His Sight Threatened.

"While picnicking last month my H.
year old boy was poisoned by some
weed or plant" says W. II. Dibble, of
Sioux City, La. "He rubbed the poison
off his hands into his eyes and for awhile
we were afraid he would lose his sight.
Finally neighbor recommended De-
Wits Witch Hazel Salve. The first
application helped him and in few
days he was as we'll as ever" For skin
diseases, cuts, burns, scalds, wounds,
insect bites, DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve is sure cure. Relieves piles at
once. Beware of counterfeits. Fl. G..

JOHN yALsTEDT ARRESTED.
Charged With Poisoning John Adder
 son of Brewsters.


 Danbury, July 15-Rather than face trial for mufdering old John Ander- son, John Valstedt of Brewsters, N. Y., took flight yesterday afternoon and at tempted suicide. Anderson, who was an old resident of Brewsters had lived for some time with Valstedt and had been employed by him. On July |, Anderson died and was buried Sub sequent developments led to the disin- terment of thefhody and it was found that the stomach contained enough stryehnine to kill fifty men, Suspicion pointed to Valstedt as it was known that the latter held note for $500 signed by Anderson and also had policy for $T0O on Anderson's life. A warrant for Valstedt's arrest was pro- cured and yesterday afternoon Coroner Mitchell attempted to serve it. He met Valstedt on the street in front of his Mitchell's, jewelry store. Telling Val- stedt to wait, Coroner Mitchell hurried into his store, where he had the war rant. In the meantime Valstedt start ed off on a run and disappeared into some woods. Constable Day and some assistants formed a posse and started in pursuit. They had gone but short distance before they found the man they sought under tree with his wrists slashed. VaIstedt resisted cap ture but was brought into the village and placed into the lookup. To-day he was committed to jail in Carmel to await trial. He denies that he killed Anderson but refuses to explain why he tried suicide. 1t is said that q number of other deaths under similar circumstances can be traced to Val Stedt.

with Christian science the Christian
scientists shall decline to doctor in

thought there was no such thing as
disease according to the Christian sci
ence theory. The inference from Mrs.
Eddy's dcree is that her particular line
of doctors can handle contagious dis
ease when the public thought becomes
better acquainted with Christian sci
ence. There ought to be money In
this line of healing and we are there.

turned her back upon a gold mine
