Five Years

DR.. Miles Heart Remedy

Before I began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy / had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over FIVE years. | had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. l had scarcely
taken a half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before I could see a
marked change in my condition.
When / had taken six bottles /

MRS. C. c. GORKEY,
Mortified, Va.
If there is fluttering or palpi-
tation it is an indication of
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. It is not neces-
sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak lust the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make a weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edv. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it does not bene-
ct he viii return your money.

FUND RAISED FOR
DEFEAT OF BILL
Secrets of Slot Machine Fight
Before Legislature Come
Out in Suits

That dealers in slot machines raised
fund to fight the passage of bill
adverse to the use of their grabbing
devices at the last session of the state
legislature was the insinuation made
yesterday in a suit filed in the county
clerks office and another submitted in
Judge Troutt's department of the SUI
perior court.
The first suit, now under submission
in Judge Troutt,s court was brought
on behalf of the August Hansen print
ing company to compel the payment of
printing bill incurred by the Mills
novelty company, the concern which
has the concessions for most of the
slot machines on the Pacific coast One
of the items on the bill. as specified in
the suit, is for printing election sup
plies for State Senator Richard j..
Welch during the last state campaign.
The suit filed yesterday seeks to col
lect from August Hansen the sum of
$1,000 said to be due the Mills novelty
company on promissory notes. In his
answer Hansen declared that the notes
were procured by threats and coercion
based on the assertion that his busi-
ness of dealing in slot machines would
be ruined if he did not contribute to a
fund that was being raised to fight
legislation adverse to slot machines
by the city of San Francisco and the
state of California. The answer of
Hansen also stated that M. A. Larkin.
the local manager for the Mills novelty
company, said to him: IF you don't
come up or dig up we will drive you
out of business"
At the time Hansen had so slot ma
chimes in operation. Later, according
to his answer. he was approached by
representatives of the Mills company
with the plea that plans were on foot
to have a bill passed by the legislature
forbidding the sale of slot machines
in this state. He was told that the
only way to defeat the bill was to
raise large sum of money to be spent
at Sacramento. On these grounds Han
sen has petitioned the court TO be re-
gieved from the payment of the promis
sorry notes for which the Mills novelty
company is suing.

FORT COLLINS. Colo. Nov. 1s.-
That the dread disease caused by the
hook worm can be cured for Is cents
was the statement made today in
chapel to the students of the Colorado
agricultural college by DR.. George H.
Glover. head of the veterinary depart
ment, in a lecture on the recently dis
covered parasite that has caused such
ravages in the southern states and the
West Indies.
"A dose of thymo1 followed by a dose
of salts is sufficient to take All the
germs out of the system" was the
statement of DIR. Glover.
The veterinarian declared there was
no danger of spread of the parasite
to the northern latitudes and that
therefore Colorado agricultural college
students were immune.
He said that while the remedy was
cheap and effective. there was constant
danger of reinfection to persons COM
ing in contact with the soil.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 19.-It is
stated in official circles that Chile was
willing to submit the Alsop case to
The Hague for arbitration, but that
the United States government asked
her to omit bringing before the arbiter
what Chile considered the most i'm
portant argument in defense of her
rights.
Alsop claimants have not presented
any petitions to the Chilean courts
since 1900, the date of the Washington
convention, and, therefore. it is argued
that 1t is not because of Chile's lack
of willingness that the claim has not
been examined under competent juris-
diction.
Great anxiety was felt here because
of the notification through Chilean
Minister Cruz at Washington that the
United States would close it's legation
at Santiago within a few days unless
the Chilean government consented to
an adjustment of the Alsop claims or

Will Pay Every Claim

According TO f. 5. Young, Bradburys
attorney, absolutely every CLAIM,
against Bradbury will be paid as fast
as the bills are presented. More than
this, Young is seeking out the i'm
prisoned millionaire's creditors in order
to settle with them as rapidly as pos
sible. He has asked Sheriff Taylor TO
aid him and has intrusted him with
large sum of money to pay such
Judgments and other obligations as
come under his official notice.
The reform of the eccentric million
aire, although a surprise to many, has
been expected by the authorities at
San Quentin for some time. Bradbury,
broken in health from his long fight
in the courts and the anxiety he suf-
fered while expecting a pardon during
his confinement in the cou~ts jail, feels
the hardsEips of convict fife- keenly,

ChiIe's Promise Broken

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--In 1874 the
Alsop company of New York and Con-
necticut advanced large sums of money
to the Bolivian government in exchange
for the right to operate valuable guano
deposits and other concessions in that
country.
The government contracted to return
a portion of the loan. from the receipt
of customs at the port of africa. before
the contract could be fulfilled, Bolivia
lost africa and the adjoining district
to Chile in war.
In 1886. following representations by
the American state department, Chile
agreed to assume the obligations of
Bolivia TO the Alsop company. She has
never. however, made good her prom
ise and the matter has been the subject
of diplomatic negotiations ever since.
The claim now amounts to more than
$1,000 900.

Pores Over Bible

| POrcS over DIDie
In the hours of recreation, when the
other men in stripes are pacing rest
lessly back and forth. smoking ciga-
rettes, playing handball or talking to-
gether in knots of two or three, the
detected old man sits in corner of
the yard reading his bible. The pride
and stubborn determination to fight to
the last, tLat formerly marked his fea-
lures. are gene In their place has
come an expression of repentance, not
untingcd with charity. Little acts of
kindness to other convicts recently
have proved the existence of this last
quality.
| Not long ago he gave another convict
his allotment of tobacco. In another
instance a convict found some difficulty
in securing the necessary SIS which
some one must place to "a prisoner s
credit when he is seeking parole. At
the last moment the money was pro-
duced, and it is rumored at the prison
that Bradburys attorneys, at his sug-
geston, donated the required sum.
| Labor in the jute mill has also tenn
pered Bradbury's former arrogant ma
ture, but illness and the bible are the
main causes of the change. He realizes
that old age is upon him and desires
to stand square with the world before
the end arrives.
Devoted Wife Sick
At his home in Corte MADEIRA, the
lights of which he can see from
his cell on San Quentin point, the
wife of the aged millionaire is
also i'll. Throughout his trial and
sojourn in the county jail the faithful
woman was at his side whenever pos
sible, and whatever Bradbury's faults
may have been, her affection for him
is extreme Warden Hoyle expert
enced several unpleasant scenes with
her at San Quentin, where her visits
to her husband were too frequent to
accord with the prison discipline But
her tears and pleadings usually won
her admittance.
Now that Bradbury is i'll, she, too,
has broken down. Even James McCue
has expressed his forgiveness. Brad
bury is doing everything to make his
peace with the world and hopes that
he will survive his sentence to begin
the last years of his life on new lines
of religious endeavor.
