Serve an Injunction ON Disease

By invigorating feeble constitution,
renovating a deblitated physique and en-
riching thin and innutritious circulation
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
finest, the most highly sanctioned and the
most popular tonic and preventive in ex-
istence. 1t strengthens the stomach, rem
edies torpor of the liver and bowels and
gives a healthy impulse to the secreting
and dscharging functions of the kidneys
and bladder. Not only does it arrest and
prevent the recurrence of malarial fevers,
but it furnishes the only adequate safe
guard against them to persons who have
never been afflicted with those maladies,
but would be liable to incur them If medic
inally unprotected. 1t eliminates from the
blood certain impurities which the most
skillful pathologists assign as the exoit-
ing cause of those agonizing complaints,
rheumatism and gout. and it is. moreover,
an excellent remedy for an enfeebled and
overwrought state of the nerves and for
mental despondency.

A DOSE OF MORPHINE
ENDS THE LIFE OF ANOTHET
UNFORTUNATE WOMAN
She Chose Death Rather Than Eff
as Confirmed Morphine
Fiend

Another suicide passed out Of this life
by the morphine route sometime Tues
day night. This time 1t was a woman
who has led dissolute life. Only the day
upon which the act was committed she
had apparently braced up and had taken
resolution to tear herself away from
the use Of the drug which she knew was
running her life. But her good intentions
and new resolutions went for naught
when the desire for morphine came
strong upon her again and she yielded "a
its influence, not as she had yielded be-
fore, but with the certain determina-
tion to end all, and she did end all.
The name of the suicide is Mrs. s. D.
Ross and the act was committed in
lodging house at 419 South Main street.
The woman came to the place Tuesday
and was engaged as chambermaid.
When she did not appear to attend to her
duties yesterday morning her room was
visited. Mrs. Ross was found lying upon
her bed cold and dead. By her side was
bottle containing solution of morphine
and near it an ordinary glass syringe.
A letter was found in the room addressed
San Bernardino, who is now visiting an
other daughter in this city. The coroner
was notified and the body removed to
Kregelo & Bresee's undertaking parlors
The story of a sad life came out at the
inquest. The woman was only 23 years
Old She left her home in San Bernardino
at the age Of 1S and went to Arizona,
where she Travelled a rapid pace with
Il A1r,tA oIo
she was married to Ross. She returned to
San Bernardino about year ago con-
firmed morphine fiend. Her parents tried
to reform her and secured her commit
ment to the asylum at Highlands, where
she was treated and after two months
discharged as cured. She returned home,
but the cure was not permanent, and
after few weeks she was in as bad con-
dition as before her treatment
| She was again committed to the asy-
lum, where she remained until few days
ago, when she was discharged, the ply
sicians having pronounced her incurable.
Mr.. Wall then came to this city and Sc
cured place for his daughter to work
at the number mentioned. Yesterday
morning he spent with the unfortunate
woman. She did not appear despond-
ent while in his company, and If anything
seemed more hopeful than usual, saying
that she would work hard and try to
break off from the terrible habit which
had fastened upon her. With these res
olutions he left her. Nothing is known
of Mrs. Ross movements after this, but
it is opposed that after her father left
the craving for the drug overpowered
her scruples and that she decided to end
her miserable existence with a single
dose.
A letter was found in the room written
in an incoherent manner in which many
of the incidents Of her past life are gone
over. There were several pages Of the
letter. Mr.. Wall knows nothing Of the
whereabouts of his daughters husband
The funeral will be held today.
