4 Poison Turned His Halr.

Mr.. Louis Kosok Of Chicago is at the
county hospital suffering from lead
poisoning. His hair and eyebrows have
turned green and he fears that his skin
will turn the same color. Els life is IN
danger and the doctors do not believe
he can recover, his system having been
thoroughly poisoned. MI. Kosok has
been employed In the smelling depart
mert OF the American smelling and re-
fining works for several years. In the
performance of his special line of work
the man was compelled to inhale the
fumes of lead and brass. He has been
doing this for several years. A few
weeks ago he became iii and his
friends were startled to notice that his
hair was changing color. A few days
ago he became helplessly sick in the
shops and a physician was called, who
diagnosed the case as one Of lead pois-
soning. brought On by inhaling the
fumes. III ss5$ #

Mail CLERKS ~ ~
Aboard Steamer

Imagine working twelve hours every
day Tipping letters into cases of pig
eonholes at the rate o. ,270 an hour,
with the unstable deck of rolling
steamship for floor, and keeping this
up for six and seven days at a stretch.
That's what the sixteen mail clerks
composing the United States sea post
service do for a living month in and
month out. sz
Moreover, they have to work in what
is practically an elevator shaft, three
stories high and about fifteen feet
square. Ventilation is supplied by
blowers way down in the hold Of the
ship. which force the air up and out of
the portfolios on the third story or at
tic floor of the floating postofice. Elee-
tric lights gIeam night and day in
every nook and corner OF this elevator
shaft. for 1t Is hard enough to deei-
pher many of the addresses on the for
eign mail matter, even in the light of
years of experience and luminous
imagination, much less in a dismal
cabin tween decks.
The sea post service, now in its
tenth year, has proved such an advan
tage in expediting the foreign mails
that the postofIee department Is con-
templating the establishment of float
ing postofiices on two or more Allan
tic steamship lines. Already Sye Ham
g-American, four North German
Lloyd. and three American liners are
equipped with postal facilities, and the
Cunarders and White Star ships are
expected to be the next to carry ex-
pert sorters and address readers. In

North German Lloyd liners carry two |
mail clerks apiece. The men eat at |

employees Is rather grudgingly allotted.
Usually they are given a small room
below the berth-deck, lighted and ven
tilated by a couple Of portfolios, with
low ceilings and narrow berths. In
this "attic'' or sky parlor, as the clerks
call ii. the separation racks are plae-

labeled t'New York, /" Boston, . "Ohio," /"

one side of the room is a separation

are sorted, pair of small scales for
weighing them, and stamps for mark
ing supplementary mail
One deck below, reached by a mar
row companion-way, are the newspa-
per racks, great iron gridirons, with
big yawning canvas sacks suspended
beneath. Into these pouches the third
and fourth class mail matter is thrown
with marvellous precision and rapidity.

There has been heard a good deal OF
abuse of bicycles as the cause Of acci-

duction to the residents, but had the
appearance of being wealthy. The we'd

it he was thrown from his bicycle and

1 short distance into Tie wound IS hsr
back, but did not loczte the bullet. he
expressed the opinion that the wound
was very serious and might result IN
death.
William Chappell is So years old,
and native of Ohio, by trade glass
blower, but has been working for
George Mackinaw, a saloon keeper OF
Steubenville for some time. He serv-
ed term of fourteen months in the
penitentiary at Columbus for robbery
according to a statement made by the
woman. His wife whose maiden
name was Ethel Elizabeth Stewart, is
also a native of Ohio. and is % years
of age. Chapel lived with his moth
er. sister and brother-in-law on South
Church street, Steubenville. He is
tall, slim, has high cheek bones, dark
complexion and looks like an Indian.
He has two large prominent teeth in
the front of his mouth.
The toll-keeper on the suspension
bridge states that stranger came ov-
er the bridge about eleven o'clock in
the morning, and remarked to him
that if he came running back that way
with a cop after him, he did not
want to be stopped.

CHAPEL ARRESTED.

The information given to Chief
Clemans by the water works en-
ployes proved to be correct. Chapel
walked rapidly past that point going
north, but it appears that he also re-
turned. He spent portion of the af-
ternoon at a South Side resort, where
he was not known or recognized.
The officers believed that Chapel
was still in the city, and feared that
he would return to the Miller house in
the evening. They determined to be
prepared to effect his capture in case
he did so. Sheriff Richards, Capt.
Clemans; and Officer Walker visited
the Miller house about eight o'clock.
They were sitting in rear room dis
cussilg the case, and securing the
statements of inmates of the house,
when the door opened, and girl ran
excitedly into the room exclaiming:
Hes out there again."
The girl stated that Chapel came
to the parlor door, and said to the girl
who admitted him:
81 came back to finish her."
The officers stationed themselves so
as to prevent Chapel from escaping.
Chief Clemans entered one door and
Officer Walker another. Chapel at
first showed a determination to resist
arrest, but quieted down and accom-
panied the officers. To the crowd
which had assembled on the outside,
he said:
Get your rope; I'm ready"
Chapel did not see the girl upon his
return, which was probably very for
tunate, as he was evidently determin-
ed to kill her.
After being taken to the lookup,
Chapel gave way to tears, and talked
freely to Chief Clemans. His story
was that he married Ethel Stewart in
Steubenville last November, and that
he lived with her until she came to
Wheeling on Dewey Day. He came
down yesterday to induce her to return
to Steubenville and live with him. He
said that persons had been making an
effort to separate them. He claimed
that when he called, his wife refused to
talk to him, and he was driven to des-
peration. He said he shot at her five
times.
A little later Chapel called the Chief
to his cell, and said: Il done the deed,
and I'm willing to suffer for it, but
l am sorry for it now"
The warrant for Chapel was sworn
out before Justice Max H. Srolowitz
by Chief Clemans. Chapel was COM
mitted to Jail to await a preliminary
hearing, which will not take place
until the extent of the woman's in
juries is ascertained.

MURDERERS IN JAIL.

There has probably been no time in
the history of Ohio county, when
there were more prisoners in Jail
charged with murder. The present
member is five, and if Ethel Chapel
dies from her injuries, there will be
another. Following are the prisoners
referred to-:
Clarence Johnson and Hugh Devin-
ney, convicted of the murder of Nc
Laughlin, whose case is now in the
State Supreme Court of Appeals.
John Mooney and Frank Friday,
charged with the murder of James
Hervey.
Joseph Driller, charged with the
murder of Louis Dittmore.

RHEUMATIC PAIN AND POISON.
The Ideal Treatment Relieves the
Pain and Removes the Poison.

The first thing to be considered in
treating rheumatism and other dis
eases of the same nature. which are
characterized by paroxysms of pain, is
to soothe the pain. This is necessary
so that the patient may obtain rest
and sleep, and to rally the forces need
ed to restore health This was the
whole treatment not many years ago,
nature being relied upon to restore
the body to health. Modern medicine
has made great advance and has
ayailed itself, during the last twenty
years, of a combination of remedies
which answers every requirement in
such diseases, first relieving the pain
and then e&pelling from the body the
uric acid and other poisons which lie
at the root of the attack.
This remedy is Tongaline, and hum
dreds of physicians who use it con-
stantly In their practice report Won
derful cures by means of it, not only
of rheumatism, but also govt, nervous
headache, neuralgia, la grippe, lum-
bago, seiatica, nervous prostration.
spring fever, etc. All of these diseases
resemble each other in that they
spring from the presence within the
body Of poisonous waste materials.
Tongaline soothes by the power OF
harmless anodynes, and eliminates
through an extra healthy action of the
skin, kidneys, liver and bowels, all
working together to throw off the
poison. The ingredients of Tongaline
are marked on the label of each bot
tie. Any one who is familiar with
materia medica recognizes the value
of the formula at glance. and two
or three doses give convincing evil
dence of it's power. A book on Tom
galine can be obtained free from the
Mellier Drug Company. st. Louis, Mo.
