The death of Miss Williamson aroused a storm of protest against the cure. Mrs. Hazzard was charged with first degree murder, and the jury found her guilty of manslaughter in February. 1912.

Mrs. Hazzard contended that her own fast proved that the expert medical testimony given at her trial had been successfully refuted.

The murder trial had given her widespread publicity, and hundreds of persons wrote her every week inquiring about the hun ger cure. ST. PAUL, Aug. 30.—Application in rhyme for parole from the State re formatory, where he is serving a sen tence for forgery, has been made by S. Harold Nielson, of Chicago. A yearning for Chicago, where, th" poet says, he “was raised when hut a boy,” Is expressed in the lengthy poem. Some of the verses, evidently the culmination of the poetical outburst, which the author had underscored, follow : This morning, when I heard the bell In my dreary cell, I was thinking of the day 1 am to go To dear old Shlc-ca-go. 1 am now but twenty years, Have never touched one or two beers, Have never smoked a cigarette, I am my parents’ only pet. I am thinking of a man who has a heart, And that is Governor Hberhart, Wondering If he would please give me my release Or let me suffer behind the bars to squeeze. All I pray for Is but a chance To show r that I can fit the law’s pants. 1 want to be in the State of Illinois. That i* where I w as raised when but a boy. Unless other* prisoners object, it was stated, Nielson's efforts will be printed in the reformatory paper.

RELiUkVIUI.E, I EL., Aug. 30.—The brothers Grass. Alois and otto, back were inseparable, twenty years ago, were insparable. “What one has the otheV shall have; share and share alike,' was the principle they ob served. But little towns ip Germany do not present many opportunities for strong young men, and it was decided that Alois, the older, could better contrib ute to the support of the Grass par ents by seeking his fortune in the New r World. When Alois Grass left, he and his brother agreed that affection and the old compact should exist unchanged. Should either one be beset by bad luck or illness, all the other had was to be his as he needed. In particu lar, after they had married and got families, should one die, the other was to give assistance and keep wid ow and children from want. Alois reached the wonderful New World and after several years of knocking about settled near Belleville. He married and managed to buy a little farm. Six children were born. Brother Otto also married and sev en little ones added glory to the name of Grass. Two month* ago word came from Otto’s widow that he had died sud denly. Then, six weeks ago. Alois was made a widower. Shortly after ward a matronly German woman, accompanied by seven stalwart chil dren, arrived here, Alois Grass met them at the station. Mrs. Otto Grass became Mrs. Alois Grass, and now thpre are thirteen Grass cousins io helo till the Grass farm. GOES TO EUROPE Mrs. Lena Stoiber-Reed Quits Denver to Enjoy Fruits of Her Ventures. 17 DAYS' VIGIL WINS $14,000. WINNIPEG. MAN, Auk. 30. After standing at the door of a land office for seventeen days and nights, Har vey Davis, of Lincoln, Neb., yesterday filed on a homestead near Winifred which is valued at $14,000. DENVER Aug. 30.— Mr*. Lena Stol- her-Reed, the most successful woman mining operator In the world, has quit this city to make her home in Europe and enjoy the million she ha* made in mining. She is credited with “cleaning up” a fortune from the celebrated Silver Lakes group of mines in the San Juan field, Western Colorado. Her first husband had turned to this field when the gold excitement was at its height there about twenty years ago. In order to “help out” his wife kept boarders, and .when the group of pros pects was secured, assisted In the active work of development. She soon became a familiar figure In the West ern mining world. She thought nothing of donning miner’s attire and working with the men in the mine when she deemed it necessary to assist Mr. Stober in overseeing the work personally. The mines were located In a high and almost inaccessible part of the San Jdan Mountains. After she had made a big fortune at mining, Mrs. Stoiber turned to Denver, where she made a social con quest of the Colorado capital. Mr. Stoiber died and a few years ago his widow married Hugh Reed, a Pacific Coast capitalist. Mr Reed w r ent down with the Titanic. Another successful mining operator is Miss O. L Granfleld. a slender, dark-eyed young woman, who lives at one of the big hotels In Colorado Springs, and who would be taken for a society woman intent on nothing hut pleasure rather than president of one of the biggest mines in Cripple »’reek. Judge Believes in Newspaper Veracity; Indiana Jurist Also Has Found Re- | porters To Be Nice Young Men. MUNCIE, INI)., Aug. 30.—“I said in open court, and the statement was published in the newspapers, that all these ‘blind tiger’ cases were set for trial.” said Judge W. A. Thompson, of the Circuit Court, addressing an at torney for one of the accused men, who said yesterday that he thought his client’s case was not to come up until Thursday. "Do you believe everything you read in the newspapers?” asked Prosecut ing Attorney J. Frank Mann. “Every little thing.” responded the court. “I believe the newspapers to be truthful and their representatives to be truthful. The reporters I hav* always found to be clean, nice young men.” JAIL-BREAKER LEAVES CARD OF APOLOGY; CELL TOO HOT JACKSON, MICH., Aug 30 When Paul DeMott escaped from the jail at Forest, Miss., where he was serv ing a sentence for carrying concealed weapons, he felt a note of regret. He said he disliked to leave without even saying “good-bye," hut that tlie unbearable heat forced him to go. He also promised to pay what remained of his fine—that Is, if he could make the necessary money . Ye Ancient Eggs Taste Extra Fine Swiss Poultry Ranchers Preserve Product for Nine Months With New Preparation. WASHINGTON, Aug 30—What Is believed to be a satisfactory agent for the proper preservation of eggs has been brought to the attention of the Agricultural Department through Con sul General Mansfield at Zurich. The new- preservative is called “Ovo Con servator’’ and consist of a prepared liquid of adhesive character, the Ingre dients of which may be easily and cheaply obtained. It is claimed the new method will preserve the egg for nine months with out appreciable injury to its freshness, weight, transparency, appearance, smell or taste. s Appeals for Men and Women Is Made From Every State to Immigration Officials From every State in the Union, from every city and hamlet, an ap peal has been raised to the immigra tion officials of the country for un skilled labor. According to a relia ble expert estimate just made, 1,000,- 000 immigrants could be brought into the United States within the next six months and the demand could scarce ly be met. The coal and coke fields of Penn sylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana alone could give employment to from 75,000 to 100,000 additional men. Joseph P. Dowling, inspector of the United States Department of Labor, declares that laborers are scarcer to-day in the United States than ever before in history. In spite of the increase in the num ber of immigrants during 1913, almost twice as many could find employment j at wages ranging from 20 to 40 cents I per hour. Mines Are Short Handed. In Houghton, Michigan, and all through the Lake Superior mining district, operations are being delayed for want of miners. From Jackson ville, Fla., comes the loudest wall. All the native negroes have come North, attracted by high wages, and now Jacksonville has been forced to im port negroes from South Carolina and Italians to complete work that has already been started. Not only are men wanted in Ameri ca. but women, (no. At Reading and York, Pa., hundreds of women immi grants would be welcomed to work In the textile mills and cigar fac tories, while Providence, R. I., New Bedford and Fall River are also ap pealing for women to work in the textile mills. Throughout the coun try, from coast to coast, thousands of women could find employment at attractive wages as domestic serv ants. The famous Pittsburg district and the farmers of Kansas, Iowa and Texas are probably most seriously af fected by the shortage of unskilled labor. The iron and steel mills of Pittsburg want 10,000 men, w T hile an other 10,000 are needed in Pittsburg proper on building operations. The output of the Connellsville coke fields has been reduced 25 per cent. The coal mines about Pittsburg are run ning 50 per cent siort. Farmers Neel Thousands. In West Virgin!* and Virginia the coal mines are ruming half time a* a result of insuffident labor, while the same condition prevails in the Ohio coal mines. Harvesting the eibrmous crops in Kansas and adjoining States is being seriously interfered with. Kansas calls in vain for 25.0 0 men. Arizona, too, wants farm hanoj, and even Del aware has sent an ugent appeal fof men to work in the ha-vest fields. The railroad* are iralmost as seri ous a predicament as the farmers. The enormous crops and the work required to move then, the extensive improvements being nade by rail roads throughout the ountry and the damage done by floodsin the Middl® West, all have been factirs. But prob ably more important tan all has been the generally inbroved busi ness conditions which have mad® places for every unemplc/ed man and woman.

Meets His Rescuer After Fifty Years THE RECORD By special order of the Secretary of War an offi cer of the United States Army is to he detailed for service at, Riverside Military Academy. The approval for this detail follows speedily the recommendation of Major B. F. Hardaway, Sev enteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort McPherson, who made the inspection by special order of the War Department early in July. This detail carries with it the complete equip ment of modern rifles, dress and service accouter ments, haversacks, canteens and mess equipment as used by the United States Army. Also artillery and cavalry equipment for. dis mounted service. The uniforms of the Riverside cadets are identi cal with those of the West Point cadets, and are fit ted to the figure of each cadet by military tailors at Riverside Military Academy. In this respect, River side stands alone among the Southern preparatory schools. THE RECOMMENDATION In .July of this year a request was made upon the War De partment for an army officer to be detailed for service with the Riverside cadets. Copies of the current catalogue and a complete description of the campus, location, surroundings, physical equipment and faculty wore furnished. This so impressed the War Department that notwithstanding the annual inspection of academies and schools applying for such recognition is made only in April, a SPECIAL INSPECTION was ordered immediately, and Major Hardaway was detailed for this service. He was so impressed with the location of Riverside, two miles out of Gainesville—connected by trolley—in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, with Lake Warner on its 2,000-acre campus, that he wrote in strong praise of its magnificent natural advantages and wonder ful possibilities. lie was greatly impressed with the opportunities afforded for indoor gallery practice, long range sharpshooting adjacent" to the school, the maneuvering grounds, bridge building, pontoon work, swimming, boating and other arts of modern warfare, all on or at the campus. The physical equipment, with its well lighted, perfectly ven tilated and modemly equipped barracks, mess hall, class rooms and gymnasium, so enthused him that his comments on these fea tures in his report caused the War Department to take immediate action and announce the approval and detail. THE REASON / • Riverside possesses all the requisites of an ideal military school. In addition to the superior advan tages named. Riverside lias: 1. An Accomplished Faculty—An instructor of successful experience for every twelve boys. No cadet’s room more than three doors from teacher. 2. Wholesome Atmosphere—Two miles out in the hills, with ideal quietude for study, yet enjoy ing the cultured influences of the refined and in tellectual city of Gainesville. 3. Superior Athletics—Only best coaches and trainers employed. Every bov given opportunity to participate. Three and four teams in each kport, coached by members of faculty. 4. Individual Instruction—All the courses of fered by any preparatory school and taught thor oughly. 5. Inspection Invited—The most complete boys’school in the South. Parents and prospective patrons urged to visit academy. Chance Joins Union Veteran Comrade Who Saved Life in Battle. and ] WEST SALEM. WIS., Aug 30.—When Hood's army invented Nashville in 1864.
