meet Shot In Order to Collect
His Life insurance.

Parkersburg, w. va.-On May 3 at
midnight masked men entered the
home Of Henry Blackshire at Brook.
Vile, Calhoun county, and shot him
dead in the presence of his wife and
son. Mrs. Blackshire is now in the
Calhoun county Jail. Her neighbor,
Robert McCloskey, is in the same
prison and Louis Hendricks is in the
Parkersburg jail, all charged with
completely in the murder.
The arrest of Mrs Blackshire on
Wednesday was brought about by tho
statement of Hendricks. He said he
was at McCloskey's home several days
before the murder and heard Mrs.
Blackshire offer McCloskey money to
kill her husband, and said that If he
refused to do SO she would get some
one else to do so. He says he told
Mrs. Blackshire after the murder
what he heard, and she offered to give
him 500 as soon as she collected her
husbands insurance if he would leave
town. He and McCloskey left together
the, day following the murder and re-
manned near Parkersburg till Nc
Closkey returned to Brookville on
Sunday to get his pay, and while there
he was placed in Jail. During their
absence Mrs. Blackshire attempted to
collect the insurance, amounting to
$1,000. $
Public sentiment was SO outraged
over the reports of her completely that
she was threatened with lynching,
but no attempt was made to wreak
vengeance on her. McCloskey admits
being at the house at the time of the
murder and also says Mrs. Blackshire
wanted her husband out of the way,
but he charges Hendricks with the
murder

celestiaIs Threaten to Boycott All
American Products.
WAshington.-All hope of the sue
cess of the pending negotiations of
the new Chinese exclusion treaty has
for the present beeen abandoned by
the Chinese officials as a result of the
wave of resentment that has swept
over China since it became known
that it was planned to transfer the me-
gotiations to Peking and that the de-
partment OF commerce and labor
was insisting upon its own interpre-
tation of the exclusion law. Reports
have reached the Chinese legation of
the extent of this feeling throughout
the Chinese empire and of the hostil.
ity OF the Chinese commercial guilds
to American goods which might re-
suit, it is asserted, in a general boy
colt against American products, even
were it possible to conclude the ex-
clusion treaty now. .....
The Chinese legation here declares
that there is no intention of bringing
suit in the supreme court of the Unit
ed States in behalf of the Chinese ex-
cluded or deported, in view of the
treaty of 1888 All such infringements
of that treaty, the legation holds to
be dimplomatic matters entirely and
an appeal will be had, not to the
courts, but the state department.

WE CAN MAKE THEM HERE,
Secretary Taft Will Buy no More For
eign Made Ships.


Misunderstanding Taft has
decided not to buy any foreign-built
ships at present nor to purchase
abroad any material for the Panama
construction beyond needs for imme-
diate use. This decision does not
mean that the president and Secretary
Taft have in any degree changed the
policy recently announced to govern
purchases for the canal work, it be-
ing explained that they do not intend
to take advantage of the present sit
uation by stocking up heavily in ma.
terial and ships in anticipation Of re-
strictive legislation by congress at its
next session.
1t is said on the authority Of the
president that Secretary Taft would
gladly receive any instructions from
congress and execute them in the
spirit in which the legislation is cC.l-
ceived. But as the law stands the
material must be bought in the cheap
est market, in view of the president,

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas TOR the
Decoration Of Homes.

The STYLES of home decorations have
completely changed in the last Few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the Detter.
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth
DDS for interior decoration, better eI'
fects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
of paint, or of kalsomine, or OF Ala
bastine-whatever the material USED
to cover the wall-the thing desired Is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as we'll as permanency and
beauty of color. Alabastine, a wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means hard white rocks
the ideal covering for wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathe.
drals and churches, have perE,a-
nency and an art of which wall paper
is but cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach Of the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent in its
coloring. It does not rub of, and it
has the soft effect Of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re-
decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
Of the discomfort Of it. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that is
needed Is to lay a sheet or canvas on
the floor. have your man come In with
a pail, make the solution and simply
brush it on the wall. That Is all there
is to 1t, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat.
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
"The doctor diagnosed my trouble
as nervous affection Of the stom-
ach.' was actually so nervous that
l could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible. I doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
"My physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and l tried many kinds Of
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me. was almost discouraged,
and when tried Grape-Nuts did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every.
thing else had failed.
"But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad am that l tried 1t.
I feel like a new person, have gain
ed in weight and l don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. I feel SO strong
again that I am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me so, l never notice now, and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"

Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind Of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape-Nuts
food which Is more than half digested
in the process Of manufacture and Is
rich in the phosphate Of potash con
tanned in the natural grain, which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filling in the thou
sands of delicate nerve centres in tn,
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is ,
sure road back to health in all sucl
cases.

The story that sailors from the crews

story that large number of mercen-
aries were shipped at Madagascar.
