AUTO EXPERT IN PERIL

The great automobile industry
which is the marvel of the twentieth
century has been developed at ter
rife cost of human energy.
The well-known automobile engi-
neer of New York City, C. N. archer,
had a very trying experience which
he relates in a letter as follows: aAs
a result Of overwork in my profes-
sion my health became broken down
ia year ago. This grew worse and /
became very weak and nervous. Then
u began to take Vinol and row / am
strong and well again.
"Vinol has certainly worked a mir.
aele in my case. It is the greatest
body builder I have ever seen and
nothing equals it. You may publish
this for the benefit of every man and
woman who wants to know the way
back to health and strength"
There are many overworked men
and women in this town who ought TO
take Vinol right now and recover
their health and strength while they
can. Do not delay another day. We
guarantee Vinol to do you good and
give back your money II IT does not.

WILL FEATURE


Washington, May 2s.-lnvestiga-
lions of the steel trust. the sugar trust
and the expenditures and methods of
government departments will COM
prise all the activities of the house Of
Representatives during the early part
of the week. With the democratic
wool tariff bill promised for Friday
the house will hold no important ses-
sions until then; and investigating
committees will have opportunity to
push important inquiries that We're
started last week.
The steel trust Investigation. which
began with John W.. Gates on the
stand Saturday, will be resumed Tues
day with other important Witnesses.
Chairman L. H. Gary. of the United
States steel corporation board. being
among those summoned. The sugar
trust combination will meet Thurs
day to take up its work. The COM
mittces that are to investigate the
department OF justice and the depart
ment OF commerce and labor are to
meet tomorrow, while the committee
investigating the post Office depart
ment will continue It's sessions.
At the house end of the capitol
there will be no general rallying OF
democratic forces until Thursday,
when the wool tariff comes before the
full democratic caucus. This is ex-
pected to be the first note Of the, hard
fight that Is to follow on the revision
of the wool schedule
The wool bill is expected to be in
troduced In the house Friday and the
tariff debate will open during the fol-
lowing week. While there is much
free wool sentiment among the house
democrats. the party leaders are con-
fident that the revenue bill drafted by
the ways and means committee will
be ratified by the caucus.
The house has almost completed
the special program to which 1t linn
tied itself after President Taft had
called the extra session to consider
the Canadian reciprocity agreement,
and the senate has not acted upon he
first Legislative bill OF importance.
President Taft is reported hopeful
that majority Of the senate can be
relied now to adopt the Canadian
agreement as II came from the house
but when that hoped-for majority will
get an opportunity to assert itself still
is as uncertain as the length Of the
present session.

! NEGRO SUICIDES
Frank Kirby Took Laudanum
Saturday

Frank Kirby, a colored man well
known about town. committed suicide
Saturday evening al his home in Hayti
by swallowing several ounces OF
laudanum.
Kirby had been drinking heavily for
some time and he was practically a
nervous wreck. He swallowed the
poison about $3.50 o'clock and died.a
short time afterwards, In spite OF the
strenuous efforts Of his friends TO keep
him awake until physicians arrived.
DR.. Jordan was called In. but be was
dead before he arrived.
The deceased was about so years OF
age and leaves wife and several
children. He served a term In the
penitentiary for the murder OF stu
dent OF the university some twenty or
more years ago. The murder preyed
on his mind and this was perhaps
largely the cause OF the suicide.
