C. Z. Dupler. aged thirty-four years, OF

a chronic catarrh which he first discovered
six years ago. lu succession he lost his
smell, taste and hearing. The disease was
so malignant that it not only attacked the
softer parts, but destroyed the bony parti-

external parts He could only hear watch
ticking by holding it close to his ear. He
suffered intense pain in the nose, from which
green, dry clots Of offensive odor fell. In
this condition he presented himself to DR.,
Hartman several months ago. He can now
hear watch eight inches from his right
and six inches from his left ear. His taste
and smell are again returning, aud the ex-
ternal part of the nose is quite well. Few
more grateful patients ever left physical II 5

which would be followed by that terrible
weakness, which was something wonderful. "
The suffering and distress of this lady was
indescribable and almost uncomfortable.
After all the physicians and medicines had
failed, and all hope had almost fled, DR..
Hartman was consulted, and from the first
day of taking his Peruna, the cramps and
all bad feeling left her, and now for over q

accordingly arrested and charged with the
murder of the girls.
For some time he was in constant danger
of being lynched, and this so intimidated
him that he made the following confession:
He was at home when the girls Wentthere.
he saw them go to the woods to pick hazel
nuts and followed them within fifteen min
utes afterwards. They were near the edge
of cOrnheld when he came up with them.
While talking with them he saw Henry
knappenberger passing. He then induced
the children to 60 further into the corn
field, and while the eldest was walking in
front Ofhim he shot her with q 22-caliber
ball, and when she turned around shot her
with 52-ca1Dre ball. killing her instantly.
The smallest girl started TO run, when he
followed and caught her. She begped so
hard for him TO let her 90 that he saws he
came very near allowing her to do So He
did let her 90, but knowing she would tell
he followed and caught her again threw her
down and cut her throat. II was fifteen or
twenty minutes after Knappenberger passed
before he shot the eldest girl. After kill
ing the youngest girl he went back to his
first victim, outraged her person and
then mutilated her body, to crerte the i'm
preston that it was the deed of a
Grassy man. He relates that the eldest girl
said nothing after he shot her. and that he
held his hand over the mouth of the young
est to prevent her cries being heard. He
says that after all these terrible occurrences
he went to the creek washed his hands,
threw his knife in the stream and went
home. When the fsther of the girls came
to his house inquiring for them, he wanted
to go and help search for them, but his
friends would not allow him. They thought
he was i'll. The 6end declares that he was
induced TO confess owing to the circumstau-
tial manner in which Henry KnapenbeTger
had accused him of the crime.
The prisoner was taken to st. Joseph,
and is now confined in the jail there, where
he is safe from all lynching.

SEVERAL SUICIDES.

And All Caused by the Failure of the New

Gus Results OF Specializing Cashier.
The New Jersey National Bank, of Bruins
wick, n. j., failed through the defalcatiOn
of its cashier, Hill. 1t was at first supposed
that IL would reach only to about $250OJO,
but on investigation il was asCertained that
the bank had been Heeced Of cool million.
AS soon as the defalcation was discovered
the cashier committed suicide. The direct
Ors Immediately began an OVerha uhng of
the books WhereupOn it was learned that
the President, MahlOn RunyGn, was i'm
pIicated. The morning following
this discovery he went TO the
bank and securing a copy of the
morning papers, he Neat into the room &C
cupied by the organizing directors, and be

his face, and he exclaimed, my God, what
will my children dO2p Passing q handker-
to the lap Of a director, and eXCusing him
self, went into the toilet room of the bank.
A minute later the sound of a fall was
heard. The directors rushed to the closet
and discovered the body Of Runyon on the
nOOr, the blood gushing from the CHASTITY
wound in his throat. Determined on sui
eide, he had cut his wrists deeply, the blood
squirting against the ceiling.
The dead bank president had $50 600 in
Government bonds. Hill had negotiated
same three days before his death. RunyCn
knew nothing of Hills dOings, trusting him
implicitly. The crush in Wall street in

RunyOn, although quite popular, was ig-

Upon the announcement of the death of
RunyOn to the clamOrOus mob on the out

the excitement was intense. Shall we rand

the agOnized depOsiUOrs. Farmers from the
country Joined the thrOng and shouted
for their money. The police hanked the
street and with difficulty quieted the rising
disturbance.
The scene at the bank beggared descrip-
ton. Blood had flowed from the room out
upon the marble floor, staining it at a dis
lance Of four feet.

city debt is now nearly two millions and
the bank holds it paper. The Savings

President Runyen, who committed sui
eide, was farmer 90 years old, and leaves
a wife and four children. He has been
president of the bank i've years. Runyon
was not regarded as Of much consequence
