Villas is CRITICAL
Former Member of Cleveland
Cabinet May Never
Recover.
HIS WIFE FINDS HIM ILL.

Madison, Wis. July 21.~William F.
Villas, former United States senator
- twice member of President Cleve-
l. : cabinet, lies unconscious at his
/ = here suffering from cerebral
hemorrhage. Mrs. Villas found her
husband in bed breathing heavily
yesterday. He has given no word or
sign other than occasionally to utter
O. half ineligible Yes" or NO" and
it Is not known whether these words
were uttered in consciousness or not.
DR.. Fox the family physician who
was in constant attendance all day
says that Mr. Villas is not in imme-
date danger, but it can not be pre-
dicted with assurance that he will re-
cover. His trouble, cerebral hemor-
yhage. often terminates fatally, and
everything depends on the strength of
the patient. Mr. Villas is GS years old.
When Grover Cleveland was inau-
gurated in 1885 he chose Villas as
postmaster general, and of that orig
inaI cabinet, Colonel Villas is the sole
survivor. In 1888 when l.. @. c. La
mar was promoted from the interior
department to the supreme court Col
onel was elevated tot the department
of the interior.
Colonel Villas is reputed to be a mil
lionaire; has large railroad interests,
and has made much money through
land and lumber deals.

Of Death of Greenfield
Young Men.
CORONER INVESTIGATING.

Greenfield, Ind, July 21.-Wm.
Morris, fireman on the engine which
struck and killed Ernest Harper and
David B. Hall on last Thursday night,
came from Columbus, o., Monday to
give their testimony before the Cor
Oner.
The adjourned session Of the Cor
oner's court met and Mr.. Gindley, the
engineer was examined. He said that
he did not know they had struck any
thing until he had arrived at 1ndianap.
oils when they discovered blood and
piece of buggy shaft on the pilot OF
the engine. Then he said he remem-
bered that cylinder cock on the front
of the engine had blown or been
knocked off shortly after they left
Philadelphia and supposed that it was
at or near this point that the collision
had occurred. The fact that the trair
| was heavy and running at the rate OF
sixty miles an hour made it impos
sibre to notice the conclusion. The
superintendent of the company wa:
notified and he sent messages tha
were received by the section foremer
who found the dead bodies.
The story of the engineer was cor
roborated by the fireman in every par
ticular. Both men live at Columbus
O. They were accompanied by an at
torney and road official.

Eight-Inch Patent Tension
Spring Shears

The Shears being distributed by the
Palladium and Sun-Telegram are man.
ufactured of the very highest grade
steel, perfectly tempered and heavily
nickel plated on a highly polished
surface. The patent tension spring
takes up all the wear on the rivet so
that the cutting edges will never wear
dull. A simple turn of the little
thumb screw will adjust the blades to
cut anything from the thinnest and
most delicate fabric to the heaviest
material Every woman who has had
the exasperating and trying exper-
fence of attempting to cut with a dull
pair of shears, will appreciate the val
ne of this new invention.

The Americus Hospital Association
has received its charter from the
courts and is now legally empowered
to conduct a training school for nurs-

school feature an important adjunct
to the regular work of caring for the
sick for which the hospital was pri-
marily established. The hospital is
now in better shape than ever before

CHAS. MILLER Is DEAD
AT HOME IN PARIS

A cablegram received in Americus
yesterday morning announced the
sudden death of Mr. Charles Miller in
Paris, where he has resided for a
number of years. The announcement
was a shock to his friends here, as
letters received here recently made
no reference to i'll health. Mr. Miller
married Miss Alice Porter, an Ameri-
Gus lady, while his brother, Edward
Miller, married Miss Laura Brown, al
so of Americus. The two brothers
were associated in business. one To-
Gated in Paris and the other in Brook
lyn. Many friends here will extend
sympathy to Mrs. Miller in her great
bereavement. The remains will doubt
less be brought back to his former
home for interment.
