SHOOTS HERSELF
Muriel

one of the most beautiful women in

cleaning preparatory to hunting trip
in California. Miss Byram was Sis
ter-in-law of l. N. Perry, former presi-
dent of the Bank of North America,

WITH POISON

Mason, Mich, Jan. 5.-Mrs. Carrie
Joslyn, wife of William Joslyn, who
died Christmas at his home in Wheat
field township under circumstances
considered suspicious, was brought ito
Jail here yesterday charged with MUIR
dering her husband, and, according to
the officers, confessed that she pois-
soned him with arsenic. Mrs. Joslyn
in her confession, the officers say,
stated that she was in love with the
hired man, Isaac Swan, and that they
conspired ito put Joslyn out OF the way
so that they might marry. Mrs. JOS
Ign says Swan purchased the. arsenic
and she administered it to her hus
band. The first dose she gave him
was small one in his coffee: She
continued the poison doses4 at fire.,
quent intervals, giving them to Joslyn
in lemonade after he became so sick
that he was unable to leave his bed.
1t took two weeks to kill her husband,
the woman said. Mrs. Joslyn was
accompanied to Jail by her two chill
dren, aged and 5. The officers are

NO Peace Move in Sight.
Berlin. Jan. 5.-The highest diplo>
matte opinion here is that the surren>
der of Port Arthur makes it 1mpossl,
BILE for any government friendly TO
Russia to advise peace or to unite
with any other government in an oHer
of international mediation. Feeling at
the Russian court, it is asserted here,
is so absolutely for continuing the war
that probably not one person who mas
access to the emperor OF Russia couio
be found who even privately favors
Russia accepting defeat. German mill
tary opinion, while acknowledging the
large moral effect of the fall OF Port
Arthur, in inspiriting the Japanese
and depressing the Russians, regards
it as only an incident and as having
little relation to the immense t1el0
operations that will begin in the
spring. General Kuropatkin, it is as
serted in official circles here, has 6OO,,
900 troops east OF Baikal, OF which
more than 100000 are already gath
cred at Mukden. 1t is impossible,
German military men aver, for the
Russians to cease fighting with that
army in being, which by spring they
add, is likely to number 100000. The
Japanese, being fully informed of Rus
sias preparations, are putting forth
every resource to surpass them. Field
operations of a magnitude not before
seen in the war it is believed will be.
gin in few weeks.

"In the lead mines / was at work on my
knees with my elbows pressed against
rock walls, in dampness and extremes OF
cold" said Mr.. j. O.. Meukel, of 1915

scribing his experience to a reporter,
"and it is not surprising that l con-
tracted rheumatism. For three years l
had attacks affecting the joints OF my
ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles
and knees became so swollen l could
scarcely walk on uneven ground and q
little pressure from a stone under my
feet would cause me so much pain that l
would nearly sink down. l was often
obliged to lie in bed for several days at a
time. My friends who were similarly
troubled were getting no relief from
doctors and I did not feel encouraged to
throw money away for nothing. BY
chance l read the story OF Robert Yates,
of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., OF
Dubuque, who had n very bad case of
rheumatism. / decided to try DR.. Will

weeks after beginning to use the pills, l

OlD-TlME ELECTlONEERING.


The candidates trick of kissing the
babies to gain votes is not a new
thing. The determined candidate of
the eighteenth century was as deeply
interested in all members Of a voters
family IS he is to-day. In William
Cowper's Letters" may be found a
description of the way things were
done more than a hundred years ago.
We were sitting yesterday at dinner,
the two ladies and myself, very COM
posedly and without the least appre-
hension of any such intrusion in our
snug parlor, n lady knitting, another
netting, and the gentleman winding
worsted. Suddenly, to IL unspeakable
surprise, a mob appeared before the
window. A mart tap was heard at
the door, the boys halloed, and the
maid announced Mr.. Grenvllle. Candi-
dates are creatures not very Suscepti-
BILE a~ffront, and would rather, l sup
pose, climb in at the window than be
absolutely excluded.
In a minute the yard. the kitchen
and the parlor were filled. Mr.. Gren-
vile. advancing toward me, shook me
by the hand with a degree of cordial
ity that was extremely %seducing.
AS soon as he and as many more as
could find chairs were seated. he be-
gan to open the intent of his visit. l
told him l had no vote, for which he
readily gave me credit. / assured him
1 had no influence, which he was not
equally inclined to believe.
Thus ended the conference. Mr..
Grenville squeezed my hand again,
kissed likewise the maid in the kitch.

most loving, kissing, kind-hearted gen.

HOW to veneer Fashionable.

'There will be snow soon," said a

tabs, fur gloves up to your armpits, fur
collars up to your forehead-there are
half a dozen pawnbrokers in this town
thatll fit you out with all those things
for an afternoon, and the price is only
n bone. You put them on, and as you
spin along the park drive you say to
your girl: Il got these gloves in Mani

Of Dog Gulch. l speared myself the
seal my cap is made from, and Senator
Pitcoe gave me the collar-Pitcoe, Of

she's up against. After that she's
yours. "-Philadelphia Record.

IMPORTANT FACTS
FOR cow OWNERS

The mechanical Cream Separator has
become a vital feature of every home
dairy just as of every butter factory.
Its use means much more and much
better cream and butter, as well as
saving of water, ice, time and room.
The difference in results is not small
but big. Few cows now pay without a
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind of farming with one.

1T means that no child shall be deprived
of its birthright in free America of good
English education, and that there must be
laws making it compulsory upon parents
and guardians to send every child to school
until it has received that much from the
state.
1T means that the state has no right to
brand as a criminal a child who is too
young to be held in law to the liabilities OF
a civil contract, and that therefore there
must be Juvenile courts and probation offi-
GERS to deal with minors who have gone
astray, and bring them back to their nor
NAL condition and make good citizens OF
them.
ut means that the law must recognize
that mothers as we'll fathers are the
natural guardians of their children. and
that she Is not to be deprived OF her
duties and responsibilities unless she proves
herself unworthy of the sacred charge.
at means that where the mother is OF
necessity the wage Garner, her earnings
shall be hers, absolutely free of the debts
and control of her husband.
ut means that there should be uniform
law of marriage and divorce in all the
states, so that we shall not have the
anomaly of a ceremony null and void in
one state and valid in another, with all
the consequent shame and misery to the
guilty and innocent alike.
1T means that hasty marriages should
be impossible, for marriage Is a state as
well as q contract SO tudI the Stdte ldS d
