Is 1T MRS. LUETGERT?
Akron People Think They Have
the Woman Who Was Re-
ported Dead.

Akron, Jan. 23.-Mrs. Leutgert, who
in Chicago by the notorious sausage
maker Adolph Leutgert, is said to be
in this city, alive and we'll and under the
surveillance of the sheriff, who is await
ing means of positive identification
from the Chicago police authorities.
Sheriff Frank G. Kelly, who has the
case in hand, refuses absolutely to re-
veal the exact whereabouts of the wo-
man, but he insists that he has excellent
grounds for his suspicious.
Late last night two German residents
of the city whose names the sheriff also
refused to reveal, visited him at the jail
and asked whether there was any out
standing reward for information re-
garding Mrs. Leutgert.
One of them said that a German wo-
man and applied at his home ten days
ago and requested board and lodging
She claimed to be looking for work and
had as baggage huge trunk. She had
an appearance of responsibility and for
mer prosperity and was given lodgings.
She refused to give any information
concerning herself.
Sunday evening a friend of the host
ulODpSu III IOI al CIldl anu saw the
strange woman there. He had lived in
Chicago and knew the Leutgerts. He
had no sooner seen her than he took his
friend aside and told him that he was
sheltering Mrs. Adolph Leutgert under
his roof. In the mean time the woman
had retired to her room and when she
reappeared was prepared to leave the
place.
She was detained and the two men
went at once to the sheriffs office. To-
gether they called up Chicago police
headquarters by long distance tele-
phone, and relating their suspicious
asked for means of Identification as the
strange woman absolutely refused to
talk.
Sheriff Kelly stated today that the
woman Is being detained at the Ger
| mans home until word is received from
| Chicago.

If person is i'll and needs n medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to it's
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drEgs is a constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has ever
known has such record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, - No, we want
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"
We have thousands of letters like the
following addressed to Mrs. Pink ham,

AT THE PRICE OF A TICKET
From Canton to Washington and Re.
turn to Get Deposition.
ATTORNEYS HAVE A TILT.
One Side Was willing to Admit Anything
and the other side Wanted the Tes-
timony Direct-.A Case In
Which Undue L. fluenCe
Is Alleged.

There was a lively little tilt between
attorneys before Judge Taylor Monday
over the continuance of the case OF
Joseph against Ernest Wismar. Joseph
claims that Ernest by undue influence
upon their father Ernest Wismar, Sr.
when the latter was in a weak mental
condition, got him to deed his property
to Ernest and afterward make a will
leaving Ernest nearly all that was left
Attorneys Welty q Albaugh appeared
for the plaintiff and Robert Day and
Austin Lynch for the defendant. The
attorneys for the defense wanted the
case put off till they could get the tes-
timony of Dr. Richardson, of Washing
ton. The doctor had examined the old
gentleman and they wanted him to tes-
tify to his mental condition. The case
was assigned for trial Thursday. Mr.
Welty and Mr.. Albaugh did not want it
put off. I'VE want to go to Washing
ton and get DR.. Richardson's deposi-
tion,' said Mr.. Day. and we will have
to have some time to do it,"
There is no use in that" said Mr..
Welty I'VE can't afford to wait for
that and if his testimony is all they
want why let them make affidavit to
what DR.. Richardson will swear to and
we will admit it,"
We would prefer to have his own
testimony" said the attorneys for the
defense
I'VE will admit the doctor will swear
that Mr.. Wismar was insane and that
the doctor is a specialist" said Mr..
Welty.
THAT is your side of the case" said
Mr.. Day
well then we will admit that he will
swear that he was not insane. We will
admit anything you will put in an affi-
davit," said Mr.. Welty. Just write it
down and we will agree to it. 1t is no
uHe to postpone the case"
You ought to be able to make a
pretty strong affidavit under that"
suggested the court to the defense
I'VE can't afford to go to Washington
to take depositions of specialists. With
that money we could get two or three
specialists nearer home" said Mr..
Wety with a smile.
we want the deposition of DR.. Rich
ardson," persisted the defense.
Unless the counsel can agree among
themselves l will not continue the case
without the rule is cOnformed to and
a motion filed in writing" said the
court.
Then the lawyers put on their coats
and went out and Tuesday morning the
defense came in with motion in writ
ing to continue the case.

STEAMERS COLLIDE,
Vessels Meet In Vineyard Sound
and Crews Are Believed
to Be Saved.

Nobske, Mass, Jan. 23.-Two large
steamers, one of which is supposed to be
the metropolitan liner, Herman Winter,
and the other the British steamer, Ar
dandhu, were in collision in Vineyard
Sound early this morning. Whistling
signals indicate that at least one of the
steamers was badly disabled. Tugs
have been dispatched to their assist
ance. The collision was due to the dense
fog. The sea is smooth and it is likely
that the crews will be able to save
themselves without difficulty.

A high authority on railroading says
that with locomotives weighing 40
tons and upward and freight cars Of

proaehIng when all the old rails will
have TO be taken up and heavier rails

made now are not as durable as those

cooked and run into pigs, Is run fluid
