ROMANS HAD ELEVATOR
INDICATE
ROME. Oct. 21. —That the ancient Rom
ens had the elevator habit, at least to a
limited degree, is revealed by recent ex
cavations In Palatine. Among the uncov
ered ruins of Nero's city twelve rudely
constructed elevators have been found,
and antiquarians say that their construc
tion dates back to earliest times.
One of them is now being cleaned and
put into working order for exhibition at
the Archaeological congress, which is to
meet here in a few months.
Praise This Remedy
For Consumption
If the voluntarily written words of
grateful people, living In all parts of the
country, praising Eckman's Alterative, a
remedy for the treatment of coughs,
colds, throat and lung troubles, are to be
believed, this medicine Is certainly doing
a vast amount of good for such sufferers.
We state none but facts and give to you
Ute names and words of praise of those
who declare it benefited them—in many
cases coupled with the writers’ statements
that it restored them to health. This is
a sample taken from many:
St. Mary's Academy, O'Neill, Nebraska.
"Gentlemen: About seven years ago, I
was attacked with the dreaded disease,
Tuberculosis. I coughed unceasingly,
could not sleep nor eat, even could not
speak out loud and could do no work. I
had three hemorrhages, raised blood most
of the time and suffered with night
sweats, fever and chills. A specialist of
Columbus. Ohio, pronounced my case
hopeless.
"Nearly five years ago, I heard of your
Alterative and procured some at oner,
with the result that I l»on found myself
restored to health. For the past four
years 1 have been able to continue my
teaching and though I have always had
heavy school work, I am also able to per
form much manual labor. I consider your
medicine, if faithfully taken, a most ex
cellent remedy’ for consumption. Mother
Superior permits this testimonial.”

GUARD SAYS FEAR
MIDEJN SLAY
Former U. S. Prison Officer Is
Sentenced to Ten Years by
Judge Roan.
The law gives me the right to im
pose sentence all the way from one to
twenty years in this case, but the cir
cumstances will not permit the mini
mum sentence. You young man
and will outlive the sentence I am go
ing to impose,” said Judge L. S. Roan
In criminal division of superior court
today as he sentenced J. T. Vance,
Federal prison guard, to ten years In
the penitentiary for the killing of M.
L. Connor, a fellow guard. Vance, upon
a< vice of his attorneys—Harvey Hill,
Reuben Arnold and John Moore—had
pleaded guilty to voluntary’ manslaugh
ter.
Vance, thoroughly nervous and un
strung, made a short statement to the
court before sentence was imposed.
"‘I was frightened when I shot," he
said. “Mr. Connor had continually
picked quarrels with me and I was
afraid he was going to kill me.' ’
According to testimony taken before
Vance entered his plea, the killing grew
out of a long-standing enmity existing
between the two guards. Connor, it
seemed, had sought to get a service rat
ing for the prison, guards and Vance
had refused to sign the petition which
had been circulated. Witnesses told
the court that the men had quarreled
over the matter several times and both
were bitter on the subject.
The shooting occurred at a cottage
directly across the road from the Fed
eral prison. Vance, who had been
talking with a guard named Shaw,
walked across the lawn of the cottage
occupied by Connor as the latter came
out on the porch. Connor started down
the steps with his hand on his hip
when Vance fired five shots, only’ one
of which took effect.
TAPPED 8 TIMES ~
The following report In an extreme case

physicians due to the fact that tapping

and said the end was near:
At this critical moment the treatment
was changed to Fulton’s Renal Compouifd,
the physician aiding It by holding up the
heart and strengthening the little patient
against collapse.
Case very stubborn—dropsy was so op
pressive that the patient had to be tapped
eight times. But as the tappings became
further apart the albumen began to de
cline, diuresis increased, and the patient
made a slow but steady recovery, and is
now going to the public schools in Oak
