Columbia, Mo-, June 20.-A
COMPARISON of authorities by the
University of Missouri shows that
the people of the United States
pass out annually, thru their back
doors, nearly 10 million dollars in
the form of old clothes and cold
victuals to 10000 tramps. Still
50 per cent of these Weary Will
lies" have trade or profession
and could make Il living if this an
tipathy for work had not seized
them. "About 90 per cent of the
American "hobOes" are married
men. Driven from their homes
by their wives" is the comment Of
one of the Missouri species. Sta
tistics show that more than 80 per
cent of the number of tramps ere
made so by Intoxicating liquors.
DR.. Charles A. ElIwoOd of the
sociology department of the Uni

CHuRcH.s TRIAL.
Judge johnson, Holding
Court in Mexico Last
Week, Is DlsquaI-
flied.

Warrenton, Mo-, June 20. The
trial of William f. Church, self
confessed murderer of his foster
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry w.
Yeater, on August 81, 1903, came
up in the circuit court here today
and brought to the city a large
crowd.
The crime with which Church is
charged is one of the most shock
ing in the criminal history Of the
State, and one that has attracted
widespread interest. A blood
stained note found in the rural
mail box, reading, Mr.. and Mrs.
Yeater have been killed." and
signed William L. Church, was the
first clue to lead to TIE awful
tragedy, and upon investigation
resulted in the finding of the old
couple at their home, with their
throats cut from ear to ear.
Church, who was suspected and
had made good his escape from
the country, was at large until the
25th day of last March, when he
was apprehended at the navy yards
in Philadelphia.
Long before Church was brought
into court this morning the room
was crowded with spectators
to overlooking, many ladies being
present.
9. X. Ball, attorney for defend
ant, filed a motion disqualifying
Judge johnson. The prosecution
and Judge Johnson knowing that
this step would be taken by the de-
tense, had prepared to meet it by
cllling Judge Nat. NJ. Shelton of
Macon, Mo-, to sit in the case. The
defense objected to Judge Shelton,
and suggested that a member of
the bar from the judicial circuit he
selected to act as special judge.
Time was granted until l o.
clock this afternoon for the attor-
neys to agree upon the selection
of a special judge. Failing to
agree, Judge Shelton who was
present, was called to the bench
aud Immediately took charge of the
case.
The defense then introduced a
motion in which it is alleged that
Church is now insane and unable
to tender his counsel assistance in
his defense. This motion was
supported by the affidavit of DR..
David Hudson of Montgomery
City, who, with DR.. George C.
Crandall of st. Louis, had exam
ined Chureh's mental condition.

Kidney Pills with great advantage, re-
Iates his experience thus: Il have been
a hack driver for a number of years
past and this is an occupation in
which. through exposure to weather
and much jumping up and down from
the vehicle, one is particularly liable to
kidney complaint. I suffered myself
from a lame back for a long while. and
in my anxiety to get rid of it tried
several things which did not reach the
root OF my trouble. An advertisement
acquainted me with what grand work
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were
doing, and / got some of them at the

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face of this idea the "impos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's way. eff we
could but rob cod liver oil of
it's sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable."
So said a famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn cod liv-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into a Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the " impossible" had been &C.
complished. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritiVe and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by US from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
Of Hypophosphites, Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DR.. Frothingksm so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.
Use it freely and confidently for
Hysteria, Wasting Complaints,
Anemia, Blood Impurities, Asth-
ma, and Throat and Lung Trou-
bles. DR.. w. III. B. Atkins, Ply
stefan to Toronto General Hos
pital, says: stI am much pleased
to state that the results from
using Wampole's Preparation of
Cod Liver Oil have been uni
formly satisfactory; it appealed
to me as being prepared accord
ing to correct scientific princi-
pies" It increases the appetite
and influences the digestion of
food; it is delicious to take, will
not disappoint you, and is effee-
tive from the first dose. One bot
tie convinces. At all chemists.
