POPES CONDITION
REPORTED SERIOUS
Gout Is Complicated by Acute At
tack Of Nephritis.
FATIGUE BRINGS ON RELAPSE
PontiH oisrsgsnds Doctors Orders
and Holds an Audience, Following
Which, He Fsints From
Weakness.

Rome, April 9.-Reports Of the
pope's condition has caused the great
est alarm here.
This alarm was greatly intensified
last evening when a report that he
was dying spread throughout the city.
The latest news, however, shows that
this rumor was unfounded, although
his holiness is undoubtedly a very
sick man.
Nothing definite is known regarding
the nature of his disease as no bulle-
tins have been issued, but II is be-
lieyed the pope's old ailment, the
govt, is now complicated by an acute
attack Of nephritis.
Present Crisis Is Serious.
Hopes are once more being ex-
pressed of the pontiff's ability to
weather even the present crisis, which
is regarded as the most dangerous he
has yet experienced SD
tn news that he had had a relapse
first leaked out when Doctor Marchia-
faya, his private physician, was sud
denly summoned late at night to the
pontiff's bedside, where he remained
for two hours In consultation with
Doctor Amici, whose turn II now is to
sleep inside the Vatican SO that he
may be ready for any sudden emer.
gency.
II 10 learned that the relapse was
the result OF Tuesdays audience when
the pope, disregarding his physicians
orders. over-fatigued himself When
the audiences we're over the pope
again declined to rest, but went in
stead to his library where he worked
for some time.
Pontlff is Faint.
Later his holiness complained OF
weakness and before his personal at.
tendant could help him to his couch,
he tainted.
He rallied slowly. but half an hour
later tainted again. Doctor Amici then
decided to send for Doctor march,.
sfava and also to notify the pope's sis
tiers.
A strict watch was kept over the
pope by Father Prozdecimo, the Vati-
can pharmacist, who had orders to
call Doctor Amici Immediately upon
noticing the slightest change in the
pulse or temperature of the patient.
Much Secrecy Displayed.
The most ominous secrecy is being
maintained about the pontiff's condi-
ton, and unusual measures are taken
to keep out idlers and curiosity seek.
ers from the Vatican. From the
bronze doors to the threshold of the
papal apartments number of extra
guards are stationed, and the very few
persons who are admitted to the pre-
cincts we're mostly prelates of high
rank or Iaymen calling on very impor-
tant business.
Among the first to arrive we're the
pope's two sisters, Angola and Maria
Sarto, and their niece Gilda.
But before they were admitted to
the sick room Doctor Amici warned
them not to talk to the patient. Thus
the meeting was very pathetic, the
four only exchanging glances with the
pope, smiling to reassure them. When
they left the apartment the ladies had
tears in their eyes.

EXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE.

Whitesburg. Ky.-Real estate
values throughout the Eastern Ken
lucky coal fields especially the
Boone's Fork and Elkhorn Creek
sections of this county, have reach
ed the skyline limit owing to the
great strides of development taking
place. In the Letcher circuit court
here remarkable condemnation
suit is now in progress. About five
years ago the Northern Coal and
Coke Co., bought of John Bentley
a small tract of land lying about
the present heart of jenkins, put
then practically wilderness. Bent
ley reserved one acre of level land.
About three years ago when the
Northern Coal and Coke Co., trans
ferred the property to the Consoli-
dation Coal Co., and the latter
company was making plans to build
city, they found that the Bentley
acre was about the center OF their
operations, and Immediately set a.
bout to purchase 1t. Their first Off
er was something less than $1,000,
Bentley remaining deaf to the sit
uation, was offered $10,0o0,$l 600
and even $25 900.
Failing to accept the $4,000
nothing was left but to immediate
| ly enter condemnation proceedings.
About this time, IN order 10 en-.
nance the value of his property,
Bentley built large store and stock
ed it full of goods.
The Consolidation Coal Co., in
their proceedings claimed that 1t
was absolutely necessary for them
to have the acre of land for rail-
road siding purposes for the Big
Sandy and Elkhorn railroad. Bent
ley in his pleadings, denies, this
and contends that it Is not neces-
sary for them to have his property
for railroad purposes, but that the
condemnation proceedings were for
1.-THE purpose of getting his property
and putting him out of business,
there being no other merchandise
stores in the city except those OPP
Grated by the company.
Bentley says as there is no 9TH
r property in jenkins for sale there
is no market value to go by as to
fix the amount of compensation thai
he shluld receive for this acre OF
land, and that he should be
able to produce the amount
OF business he is doing with
the sevenso or eight thousand miners
and others now in the city, and te
show that the coal companies are
opening up other mines which will
bring at least that many more to
the district within the next few
months, each of whom will make
{from SO to $3.50 per day great
81 part of which will be spent there
Bentley states that he is selling
now from $500 to $500 worth of
goods day. He also claims that
he can build no less than six stores
on the acre, which he can easily
rent for $1,000 a year, which would
be but 6 per cent of 100000 and
that he has already been offered
$4s,OOO time and again, SO Bent
ley Is asking that he be paid $780,
900 for bis acre holding.
1t is said that jury in the
Letcher circuit court awarded Bent
ley $4,000 for his holdings.
