The defendant then told how she
went back to bed and arose in the
morning and washed the blood from
the ak and returned the rifle to the
house. She also admitted all the sub.
terfuges she had made use of subse-
quent to the killing to conceal the deed,
rdirg the letter to her sister, Jo-
sephine, the burning Of the rawhide
rope, the removal of the pistol to her
own room and various and conflicting
explanations to neighbors and detec-
tives. All this she did for concealment
and said the reason she did not dis
close the facts sooner was that she was
afraid to, as she feared an unfair trial
and had no one to advise her.
The woman went into a recital of
De Lartigue's alleged cruelty to her.
She disclaimed any malice against her
husband, but said she could not bring
herself to give herself up to the au.
thorities, although she felt justified in
the act, and she had pursued all the
methods she had of diverting suspicion
to conceal crime of which she felt
justified in committing.
A bitter contest is now being waged
over the question Of whether the de-
ceased was killed by bullets from a
firearm in the hands of the defendant
or by an ak, as she has stated. The
theory Of blunt weapon is the only
one consistent with the plea of self de-
tense, for if killed by gun shots, as
alleged by the state, De Lartigue was
shot from behind, which fact disposes
of the idea of self defense.
The defense has demanded that the
court order the body of the deceased
exhumed, and that the skull be exam
ined by disinterested physicians to de-
termine the exact character Of the
wounds.

BAbY'S FUTURE.
Something for Mothers
TO Think About.
Lives of Suffering and
Sorrow AVerted

Assured by
CuticuraSoap, Ointment and Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfguring hui
mours Of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object of the most tender 40
licitude. not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the disiguration is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty Of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp Of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation. and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills. to cool the blood in the severer
cases. are all that can be desired for the
alienation of the suffering of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort If WORKOUT parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts.

of falling hair, for softenihg, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chafings,

many sanative. antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

house committed suicide last night by
taking sixty grains of morphine. Two
physicians We're summoned but no relief
could be given. McDaniels was room

a married man. but was not living with
his wife, the two having separated, it is
said, short. time ago. Mrs. McDaniels
taking rooms in the Green block. The
only motive ascribed for the mans self
murder is said to be fear that another
man residing here would do him bodily
injury. the story being current that the
husband of former friend of the fam
lily had threatened him. 1t is also said
that this was the cause of the couple sep
arating. Mr. McDaniels. early in the
evening, told Moss, his room mate, that
he was going to Kill himself, and after
he had drank the poison told Moss Of
what he had done. Mrs. McDaniels, when
told of the suicide this morning, at once
went TO see her former husbands re-
mains and exhibited signs of great grief.
The deceased was Sc years old and once

HAS BEEN PROSPEROUS YEAR.
Local Y. M. c. A. Did Much Work
in 1902

The annual report of the secretary of
| the Wichita Y. NJ. c. A. was made pub
| lie yesterday. 1t shows the association
to be in a fiourishing condition. Every
bill has been paid and there is a small
| sum left in the bank. The meetings
have been very well attended and much
good has been accomplished. The gym
| nasium was started something over a
year ago, and the report shows that ii
had been greatly appreciated by the
young men of the city.
The report in full is as follows:

Annual Report of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association of Wichita. Kansas,
for the year January /, 1902, TO Deem
Der 81, 1902.
Another year has passed and the year
1902 takes its part in the history of the
Young Mems Christian association of
Wichita. While the work of the year
has not been all that it might have been,
some gains over last year have been no
ticed. The following is synopsis of our
work in departments:

meetings for men. AZ: total attendance,

tendance. August "a Il: largest attend
ance. May 4, 100; personally dealt with,

number of Bible classes. 80; attend
ance, 10l.
Greater effort should be put forth on
the part of those risen in Christ that
they might go forth and compel others
to come in and partake OF the gospel
feast.
Memoership-We are constantly add
ing new members to our list As some
drop out. others fill their places, so we
have many opportunities of speaking a
cheering word and encouraging the young
men on their life's journey. The present
enrolment is: Sustaining. &c. active
members. lis; associate. 1874; junior. 30;
total 430.
Seventeen visits to the sick have been
made and 1850 invitations distributed
upon the streets.
Sometimes it seems as though our in
Vitations were thrown to the wind but
now and then man is led to a higher
spiritual life. and We feel repaid for
efforts put forth.

uations filed. 10; directed to boarding
houses, 30; letters of Introduction. =;

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But 1t Has Proven Of Interest ans
Value to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that il

and digest, ard that food should b. albu

beefsteak and cereals; in other words.
the kinds OF food that make flesh are the
foods which form the greater part of our
daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we ea,

stomach from abuse and overwork
does not properly digest and assim-
late il, which is the reason so
many people remain thin and under
weight; the digestive organs do not COM
pietely digest the fiesh-forming beefsteak
and eggs and similar wholesome food
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics. although
they may have no particular pain cr
inconvenience from their stomachs.
II such persons would lay their preju-
dices aside and make regular practice
OF taking, after each meal. one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. the food
would be quickly and thoroughly di-
gested. because these tablets contain
the natural peptones and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks. and by sup
plying this want the stomach is soon
enabled TO regain its natural tone and
vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of fesh-forming food, meat. eggs.
bread and potatoes, and this is the reason
they so quickly build up. strengthen ard

and children.
Invalids and children. even the most
delicate. use them with marked benefit.
as they contain no strong, irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful in

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
successful and widely known Of any rem
edy for stomach troubles. because it is
the most reasonable and scientific of
modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada. as well as in Great Britain. at 30
cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure any

breaches to LOndOnerS

A cable to the New York Herald from
London says: The latest exponent OF
the Observation-Disclosures theory is
o young woman from California, by
the name of GwendOlin Stewart. She
has announced that her native States
has solved the servant problem, and
she has come to England to bring the
glad tidings. In recent lecture Miss
Stewart said:
The American housewife who does
her own work is by no means Il domcs-
tic slave. During the morning she
works. Work does her good; her do
nestle tasks are done easily, quickly
ana thoroughly"
In explaining further in answer TO
questions as to how the American
housewife gets along without servants
the lecturer said: The American man
and woman wear rubbers when 1t is
wet. These are easily washed The
woman cleans her boots with liquid
backing, which requires far less labor
than the old paste backing. Knife
cleaning is not necessary, because thu
electro-platcd knives are universally
used. AS to answering the door, why
should you not answer your own door?
There Is something incredible in the
notion that you degrade yourself by
opening your door to a caller"
