BLEW OUT HER HEART.
Terrible Deed of 1Ilss Janette Reed at
mOntrOSe.

Fort Madison, April 16.-Saturday
morning at o'clock Miss Janette
Reed committed suicide at the home of
her brother-in-law, James Church, who
resides at Bricker. small station on
the Santa Fe, about four and one-half
miles northwest of Montrose, in ,Jeffer-
son township, this county. The young
woman had been feeling badly for the
past few days, and did not get up at
the usual hour with the family Satur-
day morning. Her sister and husband
We're out in the barn milking at the
time the tragedy occurred. As above
stated, the young woman was not yet
awake when Mr.. and Mrs. Church left
the house, and while they were away
the girl came down stairs with nothing
on but her night gown, secured Mr..
Church's shotgun, loaded it and took
it back up stairs with her. Upon
reaching her room She placed a chair
at the side of the bed and put a pillow
on the chair. She then placed the butt
of the gun on the chair and placed the
mnzzle against her heart and fired the
gun by pulling the trigger with the
large toe of her right foot. Upon re-
turning to the house Mr.. Church
thought he smelled smoke and ran up
stairs to see what was the matter and
there found the body of the girl as it
had fallen back onto the bed. He then
immediately called Mrs. Church, the
girls sister. The wound was a CHASTITY
one, as the shot had torn a large hole

in the body. Her clothing had caught
on fire, but the blood flowing from the
wound had extinguished the blaze.
The little 4-year-oid niece of Miss
Reed was sleeping in the adjoining
room, but the firing of the gun did not
awaken her, altho an old lady liv-
ing with the family who resided next
door to the Church home, heard the
noise, but did not know, of course,
what it was. Coroner Lehman, of this
city, was notified of the affair and inn
mediately left for the scene. He I'm
paneled jury and, after hearing
the evidence of the members of the
family and others, returned a verdict
in accord with the above facts.
No reason can be given for the young
woman taking her own life in this
manner. except that she had been feel
ing badly for the past few days, IS
was above stated, and possibly became
respondent on this account. She was
almost 20 years of age and was The
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew
Reed, of Montrose, with whom she
made her home until about one year
ago, since when she has been living
with her sister, where her death &C.

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public BY
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for time, but in order
to insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. It has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. It has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years'of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements bllt, solid facts

ADMITS HIS CRIME.
Waterloo Embezzler Pleads Guilty and
Surprises COurt.

Waterloo, April 1s.-A surprise was
sprung in district court Monday which
created something more than a mild
sensation. When court was convened
the attorneys for A. I. Breckenridge,
indicted for embezzlement from the
Perpetual Building and Loan associa-
ton, announced that they desired to
have the prisoner brought into court.
Sheriff Law soon entered with Mr..
Breckenridge, and he was escorted to a
seat near the table where sat his attor-
ney, Senator Mullan. When the case
was called Mr.. Mullan announced that
his client desired to enter plea of
guilty to the general indictment which
had been returned against him and
to throw himself on the mercy of the
court.
There was returned by the grand
jury which investigated the Brecken-
ridge case, four indictments. The
first was blanket affair, covering
the whole amount and the whole period
during which he was charged with en-
bezzling from the association of which
he was secretary. The amount is &c.,
334.7l.

HIS CLAIM TURNED DOWN.
In Retaliation Admiral Dewey An.
nounced His Candidacy.

Washington, April President Nc
kinley will send to congress at once
a detailed statement concerning the
failure of the government to pay Adj
miral Dewey $4,000 for his services as
a member of the late Philippine com
mission. This $4,000 and the fact
that it led directly to Admiral Deweys
announcement of his candidacy for
president is now the sensation of the
hour.
On account of the complaints of I'M
just treatment made by Admiral Dew
ey and the possible political conse-
quences Of his dissatisfaction, senators
and representatives are taking a great
interest in the matter and are express
ing no end of curiosity as to the facts,
which up to this time have not been
published.
The report will show that each of
the civilian members of the commits
sion was given compensation of $1O,-
900 for his services, but that compen-
sation was withheld from Admiral
Dewey and Major General Otis because
they are officers of the United States
and thus fall within that section of
the statutes which forbids double CON-
pensation.
The report will also show that the
law officers of the government, when
asked by the president for an interpre-
tation of these statutes, replied that in
the case of All admiral of the navy or
a general in the army compensation in
addition to regular salary is unlawful.
Admiral Dewey claims that senator's
and representatives have served on
commissions appointed by the presi-
dent, and have been given compensa-
ton in addition to heir salaries, and
be cannot see why he should be de-
prived of reward for his faithful serv-
ices as a member of the Philippine
commission. But there is a difference
in the eyes of the law between officers
of the army and members of congress
in this respect. The latter are not re-
garded as officers of the United States,
but of the state which they represent.
