Fort Scott. Kan, May 1.-At Hiattsville,
small village near here, half a dozen
people are in a dangerous condition as a
result of their treatment administered by
a handsome, stylishly dressed woman,
who came here several days ago and adj
vertised as Mrs. DR.. Alberta Oberlin,
claiming to be dentist travelling from
st. Louis. Many citizens visited her. In
extracting teeth she applied some liquid
to the gums of number of her patients
Soon after the operation they were in
variably taken i'll. their faces and hands
becoming discolored, their tongues swol-
len and their stomachS affected. Among
those now in a dangerous condition are
Taylor Pacton. pastor of the Methodist
church; Miss Myrtle Wallace. Miss Nora
Hartwell, Mrs. William Clark and Lizzie
Liddell. Miss Liddell is dying tonight,
and some of the others may succumb be-
fore morning. When the symptoms of
some of the victims became serious, local
physicians were called in, but despite all
their efforts the victims grew steadily
worse. When the local physicians de-
clared that their charges were suffering
from poison, inquiry was made for the
woman dentist and it was discovered that
she had fled. The prosecuting attorney
caused a warrant to be issued for her
arrest and kilograms for her apprehen-
sion have been sent in all directions.

Paine's Celery Compound

II NJ
1t Purifies the Blood as Nothing
Else Can Possibly Do

AS a spring remedy, Paine's celery
compound stands easily first in the
careful judgment Of the physicians of
this country.
This remarkable discovery by Profess
sor Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LII. d.,
of Dartmouth college, is in fact so GER
tainly first in the estimation of think
ing men and women in every calling
throughout the United States today
that there can fairly be said to be no
second.
For strengthening the sick, restoring
the spent energies of those who have
become nervously exhausted. for puri-
flying the blood and making people
well, Paine's celery compound has
never yet been approached by any sar-
Saparilla, tonic or nervine. 1t is as SUI
perior to them all as strength is SUI
perior to weakness. The remarkable
results from the use of this great
remedy are today known at first hand
in every city and village in America.
The people are today thoroughly sat
isfied by personal experience that
Paine's celery compound makes people
well.
Where the nerves have not been
properly fed and neuralgia, nervous
ness, inability to sleep, rheumatism
and such evidences of debility have
entered, Paine's celery compound has
created a new appetite, restored lost
strength and given courage, new
blood, and a strong, healthy will to
live and get well. Try it.

CAPTAIN OF THE CgATHIE.

ExOnerated From Blame, But the
Mate and lookout Are Censured.
Lowestoft, Eng. May 1.-The coro-
ner's jury which has been investigat-
ing the cause of the sinking of the
North German Lloyd steamship Elbe
after the collision on January 80, re-
turned verdict today of gross negli-
gence upon the part of the mate and
the lookout man of the British steamer
Crathie, which ran into and sunk the
Elbe. The two men mentioned were
found by Sharp, the steward Of the
Crathie, in the galley of the steamer
when the steward went on deck at {
o'clock in the morning of the collision.
Although on the port side of the
Crathie were number of lights which
the steward then believed to be on
fishing boats, they stayed in the galley
until the collision occurred. In spite
of this, owing to the absence of evi.
dence from the survivors of the Elbe,
the jury found there was not sufficient
proof that the Crathie was solely to
blame for the collision and on the ques-
ton of stand by the rule of road, the
jury exonerated Captain Gordon, the
commander of the Crathie. from all
sblame.

ordered the jury to bring in a verdict Of
not guilty on that specifica ton. He ed-
mitted that there was corrobora ton of
the witnesses. but the jury, he added,

men like Parker, Wood and Atkins,
whom Sir Edward Clarke, in the justice 5
opinion, properly described as blackmail-
ers. The justice also argued the jury not
to be influenced by Wilde's writings The
jury retired at 1890 D. m.
