A MOST GRAPHIC STORY
It Is Taken Direct From Real Life.
A Charming New England Lady
Tells Her Experience Both
Abroad and in America.

The unwritten romances of life are
more wonderful and far more interesting
than the most vivid works of fiction.
The one we are about to relate occurred
In real life, and is both interesting and
instructive.
Mrs. Jennie Ray formerly lived in Man.
chester, n. H Her home was pleasant.
her surroundings comfortable. In the
year 1880 she visited England, and while
in that country began TO experience
strange sensations. At first she attrfb-
uted them to the change of climate, but
they continued and increased, until
finally. like many another woman, she
became utterly discouraged.
1t was while in this condition that
Mrs. Ray returned to America and her
home Thousands Of women who read
this story can appreciate the condition in
which Mrs Ray then was and sympa-
tnize with her suffering. Two prominent
physicians were called and endeavored
to do all in their power for her relief. In
spite, however, of their skill, Mrs. Ray
grew weaker and more depressed. while
the agony she endured seemed TO in
4.
physician who was called declared Mrs.
Ray was suffering from cancer. said
there was no help and told her friends
she could not live more than week al
the farthest.
And here comes the interesting part OF
the story, which we will endeavor to tell
in Mrs. Rays own words. She said:
Unknown to all these physicians, /
had been using a preparation Of which I
had heard much. I didn't tell the physi-
clans because I feared they would ridi-
cule me, and perhaps order its discontin-
uance During all the while that the ply
sicians were attending me the prepara-
ton was steadily and faithfully doing its
own work in its own way, and 1 had
faith in Its power. At fast the doctor
said there was no use OF his coming, for
he could do me no good. I had suffered
So much that I was quite willing to die,
but it seems that I was nearer relief
than I knew. One week from the day
the doctor last called a false growth. as
large as a coffee cup. and which looked
as though 1t had been very large, lef;
me. sent for doctor, and he de-
clared 1t was flbroid tumor, but ne said
he had never known one to come away
of itself before. I Immediately began to
gain health and strength, and I unhesi-
tatingly declare that my rescue from
death was due solely to the marvellous
effects of Warmers Safe Cure, which
was the remedy took unknown to the
physicians, ard which certainly rescued
me from the grave. 1t is my firm belief
that many ladies who are said to die OF
cancer OF the womb are cases like mine,
and IL they could be induced to use War
ner's Safe Cure, they, like me. might be
saved
The above graphic account is perfectly
true IN every respect. 1t is said that
truth is stranger than felton," and
When the thousands of suffering, help
less women who are upon the road which
physicians say leads only to death, con-
slider the story as above given, there is
reason for hope and joy, even although
they may be now in the depths of de-
spondency and misery. To such ladies
the above truthful account is willingly
given.

Clark Shot Her.
Nothing has been heard of Tom Clark,
the man who shot Mrs. Underwood, ex-
cept that the police officers found his
overooat yesterday down the street a
hundred yards from where the Shoot
ing occurred. He threw his gun into
yard near where Ghe shooting occurred
and ran away and it is thought that mis-
overooat was 50 heavy that tt inpeded
his efforts to get away, and pulling it
off he threw it as he ran. Some of his

concealed by his friends. However that
may be, he has not been found and no
one will venture to name the place
he is hi5fng or TO suggest where any in
formation can be obtained concerning
MIN.
Mrs. Clark, wife of the wouidlbe mur-
derer, says ehe doesn't know why Clark
should shooi the woman.
81 know Mrs. Underwood got my nus
bands money and 1 know that she was
working him" she said yesterday
Maud Garrel, a young colored girl ac-
uuaintance, said that she knew that
Clark had arranged with Mrs. Under
wood 10 run away with her. He mad
sold his hogs and given her the most
of the money and the day and hour and
method was appointed when they Should
snake the town and-be happy together
among strangers. But at the appointed
time Mrs. Underwood was absent and
when rer paramour called to ascertain
the cause of her delay, she backed clear
ont and wouldn't go al all. 1t made him
desperate and thus his threat TO klH
her. His own wife had left him and the
woman with whom he was madly IN
love and of whom he was insanely Jeai-
Gus had refused TO elope after sne nad
agreed to. and so the murder. HIS
money was gone and he had thrown up
his lob at Thos. Shaw's 10 leave the
town with Mrs. Underwood
II IS supposed by some that Under
wood and his wife were simply working g
Clark for what he had and that Mrs.
Underwood made him all sorts OF prom
;ses TO have him believe that she was
in earnest and thus make 1t easier TO
secure the money. the story OF the col
orei girl Maud, would seem TO bear ous
this erpposition and there is nothing IN
the talk Of the other parties concerned
that appears contrary 10 this.
II is simply case OF love gone astray
and the desperation of disappointment
and misplaced confidence on the part
Of Clark which led him to attempt muir
der.
Underwood vows vengeance II Clark is
caug1nt In Wichita or anywhere esle.
PHYSICIANS say that it Is probable that
Mrs. Underwood will recover and II
she does Clark may be permitted to
spend the rest Of his life In some out
of ohe way place in nightmare Of su.-
picion long after the affair has been for
aotten. He was jealous OF Mrs. Under
wood, according to the story OF Mrs.
Clark, and had threatened the lives OF
two or three men, which was before he
kne.y that Mrs. Underwood was only
encouraging him for the money he had.
All the circumstances in the case seem
to bear out the theory that Clark was
in love with Mrs Underwood, who was
simply working to get his money and
that when she wouldn't run away with
him it made him desperate and he shot
