Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be a Benefactor TO Weakened
Mankind.

Mdnhlud.
There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overhoWs WIN
generosity that he cannot rest until MS
discovery is known to the world, IN ordei
that his fellow men may profit by what
ne has discovered. 1t is upon this primer
ple that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them or any
form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and ylgor. As
it costs nothing to try the experiment II
would seem that any man. suffering win
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
yigor. without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combl-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
il would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such remedy at once. A re-
quest TO H. G. Odds. Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan. stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use of the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery.
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Olds that he may know how you came TO
write him.

passing, and after they passed. and a
second later some men jumped from the
wason and rushed toward the crowd,
and without another word. pitched In.
She and her friend saw that Trouble
was imminent, and they gat away as
soon as possible. Her attention was
attracted first to the crowd by the noise
coming forth from the wagon.
The crowd on the road were standing
near the bridge across Boggs Run. The
parties fromithe wagon, in her opinion,
struck the 1irst blows. Afterward the
fight became general, and she passed
by, She thought four or five men
came from the wagon. The crowd from
the wagon were In their shirt sleeves,
She distinguished the opposing crowd
that way, but the first blow was all she
saw, There were number OF children
with the party on the road. The wagon
crowd was the attacking party, she
was positive,
Ex-Mayor Joseph Mahood then took
the stand, He was one OF the jurors at
the inquest. Mr. Mahood testified that
Mr., Earnest at the inquest had testified
that Pearl was on his knees, with
staecke ready TO strike him, when he
(Earnest) knocked Staecke down. thus
preventing him from striking Pearl. In
reply to Mr.. Parsons, the witness stated
that Earnest had sworn at the inquest
that he had prevented blow. while he
had said at the hearing that he saw
him strike the blow
John Blake, another juror, was called
and testified that Earnest had said at
the inquest that ne had struck Staecke,
and IL he hadn't struck him. Pearl
wouldn't have lasted two minutes, but
as witness remembered, Earnest had
said that he hadn't seen Staecke strike
Pearl, but had said that he saw staecke
with his hand by his side, holding a
knife.
The defense had a large array OF Wit
nesses, but did not call on all of them,
Joseph Andllnger stated that after he
was knocked down he knew nothing
until the fight was over. Mr.. Lafferty
who happened to be near the scene,
stated that he saw one OF the men In the
wagon have a board Louis Feisner said
Staeclke drew his children away from
the trouble,
Upon consultation between the oppos-
ing counsel, it was agreed to withdraw
the charge of murder and substitute
voluntary manslauehter, SO Staecke
will be tried on the latter charge at the
next grand jury which conyenes at
Moundsvllle october 1,
one or two other witnesses were call
ed, whose testimony was not altogether
bearing upon the main features Of the
case, and the hearing terminated short
ly after G o'clock. Squire Riddle held
Staecke for the grand jury, bond being
fixed at $1,000. Bond was easily fur
nlshed, and Mr. Staecke was released
There is a general impression that In
the event of a strong case being made
out against Staecke, the theory of self
defense would clear him. and there are
not many who believe he will ever be
convicted. The Wheeling members OF
his party extremely regret the occur
renee of last Sunday night. They are
highly respected citizens, and have
been placed IN undue prominence, by
circumstances which they had nothing
TO do with,
