A FAMOUS OLD ROUSE.

The house of Walter Baker & Co.,
whose manufactures of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es-
tabllshed one hundred and twenty
one years ago G7S0) on the Nepon-
set River in the old town of Dorches-
ter, a suburb of Boston. From the
little wooden mill, "by the rude
bridge that arched the food" where
the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishment of the kind in the
world. It might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and go,
Walter Baker & Co. go on forever.
What is the secret OF their great
success? 1t is g, very simple one
They have won and held the conf
dence of the great and cons family in
creasing body of consumers by al
ways maintaining the highest stand
ard in the quality of their cocoa and
chocolate preparations, and selling
them at the lowest price for which
unadulterated articles of good quail
ity can be put upon the market. They
welcome honest competitions; but they
feel justified in denouncing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent meth
DDS by which inferior preparations
are palmed off on customers who ask
for and suppose they are getting the
genuine articles. The best grocers
refuse to handle such goods, not alone
for the reason that, in the long run,
it doesn't pay to do it, but because
their sense of fair dealing will not
permit them to aid in the sale of
goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package Of the goods made
by the Walter Baker Company bears
the well-known trademark ''La Belle
Chocolatiere," and their place of man
ufacture Dorchester, Mass" House
keepers are advised to examine their
purchases, and make sure that other
goods have not been substituted.
An attractive little book of "Choice
Recipes" will be mailed free to any
housekeeper who sends her name and
address to Walter Baker & Co., Ltd,

AN AWFUL CRIME.
wealthy Farmer in Hin OILS Murders
His Wife as Result of
q Quarrel.

Bloomington, ILL.,, May 13.-On a
farm in White Oak township, this
county, near Carter, Sunday morning,
Merritt Chism murdered his wife. AS
the wife was starting to church in a
buggy with two little daughters of
Chism, her stepdaughters, a quarrel
arose. Chism jumped into the buggy
and with a knife cut his wife's face and
neck into pieces. He then threw her
into the road, jumped upon her and
stabbed her repeatedly. Her son,
Harvey Freeland, aged IL, struck at
Chism with ball bat. Chism wrested
the bat from the lad, and struck his
wife three times, smashing her skull
and dashing out her brains. Then he
tried again to stab the woman.
Harvey caught the hand in which he
held the knife. Chism drew the knife
through the boys hand, almost sever
ing his fingers, and stabbed him in the
arm. Chism then fed across the fields.
He tried to drown himself in a stock
well. The water was not deep enough,
so he climbed out He went to the
house of a son, where he tried to kill
himself with a revolver. The son pre-
vented him, and took Chism to Bloom
ington, where he gave himself up to
the sheriff. Chism is one of the
wealthiest farmers in the county. He
inherited 100 acres of land and $780,
300. He is man of quick temper, but
was never before guilty of crime.

MANY WERE HURT.
IroIIey Car Runs Away Near Fort
Lee, N. J.-Three Passengers
Seriously Injured

New York, May 13.-An open trolley
car, in which were packed about 115
persons, got away from the motor
man near Fort Lee, N. j.. and dashed
down Leonia hill. Every person on
the car was bruised, three were seri-
ously hurt and only one of them is
likely to die. Frank Sunstruck, the
conductor, it is feared, may lose his
life on account of possible internal in
Juries, and j. e. Robinson and his
wife, of this city, are the two others
who were seriously hurt. The heavily

The road is a winding one. At the
foot of the hill it curves sharply.
When the front trucks hit the curve
they started around it and made it.
The rear ones followed part of the
way. The wrench upon the car, how
ever, as it swung about was so great
that the body was lifted and torn
from the trucks and rolled over and
hit the ground. The passengers were
caught in and under the car and were
piled in a heap.

LUMBER SWEPT AWAY.
Flames in a Detroit Suburb Destroy
Yards and MiIIs-Loss Esti-
mated at 100000.

Detroit, Mich, May 13.-Fanned by
35-mile an hour wind, fire Sunday after
noon swept the west bank of the Rouge
river in Delray, suburb to the south
of Detroit, for three-quarters of
mile, and destroyed over $500, 600 worth
of property. Following are the losses:
Salliotte & Furgason, lumber mill, $50
900. covered by insurance.; Brownlee &
Co.'S sawmill, salt block and part of their
stock of lumber $45, 000 insurance, SIS, 600;
the Western Union Telegraph company,
loss on cedar posts stored in yard which
was swept by the 1lames about $600, 600, in
surance unknown; Carkn, Stickney &
Cram, loss on dredge which was tied up at
Salliotto & Furgason's dock, $4,000, insur-
ance unknown Maltby Lumber company,
cedar poles and sawmill, $4,000, insurance,
$25, 0OO
The fire originated shortly after one
o'clock in the roof of the Salliotte &,
Furgason lumber mill. The mill had
not been running for several months,
and the roof was as dry as finder. The
building was soon in ashes, and the
fire swept across a dock to where
dredge No. S, of the Carkin Stickney,
and Cram fleet of dredges, was tied up.
Despite efforts to save her, this craft
was burned to the waters edge. Great
embers were picked up by the wind
and dropped on the roof of Brownlee
& Co.'s mill and salt block, and both
these buildings were destroyed.
Delray has very small fire depart
ment, and a call for help was sent to
the Detroit department., which re-
sponded with three engines and the
fire boat Battle. Even the great
streams from the fire boat were power
less to check the flames which were
rolling down the river bank for hun
dreds of feet.
From the Brownlee property the fire
jumped over into the large yard which
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany used as storage point for their
cedar telegraph poles. The yard is the
distributing point for ten states, and
over 100000 poles were stored there
The fire swept through the great yard
which comprises eight acres, in less
than two hours, but the poles blazed
until far into the night. The plant of
the Maltby Lumber company was the
last one on the river bank, and it was
soon destroyed, together with large
stock of cedar poles which was stored
in the company's YARD.
While this fire was burning the lum-
Der yard of g. A. Raupp & Co., in
Ecorse, about a mile from Delray, was
set on fire by sparks from passing en-
CINE, and 100000 feet of lumber was de-
stroyed. The loss is about SIS 900, COW
cred by insurance.

A MIRACLE EXPLAINED

Bryant, Mo-, May 13.-The sensa-
tional cure of Mrs. NJ. A. Goss, of this
place, has sent a ripple of excitement
all over Douglas County, and Dodd's
Kidney Pills, the remedy in question,
are receiving thereby, the greatest
advertisement any medicine has ever
had in this state.
To satisfy the many inquiries
which she finds it impossible to an
swer by letter, Mrs. Goss has sent the
following statement of her case to
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
''I did not think L could live a day
and suffer, as [ have lived and suf-
fered for months, with Sciatica and
rheumatism. I used baths and lini-
ments of all kinds. Two physicians
treated me, one Of them for two
months. Nothing helped me in the
least. I never slept more than ten
or fifteen minutes at a time. I was
belfast, and had to lie on one side all
the time. [ used to wish for death,
to deliver me from such torture.
"a friend suggested Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and after I had used them a
week, I began to improve, and in
about four weeks I could sit up in
bed. A few days later, I walked a
quarter of a mile and back. [ now Go
all my own cooking and house work.
The pain has entirely left me, and I
an a well woman. I have taken alto
gether, sixteen boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved
my life" Mrs. M. A. Goss.
People come for miles to see Mrs.
Goss, and hear her wonderful story.

marvellous cures in Missouri
