Grief Is an Illness.

Grief is an illness and must be
treated as such. Sorrow, grief and
the emotions caused by all great mis-.
fortunes should be regarded as akin
to acute physical maladies. Recent
medical observations show that the
physical results of depressing emo.
lions are similar to those caused by
bodily accidents, fatigue, chills, partial
starvation and loss of blood. Birds,
moles and dogs, which apparently die
in consequence of capture and from
conditions that correspond in human
beings to broken heart, were examined
after death as to the conditions OF
their internal organs. 1t was found
that the nutrition of the tissues had
been interfered with, and the sub.
stance proper Of various vital organs
had undergone decentralization

The Count Makes Q Trip From Fried

Berlin, Germany. - The airship
Zeppelin l., with Count Zeppelin and
seven companions aboard, assembled
at Friedrichshaven at 4 o'clock a.. m.
for a long distance flight, its object
i've point being Munich, about ITS
miles away
The airship had to make several
~deviations from the straight route be-
cause of a high wind, and these de-
layed its arrival somewhat. AS it ap-
peared over Munich 1t was received
with a salute from an army battery.
Prince Regent Luitpold, of Bavaria,
was prepared to receive 1t.
The airship, travelling at an aver-
age height of $50 yards, executed a
number of evolutions outside the city
over the Theresienwiese, ascending
and descending and deviating right
and left. An enormous crowd
watched manoeuvres. The weather
was cloudy and windy throughout.
Count Zeppelin vainly attempted
to land in the Oberwiesenfeld, a drill
ground in the outskirts of Munich.

its safety. When 1t was last see
from that city 1t was driving before
the wind and was apparently helpless.
At 3 o'clock p. M, however, Count
Zeppelin and party landed safely at
Meder Vielbach, neal Dingoling,
which is about sixty miles northeast
of Munich.
The landing greatly pleased Count
Zeppelin and his supporters, as 1t
proved, contrary to expectation, the
ability Of the airship to land without
danger in rough weather.
The airship was anchored for the
night with the intention to make an
other attempt to land at Munich. The
weather vas very rough and for a
time the airship vas endangered.
In expectation that the airship
might start the railway stations along
the route between Friedrichshaven
and Munich were, by special orders
from Berlin, kept lighted all night in
order to guide the ~aeronauts, and or
ders were also issued that the inhab-
itants of towns and villages were to
get notice by means of alarm bells of
the approach of the airship.

peared over Munich about 100 p. M,
and made a successful landing on the
parade ground outside the city. A
vast crowd had assembled to witness
the descent, which was made lightly

LAWYER MURDERED
IN A FAMOUS CASE
Found Shot to Death in Brother
Attorneys Office.
NEW TRAGEDY IN LAWSUIT
Dodge Land Case in Georgia Has
Been Productive of Assassina-
tions and Attempted Assassina-
tions-Threats Found on Body.

McRae, Ga.-That Pope Hill, a
prominent attorney of Macon, who
was found shot to death, is the third
victim of IN assassin in the Dodge
land cas- is the belief of police OFF,
GERS. A Coroner's jury, after a care
full examination, declared that Hill
was murdered by parties unknown"
Hill was found dead in the office
of an attorney, a bullet in his brain
and a revolver, with one chamber
discharged, grasped in the right hand.
The condition of the Office indicated
a desperate struggle. The stove was
upset, the coal scuttle was crushed.
and the furniture was broken. On
the floor lay an unfinished court mo-
ton in the Dodge case which Hill had
drafted and brought to McRae to file.
Hill arrived in McRae and went
into a friends law office to work on
the case. Later he went to the home
of the proprietor of a hardware store
and said he wanted a revolver, as he
had received some threatening let
ters. He was SO insistent that the
hardware man opened the store and
sold him to revolver which was found
clasped in his hand.
Hill returned to the law office and
was lfot again seen alive by friends.
When found Hill had been dead
several hours. The bullet had pierced
the right eye and entered the brain.
From bloodstains on the wall it seems
he probably was shot while standing.
A note which Hill received at Macon
was found on the body. 1t is believed
that this Is the note Hill referred to
when he bought the revolver. It is
written in a childish scrawl, and
reads:
Pope Hill, the next time you in
terfere without settlement, you will
be broke"
Hill, who was forty years old, was
a member of the law firm of Harris &
Harris. A widow and one child sur
yive him.

capes in the Dodge land suit begun

crime.
Shortly afterward Captain F. l..
