ATTORNEY A. s. BASKET.

| DALLAS, Tex, June 8.-Attor-
lney A. s. Basket has made a rec
ord as a technicality lawyer. He
has saved Burrill Oates neck six
times and thinks he can do it
lagain. Holly Vann, white man,
who was indicted for murder with
Oates, who is as black as the ace
of spades, had only one trial. He
was hanged.
Six times it has been shown
that murder was committed. The
first verdict of guilty was set
aside because the jury had been
summoned irregularly; the second
verdict of guilty was set aside be-
cause of errors" in the judges
charge; the third verdict of guilty
was set aside because the Judge
erred" Then the governor ap-
pointed a special judge (presum-
ably one who wouldn't err and
the fourth verdict of guilty was
set aside because the governor
erred" in appointing an errorless
Judge. The fifth jury disagreed,
and an angry mob tried to storm
1.-THE county jail. So the case was
transferred to another county and
the sixth trial resulted in a YER
dict of guilty, but in writing out
the verdict the foreman left out
the words Gin the first degree, .
and this verdict has been set aside
and a seventh trial ordered.
| The repeated reversals of jury
lverdicts on hair-splitting techni-
calities is fast making medicine
for the recall of judges in Dallas.

If for but one purpose alone, be-
cause it instantly stops the pain of
a burn or scald, and prevents bis
tering unless the case is VERY
severe, so much so that the skin

Benetol is the ONLY prepara-
ton that will KILL germs and is
not a poison. 1t will positively
eradicate germ infection, hence is
first aid in ptomaine poisoning,
danger of lockjaw, dog bites and
all blood poisons; is the ONLY
douche that will kill germs, and
the ONLY germ killer that can be
used to kill the disease germs in
the stomach or intestinal tract.
Common sense will tell you that
this means that it will stop many
forms of infectious diseases that

The Worcester (Mass.) Evening Ga

Jan. l, 1912. With the new corporation
in force, it is planned to increase the
number of departments, though for the
present no more room will be added.
The business of the store has grown
to such an extent that Mr. Flint believes
the time has arrived when he needs as

for one man to have entire charge of.
In addition to this, Mr.. Flint has many
other outside interests that require con-

OBITUARY..
MRS. CLYDE w. HURLBURT.

MRS. CLYDE w. HURLBURT.
In the departure of Mrs. Hurlburt
her family and friends have met with
an unspeakable loss. She passed away
at her home in Middlebury November
%, and was buried in Cornwall Novem-
Der 25. She was born in johnson, YER
mont, November 9, 1872, and her
maiden name was Maude Andrews
Story. She was the third in a family
of five children and was a sister greatly
beloved. Educated in the schools of
her native place, at the age of eighteen
she was called to fill a position in the
Vermont Industrial school at Nergennes
and continued service in that institution
for fourteen years. In 1903 she was
married to Mr.. Clyde w. Hurburt of
Cornwall, also an official of the school.
In 1906, Mr.. and Mrs. Hurlburt removed
to Middebury where they have since
resided.
Mrs. Hurlburt joined the church in
johnson at an early age; later she was
a member both of the Vergennes Bap-
fist church and the Memorial Baptist
church of Middlebury. In all of these
churches she found plenty of work to do
and put her whole heart and soul into
it. She was not only student OF
missions but missionary in the truest
sense, and every enterprise of her de-
nomination received her cordial support.
Mrs. Hurlburt was a typical Vermont
woman. She priced worth and cared
little for display. She loved the high
est and best things in life, and to these
devoted her time and strength. She
was calm, self-contained and had to an
unusual degree the power of sell con-
troll. Efficiency was stamped upon all
that she said and did.
While not in the best of health her
last sickness was unforeseen by those
who were nearest to her, and the sud-
denness and severity of it came as a
thunderbolt out of clear sky. Amidst
her suffering she maintained her Gus
tomary calmness and composure, and
when informed that her end was near,
was not in the least disturbed. AS
daughter, sister and wife her contribu-
ton to the happiness and well-being OF
her home was very great and never was
a departure more sincerely mourned.
To her husband her loss is heart break
ing. To all who knew her, her memory
is exceedingly precious and beautiful
OF her it can be truthfully said
"Life's race well run,
Lies work well done
Lies crown well won:
Now cometh rest.
