Public Prosecutor Finley said that
while he had made every preparation to
place Kerr on trial on the indictment

cept the plea Of non vult in view of the
statements made by counsel as to Kerl's
connection with the girls death, which
seemed to be corroboratcd by the general
facts of the case.
Kerr was then rcmanded for sentence.

HER FACE IN HIS HEART.
Bullet ImbedS LoCket Clarence e.
Hatfield Wore in His Breast.

Asbury, Mo-, Dec. 4.-To lonely
spot in the woods twelve miles east of
Waco, in this county, Clarence Z. Hat
field, we'll known throughout the south
as "Takkie Coution," humorous writer
and lecturer, was allured by decoy
letter.
He was shot and almost instantly
killed by an unidentified person.
A locket worn around his neck, con-
tanning, it is supposed, picture of bis
atfianced wife, was driven through his
heart.
Robbery was not the motive, as a
large sum of money was found on his
person.
Hatfield lived at Joplin, Mo-, where
he was interested in mining. He was
twenty-five years of age. A will was
found on his person giving property to
a lady living in Clarke county, Iowa,
but the name was erased with blood, SO
as to make the reading impossible.
Bloodhounds will be put on the trail
of his sailant.-Buriingto Hawkeye.

Brain-Food nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still an.
other for bone. A correct diet will not
only nourish particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, it's nutriment is destroyed by
Indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates the
liver to healthy action, purlfies the
blood, and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DIR. G. G.

called attention to the matter of the
using of sidewalks by the boys for coast
with the wagons which they have right
ly named "go.devils." l wish to thank
you for the suggestion that the authori-

and to ask that coasting with sleds on
the sidewalks be included in the pre- hib-
tory measure. Living on side hill
as do, realize the enormity of this
nuisance and greatly desire its abate-
ment. ~
