SCHOOL BOY MURDERER.
Ruth Campbell Dies Of Old Wound in
Kansas City.

Kansas City, March 24.-Ruth
Campbell, aged 16 years, the daughter
of a Kansas City attorney, is dead
here as the result of a bullet wound
received in August last, when Walter
Ralston, her school boy sweetheart at
Charlton, Ia, is alleged to have shot
her as the result of jealousy. At the
time the girl apparently recovered,
and the case against Ralston was
dropped.
Charlton, March 24.-News of the
death of Miss Campbell was received
with much surprise here, as it was
thought that she had completely re.
covered from the wound in the breast
inflicted by the bullet from young
Ralston's revolver. The shooting ere.
ated great sensation at the time.
Ralston was arrested, and was in Jail
for two or three days, when he was
released on bond. Later on, when the
girl had apparently recovered from
her wound, the charges were dropped.
So far as is known none are now
standing against Ralston.
Ralston is the son of a well-known
conductor,now running between Chart.
ton and st. Joseph, on the c., B. & ].
He is still in this city.
At the time of the shooting the
Campbell family lived in Charlton,
but they have since moved to Kansas
City.

IDOeS Your Doctor Know

What's the matter with you? If he does,
the chances are he may help you, but
many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here
and there, and in this way they all pre-
sent alike to themselves and their easy
going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor,
separate and distinct diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribcs
his pills and potions. In reality they are
all only symptoms caused by some womb
disease, The physician, ignorant of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
ferng patient gets no better, but proba-
bly, worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pterce's Fa-
vorte Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and institutlng comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
we'll said that "a disease known is half
cured" In cases almost iAnumerable,
utter all other medicines had failed to
help and doctors had said there was no
cure possible, the use of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
7orite Prescription, supplemented when
necessary by the medical advice and
counsel Of DR.. Pierce, has resulted in a
perfect and permanent cure. The genu-
ineness of these cures is attested not only
by the entir.: disappearance of pain, but
by q gain of flesh, a clear complexion
and q cheerful disposition.

EXTEND USE OF
MILEAGE BOOKS
Legislation Proposed Making
Each Good for
Family.
PART OF THE PROGRAMME
Anti Pass, Primary and Mileage Book
Laws Urged - These Are Three
Most Important Measures Of Pro-
xress for Consideration.

Des Moines, March 24.-It is be-
lieved to be quite definitely settled,
says the Register and Leader, that
the progressive programme IN the
legislature of the coming year will
include at least three reforms Of the
greatest possible Importance.
These will be:
First, the adoption Of a state wide
primary law, including provision TO
enable the people to nominate United
States senators.
Second, the abolition of railroad
passes of every kind, except those
issued to bona fide employees OF rail-
roads.
Third, law to compel the railroads
to sell mileage books good until used
and for the indiscriminate use OF all
members of each of the families whose
heads purchase them.
Of course many other important
propositions are under consideration
and probably several others will find
places on the programme. But 1t is
certain, practically, that the thre1
which have been mentioned will be
pressed to statutory expression, If
that outcome is within the realm OF
possibility.
1t is barely possible that the propo-
sition for the regulation of the sale OF
mileage boks may assume another
form, and that reduction in freight
rate may supersede the plan to en-
large the utility of the passenger
mileage book. OF course the sugges-
lions bear close relation, but 1t is
apparent at once that whereas the en-
largement of the scope of usefulness
of the mileage book as proposed
would inevitably result in materially
increased income to the railroads, re-
duction of freigh rates might result in
decrease in revenue, depending on it's
effect on the quality of shipments.
Recently indications have arrived
at the surface that influences which
were counted against the primary law
will stand for it, at least nomlnally,
and in many quarters among the
friends Of that legislation there is de.
cided encouragement based on other
and more tangible reasons.
And at no time since the adjourn.
ment of the legislature of last winter
has there been serious doubt that the
session Of 1906, whether of the same
assembly as that of 1904 or of new
ly elected one, would enact an anti
pass bill in more drastic form than
that which has gone before the legis.
