At the inquest Nellie Mccarthy ad-
mltted that neither she nor her sister,
Mrs. Fisher, could read or write. She
said she did not know what she was do
ing when she made her mark on the
papers transferring her right in Mrs.
Smiths policy to Fisher. -.
Fisher is not alarmed. He says all
the deaths were due TO natural causes,
though he admitted that the intemper-
ate use OF whiskey might have been a
contributing cause. He claimed that all
the Insurance that had been collected on
his wite's relatives had not sufiiced to
pay their funeral expenses.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 5.-Flve deaths within
eleven months of persons closely related
and all insured in favor of either Louis
Fisher or his wife have aroused the
suspicious Of Coroner Faukhouser and
District-Attorney Folk will lay the facts
before the Grand Jury.
Louis Fisher and his wife live at
Biddle and Sixteenth streets. Fisher is
a saloon-keeper and enjoys a good repu-
tation among his neighbors. His wife
was a Miss Mccarthy. and she brought
her brothers and sisters, married and
single. and their families to board In
the lodgings conducted by Fisher in
connection with his saloon. All of these
people drank heavily, according TO in
formation developed in the Coroner's
investigation. and of the six who died,
all but a baby s%uccumbed to gastritls.
The complaint is usual with confirmed
drinkers. and the rapidly succeeding
deaths in the Fisher family circle ox-
cited no comment until the death OF
Mrs. Kate Smith, a sister Of Mrs.
Fisher. +
DR.. John o. Guhman, who had attended
all the cases, became suspicious be-
cause of the patients aggravated nau-
sea. 1t then occurred 10 him that all OF
the patients had vomited violently. The
symptoms were Sc similar that when
Mrs. Smith died he notified the Coroner.
An autopsy determined that Mrs.
Smiths death was due to gastro-en-
teritis and a contributing cause, which
has not yet been determined,
Insured for $1,000.
During the inquest 1t developed that
Mrs. Smith had been insured in the
Knights and Ladies of Honor for 5000,
with her sisters, Nellie Mccarthy and
Mrs. Louis Fisher, as beneficiaries. The
policy was issued only on Nov. II. On
Nov. rs. the day before Mrs. Smiths
death, she executed a will in which
she stipulated that Louis Fisher should
be the beneficiary of her insurance, in
stead OF ner sister Nellie. Then Nellie
gave Louis Fisher a power of attorney
and also executed an assignment of her
beneficiary rights to him..
When this matter was called to the
OF the officers OF the knights
and Ladies OF Honor they ordered an
investigation, and DIR. Charles A. Vein
berg. the medical examiner, demanded
that an inquest be held. While the in
quest was in progress the police searched
the Fisher home and brought seven in
surance policies to the Coroner's office.
all of which were returned except the
policy on Mrs. Smiths life.
The significant facts developed by the
inquest were that five relatives of Mrs.
Fisher had died within a year in her
home, all from some form of stomachic
Irritation and all insured either in her
or her husbands favor.
The First Death.
The first of the deaths to take place
was that of Martin Fox. Mrs. Fishers

The President of a certain big Oil Cor

The President of certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth 5000, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the Same
l have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where thero
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.

aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that mako
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be a
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions. etc., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. 1t relieves at once
and cures quickly. 1t stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm

OUR CONSCIENCE FUND.
1t was Started With Dollar In the
Year 1911.


"In the year 1871" says II. E. Arm
strong in Ainslee's Magazine, IAN
anonymous citizen of New York sent
dollar to the treasury department at
Washington with an avowal that he
had defrauded the government and
wanted to make restoration. A dollar
meant something to Uncle Sam in
those necessitous days when the coun-
try verged on war with Great Britain,
and it was a patriotic as we'll as pen
itent act. The contributor was the
founder of the conscience fund, and
probably he died in the odor of sane
tity.
