S. A. Foote, of Parkers-
burg, Takes Life While
Temporarily Insane
WIDELY KNOWN FOR CHARITY
Mrs. Foote Had Endeared Herself to
Large Circle of Friends to Whom the
News of Her Suicide Was Great
Shock - Used Sash Cord With
Which to Hang Herself.
Special to Times-Republican.

Parkersburg, Oct. 8. = Mrs. S. A.
Foete committed suicide at her home
here Sunday afternoon. Nothing In
the history of the town has ever so
shocked or panied it's people. Mrs.
Foote, by a most exemplary Christian
life, and untold acts of kindness ana
charity, had endeared herself to a vast
circle of friends, and her death has
cast a gloom into every home in Par
kersburg.
She was found hanging by a sash
cord fastened to hook in the ceiling.
An inquest was Immediately held, w.
H. Owen, justice of the peace, acting
as coroner, and w. M. Conn, j. G.
Clark and +. F. Voeltz as jurors. The
anquest developed the facts that Mrs.
Foote had gone upstairs about eleven
o'clock and stated to her youngest son,
Sheldon, that she had a headache ana
felt dizzy. She occasionally had sucn
spells and the boy thought nothing OF
1T. At about one o'clock the father
sent Sheldon upstairs to call his motn-
er and the boys screams brought the
father and another son to the sao
scene. DR.. r. A. Hobson testified thar
some time ago he had treated her for
re-current melancholia. The finding
of the jury was that she had taken
her life while temporarily insane. The
husband Is Frustrated, and no words
can describe the feelings of the grier
stricken family.

when the town was filled with farm

busy with the rush of trade, every
one was startled by the sudden re-
port that Lacey Goodier had been sho.
and killed. The report was soon YER
flied, and the town was all excitement.

old, and a good and Industrious boy.

town with load of goods He HAD
reached a point near the grain eleva-
tor owned by j. e. knudson, when
a bullet struck him in the right arm
and passing thru that and his body,
penetrated both lungs, and lodged In
the left side. He sprang from the
wagon and rushed into a house near
by but Immediately ran out into the
yard, fell down and expired. There
was foot ball game In progress with
in a few rods of there and a largo
crowd soon gathered, but the unfortu-
nate boy was dead before physician
could be called. The only witness was
a little boy, Abe Hopkins, about five
or six years old, who was in the wag-
on with Lacey when he received the

Sheriff Jones Immediately took the
boy into his care and commenced an
investigation to locate the guilty par

veloped that several young men, who
are all we'll and favorably known. were
shooting at targets with a small rife
at the w. j. Bruce & Co. lumber yard,
one block north of where Lacey was
when he received the shot. While the
verdict of the jury has not been re-
turned it now looks as if stray bur

done the awful work.
The parents of the dead boy, Mr..

an acute attack of chorea, popularity
known as st. Vitus' dance, little Rosa
Ferber, aged 9 years Of Ponca, Nep.,
was yesterday afternoon brought to
the st. Josephs hospital, this city. The
unfortunate affection with which the
little girl is now suffering is attribu-
ted by her mother to a reprimand by
her teacher in the Ponca schools
The coincidence Of this reprimand
and the attack of the disease the little
girls mother considers significant, but
the school authorities of Ponca deny
that the punishment. If such it may be
called, administered to he the girl wao

Professor Wilson. principal of the
Ponca schools, stated today over the
long distance telephone that shortly
before the attack of the disease Miss
Douthitt, third grade teacher, had
shaken the little Ferber girl because
of some little offense. 1t was not in
sure no ordinary child could have
been injured at all by it.

However, physicians state that
very slight shock or fright may bring
on this disease. 1t was said by q
competent physician here in answer to
a hypothetical question: that the ner-
vous system of the child might have
been in so precarious condition that
a very slight fright might have been
attended with consequences not at ali
commensurate.

Few People Know How Useful 1t is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is q remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it Whitens the
teeth and further acts as O. natural
and eminently safe cathartf
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money is
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they
are composed OF the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
anticeptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large. pleasant tasting loz-
enges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of 1t Is that no posi-
BILE harm can result from their contin-
ued use. but on the contrary great
benefit.

j Ames, Oct. assault and battery
was the charge made against Charles
Hester, an employee of C. E. McHose,
proprietor of the tile and brick fac
tory near Maxwell. The warrant was
sworn out by c. E. McHose, in Justice
Denny's court and after hearing he
was sentenced to ten days in Jail. The
trouble grew out of the manner In
which Kester was doing some work.
It is claimed that McHose made a
sighting remark to kester and the
young man did not think it was right to
be Inundated before the rest of the
Workmen and demanded that his en-
ployer apologize to the rest of the gang,
This McHose naturally refused to do,
and was therefore subjected to undig-
nified proceedings from the hands Of
Hester. A fierce fight ensued in which
the employer received severe bruises
and two badly swollen eyes. Kester
has intimated that when released from
Jail he will bring proceedings against
McHose for the same offense. McHose
