10 DEAD, ONE DYING ON THE CURRENCY RIEL
Maniac Calls Family and Says
• "We'll All Die To
gether"
BLOOMINGTON, Ind„ Sept. 22.—
Mack Hurst, fifty years old, a stone ma
son, early today blew up his home here
with dynamite, killing himself and his
seventeen-year-old daughter, Maude, se
riously injuring two other daughters—
Fannie, thirteen, and Elizabeth, six—
and stunning his wife.
Hurst had been separated from his
wife for six weeks, and yesterday she
refused to take him back. It is believed
that he then, in a fit of insanity, de
termined to kill his entire family, con
sisting of his wife and eight children.
The dead girl met the fate intended
for her mother, and the fact that they
had changed beds for the night cost the
daughter her life. Hurst, after stealth
ily planting a stick of dynamite tinder
- each of the three beds in the house, tied
two sticks to his own body and crawled
into the bed which he had formerly oc
cupied with his wife, but which last
night contained the three daughters,
Maude. Fannie and Elizabeth.
Fannie heard her father getting into
the bed and spoke to him. “Lie still,”
Hurst replied. “We will all die to
gether.”
Before the girl could move, the ex
plosion rent the house and aroused the
city. The police and fire departments
rushed to the scene, removed the bodies
"of Hurst and one daughter, and sent tfie
two injured girls to the hospital.

Smoke of Herbs
For Catarrh
A Simple, Pleasant, Reliable Way
and It Costs Nothing to Try.
This preparation of herbs, flowers
and seeds (containing no tobacco or
habit-forming drugs) is smoked in an
ordinary clean pipe or cigarette. Sim
ply draw; the medicated smoke into the
mouth and inhale into the lungs or send
it out through the nostrils in a per
fectly natural way.
It is net unpleasant, is harmless and
can be used by man, woman or child.
Just as catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air, just so this balmy antiseptic smok
ing remedy goes to the affected air pas
sages of the head, nose, throat and
lungs. It can readily be seen why the
usual treatments, such as sprays, oint
ments, salves, liquid or tablet medi
cines fail—they do not and cannot
reach aJJ the affected parts.
If you have catarrh . of the nose,
throat or lungs, choking; stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if
you are given to hawking or spitting,
you should try this smoking remedy.
A free trial package, together with
an illustrated booklet which goes thor
oughly into the whole question of ca
tarrh will be sent you by Dr. J. W.
Blosser, 51 Walton St., Atlanta, Ga.
This trial will demonstrate to you that
if is an exceptional remedy and as it
only costs $1.00 for a full size box it is
within the reach of every one. Send
you - name and address and the book
let and free trial package will be mailed
you immediately.—<Advt.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—The bank
ing and currency committee of the sen
ate. preparing to continue its hearings
on the administration currency bill jls
passed by the house, today decided to
invite Frank T. Vanderlip, president of
the National City bank of New York,
to discuss the measure before the com
mittee. Later Vice President Talbott.
Of the same institution, will be invited
to appear.
The committee lias decided in the
future to have in attendance an ex
pert. from the office of the comptroller
of the currency to keep the committee
straight on technical questions during
the examination of witnesses.
Monday the committee will hear
Samuel Untermyer. who, as attorney
for the Pujo sub-committee of the
house banking and* currency committee,
conducted the extensive money trust
investigation of the last cortgress.
W. W. Flanagan, of Montclair, N. J.,
was before the committee today. He
approved the bill in principle, but sug
gested a number of amendments. His
examination developed an inclination on
the part of Senators Reed, of Missouri,
and Hitchcock, of Nebraska, to question
various provisions of the measure. Sen
ator Hitchcock questioned the banker
closely as to the possibility of the pro
posed federal reserve board expanding
and contracting credit throughout the
country to suit its political purposes
and of the regional reserve banks ex
ercising a baneful influence over mem
ber .^anks through the regulation of
loand ahd discounts.
On the latter points Senator Reed
asked several questions indicating that
he feared that the power conferred on
the regional banks would enable them
to dominate not only the banks, but
the industrial institutions in their dis
tricts. Mr. Flanagan said he expected
no such evil results from the operations
of the bill.
DETROIT POLICE MAY
HAVE $372,000 ROBBER
(By Associated Press.)
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 22.—William,
Alias “Bid” Houlihan, said to have a

cated with the Bank of Montreal con
cerning the $372,000 bank robbery at
New Westminister, B. C., more than a
year ago. Houlihan carried $350 in
Bank of Montreal bills when taken into
custody and it is alleged that the bills
answer the description of the money
taken in the New Westminister robbery.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The passen

Railroad company’s line bound for this
port from Cristobal, Canal Zone, went
ashore on Shresbury rocks one mile
off Monmouth Beach, N. J., at 4 o’clock

TRIAL- ONE TR
VRE
Hearing, Which Concluded
Shortly After Midnight Fri
day, Showed Gov. Slaton
Doubtful of Granting Pardon
If anything was indicated by the ques
tions of Governor John M. Slaton during
the argument of attorneys in behalf of
Dr. W. J. McNaughton Friday it was
that the governor then doubted pro
foundly if he had any reason to show
clemency to the convicted man.
Very frankly the governor put his
doubts to Attorney John W. Bennett,
of Way cross, and Attorney Frank H.
Saffold, of Swainsboro. Being unham
pered by the restrictions which bind
law courts, the chief executive ques
tioned and argued openly. It was evi
dent that he had been impressed by the
case on record against Dr. McNaughton
and had remained unimpressed by the
new points which the defense sought to
stress.
“What was the arsenic doing in Fred
Flanders’ system? Where did it come
from?” asked the governor, leaning on
his elbows upon the table and smiling
into the face of Attorney Bennett, who
sat opposite to him.
“Now, w r e don’t know that,” said Mr.
Bennett. “That’s all there is to this
case.”
Later, when the point arose again
during the colloquy between them, Mr.
Bennett < f stulated, “But that’s put
ting the b^.uen upon the defense, when
the law puts it on the state. We sug
gest merely what might have been
true.”
“If you have the situation that Is
proven to have existed in that house,
supplying the motive, and if you have
the opportunity which Dr. McNaughton
is shown to have possessed, do you
still consider that it is putting the bur
den on the defense?” asked the gov
ernor.
“We have shown that it was possible
he took some arsenic in medicine at
Thomasville, or in pills at home, that
Dr. McNaughton didn’t know a thing
about,’’ said Mr. Bennett. “The burden's
on the state. We haven’t got to show
positively how the arsenic got there.
Why, scientists say there’s arsenic even
in vegetables, in beans.”
Governor Slaton smiled. “And you
know they say there’s gold in the ocean,
Mr. Bennett. But you know conjecture
like that is not a reasonable thing to
be considered in a case like this.”
Mr. Bennett suggested that arsenic
appears principally in about all of the
prescriptions that are given for ma
larial fever. He admitted that the
record might not touch upon that pos
sibility.
“But this man Flanders had no
fever,” said Governor Slaton. “Dr. Mc
Naughton himself said repeatedly that
he didn’t have fever.”
Mr. Bennett declared that Attorney
Saffold had talked with Dr. Green Bell
(the Only other physician who saw
Flanders during the latter’s last ill
ness), and that Dr. Bell said ,Flanders
had uraemic poisoning, and that the
poison was in his system. He offered
that the laymen who had testified that
Dr. Bell said Flanders had been poi
soned mignt easily have misinterpreted
what the physician meant.
Governor Slaton remarked there that
months before Flanders died, or in
March, 1910, Dr. McNaughton had given
a certificate that Flanders' kidneys and
other organs were in perfect condition.
TELLS ROW MILK
BE KEPT
URGES GERMANY TO
COME TO EXPOSITION
(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN. Sept. 22.—Representative
Richard Bartholdt, of Missouri, who is
staying at Bad Herzburg, w’rote today
to the Cologne Gazette and the Frank
fort Gazette; urging reconsideration of
Germany’s d-ecision not to participate
in the Pananm^-Pacific exposition at
San Francisco in 1915, as this is, he
points out, a deflection from Emperor
William’s policy of cementing the
friendship between the two countries.
America, he says, is entitled to ex
pect participation by those seafaring
nations, which partly make their living
out of her. He declares it unwise for
Germany to miss an opportunity of
proving that the fatherland is a better
friend of the United States than is
England. Private participation in the
exposition, no matter on how extensive
a scale would be, he concludes, insuffi
cient and Germany must take part offi
cially.
State Commissioner of Agri
culture Issues Bulletin to
Dairymen
In an effort to purify the milk sup
ply. not only of Atlanta but of Geor
gia in general. James D. Price, Geor
gia’s commissioner of agriculture, has
issued circular No. 1, containing timely
suggestions to producers and dealers
for improvement in the quality of milk.
These circulars are being distributed
throughout the state as a warning to
any infringement on the laws. Where
had conditions are found to exist, these
suggestions are offered for the bene
fit of the offender, that he may rectify
any defects within a reasonable length
of time, thereby saving himself the
trouble of being disciplined.
It is the duty of the inspectors on
their rounds to notify any dairyman
should any unlawful conditions exist
in his dairy and warn him to make
the proper corrections or take the con
sequences. It is the intention of Mr.
Price to give the, dealers and producers
a fair showing at the outset, with the
express understanding, however, that
pure milk only must be sold in the fu
ture. To those who persist in break
ing the law, punishment is promised.
First among the standards as set for
ward in the bulletin is that of fat as
follows:
"The legal standard of fat in this
state is 3.25 per cent. All ordinary
cows give milk containing between 3.25
and 6 per cent, and it is only in excep
tional cases that pure milk will be eith
er above or below these limits. If
the farmer has cows that give a poor
er grade than 3.25 per cent he should
get rid of them at once, since they are
unprofitable.” , .
In another section the pamphlet goes
into the matter of visible dirt in the
tollowing manner:
••Milk should always be clean. In re
ports from the state laboratory the re
port of ’slight dirt’ is not infrequent.
The term ‘slight dirt’ means that a few
visible specks of dirt are found by fil
tering the milk through cotton.
“Although no dirt at all should be
present, tt frequently happens that milk
produced under good conditions will oc
casionally show dirt, and a single re
port of this sort has little significance.
If the report ’slight dirt’ comes back
constantly, however, it indicates un
due carelessness. If the milk is re
ported ‘dirty’ or ‘Very dirty’ it always
indicates that something is wrong in
the handling of the milk, and in such
cases attention should be given to re
move the cause of the trouble. AH
dirt cannot be strained out of milk,
and the only remedy is to prevent the
dirt from getting into the milk rath
er than by trying to remove it.”
USE COVERED PAIL.
The rules for avoiding contamination
by dirt are four in number:
“1. Use a covered milk pail which
has only a small opening for the en
trance of the milk. These pails are on
the market and are the most important
single device for reducing the amount
of dirt that gets intp milk.
“2. See that the air of the milking
room is clean and pure. To prevent
dust the cows should not he fed before
or during milking.
”3. Keep the cows clean by proper
washing and brushing of the flanks.
It is more important to keep the cow
clean than the horse, though the con
trary is usually the custom. Since the
largest part of the dirt comes from the
filth attached to the cow it may be
mostly avoided if the cow is kept clean
and the milk pail covered.
”4. After milking cover the milk
with a cover which will allow no dirt
to enter.”
' An important point set forward is
the danger of disease from bacteria in
milk. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and other
dangerous diseases are cited as being
directly traceable to impure milk on
many occasions.
Declaring the number of bacteria
present in milk is the result of a com
bination of factors, the report con
tinues:
“A high bacterial count will be found
if the milk has become badly contami
nated with filth, if it is kept too warm
and if the milk is too old. A high
bacteria count therefore indicates either
excessive contamination, excessive tem
jjerature or excessive age, of a combi
nation of these factors.

Draining Fish Pond
Netted Owner $2,000
By Selling Tickets
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Postmas-
as a financial asset has never been con
sidered seriously, but S. P. Adams’ in
come from his big pond near Pavo has
rivalled that of a cotton planter this
week. For several weeks he has adver
tised in the papers that he would drain
his pond on a certain date and would
sell tickets for $1 each to persons who
wanted to take fish.
On the day set people came from all
the surrounding country in automobiles,
buggies, wagons. A large party went
from Quitman and they said there were
between 3,000 and 5,000 people there.
The sale of tickets amounted to about
$2,000 and at a low estimate 35,000
pounds of fish were taken from the pond.
The pond covered a large area; the
tickets were sold for the privilege of
entering it and taking the fish as the
waters receded. One man paid $1 for
a ticket and afterward sold his string
of fish for $7. The pond was drained
solely for the purpose of getting the
fish, with which it was so plentifully
stocked. People who like to figure out
such things, estimate that a good pond
like this is equivalent to a fund of $60,-
000 In the bank drawing interest, and as
ponds are easy of attainment in south
Georgia, It represents very little outlay.
However, a pond can only be drained in
this manner for fish every three or four
years.

Who Tells Catarrh Sufferers How
He Conquered This Foul Monster
How Cxygen Stops Catarrh
You probably know what Oxygen Is. It is the
Life-giving, Life-sustaining element of the air
we breathe. It is Oxygen that purifies our blood
—takes from it the poisons that, otherwise,
would contaminate our bodies. Without Oxygen
wo would die—every living thing would die—
birds, flowers, animals—everything.
Possibly you already know this. But the fact
that this same Oxygen can be directed to the
cure of Catarrh, and similar distressing, dis
gusting ailments, may be news to you. It was
new to me until I discovered the means for prop
erly directing Oxygen to the cure of my own
Catarrh.
I had suffered for many years from that loath
some, nateful disease (Catarrh) which manifests
itself In the most uncomfortable and conspicuous
ways—in hawking, spitting, foul breath, bad
taste, frequent and disagreeable blowing of the
nose, coughs, irritating colds and the most dis
tressing stomach troubles; not to mention ca
tarrhal deafness, head noises and over-sensitive
ness to heat and cold.
Undoubtedly I tried everything you ever tried.
You know the result—the disappointing result—
as well as I. You have probably tried vapors,
creams, sprays, salves, smoke, steam, injections,
electricity, vibration, massage, atomizers, inhal
ers and other appliances, plasters, staying in
the house, land and sea trips, all to no purpose.
You know the things that failed for you, failed
for me.
Being naturally of a cleanly habit, I was em
barrassed and shamed by the hateful evidences
of a disease I could not master—a stealthy, per
sistent disease that was surely undermining my
constitution, my disposition and my ability. I
was shunned by social and business acquaint
ances, and could not blame them, for I knew
that aside from the nauseating habits brought
ou by my affliction, my breath must be as of
fensive as the taste in my mouth.
Oxygen did this—for me
Oxygen will do it—for you
I WILL TELL YOU HOW—FREE
No Salves, Steam, Spray, Creams or Vapors, No Atomizers, oi
Apparatus of Any Kind. Nothing to Smoke, Burn or Chew.
No Electricity, Vibration or Massage, No Inhalers or Plasters
OXYGEN —The Vital Principle of the Air,
Heals 24 Hours
You Too Can Be Free
I spent hundreds of dollars seeking for a cure.
And when, at last, I did find a cure, it was
pure, healthful, powerful but harmless Oxygen.
Oxygen, the healing force that had been at my
elbow—ready to my hand, waiting to he direct
ed to my cure.
Having known your despair, I sympathize with
your affliction of mind and body. I can only
imagine how horribly distasteful Catarrhal con
ditions must be to refined women. I know why
Catarrh sufferers shun society—why they are un
popular—why they are unsought—why they seek
always for relief. I know also that there is re
lief ‘‘ready to the hand” of every Catarrh suf
ferer. I want to help them find this relief-
men and women alike—as I have found it.
I might make a secret of this method of ap
plying Oxygen, and could possibly sell such a
I secret for a considerable sum. But I will not
do that. I will tell you all about it—how Free
Oxygen may be directed to the seat of your
trouble—directed to your relief. I'm not going
to charge one cent for this information, valuable
as it may be. I firmly Itelleve that Oxygen,
used In the manner I will describe, will stop
catarrh of any kind over night. I have never
known a case where the sufferer employed prop
erly applied Oxygen and failed. More than this;
I have known hundreds of cases of Asthma, Hay
Fever, Bronchitis. Foul Breath, Bad Taste,
Hoarseness, Colds in Head and Throat, affec
tions of the Larynx and Tonsils, Stomach. In
testinal and Lung Troubles, that have found
relief over night, from the proper application
of Free Oxygen.
I know that Catarrh sufferers have been read
ing advertisements that offer “catarrh cures’*
for years. I have done this myself. I have
tried every reasonable-sounding remedy, and
know that most advertised remedies are abso
lutely useless—a waste of money—and even the
best of them give no more than temporary re
lief. I do not know any surer way to reach
Catarrh sufferers quickly, and offer them this
means of relief, than by an advertisement of
this kind.
Don’t Send Money, Write Me
This free offer is not made with the expecta
tion that you will send me one cent for the in
formation 1 give. 1 do not ask It—will not
accept It. You need not tell me your history
Uor the condition of your finunees—whether or
not you are able or willing to pay much or little
for a cure. I don’t care about these things—
they do not interest me.
If I already kuew your name and address, I
would not wait for you to ask me—I would send
the information you need, at once, without you'*
request, permission or consent—knowing It would
be valuable to you—trusting you would think no
less of it because Is was free. I would not ask
you to spend even one cent for a postal card ou
which to send me your name and address.
But I do not know yon—I only know your need
—and bare to nsk yon to buy a postal bard and
send me your name and address, written plainly.
If you wish, you can write me like this:—
“Dear Sam Katz:—Please tell me how Fteo
Oxygen cured your Catarrh, and how it will
cure mine.” That’s all you need to aay. I
will understand and will send you complete in
formation free by return mail.
I’m just a plain, ordinary business man—not
an ad-writer—and may not have told this In an
interesting, convincing way. But, I am veby
much in earnest. If yob suffer from any form
of Catarrh—for the sake of your health, your
happiness, your friends and family—juet please
let me do this for you. Let me send this In
formation free, right now.
I’m going to put my name and address In big,
plain letters, so you can’t mistake who I am nor
where I am. Address me like this:—

Issues in By-Elections Are
Drawn About Party Lines
Results of Elections to Fill
House Vacancies to Bring
Another Test of Democratic
Strength
(By RALPH SMITH.)
MUSKEGON, Mich., Sept. 22.—At*
gressional by-election of the present
fall should throw some significant
light on the question of whether the
disposition of anti-Democratic elements
in American politics to get together
once more, as they did in the recent
congressional election in Maine, is to
continue. There are now five house va
cancies, and in three of them the issues
will be made as squarely as they were
in the recent campaign in Maine. The
otner two districts are in New %ork
City, and safely Democratic, and there
fore the Republicans and the Progres
sives will not pay particular attention
them.
The house vacancies are In the fol
lowing states:
West Virginia, first district. This va
cancy was caused by the appointment
of Representative John W. Davis to be
solicitor general in the Wilson ad
ministration.
New York, thirteenth and twentieth
districts. The vacancy in the former
district was caused by the demise of
“Big Tim” Sullivan, and in the latter by
the appointment of Representative
Francis Burton Harrison to be governor
general of the Philippines. These dis
tricts are Democratic by safe margins.
Maryland, third district. The vacancy
here was caused by the demise of Rep
resentative George Konig.
Massachusetts, third district. The de
mise of Representative William H.
Wilder caused the vacancy in this dis
trict.
ELECTION OCTOBER 14.
The election in West Virginia will
fall on October 14; there is a general
purpose, if preliminaries can be ar
ranged, to fill the other four vacancies
at the regular elections in November.
In New York this will certainly be
done, it is said, and plans to that end
are being made in both Massachusetts
and Maryland.
Roosevelt carried the first West Vir
ginia district last year, receiving 13,-
222 votes, to 12,688 for Taft. Mr.
Davis was elected to congress at that
time by a plurality of 130 over an oppo-
ment who styled himself a Republican
progressive. Five or six years ago the
district was safely Republican, by ma
jorities ranging from 3,000 to 4,000.
Wheeling is the principal town in the
district, and throughout all the coun
ties the manufacturing interests are ex
tensive, including paper mills, glass
factories, potteries, iron and steel
founderies, etc. There is also a large
trade in wool. All these items are seri- j
ously affected by the new tariff, for j
which reasons the Republicans expect to
carry the district by an old time ma- ;
jority. The Democrats, so far as can j
be learned here, are not seriously dis- j
puting that the district will elect a Re
publican, but they hope it will be by
so narrow a margin as to prevent a
repetition of what took place recently
in Maine. A result in favor of amal
gamation as it was shown to be in
Blaine, would be of the utmost political

importance.
The third Maryland district is a part
of the city of Baltimore, and years ago
it was safely Republican. The tariff
will be the chief issue in this district
also, and the Republicans are quite
hopeful either of success, or of cutting
down the Democratic plurality. The
Democrats, however, claim they will
hold their own.
The Third Massachusetts district has
been Republican for many years. It
slumped quite heavily in 1910, owing to
popular dissatisfaction with some of
the Taft policies, and Representative
Wilder was elected by a plurality of only
ISO, but last November his plurality
was increased to 3,203, in the face of
the fact that a third party organization
was at work.* The Republicans seem con
fident of more than holding their own
in this district in November, and of
giving renewed emphasis to the ten
dency of their party to unite.
INTEREST WIDESPREAD.
How it will all come out nobody
knows at this time, but there is enough
of practical politics in these three dis
tricts outside of New York City to give
their approaching congressional cam
paigns much interest everywhere. It Is
noticeable that this interest is just as
marked among Democrats and Progress
ives as among Republicans. West Vir
ginia is a good deal like Maine in one
respect. The revolt against old-line Re
publicanism was particularly strong
there last year, and the Progressives, in
consequence, polled a heavy vote. The
Republicans carried the Third Maine dis
trict recently because they adopted
many of the Progressives policies and
styled themselves Progressive Republi
cans. Last year the Republicans were
a poor third in the same district.
The plans of the Progressive congres
sional committee as announced this
week are to place a congressional can
didate in the field in every district next
year, and in the five districts referred
to in this article. The outcome of the
elections this year, however, will have
more to say about the future of the
Progressive party than any statements
given out at this time by its congres
sional committee. If the party can
hold its own in the 1913 elections that
are yet to come, thus offsetting in large
degree the effect of what happened to
it in Maine, it will be able to go into
the campaign of 1914 with a good deal
of confidence. But If tne five districts
which are to choose congressmen in a
short time, repeat, in whole or In part,
what took place in Maine, the Progress
ive party in the 1914 canfpaign will
probably not be a serious factor. Pro
gressive managers seem confident that
their party is to hold its own in the
five districts. This is disputed by the
Republicans and the Democrats. Only
the count of the ballots can determine
which claim is correct.
