ITALIANS HELD UP.
One Dead and Another Wounded
Series of Mysterious Attacks.

COLD WATER, Mich. July 3.-As a
climax to a series of mysterious hold
ups last night on the Lake Shore railway
tracks west Of the city. Libro Lombardi
was found dead today with nine cuts in
his throat and Cascanzo di Clio has two
bullets in his arm.
The hold ups. followed by the stabbing
and shooting. seem to have been entirely
among the members of the Italian col
ony employed here In the cement plant.
Two Americans were stopped during the
night and then permitted to proceed un-
molested Several Italians were held up,
robbed and left bound.
The fact that only one man was killed
and one wounded leads the police to think
that a personal motive was involved. A
mask of VOLTS hide and some shells were
found beside the track.

Thiefs Visit Resulted in Nice Margin
of Profit to Farmer.

If there are any more chicken
thieves like the one who entered his
hennery three weeks ago, Thomas In
graham of Park Mills, N. Y, will glad
ly furnish a chart of the grounds and
guarantee to tie up the dog. A few
mornings ago Mr.. Ingraham entered
the hennery, and to his amazement
found dozen fowls in place of the
ones that he had missed after the
visit of the thief He also found hang

which said: Mister Farmer, l was
wicked when l stole them chicks Of
you, but wringed their necks when I
hooked 'em from the roost, so could
not put 'em back. Am awful sorry l
done it, and will prove what / say by
bringing you other chickens which l
never stole. Them / took were com

such a conscience, the sinners resolu-

twice as much as the ones whose
necks were "wringed" when they
were hooked"

four ARE GUILTY
Jury in First Pennsylvania Cap
itol Conspiracy Case Bring
in Verdict.
OTHER CASES ARE PENDING
Convicted of Defrauding State in Fur.
nishing Building Which Cost $751;
100000 Instead of $4,000
900 as Estimated.

Harrisburg, Pa, Mar. 1.-THE jury
in the first of the capitol conspiracy
cases to be tried gave verdict Fri
day night of guilty as to every one OF
the four men who have been on trial
here for the last seven weeks after
six hours deliberation. There were
two ballots taken, but the jury did not
come into court until two hours after
reaching a conclusion.
The men found guilty are John II.
Sanderson, contractor; William. p. Sny-
der, former auditor-general; w. l..
Mathues, former state treasurer, and
James M. Shumaker, former superin-
tendent of public buildings and
grounds.
Motions for new trials were made in
each case.
Only Sanierson and Snyder were in
court when the verdict was given and
neither would talk. None of the coun-
sci for the defendants would say any
thing about the case. The states at
torney when questioned, said that they
were pleased with the result of the
hard work.
Maximum penalties for each defen-
dant in this case is two years impris'
onment and $1,000 fine.
The four men were convicted OF
defrauding the state in furnishing the
new capitol, which cost the state
$13,000,000 instead of $4000,000, the
figure at which the contract was esti-
mated.
The present case constituted one of
the longest jury trials in the history of
Pennsylvania courts, AMI it attracted
much attention throughout the coun.
try.
The prosecution of the alleged
frauds was the outcome of the political
upheaval in Pennsylvania in 1905
which resulted in the election of Will
liam H. Perry, q Democrat, as state
treasurer, in the fall of that year.
Berry threw open the books of the
state treasury and showed that the
cost of building the capitol was more
than three times the amount of the
contract
The case was laid before the attor-
ney general and indictments were
found against IA persons.
When the cases now pending against
the four persons who were convicted
are concluded the other defendants
will be heard. The state claims that
there are frauds amounting to nearly
five million dollars in the furnishings
of the capitol.

Kow TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which II May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test 1t Is
easy to tell if the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But sucn
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is test that will
tell the quality of the paint before 1t
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself back
into metallic lead. If, however, 1t Is
not genuine White Lead, or If it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
it, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the blow
pipe" or any other test. To make Ii
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything nee
essary for you to make the test, to-

MUSIC STUDENTS
Should Have Steady Nerves.

The nervous system of the musician
is often very sensitive and any habit
like coffee drinking may so upset the
nerves as to make regular and neces-
sary daily practise next to impossible.
Il practise from seven to eight hours
a day and study Harmony two hours, ="
writes a Mich. music student. Last
September l was so nervous l could
only practise few minutes at time,
and mother said would have to drop
my music for q year.
This was terribly discouraging as
l couldn't bear the thought of losing
a whole year of study. Becoming con-
WINGED that my nervousness was
caused largely by coffee, and seeing
Postum so highly spoken of, l de.
cided would test it for a while.
Mother followed the directions
carefully and l thought 1 had never
tasted such a delicious drink. We
drank Postum every morning instead
of coffee, and by November felt more
like myself than for years. and was
ready TO resume my music.
Il now practise as usual, do my
studying and when my days work is
finished l am not any more nervous
than when began. r
Il cannot too highly recommend
Postum to musicians who practise half
a day. My father is a physician and
recommends Postum to his patients.
Words cannot express my appreciation
for this most valuable health bever-
age. and experience has proven its
superiority over all others" There's

or Monday.

About half the members of the two

this afternoon and tonight in regard 10
their opinion, and those who would talk
at all seemed TO be confident in their
convictions that Gov. Swanson's nomi-
nee would be vlndicated and confirmed.
To-day's hearing Of witnesses served to
produce nothing of a spectacular nature
and nothing was adduced that had not
hitherto been heard.
Senator Noel, Of Lee. opened the argu-
ment for the prosecution, the committee
ruling that one hour and forty-five min

consumed thirty minutes. He spoke until
$50 o'clock. and at the end of his speech
the committee adjourned until o'clock.

is Saturday, and many members of the
