ITW AS SUICIDE.
Chas. johnson, Missing Ebro Set
tier, Found Dead In a Swamp
Friday---Was Demented.

Last week we mentioned the
disappearance of Charles John
son and the burning Of his home
and grain stacks near Ebro. This
week we learn that the common
impression then that he had set
the fires himself before going
into the woods to make away
with himself has been verified.
For nearly a week hunting
parties of his neighbors have
been searching for him without
success. Some Indians saw him
last Friday running through the
woods like a madman. The same
day his body was found in a
dense swamp with q wound in
his breast, evidently produced
by the rifle which was found in
his own hands.
An inquest was held Saturday,
and a verdictof suicide was rem
dered. The remains were buried
in the Town of Popple. Mr..
johnson was a widoWer, and a
daughter is the only relative in
this country He has held down
a homestead near Ebro for a
number Of years, was respected
by his neighbors and has never
displayed any signs Of insanity.

On September 20 neighbors
saw a fire blazing in the8direction
of Johnson's home. Knowing
that he could not yet be burning
any straw stacks, as his thresh-
ing was notyet done, several Of
them ran over to Investigate.
They found his house, which was
a very comfortably sized dwell
ing, nearly burned to the ground,
and setting Of wheat that stood
some distance away, almost en-
tirely consumed.
No trace of the owner was
found, and along about noon
when the ruins were cooled a
search was made Of the ashes,
but no evidence that Mr.. John
son had been burned in his house
could be found.

The question is, are the conditions
which determined the strength or weak
ness of the child unalterable? Is it
possible that a mother who has borne
several children and lost them all be-
cause of inherent weakness, can be so
strengthened that her children shall be
healthy and hardy?
READ THE ANSWER
to that question, written by a woman
who is certainly competent to speak as
to the remarkable strengthening power
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

look at my little boy I feel it my duty to

any way and this time l just thought 1
would try your Prescription took
nine bottles, and to my surprise it
carried me through and gave us as fine
a little boy as ever was. Weighed ten
and one-half pounds. He is now five
months old, has never been sick a day,
and is so strong that everybody who secs
him wonders at him. He is SO playful
and holds himself up so we'll. So many
have asked me, DO you think those
are the testimonials of the people, or has

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Strike at the Riverside Remains I'm
settIed-Conferencc To-Day Be-
tween Benwood Iron Works Off,
cials and Heaters.
1t is learned from a reliable source
that there were no new developments
yesterday in the strike situation at the
Riverside tube works, in which about
forty testers" and '~bundlers' are con-
cerned and which has caused two of
the Bellaire heating furnaces to close
down. AS far as can be learned the
men struck last Tuesday because the
company refused to recognize the re-
quest that the wages Of some be in
creased from $1.35 to $3.50 per day and
the wages of others from $3.50 to S1.75
per day. There are prospects that the
difficulty will be amicably settld in a
few days. quite a number of men en-
ployed in the two heating furnace de-
partments have been compelled to quit
work as a result of the strike.
The heaters employed at the Wheel
ing steel and iron works in Benwood
received their wages last Saturday and
it is reported that upon opening their
envelopes, they were surprised to find
a shortage, amounting in some in
stances to $3.50 a day on an average.
The men state that they are not af-
iliated with the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, but claim that by the terms
of their agreement with the company
they were to receive prices on a basis
with the Associations scale and that
they were to be given two weeks no.
tice of any change in the scale that
might be contemplated by the com
pany. 1t was stated yesterday that a
conference between the company and
the heaters will be held to-day. There
were prospects that a satisfactory
agreement would be reached.

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected FOod-It Pays

If parents will give just a little in
t~elligent thought to the feeding of
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will paw,
many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes saying, Our chill
dren are all so much better and
stronger than they have ever been since
we made a change in the character Of
the food. We have quit using potatoes
three times a day with coffee and so
much meat. Now we give the little
folks some fruit, either fresh, stewed,
or canned, some Grape Nuts with
cream, occasionally some soft boiled
eggs, and some Postum Food Coffee
for breakfast and supper. Then for
dinner they have some meat and vege-
tables. 1t would be hard to realize
the change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, i understand, exist in
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
A short time ago my baby was teeth
ing and had a great deal of stomach
and bowel trouble. Nothing seemed
to agree with him until L tried Grape
Nuts softened and mixed with rich

There was a meeting last night of the
board Of directors of the Board of
Trade Building Company at Secretary
Thompson's Office, to take action on
the plans for the new theatre. The
plans as far as they have been drawn
have been approved. That is to say
the general plans of the structure and
the plans Of the theatre itself are most
satisfactory. However the other part
of the building will have to be so con-
structed so as to accommodate prospec-
tive tenants. The directors are excep-
tionally we'll pleased with the work Of
Mr.. Franzheim and Mr.. Faris. They
fell assured that no better work could
have been secured anywhere. MIR.
Franzheim is the architect and his
ideas are carried out in all designing
Mr.. Faris is the associate architect, a
most able assistant.
At last nights meeting the board
did not appoint a building commit
tee, but constituted itself a Building
committee of seven. Aside from ap-
proving the plans the board merely
| passed on routine business. The next
meeting will be held on Thursday, the

for final acceptance.
