MISS CLAUSEN's TRUST FUND
How it was Disposed of by Hermann to
second Kand Dealer.

Salt Lake, Utah, May 26.-This has
been an eventful day in the attempted
solution of the Scandinavian Metho-
dist church mystery, and one that has
furnished very strong clue with ref
erence to the suspected fate of Miss
Henrietta Clausen. When the charred
remains of the human skeleton were
taken from the furnace in the basement
at midnight on Wednesday last, the
officers were bafhedsat not finding some
article of absolute identification. ,Chey
were informed by the doctors that it
was strange that none of the ans
teeth were among the other relI 5 Of ere
nation. 1t Was known that Miss Clau-
sen wore false teeth, and the doctsrs
said they would be the last to yield to
the terrific heat. In order to ascertain
if possible, if the missing teeth could not
be brought to light, a most thorough
examination of the furnace was made
today. Police officers carefully search
ed the furnace and found two teeth con-
tanning metallic rivets. This is regard
ed by the police department as being
the most positive evidence of murder
that has yet been brought 10 light.
A vast amount of earth was also re-
moved in the basement of the church,
revealing a number of bones. A certain
spot of apparently made earth soil
that bore evidence of having been dis
turbed at a recent date, was discov-
cred in the coal chute beneath a cellar
stairway. Into this the party dug and
Lot more than II or Il inches below the
surface a wonan'S shoe was found. The
removal of another shovelful OF dirt
brought forth very damaging evidence
in the shape of pair of overalls which,
it is claimed by the tenants of the church
were worn by their pastor while he was
engaged in laboratory and other work
The overalls were blood-stained on all
most every part. The young men
whose room was heated to such high
degree of temperature the day the min
;ster built the big fire in the furnace,
declares that HermanS had them on
when the latter was met by tnen in the
basement stairway with a sunnySack
under his arm. He said he also wore
jumper of like material at the same
time The furnace ashes on being sif-
ted were found to contain the requisite
number of steel buttons for such an ar
ticle of apparel and the strong point is
that they correspond exactly with those
on the blood-stained overal1S.

Cry from Southern Kansas That Crops
Being Drowned.
FORT SCOTT, Kan, May 25.-Another
two inch rain in southeast Kansas yes
terday, followed the heavy rains that
have fallen almost daily for three
weeks, has again swollen the subsiding
streams, and the railroads in many
sections are running through miles of
flooded territory which has kept above
water for many years. Large acreages
of corn, wheat and oat fields are still
flooded in different counties as far
south as the territory line. Farmers
are becoming discouraged. Much
grain must be planted over if the fields
get dry in time. Passenger train
service is very irregular. and many
agents are selling tickets on condition
of flood interference.

BACKACHE.
From the Press, NetD York City.


Few people have suffered more from pain
in the back than Mrs. Lille B. Newell of
No. 2313 Second Avenue, New York City.
For several years she was so afflicted with
this distressing malady that she was hardly
able to get around, and could do little to
care for her children which made her suffer-
ing all the harder to bear. Her husband,
Charles Newell, who is a well-known New
York optician, tried in every way to find a
remedy for his wife, but no medicine
seemed to have the power to remove her
pain.
Mrs. Glynn, a sister of Mrs. Newell, is a
professional nurse, and was familiar with
the symptoms of her sisters sickness Mrs.
Newell was away on Il visit when a reporter
called upon her, but Mrs. Glynn, who lives
at No. 416 East One-hundred and-twentieth
Street, told the story of her sisters re-
covery.
A doctor was called when Mrs. Newel's
condition became serious and he prescribed
small pink pills which, in a short lime, re-
ieved the wOman's pain as no other medi-
cine has done. 'sAfter awhile" Mrs. Glynn
told the reporter, 1--WE learned that the medi-
no af mors than Dr Wsms Pink Ps
for Pale People. Knowing by experience
how excellent a remedy these pills were,
Mrs. Newell bought some at drug store
and continued taking them. The effect was
most gratifying, for in six months my sister
was perfectly well and the pain in her back
was nothing more than an unpleasant men,
DRY. Both she and have recommended the
Pink Pills to other people, who have not
failed to find them all that is claimed. All
doctors my sister had been treated by. be-
fore taking the pills, had done her no ap-
parent good.n
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (neverin loose
form, by the dozen or hundredl at so cents
box or six boxes for $50, and may be had
OF all druggists or direct by mail from Gr.
Williams Medicine Company, schenectady,
n. Y. The price at which these Pills are
sold makes a course of treatment inexren-
sive as compared with other remedies or
medical treatment

TO WHISTLE AND slNa.

The Chippewa Falls (Wis.) Catholic
Sentinel says: IF the Irish land bill
passes. we predict ain exodus Of Irdshmen
from this country to their old homes.
Ireland is the only place where an Irish
man can whistle and sing and be truly
happy '
: Now that's a prophecy az is a proph-
ecy. If the Irish land bill passes there
will be no exodus Of Irishnen from this
country to the old country. They will stay
just where they are and be thankful that
their lines are cast IN pleasant places.
And as to the whistling and singing it
cannot be denied that the Irishmen in
this country do not have their share-.as
much as they could indulge in, even II
they we're placed In the choicest spot IN
ireland. Besides II conditions were made
acceptable over thereand the present
land bill and a thousand more Of the
same stripe would not accomplish it
Irtshmen would not leave America for
the purpose sof indulging their taste for
:Whistling and singing. It will take
something Of vastly more Importance
than the passage Of aland bill, no mat
ter how good, how effective and we'll
meant, to make the Irish happy or even
half way contented in the old sod. Eng
land would first have to be throttled.
That done then an Irishman might al.
tempt TO whistle and sing at the same
time, but until that is: done all the land

that they caused false reports to be pub
