HEAD OF ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DEAD

Pope Pius X, Grieving Over War, Suffers a Relapse, Which Ends In His DeatK Rome, Augi 20.—Pope Pius X, supreme head of the Roman Catholic ehureh,’ died this morning. Bronehial catarrh, superinduced by ghout and grief over the present war in Europe, was the cause of death. The pope was in his 80th year. The pontiff’s death was unexpected until late Wednesday afternoon, when he suffered a sudden relapse. Rumors that his illness was serious had been published Tuesday, but the Pope’s physician stated Tuesday night that the pontiff was in ho immediate danger. Yesterday his condition became critical. At one time it was believed he was dying, but he revived under stimulants and the administration of oxygen. Bells tolling in Rome, as a signal to the faithful to pray for the recovery of the Pope, gave rise to a rumor that death had occurred yesterday afternoon, and this premature report was sent throughout the world. The Pope showed slight Improvement later, but again suffered a relapse and the end came at 1:20 o’clock this morning. Grief over the war In Europe caused the Pope much depression from the first outbreak and several, days ago symptoms appeared of the old bronchial affection from which the pontiff had suffered in times past.*' On Tuesday Dr. Marchiafava announced that the Pope was suffering from a simple cold and that possibly .complete rest for a week would restore him to his usual health. The bronchial condition spread, however, and on Wednesday is was announced that the Pope’s condition was serious.

Witness Captured Who May Clear Heilig of Murder Charge.

Lowell Tribune. Albert Wiverly, of Cedar Lake, who was put under arrest with Jones and Heilig at the tirfie of the murder of John Mitch, and was afterwards turned loose by the failure of thtf grand jury to indict him, and ran away to keep from being a. state witness, was caught at the home of a sister in Momence, 111, last Saturday, while in hiding, and was brought back here and placed under SI,OOO bond, and will remain In jail until he goes before the court and jury in the Heilig case. After he escaped when the Jones trial was partly tried, and he was known to have skipped out, Jones went on the stand and swore that Heilig was not a party to the fight with Mitch, and that Wiverly kicked Mitch after he had been knocked down by Jones. That testimony would have nearly, If not quite, cleared Heilig, without a statement from Wiverly, and It is not known yet what he will swear to when placed on the stand, but it is quite certain he will not swear to anything to incriminate himself. For any Itcbiness of the skin, for skin rashes, Chap, pimples, etc., try Doan’s Ointment. 50c at all drug stores.
