goers 1t was given in German under
the title of "Gespenster" at the Irving
Place theater, New York city, in 1901,
and in 1897 it was given under the name
of ssRevenants" at the Theater-Libre,
Paris and carried the French metropo-
lis by storm. Several revivals of the
play have been made in the English
language. The most important ever
given in this country was seen in New
York this season when Mary Shaw
scored a tremendous hit in the leading
role. So unqualified was her success
that it was decided to take the play on
the road for a short tour at the cOnclu-

ROBE ABOUT HIS NECK.
But the Coroner Is in Doubt About
the Suicide Theory.


New York May f8.-Two men have
been arrested by order of the coroner in
connection with the death Of Hirsch
Niesman, a baker, who was at first
supposed to have committed suicide.
Clesman's body was found i'm the cellar
or building on First street used a 8 a
bake shop Around his neck was a rope
attached to a gas fixture. The body
was in an erect attitude and the feet
rested squarely on the floor. If Ciesman
took his own life by strargulation he
must have thrown his weight upon the
rope by drawing up his knees. His neck
was not broken, although there were
several scratches upon it.
On the mans head was a fantastic
covering A bandage had been drawn
tightly over the forehead. crossed at the
back of the neck, and then brought
around under the chin and securely
knotted- over the face was a woman s
veil Of light gray and about the head
was a covering of green mosquito net
ting The body was maltreated in such
a way as to indicate that some one
wrought upon it savage revenge.
Ciesman was employed by the owner
Of the bakery. He had been second man
at the shop until two months ago. when
the first baker, Louis Gavora. was taken
i'll and obliged to go to "A hospital Cies-
man then became first braker and KoI-
man Jouos was employed as his helper
Gavora came back a few days ago and
tried to get his old position back but
was unable to- do so. The coroner has
been informed that Gavora made

Republicans nominated a straight par

publican candidate met a new conner in
the county, who didn't know any of the
men running personally. and addressing
him, said: My friend. who are you
going to vote for for county attorney"
The answer came back promptly: Il

friends tell me there is an independent
candidate. and I can't vote for him. and
I have heard the Republican candidate

Chamberlain Cough Remedy" says
Frank w. Perry, editor of the Enter
prise, Shortsville, n. Y. This is the
honest truth. / at times kept from
coughing myself to pieces by taking
a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come
on at night l would take dose and
it seemed that in the briefest inter
val the cough would pass off and 1
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and its accompanying pains.
To say that the remedy acted as a
most agreeable surprise is putting it
very mildly. l had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because / had never tried it
for such a purpose, but it did, and it
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be of less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and l had not
used the contents of one bottle before
Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale
