Father was comfortable and very
happy until Friday night, Jan. 10Th.
when the severe pain began which
lasted until the end. He was conscious
until noon, Saturday, even suggesting
things we might do for him. The doc

for the rapid change by peritonitis,
which was indicated by rise in tempera-
ture and other symptoms. He never re-
gained consciousness, and died at seven

NOT HERE TO BE MISERABLE
We All Have Our Troubles but Should
Learn to Keep Them In
Background.

/ Z
II there is anything that is irritat-
ing 1t is the way that some people
talk Of their troubles, as If they were
"a kind Of treat--not cheerfully, but
with kind of gloomy Joy; in word
they are resigned. 1t is only mighty
big humbugs that will say they are
thankful for troubles. We may even
tually live to see that they were right
and best for US, but at the time it is
sheer hypocrisy to waggle our heads
solemnly and say: Happiness is a
snare, anyhow; 1t is foolish for any
one to expect happiness In this griz-
ely old world"
People who talk that way don't de-
serve happiness. We weren't put here
to be miserable. The idea that life
is for suffering and not enjoyment is
FAST being shelved. II the Lord ap-
proved of lamentations and tears, he
would not have put so much In the
world to make us hopeful and happy.
There is nothing more common than
trouble. We all have our troubles.
but 1t is the wise ones of earth that
keep their burdens In the background.
1t is SO common and cheap and selfish
to be continually parading ones griefs
and disappointments. Whatever our
lot, we should all learn the wisdom Of
that helpful little prayer: Help me
to win, If win | may; but If / may not
win, make me good Mary

SHERMAN
IS VERY ILL MAN"

UTICA. n. Y. oct. 2S.-Alarming
rumors regarding the condition of
Vice President sherman influenced
his physician. DR.. +. N. Peck, to is-
sue the following bulletin today
"Vice- President Sherman is a very
ill man, although the reports in cir
culation during the night were greatly
exaggerated. Mr. Sherman was sit
ting up yesterday and he walked
about the house from room to room.
His condition is bad, it Is true, but
| do not apprehend any immediate
crisis"
Close friends of Mr.. Sherman admit
that his condition is very serious and
that he has had sinking spells during
the summer.
II was stated today that he was
slightly improved, but DIR. Peck, new
ertheless, was in frequent telephone
consultation with Or, Theodore G.
Janeway, of New York.
The Vice President realizes the pre-
carious nature of his illness, and
some time ago agreed not to under
take any campaign work or other
duties that would tax his strength.

fused permission to see his wife,
with whom he has not been living.
Roehr's body was found this fore
noon hanging to a tree in the woods
about u quarter of a mile from the
scene OF the tragedy. II is supposed
that the assassin, fearing summary
action at the hands of a posse, COM
mitted suicide.
Mrs. Roehr nd her baby escaped
by hiding for three hours. News of
the triple tragedy reached here this
forenoon.
About year and half ago Roehr
married Otis daughter. They did
not get along peaceably and Mrs.
Roehr some time ago took her g.
months-old baby and returned TO her
fathers house, just across the road.
She then started suit for divorce.

He entered the house in search of
his wife. She had heard him and had
taken her baby and hidden in a
chimney cupboard, whore she stayed
for three hours. A witness to the
crime was the 4-year-old adopted son
of OFT, who was at the milk shed.
Thinking the entire family had been
killed, he went upstairs and hid in
bed, where he was found later.

SLAIN AUTO THIEF

Accompanied by a representative
from Rice's garage. in schenectady,
n. Y. Detective Sergeant b. S. Van
Deusen, of that place, called at police
headquarters today and identified sew
eral automoblle fixtures which had
been stolen in Schenectady.
The stuff was part of the loot cap
tured by the local police from oliver
Wood. who was shot and killed by
Patrolman Edward Mclaughlin. of
the First precinct, while trying to
make his escape last Wednesday, and
from Clarence Tallmans, who made
confession to the police after his
arrest concerning their operations.

the case, should receive the remuner-
alton.
In the meantime no one has
called at Holes morgue to claim

inhabitants In Bucket Brigade
Had Been Unable to
Check Flames.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 2S.-Flre
for time early today threatened to
wipe out the whole town of East
Milestone, a town of 5000 inhabitants,
about eight miles from this place.
Without the slightest fire protec-
ton the residents formed themselves
into bucket brigades in an effort to
prevent the spread OF the flames
while help was being summoned from
this city and Somerville. which is
about the same distance away.
BY the time. the apparatus from
these places arrived, however, the
wrecking crew of the Pennsylvania
railroad, which had been hustled TO
the scene in locomotives had stopped
the spread of the flames.
Using one of the locomotives as a
pumping engine, water was drawn
from the canal and thrown into the
burning buildings. They prevented a
further spread of the flames, but were
unable to save the buildings, which
had already caught fire.
Three buildings of the Harmer Rub

were totally destroyed by the flames.
The damage to property Is estimated
at about s125,000 No one was in

Fire Starts in Mill Room.
The fire started from some un-
known cause in the mill-room of the

siderable headway before it was dis
covered by James Maher. a watch
man at the Pennsylvania railroad
station, who gave the alarm by
sounding a locomotive whistle. This
aroused Charles Mathewson, the
watchman in the plant who aroused
the inhabitants by footing the whistle
at the plant.
But for this alarm II is thought
that many would have been caught
in the buildings which were after
wards burned to the ground.
Just as soon as the fire was dis
covered a call was sent for the rail
road wrecking crew. which is sta
toned short distance away. Hurry
calls were also dispatched to this
city and Sofnerville for help

both places. but because of the dis
