A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other
organs to a remarkable degree and
do a tremendous amount of work in
removing the poisons and waste mat
ter from the system by altering the
blood.
During the winter months especial i.
ly, when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food, thereby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than Nature intended Evidence of

who were pitching away with picks

Regarding the trouble Mrs. Nelli
went on to explain that about five

Blanchard household or a servant
fired bullet into a flock of chickens

was allowed to run into the Neil
ward and some more chickens were
slaughtered. Later on the Blanchards,

a hedge that is located between the
houses. The bush was trimmed TO
such an. extent as to later cause II
to wither and subsequently die.

mind. Mrs. Neill few years ago first
showed she was grieved when she

BILLY! Louise." Then they both
fell into each others arms.
Billy" is William S. Murphy, for
merly a bank cashier in the First
National Bank at Pedrickstown. He
mysteriously disappeared about two
months ago at the same time Miss
Mary Ann Archer, daughter of Ped
rickstown's only Methodist clergy
man, took her departure from the
staid little Jersey village.
Louise" is the wife Murphy left
behind him in Pedrickstown while he
was idling time away as gentle
man of leisure with Mary Ann in
Albany, Rochester and other cities
in New York. And during this happy
reunion between man and wife Mary
Ann looked on with tear-stained eyes,
while Murphy now unmindful of her
presence told his wife "she was the
only woman he ever loved"
1t all happened in the study of DR..
G.. p. Dougherty. pastor of st. Paul's
M. e. Church, 9S1 Broad street. He
was the means of reuniting the es-
tranged couple and sending the way
ward girl home to her parents, who
have since her departure removed
from Pedrickstcwn.
Murphy and Miss Archer left town
about two months ago. According
to his story they lived in hotels in
Rochester Albany, Syracuse and
Buffalo, fitting from town to town
as their fancy wandered.
Soon, however. Mary Ann became
tired of her butterfly existence and
longed for home. A week ago she
wrote her father pitifpl appeal for
forgiveness.
MIR. Archer referred the matter to
DR.. Dougherty, of this city, who in
duced the couple to call on him in
Newark. They arrived here last
Wednesday and yesterday called on
the clergyman.
Murphy telegraphed for his wife to
come to 9S1 Broad street and they
met there this morning like young
lovers who had been separated,
She forgave and forgot and he
promised to be a better man. They
Joined hands and went home. Miss
Archer, downcast, detected and cast
aside, slowly wended her way to
the station and went home alone.

Constitutional Provisions.
Mr. Miller's declaration was based
on the fact that the Constitution of
the United States throws around
Congressman and Senators immunity
from arrest or from testifying in
trials while in service in Congress-
Mr.. Hughes was so engaged yesterday
at tbs opening of the special session
of Congress in Washington, and, ac-

Ter his presence in court was de-
manded just at this time to embar-

tiillig, who pointed out that when
the notice of service was given Sen
ator Hughes a week ago last Satur-
day he had told the latter that he
could appear for the examination any
day last week before the opening of
the special session.
This, Mr.. Gillig told Justice Leh-
man, Senator Hughes refused to do,
stating that he wanted the entire
matter to go off until after the end

Suffrage Lost
in Michigan

DETROIT, Mich, April S.-With
yesterdays election returns far from
complete today, woman suffrage
seemed to have been decidedly beaten.
Nearly all of the counties which voted
against it last fall, when it lost out
by a margin of 100, were reporting an
increasing vote against 1t and several
counties which favored it in the fall
election were turning in greatly re-
duced majorities.
The city of Detroit voted over
whelmingly in favor of municipal
ownership of street railways. The
Republican State ticket seemed to
have been elected, with but one ex-
ception. the supreme justices. The
constitutional amendments providing
initiative and referendum on both
constitutional and legislative meas
ures, and the recall of State officers,
all carried easily. Partial returns
from ten of the twelve counties vot-
ing on the local option question
showed an even break between the
saloon and the anti-saloon forces.

Auto Bandits
Blow Up Bank

ROME, Ca, April S.-Automobile
bandits blew up the Bank of Com
merce. at Summerville, Ga. early to-
day, robbing the safe of $4,000 in cash,
valuable securities and several hun
dred dollars in stamps.
The robbers escaped in waiting
motorcar after q battle with Deputy
Sheriff Alexander and Stephen Gar
rett. business man, in which Alex
ander and Garrett were badly
wounded.
Practically the entire population of
the little town of $500 people was
aroused by the explosion of the
charge of dynamite used in opening
the safe. Alexander and Garrett met
the burglars coming from the bank
building with their loot. They opened
fire. and in the pistol duel that fol-
lowed both were shot.
A posse was organized to pursue
the robbers and kept the trail as far
as Gore, Ca, where it was lost. The
search is being continued over the
hills of North Georgia.

verbal scrap between Miller and

verbal scrap between Miller and
Gillig.
"There has been no effort to serve
Senator Hughes with notice of trial
in this case until just as his duties
call him to Washington said Mr..
Miller.
II beg your pardon" interjected
Mr.. Gillig, you have no means of
knowing how many times we have
tried to serve Senator Hughes"
Miller then referred to the fact that
in a case he cited even the arrest OF
senator had not prevented the SER
geant- of the Senate of tax
ing him from a Pennsylvania sherift,
but Justice Lehman cut him short
with, 1--WE are not trying to arrest
Senator Hughes. That does not enter
| into this case at all.
Could BE Forced, Judge Says.
Justice Lehman then remarked that
! the possibility of arrest would not re-
suit in a vacation of the order de-
manding Hughes,s presence for the
purpose of testifying in advance OF
the regular trial. but that other
grounds would have to be shown. At
this point the justice rather signlfl-
cantly said, IF Senator Hughes had
been in New York today and had
been wanted here to testify he could
be forced to come"
In arguing against the vacation OF
| the order and after pointing out that
| Senator Hughes was the only person
who could enlighten the plaintiff as
- 80 fJ1 f,f 6n
Gillfg stated: "In my office | have
checks showing the payment of $500
in cash for services in trying to serve
Senator Hughes"
Mr.. Miller jumped to his feet an
grily as Gillig tried to continue and
shouted. II object to Mr.. Gillig trying
to build up a reputation at the eX-
pense of Senator Hughes" Justice
Lehman raped for order, but it only
lasted a moment as Mr.. Miller was
again on his feet objecting strenuous
ly when Gillig referred to Hughes as
zone of the promoters of the land
schemes" MIR. Hughes did not have
anything to do with any promoting,
declared Mr.. Miller, "he is not in
terested personally in the matter. He
only represents clients of his"
After listening to long arguments
by both sides Justice Lehman took
the question of compelling Mr.. Hughes
to appear and be examined by Mr..
! Gillig under advisement. On Satur-
day Justice Charles L. Guy granted
a motion for a ten-day stay in the
matter, and unless Justice Lehman
decides against Mr.. Gillig and up
holds the contention of Mr.. Miller
that it is not necessary for the de-
PENDANT to give more information
than that given in the answer to the
original complaint, Senator Hughes
will be compelled to appear in court
on or before April II and answer
the questions Mr.. Gillig desires to
ask him.
IT would be at that time and not
before, according to the very appar.
ent way Justice Lehman looked a.
the matter today, that Senator
Hughes and his counsel could invoke
the immunity granted senators II
order to avoid giving the testimony
wanted by Mr.. Gillig. Just what
questions Mr.. Gillig desires to ask
Senator Hughes he will not divulge
but intimates that some surprises art
in store for interested parties wher
he does get a chance to ask them.
