HEARTY At seventy
AFTER SUFFERING HALF A LIFE.
TIME WITH RHEUMATISM,
Another Remarkable Cure Added to the Many
Accomplished by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.

After suffering nearly half her life
time with rheumatism, Mrs. Jenett e.
Hart, of Sea Bright, Calf, now past
seventy years of age, was cured by
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. She says:
II began to suffer with rheumatism
thirty-five years ago and nothing that
tried seemed to help me. 1t grew
worse and worse until / was badly
crippled with it. Sometimes it was
so severe that had to take to my bed.
About year ago an article in the pa
per induced me to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and could
notice a change for the better by the
time had taken the first box. Five
boxes cured me and have had no re-
turn of the trouble since. I can work
and sew and get about as well as
many woman much younger than
myself. / am now over seventy years
and / firmly believe that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are the
4 cause of my being so WELL"
The real cause of rheumatism is the
presence of acid in the blood, which
initiates the sensitive tissues that
unite the joints and cover the muscles,
!. thus causing those indescribable tor
lures which rheumatic sufferers en-
dure. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People go directly to the seat OF
the trouble, exerting powerful infiu.
nee in purifying and enriching the
blood by eliminating the poisonous
elements and renewing health-giving
force, thus making potent remedy
for curing this disease
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are an unfailing specific for all
diseases arising from impoverished
blood or shattered nerves. They cure
not only rheumatism but locomoto1

Brooded Over His Coming Trial in
= Court.
DIES ALMOST In WlFE'S PRESENCE
Leaves Her and Walks into Bed.
room, Where He Blows His Head
off with a Rifle of Large calibre-
Leaves a Family.

Martinsburg, Nov. 26.-(Special.)-
Leaving his wife for a moment and re.
pairing to bedroom in his residence
in this place at $50 o'clock last even
ing, Frank Alexander, forty-eight
years of age and a we'll known resi-
dent of Martinsburg, placed the muz-
zle of a A calibre rifle to his mouth,
pulled the trigger and fell back dead.
Mr.. Alexander, it is believed, was tenn
porarily insane. 1t is known that he
brooded over his own personal trou-
bles, one of which consisted in his in
dictment on the charge of forgery. 1t
is believed that he was innocent. He
leaves wife and six children.
Leaves Wife to Die.
The deed was committed almost in
the presence of his wife. They were
taking and Mr.. Alexander left her
and went into a bedroom, from which
in few minutes came the report of
the gun. He had sat down on the bed
and placed the gun in his mouth. He
fell back on the bed dead
Horrible Sight.
When Mrs. Alexander rushed into
the room most horrifying sight met
her gaze The bullet had scattered
brains and blood over the walls and
celling and the bed was saturated with
blood. Her husband was dying.
The news of the affair brought a
large number of sympathetic friends,
who took charge of the remains and
did all they could to comfort the grief
stricken wife.
The gun used was the rifle brought
by John Bayne from Cuba. 1t is a "A
calibre and makes terrible wound.
Believed to Be Innocent.
Mr.. Alexander has resided in and
near Martinsburg all his life. Some
time ago he was charged with forgery
and was indicted by the grand jury on
this charge. His trial would have
come up in the next term. 1t is said
that he was in ,eallty innocent of the
charges, however, and it is thought
that brooding over the matter pro-
duced temporary insanity. The flu
neral occurred today.

was not there, Chief Gray returned
to the city and soon afterwards
learned that Franklin had been seen
going south on Wabash hand car.
Thinking that the MAI would return
to Ottumwa during the night, the po-
lice suppressed this information, but
today word comes from Missouri that
Franklin has been seen there in his
old haunts and it is hardly probable
that he will ever come back to Ottum-
wa again.
Richard Pickett and John Forshee,
two farmers residing in Linn county,
Mo-, are the men who claim the har-
ness which was brought here, as it APP
pears, by Franklin. The property was
stolen during the early summer and
since that time the owners have been
looking for it without success until
Chief Gray located one set in Frank
Inns house when he searched it. The
other set was pawned to P. T. Spring
err, of South Ottumwa, for $40 by Alex
Franklin. Both sets were returned to
the rightful owners and they left for
home with their property this morn
ing.
Recovery of Horses.
S. e. Thorne, who resides near AL
pha, Mo-. lost team of valuable hors-
es from his pasture one night late in
June of the present year and since
that time he has spent approximately
$3.50 looking for the animals. He felt
sure that Fletch Franklin had commit
ted the theft but he was unable to To-
cate the animals or the thief, although
the latter celebrated last Fourth of
July at Linneus, Mo-, not far from
Mr.. Thorne's farm. Since the arrest
of Fletch Franklin Chief Gray has
been investigating the sale of horses
in the county and comparing their de-
scriptions with those OF animals miss
ing from Missouri.
Recently Mr.. Gray learned that a
man giving his name as Ed Miller had
sold a team answering to this descrip-
ton of the horses stolen from Mr..
Thorne to Rollin Gosney, a farmer re-
siding near Amador. The horses were
sold by Rolllin Gosney to relative,
Albert Gosney, who also resides near
