Metaphors Of Millionaire Found No Re.

Farmer.

The millionaire accepted the farm

much scrambling gained a seat on top
of the hay.

Dreamily the millionaire smiled.

TOM [. JOHNSON SUCCUMBS
Four-Time Mayor of Cleveland Dies a,
His Home From Cirrhosis
of Liver.

Cleveland, O.-Tom L. Johnson, four
times mayor of Cleveland and former
congressman from this district, died
Monday night in his fifty-seventh year.
He had been near death for five
days. Up to week ago the former
mayor had insisted that he would get

or of Cleveland, but finally he saw his
hope was futile and, after bidding old
friends and former political associates
farewell, he resigned himself to death
That Mr.. Johnson sacrificed his life
for his principles is certain. He he'd
been ailing from cirrhosis of the liver
for years and was told by the physi
clans that he must quit active work
for awhile and take treatment, but he
was in the midst of his fight for three
cent fare and refused to stop. Finally,
beaten in his fifth fight for mayor, he
yielded to illness and went to New
York for treatment, but it was toe
late.

MICHAEL LINK DIES
GX-LEGIsLAToR FOUND LlFELESS
AT HOME IN SOUTHERN ILL
NoIS-LAID TO APOPLExY.
He HAD PREDICTED THE END
Admitted Receiving $1,000 From Lee
Wilson in Bathroom of Southern
Hotel, But Said He Did Not Know
II Was for His Vote.

ST. Louis.-Michael S. Link, former
member of the Illinois legislature
who was indicted by Chicago grand
jury for perjury and turned states
evidence in the investigation of the
election of United States Senator
William Lorimer, was discovered by
his wife early Monday morning dead
in bathtub in his home at Mitchell,
Ill.
1t was at first supposed that he had
committed suicide, but an examination
of the body showed that he had been
stricken with heart disease.
Link had been affected with heart
trouble since the strain of his indict-
ment by the Cook county grand jury
May 6, 1910. He worried over the
disgrace that attended his connection
with the bathroom" jackpot incident
at the Southern hotelfn St. Louis July
10. 1909.
Mr.. and Mrs. Link celebrated their
twentieth wedding anniversary April
2, and at that time the former lawma-
ker predicted he would die suddenly.
Mr.. Link was born near Gillespie,
H., April 13, 1858. ssw
Link is the second former member
of the Illinois legislature involved in
the Lorimer scandal to be overtaken
by death. The first was Charles S.
Luke of Nashville, whose name was
brought into the affair after his death.
Link always took the situation seri-
ously.
Link had been the comic figure in
the tragedy which was staged with the
trial of Representative Lee O'Neil
Browne. Link had been seen in st.
Louis at the time former Representa-
tive Charles A. White, the confessed
bribe taker, declares certain men
were called there by Representative
Robert E. Wilson to get their share of
the Forty-sixth general assembly
Jackpot The charge was that Link
had received $1,000 for his vote for
Lorimer. He was summoned to Chi
cago and put under grilling cross.
examination by States Attorney Way
man. He denied that he had received
any money and told the same story
before the grand jury.
To brighten him an indictment for
perjury was voted against him. Link
cried loudly that he wished to get
home to his wife and went before the
grand jury and confessed that he had
received the money. When the case
Of Browne came to trial, however,
Link declared on The witness stand
that he had never been asked to vote
for Lorimer, that 70 promise of money
had been made to him If he would so
vote and that 1t was paid TO him after
the fight was over without any expla-
nation from Browne.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills viii be sent free TO anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD 4
jefferson SITS, Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
IN need Of medical advice, do not fail TO
write Professor Munyon. Your eommuni-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case viii be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laXatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes elogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biiousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
I had my way would prohibit the sale
of ninetenths Of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
Regular size bottle, containing As pills,

60 MINERS TRAPPED
MEET DEATH IN COAL COL
LlERY FIRE NEAR
rHRooP, PA.
SMOKE SHUTS OFF ESCAPE
Flames Break Out In Engine House at
Foot of Shaft and Men and Boys
Are Imprisoned in Tunnel Where
They Suffocate.

Scranton, Pa.-Caught like rats In a
trap, without moments warning, so
men and boys persisted Friday In
coal mine fire in the Pancoast colliery
at Throop, three miles from this city.
Owing to the presence of volumes
of smoke and deadly gases, the res
cuers were unable to recover the
bodies until several hours after the
fire broke out.
The cause of the disaster was a fire
which broke out in the engine house
at the foot Of the shaft. An alarm
was sent to the miners and all the
men except those working in the
Dunmore vein were able to make
their way out Heavy, thick smoke
arising from the burning engine house
was swept back into the workings
toward the tunnel where so men were
at work. They were caught behind
| this heavy wall of smoke with no
| means OF escape left them.
AS the smoke drifted further back
| into the lower vein the men are be-
| lieVed to have been driven back to
| the end of the workings. Several
| times rescue parties made efforts to
| penetrate the wall of smoke close to
the engine house after the flames had
been extinguished, but the task was
! 100 dangerous and difficult The men
who tried to make progress through
the smoke came back choking and
with their eyes running water. The
/ carpenter force was hurriedly called
out and they with a small army of
volunteers started to work sending
all the available air into the lower
veins
When the news of the disaster had
spread to the city and surrounding
boroughs the crowd at the mouth of
the shaft multiplied many times and
the Throop police found it necessary
to swear in special deputies 10 aid
them in keeping order. When a move
was made to clear a passage from the
shaft to the mine office there was
considerable difficulty, on account of
the determination of the crowd to
stay close to the shaft.
Rescue parties from the govern
ment relief station at Wilkesbarre
and from the Lackawanna and Lehigh
Valley Coal companies were dis
patched to the Pancoast mine and
only for the use of perfected safety
devices BY these parties, the fate of
the entombsd men would not yet be
known.
Sanner, Ala.-An official statement
given out here Sunday says that 100
men were killed by Saturdays explo-
sion In the Banner coal mines.
They include two white and three
negro free men and Ill negro and IL
white convicts. But ten bodies have
been recovered. Relief work was in
terfered with by many rescuers being
overcome by black damp and having
to be dragged out.
The Banner mines are In the west
ern part of Jefferson county. They
are owned by the Pratt Consolidated
Coal company and are worked by
convicts, hired from the various coun-
ties through the state.
The explosion came at $40 a. m. 1t
is believed powder set fire to dust AS
the fan was destroyed, black damp
quickly spread over the mine.
