 Despite the protestations of his friends, the speaker later declared that he was absolutely able to travel and insisted upon leaving for Arkan- sas City, in company with Congress man Philip Campbell. Although re- peatedly urged to remain in Winfield until he was entirely recovered, Mr Cannon insisted that he was not a bit sick and he finally had his way.
 The intense heat had affected him and brought on the sudden sinkin spell Ice water and air partially revived him and he haltingly thanked the audience for listening for so great a length of time. His secretary de clared later that the attack was not serious and that the speaker was planning for an automobile ride later in the day.

 ING HUSBAND.
Message Flashed Around the World to Apprehend Dentist Called
 "Blue Beard"

Lodon, England-Scotland Yard is face to face with the most baffling international mystery of a decade an enigma deeper than the Charlton case-as the result of the discovery of human bones in the basement of the home of Dr. Hawley Crippin, American dentist, at 39 Hilldrop Cres- cent, North London, one of the pret- tiest of the city's suburbs.
 Although the first belief was that the remains were those of Belle FL more beautiful American music hall artist, who married the dentist some time ago, fresh testimony by neighbors led to the belief that an- other woman was the victim of what is, they say, according to the police, evidently daring murder.
 The police of every important city of the world have taken up the chase for the dentist, who disappeared after the first visit of the police to his home on June 9-three months or more after the notice of his wife's death abroad had been published.
 The mystery has been added to by the introduction of third figure Ethel Lenev, a stenographer. She is thought to be with him.
 The belief now held is that Grip pens relations with women will re- veal startling career as blue beard, according to the authorities.

 Howard Tunis, the inventor, who was motorman, broke a rib and one passenger broke a leg.
 The new-fangled car was whizzing along at the rate of 45 miles an hour and was apparently working smooth ly Suddenly there was a terrible jolt, then a sound of tearing and splintering overhead. The car stopped, toppled for an instant and then fell over on it's side The A passengers were flung among the debris at the bottom of the car and some of them were pinioned in the cigar-shaped ends of the long, thin monorail There were more than 10 women in the car at the time of the accident. That some of them were not killed in the whirling car is nothing short of a miracle.

 T use about two-thirds Postum and one-third milk and teaspoon of sugar, and put it into her bottle. If you could have seen her eyes sparkle and hear her say good" today when gave 1t to her, you would believe me that
 
 she likes it.
 If I was matron Of an infants home, every child would be raised on Postum. Many of my friends say, You are looking so wellr I reply, I am well: I drink Postum. I have no more trouble with constipation, and know that I owe my good health to God and Postum.' q am writing this letter because want to tell you how much good Postum has done us, but if you knew how I shrink from publicity, you would not publish this letter. at least not over my name" Read the little book.
