all other products of the farm the past
two years. The farmer. who raised
his corr and hogs the past two years,
is the man who has made the easy
money, and acquired the snug bank
account. Cattle have not kept pace
with hogs, and it has taken an excep-

make both ends meet on a cattle deal,
but many of them have more than play

"I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years l have suffered more misery and agony than can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds Of dollars for physicians prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our pres ent home, and one day 1 happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's $ Collie, Cholera and Darrhna Remedy with testimonial of a man who has been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that concluded to try the remedy.

On Friday morning last in the town of Sherman there occurred one of the most brutal and heinous cases of as sault and murder on record in Fairfield county criminal histOry-an estimable young married woman being struck to the ground by cruel blows on the back of the head with the claws of an ordi- nary hammer, while her husbands sister, girl of 15 years, had her throat cut with razor by the fiend who wielded the hammer.
 The wretch guilty of these atrocious crimes, Peter J. Worden, then cut his own throat and later when carried to an adjoining room, put bullet in his head oyer the temple with 22-calibre revolver. The awful affair took place at the farm of Orlando B. Pepper, To- cated about three and One-half miles southwest from Sherman center, in COburn district MT Pepper is one of the substantial and respected citizens of the town, and is naturally distressed at the notoriety and unpleasantness caused by the sad tragedy. MT Pepper had to assist him on his farm, Sherman Roscoe, a young man of about 25 years of age, who is married and has one child two years of age. About three weeks ago, or little less, it appears that MT Roscoe sent a letter to his uncle, Peter J. Worden, of Carmel, N. Y., inviting him to come and make him visit. Worden had met with an
