Fit for the Hangman.

A horrible wife-murder was com
mitted near Bad River Station, Wis,
last Friday. The victim was the pref
ty 1S-year-old bride of Joseph Fuschs,
and the murderer is the husband, a
man of about 40 years of age. They
had been married about two weeks,
and made their home at Glidden.
About two o'clock Friday afternoon
they left on the north-bound train.
They got off near Morse, and a sec
ton foreman saw them walking arm
in-arm up the track. He was hor-
rified as he watched their actions to
see Fuschs strike the woman several
times with some deadly implement.
AS he approached, the murderer
picked up the woman and threw her
down a steep embankment. When
the section foreman picked up the
body it was lifeless. The murderer
fled to the woods. Examination. of
the body showed that the young
woman had been stabbed seven times
in the throat, and terrible gashes on
her arms and hands showed what an
awful struggle she must have had for
life. 1t has since transpired that
Fuschs is notorious criminal and is
wanted in Germany for robbery and
murder.

IN MEMORY OF ARTHUR LEONARD MoLER.
A little crib is empty now,
The little clothes laid by;
a mothers hope, a fathers joy,
In death S cold arms doth lie.
Go, little pilgrim, TO thy home,
On yonder blissful shore:
We miss thee here, but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
Tls hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart;
Tis hard. so hard 10 speak the word,
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we must lay the
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition OF the mucus lining
OF the Eustachan Tube. When this tube
gets intlamed YOU have Il rumblng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless the
inf tmmation can be taken out ana this tube
restored to Is normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness caused by catarrh,) that we
cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.
