died AT WIFE'S GRAVE.
A. L. Turner, of Grinnell, Suicides
in Cemetery.

Special 90 Daily Herald.
Grinnell, Feb. 14.--Not since the
suicide of Arta Moore, prominent
Iowa college student, in an Oskaloosa
hotel several years ago, wher her
husband, unknown to the world as her
legally welded spouse, died with her,
has Grinnell been shocked to such an
extent as it was today, when the life
less body of Arthur L. Turner, promi-
nent resident of the city, and a well
known Iowa travelling man, was found
lying over the grave of his wife in the
Grinnell cemetery.
The news spread rapidly and it was
only few minutes until the cemetery
was crowded with curious people.
Several stories were Immediately set
afloat, some limiting at murder. The
general belief, however, is suicide, as
all indications point that way. The
probabilities are that Mr.. Turner has
been dead two days. at least, and that
he committed the deed last Tuesday
night, upon his return to the city from
Marshalltown.
The body was found in Hardwood
cemetery at about 8 o'clock by Mrs.
Norris, the second wife of Joe Norris,
and step-mother of Turner's secon I
wife. Tracks in the mud and snow
showed that he had gone to the grave
of his first wife and then walked to
the grave Of his second wife, where
he gave way to dependency and put a
bullet through his heart. The body
when found had been dead several
days. It was in a half-sitting posture
across the grave, and the revolver WAS
lying on top of the tombstone whore
it could not have been dropped, bnt
must have. been placed deliberately
before death overlook him or by come
other party. The theory of foul play
is not believed to have much to rest
upon, however.
The son, who is working in Boston
in the employ of a brother of Mr.. TUE
ner's has been telegraphed and other
relatives in Marshalltown notified.
Until some of them arrive the boIy
will remain in charge of the coroner
and funeral arrangements will be de-
ferred until then. Turner was seen at
the Chaplin hotel Tuesday evening,
where he had engaged a room for the
night. About nine o'clock he went
out for a walk and was not seen alive
since.
Mr.. Turner was 40 years of age and
was a travelling salesman in the en-
ploy of the w. d. Messenger Paper
Company Chicago. He has made Ois
home in this city for several years,
coming from Marshalltown, where he
learned his trade that of printer. For
many years he was employed in the
Grinnell Herald Office, and from CHAT
position went on the road for the Mes
senger people. He was married about
25 years ago to Miss Mary Holman,
prominent young woman of this CITY,
who died about seven years ago.
About three years ago he was again
married, this time to Miss Maude
Morris. She died two years ago next
spring.
Mr.. Turner was very popular man
and was liked by everyone who knew
him. He has changed considerably
within the past two years, or since the
death of his second wife, and has been
drinking some. He often talked of
the death of his wife and it seemed to

A Thousand Dollars Thrown Away

My wife had lung trouble for over
IS years." writes Mr.. w. w. Baker, OF
Plainview, Neb. I'VE tried a number
of doctors and spent over a thousand
dollars without any relief. She was
very low and l lost all hope, when a
friend suggested trying Foley's Honey
and Tar, which did; and thanks be to
this great remedy, it saved her life.
She is stronger and enjoys better
health than she has ever known in
ten years. We shall never be without
Foley's Honey and Tar and would ask
those afflicted to try it." The proven
ton of consumption is entirely ques-
ton of commencing the proper treat
ment in time Nothing is so well
adapted to ward off ia tai lung trou-
bles as Foley's Honey and Tar.

Kidney complaint kills more people
than any other disease. This is due
to the disease being so iasidious that
it gets a good hold on the system be-
fore it is recognized. Foley's Kidney

this fatal disease If taken in time.

whether or not this use of a seal or
imitation of a seal constitutes a fraud
sufficiently to bring a case under the
penal stateutes of the state. There
was no immediate fraud committed by
the use of the seal. But the evident
purpose was to deceive persons with
the further object of avoiding pay
ment of the fees to the state. All of
the parties concerned profess to have
acted in perfect good faith in the mat
ter. Mr.. Merriam is not in the city
now and it is not known whether he
did in fact authorize the irregular use
of a seal belonging to state Office.
Merriam was president of the Security
at the time the company commenced
to use the certificates with printed
seals. He has since sold out his COM
pany to the National Life and Trus-.
1t is believed he has no connection
with any of the companies now. Mrs.
Merriam is a stock holder in the Ma
tional since the sale of the Security.
The cuts secured from the printer are
now in the state auditors office. One
of the companies yesterday asked per-
mission to use what certificates it had
on hand but the state auditor refused
this permission. The secretary then
sent to the state auditor and on pay
ment of $25 got fifty certificates that
were genuine.

Other state officials are being both
cred with queries relating to these
ten-year gold bond companies. A state
official few days ago received a let
ter from a man in Kansas who said he
had received one of the policies or
bonds, but had not yet paid anything
on it and he wanted some information
before he begun paying. He said that
the agent had assured him that if he
paid 800 a year for ten years he would
get back $4,000, or twice what he had
put in, and that the state of Iowa guar
anteed this. But on receiving the
policy he failed to find the guaranty,
and he therefore wanted to know just
what the state does guarantee before
he paid out of his money. Letters
similar to this have been received by
a number of officials. From this it is
inferred that the certificates with the
spurious seal of a state office are find
ing their way into many states.

ute kidney complaint existing which pre-
vented me from even lying down long IN

Biz Test for Shamrock.
WEYMOUTH, Eng. April 10.-It was de-
oided tonight that the course for tomor-
rows race between Shamrock I and Sham
rock III shall be forty-two miles, seven
miles from Weymouth to Luluwor Cove,
seven miles thence to the SHAMELESS Light
ship, and thence seven miles home, twice
around 70 complete the race. Shamrock 1
will be allowed ten minutes II the wind
is fresh and thirteen and one-half II 1t is
hight.
Shamrock III has not yet been asked to
negotiate a head sea and the likelihood of a
seward breeze tomorrow is welcomed, as
II will give an opportunity OF seeing how
It will acquit itself under such conditions.
TIL race tomorrow will be the first in
which prize money has been offered the
crews.
Sail Plan f. American.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Field comments
on the striking appearance OF Shamrock
III. 1t has a hull, it says, which immedi-
ately recalls the Columbia and leaves the
water and travels as Clearly as the little
HerTeshoff half-rater Weewin. Its sail plan
Is essentially American and appears to
have a greater hoist. Its headsails sit
much higher than those Of any previous
challenger.
The chalienger's performances are in
every respect satisfactory. 1t is quick in
stays, steers easily and it's trim is per-
feet. It is not quite so stiff in a light
breeze as Shamrock l, which, says the
Field, is perhaps a good sign, but 1t heels
over until its covering board is scarcely
awash, after which point 1t seems to have
great stability. Its canvas and gear appear
faultless, the steel pole mast looks of
greater height than Shamrock rs mast and
topmast combined, and It remains to be
seen what an effect this will have in a sea
way.
