WHAT'S IN A NANE3
1nansnn,s plaaiar Ia Pains Masiar

In the days Of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name Of Oliver Ames q Son, was
9 synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Bsnson's Porous
Plaster Is the universal standard external
remedy. To say II is a ''good" plaster does
not describe it tt Is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edv il available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as q matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc. are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
nIastars have none of the curative virtues
Of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as remedy in which the public
NAV have implicit confidence; while, in q
comparative test with other plasters, Ben

of friend. forced open the door.
Mrs. Striegel was found dead on the
bed. Bert Striegel was struggling hard
for breath and was found to be under
the influence of a large dose of lauda-
mum. Physicians were Immediately
called, who gave their attention to re-
| suscitating Striegel. After two days
work he was declared to be out Of dan
ger.
A letter was found in the room occu-
pied by the two. signed by both. In
which they said they wanted to die to
gether, as they could not live separate.
A letter also written by him to broth
er-in-law stated In substance that Bess
Striegel was his only wife, the other
woman with whom he had formerly
lived was not his wife. A charge of
bigamy was at that time hanging over
him in Kansas City.
Bessie Striegel was formerly Bessie
Spar of Denver, her father being a
prominent contractor. While Striegel
lived In Denver he paid his attentions
to Miss Sparr in opposition to the wish
es Of her parents. The couple were Sc
cretly married and her parents did not
know OF 1t until several weeks after
it occurred. They then forgave the
couple and took them in their own
home to live.
After that Striegel went to Kansas
City and got position ina drug store
and had his wife follow him. 1t was
while he was In Kansas City that wife
No. / appeared on the scene and en-
tered suit for bigamy against him.
Bessie Striegel then left him and came
to Longmont. Striegel followed few
days later, beating his way on freight
train. From there they came to Boul-

Denver, Oct. aS.--A Boulder special
Of last Saturday night 10 the Denver
Republican gives the following account
of the Bert Strrgel murder trial:
The trial OF Bert Striegel accused of
administering poison TO his wife Bessie
Striegel, from the effects Of which 1t
is said she died, took an unexpected
turn to-day.
DIR. Battey, one Of the physicians
who made post mortem examination
of the deceased. said it was his opinion
that she had died from the effects of
some irritating poison, probably NOR
phine, but he could not swear that this
was the case, and merely gave 1t as his
opinion. DIR. Palmer, chemist at the
university, who made an analysis of
the contents of the stomach, said If
there was any morphine in the stom-
ach 1t was go small quantity that 1t
could not have produced death.
After this testimony was in, the de-
fense moved 10 dismiss the case be-
cause the prosecution had failed to
prove tkat the woman had died from
the effects of poison. The case was
argued before Judge Bennett this even
ing and the decision of dismissal rem
dered.
On the evening of September 18th
suspicious noises were heard coming
from the room occupied by Bert STRIFE
gel and his wife in the Lane block.
Striegel had rented the room the day
before. having Just arrived from Long
mont. On the morning Of the day on
which the woman was found dead, the
chambermaid went to clean the room,
she WAS met at the door by Striecel
and told that his wife was i'll and did
not want to be called until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. 1t was after 6 o'clock

Denver, Oct. oS.-Not for many years

representative of the growth of the
state.
The men who had known DR.. Hale
in the old days at Central City when
he with them laid the foundation stone
for the present great commonwealth,
mourned at his grave. Professors from
the State University at Boulder, of
which institution DIR. Hale was the
head for four years. gathered about the
bier of their former leader Most con-
spicuous of all was the large number
of men of Colorado's second generation,
the little old stone school house on the
hills of Gilpin county.
DIR. Hale's late residence, No. 211
Logan avenue, was early thronged
with his many friends, and the small
lawn filled by those who could not get
inside the house. So large was the
crowd that fully two-thirds of those
present were obliged to stand on the
lawn until the time arrived for the
viewing of the body, which occupied
fully half an hour.

An Amused Foe.

The proprietor of a smell store In
New Nrk owns black kitten that
cultivates q habit of squatting on
it's launches, like bear or a kan
CARGO, and then sparring with it's
forepaws as if it had taken lessons
from pugilist. A gentleman took
into the store an enormous black
dog, half Newfoundland, half collie,
fat, good-natured and intelligent. The
tiny kitten, instead of boiling at once
for shelter, retreated few PAGES, sat
erect on its hind legs and put it's
fists" in an attitude of defiance. The
contrast in size between the two was
intensely amusing. 1t resembled one
OF Jack the Giant-Killer preparing
to demolish giant. Slowly and with
out sign of excitability the huge
dog walked as far as his chain would
allow him and gazed intentlx at the
kitten and its odd posture. Then, as
the comicality of the situation struck
him, he turned his head and shoulders
around to the spectators, and if ami
NAL ever laughed in the world that
dog assuredly did so then and there,
He neither parked nor growled, but
INDUCED in low chuckle, while
mouth and eyes beamed with merri-
ment.-N. Y. Telegram.
