At Crockettsville. in Breathitt coun-
ty, Ky. May 4. occurred another one
of those bloody tragedies for which
that region has been noted many years
during the progress Of the Hargis-
Cockrill feud. Ex-Sheriff Callahan Of
the Hargls faction while in his own
store was MORALLY stabbed by his
brother-in-law. John Spicer, and a mo-
ment later Spicer was slain by the son
of Callahan. On the same day In Jack
son Daniel White. Hargis man, shot
and killed Jim Fugate Of the Cockril
side in street duel. The son Of Cal
lahan, Wilson, after shooting Spicer
gave himself up to the authorities, but
was released on bail. The death Of
Callahan brings joy to the widow Of
James Marcum, as she charged Hargis
and Callahan with instigating the MUIR
der of her husband by Curtis Jet.
Graft Scandal In Baltimore.
Mayor Mahool of Baltimore has re-
moved two commissioners for the
opening of streets, Republican and a
Democrat. after an inquiry had proved
the charge of Contractor Robertson
that $1,000 had been paid to ex-Con-
gresham Rusk as the go between.
The demand Of the commissioners for
$4,000 on a $4,000 contract was ex-
pocad opJ tho In fornopt uoc tho prac
ident of the Maryland Paving CON-
pany. The payment of the cash to
Rusk was witnessed by detectives con-
cealed in a bookcase. Rusk is chair
man of the Democratic city commit
tee. but has rendered his resignation.
He has been at the head of the CON-
mittee for six years and was elected
to congress three times.
Bank Cashier Short $46s, 1000.
William Montgomery, cashier of the
Allegheny National bank of Pittsburg
and former friend and adviser of the
late Senator Quay, has been arrested
on the charge of having embezzled
S46S,000 of the banks funds, that
amount being missed, but a much
larger shortage being suspected. The
shortage was exposed by statements of
James Young and Henry Reiber, for
mer officials of the Farmers Deposit
bank, now in prison for extensive loot
ing of the latter institution. They say
that large part Of the loot went as
loans to Montgomery to cover up his
shortage. The fact that the Allegheny
National has long been the headquar-
ters of the state Republican machine
financially gives exceptional impor-
lance of this procedure.

New Light on Pneumonia.
Before the Chicago Medical associa-
new method of treating pneumonia,
which he says effects q sure cure inside
twenty-four hours. He asserted that
the seat of the trouble in pneumonia
cases is not in the lungs, as generally
supposed, but in the bony framework
at the top Of the nose. The germ or
pneumococcus is harmless except when
pent up in cell Of this kind. Then it
acts like an explosive, expands and
poisons the blood. From these cells
the disease works rapidly down to the
lungs, but the fuel still comes from the
germ cells in the nose. So says DR..
Fish, and he adds that the remedy is
simply to draw the pus from the nose
cells. BY doing so he has cured one of
the worst cases of pneumonia.

Last Months Failures.
Commercial failures in the United
States during the month Of April, ac-
|cording to the report issued by r. G..
Dun & Co., were 1900 in number and
|S20,316,4GS of defaulted Indebtedness.
Omitting the speculative failures, it is
apparent that the manufacturing liza
bilities are smaller than in any month
since last July. But as compared with
April, 1907, the increase in failures is
very large.

In this century shields may zee more
form an important part of the equip
ment OF an army. Steel shields, three
millimeters In thickness, and about $50
square inches In area, have been de-
vised, which afford complete protec.
ton against bullets fired from the ser.
vice rife at range Of 400 yards. The
small size OF the shield. which weighs
only seven pounds, requires that the
soldier shall lie prone on the ground
n order TO be sheltered. Each shield
has "a loophole for the rifle, and studs
at the sides. SO that series of them
can be linked into continuous screen.
The idea Is that by the use OF such
shields the necessity OF dirsing
trenches may be avoided.

from this they could not go down or
