She Will
Recover

So her doctor said. Her
friends and neighbors felt
sure of it too. They have
used Peruna themselves
and know of its merits.
That old cough that had
worried her for years and
years, for which she had
taken all sorts of cough
medicines, has disappeared.
Peruna is doing the work.
She will recover. Indeed,
she has recovered.
Her name is Mrs. William
Hohmann, 2764 Lincoln Ave,
Chicago, Ills. She had suffered
with catarrh of the bronchial
tubes and had a terrible cough
ever since a child. As she got
older she grew worse. She
coughed both winter and sum-
mer. Had to sit up at night.
Could not sleep. but all that
has left me now. Peruna has
cured me-"

moi. ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance of food
TO sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength; it makes
Lhesn sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

MISSIONS.-To find shelter dur :
ing the winter time is a problem to
the man who is out of a job. That q
is, if he is homeless and destitute. It q
is not an easy matter by any means
to always be fortunate enough to get
the necessary 10 to Is cents to pay
for a bed in cheap lodging house. .
In the summer time the problem is
simplicity itself. The floor of a con- :
venient box car, the public park, the
water front, even a back lot will do.
All man has to do is to spread a
newspaper, lay upon it, and if the
policeman does not disturb him the
problem is solved. But when Jack
Frost is back again the great qUes-
ton that cOnfrOnts the destitute man
is: How shall I get the price" of a .
bed or a place to shelter me? If he
happens to be an experienced
''moucher" he generally gets it. How
ever, in the case of the majority of
the unemployed, who as a rule are
too timid or else will not lower them
selves to beg on the streets, and for
various reasons will not go to the
municipal lodging house, there re-
mains but one alternative-th floor
of a mission.
Chicago has many such places
most always located in neighbor-
hoods where the Iaboring element
predominant. Seldom are they to be
found in the residential sections Of
this and other cities where the we'll
TODD reside. There magnificent
churches built of stones and having
all the up-to-date cOnVeniences and
modern comforts welcome the wor-
shippers. The mission by the corner
with it's poor accommodations is good
enough for the man in Overalls. Yet
we are told that in this country there
are no classes.

There were two startling sensations
the past week. The first was when an
attempt was made to blow up the United
States Capitol in Washington by means
of bomb placed in the reception room
adjoining the Senate chamber. and the
second was an attempt to asSasSinate J.
p. Morgan, The New York financier. One
man was guilty Of both crimes-an I'M
balanced fellow named Frank Holt, for
merly professor of German in Cornell
University. Holt placed the bomb in the
Capitol, waited until he heard the explo-
sion, then hurriedly took train for New
York, where next morning he forced his
wayinto the country home OF Mr.. Morgan,
whom he shot twice before he was over
powered. Mr.. Morgan was painfully but
not fatally injured. Holt was arrested
and confessed to both deeds. giving as
his reason that he wanted TO stop the ex-
portation of munitions of war from the
United States 10 Europe. Tuesday night
Holt committed suicide in his cell by
climbing to the top OF the door and dash
ing himself headforemoSt TO the floor.
There is great regret that he died before
the whole truth was gotten from him, as
il is believed that he was in vast con-
spiracy. He had large quantity ofdyna-
mite and other explosives in room that
he had occupied, and his purpose was TO
blow up ships and public buildings.

The attempt OF Georgians to lynch a
Governor OF Georgia tends strongly TO
convince the rest OF the world that the
mob spirit, fragrant and menacing, unduly
influenced the jury in the Leo Frank case,
as his defenders assert. No such demon
STATIONS as have Surged about Gov. Slaton
could come from law-loving people
Monroe Waterman.
SOMEHOW we cannot agree with our
contemporary. The demonstration against
Governor Slaton could very reasonably
come from law-loving people, who thus
visibly expressed their Interpretation OF
an executive act which set aside the law
thai was under such supreme test. A
vile murderer had by due process OF law
been condemned to death. The action OF
the court that had tried him was approved
by the superior courts. The case was
reviewed by the Supreme Court OF the
United States and no fault could be found
with the previous judicial procedure.
Every legal technically that could be in
voked for the prisoner, every effort that
money without stint could call forth,
was used by the shrewdest OF lawyers,
and the result was the decision, affirmed
again and again, that Frank had lair
trial and was Justly sentenced. A final
appeal was made to the board OF pardon
commissioners, who thoroughly investi-
gated the case and gave their judgment
that the condemned was guilty and should
pay the penalty OF his crime. Then at
the very last the weak link in the chain
was found and the Governor, abusing his
authority, rendered futile The whole pro-
ceeding and vitiated the law that had so
far stood such severe test.
Franks worthless neck was in reality
saved by the mob spirit-ag entler sort OF
mob, more insidious, but none the less
foolish than that which demanded that
little Mary Phagan's death be avenged.
The mob spirit that saved him was cum
ningly worked up by systematic news
paper campaign and persons who knew
little or nothing of the details became the
violent champions of the murderer, until
finally there was furore and fog and fuss
that enveloped the weak occupant of
Georgia's gubernatorial chair and swept
him off his feet entirely, TO the serious
disadvantage oforderly judicial procedure.
We freely confess that we have more re-
spect for the exasperated and outraged
people OF Georgia than we have for the
manufactured sentiment that has saved
the life of this convicted felon, Frank.

John S. Darst, at present State Auditor,
who has made il known that he will make
the fight for this honor. Mr.. DarSt is an
able man and popular one, and he will
have, it is said, the support OF the inter
ests that are most bitterly opposed to
Governor Hatfield. The Governors fac
ton, no doubt, will bring out candidate
OF its own-which would make compare
lively plain sailing for Fred Blue if he
should conclude to come out on his own

favors reputation of q debt judicially as

Yep. We do not believe that we are
morally or legally bound for debt we
never agreed to assume, especially in
view OF the fact that none of it goes to
the party that brought the action-and
more especially when We reflect that TO
an alleged obligation ofsome four millions
is made the outrageous addition OF over
eight millions OF interest.
Yes, Brother Dennis, we are against
payment OF this graft to the grafters.

A Double Execution.

William Thomas and William Stewart,
two negro murderers, were hanged last
Friday afternoon at the West Virginia
Penitentiary at Moundsville under cir
cumstances probably unparalleled. AT
$50 o'clock the men were taken to the
scaffold in the death chamber, their heads
were covered with the black caps and
their feet and hands tied. Everything
was in readiness for the trap to be sprung,
when the mechanism got out OF order and
the trap would notfall. Attendants united
the hands and feet of the men, took the
black caps from their heads and led them
from the scaffold. No explanation was
made to the doomed men, who were led
back to their cells. Thinking that they
had been pardoned, they gave vent to
their short-lived Joy. Thomas jumped
up and down like child, and Stewart
fell on his knees and offered up a prayer
of thanks for his life being saved. The
Joy of the malefactors was interrupted,
however. Mechanics fixed The trap on
the scaffold, and six minutes after they
had left the scaffold they were brought
back, the black caps were again placed
over their heads, the moose again adjust
ed, and this time the trap was spung.
Ten minutes later both men were pro-
nounced dead by the physicians in at
tendance. Throughout the time OF exc
cuton, including the time the men were
taken back to their cells, colored quar-
tet sang continuously. Thomas killed his
wife near Wheeling, while Stewart shot
and killed the chief police at Ronceverte
some time ago. Both men made full con-
fessjons before going to the scatfold.
