minutes afterwards. The executive oihcer
of the ship was passing the door OF Com
mander Warburtcn's cabin, when he was
started by the report of a revolver within.
The bullet, after passing through the

Miser's Body Mummifed.

There has been an astounding sequei
to the many mysteries surrounding the
discovery on February %, 1902, of the
mummi6ed body Of the Paris miser, Mar
cisse Thibaut, in Paris. Thibaut sud
denly vanished in December, 1901.
Two months later the police awoke for
the first time TO the suspicion that there
had been foul play. rbey broke open
his room at 38 Rue des Boulangers, and
found Thibaut's body reclinging against
a chest of drawers. To their astOnish-
ment it showed no signs of decomposl.
ton, and medical examination revealed
the fact that by some strange means 1t
had become as completely mummihed
as those of the Pharaohs. Beyond the
chest ofdrawers Thibaut' room contained
little or no furniture, but a prodigious
quantity of old cigar and confectionery
boxes and number Of books. When
amid these squalid surroundings a will
was found bequeathing a large sum OF
money to "the Friends of Peace Socie-
ty" the bequest was regarded as the
fancy of disordered mind. But certain
odd clues to hidden wealth were found,
and an investigation which has occupied
two wears has led to the discovery OF
f1O.O 600 in French notes between the
uncut pages of Milton's Paradise Lost" "
Other sums in notes we're found in other
hooks or hidden behind the wall paper,
which had been partly stripped off and
skillfully fixed up again; in the backs
of old pictures and in score of other
ingenious hiding places. A sum OF
nearly e6O, 900 has thus been discovered
and will be handed over to the "Friends

when the doctor tells you you are
suffering with Y general debility. !"
We know Of one remedy that
will correct these conditions and re-
store health-Rexall Mucu- Tone.
There is no need of technical
description of how Mucu-Tone on
going into the stomach is quickly
taken up in the digestive process
and, entering the blood, is carried
through the network of tiny cap
illaries and so is brought in direct
contact with the sore membranes.
NEW LIFEi NEW vIGORl
What you-what all of us--are
interested in is getting rid of the
pain we are suffering, in regaining
the strength we have lost, in re-
storing the vigor of youth, in fill
ing our arteries with rich, red
blood and building up our bodies
and in steadying our tagged nerves.
Rexall Mucu-Tone does all OF
this and does it quickly. There is
no long waiting for promised effects
to slowly make their appearance !;
no months Of deferred hope; no
realization that you have again
wasted money that you could III
afford to lose; no final despair.

IT is rather annoying for gentle
man to have his private correspondence
garbled and used as a telegram for
political purposes. That is the posi-
tion of Hon. VIM. M. johnson at pres
emit He wrote a personal letter of
congratulation to G. G. Black, Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, with
whom he is well acquainted. Mr. Black
permitted isolated sentences from this
courteous letter to be published as a
telegram, thus making it appear that
Mr.. Johnson was not loyal to Mr..
Stokes, the Republican candidate.
MIR. Johnson has explained the mat
ter in printed letter. He says he is
not only opposed to the election of Mr..
Black, but is doing all he can to pro-
mote the election of Mr.. Stokes as
governor, for which position he pos
sesses all the qualifications and is far
better fitted than his Democratic OPP

THE proceedings of the Democratic
county convention last Tuesday would
seem to indicate that the leaders OF
the party do not expect to make much
of a fight in this county this fall.
While their candidates were very re-
spectacle individuals they added moth
ing TO the strength Of the ticket and
two Of them have positively declined to
the nominations, and the party is
hunting other candidates. The Repub-
lican candidates, however, are we'll
known aggressive men who stand for
all that is progressive and beneficial
in public affairs and whose personality
will attract votes.

AND THERE YOU ARE.

Mr.. Black and former Governor
Werts, voted for an adjournment OF
the equal taxation commission until
after the elections. This was done,
we presume, to give Mr. Black chance
to carry on his campaign without in
reference.
Mr.. Black could have resigned from
the commission, Of course, and that is
what he should do and permit the
other members to go on with the
work for which they were appointed,
but he has said that be doesn't think
he will get out of that body.
With nothing doing on the part OF
the commission until after November
l5, the date to which that party ad
journed, there is some doubt as to its
ability to fully cover the subject OF
taxation in time to make satisfactory
report to the legislature next winter.
But Mr.. Black s campaign is of more
Importance than this work, to Mr.
Black, and there you are.

Of the assassination of Joseph w. Foil

the "boodlers" OF this city. Kelly has
pointedly confessed that threats Of as
sassination have been made to Folk,
and In view OF this revelation aston
ishment is felt that even at the most
critical periods In his prosecutions the
fighting circuit attorney has protested
against d guard Of detectives. It was
only the insistence of his wife that in
duced him to tolerate bodyguard
when he was in Jefferson City in July
at the state convention. The first re-
suit Of Kelly's disclosure Is the decision
Of Folks friends to insist on guard
for him day and night.
Kelly's confession is one Of the most
surprising documents in all the amaz-
ing papers in the long list of criminal
actions instituted by Mr. Folk
The confession opens with the avow-
al of personal knowledge of the preva-
lence of bribery in the municipal as

STRAIGHT TALK
ABOUT GETTING we'll.

If this was the only medicine
advertisement in this newspaper,
we believe you would quickly try
bottle of our Rexall Mucu-T Tone.
But you have read the extravagant
claims of so many marvellous medi-
cines thatyou have grown skeptical.
Let us reason with you a mo-
ment.
We say to you positively and
without reservation that we have
never before known tonic or
catarrh cure to accomplish the re-
suits worked by Mucu-Tone. 1t
is scientific, meritorious, reliable
remedy. We know how it is COM
pounded, and we unhesitatingly
give it our endorsement mot only
our endorsement, but our guarantee. 2
If you try bottle of Rexall
Mucu-Tone and are not thoroughly
satisfied with it, we will refund
your money promptly, cheerfllly
and without any red tape.
Now, we can't afford to allow
such strong statements to be print
ed in our advertising space unless
ne know ne are right. If we de-
ceived you in this advertisement,
we would lose your confidence and
your trade and we don't spend
money in advertising for the pur-
pose of losing trade.
SOME OF OUR REASONS.
Let US give you some of our
reasons for talking SO earnestly
about Rexall Mucu-Tone.
You know that our bodies are
lined with thin, web-hke skin
called the mucous membrane. It
begins in the nose and mouth and
extends down the throat through
the stomach, intestines and blad-
der. 1t also covers the liver and
kidneys; and in women, the pelvic
organs.
Now this membrane is COM
posed of millions Of tiny cells
filed with fluid called mucous,
which is sort of lubricant for the
various organs. If q few Of these
cells should become choked up
and unable to supply this fluid, It
would cause sickness; if most of
them were so affected it would
cause death.
WHAT IT MEANS no BE "RUN
DOWN.
This is what causes the state OF
Ill health and weakness which ex-
lists when you are run down -

In is rare that so excellent a ticket
is presented to the people Of thiscoun-
ty as that Of the Republicans this fall,
and the remarkable thing about it is
that while in each case nomination
was the guarantee of election every
candidate was nominated by acclama-
tion. Hence there is no jealousy or
heart-burnings and all are working to-
gether for the common cause.
