods or mans power could have
stopped me from taking his life. I
did it after careful consideration"
Miss Loving is in a highly nervous
condition as the result of the affair,
and is confined to her bed. Harry
Snead, a brother-in-law of Judge Low
ing, learned from his sister, Mrs.
Loving, of her husbands mission, and
he made a desperate effort to stop
him, reaching Oak Ridge three min
utes after the shooting. No further
trouble is anticipated.

ARBOR DAY ANNUAL ISSUED.
Advice Regarding Tree-Planting Sent to tht
Schools.

New York City.-The Arbor Day
annual for Friday, May 3, has been
sent out to the schools of the State
by the Education Department at AL
bany. The pamphlet is illustrated,
some of the cuts showing how the
happy natural location of a country
schoolhouse may be improved by sys-
tematic planting.
A letter from A. S. Draper, Com
missioner of Education, to the schools
is contained in the annual, and there
are chapters on trees and shrubs for
school grounds, the forests of New
York, and a description of the Fair
view Garden School at Yonkers. In
discussing tree-planting, the annual
says:
During the past eleven years there
have been planted on the school
grounds of the State of New York
1859 trees. From the establish
ment of Arbor Day in 1889 until
1896 there were planted 1921
trees, making a total in the past
eighteen years of 31S,920. There are
yer 10000 school commission dis
tricts in the State. This would give
more than thirty trees to every dis
trict If they were proportionately dis
tributed.
'Since the establishment of Arbor
Day practically every district has at
n time or another reported the
planting of some trees. An inquiry
recently addressed to the school CON-
missioners revealed the fact that
there are over 1000 districts in the
State with absolutely no trees or
shrubs on their school grounds, and
many others with only a few stray
Cling trees. Further than that, a
very small per cent. of the whole
number of districts give any sort of
attention to the care of their grounds.
Apparently, there is more need
for the care of trees and shrubs than
there is for actual planting. 1t is
easy enough for an enthusiastic
teacher to work up appropriate cere-
monies for Arbor Day, but too often
the teacher finds no practical re-
Spouse from the patrons of the school.
1T ought to be understood by
school officers everywhere that mere
sentiment will not arouse the patrons
of a school district to beautify their
school grounds. The whole matter
must in some way be put before them
on a plain business basis. They must
see that it pays, as in the end it most
certainly does, to paint the school
house whenever it needs it, to plant
and care for trees and shrubs about
the grounds, and give the whole place
an inviting air of cleanliness and re-
spectability hat commands the re-
spect and admiration of the stranger
and teaches an invaluable lesson to
the home community"

ARB0R DAY PROCLAMATION.
The President Appeals to the School Children
to Observe 1t ThOushtfully.

Washington, D. C. - President
Roosevelt issued a kind of personal
proclamation to "The school children
of the United States" 1t contains an
appeal to them to observe Arbor Day
in a thoughtful spirit, with the pur-
pose of preserving the forests for
future generations. This is the
Presidents appeal:
To the School Children of the United
States:
Arbor Day (Which means simply
tree day") is now observed in every
State in our Union and mainly in the
schools. At various times from Janu-
airy to December. but chiefly in this
month of April, you give a day or
part of a day to special exercises and
perhaps to actual tree planting in
recognition of the Importance of trees
to us as a nation and OF what they
yield in adornment, comfort and use
full products to the communities in
which you live.
1t is we'll that you should celebrate
your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for
within your lifetime the nations need
of trees will become serious. We of
an older generation can get along
with what we have, though with
growing hardship; but in your full
manhood and womannood you will
want what nature once so bountifully
supplied and man so thoughtlessly
destroyed; and because of that want
you will reproach us not for what we
have used but for what we have
wasted.
For the nation, as for the man or
woman and the boy or girl, the road
to success is the right use of what we
have and the improvement Of present
opportunity. If you neglect to pre-
pare yourselves nov for the duties
and responsibilities which will fall
upon you later, if you do not learn
the things which you will need to
know when your school days are over,
you will suffer the consequences. So
any nation which in it's youth lives
only for the day reapS without SOW
ing and consumes without husband
ing, must expect the penalty of the
prodigal whose labor could with diff
Guilty find him the bare means of life.
A people without children would
face a hopeless future; a country
without trees is almost as hopeless;
forests which are so used that they
cannot renew themselves will soon
vanish and with them all their bene-
fits. A true forest is not merely a
storehouse full OF wood, but, as it
were, a factory of wood, and at the
same time a reservoir of water.
When you help to preserve u for
ests or to plant new ones you are
acting the part of good citizens. The
value of forestry deserves, therefore,
to be taught in the schools, which
aim to make good citizens of you. If
your Arbor Day exercises help you to
realize what benefits each n of you
receives from the forests and how by
your assistance these benefits may
continue, they will serve a good end.

Some Object in Nature Should
Be Given Pupils TO Study

Ithica, N. Y.-Several weeks be-
fore Arbor Day some object in nature
should be given to each pupil to
study, so that the results of personal
observations may be contributed to
the celebration Of the day. The older
girls and boys may make a profitable
study of trees of the neighborhood.
Have each pupil select a tree, meas
ure it's height and girth, examine it's
bark and n of branching, and
it's leaves and their arrangement.
Drawings of the trees before and
after the leaves appear may be made
and the grain of the wood, the COM
mercial value of the tree, it's beauty
and strength described. Children of
the primary grades may SOW seeds in
little pots or boxes in time to exhibit
the plants on Arbor Day.

WRECKS DUE TO RUSH ORDERS.
Railroads Demand. Material to Make
Their Tracks Safer.

Chicago.-Imperfect steel rails,
hurriedly rushed out of the big mills
to meet the extraordinary demand for
material, are held responsible for the
multiplying train wrecks and the ap-
palling loss of life and enormous de-
struction of property. This state
ment was made by some of the most
prominent operating officials in the
United States. They are here at
tending the spring meeting of the
American Railway Association, the
most powerful organization of it's
kind in the railway world.
Aided by chemical experts and
noted m~etallurgists, a committee
composed of prominent operation
officials has been making a quiet in
vestigation which has convinced it's
members that the time has arrived
to make a demand on tho steel rail
manufacturers of the country for ma
terial which will make the operation
of American railways a great deal
safer.

ly SUCCESSFUL.
New York.-The press in this city and
throughout the world have recently drawn
attention to an antiseptic invisible ear
drum, resembling a miniature megaphone,
for deafness, head-noises and kindred affec,
tions. Not a day passes without the in
slant relief Of cases which have heretofore
found no help. Mr.. Leonard for more than
thirty years was a very deaf man, Instead
of giving up when specialists and various
devices had failed to aid him, he succeeded
in developing this marvellous little drum,
with which he can now hear distinctly.
He put the drums on the market four
weeks ago. Last week every pair had been
sold, so great has been the success of the
invention. Saturday he received another
consignment, which is being rapidly ex-
hausted, but before another week passes
he hopes to have an ample supply.
information is gladly given to all who
write to him at his Office, 1851 Broadway,
Suite 230, New York City, and most search
ing investigation welcomed. There is no
invisible device which can show the re-
suits of this invention.

Washington, D. c.. In a letter
President Roosevelt defended his

undesirable citizens" The letter
was in answer to a protest from the

the President said about Meyer and
Haywood, officers of the Western
Federation of Miners, who are to be
tried for the murder of Ex-Governor

Honore JaXon, of Chicago, chair

Hoboken, N. benedict Gimbel,

ment store proprietor, died in st.
Mary's Hospital here of wounds
which he inflicted upon himself after
his arrest in New York City on a SEN
;ational charge.
The wounds alone were not of such
d nature as to have necessarily
caused death. The surgeons who
fought to save Gimbel asserted that
it was the mans overwhelming shame
and a broken heart that ended the
most amazing tragedy ever recorded
in the police history of New York.
Gimbel cut his throat in the Palace
Hotel, Hoboken, with a broken water
pitcher. He had lost much blood by
the time he was found, lying uncon-
Scious on the bathroom floor, but it
was expected that he would recover.
Even opiates could not make him for
get his terrible disgrace, however,
and it became apparent that his men,
tai strain was slowly killing him.
Benedict Gimbel was only thirty
five years old. A week ago he was
one of the best known young bust
ness men in the country. He was re-
spected. He had many traits of char
acter, geniality, generosity, kindness,
which endeared him to his friends.
When he ran yer to New York his
reputation was without a stain, and
it would have been hard to find any
n with aught to say against him.
He was arrested in a cab in Gen.
trail Park. With him "a a sixteen
year-old boy, Ivor Clark, whose moth
er had made a complaint to the Dis
trict Attorney that Gimbel exercised
an evil. influence over her son. Gin
bel was overcome with fear at the
prospect of publicity following his
arrest.
He offered to Detective Reardon a
bride of $2100. To Assistant District
| Attorney Krotel he offered a bride of
$4,000 if he would drop the COM
plant.
He was out on $4,000 bail when he
cut his throat.

Regard AYOidable Mutilati0n
Of a Tree as a Crime

Atlanta, Gait will be we'll on
Arbor Day to teach children to plant
trees, and equally it will be we'll to
teach them-and adults, toto
care for them, to stop abusing them,
to regard avoidable mutilation of a
tree as a crime and to exercise a GER
tain vigilance in guarding them from
harm and in promoting their SYM
metrical and sturdy growth. In the
most favorable circumstances, life in
city streets is a struggle for trees.
If their life there is to be prolonged
and is to be made profitable as a
source of beauty, health and comfort,
they will need all the aid and protec-
ton we can give them.

MRS HENRY E

Owing to modern methods of living
not one VIC nan in a thousand APP
p~roaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this period
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous ir~ritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
OF ~sufocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine BUSH
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-timc household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD IT'S HOMIE
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, Bit
tors, laXatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary Or the FAM
lily doctor. Such remedies as picra,
which vas aloes and quassia, dis.
solved in apple brandy. Sometimes a
hop tonic. made Of whiskey, hops and
bitter barks. A score or more of pop
ular, homemade remedies were thus
compounded, the formulate for which
were passed along from house to
house. sometimes written, sometimes
verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-timc custom. In the begin
ming some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home = made remedies, would
take it up, improve it in many ways,
manufacture it on a large scale, adj
vertise it mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used yer a large area. LAT
TERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY
BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT
AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
Peruna was originally n of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, be-
fore it wa offered to the public for
sale. DIR. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manufac-
tory and furnished it to the general
drug trade.
Peruna is useful i'm a great many
