A CONTINUAL STRAIN.

Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
"a continual strain because of me
financial or family trouble. It wears and
d;stres ses them bot mentally and phys
ically. affecting their nerves badly and
bringing on liver and kidney ailments,
with the attendant evils of constipation,
loss of appetite. sleeplessness, low vital
ity and dependency. They cannot, as
rule. get rid of this, continual strain"
but they can remedy it's health-destroy-
ing effects by taking frequent doses of
Green's August Flower. It tones up
the liver, stimulates the kidneys, insures
healthy bodily functions, gives vim and
spirit to ones whole being, and event
ually dispells the physical or mental dis.
tress caused by that continual strain. y

The fight occurred in the front room

and started to walk down Pine street.
The detectives closed in on him, and
after he had gone some distance from

SIN ENDS IN TRAGEDY
Woman Dies After an Assault Up
on Her by the Son of Her
Paramount.
AsSAILANT is LODGED IN JAIL
Another Murder Traced to the Same
Scandal Fatal Battle Between
Officers and Thugs.

Peoria, H., Oct 22.-Richard Hig-
gins, prominent young man of this
city and the son of member of the
county board Of supervisors, is at the
county jail charged with a sensational
murder, and his sister, Miss Jennie
Higgins, is under police surveillance
as an accessory before and after the
fact. but has not been placed under
arrest. The young people are charged
with being responsible for the death
of Mrs. Nellie Thomasson, of Lacon.
who died Thursday evening and who
it is alleged, was the paramount Of the
senior Higgins, father of the accused
young people.
Letter Came at the Wrong Time.
Mrs. Thomasson formerly lived in
this city, where her husband still re-
sides. The couple separated and it is
alleged Higgins was responsible for the
separa ton. Mrs. Thomassone went to
Lacon to live with her mother. but
came to Peoria frequently to see Hig-
gins. Last Friday the son and daugh-
ter intercepted a letter from the wo-
man, in which she said she was COM
ing to this city the next day to meet
Higgins. Their father was out Of the
city and the young people went to meet
her instead. They received her at the
boat landing and induced her to go
with them to the Rock Island station
at the noon hour None of the en-
ployes was there, and there are no
witnesses to what took place.
Died Without Making Statement.
That the woman was terribly beaten
by the young people became evident
when the employees at the station re-
turned and found her lying senseless
and bleeding in the waiting room.
There was every evidence Of strug-
gle and the floor was covered with
blood Mrs. Thoma ssOn would say moth
ing about the affair at the time eX
cept that she had been set upon and
beaten. and asked to be placed on the
train for her home. This was done.
and although several attempts were
made to obtain a statement from her
she dled without giving one. Sne nau

to break up the rela between my

and I went down to see if we could
not make arrangements with her. We
met her in the waiting room. | went
up to her and touched her on the
shoulder. Mrs. Thomasson, believe

oh, it's you, is it?' and drew out her

over a chair" His sisters corroborates
this.

CANDIDATES COMPARED.
why Theodore Roosevelt Is More Popu.
lar than Alton B. Parker.

why Theodore Roosevelt Is More Popu.
lar than Alton B. Parker.
The New York Sunday Democrat,
newspaper that recently bolted Parker
and came out for Roosevelt, in giving
the reasons why the Parker campaign
is languishing and the Roosevelt cam
paign is booming, says:
Judge Parker has few of the attri-
butes of popularity; Theodore Roose-
welt has them all.
Parker is timid; Roosevelt is brave.
Parker is controlled by friends and
patrons; Roosevelt is independent
Parker represents no policy and has
no political record; Roosevelt is one of
the acknowledged progressive states
men of the century and his record is
the record of the sunshine years of
militant and advancing Americanism.
Gas there is practically no one to
vigorously oppose there is no one to
zeal standard-bearer. Theodore Roose
welt invites the fire Of partisan enemies
and attracts to his support thousands
Of patriotic and earnest admirers.
Judge Parker is weak candidate,
an unwise candidate, an unfortunate
candidate for the Presidency. A life
of judicial monOtony and exclusion
from political affairs does not appeal
to the allegiance of partisans. Theo-
dofe Roosevelt is strong, vigorous,
an invincible candidate for the Presi-
dency. He is a man of action nOmi-
mated for an electorate of Astounding
energy, force and progress. He u.s. es-
pecially. the idol of the young men Of
the country.
1T is, therefore, not at all surpris-
ing rthatssas the voters contrast these
two candidates they should be ire
sistibly drawn to one-to Roosevelt
and should be repealed from or become
Indifferent to his antagonist, Parker.
Such is the present trend of the cam
paign and it is decidedly favorable to
President Roosevelt. No reasonable
doubt for his election exists or is en-
tertained by anyone familiar with pol
tiles, Democrat or Republican"

NEW DEVELOPMENT OF THE CASE
Murder of q Detective Is Connected with
the Scandal and Assault.

Murder of a Detective Is Connected with
the Scandal and Assault.
The connection of the late Detective
William f. Murphy, who was MUIR
dered under such sensational circum-
stances in this city last June, proved
startling development Of the case
later. 1t appears that on the night he
was killed that Murphy was shadow
ing John III. Higgins at the instance
of the members of the family. He
was called from this duty to investi
gate burglary on Second street. At
8 o'clock that night he was killed.
Either that night or the following
one Richard Higgins says that Mrs.
Thomasson called up the house by
telephone and said: Murphy was a
good friend of yours. Well! He got
his tonight Kierans La fellow detec-
tive of Murphy is your friend. too.
He will get his next" In an addition
al statement just given Richard Hig-
gins says that his uncle, Douglass Nc
Donald. arrived at the Rock Island sta
ton at the same time he did. His
uncle stood By when the alleged as
sault took place, and took him by the
arm. saying: Come away you will
be arrested: you can't do anything with
her"
Higgins says that his family had
offered Mrs Thoma sson large sums OF
money to break the liaison but
she had always refused. He declares
that she frequently called up the resi-
dence by telephone and tainted them
upon their failure to break off the
relations. Already formidable array
OF counsel has been engaged by the
family to defend the young man.

WAS DEMOCRACY INSANE?
\. So, Bryan Was a Lunatic, According to
MIR. Cleveland.

n; So, Bryan Was a Lunatic, According to
MIR. Cleveland.
Democracy has returned to san
ity," said Grover Cleveland recently,
irl an interview.
This statement, made with all the
solemn ponderosity of which Mr.. Cleve-
land is capable. would imply that the
Democratic party has been insane and
it's leaders set of lunaticS. In pre-
vious interviews Mr.. Cleveland con-
tented hiluself with merely saying that
Democracy had strayed from the right
path after strange gods when it en-
braced Bryanism, but since the defeat
OF the Bryan faction at st. Louis he
has been secretly rejoicing over the
apparent downfall of his most bitter
political enemy. and ON Oct. 2. at Buzz
yards Bay, he virtually declared that
Mr.. Bryan was a mailman.
How do the friends of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana. Illinois. Nebraska and other
states relish having their leader called
a lunatic? Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness and if the Democratic party has
returned to sanity" it must first have
been insane, ard. by the same reason
ing, If the party was insane because
Mr.. Bryan was its leader Mr.. Bryan
himself must have been the chief lu-
matte.
Candidate Parker is generally adj
mitted to be a nOnentity in his party
tool Of Hill, Sheehan and others
and what he says counts for little, but
it is different when Mr. Cleveland
talks. He is the oracle Of the Eastern
Democracy. and if he says Bryan is in
sane it is certaig he voices the senti-
ments of sane Democracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such
a Islander on their leader by supporting
Parker: Mr.. Cleveland declined to
vote for Mr.. Bryan Oh the ground that
the Nebraskan was insane, but he will
vote for Parker because he leads the
'ane" Democracy ticket
An important point seems to have
been forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Par
ker voted twice for the Nebraska ''lu-
Aatic" and was therefore one Of the
host Of madmen who composed lin
sane" Democracy. Does Mr.. Cleveland
improve his positions by now support
ing one of the madmen who voted for
the leader of insane" Democracy?
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and will. no doubt. be re-
sented at the polls. for the friends of
Mr.. Bryan do not think lie should be
put in the straitjacket class.
