MR.. CLEVELAND'S ILLNESS

Extreme and unreasonable heat dur
ing the past few days have had an I'm
favorable effect on former President
Cleveland, who is confined to his bed
at Lakewood. \. J. Several sinking
spells have been experienced within
the past few days. and if the excessive
humidity continues il is feared it's eff
fects will result faally.
Clevelands condition has been seri.
Gus for the past two months and while
the true nature of his ailment has
been kept from the public. it is known
beyond all doubt that the former pres.
ident is suffering from cancer of the
stomach, which ailment is aggravat
ed by heat and makes his recovery
almost impossible.
II had been hoped that Cleveland
would rally sufficiently to allow his
removal to Tamworth, n. H.. where
he might escape the heat of this sec
ton of the country and prolong his
life.
Report has II that Mr.. Cleveland sui
fered a third sinking spell Wednesday
evening and was with difficulty re
vived Another report which is given
credence. is that Cleveland's condition
is critical and that his family has
been notified that the end may be eX
pected at any moment.

THE JURY AFTER AN ALL NIGHT
SESSION AcoUiT YOUNG
CHADWICK.
MOTHER TO BE TRIED
A Case Which Attracted Statewide
Attention Ends in a Full Acquittal.

At o'clock Friday morning, after 10
hours OF deliberation. the jury In the
trial of Eugene Chadwick, aged p, on
the charge OF numbering his father,
Charles f. Chadwick, of Atlanta, re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. Through
the night three and finally two men
had fought hard for verdict of guilty
and II was sleepy and haggard group
or men which filed into court this
morning TO announce their decision.
On the first ballot the verdict stood
three for conviction and nine for ac-
quittal. For several hours the nine
argued with the minority and about
midnight one was brought over to
their side. IL was not until early this
morning that the other two We're per-
su.led TO agree with the majority.
Mrs. Chadwick was in court and
mother and son fell into each others
arms and wept The court room was
crowded, nearly everybody who had
been watching the trial sitting up
through the night
Prosecutor Stearns declares that de
spite the acquittal OF young Chadwick,
Mrs. Chadwick must go on trial on the
charge of murder also.
The crime for which Eugene Chad
wick was tried was the murder of his
father from ambush September "a,
1907. Chadwick, mill owner. was
shot in lonely road five miles south
of here and close to his home. The
prosecution based its case on the sons
threats TO Kill him if he injured his
mother; tracks of shoes supposed TO
be those of the youths near the scene
OF the murder. and plea OF guilty
made by Chadwick in justice court.

~ CHICKENS AND LIVESTOCK
COULD TALK.
What Farmer Thinks Would Happen
II They Were Endowed
with Speech.

"Most OF the faults we find with
poultry keeping and stock raising
would disappear II our chickens,
horses, cows, hogs. sheep and other
animals could talk" remarked farm
er to his wife after reading about a
wonderfully clever talking parrot.
Suppose, for instance" continued
the farmer. that when our hens
stopped laying, at a time when we
think they ought to lay, that | went TO
Mrs. Hen and said: What's the matter
with you. why have you stopped lay
ing?' Why, she could confide in me
and | would at once know what to do
for her. Same way with our horses,
cows, hogs and sheep. If they could
tell us what allied them, we could do
whole lot more for them than we do
now"
Does the suggestion sound funny2
Perhaps so-but IL only goes to show
the necessity Of knowing what really
ails our poultry and live stock when
they refuse to eat or to do their work
The fine books published by the
II
called THE Voice of the Horse, THE
Voice of Poultry" THE Voice of the
Hog" The Voice of Cattle" THE
Voice of Sheep"
The reason is that If Poultry and
Livestock could talk, they would say
exactly what is said in these splendid
books published by the Pratt Food
Company.
These books are really the voice Of
the creatures discussed, and heart
to heart talk with a speech-gifted fowl
or animal would not produce more val
liable information than is found in
the five books in question.
