ELECTRICITY
FAILS TO KILL
When Used in the Dread
Electric Chair.
50 SAYS EMINENT PHYSICIAN
Thinks the Guillotine Surest
Method, and Would
Vote for II.

The attitude of Coroner George F.
Shrady son CT the NEST distiguished
surgeon III his time, toward TIE kill
ing OF criminals by electricity, is one
3tht 81 buld huve been taken hong BIZ
fore his time by men wsiosd opin-
ions would carry weight.
DR.. Shrady pronOunces tie present
methods Of executing murderers in
this and several either States as the
most brutal conceivable by human
mind He gees much further and
declares that a clause in the bill, Dr-
dering an immediate autopsy. is inter-
ded to make death sure!
That is to say, he asserts Tat tie
attendant surgeons who carve up the
still warm body are dhe real execu-
tioners.
Could any charge be more terrible?
1t is, in effect, a dreadful humiliaucn
to tie profession Of surgery to ccm-
pei some of its members to destroy
signs Of returning life by taking out
TIE hesrt and the brain of the sup
posed dead man within 10 minutes
Of tse removal lcf tie body from
TIE electric chair. Indeed, DR.. Shrady
makes hte definite charge that one
murderer, named by INN, was in a
fair way to revive and was given
a poisonous drug that finished aim.
Nothing more sta Ring has been ut
tired by a responsible man in many
yearss His w-rds would Indicate that

IN A BAD WAY"
Many a Hartford Readers Will
Feel Grateful for This
Information.
II your back gives out;

When your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in,
Your kidneys are "in bad way"
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Here is local evidence 10 prove it:
Harold Howard, living on Baker
street, Madisonville, KY, says: ITO
speak about the merits of Doan's Kid
ney Pills in such terms as they de-
serve is impossible. When one is an
noyed wiki attacks of lame back and
pains across the loins for fully two
years, he may be certain that it arises
from some disordered condition of the
kidneys, and when he finds a reme-
dy to relieve this in a short time, he
naturally becomes delighted with
the means employed. Doan's Kidney
Pills were the first remedy that gave
me permanent relief. l have appealed
to them on different occasions when
being annoyed with attacks of back
aches and other symptoms of kidney
trouble and have always received very
satisfactory results. l hold a high
opinion of DOan's Kidney Pills and
cannot recommend them too strongly"

Washington, Jan. 6.-Plans havei bee
outlined by thA Bureau Reconstruction
III the navy for great battle snip
Of $4,000 tons, designed 10 carry eight
fcurteen-inch guns. This fact became
known to-day through the making pub
lie OF testimony given before theHous
Committee on Naval affairs several
weeks ago by Rear Admiral Capps,
Chief Constructor No indication has
been given yet that such a battle
ship will be authorized, but that
there is in the minds of officials of
The department the possibility Of ask
ing for an appropriation for Ship
Of larger type than the Dreadnought
type is attracting attention among
members Of Congress.
Representative Foss, Illinois, Chair
man of the naval Affairs Committee
endeavored to learn whether any ap-
and would need an appropriation
year for The construction Of a larger
ship than has been built heretofore
should bte construction Of such a Ship
be authorized by Congress
He specified a ship of $4,000 tons,
and Admiral Capps replied that his
bureau has outlined plans for such a
ship and would n ed an appropriation
this year TO commence the work Of
construction. Upon being questioned
further, Admiral Caps said that if
twelve-inch guns should be adopted for
such a ship u of them could be install
I'D, but this would require al displace-
ment Of 10000 tons. ThA largest
vessels thus far authorized have only
ten twelve-inoh guns.
The speed of the new design Of
battle ship would be from 2O14 30
2OlA knots under trial conditions, ac-
cording to Admiral Capps. There
are four ships in course of cOnstruc-
ton of the 10000 ION class, which
are tie largest ever authorized for
the American navy.
The construction of eight submarine
torpedo boats of the larest improved
type, to cost net more than s4,000,000,
is provided for in a bill introduced
in the House to day by Representa-
tive Weeks, of Massachusetts. The

Two Section Crews Now at

THE END IS NOW IN SIGHT
Now Building Connecting Link
And Also Working on
Main Track.

That the officials OF the M. H. &
e. railroad intend TO complete the
new road at the earliest possible
moment has been known for some
time and move they made Wednes-
day will hasten the completion of
the line which means so much to
Madisonville and the Territory the
road trayerses.
Supervisor c. M. Henry, Of the
l. & N. r. R., informs the Hustler
that thirty section men have COM
menced track-laying north of Madi-
sonville and they will be kept there
until next fall.
One of the section crews will lay
the track between the main line Of
the L. & n. railroad TO the PrOvi-
denCe branch of the same company,
a distance OF about two miles. They
will finish this In short time and
afterwaId will assist in laying steel
on the>main line of the road.
The other crew will lay steel on
the main line and this work will be
continued until the men employed
by the promoters of the project meet
them. The two crews will he at
work on the road practically all sum
mer and until fall, by which time 1t
is believed trains will be running into
Madisonyille
Grading is progressing nicely on
the road and with favorable weather
conditions it will soon be finished
and ready for the track-layers. The
men employed in this work are max
ing such Roadway and indications
are that the grading will be done by
the latter part of spring.
The heaviest work win be done
at Norman, where a steam shovel
will be used TO facilitate matters.
The work all along the line is being
pushed and large force of men
will probably be added to those al
ready engaged in grading in a few
weehs.-Madisonvil Hustler.
