or three bugs bit their victim at the

ers as soon as the first infection had
nearly run its course until years af-
terward the victim would relapse in
to states of mild coma during which
he would sit for hours and dumbly
contemplate the rows and rows of
books which he had accumulated.
A cure has been discovered for the
disease, but it is so difficult to adj
minister that it's value is doubtful.
At the very start of the malady all
money should be taken away from
the patient, his pockets absolutely
emptied, bank account transferred,
and jewelry and articles which might
be turned into money carefully put
away. If this is done quickly and
thoroughly there is a chance that the
malady may be checked before it
runs it's course. Few men patients
are willing to submit to the treat
ment and practically no women.

The story Of how Charles w.

wires that set deals in motion in
Wall street and brought a stream of
gold to his cell door, is paralleled in
Georgia's own convict system by that
OF Wood Campbell, of Columbus,
who had been serving sentence for
manslaughter since 1907 until it was
recently terminated by commuta-
ton. During his Imprisonment he.
worked in a convict camp like other
Georgia convicts, but was 'trusty"
and found opportunity to make hun
dreds of dollars by dealing in cattle
and negotiating loans.
Campbell is the ex-convict who has
made charges against Hill G. Tuggle,
charging that the former prison in
spector defrauded him out Of 1896.

CLARK CLAIMS 500 CERTAIN
CARRIED MAJORITY OF STATES
IN CONTEST FOR DELEGATES.
If He Is Nominated VIII Resign the
Speakership. Some Important
Pre-COnVention Reports.


Pre-COnVention Reports,
WASHINGTON.-By far the most
important pre-convention story that
has broken out here became current
today, when it was rumored that
Champ Clark would resign the speak
er's place in the event of his nominal
ton at Baltimore and that Congress-
man Underwood would succeed him;
that Francis Burton Harrison of New
York, member of the House Ways
and Means Committee, would sue
coed Underwood as majority leader
in the House and that in order to
make the plan go New York's nine
ty votes in the convention would be
landed in the Clark column.
In addition to this it was said that
either Senator O'Gorman or Con-
gresham Redfeld of New York
would get second place on the ticket.
Redfield is an avowed candidate
for second place and is looked upon
as one of the strongest democrats in
the house because of his tariff views.
Senator O'Gorman while not going
as far as Redfield and is making no
open fight to land the vice presi-
dency, lis in receptive mood and
will take the nomination if it is ten
dered him.
Clark would resign the speakers
place If nominated because he would
not wish to take the chances on
placing himself in an embarrassing
position, and at the same time the
moral effect on the voters will be
better should he cut entirely loose
from congress until after the cleo
ton.
At gathering here of friends of
Speaker Clark from all parts of the
Union statement was issued de-
claring that he had carried a majorf-
ty of the states and would have 500
votes certain in the convention; that
he had carried majority of the
states and that his friends could con-
troll the convention; that the dele
gates would constitute themselves a
committee to aid Manager Dubois in
the Clark fight at Baltimore and
would place themselves at the dispos-
al of the Baltimore headquarters.
The Clark boosters have an air
of confidence that is not found
among the followers of the other
candidates.

fingers on his left hand, according
to the decision of jury in the city
court there.
Davis sued the company and the
city of Townsville for $25, The

pany only.
While going to his home last year
Davis had his hat knocked off by a
telephone wire which was hanging
down, catching hold of it, he found
it charged with electricity from the
city wires and his hand was so badly
burned that two fingers are bent
down and he claims he is incapaci-
tated from using the hand. The case

The Man or Woman Who Is Once Bit
ten Is Certain to Have a Long
and Serious Attack.
The installment microbe is quite
invisible to the naked eye, and like
the grip germ, he frequently endeav-
ors to make his home in a person
aHty where he is unwelcomed and
perishes speedily. In cases where he
does succeed in injecting the indi
vidual the attack may be merely a
mild one and speedily pass away, or
the extent of the infection be so
great that it becomes chronic and
lasts for years.
The man or woman who is bitten
by this little destroyer of happiness
and bank accounts may suddenly af
ter lifetime of prudence, decide up
on the purchase of a piano or type
writer on instruments. In so per
cent of such cases the victim will re-
cover and thre will be no recur-
renee after the first attack
If, however the presence of the
germ lis made manifest through the
buying of set of books on install

a long time, and a large percentage
of such cases are incurable. In a
ssnoughtless moment the individual
makes a first payment upon some set
