Boston, May 24 President Roosevelt will receive $10,000 from the estate of Benjamin F. Hadley. an eccentric, millionaire, of Somerville, unless the courts decide that a new will of

his is a forgery. When Hadley died, the 1st of December, he left a will bequeathing his large property to his intimate family. The document unexpectedly discovered, leaves the estate with the exception of the bequest to the president, to distant relatives in England. It will be contested by American heirs on the ground that it is a forgery.

Easton, Pa:. May I'.". Out on a back porch, overlooking the jailyard, two unfortunate women, mother and aunt of a political victim of religious insanity, which reached its climax at Nazareth, were sitting quietly looking upon the green sward. Mrs. Robert Bachman is a wreck of her former self, with deep rings of black around her sunken eves, that are eloquent of her suffering. Mrs. Henry Smith, the mother, is a large blond woman, who looked wonderins:ly at the warden and the visitor, but replied pleasantly but with the quietude of despair when spoken to.

These people style themselves the Devil chasers. Many strange and horrible tales of their inhuman and unnatural conduct

in the name of religion are now being told, and these stories are being recorded and placed in the hands of the authorities. Meanwhile efforts are being made to ascertain if the law will admit of such procedure as may be necessary to rid the community of them.

Next Meeting of Interurban Trainmen at Muncie.

HOLMES MURDERERS NOT COMMON THUGS

Were Men Who Assembled With Electricians.

Local delegates returning from the national convention of the Brotherhood of Interurban Trainmen, held at Wapakoneta, O., say that next year's convention will be in Muncie, beginning May 1", 1909. The convention this year entertained delegates from Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, principally. This is the organization with which the Indiana Union Traction Company signed a contract several months ago when it turned down the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, thereby causing a big strike over most of its system.

Chicago, May 24. Solution of the

mystery surrounding the murder of Robert C. P. Holmes, purchasing agent for the Commonwealth Edison Electric company, whose dead body was found in a downtown alley early yesterday, will disclose, it is thought, the operations of experts in crime. That the killing and robbing of Holmes was not the work of ordinary street thugs, but. was done by men who probably mingled with their victim's friends at the Auditorium, represented themselves to be delegates to the electrical convention, and then followed him as he left the hotel, police authorities agreed after working all day ou the tragedy.

Sleep

Sleep is nature's rebuilding period, when the energy used by the brain, muscles and organs is renewed. If you lose sleep, your system is robbed of the strength sleep should give. Continued loss of sleep multiplies this loss until you become a physical wreck. Dr. Miles' Nervine quiets the irritated nerves and brings refreshing, invigorating sleep. Nervine contains no opiates, and therefor leaves no bad after-effects. "For over two yearn I suffered untold aironles; ray friends thought I Was going crazy. T could not sloop nor reit at ivll. I tried different doctors, but failed to find relief. My head would ache all the time; I was like one drunk: could not concentrate my mind, and was so restless and worried that sleep was out of the Question. After taking one bottle of rr. Miles' Nervine I felt wonderfully changed. I am now on my third bottle and am gaining all the time. I can lie- down and sleep like a child, and am able to do mv work." MRS. MAY SCOTT. English. Ind.

Washington, May !!.".-Great, progress Is being made in the Pan American railway, according to Charles M. Pepper, who has returned from a trip through South and Central America for the department of commerce and labor. His report, submitted to the state department through former Senator Henry Gassaway Davis, of West Virginia, shows that during the last four years

hundreds of miles of rails have been laid in the Latin-American countries to drive nearer completion the all-rail route through both continents. The Argentine Republic and Chili

Washington, May 25. Cavalry officers are considerably worried over the poor outlook for promotions in that branch of the service for some time to come. At present there seems to be no prospect for ending the stagnation which has lasted for some time. Promotions in the cavalry were more rapid before the war with Spain than those in any other branch of the service. Last year in the cavalry, three lieutenant-colonels were made colonels, and in the infantry six lieutenantcolonels received their promotions. In the other grades the difference is still greater. For instance, in the cavalry, four majors were made lieutenantcolonels and in the infantry eight majors were advanced; five cavalry captains were promoted, and twelve

Infantry captains were made majors: twelve cavalry lieutenants were made captains, while in the infantry twenty-

six first lieutenants were advanced to

rank.

The league proposes to organize a Johnson propaganda in Georgia, and it is predicted that the movement will be suc
