Lindell railway entrance 10 Lower
Grove Park. The right temple OF each
wal pierced by bullet, which caused
great How OF blood. About = o'clock

Renlsch, who ia pr6ssman, show that
he was about to leave -. Louis to look
for work aad WIS most probably going
to New York aud did not expect TO re-
turn for TWO wears. They were lovers
aud had evidently struggled hard to
give up each other, but thought death
preferable to separation.
Reniich was married man. Some
time ago he became entauged in an
affair with young woman and 1t is
said, was compelled to marry her in
court. lie never lived with her, how.
ever. Lately hs has been keeping com.
pAny with Miss Bowm IN opposition to
the will OF the lAtter's parents. Tho
presumption is that the couple went to
the park and mutually agreed to end
their lives.
Miss Bowin was an accomplished
daughter OF Joseph Bowin, orgauist aud
musical instructor a: st. Johns Catholic
church, and was about sixteen years OF
age. The romans OF both were taken
to the mOTgue.

We would like to look into the pleasant
face OF some one who had never had any de-
rangement of the digestive organs. We see
the drawn and unhappy faces of dyspeptics
in every walk of life. 1t is our national dis
ease, and nearly all complaints spring from
this source. Remove the stomach difficulty
and the work is done.
Dyspe ptics and pale thin people are liter
ally starving, because they don't digest their
food. Consumption never develops in people
of robust and normal digestion. Correct the
wasting and loss of flesh and we cure the die
ease. Do this with food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial contains al
ready digested food and is a digester of food
at the same time. Its effects are felt at once.
Get pamphlet of your druggist and learn
about 1t.
