unusual feature of this marriage
is the fact that this is the second

THREE JURORS CURED
OF Cholera Morbus with One Small

Mr.. G. w. Fowler of Hightower,

while serving on u petit jury in a
murder case at Edwardsvill, county

He says: "While there | ate some
fresh meat and some souse meat and
it gave me cholera morbus in very
severe form. ! was never more sick
in my life, sent to the drug store for a
certain cholera mixture, but the drug
gist sent me u bottle of Chamberlain S

| sent for, but that this medicine was
so much better he would rather send
it to me in the fix | was in. | took
one dose of it and was better in five

Just so with paint. Devoe

Nobody wants the neck; the be-

for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more,
than between. Lead-and-oil is
between; it is the old-fashion

Zinc toughens white lead. Devoe

TERRIBLE deed Z
OF AN insane MAN
WILLIAM STEPHENS, OF ROSS
VALLEY, CAL, MURDERS
HIS WIFE.
Shoots His Five Children-Three
Killed Instantly and the Others Die
of Their Wounds-Maniac Then
Takes His Own Life.

San Francisco, May 25.-William
Stephens, who lived at Ross Valley,
Marin county, Wednesday murdered his
wife, his five children, attempted to mur-
der a passing milkman, and then ended
his own life. Stephens, who was IS
years old, was formerly book agent, but
latterly was said to be connected with a
rubber goods house of San Francisco
The family also conducted a chicken
ranch at their home in Ross Valley.
Early Wednesday Stephens emerged
from his home, revolver in hand, and
fired upon a passing milkman. The
milkman whipped up his horses, and
Stephens pursued him for 200 yards fir
ing as he ran. Stephens then halted in
the roadway, placed the revolver to his
breast and discharged the weapon. The
bullet did not end his life and be sent
a second fatal bullet through his brain.
When neighbOrs and officers entered
the home of Stephens, they came upon a
shocking scene. The members of the
family. each with a revolver wound in
the head, were found in their beds. The
wife and three of the children were dead,
and the other two died later The chill
dren were from one to eleven years of
age. There is no known reason for the
tragedy, but the theory is advanced that
Stephens became suddenly insane.

BARON ROTHSCHILD DEAD.
Head of Famous Banking Firm
Passes Away in Paris,
France.

Paris, May 27.-Baron Alphonse
Rothschild, head of the Paris branch
of the richest family in the world, died
Friday. The news spread rapidly
through the financial centers of the
world. He was the real leader of the
cousins whose wealth is estimated to
be far more than $2,0OO,OOO,OOO, and
whose loans to governments in the last
ten years have exceeded 100000 900.
An illness Of but few days duration
caused his death.
Baron Alphonse was the leading
spirit of the Rothschilds in their re-
lations with practically all the govern
ments of Europe. Besides the colossal
task Of financing the indemnity which
France paid to Germany after the
Franco-German war of 1901 he ac-
lively carried on relations with other
governments. In Italy these included
both the government and the vatican
finances. The house also has large in
terests in Spain. largely controls Aus
trias railroad development and held
considerable parts of all the old Rus
sian loan issues. The house has also
had considerable dealings with Ameri-
can securities through the Belmonts, J.
Pierpont Morgan and John w. Gates,
including Louisville and Nashville and
the Atlantic Coast Line transactions,
and also has extensive interests in
mines in California.
