A constantly increasing number OF
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against social
ed patent medicines and recommend It
to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position IN
medical science. 1t is the only internal

medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit. is the cause Of one
half the diseases which afflict mankind.

and kill herself upon the porch at her
sweetheart's home. She made the trip
to Iowa for that purpose and reached
the porch ut 10 O'Clock at night. Her
aim was unsteady and she fred thru the
front window Of the house, awakening
her lover who supposed that the girl
had come to kill him. The house was
then barricaded.
f Miss Harris shouted that she wanted
her love letters and Springer was then
sure that he would be killed. He sent
his brother out to parley with the girl
but when the brother saw the revolver
he scented murder and came back for
his own gun which he fired thru the
front door. The bullet tore thru Miss
Harris skirts but did not hurt her.
She ran to town and the Springers
called the sheriff by phone.
The following day Springer came into
Jefferson to file charges against Miss
Harris. He was eloseted with his law.

accident marred the games at New York
between the Cleveland New York Amer
lean league teams. Elberfeld, the short
stop of the locals, and Fultz, the center
fielder, collided on the field here this

senseless and fell to the ground as
though dead. Physicians were immedi-
ately summoned from among the spec
tators and Elberfeld had five stitches
put in a bad cut over his right eye and
his nose was broken. Fultz was carried
off the field and taken to his home,
where he still remains in an unconscious
condition and the physicians fear his

MOTHER MURDERS
!. SEVEN CHILDREN
Crazed Woman Then Fires Home
and Accomplishes Her Own
Destruction.
Journal Special Service.

Kewanee, ILL.,, Sept. 30.-The murder
by crazed mother of her seven small
children followed by her own suicide
and the burning of the house in which
the bodies lay, is the awful climax Of
the recent sensational incidents which
have engaged the attention Of people
in this vicinity. Mrs. Clarence Mark
ham cut the threats Of her seven chill
dren this morning. Then, placing the
little bodies in a row on the bed, she
cut her own throat and lay down on the
floor to await destruction by the flames.
\ Shortly before noon neighbors who
saw smoke coming from the farm
house sent out an alarm and, in few
minutes people were on the scene. The
first to arrive saw a woman rush from
the burning house, enveloped in flames
and fall in the yard. She died later,
after confessing her deed. The woman
is said to have called the children into
the room one at time so that none
of them took alarm. Mrs. Markham has
been in "a weak mental condition for
some time and the father had kept the
two older children home from school in
order that they might look after her.
She had little to do with the neighbors
and not much is known Of her pc
chliarities.

State Auditor s. G. Iverson yesterday after
noon sent letters to the various county auditors
turnout the state, certifying to the tax levy
for the ensuing year. 1t Is in total 1.S-1O mills
1t is made up of the soldiers relief fund levy
Of one.tenth Of one mill, the funding tax levy
OF two-tenths Of one MILL and the state revenue
fund levy of one and half mills. 1t differs
from the levy of the previous year In two
points. The levy for the revenue fund is one
half Of one mill more. an increase Of 90 per
cent, and the three -tenths Of one mill tax for
the agricultural college. which existed the two
previous years and brought IN $125,000 a year
for the school, Is abolished. s.ss
The increase in the general revenue fund Is
because, of the lavish appropriations made by
the last Legislature. The previous year. when
the general revenue levy was but one mill. there
was but 100000 to be raised. Mr.. Iverson
says that the general revenue levy the ensuing
year will have to raise $1,000, 900. IA
