Put it on core and in few bours
8 the Inflammation is gone. Put it on

The Seder Case.

The mother of Myrtle Seder, a
seventeen months child, died about a
ye ar ago near ClaRin. J. R. Jordan
and wife the parents of Mrs. Seder
took are of the child. By writ of
habeas corpus Seder got possession
of the little one and gave it to his
parents to keep. Since then the
elder Seder has died and his wife is
not capable to care for the baby. The
latter was adopted by the nuns of the
Third Order of st. Dominic. Seder
having left the country, the Jordans
again made an effort to get the
much desired baby and the Mother
Superior in order to avoid litigation
and having it's welfare at heart, re-
linquished possession, and it was
regularly adopted by its grand
parents yesterday.

NO TRACE OF HIM.
Fred Hessert is Still Numbered With the
Missing.

Marshal F. D. Wilson returned
Monday morning from a still hunt in
Colorado in an effort to locate the
missing mine expert who disappeared
some two or three weeks ago. His
efforts proved of no avail as no trace
of Hessert could be obtained. The
conductors on both divisions knew
nothing. Hessert travelled on a
through ticket, which would not be
taken up until he boarded the train
from Pueblo to Canon City. The
ticket has never been received at the
general Offices. Mr.. Wilson inter
viewed the police of Pueblo and as
certained that no hold-up, murder or
slugging had occurred in that city
since the time Of tie disappearance
1t is the opinion of Pueblo officers and
Marshal Wilson that Hessert is still
alive and will turn up in time. Both
authorities state that 1t is absurd ac-
cording to the evidecne which is
shown, to believe him a victim of
murder.

Mrs. Aber Is Dead.

A telegram received this morning
fromGrand Canon, Arizona conveyed
the news of Mrs. L. P. AbeT's death
of pneumonia at that place at seven
O'Clock last evening. She had been
sick little over a week. With her
husband she had started about two
weeks ago for a pleasure trip in
California, but death interviewed and
Joy was turned to sorrow.
Mrs. Aber's maiden name was
Katie Van Pelt and she was born in
Illinois about forty six years ago.
She came with her parents to this
county in 1875 or 1876. She was
married soon after to ]. J. McClimans
who died while holding the Office of
district clerk of this county June IA,
1880. On January 90, 1882, she be-
came the wife of.L. P. Aber. By her
first marriage, Mrs. Aber has one son,
Wilmut McClimans, living, who was
at her side at the death bed. Two
children survive her by her second
marriage, while several died in early
youth. The deceased also has a
brother in New York and a sister in
Colorado.
The funeral and burial services
will be held in Bakersfield, Calf.
where her first born lives. It is said
that this is at her last request. Mrs.
Aber was one of the most lovable
women who ever graced this earth.
She lived a sweet, pure life, was
open and above board in all her
acts, and the hearts of all who knew
her, are wrung with grief and
anguish. She was a member of the
Congregational church, and was
active in charitable undertakings.
The entire community mourns with
the bereaved husband and relatives.
