A FAMILY POISONED.
Wife and Two Children Found Un-
conscious, but They Recover.

I. X. Larkins, cook at Lige Wilson's
lunch counter, went 70 bis home
three doors east Of Seymour's livery
barn, late Monday Afternoon aud
found his wife and two children, 3 and
years OF age respectively, lying Oh the
bed in stupor. He attempted to
awaken them, but could not. Seeing
that something serious was the mat
ter, LaIkins ran up town aud hastily
summoned DrS, Reid & Locke and Dr.
Emerson. The physicians admins
tered emeticS and soon had the mother
and her children out of danger.
They pronounced the ailment arSeli-
cal poisoning.
Mr.. Larkins, the husband, is appar-
emily totally at loss to account for
the poisoning He had not been home
since morning, and it was by accident
that he went home when he did on
Monday. When he entered the room
he found his wife lying in stupOr
upon one of the beds, with her eyes
wide open and rolling. The two
children were lying un another bed in
the same room, apparently in sound
sleep. All efforts to awaken them
were fruitlesS, until the physicians
arrived. From his wife LarkinS
learned that Monday about II O'Clock
she aud the children became sick and
lay down on the beds They soon
became unconscious, and undoubtedly
would have died had Mr.. Larkns not
discovered them when he did,
How the family came to be poisoned
seems to be mystery. They ate
nothing Monday morning except
some bacon, pancakes, butter and
milk. The bacon and flour we're kept
in place where it is an impOSsibility
for rats and mice to get TO it, so the
theory that poison was carried by
rats or mice will not hold good. A
thorough search by the physicians
Monday failed to reveal poison o!
any nature whatever on the premises.
1t was learned Tuesday that Mrs.
,Larkins and children showed symp.
toms Of arsenical poisoning last
Thursday night, but it was not OF ID
violent nature and no physician was
summoned. Mr.. Larkins does not be-
lieye that his wife attempted sui
eide, as the family has had no domes-
tic trouble Of any kind. Larkins has
been in Wellington since last June
His family arrived from northern
Missouri about three months ago.

For years there has been a smoking

miles north and east OF town. 1t has

He is hopeful! of establishing the
identity of the cloak, also found in
Douglass possession.
The shoes have been identified by
Mr.. Hitchcock, the Belle Plaine gen.
eral merchandise merchant. The
brand and cost mark prove beyond a
doubt that the shoes were taken from
his store. Douglass had attempted
to erase the cost mark on the shoes,
but the impress of the pencil corld

varied work on any one voyage. 1t IS

earth, from all considerable heights,

many, but by no means ALL aerial trav-

more or less with the sense of hear

Deaths BetrothaI.

A few years ago a New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic rs Marriage a Failure a1 The
answer is easy and upon the surface Where
there is mutual love and respect if there is
also health, marriage is a success. When
health is left out even the most ardent love
does not count and marriage is invariably
failure.
Modern science has cried the warning
so often that all should realize the dangers
of wedlock to people in ill-health In a
case of this kind death turks on every side
lin the kiss of betrothal and the caress of
the honeymoon. The man who is suffering
from ill-health is physical bankrupt and
has no right to condemn woman to be his
nurse for life and the mother of babes that
inherit his physical weakness. DR.. Pierce's

the digestive organism. It makes it strong
and its action perfect When mans di-
gestion is all right his blood will be pure

will be strong and his health vigorous

Is certain to suffer from general ill-health,
and to be an unhappy, helpless invalid and

will be weak, puny and peevish. A happy
home IS an impossibility for her until her

OUT AND ABOUT.

There is something wierdly pictur-
esque in the association of the culin-
airy art with the battlements and tow
ers Of the Dread, that appeals to ones
love Of the dramatic almost as much as
to the sense of humor. If one is GO
ing to learn scientific cooking, there
is certainly no fairer spot in the city
in which to learn it, and If a noble
view has any effect on the mind of a
cook then the results attained by Mr..
Perky's pupils should be beyond criti-
cism The remark of New Worces-
ter woman that she could stir custard
and see five lakes at the same time,
suggests the thought that scenery and
cookery may not in the final analysis
be compatible. Mr.. Perky will sure
