He has come and gone
and it was like unto the roaring cyclone. His
coming was with flash, crash and roar
that was deafening, while his going left a
stiffness that was cruelty painful. May, per-
haps, he will carry the state OF Washington,
but there are no indications at this time
justifying the prediction. The prevailing
presumption is that the worst he will be able
to do in the November election will be to de-
feat Taft and elect Wilson, which would please
Teddy next to himself being elected; not that
he loves Wilson more, but because he hates
Taft.

MISSING, FOUND AS WILD MAN
Veteran Banks When Trailed to Cave
After Ten Years.


Poughkeepsie. n. Y, Sept. 25.-
Half naked, his head and face cover
ed with hair, armed with club and
barking like a fox, Arthur Britton, 40
years old, was found today in a cave
in the Pawling Mountains. He was
committed TO the Hudson River State
Hospital, where physicians say he is
a wild man.
Britton has almost lost the ability
to speak. His mind is shattered, but
although he is thin he possesses the
strength of giant.
He lived in a hole in the rocks in
the side OF the mountain and II was
only after his brother Irving had coax
ed him for hours that he was induced
to come out Then officers bound him.
Britton's mind became affected
while he was serving in the Philip
pines during the Spanish-American
war. Soon after he returned to Paw
ling he began TO wander into the
woods and camp out.
Ten years ago his family lost trace
of him. Five years ago the mountain
GERS began to tell of seeing a wild
man. Britton's family heard the tale
and Irving investigated He trailed
him to mis- cave. carried food to him
and enlisted the aid of Justice Davis.
Deputy sheriffs were sent to the
cave with the brother today They
found the entrance three feet wide
and barricaded with boulders. A dug.
out further VI the mountainside was
Britton's winter home.
In his excitement Britton barked,
and kept it up all the way to the asy-
lum.

ILL FATE OF MILLER FAMILY
Four Members Of One Household
Met Violent Deaths.

The following, from the Rutland
Evening News of September will be
of interest to Bennington people for
the reason that the last victim of the
family tragedy, Harry B. Miller,
married a Bennington young woman
less than year previous to the acct
dent that completed an unusually sad
record:
by a curious freak of fate, Harry
B. Miller, the Rutland railroad fire.
man who died last night when he
was horribly mutiliated in the col
lision of freight train and a
switching engine at the Steward
switch, near Park street, was the
fourth member of his family to meet
a violent and almost instant death
and the series of fatalities by which
his father, brother and sister met
their deaths are strangely coinci-
dent.
twenty-five years ago, just bfeore
the birth of the victim of last nights
tragedy, his father, John Miller, an
employe in the mill of the Brandon
Italian Marble company in Brandon,
fell from a scaffold and was instant
ly killed. Two or three years later,
Harrys older brother, James Miller,
was drowned when boat, from
which he was fishing on Lake Dun
more, capsized, two other occupants
of the boat being saved. Five years
ago, a sister, Elizabeth, who was
bride of only a few days, was burn
ed to death when an oil stove, on
which she was cooking breakfast at
her home in 'Ilens Falls, N. Y, ex-
ploded and set fire to her clothing.
IN the death of Mr.. Miller last
night the life of the last child born
of both of his parents was ended al
though his mother, who died a ma
tural death, left sons born of her
second marriage.

ELECTRIC SLEEP "oIscoVEREo.r
German Doctor Holds Out Lure for
Those Suffering from insomnia

Berlin, Sept. 26.-Electric sleep,
which may be turned on and off at
will, is the alluring prospect offered
to people suffering from insomnia, by
Doctor Nagleschmidt, who describes
his invention for this purpose, in a
medical magazine.
He asserts he has devised a new
form of electric current which, when
applied to the base of the brain will
produce narcotic effect, able to be
maintained as long as is desired 1t
has been tried with the greatest sue
cess, and without any injurious eff
fects, on dogs and rabbits. Doctor
Nagelschmidt is convinced that it can
be equally applied to human beings.
The application of the current also
eliminates pain from any part of the
body.

Before the English occupation Of In

carried to the sea every.year 100000
dead bodies. 1t was then considered
by the Hindus that the happiest death
was one found in its waves, and all
plous Hindus who could do so were
carried to its banks and placed in its
waters to die. The decaying carcasses
along its banks were probably respon-
sible In no small degree for the pesti-
