with handsome sum OF money and
advised 10 leave that part OF Europe.
She neglected TO do so It is said
that she managed TO get a letter into
the princes hands only a few DAYS
before her dead body was found In a
lonely place under conditions which
showed plainly that a murder had
been committed
The Princes infatGation had be-

orally known, that Peter was boldly
accused by many of his subjects of
having compassed the girls death.
While the Servians have a tradi-

and Queens summarilv dealt with,
they object to the rule working both
ways.

He was sent 10 prison for grossly

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
gesting what you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet your
self when taking Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. 5. D. Erskine, of Allenville,
Mich, says, 81 suffered with Heart
burn and Stomach trouble for some
time. My sister-in-law has had the
same trouble and was not able to eat

What would the west be without the
real estate dealer?" and more especi-
ally the abstracter, for is it not in a
large measure through their efforts
that this vast productive country has
been pcopled, and the lands which
were looked upon as no better than a
desert, and few years ago was shown
upon the map as the unexplored re-
gions now blossom as the rose?
In this connection we would refer
more especially to the abstract work
as conducted by Walter G. Frazer,
bonded abstracter for Beaver county
and who conducts the Beaver County
Abstract Office. Some three years ago
Mr.. Frazer came to Beaver and opened
up an abstract office. During the en-
tire time intervening he has worked
unremittingly in compiling complete
set of abstract books and now has them
complete and is prepared to take care
Of any work that may come to him, in
an accurate and prompt manner. He
is not only an abstracter OF the first
class, but an honest, responsible and
trustworthy gentleman and his work is
in demand from all parts of the county
The first duty of purchaser of real
estate, is to secure from n responsible
source an abstract OF title, such as will
merit confidence in its accuracy and
fullness of detail. Mr.. Frazer has had
years of experience in abstracting and
is capable of making the kind Of ab-
stracts that will stand the test of the
courts. Any purchaser who has work
done at the Beaver County Abstract
Office can be assured that his money is
safely invested so far as the title is
concerned.

Y III GckleS.

Long before man invented letters by
which he could better record for pos
terity what he has learned, he made
pictures, as the easiest way for him to
impart his knowledge to others. And
even after the event of letters their
crudity was about on par with that
of their former pictures. But as the
centuries rolled by, the genius OF man
wrought great changes in the chirog-
raphy of the world. Yet no more rap
id has this been than the art OF making
fine pictures, and chief among the lat
ter is the improved processes of the
photographer.
For a number OF years Beaver has
not had resident photographer and
it has been one of the crying needs OF
the people. Just at the present time
however we are fortunate enough to
have in our city, j. NJ. Eckles, a pho
tographer of no mean ability and one
who is capable of turning out good
work
Mr.. Ecklcs il located at Minnelo in
this county and will make that place
his home He has a special photo car
in which he travels and expects to
make this point regularly if business
justities it. Those who have had work
done at his studio are loud in their
praise of his work and nothing but sat
isfaction is expressed.
