JOHN R. WALSH IS NO. 6O61
ENJOYS MANY LUxURIEs NOT
GIVEN TO OTHERS.
Is Given an Easy Task Of Clipping
"crimlnal News" from the
Newspapers.

Fort Leavenworth, Kan. - Even
behind the bars of the federal
prison at Fort Leavenworth the pow
erful influences that kept John r.
Walsh out of a cell for two years after
he was proved a felon have prevailed.
John R. Walsh. convict No. 6,S61. is
enjoying practically every luxury that
was enjoyed by Walsh, the possessor
of $40,000,000 and an income that
could satisfy the wishes of any hu-
man being.
From the moment that Walsh
passed the threshold of the great ma
tional penitentiary those influences
were evident. Walsh was not com.
PEELED to pose for a "rogue's gallery
picture. His measurements were not
taken for the Bertillion system. He
has not been forced to eat of the
coarse fare nor off the common wood
en- tables of the 996 other convicts.
But of greatest Importance. Walsh
has not and probably will not be com
PEELED to sleep in one of the iron
grated cells during all Of his five
years stay at the prison.
Even in the matter of labor, Walsh
has been peculiarly favored. While
other federal offenders, including near
ly score of former millionaires and
bankers, are handling brick and saw
ing stone, Walsh will be reading the
newspapers. His daily task will be
to handle newspapers and clip "crim
inal news" to be pasted into a booh
provided for the purpose.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about f1f-
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by a disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of its kind that l
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. l
knew dozen families that were so
affected.
"The doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. l am glad to
tell you that after few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.
Il may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
lilies have been users of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas
Hugh, 1850 West Huron ST., Chicago,

IL PERISH IN FACTORY FIRE
Girls Among Victims Of Blaze In
adeIphia-Scores Jump
from Windows.

Philadelphia.-The six-story build
ing at 200 and 2O2 Chancellor street,
In the heart Of the produce market
was destroyed by fire Wednesday
and dozen persons, most of them
young women, lost their lives.
About 20 men and girls are in hos
pitfalls suffering from burns and in
juries received in jumping out of win
dows. There were 100 men, women
and children employed by various
small firms in the building, the inter
Tor or which was burned.
The fire is said to have started on
the third floor, either from a slight ex
plosion or the blowing out Of a fuse
in an electric switchboard.
Those on that floor were thrown
into panic. The cry of fire was
spread When the excitement reached
the three upper floors a wild rush for
life ensued. Many of the girls were
young and became helpless in the
panic.
The workers on the first and second
floors and most of those on the third
escaped, but those in the upper por'
tion of the building were blocked at
the third floor, which was a mass of
flames.
The stairway was blocked with a
solid mass of persons fighting for
life. Some got through, others fell
unconscious on the stairs and others
rushed to the windows to jump.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.-Canadian
Pacific train No. Z, west-bound. due
here at AIS Friday evening, when
crossing the bridge at Spanish river,
near Espanola, 14O miles from here,
was thrown from the track, and 46
people killed and about 100 injured. 1t
is supposed the derailment was due to
spreading rails.
The accident evidently occurred as
the last cars were going over the
bridge, and the first-class coach and
diner were precipitated to the river
below.
News from the scene of the wreck
is hard to obtain, the railway COM
pany, who control the only telegraph
wire, not allowing much information
to trickle through. From the crew Of
a freight train which arrived here,
however, it is learned that the dead
are in the cars in the river, and also
in the second-class cars, which were
derailed after crossing the bridge, and
which afterwards caught fire, adding
to the horror of the accident. Eigh-
teen are said to have been burned in
the second-class coaches.
1t is supposed the engine was safely
across the danger point, and after the
accident took the news to Wildwood,
a distance Of three miles. A relief
train was at once dispatched from
Sudbury, which is AZ miles east of the
scene, with physicians and nurses. A
majority of the injured were taken to
Sudbury as soon as possible.
There is a fall of 35 feet to the wa
ter at the place where the accident
occurred, and the ice is very thick, so
that the names of those imprisoned in
the cars will not be learned until the
diver arrives there. A special train
with submarine diving outfit left here
for the scene. The Pullman car did
not go off the track, remaining safely
on the other side of the bridge.

INSOMNIA
Leads to Madness, If not Remedied In
Time.

Experiments satisfied me, some S
years ago." writes Topeka woman,
that coffee was the direct cause of the
insomnia from which l suffered ter
rihly, as we'll as the extreme nervous
ness and acute dyspepsia which made
life a most painful thing for me.
II had been coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all this
harm. But it was, and the time came
when l had to face the fact, and pro-
tect myself. therefore gave up coffee
abruptly and absolutely, and adopted
Postum as my hot drink at meals.
Il began to note improvement in my
condition very soon after | took on
Postum. The change proceeded grad
ually, but surely, and it was matter of
only a few weeks before I found my
self entirely relieved-the nervousness
passed away, my digestive apparatus
was restored to normal efficiency, and
began to sleep, restfully and peace
fully.
These happy conditions have con.
hnued during all of the s years, and
am safe in saying that owe them en-
tirely to Postum, for when ! began to
drink 1t I ceased to use medicine"

The victims head was crushed in,

trude, while one lung was cut out and
thrown on the floor. Evidence Of any
struggle was absent, the terribly mu-
tilated body being found just inside

the deceased lived. The rest Of the
house was closed Off and the other oc-
cupants were not molested by the muir
derer
A close survey of the house failed TO
reveal weapon or instrument Of mur-
der, which evidently was carried on.
Discovery of the crime was made by
Henry Branthauer, a milk man. Rob
berry is supposed to have been the mo-
tive, as ridge on the body would in
dicate she wore money belt, and
that in getting it off the murderer dis
embOWeled the victim.
Mrs. Mcintosh lost part of her for
tune through dishonest agent years
ago, since which time she has been
most eccentric and lived as a recluse.

arrested as suspects and under police
pressure st. Clair confessed he killed

Why does Great Britain buy Its
oatmeal of us2

Certainly it seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods Of
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re-
ports of Quaker Oats. This brand is
recognized as without rival in clean
liness and delicious favor. 81

1t is gratifying to learn from the
forestry authorities at Washington
that cutting Christmas trees is not a
menace to the timber lands. 1t is ex-
planned that though 100000 of these
trees are used every year in the
United States they represent a growth
that is not material to the well being
of the forests. In fact, it is said the
thinning out thus assured may be
beneficial to the remaining timber. So
a beautiful custom may continue to be
INDUCED in without any conscientious
scrEples.
