Where Doctors Disagree,

There has been great deal OF disagree.
ment from time to time about the thera.
peutic value of sarsaparilla Iu the main,
althorities deny any particular medical
value to tbs plant 'IPs just an old
wives remedy" they say. And in the
main they ars right. There are about a
dozen varieties of sarsapnrilla scattered
through various countries, and OF this
dozen only one has any real curative
power. So aman whose experience might
be confined to the eleven other varieties
might honestly say there was little value
IN them.
The one valuable sarsaparilla is found
in Honduras, c. A. Monardes, a physi-
clan of Seville, records the introduction Of
sarsaparilla into Spain as result of the
Spanish discoveries Of the New World,
between 1875 and l54j But the root did
not accomplish much, But he adds, "a
better sort soon after came from Hon.
duras." 1t Is this better sort" that Is
used exclusively in Ayers Sarsaparilla
And it is the use of this better sort" that
has given Ayers Sarsaparilla prominence
over all other varieties by reason Of Its
wonderful cures Of blood diseases, Send

'ii'as A MANAGES CRIME. sssss
Father, Mother and Adopted Daughter
Murdered I'm Their Home.

mufuereo In Iuer home.
Pascoag, r. l., April ia horrible
tragedy was enacted yesterday morn
Ing at the home of Edward Reynolds,
on the Elisha Matthewson place, near
Sweet Hill. in the town of Oakland.
Mrs. Reynolds, her husband and adop-
ted daughter, Servilla, were brutally
murdered and the house was then set
afire, presumably to cover the crime.
Martin Mowry, the hired man employ
ed by Reynolds, who Is undoubtedly
raving maniac, was found hiding in
barn near Oakland, and at once placed
under arrest. The neighbors were
aroused by the fire. On reaching the
house 1t was found securely fastened,
with doors bolted and windows locked.
They effected an entrance, and in so
doing found evidence of a murder. with
arson to hide the crime. Mrs. Rey-
nolds body, mutilated and bloodstain-
ed. was taken from her bed by those
who were the first to enter the house.
The flames from the part of the house
burning spread so quickly that a search
for the other members of the family,
who were supposed to be there, could
not be made. Hours after, when tho
ruins or the house had sufficiently cool
ed, the charred bodies of Mr.. Reynolds
and the young girl were found. In the
meantime the local and state police
had been searching for Mowry.
The murderer was found in Leander
Buffum's barn, chattering and laugh.
ing like maniac. Buffum seized the
maniac and gave him up to one of the
posse searching for him. Mowry Is
bachelor, about 65 years of age. When
Mowry left the house he went to the
woods, where he shot himself in the
head. The bullet only stunned him,
however, and he did not repeat the
attempt. He then went to Buffum's
farm. Mowfy was W. 6 to talk after
his arrest but from his appearance
and manner of expression 1t seemed
clear that he was insane
