Bitter, the Turner's Falls Murderer, on
Trial.

The preliminary hearing was begun
Tuesday in the district court at Green
field in the case against Louis Bitter of
Turner's Falls charged with the murder
Dec. 81 Of Ida Columhe, H. his clerk, and
Louis NJ Bitter 6. his SON Only eight of
the 10 witnesses summoned We're heard
and an adjournment was taken to today
BitZer's confession written Immediately
after shooting Miss Columbe has been
corroborated. 1t is believed that he acct
dentally shot his young clerk and the
thought of being considered murderer
was more than he could stand, 1t was
shown that one revolver was taken from
him and thrown back of snow shovel
by his wife. 1t is probable that the arri-
val of Rev. Andrew Faust at the Bitter
house soon after the shooting prevented
Bitter from taking his own life. Bitter
had two sef-cocking reVolVers. The one
back of the shovel had four cartridges
uniired, while the five chambers of the
other revolver We're empty No motive
other than accident and frenzy was
shown. Carrie. T.. who was shot by her
father on the day of the tradegy, and who
is one of the witnesses summoned, accom-
, panied by her uncle and aunt, came to
the dock where her father was seated
She stood there for a second hesitating
Bitter reached forward eagerly and COW
cred the childs extended hand with
kisses. In another instant the father and
child We're in tears.

Wonderful Use of Wireless TeIe-
qraphy.

Through the wireless telegraph system
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse was for
half the trip to the eastward and a large
part Of her westward voyage in almost
constant communication with other yes
sells or the shore The ship was practi-
cally n floating telegraph office. Capt.
Hocemann OF the Kaiser Wilhelm told of
the Geographic marvels. 1T was the
most complete test of the Marconi system
that we have ever had" said he. Herr
Kronkent. operator of the Kaiser Will
helm. was formerly the Marconi expert on
the Lucania. and consequently familiar
with the latter's instruments. on Dec.
l6 off the banks of Newfoundland the
Kaiser ran into a heavy fog. Late on
Monday night the Kaiser ran into clear
weather again. Herr Kronkent flashed 10
the Iucania this message:
I'VE are p mi east of the banks and in
clear weather. to which the Lucania re-
piled: I'VE are still in the fog. ca mi.
astern. Many thanks"
Communication between the two YES
sells ceased when we were IS miles apart,
or practically half way across the ocean,
and after we had conversed nearly &C
hours.
When off the Lizard the record Of Herr
Kronkent shows that l. messages from
the Lucania were flashed and a reply
stated that all of them had been correctly
caught on shore.
OF the MarConi successes on the west
ward trip Capt. Hogemann said:
we passed the Kronprinz Wilhelm
bound east almost in mid ocean, when
the two vessels were Il miles apart
Greetings were exchanged between the
passengers and position given"

IN MODERN DAYS
Ways of Doing Things Have
Vastly Changed--The Science
OF Medicine, Especially, Has
Made Rapid Advances.

"Few things have developed as rapidly
during the past few years as the science
of medicine" said well-lxnown prac-
titioner recently. "And the most
striking phase i'll its progress is in the
treatment of the blood.
''In the old days symptoms were treat
ed and the blood disregarded. Now it
is the root of the disease that is attacked,
and the most important development
of modern medical science has been in
discovering that in most diseases, this
lies Ill the condition of the blood. If
the blood is thin or poor, the nerves
cannot receive their proper nourishment,
the system becomes run down and in
condition to invite disease. Build up
the blood, restore the WORKOUT nerves
and you remove the cause. And when
the cause is gone, the disease will
follow"
An instance Of the truth of this is the
case of the little son of Mrs. Minnie Par
IRISH, living at Donora, Washington Co.,
Pa. In an interview the mother says:
"Our little boy was terribly afflicted
with boils on his back, legs and feet.
He was pale and sallow and his system
was completely run down. He had no
appetite and his stomach caused him
great distress. We had him treated by
good doctors at st. Louis and Indianapo-
lis, but their efforts did him little good.
Then we took him to Pittsburg, hoping
the change would help him. While there
doctor refused to vaccinate him, because
his blood was in bad condition and gave
us certificate to that effect. We tried
various remedies, but without avail He
grew worse, instead of better, and I am
sure he could not have lived long if he
had not been relieved.
ga friend from Dubuque, Iowa, adj
vised us to give him DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. In June, 1900, one
year after his trouble commenced, he be-
gan to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and half of the first box
caused Improvement. He began to eat
and play and was so much better that
we kept on giving them to him until he
had taken three boxes and was cured
He has no more sores and today is per.
fectly well and the happiest boy on the
street."
At all druggists, or direct from DR.
Williams Medicine Company, Schenec.

for two dollars and fifty cents.

Greenfield, Mass, carrying with them
the best wishes of a host of admring
friends.-[ Newton, Kan. Weekly Kan
