Doctors advertise their favorite pre-
scriptions, say just what they will do
and what they will cure. This was
the way that the newly celebrated
treatment, Rea Bros CaScarin,
jumped from the sale of few bottles
to Five Hundred Thousand in the
past few years, and it has cured thou
sands of people.
The diseases for which CaScarin is
recommended are those affecting the
Liver, Kidneys, Stomach and Bowels.
Rea Bros. & Co., manufacturers of
their Cascarin, spent years of study
and thousands of dollars in perfecting
this medicine. Rea Bros. CaScarin is
prepared from the bark of tree grow
ing in southern California, Western
Mexico and South America. There is
no other remedy so certain in action
and pleasing in result as in Rea Bros.
CaScarin
Don't be too skeptical Look into
it thoroughly before passing judg-
ment. Do not say that one thing can
not possess certain virtues because
others did not-that is foolish. Test
it and then offer an opinion.
Rea Bros. CaScarin is the ideal rem
remedy for gall stones of bladder,
and cures after all others
have failed. 1t is easy to take, being
pleasing in taste and well suited to
children. Mothers should be careful
to give their children no other laxa-
tive. They should keep it on their
medicine shelf for all members of the
family.
Rea Bros. & Co. are specialists of

BOON FOR INSANE.
Gum Chewing as a Means Of Divert
ing the Human Mine.
From Fridays Daily.

from fridays DAILY.
The contracts awarded by the state
board of control for supplies for the en-
suing quarter include considerable
quantity of chewing gum to pacify the
patients of the insane hospitals.
The observation of the board is that
chewing gum often has an excellent af-
feet on the patients. 1t seems to affect
the insane much as tobacco affects a
nervous person who is an habitual user
of the weed 1t enables the inmates to
concentrate their minds on various forms
of work and soothes them during violent
spells.
On being given gum to chew some of
the patients have been known to collect
their wits and diligently pursue a task.
One inmate with whom the nurses at
one of the hospitals had considerable
difficulty, took to hoeing corn as soon as
he had received stick of gum. One of
the women patients sews assiduously as
long as she chews gum.
One of the greatest problems before the
state board of control is how to provide
employment for the insane. To furnish
a person whose mind is demented with
useful occupation seems to be a good way
toward removing the mental alteration.
During the past few years this idea has
been developed to a considerable ex-
tent. Sewing classes have been organic
ed for the women, and the men have
been encouraged to work about the
farms and assist in keeping the lawns
and buildings in neat condition.
In case of the more violent patients
the idea of pursuing an occupation is
ingratiated very slowly. Inmates who
persist in tearing their clothes and their
hair are usually set to work tearing car
pet rags. They often find this congenial,
and for long time do not realize that
they are directing their energies to any
useful purpose. After they have done
this for some time they are encouraged
to sew the rags together and later to
braid them into a carpet or rug.
The insane take a great deal of pride
in work of this kind accomplished by
their own hands.
'That's my rug; that's my rug; it's
mine; 1 say it's mine," they oftern ex-
claim to strange visitor. If the visitor
does not recognize the Importance OF the
work the insane person often resorts to
DEMONSTRATING Republican.

Newton HiIlyer Of Clinton, Iowa, the
Victim of Fiends.
Robbery Is Supposed to Be the Motive
of the Crime.
Officers Doing Their Utmost to Find
the Guilty Parties.
From Fridays Daily.

Winona is greatly excited over a muir
der that was committed on the high
bridge which connects that city with
the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi
river. The murdered man is Newton
Hellyer of Clinton, Iowa. His body was
found on the Wisconsin side of the
river Wednesday morning, and since
that time police of Winona and the Of
ficers of Buffaro county, Wisconsin,
have done everything in their power to
ferret out the murderers of Hellyer.
They have been unable to get the slight
est clue as yet. 1t is reported that
two men boarded Northwestern
freight train at Marshland early in the
morning and after riding a few miles
jumped off and started across country.
Officers are searching Trempealeau coun-
ty in the direction in which they are
supposed to have gone.
Royal Hellyer of Clinton, Iowa, tele-
graphed to the police here to send the
body to that place where it would be
taken in charge by relatives. According
ly the body was given to an express COM
pany, after being prepared by an
undertaken, and was shipped last eve
ming.
Information secured yesterday would
point to the fact that the crime was
not committed by the young men who
were in his company on the previous eve
ming, at least not for the purpose of
robbery Hellyer was paid off at the
government quarry on Monday after
noon and received about five dollars. So
far as is known this is all the money he
had on his person, and some of this
must have been spent in different sa-
looms in this city. In addition to this
the bridge tender says Hellyer crossed
the bridge alone about one O'Clock and
that no other man crossed over that
night.
The theory now advanced is t hat
Hellyer intended to take train for
down the river and was informed that
he could catch one easily across the
river if he went over so as to get it
early in the morning. Those intending
to commit the crime, thinking he had
money, then went across and lay in
wait for him and his pals on this side
saw that he was started at the right
time. The killing was then accom-
plished.

CHARGED With LARCENY.
From Fridays Daily.

from fridays DAILY.
Louis Walz was arrested late yester-
day afternoon on a warrant sworn out
by John Temple, an aged employee of the
knitting mill, charging him with grand
larceny in the second degree. Waltz
was taken before Judge Shissler at once
and waived examination. He was bound
over to the grand jury and his bond was
placed at $500. 1t was furnished, with
Fred Kron and Leo J. Kiffe as sureties.
Arthur Schaub appeared for Walz.
Temple claims to have had $S5 in gold
on his person on June 2lst last. He was
drinking considerably that night, it is
claimed, and was in company of Mr..
Wall, who walked some distance with
him on Broad street. Soon after leav-
ing Mr.. Wall, he claims that he missed
the money, and it is his belief that Mr..
Walz took the money from his pocket,
, and he so charges him. The empty poe
ket book was subsequently found on the
ground near the Presbyterian church,
where they stopped to talk. The police
saw the two parties together.
Mr. Walz has heretofore borne good
reputation, and his friends hope that he
will be able to show that there is nothing
to the charge so far as he is concerned.
