DRANK CARBOLIC ACID
Fanny Wilfong Took Horrible
Draught to End her Life.


Dose of oyer two 0unces-Life may be
be Sayed-Act was Premeditated-
Wrote Letter of FareWell-Alleges
Fathers Cruelty as the Cause-Was
Staying at Default Home, South
Morgautown.
Miss Fanny Wilfong made desper.
ate attempt to end her life at the
home of her cousins, Mr.. and Mrs.
Default, who live on the old Barney
Watts property, South Morgantown,
shortly after seven o'clock Thursday
evening, by drinking two ounces OF
earbolie acid. Mrs. DEFAULT saw her
drink the acid, and resortod to heroic
measures TO save the girls life. A
physician was called and rendered
what aid he could, and although horri-
bly, burned about the lips, mouth, and
throat, she may recover.
Miss Wilfong left her home in Fair
mont some time ago, and sought en-
ployment in tae country, Later she
came to the DEFAULT home, and has
bean living there since. She complains
that her father mistreated her, and
for this reason, she ran away from
home. She says she sent word back
for Der clothes aud other possessions,
but be would not send them to her.
She possesses a watch which she prizes
highly, and this also he kept from her,
Some money she had saved up, she
says he spent in furnishing his
house.
The girl was as cheerful as usual
yesterday evening. She ate good
supper and afterwards went with the
Default children to drive the cows
home. When she returned, she went
upstairs and remained for some time.
Afterwards, it was learned she was
writing a farwell letter.
When the girl came down, she went
to the cupboard, took out small bot
tie, and placed it TO her lips. Mrs.
DsVault was in the room. She knew
the girl had not been baking medicine,
AMI asked her what ske was drinking.
There was no reply, bat Mrs. DeVavlt
caught the odor of cafbolic acid, and
ran to the girl to stop her. She whirl-
ed away, and succeeded in swallowing
all the contents of the bottle.
| Mrs. Default at once forced her to
drink large amount of milk to pre-
vent the effect of the acid on the in
testines, and gave her salt and snuff
to produce vomiting. A boy was sent
to the pump-station on the run to call
a physician by phone. He did all
that could be done, and the girl will
probably recover.
The letter which the girl had writ
ten showed conclusiyely that her at
tempt at self-destruction was premedi-
tated. She had said farewell to her
relatives and friends, and to the world,
and recited at some length the trouble
with her father given above. She
gave as her reason for committing sui
eide the mistreatment she had receiv-
ed at the hands OF her father. During
the day she had remarked to her cous-
| in, 'safter they have taken all that is
mine, what is left for me?o
Mr.. Wilfong came down ON the late
train from Fairmont last night. He
says he knows nothing of his daugh-
ter's charges of mistreatment, and has
always treated her as he thought
| right.

Castles 10 shelter Hin.

Emperor William owns SO estates,
besides So castles. These estates foot
up 30O,0 acres. and the income from
them is about 100000.
But several Of the great landed pro-
prietors, the prince of Pless and the
duke Of Ratibor among them. have far
more extensive landed possessions
than their imperial master.
However, the emperor's property is
big enough TO require an ever-increas-
ing army Of agents TO look after il and
rs constantly increasing. IL is not an
uncommon thing for a German prince
or wealthy owner of landed estates
TO leave house or land 70 the en-
peror. This was the case of the castle
and the estate of Cadinen, where the
empress spends her happiest days.
Enormous sums go to the support
of the SO castles. The emperor has
only visited 80 of the SO, yet he is build
ing another castle on a huge scale in
the town Of Posen to be Prussian
royal residence among the Poles.
Perched on three of the most pictur-
esque crags on the ravine are three Of
the emperor's most interesting castles.

WHAT is cATARRH ?
Hyomei Cures this Common and Disagree
able Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing il into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane, en-
ters the blood with the oxygen and
kills the germs present there, effectu-
ally driving this disase from the sys-
tenn.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous menu
bronze of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or tissues of the lungs:
Offensive breath, dryness of the
nose. pain across the eyes, pain in
back of the head, pain in front of the
head. tendency to take cold, burning
pain in the throat, hawking to clear
the throat, pain in the chest, a cough.
stitch in side, losing of flesh, variable
appetite. low spirited at times, raising
of frothy mucous, expectorating yell
low matter, difficulty in breathing,
frequent sneezing, huskiness OF voice.
discharge from the nose, stoppage OF
the nose at night, aching of the body,
droppings in the throat, mouth open
while sleeping, tickling back of the
palate. formation of crusts in the
nose, dryness of the throat in the
morning, loss of strength, spasmss of
coughing, cough short and hacking,
cough worse nights and mornings,
loss in vital force, feeling of tight
ness across the upper part OF the
chest.
Hyomei will cure the disease, and
these symptoms will disappear. This
is a strong statement, but Feldmey-
err Brothers emphasize it by agreeing
to refund your money if Hyomei does
