More than this he had failed to
provide himself with weapon other
than an ordinary pocket knife, such
as the ordinary man carries about
his daily business. This was the
tool that inflicted the wounds, this
and hammer, owned by the victim
and picked up by the criminal after
be had reached the upstairs rooms.
1t is at this point that those who
believe the murder deliberately
planned differ. Close friends of the
doctor who were 10 his Office prob
ably more than anybody else, say
that they never saw the hammer be-

it was car yied there by the criminal
with the purpose of using it to kill
his intended victim.

Mrs. Aston Didn't Know.

Mrs. Astor, the head of the Aston
family, attended during her recent Eu-
ropean tour garden party in the Eng
fish midlands.
Mrs. Astor's dignity is great. It re-
sembles that of a duchess of the old
school; hence certain young officer
should have been wiser at the garden
party than to say to her as he took out
his cigarette case:
Does smoking incommode you, mad
amp
II don't know, really" Mrs. Astor
answered. NO gentleman has ever
smoked in my presence" = Baltimore

he knew anything about these Austria
lians
Il only know that eleven of them
once beat all England"

Voice from Arkansas.

Cleveland, Ark, August Is (Special).-
Nearly every newspaper tells of some Won
derful cure of some form of Kidney Disease
by the Great American Remedy, Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and this part of Arkansas is
not without its share of evidence that no
case is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney
Pills to cure.
Mr.. A. E. Garlic, we'll known and highly
respected here, tells of his cure after nearly
a quarter of a century's suffering. Mr..
Garlic says:
81 want to let the public know what l
think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. | think they
are the best remedy for sick kidneys ever
made.
Il had Kidney Trouble for % years and
never found anything that did me SO much
good as Dodd's Kidney Pills. recommend
them to all sufferers"
There is no uncertain sound about Mr..
Carlile's statement. He knows that Dodd's
Kidney Pills rescued him from a life of suf-
fering and he wants the public to know it.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney ills
from Backache to Bright's Disease.

CORY INDIAN BALL A
Contests Often More Desperate Than
the Worst Seen on the
Gridiron.

Indian ball is a peculiar, a fascinating
and a bloody game. 1t is played on a
ground almost like a gridiron. There
are two goals $50 yards apart, and the
object is to pass the ball between these
goals. The ball is like a baseball, the
Indians making them themselves with
yarn covered with deerskin. A stick
about two feet long with a spoon shape
at the end backed by thong laces is used,
and in this spoon the Indians must catch
the ball. He is not allowed to touch
1t with his hands. He catches and
throws with his club.
The game is a skirmish all the time.
and there are 20 players on a side. An
Indian catches the ball in his stick if
he is skillful. He starts on a run for his
goal. He is Immediately tackled by all
his opponents, and the scene closely re-
sembles a down" He runs as far as
he can, and then tries to throw the
ball. The opposing players balk at
him at every move. They strike his
stick If they can, and if not, they strike
whatever is in reach, often the head
Of the player.
The games are sometimes bloody, es-
pecially when played between rival
towns, and many a player has been
killed in the game. When women play
they are allowed to use their hands in
addition to their sticks. They can
throw the ball any way they like. They
are as fleet as the men, and with the adj
vantage oftheir hands often win. A game
consists of 81 points, and there is no
time limit. They play until one side
has put the ball through the goal II
times.
