Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j. Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are
permitted to make this extract: II have
no hesitation in recommending DR..
Kings New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvellous in the case of
my wife. While l was pastor of the
Baptist Church at River junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding l., Grippe. Terrible par
oxysms of coughing would last hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DR.. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results" Trial

LOVED THE YOUNG WIFE.

An attempted murder and suicide
startled the village of Ivyland, Pa.
Tuesday evening. A demented man, who
had fallen in love with the young wife
of another, tried to kill the husband in
order to secure the fair one for a prize.
Christian Heminger, a shoemaker
is years of age, who lived alone in his
saop. and who has been considered
somewhat demented, seriously wound.
ed Station Agent Frank Shoeler aud
then put bullet into his own brain to
escape arrest. Heminger's mental de-
rangement was particularly noticeable
iu his actions toward woman. Some
time since his attentions to a young
lady of the village, it is said, forced her
10 stay in the house to escape. Hemin.
ger then went to Doylestown, Pa, to
consult lawyer ss TO how he could get
to see her. The lawyer told him
10 60 home and leave her alone. ST. :
ton Agent Shoeler and wife, pretty
young woman, have frequently passed
tue shoemaker's shop on their bicycle
tiips and the sight of the happy young
couple seemed always TO anger him.
Tuesday evening as Shoeler passed the
shop clone Heminger came out with a
revolver and fired two shots at him.
Que OF the bullets struck Shoeler in the
mouth, Knocked out several teeth and
passed through his cheek.
Hcmnger then smut himself in his
shop. The shooting attracted crowd,
nut they were afraid to attack the
shoemaker. A warrant was sworn out
aud Constable James NJ. Knight and
Harry Ramsey determined to arrest the
wouH-be murderer. They found the
door locked, but the crowd assisted in
breaking it open, and then all left but
the constable and Ramsey. When
they entered the shop they saw Hem
niger oy the light of the lantern they
carried sitting on the edge Of a bed,
with a revolver in his hand.
AS Constable Knight took hold of
one hand Hemnger placed the muZzle
of the revolver in his mouth and fired.
The conclusion eXtinguished the light
in the lantern, and in order to prevent
the shoemaker from doing any further
lninry the men handcufled him. When
the lantern was lighted, however,
they found there was no need of man
aces, as the man was dead, the bullet
having entered his brain. 1t is not
known what was the cause Of the
shooting, but it is thought that Hem
niger had fallen in love with Mrs.
Shoeler, and thought if he got rid Of
her husband. he would eventually Sc
cure her. Believing he had killed the
agent, and fearing the consequences
upon arrest, he took his own life. Upon
examination another revolver was
found in his trunk, together with 800
and some valuable papers. Heminger
resided iu Doylestown until two years
ago, when he moved to Ivyland, where
he bought the property where he lived.

"MY PAPA IS ASLEEP AND
WON'T WAKE UP"

The seven-year-old daughter OF An
drew ]. Bernier, of No. 621 Main street
Paterson, N. j., saw her father lying on
the floor of his bedroom late yesterday
afternoon. She is but wee, little girl
but is the oldest of five motherless
children.
Since Mrs. Bernier died, two years
ago, this child has tried to be helpful
about the house, and has developed q
capacity beyond her years. She knew
that her father was subject to violent
headaches, and, although she had never
before seen him prostrate except upon
his bed or on the lounge, she was not
frightened.
Bending over him, she rubbed his
hands, the coldness of which meant
nothing to her intelligence. She won
dered, perhaps, why he did not open
his eyes, but she kept at work over him
just the same.
The other children stood helplessly
about as she chafed the wrists, and one
of her little brothers brought some
vinegar in glass at her request. With
this she bathed the mans face.
For two hours she lato.ed, but there
was no reward for her efforts. AT last
she felt that she must call in outside as
sistance She was still without sus-
picion of the truth as she ran to the
door of neighbor.
"Please, ma'am," she said "papa is
asleep and l can't wake him up" The
neigbbor found that Bernier was in his
last sleep, and, taking the children to
her own room, notified the police.
County Physician johnson believes
Bernier took dose of carbolic acid. A
half-empty vial was found in his room.
He was elk warper, forty years of
age, but recently had been out of en-
ployment. Two months ago he visited
his wife's grave and since then he has
been respondent.
Yesterday morning he marshalled all
his children and took them to the
grave. He prayed there loudly and
earnestly. 1t was late in the day when
he returned with them to bis home
and, as the little girl thought, went to
sleep."-N Y. Journal

A GAY YOUNG MAN.
Robbed the Oxford Hotel In Denver and Sur
renders In New York.

New YORK, N. Y, October 23. -
A well dressed young man walked into
the detective bureau, last night, and
told the detective in charge, that he
wanted to surrender himself, that he
had stolen $1,000 from the safe in
the Oxford hotel, at Denver, Colo,
about two weeks ago. When asked
his name, the young man said he was
John ID. Hinde and that he had been
employed as clerk in the hotel.
Hinde's story was at FIRST doubted, but
the chief of police Of Denver was wired
to, and an answer came back that
Hinde was telling the truth. The
police we're asked to detain him until
requisition papers rrrived. Hinde was
taken to the court this morning and re-
manded.
From Denver, Hinde went TO Chica-
go, where he says he "blew" himself
in great STYLE. Women and wine soon
exhausted his money and on his arri-
val here. yesterday, he found himself
almost penniless.

CovINGToN, Kentucky, October 49,
John G. Carlisle, secretary of the treas
ury, spoke here to large audience.
This is his home and naturally people
were very enthusiastic, although his
policy as secretary of the treasury has
been very unpopular with many of his
old time democratic friends, who had
expected him to have will and a
mind of his own on any question that
camo up. Carlisle was the guest of
his brother, who is postmaster of Gov
ington. During the course of the
speech, some of the hot-heads In the
audience acted very disrespectful to-
ward the speaker, and it is said that
eggs were thrown. But careful inves
tigation, this morning, proves that no
eggs were thrown. Carlisle was nue.
chagrined over the treatment he he
received at his old home, but has the
satisfaction of knowing that the better
class of people treated him with the
respect due to him as friend and
neighbor.
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, October 25
The following telegram signed by
George M. Davis, chairman Of the ma
tIonal democratic state committee, and
fifty leading citizens, democrats and
republicans, including Major Tcdd,
was sent to Carlisle at Covington:
sYou will have such complete protec-
tion against insult and 30 grand an
ovation when you come to Louisville,
as will forever wipe out the attempt of
last night, to destroy free speech, and
dishonor the fair name of Kentucky,
