Seven years ago tho State OF Illinois granted
TO the Physicians Institute Of Chicago a charter.
There was need of something above the ordi-
nary method OF treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number of specialists acting independently
could do, so the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t by Its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since Its establishment this Institute has
endeavored In every possible way to carry out
the original purposes of its establishment under
the benefcient laws of the State.
Three years ago, the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
Of certain phases Of disease. created under the
Superintendent of It's staff of specialists an
electric belt. and this belt has been proved to DO
OF great value as a curative agent. From time
to time 1t has been improved until 1t reached
that stage OF perfection which warranted Its
present name Of supreme"
This belt is the most effective OF all agents In the
cure of rheumatism, lumbago, lame back, nerv-
GUS exhaustion, weakened or lost vital functions,
varicocele, kidney disorders and many other
complaints.
This supreme Electric Belt" Is made In ono

ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN. By
.. II. Oldroyd. Published by the
Author, at 516 10th street, Wash
ingtOn, D. G.
So very much has been written about the
assassination of our great martyred Presi-
dent, that it would seem that nothing new
or interesting could be found to say about
lit. But COmrade Oldroyd is a man OF orig
inal thought, and probably knows more
about Abraham Lincoln than any other
man now alive. He has devoted his life
/ to the study of the Great Emancipation,
and knows not only what everybody else
has said or written about him, but what he
himself has thought out, found out, or cor
related. This book contains & great mass
of new matter, as well as much old mat
ter given new value by proper correlation.
Not content with the ordinary sources OF
information, COmrade Oldroyd struck out
for new ones, and some of his methods
were highly unique. For example, he
placed himself on the exact spot in the
old FOrd's Theater to which Booth leaped,
after firing the fatal shot, and then fol-
lowed his tracks, camera in hand, through
all his various wanderings, until his body
was finally laid to rest in the ground. He
went to every house where the assassin
stopped, saw everybody now alive who saw
him, and talked with them, photographed
them, ETC., gathered up their recollectlonS,
and the neighborhood gossip.
The book is very handsomely gotten up
in every way, With 81 fine haif-tones OF
the views taken by Comrade Oldroyd's in
defatigahle camera, of the interesting per-
sons, things, and places he found in his
researches.

A tragedy resulting in the death OF
a nan who had long prosecuted a wo-
man, took place on the Bauer ranch,
a few miles south of Mesa last Sun
day morning, says the Tempe, Arizona,
News.
Chas. Bauer. who did the shooting,
and Charles Kinsler. who was shot.
were neighboVs. For a long time
Kinsler has been forcing his attentions
upon Mrs. Bauer. coming to the house
during her husbands absence and
threatening violence until he had the
woman so terrorized that she would
seek refuge at the horse OF neigh
bors at his approach. He vas repeat
edly warned to keep away from the
house. OF late. Mr.. Bauer. who Is a
most worthy man, has been brooding
over the condition of affairs.
Sunday morning n man named Ad-
ans. a nephew of Bauer. accompanied
by Kinsler, started out hunting. When
they reached the Bauer residence they
stopped. intending to have Mr.. Bauer
go with them. When Kinsler heard
that Mr.. Bauer was not at home he
jumped out of the buggy and went into
| the house. AS soon as he entered the
| door he caught hold of the woman and
was struggling with her when Bauer
stepped from the closet and common
ced shooting. He put four bullets into
Kinsler, any n Of three of which
would have ben fatal.
After the shooting Bauer went &c
Mesa and gave himself up. A coron
er's jury was impanelled and upoI
hearing the evidence completely ex
onerated Mr.. Bauer and released hin
fIom custody.
