This message was opened by Sheriff

express any expectation of a respite
At $50 Sheriff Dickman told the con-
demned boy to prepare for the march

step and before the black cap was ad-
iusted made a short speech in which he
declared that he fired the shot that

intention than to disarm his assailant
He spoke for three minutes and then
waved a goodbye to those assembled
and turned to the sheriff. A minister
stepped forward and made a final

dispatch from the Western Union Tele-
graph office at Jefferson City Mr..

years of age. She feared at times that
he would be kidnapped.
Mr.. Tower, who. is a millionaire,
ownes the Poughkeepsie Iron Works,
and he frequently goes to the works at
night to oversee operations. He was
there last evening, while Mrs. Tower
and her son were at home, the boy
playing ping pong with a friend. APP
parently the mother was composed and
cheerful, as she discussed the future
prospects of the boy.
After the guests left at $50 she tele-
phoned several times to her husband
to come home. Once she told him that
Albert, who had gone to bed, was rest
less She retired herself at IL. Less
than one hour afterward the servants
were aroused by 10 or II pistol shots in
the family apartments on the second
floor. The only cutlery was. ooh! AL
bert. Oh! Albert" from Mrs. Tower.
The butler forced the door of one of
the rooms as soon as the shooting sub
sided and found the woman and her
son dead. Two spare rooms separated
Mrs. Towers and her sons rooms. The
circumstances indicated that Mrs.
Tower had left her bed, slipped on a
dressing gown, and, taking a revolver
had gone to her sons room and COM
menced firing at him as he lay in bed.
There were two revolvers under the
boys pillow but neither of them had
been touched. Aroused by his moth
er's act the boy got out of bed and
started for the door. Then he fell dead.
Mrs. Tower fired four shots at herself
with her right hand, all of which miss
ed the mark. She then, it appears,
held the revolver with her left hand
and pulled the trigger with her right,
blowing out her brains.
Mrs. Tower was about 3S years of
age She was the eldest daughter of r.
Plat Carpenter of Helena, Mont, who
ran for lieutenant governor on the
Folger ticket in this state. Mr.. Car
penter was county judge of Duchess
county and was prominent in Republic
can state politics 20 years ago. Mr..
Tower is the Oldest of two sons Of the
late Albert Tower. who made a fortune
in the manufacture of pig iron in this
city. His brother, Jos. Tower, who
lives at Tuxedo and he were the only
heirs to the fortune. The Towers were
well-known at Newport. where they
spent the summers on their yacht.

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED:
Peruna Creating National Sensation in the Cure
/ of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys.

Mr.. John Vance, of Hartford City, Ind,
says: "My kidney trouble is much
better. have improved so much that
everybody wants to know what medi-
cine am using. I recommend Peruna
to everybody and some have commenced
to use it. The folks all say that if DR..
Hartman's medicine cures me it must be
great."-JOHN VANCE. ..
Mr.. j. Brake, of Pefr0Eea,, Ontario,

ease, which brought me SO low the
doctor said nothing more could be
done for me. Ibegan to take Peruna
and Manaiin. and In three months I
was q well man, and have continued
so ever since. ".--L Brake.
At the appearance Of the first symptom
of kidney trouble, Peruna should be
very root of the disease. It at once re-
lieves the catarrhal kidneys Of the stag
nant blood, preventing the escape Of
serum from the blood. Peruna stimu-
lates the kidneys to excrete from the
blood the accommodating poison, and thus
prevents the commissions which are sure
to follow if the poisons are allowed to
remain. It gives great vigor to the
hearts action and digestive system, both
of which are apt to fail rapidly in this
disease 1a-;S rat

Washington, April 11.-Dcbate on
the Cuban reciprocity bill continued IN
the House, today, the principal
speeches being made by Long, Kan, a
member of the ways and means COM
mittee. who from the first ardently sup
ported the proposition for reciprocity
and who originally favored Il reduction
of 40 per cent, and by Shafroth, Col,
who vigorously opposed the bill on the
ground that the Sugar Trust, which
he said was waging alyar OF ~exterlni-
nation against the beet sugar industry,
would be it's chief beneficiary -
The leaders of the House, who have
been much worried as to the outcome
of the controversy, was considerably
relieved. today. when Watson. Ind,
who is acting as the Republican whip
on this occasion, Informed them that
after n careful canvass he was positive
that when the attempt was made to
override the Chair in order to make
way for an amendment to abolish the
diffcrential on refined sugar, the Chan
would be sustained. 80
on bot sides it is conceded that the
uncertainty regarding the fate of the
bill hinges upon the question of over
ruling the Chair.
Despite Watson's canvass there are
those among the opponents of the bill
who still contend that they will win
the victory. i*t-l
