CANCER CAUSED SMITHS DEATH.
Teothache Was First Symptom Of
Millionaire's, Disease.

Kyoto, Japan, March 29.-James
Henry Smith. the wealthy New York
er who died here Wednesday while on
a wedding tour around the world, be-
gan to complain of toothache while
crossing the Indian ocean. On reach
ing Shanghai he consulted a doctor,
who relieved the pain somewhat.
When Mr.. Smith reached Nagasaki
the pain increased, but, after medical
treatment, he succeeded in reaching
Kobe, where another doctor was con-
suited. Mr. Smith then proceeded to
Kyoto by train, but he was so weak
when he reached this city that he
had to be carried to his hotel. He
underwent a surgical operation on the
affected gum during the afternoon of
March 25 and was progressing fairly
well, but suddenly grave symptoms
developed Wednesday, and he ex-
pired at nine o'clock in the evening,
from cancer, it is believed.

The ladies in charge of the Lecture
Course have been very fortunate in
securing Maud Ballington Booth for
the closing number April Sth.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Booth, with her husband, left the
Salvation Army several years ago and
organized the American Volunteers;
but at present she is devotipg herself
to the work of prison reform, and all
the money she earns in lecturing goes
to support her two Hope Halls-her
homes for paroled prisoners.
In her lecture, "Lights and
Shadows Of Prison Life, u Mrs. Booth
will tell how she founded Hope Halls,
and of her work among the prisoners.
Several OF our Cresoo people heard
Mrs. Booth In this lecture at Charles
City, last summer, and report that i,
was the greatest attraction of the
ChautauQua.
| Mrs. Booth is consi iered the ables
woman orator in America. She has
magnetism, very fine voice, great
earnestness, and subject In which
she is deeply interested. 1t is nj
wonder she receives the highest price
ever paid woman lecturer In thil
country. No one will be disappoint
ed in the last number of the lecture
course.

YOUR
LAWN MOWER

Does 1T Need Sharpening?
We have in operation one Of our
new Ideal" Lawnmower Sharpeners
that we would }tke to have you see in
operation before you have your Lawn
mower sharpened again. There is
nothing like it on the market. By its
use each blade is sharpened alike, the
bevel on the knives being kept at
the same degree all along the knife.
All high and low spots are taken OUT,
ard any degree OF clearance can be
given the blade so the lawnmower
will run and cut easier than when
new. Both cutting edges are ground.
More good Lawnmowers are spoiled
by bunglesome sharpening than by
the work they are intended to do.
Bring your Cranky Mowers TO
our Remedial Institute for
Disabled LaWnmoWers"
and have 'em properly doctored.
Price 75c and cure guaranteed.

WASHES OLD MEMS FEET.
Emperor Francis Joseph Performs
Maundy Thursday Ceremony.

Vienna, March 29.-Emperor Francis
Joseph Thursday performed the usual
Maundy Thursday foot-washing cere-
mony in the large hall of the Hofburg,
in the presence of a gathering of arch
dukes, diplomats and state officials.
Before washing the feet of the 12 aged
men the emperor, assisted by the arch.
dukes, personally served them with a
dinner of several courses. The cere.
mony was concluded with the bestowal
of silk purses, each containing 80 sill
yer pieces, which the emperor hung
around the necks of the old men.
Archduke Ludwig was the only mem.
ber of the imperial family absent. The
fact that he was not present was due
to his living at long distance from
the capital.
