RALPH DAVIS
NOT GUILTY.
Says Jury in Embezzlement
Charges at Malvern Last
Saturday.
-- I
Malvern, Feb. 12.—The jury1
in the case of the state vs. Ralph |
Davis, a Memphis attorney who
was charged with embezzling j
$10,500 in connection with frauds j
of the noted foot-racing gang at
Hot Springs, which has been on
trial here for the past two days,
i returned a verdict of not guilty
• this morning, after being out
one hour and fifteen minutes.
When the verdict was announc
ed the defendant and his aged
father were much affected and
1 after the jury had been dis
charged they sought out the
jurors and thanked them for the
verdict. The concensus of opin
ion is that the evidence did not
warrant a conviction.
The case of the state versus
Ralph Davis, charged with per-!
jury in a certain trial at Hot j
Springs in connection with the
notorious foot-race cases, and |
which was brought to Malvern
on a change of venue, was nolle
prossed on motion of the prose
cuting attorney this morning im-;
mediately after the verdict of!
acquittal was rendered by the!
jury in the embezzlement case.
This ends the litigation in this
court of all the cases growing
out of the famous fake foot-race
scheme. j

COZY HOIVjE FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plans a
Comfortable Refuge for
the Aged.
Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest
tramp in America, who several y ears
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a western rah
road magnate, as a result of a wager
that Hans could not w alk from Tacoma
; to Panama in eight months, is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly received $25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sw eden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johnson
was in New York, and, while talking
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps’ home with his money.
He says that he will build his home
somewhere in New England. I asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
fun to be a tramp.
"He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to live
in when he gets too old to catch freights,
so long as he had to build himself a home,
he declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of his
friends. He told me that he knew 5,000
tramps on the road in the United States.
Some of these friends of his, he ex
plained, are getting old and stiff and
cannot tramp much longer.
“He plans to put all of his money in
this home for his friends. After it is
built, he argues that by a little work,
such as broom making or mending chairs
or something of that kind, the 25 tramps
who reside within can pay running ex
penses. When I asked him how soon he
is going to build this home he said that
he is looking for a suitable place, and
that as soon as he finds one he will take
his money out of the bank and build.”
MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPE
Magnificent Volume 16 Be Sent by
Childfen of New Orleans
Parish to Pius X.
The exquisite album which is to be
presented to his holiness, the pope, by

church, of New Orleans, has been
finally completed and will be borne to
his holiness along with the magnifi
cent pontifical sandals, by Mr. Kelly,
on tlie occasion of the golden jubilee
of the immaculate conception.
The album is a work of art and a
thing of beauty. It is bound la
snow white antique silk, and the cor
ners and clasps are of pure gold
Near the left-hand lower corner ot
the cover is the pope’s crest, whil«
Across the upper part of the cover is
the word “Autographs” in gold letters.
The album contains 50 pages. On
tne right-hand side of each is some
original poem, composed by members
of the sodality, and written in either
English, Latin or Italian. These
pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft
er the manner of the middle ages, antf
the decorations on no two are alike.
On the opposite side of the pages there
is nothing except some modest deco
ration. All the work was done by
hand by members of the sodality, ex
cept the chasing, which was done by
Walter, the college jeweler.
On the presentation page of the
album are the words: “To Our Most
Holy Father Pius X., Children of
Mary, Jesuits’ Church, New Orleans.
La., 1904.” On the title page of the
album are the words: “Golden Ju
bilee of the Immaculate Conception,
1854-1904.”

work.

Mrs. Adah C. Means, 49 Rossvill#

little son received a severe blow on hla
head, causing a “rising” or abscess.
After coming to a head it left a run*
ning sore which continued almost a
year. We tried everything we could
but it got worse. We finally tried
Paracamph, and after the first appli
cation the neck and shoulder broke out
into many little sores. I continued
the use of Paracamph and in just two
weeks the sore was entirely healed and
we have had no trouble since. I give
all the credit to Paracamph as I only
used about a half bottle. Paracamph
also cures nervous headache as I have
tried it with splendid results.”

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST.
What we hope to chronicle as
the last blizzard of this very se
vere winter and certainly the
worst of the year, swept fdowm
upon us Saturday night, Sunday
and Sunday night, reaching the
limit of its perversity about 7;
o’clock Monday morning, when j
our shivering thermometers, un-!
acclimated to such storms of;
cold, sought refuge and retreat
from winter’s merciless eyes in
the little bulbs attached as hiding
places for the sensitive mercury.
The result was 4 below; old
man Zero was not in it, and
though he might previously have
thought he could ever hold first
rank as a cold hearted monster
in this clime, his ambitions and
pretentions were most villainous
ly stabbed.
A valentine blizzard to freeze
j your heart thoughts for the com
ing year, the croker will say,
predicting hard times for philan
thropy and sweet charity. But
let It not be so. Let the world
you look upon this day rather
warm your heart for the many
sufferers not prepared for na
ture’s inclemencies and carry
them in mind as objects of your
sympathy and humanitarian love,
as valentines, whose lives you
may brighten and make happy
by some good act.
A BIG VALENTINE.
Nearly half a htullibn a^s of ;
government lands returned to
entry will be opened next Valen- j
tine day, February 14th. These
lands will be thrown open for al- ■
most nothing under the home
stead law known as the “Kin- '
kaid Act” in section lots of 640
acres each. They are located in

braska, tributary to North Platte
and Sidney, reaching along the
North Platte river for about sixty (
miles. As this is the last
distribution of free homes that}
the United States Government!,
will ever make in Nebraska,\
there will be a grand rush of j
homesteaders. In order to get a ]
good location, applicants should j (
be at North Platte or Sidney not ]
later than February 10th. j
