; Fred aged 'seventy, of I this county, died at the northern prls<m, at Michigan City, Saturday, after ‘yan illness of several months with tui berculoels. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Elwood Blazer of this city, but so far as learned no ar- . rangements have been made to have the remains brought here. Mr. Richcards lived in this county many years. 'About twenty-five years ago he was arrested for the murder of a man | named Amos Backestoe, was tried at (Fort Wayne and found guilty and sentenced to Michigan City for life. In 1904 he was paroled after having \ served nineteen years. He came , back here and remained for some time, but was unable to work and ?■ ' '"' ■

seemed ill at ease. He finally went to the county infirmary, where he stayed for several months, gradually growing weaker. He finally requested that be be sent to prison, where 1 he could be cared for in the hospital. . Warden Reid admitted him last June and the remaining days of his life i were spent there. He maintained his < innocence while here, but refused to i talk much about the famous old case, i The word concerning his death was i sent by prison officials to a brother, < William Richards, here, but the lat- < ter had preceded his brother in i death, having died two* weeks ago as a result of being struck by an interurban car. 1

Judge LaFollette announced that he was prompted so’ely In his lenient action In suspending the I sentence by the reports made to him I I by the two practicing physicians who since the conviction of Uptegraft have examined him at the county jail rela- > tlve to the probable effects of the gunshot wound in his head and said that the reports indicated that if sent to prison Uptgraft’s days on earth would be considerably lessened as he was in no condition to withstand i the close confinement and the hard I labor imposed on state prisoners. Mrs. Uptgraft and two children arrived In the city on the morn|ng train and were In the court room at the 1 time their husband and father wasI arraigned before the court and later: went with him to the county jail.

Va., writes: "I was a sufferer from kldhey disease, so that at times I I could not get out of bed, and when I 1 did I could not stand straight I took' Foley’s Kidney Remedy. One dollar i e bottle and part of the second cured me entirely.” It will cure you. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o ' — Washington, Oct 4.—Dr. Frederick A? Cook, the Arctic explorer, announced shortly after his arrival from New York to deliver his lecture that he will acquiesce in the proposition that the University of Copenhagen be | asked to waive its claim to a prior ex. amination of his records, in order that American* geographical societies and other scientific bodies in this country may be enabled to review his data. He said he would be satisfied to have the of all these tribunals announced simultaneously. Frankness characterized Dr. Cook’s answers to every question asked by newspaper men, although the explorer added ' but little to whai he already has sale and published since he returned to I civilization. When asked if he would in the future fit up an expedition to | go to the south pole, Dr. Cook said I he was not yet prepared to answer | on that point, but he added that disI covery ‘of the south pole would be I much easier than the north pole and G would be attended by far less danger. I ous risks. He pointed that a probable I route to the south pole would be I along stretches of land on which staI tions might be established. Dr. Cook’s I lecture was frequently interrupted by I cheering. He sought to confine himI self more to his travels and experI lences than to a discussion of criticI isms aimed at him. Prefacing his reI marks, the explorer asserted that whll J j he was glad to have discovered the pole, and was glad also to have reI turned to tell the world about it, he I had endeavored to make it plain that I his was a private expedition, and not I one backed by the government or by Ila “polar trust” His only reference ’to Commander Peary was in lauding the bravery of nearly a dozen explorers whom be named, and this evoked loud cheering. At the close Os the lecture, Dr. Cook was the guest of the National Press dub during the remainder of the evening. He met personally the newspaper men of Washington and scores iof others prominent in the official life of the Icapital. He answered j the writers that he was alive to the fact that they were indebted to him as the means of filling newspaper space during a dull season. . ———i"f ■i" ' ■-••• TMs la An Eaay Tod.

The fire originated from a gasoline stove when Mrs. Coleman was i absent from the house for a short < time. The kitchen was badly burned 1 and damages to the extent of fifty ' dollars was done.

The Clover Leaf Monday bee. r gan the use of modern motor cars, that is, cars propelled by gasoline engines and dynamos. The first service of this kind on that road will be between Marion and Frankfort, where they began today on a regular schedule. It is a wonderful stride and it is expected that this mode of power , will revolutionize railroading in the next few years. Speaking of the new service, the Maicon News-Tribune said Saturday: With the establishing of the gasoline trains the Clover Leaf will have six daily trains between Marion and Frankofrt, thus doubling their service. In addition they will have a train each way daily between Kokomo and Marion and in all probability more trains will be added in the near future. H. C. Webber, general agent '■ of the Clover Leaf, returned to Mar- ■ ion yesterday from Frankfort where , he spent several days with other offl- , clals of the road completing arrange- , ments for establishing the gasoline motor car service. He announces 1 that a large car owned by the General 1 Electrical company has arrived in Frankfort and that all is in readiness 1 for inaugurating the service. The regular two trip fares will apply, which are slightly less than the fares on the electrical lines, and the runs will be made in faster time than in the electric cars, with no stops between stations. The service which will be established Monday is expected Monday is expected to be only a step toward the changes that will mark the new era and it is thought that a like service will be established between this city and Bluffton and Decatur in the near future. The big gasoline train will make its initial appearance in Marion today when it will make a preliminary run over the line between this city and Frankfort. The train will carry a number of officials of the road and a number of newspaper men on its initial trip. The new trains will consist of one large coach which will accommodate seventy people. Each coach will be equipped with a large gasoline engine which wil be used to drive a large dynamo that will generate the electricity which will run the car. The engines will be very powerful ones and will be in charge of experts. o— Hero te RetW tor Warnan.
