JURY HOPELESSLY
IN A DEADLOCK
impossible for Twelve Men to Reach
Verdict In Case Of State VS..
Gale Hewitt and George
Dunbar.
LAST BALLOT WAS 6 TO 6
The First was Seven to Five for Con-
yiction but the Vote Changed
But Little During Thirty
or More Ballots.

After a deliberation of twenty-five
hours, the twelve jurors who heard the
evidence and arguments in the case
OF the State VS.. Gale Hewitt and Geo.
Dunbar, charged with breaking and
entering the Golden Rule store on the
night Of August 80, failed to either
acquit or convict the defendants
The jury retired at 1880 o'clock
Saturday morning after trial which
was begun on Wednesday afternoon.
Shortly after Il: 80 o'clock Sunday af.
ternoon the report was received from
the jury chamber that the Jurors were
unable to reach verdict and were in
a hopeless deadlock, the vote being
six to six, and having varied only one
vote from that in the thirty or more
ballots that had been cast. Judge
Henry Bank, who agreed to receive
the verdict, and the attorneys inter-
ested in the case were called, and
gathered in the district court room at
1:45 o'clock. The report was receiv-
ed and the foreman of the grand jury
stated that there was no possibility
OF verdict being reached.
Little Change From First Vote.
TIT is said that the first ballot taken
was seven to five for conviction. Soon
the vote shifted slightly, and during
the remaining ballots most of the
counts were six to six. It is said
that the jurors spent a greater part
OF their time In celebrating on the
question: Should Liquor be Sold to
an Intoxicated PERSON. This ar
gu1nent was occasioned by the testi-
mony OF Henry Walton that the two
defendants we're in his saloon intoxi-
Gated for several hours early in the
evening of August 30.
The state was much surprised at
the failure of the jury to convict the
two men. The past record of one OF
the men was cited by the prosecutor
today in speaking of the case and ref.
erence also made to the circumstances
attending the arrest of the two men.
However, this was what one of the
jurors, who would never have con-
victed in a thousand years said: 81
don't understand how such case was
ever brought before the grand jury
and how the men were indicted No
one saw them enter the Golden Rule
store and nothing was stolen" The
fact that no goods were taken doesn't
enter into the case, however.

FAME AND FORTUNE OFFERED
Rich Prize for Man Who Discovers the Long-Sought Cure for
 Tuberculosis.

Dr. George w. Bloomer of Yale uni versity, acting as spokesman for an anonymous giver, has announced that a prize of $100,000 has been set aside, to be awarded to the first person any where in the world who discovers a cure for tuberculosis. The gift is un- conditional as to time, place, or kind of cure, the only real condition being that the new cure must have been in constant use at least five years, and that the promoter of the cure con- vince the Investigating board of the merits of his discovery.
 A large number of physicians have been working for years to perfect vac cine, or anti-toxin for tuberculosis, or to find some agent, such as tuberculin, which will assist in the cure of the dis ease. Thus far, the experiments have not furnished a product which will either absolutely cure or prevent con- sumption, or render the patient i'm mune against the disease. Many of these serums have proved effective in increasing the resistance of the pa tient and thus helping in the cure, but no scientist of repute to-day claims to have discovered a tuberculin which will produce cure without the con- bined aid of fresh air, rest and whole some food.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he suffered terribly with eczema. He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee.
 Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuti- cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. used them in the morning and that evening, before I put my boy to bed, l used them again and the improve ment even in those few hours was sur prising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured My son is now in his sev- enteenth year and he has never had return of the eczema
 T took care of a friends child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did eGaa my son and it has never re- turta& I would recommend the Cuti- curat,;emedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran, 1923 Columbia Ave, Phila- delphia, Pa, Oct. 20, 1909."

HAVE THE POTATOES CLEAN Most Important Point That Seems to Be All Too Frequently Over
 looked by Cook

Beginners in cookery wonder why the homely paddles of the dinner course so frequently turn black and look unappetizing without apparent cause.
 This is because they are boiled i'm mediately after peeling Potatoes, particularly the mid-season tubers which we have to contend with before the arrival of the new crop, should be peeled at least couple of hours be- fore they are to be cooked, and should be allowed to stand in a pan of cold water during that time.
 Scrub thoroughly before peeling, and rinse well afterward. Then let them stand in more fresh, cold water.
 The scum which is seen to rise on many pot of boiling potatoes is prin- cipally dust and dirt which has not been thoroughly washed away.
 A well-cooked - boiled or baked - potato is rara avis. One of the prin- cipal points of failure is not having them perfectly clean

The "Third Deuree."

The 1nfiiction of what Is commonly called the third degree" is reported to have been successful in eliciting confession in one of the latest mur- der cases in this vicinity. There will therefore be expressions of satisfac- tion at the prompt detection of a mur- derer and the probable avoidance of tedious and costly trial.
 There are, however, those who will wish to have 1t carefully considered to what extent this police process re- sembles torture. In old times 1t was a common practice to extort comics sfons by means of excruciating tor. ments. That Is forbidden in civilized countries to-day. Yet, according to the accounts given by those who prac- tice 1t, this third degree" is in many cases as agonizing az the rack or iron boot.
 The practice is regarded by some as in fact compelling men to testify against themselves, which Is repug- nant to our system of jurisprudence; nor does 1t matter whether the self inculpating testimony is secured un. der threats. under torture or through trickery.
 In theory. the third degree" busi- ness seems to be indefensible. In practice its results may now and then be gratifying, if desirable result is gratifying when attained through un- desirable means, but it Is obviously susceptible of abuse in an exceptional and peculiar degree.

piabolicaI Cruelty In the Method by Which Snake Skins Are
 Obtained.

Very few of the people who are the proud possessors of belts, pocket books, card cases and numerous other articles of snakeskin, realize the agony that the demand of civilization for iads has meant to the original owners of the material from which these articles are made, says con- tributor to Popular Mechanics.
 It is difficult to skin dead snake. and the skin is often spoiled in the covsss of the operation. while. on the othsf hand. 1t is simple matter to skta . live snake. and the skin thus geinsd Is worth much more.

any other time he would have been greeted by volley of rough jests at his tardiness, now the men had graver matters to consider.
 You'd better be gettin' ready to move out O this," remarked Jeff Strother. Since the winds changed the fires bearin' straight down on us."
 Oliver removed his hat, passing his self, but he did not reply.
 What in the thunder's the matter with you, man?" exclaimed the other Any one'd think you'nd the old wo- man'd had scrap instead O billin' and cooin' like turtle doves"
 Oliver winced, but ignored the in. ference.
 The fire does seem to be coming this way" he replied, glancing from the piles of shakes to the smoke drift ing between the trees.
 Oliver sat down on log apparently engaged in tightening his ax head. In reality he was watching Dave A3A ASSOAA W hoAl A0 Ado SduShI oA6hI oA | coming down the old disused trail from the Flat. His eyes rowing from Jeff and Red" to the approaching fig ure and back again, suddenly dilated and feeling of savage exultation f1amed up. At the rate Dave was walking he was almost certain to ar rive full in the track of the falling tree. The men had no thought of any one approaching by the old trail | choked and almost obliterated by un- derbrush. It was safe-no one would suspect him-he had only to stay his voice and hand. If the fire once reached the clearing and the shakes caught, everything would be swept away and Dave Erickson plotted out as though he never existed.
 The great pine, a giant among it's fellows, was tottering to its fall; yet so straight and perfect was it's boise that Jeff, as chief executioner, ad- vanced, mallet and wedge in hand to give the death blow. Oliver felt his clenched hands moisten as he meas ured with his eyes the space Dave would have to traverse before reach ing the fatal point The mufied stroke of the mallet rang out on the frosty air and he was conscious of nothing but the fear that his victim would be startled and realize his danger Dave walked evenly on, scarcely lifting his eyes, Then the tree swayed, trem- bling throughout its entire length, lighted itself, and stood motionless. while the birds among its branches sang on, forgetting their momentary alarm. In that second Mat Oliver ex- perienced sudden revulsion of feel ing; the blackness of the cowardly crime he would have added to his treachery was revealed to him and he started forward, shouting a hoarse warning that was taken up by the men, who saw only his danger. Dave ned back into the forest, but as Ol- iver turned to save himself, he seemed to hear again, Lal's words: q love Dave. Pm no wife of yours" He hes itated-glancing confusedly from side to side. In that second he lost his chance or-gave it up, and as the mon- ster plunged downward, falling with a crash reverberating from canyon to canyon, Mat Oliver disappeared in the chaos of broken and twisted branches marking It's death agony.

Among the patients in certain hos pital of Harrisburg there was recently one disposed to take a dark view of his chances for recovery.
 Cheer up, old man!" admonished the youthful medico attached to the ward wherein the patient lay. Your symptoms are identical with those of my own case four years ago. I was just as sick as you are. Look at me now!"
 The patient ran his eyes over the physicians stalwart frame. What doctor did you have?" he finally asked, feebly.-Illustrated Sunday Magazine.
