The nerves control and determine the
health of every function of the brain
and body.
More than nine-tenths of all diseases
that are not infectious are known by
every physician to be merely the local
symptoms of a coming breakdown of
the nervous system.
In one person the diseased condition
of the nerves manifests itself in insom-
mia; in another by Indigestion; in an
other by rheumatism; some organ of
the human body becomes affected, and
refuses to perform it's proper work.
When these symptoms begin to show
themselves, medicine today knows but
this one remedy, the famous discovery
of Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LII.
D., whose wonderful achievement has
spread the fame of one of this coun-
try's greatest universities. No other
remedy was ever universally prescribed
by physicians. 1t was by the advice of
the most eminent practitioners in the
country that this great remedy was
first put within the reach of the public.

TO HUNT THE COYOTE.
Labette County Farmers Arranging
For q Wolf Chase.

Parsons, Jan. 31.-The farmers of La
bette and Liberty townships are arrang-
ing for a big wolf chase to be held on
Saturday, February g. The center of
the chase will be on the Souter farm,
three miles south of Parsons, and the
chase will embrace a territory of four
miles square. The hunters will meet at
10 o'clock in the morning and each cap
tain will appoint an assistant. Each
captain will also appoint a boy to ride
to the center from each line so that the
center man can keep all lines informed
as to the progress of the chase
AS wolves have given the farmers
considerable annoyance in this section
of the county it is expected that this
chase will result in the capture of quite
a number of wolves. All Parsons hunt
ers who have any desire to take part
in this chase and add a few wolf scalps
to their hunting trophies are cordially
invited by the farmers to join them.

An Aged Hermit Is Murdered
Near Argentine.
Robbery Is Supposed to Have
Been the Motive.
DEAD NEARLY 80 DAYS.
Crime Supposed to Have Been
Committed Jan. /.
Believed to Have Had Lots of
Money Around.

Argentine, Kas., Jan. 31.-In his home
two miles west of here the dead body
of Thomas Carroll aged 81 years, was
found yesterday. Carroll had lived the
life of a hermit for ten years. He was
undoubtedly brutally murdered. The
only motive for it that the police can
advance is robbery. The body lay near
a window and it's appearance indicated
that it had been there for three or four
weeks. There were blood stains on the
floor and wall. The furniture was up
set and some of it was broken. There
We're many indications that fierce
struggle occurred before the crime was
committed. Carroll's skull was crushed
and the instrument that did the work
an ax-was found in an adjoining
room, covered with blood.
The body was clothed, but the clothes
were unbuttoned. In the trousers
pockets We're $26 in currency, but the
fact that the mans trunk was broken
open and ranSacked cOnVlnceS the po-
lice that the murderer secured money.
1t is believed that Carroll had a large
sum of money in this trunk, for he
had kept very little money in the banks
since the failure of the Argentine bank
in 1896. He had about 800 in the First
State bank while his wealth was esd
mated at about $4,000. This included
several hundred acres of farm property.
Carroll had not been seen since Janu-
airy I.
The discovery of the murder was
made by Charles Ollard, who went to
CarrolPs home on an errand for ". a.
Drollinger, an Argentine contractor. He
called at the dead N ans home Wednes-
day night, but was unable to get a re-
Spouse to his knocks.
Carroll lived in a two-room cottage
built about a year ago. For about nine
years prior to the building of this house
he lived in a little hut just across the
raVine. Both houses were searched by
the officers for evidences of the motive
of the crime and the way it was COM
mitted. F. NJ. Tracy, coroner, Sheriff
MendenhaH and others went to work on
the case. 1t was learned that Carroll
was seen about Christmas time going
home with a white jug. Those who saw
him at that time said they had not seen
him since. but it was ascertained that
he purchased two loaves of bread from
n grocery store in Argentine on New
Years day. and as this bread was
found untouched it is conjectured that
he was killed New Years day or very
soon afterward. Clinton Brown,
neighbor and friend of Carroll, says he
saw him last fall with a considera BILE
amount of money in his possession, ana
that he told him he had sold a farm.
About the time of this supposed trans
action he was absent from Argentine
About eight years ago there was a
similar tragedy near Argentine. VIII
liam HOrnaman, old hermit, was
murdered in his hut and pot of money
taken from beneath the floor by the
murderer
