HE KILLS WIFE AND SON.
An Austrian Miner Commits Crime
While in q Drunken Frenzy.

Pittsburg, Kan, March 9.-Lewis
Wordenick. an Austrian miner at the
Grove Coal company mine No. IL, six
miles southwest of this city, while in a
drunken frenzy, murdered his wife and
10-year-old son between 10 and IL o'clock
Monday night. He had been on
drunken spree for about a week and for
three days had eaten nothing, but con-
tinued to drink.
He went home and told his wife that
he was hungry and asked her to get
him something to eat. She refused be-
cause he had made the same request
before during his spree, and when she
set his meal on the table he gathered it
up and threw it out the door. Her re-
fusal this time frenzied Wordenick and
he grabbed a large butcher knife from
the table and plunged it into the right
side of his wife's neck, Just above the
collar bone. Then he slashed his son
across the abdomen because he inter-
fered- The boy sank to the floor and eX-
pired in few moments.
The neighbors were aroused by the
three other children, who ran out of the
house when their father was engaged in
his murderOuS work. When a number
of men appeared upon the scene, Wor-
denick was calmly surveying his work
with a smile of satisfaction tele-
phone message was sent to Chicopee,
about three miles away, for officers.
Two of them answered the message and
brought the murderer to this city and
locked him Up. His wife lived about
four hours.
Wordenick has been in this country
less than a year, and seldom drinks. but
when he does indulge it is. always for a
week or two at time. He is 80 years
of age and talks the Austrian, German,
French and Italian languages fiuently,
but cannot speak word of English.

A WONDERFUL REMEDY.
Nearly 100000 People Cured of In
| temperance by Orrine.

For ages the curse of intemperance has
afflicted mankind, claiming its millions of
victims every year and causing more un-
timely deaths than all the wars of his
tory.
object of contempt, spurned and loathed
by all, because it was the commonly ac-
cepted theory that to cure his drinking
habit was a matter of exercise of will
power alone.
Physicians. however. have long since
disease, requiring physical treatment. The
diseased condition of the nerves of the
stomach and the infiamed stomach lin
over-indulgence in alcoholic stimulants,
in the vast majority of cases require
medical treatment to effect a cure.
To permanently remove the craving for
liquor by restoring the stomach and di-
gestive organs to their normal conditions,
a wonderful preparation called Orrine has
been placed upon the market, and is now
sold all over the United States, recon-
mended and Endorsed by the leading drug
gists, and by thousands of physicians,
nearly one hundred thousand cured inc
briates and many members of the w. c.
clergymen, temperance lecturers, etc.
Orrine is sold in Topeka by Swift &
Holiday, druggists.
In every package there is a registered
guarantee to return the money if OrrIne
fails to do all that is claimed for it. The
remedy is simple, harmless and sure, con-
tainS OpiateS or narcotics of any kind
or description, will cure the drink habit
without leaving any bad effects and can
be given secretly without the patients
knowledge, if desired. The remedy can be
taken at home, thereby rendering SAM
tarium treatment unnecessary.
If Orrine will do for those addicted to
the drink habit what nearly one hundred
thousand people all over the United States
say it has done for them, surely it is
worth many times its price and is very
wonderful remedy indeed. The medical
principles upon which Orrine is founded
would warrant its use a stomach tonic,
and as the money will be refunded If it
fails n IT'S nurnOSP. SurelX those who
have need for 5ucl1 a. remedy run no
risk whatever in giving it a fair trial.
