be. He pointed out many grave perils to
the nation and among other things said ::

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient.
and the rich patient, too, can do
much better at home by proper at-
tention to food digestion, and regu-
lar use OF German Syrup. Free
expectoration in the morning is made
certain by German Syrup, so is good
nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and debilitating
night sweat. Restless nights and the
exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con
sumptive, can be prevented or stop
ped by taking German Syrup
literally and regularly. Should you
be able to go TO a warmer cline, you
will find that of thousands OF con.
sumptives there, the few who are
benefited and regain strength are
those who use German Syrup. Tria

st. Louis, Mo-. Oct l9.-lt is be-

OF the murder OF Mrs. Kate Lauman,
whose dead body was found lying by
the roadside near Normandy Thurs
day has beeen partially solved through
the suicide Of John Williams a ne
gro. arrested as suspect Williams
who said he had recently come from
Mississippi made several attempts TO
sell a revolver and this aroused sus-
picion. He was taken into custody
aud placed in the Clayton jail.
He asserted his innocence, but IL
nally under severe questioning, made
the remark "Well. there are others in
this. I'll tell you more about it to-
morrow" A small fire occurred near
the jaIl and caused some excitement.
After Il had been extinguished Sheriff
Hencken went TO Williams cell to
question him and found the prisoner
dead. He had hanged himself II Is
thought that the excitement caused by
the fire alarmed Williams into the be-
lief that a mob was approaching the
jai to lynch him. and he quickly
hanged himself with a sheet
