Mr.. John D. Bear,
Elkton, Va.
Dear Sir: The winter OF 1909 my
son Wilmer took deep cold. It set
tied on his breast and he was SO
hoarse he could scarcely talk. We
tried different kinds of cough medi
cines, but nothing did any good.
Some person told me to go to John
Bears and get bottle Of your Emul-
sion or Petroleum. After the first
dose or two it gave relief. 1 never
saw days he was all right. l don't
think it can be beat for the lungs and
whole system. You have the priv
lege OF using my name to this recon-
mendation for the good of others.
Yours, Very Truly,

GOLDEN, Colo, Dc. 23.-The jury
in the case of Mrs. Angelian Cara
none of Denver, who has been on
trial here charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Maria Laguardia, returned a
verdict this morning finding hel gull
ty of murder in the first degree and
fixed the punishment at imprison-
ment for life. The case was given
to the jury last night, and the first
ballot was taken after brief delib
GRAFTON. This morning two more bal
lots were taken, and an agreement
being reached on the third.
The verdict in the case against Mrs
Maria Angelina Garramone, charg-
ed with murder OF Mrs. Maria La
guardia, was reached early this morn
ing.
The case went to the jury at 8
O'Clock last night and for an hour the
jury deliberated on verdict and then
retired.
District Attorney Walter III. Nor
gan, made a strong plea for a verdict
OF murder in the first degree, the
only possible verdict, except acquit-
tai, and the penalty Of hanging. He
said the fact that the defendant was
woman should make no difference.
IF you find she committed this muir
der, then you should fix the. penalty
at hanging" he declared.
Attorney Edward L. Clover made a
strong plea for sympathy to the jury
declaring that his client had been
bounded by the Italians Of North Dem
yer because she had lost nearly S40,-
600 trusted to her care. This money
he said was lost in an honest en-
deavor to make money for her coun-
trymen.
Mrs. Garramone broke down yes
terday and ate no food, spending most
of the time in weeping. She ap-
peared to believe that she would be

REASON FOR VARIATION
IN WEATHER FOUND
7veatern press.

Western Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 2S.-That
the variation in the weather are
caused by short and irregular period
icity rays emanating from the sun
is now becoming an accepted theo-
~ among scientists as the result Of
observations extending over several
years, made by Prof. c. c. Abbott at
the Mt. Wilson and Nit Whitney OBJ
servatories following the fixing of
standard of measurement by Prof.
Abbott and an accurate. foreeasting
of the weather in long periods may
follow.
Heretofore it has been thought
that heat emanating from the sun
was a fixed quantity and changed
in intensity only when it came in
contact with the atmosphere of the
earth. Solar constant was the term
applied to the rays Of supposedly un-
changed temperature but the profess
sor now declares that the result OBJ
tanned at Mt. Wilson strongly con-
firms the impression gained by him
in 1908 that ''solar constant is rad
,caliy a variable, short and irregular,
velocity.

With both Houses of Congress ad-
