the Inflammation of his throat was
worse. DR.. Petacci, the Pope's regu-

into consultation. They admitted that
the illness, diagnosed as influenza,
might be persistent.
At noon IL was reported that the
POpe's condition showed a slight inn
provement and he was resting com
fortably. The greatest uneasiness OF
the doctors arises from the Pope $
advanced age, 75. Should the bron-
chial affection spread to the lungs, the
chances for the Pope's recovery would
be considered slight
Pope Plus has had several sick

Death of Mir. Welden

The news of the untimely death of Joseph E. Weldon, superintendent Of the by-product plant at Corey, the account of which appears elsewhere in this issue' came as a great shock to the many friends of the deceased and family, ana cast a gloom over the entire community His personal friends were stunned at the intelligence, and are al a loss to account for the unfortunate occurrence.
 It is given to but few men to have the high standing enjoyed by MT. Weldon or to have the universal respect that was accorded him. He enjoyed to a marked degree the confidence of his superiors in business, and had the genuine respect of his subordinates. His home life was ideal. and he lent his aid to the moral uplift of the community In which he lived. Of genial disposition, he was a great favorite with all his friends, and seemed happiest when he was contriout- ing to their pleasure.
 Having been exposed to the terrific heat of the past week, and run down by work and worry, it is the general opinion that his mind became temporarily unbalanced, resulting in the deplorable act which ended his useful life. To the bereaved and heart-broken widow and family, who are prostrated by the sudden and tragic death of their loved one, Is offered the tender and heartfelt sympathy of the en- fire community
