Hill, two years ago, when the former was a candi- date for reelection and was opposed by the latter. Hawley, although a resident of the same county as Con- gressman Hill. came out for the other man and did yeoman service, his 1n- f1uence probably turning enough votes to Brandegea to give him the nomination in the Republican caucus. According to the story referred to, the sheriff, when he saw B. return to private life staring him in the face, told the man for whom he had work ed so hard two years before that his 1911. defeat was due to the activity of those of his own party whom he had opposed for Brandegee in 1909 and that 1t was in order that some thing be done to atone for what he of the New London senator"

RUTH DRESSEL'S
 FATHER IS DEAD OF BROKEN HEART
|" White Slave '' Victim s Parent Dies, Grieving Over
 Daughters Fate
SHE IS ONLY DAUGHTER
Fathers Health Undermin- ed By Mental Strain Fol lowing Daughters Dis grace.
Special to the Farmer.)

Brooklyn, Jan. 2S.-Henry Dressel, & painter and decorator of 232 Moi fatt street, Brooklyn, is dead of a broken heart, the result of an esca- pade in which his daughter, Ruth, aged IS, figured in Bridgeport, Conn. last fall.
 Ruth was lured to New York by John R. Carroll, a song writer and musician, and thence to Bridgeport, where she was lodged in the notor- Bank street. Both were arrested when Rhth's mother. gaining infor- nation as to their whereabouts through Ruth's writing to friends of the family in Brooklyn, came to Bridgeport and engaged the services of patrolmen to find the pair.
 DressePs daughter was sent to the Home of the Good Shepherd, Hart ford, where she will remain until she is 21. Her testimony against Car roll resulted in his being sentenced to prison as a white shaver, for from to years, and testimony given by her in the trial of Frank Herman led the court to impose upon him a fine of $100 and jail sentence of six months.
 Dressel held responsible position as decorator of one of the largest uOCSlS III 6IOOklyn. HIS QauRnrer S flight last September, her arrest Sept 29, and the disgrace she suffered in consequence, wrought grievously up- on the father. His health steadily failed him.
 Last week he was stricken with a cold. It was not regarded as alarm ing, in period when such an ail- ment was so common. But Dres- sePs health was completely under mined by the mental strain he suf- fered in consequence of the loss of his daughter.
 Ruth was the only daughter, the apple of the fathers eye. He. miss ed her pretty face and pleasant com panionship, for despite her infatua- ton for Carroll which covered 6 weeks before they fled, her father had a wealth of sympathy and kind liness in his sore heart.
 Unable to withstand the slight cold, the fathers condition became so grievous that within a few days his death occurred. Pneumonia was giv- en as the cause of death. His fam fly say 1t was 8 broken heart

SALE OF OPIUM
 IS NO CRIME. Therefore Hong Is Guilty of Merely Technical Offense and Escapes with Small
 Fine
 Judge Wilder Recommends Law Regulating and Re- stricting the Sale of Pop py Drug.

It is no crime to sell opium. under the present statutes. provided the sell CT labels his stuff with its right name, and sells good opium. This is the purport of a decision made by Judge Frank L. Wilder of the city court. in the case of the State vs. Charles Hong. the wealthy Chinese merchant of State and Water streets. whose place was raided two weeks ago to- night. Hong has been convicted and fined for keeping an opium den. But besides keeping such a place, he was charged as well with selling opium in violation of the Pure Food law.
 Former Judge William H. Comley. Jr. appeared for Hong. Judge Will der found that in the case of Hong the violation was merely technical in that he had neglected to place the word opium upon the jars in which he sold the stuff. He imposed a nominal fine of $5 for each of two offences. Judge Comley maintains the Pure Food law does not cover the situation. was allowed under bonds of $1OO.
 After discussing the statutes regu- latfng the sale of opium, cocaine. aaco- hol morphine. etc. Judge Wilder in his decision says:
 "It is found that the contents of the
 
 on the days alleged. and contained extracts of opium stronger than the opium itself In view of the fact that this is the first prosecution under this statute and in view of the fact that if the defendant had written the name of the article, purchased upon the packages, there could have been no prosecution. the minimum penalty ought to be imposed!
 "The present act is not broad enough and nowhere prevents the sale of any of these drugs providing the exact quantity, name and kind Is written upon the package. An act could cas- fly be passed by the Legislature pre- venting the sale of opium except un- der certain restrictions as has been done in many other States. and mak- in his possession opium for the pur- pose of selling. it or offering it for sale to be used by smokers

scARY NEWS FOR SINNERS

A Seventh-Day ADVENTIST preacher
named Russell, 1--WE don't know for
certain that it is Pastor Russell, but
it reads like him), says the second
coming of Christ and the end of the
world are presaged by the war be-
tween Italy and Turkey.
1.-The Adventists have maintained for
years." said Rev. Russell, that the re-
fusal of the great powers to help the
Turk and his final expulsion from
Europe and the resultant scramble for
his territory by the nations, would be
the signal for the second appearance
Of Christ upon the earth"
Rev. Russell cntinuei by saying
that this belief is based upon the BIZ
ble's prophesy concerning the second
coming of Christ.
Asked what preparation the Adj
ventists would make in regard to their
anticipation that Christ would shortly
return to the earth, Rev. Russell said
there was no set program. There can
be none," he said. I'VE must all be
prepared to meet Him. That is a mat
ter between each man or woman and
God"

ocALA sYMpArHuzEs WITH ITALY

A number of leading newspapers.
among them the Banner, condemn
Ita1y's attack on Turkey. and say the
entire world disapproves of her un-
provoked attack on a weaker nation.
Almost everyone the Star reporter
has spoken to on the subject in Ocala,
approves Of ItaIy's action and wishes
her success. And we'll bet either. or
both, of our esteemed contemporaries,
the Ocala Banner and the New York
World, that if they will make can
vass of their readers they will find
that Turkey has not one friend to
Ita1y's five.
The Turk has nothing in Europe.
Asia or Africa but what he has taken
away from weaker nation. In the
memorable law of circumstances, he
can't complain if a stronger nation
drives him out. His elimination from
Europe and Africa will remove a very
large bone OF contention and promote
the chances of world peace, and there
fore the success of Italy is thing to
be desired.
