Marshalltown, Iowa, June 20.-Startling devel-
opments have come to light In the case OF Mrs.
Lillian May Cover who committed suicide few
weeks ago in this city. --sr - 49,.
A few weeks before she killed herself Mrs.
Covers husband w. I. Cover, died. He left
some property and by the report of the admins
traitor filed in court today it is shown that Mrs.
Cover was not his legal wife. It has been
found that she married three times before,
that all her husbands except Cover are living
and that she had not secured divorce from
any Of them. :
She was MAJ ried to Cover here in 1900. Her
other husbands August Barghote to
whom she was married Lille Ramsdell in
Tama county, Jan. 10, 1894. Two years later
she was married to Charles r. Dayton at, Mary
vile, Kan. The third marriage was at Webster
City, Iowa, Aug. 10, 1898, to Frank J. Bartlett
| At the time she committed suicide in spite of
the fact that her husband had only been dead a
few weeks, she living with another man
| named Hedstron, but it is not known that they
had been married. Cover left an estate of
| 81, 900, and it is supposed Mrs. Cover feared
the publicity which settlement of the estate
| would bring about She was the daughter OF
| wealthy parents in Tama county.

How She Got Rid Of Serious Troubles
by Simple Home Treatment.

by Simple Home Treatment.
"I had been bothered for several
years." said Mrs. Murphy, "by stomach
disorder, and finally became very weak
and nervous. Flashes of heat would
pass over me, and I would feel as If
was sinking down. At such times I
could not do any household work, but
would have to lie down, and afterwards
Iwould have very trying nervous spells"
Didn't you have doctor p she was
asked.
Eyes, consulted several doctors but
my health did not improves One day
friend asked me why did not try DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She assured mo
that they had proved Of the greatest ben
eft in the case Of her daughter. In fact,
she praised them so enthusiastically that
my husband got me a box"
"And what was the resuhs'
"Before had taken half Of the first
box my condition was greatly improved.
The quickness with which they reached
and relieved all my troubles was really
surprising. After had used only three
boxes I had no more heat-hashes or
weak spells. Thanks to them, I have
become we'll woman"
Mrs. Mary b. Murphy lives at No,

which she found so satisfactory, furnish

Pensacola merchants who did not

conducted their business on the mar
row policy, prevalent in many places,
that everybody knew they were in

when hustlers in Jacksonville, Allan

The Pensacola Journal, some using
page of space to tell Of the bargains

They saw that Pensacola dealers
were neglecting opportunities to in

chance to tell the people of Pensacola

The report of State Treasurer Will
liam V. Knott, should certainly be
most gratifying to all Floridans, it
shows Florida's finances to be in a
splendid condition and is a magnifi-
cent testimony to the honest and eX-
cellent management of the affairs Of
the State. The report shows a bal
ance in the State Treasury of over
a half million dollars at the close Of
1904, and a balance of almost a third
of a million in the general fund treas
ury, to be accurate, $293,054,5S, and
this large balance is on hand through
no neglect of a single department nf
the State government. At the close
OF 1903 there was a balance in the
general fund OF. $269,06S.5S, showing
an increase this year of nearly twenty
five thousand dollars.
During the present year the general
State tax, that is the tax for general
revenue purposes has been reduced to
y of l mill. 1t was asserted at the
time this reduction was made that it
would come a deficiency at the close
or 1905. As matter of fact the re-
duction of the general revenue State
tax would, in the event there were no
additional property to come on the
tax books, and increases in the
amounts received from other sources,
De only $4,000 in round numbers, and
the balance on hand would easily stand
such reduction. The reduction
should have been made, because it is
not good policy TO keep large cash
surplus in the State Treasury. The
money only lays there idle when it
should td be left in the pockets of the

annually $1S,047 interest on its State

one-slxth OF one mill is required of the
tax payers. An insignificant amount,
certainly.

as FLORIDA made on January 1st. We
