NEW LIGHT ON
A MURDER MYSTERY
A Burglar Claims to Have Seen the Fata
Shot Fired.

Council Bluffs, Ia, March 1.--Chef
of Police Albro, of this city, has in his
possession a signed statement in which
a resident of Council Bluffs states
that he was all eyewitness to the
murder of Frank Richardson, ut his
home in Savannah, Mo-, ON the night
of Dec. a, 1900, and for which his
wife has been acquitted after Il SEN
sational trial. Chief Albro has cores
ponded with the Missouri authorities
and the man will go to Missouri us a
witness.
The man is Maynard Shoemaker,
alias Ed Smith. He has been Il resi-
dent of Council Bluffs for fifteen
years, and while he has never been
known to steal here, it Is rumored that
he frequently made trips away from
home which proved profitable. He has
bad reputation.
Shoemaker's statement is to the ef-
feet that he had gained an entrance TO
the Richardson home Oh the night oi
the murder, thinking there was no one
at home. After he was OH the inside
he discovered that man and woman
were there.
Shortly after another man entered
the room, and when he discovered the
first two, exclimed: my God, has 1t
come to this?" He entered the room,
and the man who was there first,
came out. He had revolver in his
hand and when in the other room,
fired. The last nSn to enter the room
fell, and the man left ,ne house. Be-
fore he left he discovered the other
man present, and according to the
statement in the hands of the Chief
of Police, gave him So, and the price
of a ticket to Council Bluffs to say
nothing. Shoemaker did not want to
appear as witness, and accepted the
offer.
Recently Shoemaker attended re-
vival meeting and became converted.
AT the close of the meeting he confid-
ed his secret to the evangelist, who in
turn wrote to G. w. Boeher,e prosecu-

The Country and In Akron,

Weak, nervous, the digestion out Of
order--that is what ails host of peo.
pie. 1t comes about in this way:
First from overwork or other causes,
the nerves are burdened beyond en-.
durance, nerve waste is not replaced,
nerve force is weakened, then the
stomach loses its nerve controlling
power and indigestion follows with
failing strength. When first DIR. A. w.
Chases Nerve Pills came to Akron
people could hardly be convinced that
this great medicine would remove
these troubles. Now 1t is an accepted
fact because of their cure of very
stubborn cases no other medicine

MARRIAGE LICENSE
SIX YEARS OLD
An Out of the Ordinary Romance From Justice
1offman's Court.

Civil weddings seem to be growing in
popularity in this city, and many of
the Akron Justices of the Peace re-
port decided increase in this part of
their business, in the last two OF three
years. This state of affairs is due in
part to the increasing number of mar
riages between Catholics and Protest
ants, and an opinion held by many
persons that a civil marriage is more
binding than the religious ceremony.
Many persons also go to a justice to
avoid the expense of wedding party.
Said Squire p. Fl. Hoffman in reply
to the inquiry of a Democrat repre-
sentative: II perform about one we'd

much authority us czars.
Strict obedience Is enforced upon
the prisoners. This is provided for in
rule G7, which reads: '"The first duty
of the prisoners is strict obedience, and
it will be to their interest to obey all
rules and regulations"
Quietness is also required. The man
who goes to the workhouse, expecting
to put in his time singing and deliv-

following: "They must at all times
preserve absolute silence, except when
spoken to by an officer or elnplOye in

been noticed that no reference was
made to talking about play or amuse-

THE HARVEST TIME
OF THE DRESSMAKERS
They Are All as Busy as Can be--Pretty FASH
ions In Vogue This Spring.

The luckless maid or matron who
has delayed making arrangements for
her Easter gowns until now, will be
very likely to wear her old one to
church on that day, as this Is the
dressmakers' harvest time and they
have all they can do for a month to
come to complete orders already taken.
1t is fact that Akron dressmakerS
are buster than usual at this time,
though the weeks preceding Easter
are always busy ones for them.
This is partly accounted for by the
opening of the Colonial Opera house,
for which many new and handsome
gowns have been ordered by Akron
ladies. From the number of hand
some gowns in the course of construc-
tion it may be assumed that Akron
churches will present brilliant APP
pearance on Easter morning when the
feminine portion of the congregation
will come out in all the glory of new
gowns and that dainty, creation known
as the Easter bonnet.

APOPLEXY IN FOWLS.
1t Occurs Most Frequently in FIOcI1s
Fed on What Is Termed the
HiGh-Pressure System,

It is nice thing to have fat,
the table. When they are kept fo..
show purposes and for showing Gus
toners and others who may visit the
farm, they look we'll also when they
are very fat. When certain kinds of
food are fed and chickens are kept
from exercise they will get very fat.
Some breeds are better adapted to
taking on fat than others. Not every
person is able to have fowls fat when
they are needed, and yet there are
many poultrymen who are able tc
keep fowls in no other condition, and
they are subject to all the troubles
incident to fat hen, says the Home
stead.
There is degree of fairness that
does not hurt the fowl, and that is to
be retained, as a breeder should not
attain that degree of fairness that
will pass beyond the limit between
health and disease. If so the func-
tions of the fowl are interfered with.
and death is sure to come, and it
very often comes very suddenly.
1t is very well to know how over
fat affects chickens. When fowls re-
ceive high feeding and have limited
exercise, the fat accumulates in the
tissues, not in the constituents of the
organ, but in the intestines. Thus it
invades the spaces which separate the
muscular fibers themselves. and in the
liver the hepatic cells are choked. So
long as the fat is not excessive the
functions of the organs will not be
affected, but if the barrier be once
crossed between health and disease.
the fat becomes part of the cell,
takes it's place gradually and finally
destroys the organ. The accumula-
ton of fat especially attracts the ac-
ton of the heart, diminishing its
energy and proving an obstacle to
the contraction and the circulation Of
the nourishing vessels. The fbers Of
muscles of respiration become af-
fected by the fat, and the fullness
and the frequency of breathing will
be lessened By the fat; the fat cannot
be consumed and it accumulates. Sud-
den death may come at any time by
a rupture of the heart or the owl
duct. The remedy lies in not giving
too much or too little food. Dimin-
ish the supply and force exercise,and
rely more on green food. Generous
feeding should be carried on in lay
ing time, but not in such manner as
to transform the food into fat.
