syllables come very quickly together.
and between each "mb-dup" there
comes a pause. the short period when
the heart Is resting. as 1t were.
The "lub" sound Is due to the blood
flowing out Of the heart, and the dup"
is the closing Of the hearts valves,

Iables the doctor knows IL your heart
Is working as II should do.

physician knows what steps to take to

that his patient has something wrong

.EPILEPTIC CAUSES
DEATH OF PARENT
Seized With Fit, Becomes Sudden
Iy Insane and MurderOusIy
Attacks Slster-In-Lay.

August Piekenbrock, of Coldwater,
aged IS years caused the death of his
mother in that village last Friday morn
ing, while he was the victim of an
epileptic fit, when he frightened her so
badly that she suffered an attack of heart
trouble and died instantly.
The unfortunate man was seized with
an attack while in the rear of the Pie
kenbrock home and fell to the ground
His sister-in-law, Mrs. Frank Pieken-
brock, went to his assistance, when he
suddenly became vicious, picked up a
hoe and struck her across the head in
licting an ugly cash in the forehead.
His mother, hearing the commotion, ran
out to quiet him, when he turned upon
her, frightening her so that she fell
PROSTATE to the ground.
Neighbors rushed in and overpowered
the fellow. Sheriff Fisher and Deputy
Sheriff BetZ were summoned, and
brought him to this city, where he was
lodged in Jail Friday afternoon he was
adjudged insane before Probate Judge
Raudabaugh and taken to Toledo.
His mind was completely unbalanced.
He does not realize the awful tragedy in
which he figured, does not recognize
relatives or neighbors and refused to eat.
Mrs. Piekenbrock was 90 years of age,
the widow of the late August Pieken-
brock, and we'll known in her home
town. Funeral services were held Mon
dav morning.

cupantS on Upper Floor Have

Fire of unknown origin gutted the in
terror of the Schoch brothers grocery,
corner Fayette and Sugar streets, at an
early hour Wednesday morning, and
smoke and water completed the total
destruction of the grocery stock The
building, outside of the interior of the
grocery room was not badly damaged
The blaze was discovered by Miss
Buelah Desch who was awakened about 2
O'Clock by the smoke. She arose to
close a window when she saw the smoke
issuing from the windows on the first
floor of the grocery Her father turned
in an alarm and hurried to the building.
The senior member of the firm, Mike
Schoch and wife, live on the second floor
and were unaware of the fire until
awakened by Mr.. Desch and the noise of
the fire department as they arrived at the
scene. Exit on the stairway, which
leads up through the grocery room, was
cut off and Mr.. and Mrs. Schoch rushed
to the roof at the rear of the building
where they were taken down by the fire
laddies. The grocery stock was fully
covered by $500 insurance and the
building by 500.

AGAIN TALKED Of

A Ft. Wayne, Ind, special of the 11th
inst. says:
"Ft. Wayne will soon boast of a
through steam railroad from Columbus,
Ohio, to ChiCago-maybe.
1T will if the New York Central Rail-
road committee complies with the re-
quest of the local Commercial Club and
constructs 40 miles of track between
this city and St. Marys, o. 1t is be-
lieved that the company will do this, as
with such a railroad the n Y. c. would
have the shortest line of any of the great
railroads between the coal fields of Ohio
and Chicago.
The New York Central at the present
time has a road extending from Co1um-
bus to St. Marys. 1t also owns the Lake
Shore Railroad which runs through the
city of Chicago
So it is evident that if a road is built
connecting ST. Marys with Fl. Wayne
the company will have direct communi-
cation between the capital of Ohio and
the metropolis of Illinois. Figures, too,
show that the new route would be the
shortest by so or 90 miles between these
cities
The local Commercial club is vitally
interested in getting this section of road
built and has made strongrequests to the
New York Central to construct the neCes-
sary track. A delegation will shortly
leave for New York City to take up the
matter personally with the roads presi-
dent. With this new road it is thought
that Ft. Wayne might get its coal ship
ped here at lower rates, and it is certain
that big territory would be opened to
local wholesale houses.

bassy at Mexico City Hampered by
Present condltions-Rebe Leader
Protests Against Recognition.
Washington, July II. - President
Wilson yielded to the foreign pressure
!or declaration of policy on Mexico
to the extent Of directing Secretary
Bryan to summon Henry Lane VIII
son, ambassador to Mexico, to Wash.
ington at once for a Conference on
the situation. Ambassador Wilson
can not reach Washington for at least
a week, and It is expected that fur
ther developments in the situation as
far as Washington is concerned will
cease until his arrival.
1t is established beyond question
that the presidents action was due
to the action of the diplomatic corps
in Mexico City in declaring the Unit
ed States attitude toward Mexico a
ccntributory cause of the increasing
disorders there and the request from
European government that the
Washington government indicate what
it intends to do about the situation.
In many quarters it was declared that
the Wilson administration is now con-
fronted with the alternative of rec
ognition or Intervention"
Ambassador Wilson is personally in
favor Of the recognition of the pres
ent government in Mexico. The en-
bassy is itself greatly hampered in its
representations to the government at
Mexico City. This government not
having recognized Huerta, the en-
bassy can make only informal de-
mands on the Huerta government.
President Huerta informed Ambas-
sador Wilson that while Mr. Wilson
is welcome personally, he can hardly
expect to receive recognition as the
ambassador Of a government which
had not recognized the government
with which he is attempting to deal,
The effect which recognition of the
Huerta government would have on
in Mexico was clearly dem
onstrated when it became known that
Governor Carranza, leader of the only
revolution in Mexico, tele-
graphed instructions to his represen-
tatives here to protest against consid-
Grafton of recognition of Huerta.
