The divorce evil seems to grow with every year. 7,5oo divorces were granted in the State of Ohio last year. We agree that there are faults on both sides, but the great problem is: Are those faults renedi- able? To great extent there is no doubt the conditions which result i'll divorce may be renedied Given dyspeptic husband and a wife suffering from female trouble and we have the ready made elements of divorce case. In view of the facts there can be very little doubt that many women look forward to divorce only because they seek relief from obligations they do not feel fitted to fulfill Women are not to blame. They have looked forward to their home life as a dream of paradise Then disease comes like serpent and destroys all happiness.
 Women who suffer with facilitating drains, inflammation, alteration, female trouble and bearing down pains, will find certain relief and cnre in Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription It so invigorates the organs peculiarly feminine and regn- lates their functions that they are estab- llshed in a perfectly healthy condition The old lightness of heart comes back :; there's light i'll the eyes and smile on the lips. The old irritation and nervousness are gone, and the husband comes to his home as a haven of rest and comfort
 ''I was troubled with female weakness. and after taking three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription I am free from painsn writes Mrs. May F.

taken to the morgue and prepared for a
post mortem examination. A descrip-
tion of the wounds was given. There
were four wounds, but only three of the
bullets were found. The first two
wounds were merely superficial. The
third wound was very dangerous one,
but the victim might have lived for some
time. The fourth wound was fatal, aid
would produce death in from three to five
minutes. An examination of the vitals
showed they were In normal condition.
DR.. Brant said death was due to gun
shot wound, entering near the umbilicuE
and tearing its way through the ..abdom'
inal cavity. The cavity was filed with
blood. DR.. A. B.Walker and A. @. Brant
of Canton and DIR. Cans of Massillon
assisted at the postmortem.
Here the prosecutor introduced the
clothes that Saxton wore on the night of
the shooting. The vest was closely ex-
amined. 1t was q black vest, made by
COpthorne.
"There are more holes in the vest now
than there was then."
zone of these holes seems to have q
discoloration around it, Can you tell
what caused itG" asked the prosecuting
attorney,
"It was made by the FIRE from the re-
volver," said Dr. Brant.
The coat was also shown to witness
and powder-marked bullet hole was
found in it, The coat was soiled, as
5axton had yomited before he died. A
little flower, dried but yet remarah bly,
well preserved, was still in the lapel of
the coat. The suspenders and the shirt
were also shown to witness who identi-
fed them and referred particularly TO the
broken buckle.

"Did yor see a sstohel thereH" inquired
Mr.. Welty.
"No sir; but heard of one," an
swered the witness.
This part of the testimony was ruled
out as incompetent. 1t is said that a
satchel was found by the body or near it,
and that 1t contained bottle Of cham
pagne. When Saxton was found the left
pocket Of his vest was filled with tobies
and it was evident that he intended to
make long visit.
DR.. Brant was excused after having
given some further testiu ony about the
post mortem examination,
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-04-13

"You have spoken Of the wounds ss 1, 4,
., 8 and A." said Mr.. welty on cross
examination. "You mean that that was
the order in which you examined them,
and not the order in which they were
inflicted on the body9"
"Yes SIR" answered DR.. Brant.
"You do not know in what order they
were Inflicted"
"No SIR"
Mr.. welty here read from the indict-
ment the description Of the wounds. The
first count in the indictment described
one wound. DR.. Brant said he did not
find wound fitting the description. The
description Of the second wound was read
from the Indictment. DR.. Brsnt said
that the wound described was the one
which caused death.

In September, 1866, he was married to

born: Charles J Edward g., Fred

During his business career L. V.
Bockius has been the model of the
highest type of business man and by
sheer force Of grit and perseverance, has
overcome the obstacles and tampta-
tions which encounter business men to-
day. He has been identified with the
most prominent industrial movements
in Canton and was ever ready to lend q
helping hand to anything that would
rebound to the progress and advance
ment Of his native city. Hundreds Of
employees working in shops with which
he was identified will testify as to the
worthiness of his character. His con.
nection with the Cemetery Association
has had much to do with making West
lawn the best kept cemetery of the
state. AS an original promoter of the
Valley Ry., his efforts have been Of
incalculable worth to the transportation
interests of Canton. Gold print cannot

her PASTOR
Does Not Come to See Her and She
Thinks He Has Denied Her
Religious Consolation,

Referring to the interview with Mrs.
George in the Jail yesterday, the New
York Herald prints the following from
L. l.. Redding as portion of the inter
view:
"How have spent the day. Much as
1 have other Sundays since last October
Unfortunately, religious serVices.are held
here only once fortnight, and-thi ia. an
of day. enjoy theE bible reading, the
singing and the spiritual, consolation.
Today 1 had my two precious boys, New
ton and Howard, with me during the
morning, and we spent several hours
resdiug the bible. rand praying together.
They are great consolation to me and
help me to bear up under my burden of
trouble. This afternoon refused to see
many callers, hut 1 did receive an old
school teacher to whom went TO- school
in Hanovertcn 81 years ago when was
IA years old. He is James Hudson, and
was good friend as well as preceptOr.
His words of good cheer haye.been very
pleasant.
"You ask about my pastorH That hds
been a subject uf sorrow to me, I have
been member of the Church of Christ
Of Canton. The pastor has evidently
accepted the horrible charge against me
as tie truth and has placed me beyond
the pale of Christianity. He is Rev.
Clarence A. Hill, and have waited in
vain for him to come to see me. always
thought him true follower of the Mas
ter, but he has Stunned me-even me,
the bumbleit Of his flock and the one in
direst need Of the help which can only
come from Him whom we all worship.
Perhaps my name has been erased from
the church rolls, but as I read the bible
that does not make my case hopeless.
1t makes me sad to know that those who
have expressed the greatest charity for
me have been those who knew me not in
hurch.'

More minutely describing the condi-
tion and position Of the body, to Mr..
Grants questioning, Mr.. Frazer said
that as they lifted 1t noise like groan
escaped from the lips, but Saxton seemed
to be quite dead.
On cross examination by Mr.. Sterling
Mr.. Frazer said that 1t was about eight
minutes after the occurrence that the
patrol wagon arrived. He said when they
got started 1t was the fastest ride he ever
had. They arrived at the scene about
three minutes after leaving the patrol
house. Mr.. Frazer also described the
wounds as best he could. DR.. Brant had
examined the right wrist as soon as he
arrived, and discovering no pulsation he
said Mr.. Saxton was dead.
"We found q bullet when we opened
his shirt DR.. Brant, believe, put the
bullet In his pocket. went up the steps
and onto the porch of the Althuuse resi-
dence. Just as got there woman
came on the lawn and said, There is no
uss trying to get into the house; there Is
no one at home did not try the door,
cut went around to the side Of the house.
1 did not Try to enter the house. The
night was very dark. / do not know
whether 1t was raining. do not know
whether 1t was foggy or not, but 1t was
very dark. Some people were standing
about the body, which made it darker We
could not see from the light that was
there. Other light was brought.
Matches were lighted. The lamp from
the patrol wagon was also brought. Then
we saw who it was, though we had been
informed before that. do not remem-
Der that there was any light from a
street lamp. l do not know whether
there. was a street lamp nearer than Tus-
carawas street. The most light came
from lamp in grocery store across the
street"
MIR. Frazer's testimony was most i'm
portant because of the light 1t shed con-
cerning the darkness in the vicinity of
the body. Witnesses who are said to
have seen the shooting win be called,
and 1t is pertinent to know just what
the conditions were and how well they
could see.
