her and she burst into a aood OF tears

Little Patrick Fitzgerald testified that
en- the day that his baby sister Was killed
his mother acted very strange. She fre-

The promptness with which the case

reflects great credit on the new prosecu-

from ms examination into the circum-

the murderess the Prosecutor had true

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From catarrh Knows

Powders, lotions. salves. sprays. and inhalers

to the throat, causing deafness by closing the
Eustachian tubes and arter time causing

A remedy TO really cure catarrh must be an
internal remedy which will cleanse the blood
from, catarrhal poison and remove the fever
and congestion from the mucous memrane.
The best and most modern remedies for this
purpose are antiseptics scientifically known as
Red Gum, Blood Root. and Hydrastin, and
while each OF these have been successfully
used separately. yet it has been difficult t9 get
them all combined in palatable, coayen-

The restless eyes and nervous twitch-
ing Of the hands of the unfortunate wo-
man were the only outward evidence of
the diseased brain which had caused her
TO take the life of the one dearest to her
on earth, her baby.
A gleam Of seeming intelligence seemed
to slowly light up the face of the miser-
able mother as the particulars of her
crime contained in the true bill recently
found against her by the Grand Jury
were read by Prosecutor VIM. H. Speer.
When asked to plead guilty or not guilty
she looked supplicatingly at the court as
she said laconically:-

Then all sembIance of reason seemed
to leave her. and she laughed and cried
Historically as she was led from the court
