Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
sEmulSioniSt hemod.
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive StomachS.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

:, Iowa City, Iowa, Dec. 5.-Lord
Steyne, a character in .Thackeray's
famous novel, Vanity Fair" is on
trial in the court of the junior law
class at the state university, charged
with alienation of the affections of
brought by Sir Rawden Crawley to
recover 100000 damages.
The trial opened yesterday, with
Judge Horace B. Deemer of the state
supreme court on the bench. Judge
Deemer presided at the famous trial
OF Hamlet on a charge of murder, last
year, by the junior class The trial is
attracting much attention at the uni
versity.
Important testimony for the defense
was brought out to-day in the cross
examination of Butler tGarretson, the
chief witness for Sir Rawdon Crawley.
Lord Steyne's Money.
s Garretson stated that Becky de-
5celved LORD, Stey11e in. regard to the
amount that she owed Mrs. Briggs,
and told him double the amount,
money was not paid over to Sir Raw
don, the butler stated that he did not
Know OF any such payment. Asked
Ii. there was not apparent to him, as
a person habitually about the house,
that there was an agreement between
PIE sstaWQOn and ms Wife that she
should cajoles the guests: while Sir
RaWdon feeced them. the butler
stated that he did not have sufficient
knowledge to form belief.
Sir Rawdon Crawley, according to
Thea testimony Of the butler, was a
gambler, a man who won large sums
on card tables and also lost large
sums. He was never known to work
and the source of the money he spent
was unknown to the butler.
Becky's Changing Moods.
Lord Steyne's advent added much
ITO the hospitality of the house Things
We're. always going on after that.4En-
terta1nment was carried on with a
lavish hand testified the butler. In
the presence of. Lord Steyne, Lady
CraWIey seemed to have a buoyancy
Of spirits that she did not have when
he was absent.
SO far as 1 know, Sir Rawdon
never objected to any of his wffe's
guests. He seemed to enjoy them and
was not ayerse, SO far as could tell
to accepting the money of any or all
of them over the card tables
me witness was asked if Becky
Sharpe Crawley was not, in fact, a
dutiful and loving wife to Sir Rawdon
That depends upon what you call
loving" said the witness. Whenever
her husband was about, her demeanor
was decidedly chilly. She snapped at
him and talked in provoking man
ner. This was all after Lord Steyne's
advent. Before that I observed no
GOODNESS OR snappy speeches.

ing been set free by the court at Will

county has telegraphed the Delaware
authorities to hold Taylor until he
arrives to bring him back to iowa to
answer to a similar charge in iowa.
Taylor, a handsome young Bible
student at Wesleyan university, Mt.
Pleasant, achieved an enviable repu-
tation. as an evangelist. Two years
ago he married Florence B. Graves,
the belle, of Martinsburg. A brother
from Delaware visited him, discov-
cred that he had a wife and child
here and, returning to Delaware: APP
prised the real Mrs. I. B. Taylor, who
with her two children had been de-
serted two years before, of the situa-
ton. :
The real Mrs. Taylor sent for. her
husband and he returned to Della
ware to settle the case out Of court.
She had him arrested. but under the
Delaware law it was held both wives
must live In that state to constitute
bigamy. The Iowa wife at first re-
fused to prosecute and commenced
taking in sewing to. support herself
and child but her approaching &C.
couchement has stirred her father to
insist on the filing. of charges which
will cause his return to. Iowa.

Craddock, while making an examina-
ton of an abandoned shaft prepara-
tory to closinggit for good, discovered
the body of a recently born baby boy,
Z. hundred and fifty feet under

corpse were the sleeves of a woman's
shirtwaist, tightly drawn, showing
that the infant had been strangled

womans underelothing and a mans
old shirt. Fresh blood clots on the
body indicated that the corpse had

secreting the body several hours the
abandoned shaft would have been
closed and the tragedy would prob
ably never have been made known.

Colfax, Iowa, Dec. 5.-Banker G.. D.
Wood of ColfaX faced by a check for
$4,000 for county funds, which he
could not honor, took a revolver and
blew his brains out. A week ago
be. expected to turn over to the OUT

man, $4,000 in funds belonging to
Polk county. The same day he called
upon his brother, who is In the hard
ware business, and asked that an or
der be sent to Chicago for special
make of revolver.
+ Treasurer Layman, in Des Moines,
drew his check for $4,000 on the
Bank. of Colfax, and the check was
taken UP by the local clearing-ho
end forwarded by the night mail to
{ ColfaX. Yesterday the banker re-
ceived the check. He called John
Maine, partner in the stock business.
and R.1A. Penquite, associated with
Wood. in the bank, to his residence at
10 o'clock and told them that business
matters had weakened his brain and
he must give up. The lifetime friends
tried to calm the banker. but he re-
fused to be comforted. Excusing him
self, Wood left the men. He slammed
the door behind him and in another
moment the pistol shot rang out. The
banker was picked up dead. .@.4st~s-z.
Bank in Distress.
Mr.. Penquite, cashier, admits that
the bank is in hard lines financially,
but says that the depositors will be
paid In full. He asserts that the
banks owned by Wood at Ira, Mingo,
Baxter and Mitchellville are solvent.
Woods property holdings are valued
at 100000. Mrs. Wood has insisted
that all be sold at once to satisfy her
husbands creditors. -
Y The deposits at Woods five banks
amount to more than 81, 100000. All
of. the banks have been closed until
after the funeral, which will be held
next Monday. Great uneasiness'is felt
in financial circles in central Iowa be-
cause of the admitted insolvency of
the Bank of 'Colfax and the fear that
the other four banks may be involved.
= Polk county funds deposited in the
Bank Of Colfax and also in the Wood
bank at Mitchellville are protected by
bond. Eli Dotson, a wealthy. farmer,
will have to pay the county for any
shortage. The deposit made at Colfax
by Treasurer Layman is the first coun-
ty money ever, deposited outside of
the county. -
