JAMES SHERMAN IS SICK
Family of Republican Nominee For
Vice President Summoned to
His Bedside In Cleveland.
Special to the Herald.


Utica, N Y, June 23.-The family
of Hon. James Sherman, nominee for
vice president on the republican tick
ct, has been summoned to Cleveland,
where the nominee is i'll. Early re-
ports indicated that the illness was of
a slight character, but it is now fear
ed that his condition is serious.
1t now develops that Congressman
Sherman is seriously ill with gall
stones. He was removed to the Lake
Side Hospital this morning. Sherman
has had numerous attacks previously
1t is impossible to determine at this
time whether or not his condition is
critical. He is resting easy today,
but has been carried to the hospital
to be ready for an operation if one
becomes necessary. The illness of
Sherman is no surprise. Secretary
Taft has been informed of the charac-
ter of his illness.
Drs. Carter and Allen held a con-
sultation when Sherman reached the
hospital, but gave out no statement
1t is believed the conditions are ia
vorable for the candidates recovery

SENDS OUT TELEGRAM
 TO ANNOUNCE SUICIDE

The pathetic story of how tele- graph operator for the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific ticked the warning of his own death to the train despatcher comes from San Bias, state of Sinaloa, Mexico.
 "The next train that passes will find me, is the message which the train despateher heard come ticking over the train wire from A. C.. Luckitt, a hermit operator, isolated at the lonely little station of Naranjoa. The despateher feared that Luckett intended to commit suicide, as he knew that the operator was suffering from melancholy because he believed he was stricken with an in. curable disease, hence he hastened 10 wire back cheering words of encourage ment.
 But all the persuasive clicking back and forth and words of encouragement from the wire chief proved of no avail, and with final message of "It's DO use, I'm all in; goodbye" the despond. ent operator closed his key and "cut out' forever. Then he picked up a Winchester rife and sent bullet through his brain: And the next train that passed found him dead.
 Luckett was a Spanish war veteran and had served in the Philippines. He was about thirty-1ve years of age.

HEARING OF BRIBERY
 DEFENDANTS CONTINUED

PRESCOTT, May l2.--Therc were no developments of any moment today in the alleged bribery cases. The attor. neys for the respective defendants ap- peared in court at the proper time, and their request that the cases should go over was granted.
 One of the incidents of the day was the number of prominent citizens who called upon Mir. Norris and strongly expressed their belief in his innocence, his friends being joined even by men who have fought him politically for years, and who likewise rendered him any assistance in the power. This un- expected exhibition of good will and confidence, it is said, touched Mir. Nor ris deeply and while his attorneys have assured him of his ultimate vindiea. tion, yet the fact of having both his friends and his political opponents rally around him, was more gratifying than any hope held out to him that his name would Dc cleared.
 The attorneys for both defendants are confident that they can knock out the indictments, claiming them to be do. fective. They will appear in court for. tined with authorities to prove their and should the court declare the indictments defective, tho ease will have to go before another grand jury.

Biliousness and constina.ion.

For years was troubled with bilious ness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me. lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin preparations and cathartics only made matters worse. I do not know where should have been today had I not tried Chamberlain s Stomach and Liver Tablets. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the di- gestive functions, purify the stomach, liver and blood, helping the system to do it's work naturally.--Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala.
