Ben Wade Pays the Death Penalty
for Murder of Kate Sullivan.
Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 21.-With his
brother confined in a cell few yards
away awaiting a similar fate, Ben
Wade goes to the electric chair in
the penitentiary annex today to pay
the penalty tor one of the foulest
crimes committed in Ohio in recent
years. Wade has been under sent
ence of death for more than a year
and he entertained hopes to the last
that he might escape the chair. His
hopes were finally dashed to pieces
last week when the Circuit Court
refused to grant a stay of execution.
The Wade brothers were convict
ed of the murder of Kate Sullivan,
who lived in a lonely house near
Toledo. She and her sister. Johanna
Sullivan, were alone in the house
on the evening of April IA, 1900.

MISSIONS REPORT.
Indians Wealthiest People on Face
of the Earth.

Indians WealthIeSt People on race
of the Earth.
Cleveland, O., Oct 21.-The chief
feature of today's session of the
American Missionary Association
was the report of the Indian and
Alaskan missions, presented by Rev.
Robt. w. Mclaughlin Of Grand Rap
ids, Michigan. He emphasized the
fact that the Indians, relatively few
in numbers-'the negroes number
forty times as many as the Indians"
If the money the Indians have in
vaults in U. S. Government should
be divided equally among them and
they should give up separate reser-
vations, as a nation they would con-
stitute the wealthiest people, per
capita, upon the face of the globe.
The standing problem is to do less
for the Indian and how to give him
appreciation of his possessions bas-
ed upon his character. In this res
pect, the Christian church can do
more for him than the government.

DOCTOR GETS HIS MONEY
Brought suit Against James Keen
of This City to Secure Med

Canton Sept. 14.-The jury in the
case OF DR.. a. II. Rogers. of this
city, against James Keen, Of. Mitch
ell. the well known sheep and cattle
man, this morning brought in a YER
dict for DIR. Rogers. Owing TO the
prominence Of the parties to the suit
the case has created great interest
throughout this locality, and espec-
tally among the medical fraternity
in this part of the state among whom
it will probably establish a president
by which they may govern their
charges for service in the cases OF
small poX and other contagious dis
eases. The action was brought by
DR.. Rogers to ecoye bis compensa-
tion for treating Mr.. Keen while the
latter was seriously i'll from small
pox about a year ago. The doctors
claim amounted to $3.50 for fifteen
days Of service rendered. The bill
was made higher than the ordinary
because, owing to the exceeding SER
iousness OF the case the plaintiff
claimed he had lost a great amount
Of other practice, people stunning
him because he vas treating a case
of smallpox. Keen considered the
claim exorbitant and refused to pay
it, and several Of the most promin-
ent local physicians testified to the
same thing, but the jury in render
ing their verdict found for the plain
tiff, but reduced his claim to $3.50.

Pudding Cups.

An article in the Burlington Maya.
zine describes some early English
earthenware drinking cups Of eccentric
patterns. The principal feature Of most
Of the quaint tygs, OF loving cups, is
their astonishing number Of handles,
which range from two to as many as
twelve. 1t is supposed that the purpose
Of this equipment was that the cup
might pass from hand to hand and

good sized cups joined together. When
it is realized that the six cups commu-
nicate with each other internally, so
that to empty II you must empty all,
the force Of the name will be apparent.

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make It the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
pratt1e and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch-
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
GUS by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.
It makes and keeps the children well.
