O-I-C.

When a preparation has an advertised
reputation that is worldwide, it means
that preparation is meritorius. If you
go into a. store to buy an article that has
achieved universal popularity like Cas-
carets Candy Cathartic for example, you
feel it has the endorsement of the world.
The judgment of the people is infallible
because it is impersonal. The retailer
who wants to sell you Something else
in place of the article you ask for, has
an ak to grind. Don't it stand to rea-
son? He's trying to sell something that
is not what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra
profit out of your credulity. Are you
easy? Don't you see through his little
game? The man who will try and sell
you a substitute for CASCARETS is
fraud. Beware of him! He is trying
to steal the honestly earned benefits of
a reputation which another business
man has paid for and if his conscience
will allow him to go SO far, he will go
farther IF he cheats his customer in
one way, he viii in another and it is not
safe to do business with him. Beware
of the CASCARET substitutorI Re
memb Der, CASCARETS are never sold in
bulk but in metal boxes with the long
tailed '-C'' on every box and each tablet
stamped c. c. c.

a STUDENT KILLED.
Neck Broken by Fall of 10 Feet
From Water Tower.

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 20.-WhiIe at
tempting to climb an iron ladder run
ming up the side of the high water
tower situated on Mercer Heights, just
outside of Princeton, this afternoon,
Leonard NJ. Nash, of Bradford, Pa, a
student here, lost his hold, and falling
about ITO feet, was instantly killed.
In company with Robert BrokaW and
S. L. Moore. freshmen, from St Louis,
Nash started on an across country walk
early in the afternoon. It was just
about dusk when they were passing the
tower on the return trip. Nash, the
other boys say, left them without a
word and began to mount the trestle
work which leads to the ladder on the
tower.
The structure is about 120 feet high,
and Nash had climbed about half the
distance when Moore also decided to
try his hand at the feat. He had climbed
only about 25 feet, though, when his
companion near the top shouted: Look
out. am coming down"
Moore says that he heard a noise as
though somebody was slipping on the
iron and then he was suddenly struck
on the head by the falling body. He
anaged to keep his hold on the iron
bars It was quite dark, but he realized
what had happened, and hurried to the
ground where he found Brokaw, who
had remained standing below, bending
over the PROSTATE form Medical aid
was summoned as soon as possible, but
Nash's neck had been broken, and he
had been instantly killed

AMERICAN GIRL ENGAGED.
Prince Lichtenstein to Marry Edward
Parker Deacon's Daughter.


Boston. Mass, Nov 2O-News comes
from Biarritz of the betrothal of Miss
Gladys Deacon, of Boston, to Prince
Lichtenstein. Miss Deacon is Is, and
heiress to several millions. She is the
oldest of four daughters of Edward
Parker Deacon, who is now hopelessly
insane in an asylum at Waverly, Mass.
She has previously been reported en-
gagged to Claude LoWther, an English
man, but this report was promptly de-
MED by relatives, who now announce
that she is to be Princess Lichtenstein.
The prince is a rich young relative OF
the German emperor, and he first met
Miss Deacon in Biarritz. He had first
been introduced to Mrs. Deacon, now
known as Mrs. B. Baldwin, and he sue
cumbed at first sight of this beautiful
woman, but she told him to wait, re-
rninding him that he had not seen her
Oldest daughter. The next day he met
the handsome and refined Miss Gladys,
and his heart was lost to the daughter,
who had already captivated a score or
more noblemen. Miss Gladys, an Ameri-
can heiress, is unknown in her own
country, for she has not visited Boston
since a mere child but she has been
seen by many Boston society people
while abroad, and is said to be marvel
ously beautiful. After her father killed
M Abielle, the Frenchman, whom he
found in his wife's company, Miss Gladys
was sent to a convent to be educated.
Mrs Deacon has resumed her maiden
name, Florence Baldwin. She was the
only daughter of Rear Admiral Bald
win, who was known as the richest man
in the navy, and she inherited many
millions

AN AMERICAN BRIDE.
Hypnot1zed by Prof Donate Finally
Poisoned Herself.

Poisoned Herself.
New York, Nov. 2O.-A Paris cable to
the World says:
The death of Prof. Donate in lunatic
asylum near Paris recalls the extraord1n-
airy career of the greatest of European
hypnotists. At enc time he was fav-
ments upon Bismarck, the Prince Of
Wales. the King of Greece, and especially
the 4nfanta Eulalia, who was a reInark-
sleep.
Donate IA years ago became the hero Of
an unsavory scandal in when WldSiy
known Americans were involved me
beautiful young bride of Charles Rees,
whose maiden name was Lucille walker,
who had been married only one month,
went mad, and the dark, handsome Do
nato eloped with her to secluded spot
IN TyroL The husband traced them and
brought his young wife back, Whereupon
q profound sensation was caused by ner
declaration that she had been hypnotic
ally controlled, Donate having taken ad-
vantage OF his power to entice her away.
Lucille afterward ran away to- reJoin
donate IN London. He subsequently tried
to stab his wife through jealousy
Ever after that time the American Wo-
man was Donates chief lieutenant upon
the platform Her friends here still main
tam that she was the irresponsible tool Of
Donate because of his strange powers
Rees never would apply for a divorce for
that reason. Lucille committed suicide
upon the stage in Monte Carlo Casino two
winters ago, taking pruSsic acid during
one OF Donates performances.
