Suicide at Columbus.

Columbus people were shocked to learn
that William Smith, mason living about
a mile out of town, had committed suicide
on Saturday afternoon, by shooting him
self in the groin with shot gun.
Mr.. Smith had been confined to bis
home several weeks with a complication
of diseases, principally dropsy, and had
been informed by his physician that he
could not recover. 1t is presumed that
this preyed so on his mind that he became
temporarily insane and while in this con-
dition he committed the rash act.
He was man well-known in the com
munity and highly respected. He was
about 40 years of age and leaves wife
and daughter eleven years of age, to
mourn his loss.

A1srnnnr Reduced.

| Vice Chancellor Grey Tuesday morning
heard argument in the application of DR.
Charles E. Woodward, Of New Egypt, fol
modification of the order directing him
to pay his wife $12 week alimony. He
reduced the alimony to 81 week, fixed
the bond at 1000, and ordered that if
this bond for the payment of the weekly
amount be given, then the ne exeat bond
shall be forthwith discharged.
Ex-Judge Wescott appeared for the
husband and Lawyers H. s. Scovel and
Boyle for the woman.
In announcing his decision, Vice Chan
cellor Grey said that as so often happens
in these suits growing out of the estrange-
ment of husband and wife, the statements
of each side are exaggerated and the truth
distorted by passion and prejudice. Mat
tiers testified to that ought to be easy of
determination and which deal simply with
the figures showing a mans income are
given coloring and form according to the
interest of the different parties. This
caused the Court to necessarily hesitate
in accepting either side. The doctor had
declared his income from his profession
to be about $3.50 year, to which he add
ed about 5000 received from his fathes's
estate. The wife and son declared the in
come of the doctor to be from $50 to 800
per week from his profession alone. The
Vice Chancellor said:
Il can't place sufficient reliance on that
evidence of the wife and son, because it
appears from their own statements that
they have not the means of knowing the
details so that they could speak with any
degree of certainty. Their statements
are largely those Of the observer and can
not convey any accuracy as to the truth
for which we are in search. | am satisfied
that his income is in excess of his own
statements.
He thoughts, 900 to 81, 200 year low
estimate of the doctors income He
thought his income from his fathers es-
tate probably $4OO to $500.
He made the order for 81 week ali
mony, reduction of S. from the original
allowance, and gave Messrs Scovel and
Boyle $25 more as counsel fee, making
$40 in all.

When your stomach begins to trouble
you it needs help. The helpit needs, is to
digest your food, and until it gets it you
won't have any peace. Stomach trouble is
very distressing, very obstinate, very dan
gerous. Many Of the most dangerous dis
eases begin with simple indigestion. The
reason is that indigestion (not-digestion,
not-nourishment) weakens the system and
allows disease. germs to attack it. The
antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
Strengthening, nourishing, curative. 1t
cures indigestion and renews strength and
health. It does this by strengthening the
stomach by helping it to digest
your food. It nourishes you. Shaker
Digestive Cordial is made Of pure herbs,
plants and wine, is perfectly harmless
and will certainly cure all genuine stomach
trouble. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents
to 81 90 per bottle.

STRIKES INAUGURATED.
Labor Troubles In Various Places
Plumbers OutatCIeveland-Mfners
in Pittsburgh District strike.

Cleveland, o., April 3. - Journeymen
plumbers to tie number of about 300
went on strike in this city for higher
wages. The journeymen are at present
receiving SO per day. while Junior
plumbers get s2.25. They demand $3.50
and $2.25 respectively.
Pittsburgh, Pa, April 3.-From 10000
to $4,000 coal miners in the Pittsburgh
district and 1900 in the Irwin district
went on a strike Monday. The cause Of
the trouble in the Pittsburgh district is
dissatisfaction over the dead work
scale of the indianapolis agreement
and was entirely unexpected.
New York, April 3.-Seyeral thou
sand men in the city, neighboring
towns in New Jersey and Westchester
county, N. ", struck Monday for in
creased wages and shorter hours. Most
of the strikers are carpenters and the
enormous amount in building in prog
ress favors the men. In the borough of
the Bronx the carpenters demand $3.50
a day for eight hours work, with a
Saturday half holiday, and in Mount
Vernon they ask 1928 for the same
work. In Newark, n. j., the carpen-
tiers demand two dollars a day for
eight hours. They now got S2.75 for a
nine-hour day.
ST. Louis, April 3.-Two thou
sand journeymen painters and 1900
carpenters refused to go to work Mon
day, pending an adjustment of differ
ences with their bosses over their de-
mands for an increase of wages. The
carpenters asked for an increase from
35 to As cents an hour.
