SHOCK TOO GREAT
Mrs. Julia Greene Never Re-
covered from Death of
Son in Flood.
LOCAL RESIDENT

Mrs. Julia \. Greene, widow Of Clark
Feb. 13. For more than thirteen years
Mrs. Greene was a resident of Rich
mond. Here she reared her family, two
sons and two daughters, and here by
her genuine goodness and attractive
personality she endeared herself to
many who will hear of her death with
sincere regret.
The shock of the loss of her son,
Edwin C. Greene in the Galveston
flood completely shattered her health
and she was brought very sick pa
tient to Our Savior's Hospital, Jack
sonville, Ills, in May, 1901. Having
recovered her health, she determined
TO rent a cottage near the hospital so
as to be near the Sisters, and especial
~ to enjoy frequent visits from her
daughter. who is a Sister of the Holy
Cross. There she spent seven years.
surrounded by every comfort, though
her true heart was sometimes lonely
and yearned for her old Richmond
friends.
Mrs. Greene was a convert to the
Catholic church, a consistent and de-
vout christian, and she died fortified
by all the sacraments and consultations
of her holy faith. She is survived by
a son, Charles H. Greene of Chickasha,
Oklahoma, daughter. Sister NJ. Eva
rista. Directress of ST. Mary's School,
Davenport Iowa. and a step-daughter,
Mrs. Aaron Hill of this city.

COUNTRY PRODUCE.
SHOT

Ralph Markley. the twelve year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton Markley,
residing about two miles from the city
on the Middleboro pike, is lying at the
point Of death at his home as the re-
suit of accidentally shooting himself
with a revolver yesterday afternoon.
The boy noticed the weapon upon
his return from school. and with child
ISL curiosity instinctively picked it up
and examined it. The lads finger
came in touch with the trigger and the
revolver was discharged, the bullet
passing entirely through the boys body
just above the heart. The injury did
not cause Young Markley to lose con-
sciousness and with remarkable nerve
he walked through several rooms on
~ lying down at his mothers request.
1t is feared that a hemorrhage of
the lungs will set in and the boys con-
dition is very precarious, according to
the attending physician.

James Maher was arrested last eve
ming by Patrolman Nogelsong at the
corner of Tenth and Main streets for
intoxication. An effort was made to
walk the man to police headQuar-
tiers. but owing to Makers gigantic
size and the load he was carrying. the
task proved to be more difficult
proposition than was at first antici-
pated. 1t was necessary to call the
wagon at Eighth and Main streets. In
the city court this morning Maher was
given severe lecture by Mayor Zim-
norman and released with the prom
Use that the next time he was arrested
for intoxication he would get a six
months sentence in the county Jail.

Special from Norfolk News:

Special from Norfolk News:
Brother John heals not by Osteo-
pathy, by hypnotism, nor by Divine
Healing but by a system of natural
science in combination with the most
true and reliable methods of the age.
He is the man that cures the sick
because he understands the nature
and circumstance which
brings the disease. about His discov-
cries are those made from personal
experience and from long continued
practice in his profession. An article
published in the September number
Of the North American Medical Jour-
nal says: Brother John is a man who
is eminently scientific in his profess
sion, a man far beyond the average
doctor, a man who is capable, OF
otherwise he could not be successful"
Brother John, as practicing physician,
is successful and is one of the great
est diagnosticians of chronic diseases
of the age. Is it not reasonable to
believe that if a man is successful in
one branch of science that he is GER
.tainly capable of being successful in
other branches? Analyze these mat
ters yourself. Do not allow your
thoughts and opinions to be influence
ed by others who are not interested.
One does not know how to appreciate
health until they have lost 1t. Brother
John studied his profession both at
home and abroad, and after a thor
ough and painstaking investigation,
has succeeded in curing the diseases
of his speciality when other physicians
have failed.
Why not? Some of these people
were blind, some were lame, some
deaf, some paralytic, scarcely able to
move, others afflicted with Bright's
disease, heart disease, consumption,
cancer, others with kidney troubles,
dyspepsia, insomnia, and thousands
of other symptoms of those dreadful
maladies. 1t is claimed by his friends
that he can tell the disease of a pa
tient without asking him a question.
This perhaps is true, for since he is
so learned in his profession and so
experienced in treating diseases, why
shouldn't he know the exact cause
and true reasons Of symptoms which
produce disease? For years he has
been visiting professionally the larg-
est cities of the United States. His
opinions are quickly made, and if a

So We know that he has cured a

he treats that he fails to cure. We

that IS her only fear, permit me to
inform her that she need have no
worries about that. She must have
good looks, that is all, and the more

AT the opening rehearsals of a

manager lined up the chorus girls
IN various groups for the business
OF a certain musical number.

in the songs of the prima donnas. Alas!
