Seriously Ill.

Last fall, five months since Miss
Bessie Pogue, Of West Commerce
street. with Miss Marion B. Kinne
went to Dallas, Texas, where since
she has been engaged in assisting
Miss Kline in teaching violin. Miss
Pogue has long been a very delicate
young woman, and it was thought
that the trip and sojourn in the Lone
Star State would help her. During
the winter she has been getting along
very nicely, but few days since she
failed rapidly and Mrs. Pogue, her
mother, was notified that at the
soonest possible moment Miss Bessie
should be started for home. Tele-
grams received Sunday were i'm
perative that Miss Pogue should start
at once if she was to live to see her
home.
Immediate arrangements were made
by wire for Dallas parties to leave
with the young lady, bringing her
East as far as st. Louis. Sunday night
Chester Pogue. brother, left Phila-
delphia and will meet his sister in st.
Louis and hurry her home as rapidly
as her condition will permit.

Execution Was Prompt
Death Was Instant.
Great Crowds of People Surround
the Court House Property
Gazing With Curiosity at
the High Board Enclos-
ure Within Which was
Enacted the Last
Act Of Tragedy.

q Wednesday Frank Rasinger, self
confessed and legally condemned muir
derer. paid the extreme penalty for his
$crime. and the case is now forever
ended. Justice has had its way-un-
&erring, swift justice.
Il It was in October last, beautiful
zautumnal day near the middle of the
most delightful of months. when the
Community was shocked to learn of
the tragic death of Mrs. Frank Ra-
singer, pretty little woman who had
been living with him upon the farm
i'm Hopewell township just off the
Shiloh turnpike. Greater was the
shock when the authorities had con-
cluded that the death of the little
woman was due to the husband, and
Frank Rasinger was remanded to the
2jall, from which this morning he
walked to his doom. In four short
&months all of the tragic events attend
amt upon the case have been enacted,
and the law, supreme and unyielding,
has claimed it's own. Frank Rasinger
#is dead.
u After his awful crime, crime still
fresh in the minds of the public, and
need not be rehearsed, Rasinger was
but short while at liberty, and upon
the day of his pretty wife's burial he
Fcontessed his awful crime and told
zthe motive. He told it freely and
without fear or favor, told it to un-
Burden his crushed soul
81 Then came the January term of
#Dourt. The prompt indictment upon
the part of the Grand Jury was i'm
lnediately followed by trial before a
Jury, and the defence, if defence it
&can be called, he made was so loath-
some that conviction was but ques-
8tion of the time when the jurors
rhould make first attempt to arrive
at verdict. The sentence was pro-
nounced, the day OF his execution was
fixed, and that hour has passed.
4 The Rasinger since sentence was
pronounced was not the Rasinger upon
tthe stand in the trial before the jury.
He has been q model, tractable pris-
pner, and he; has spedt MS time in pre-
paring for the institabie. His guiid-
ance spiritual was ia most sincere and
8earnest hands and Rasinger professed
and seemed to feel the greatest earn
&estness. He has met time after time
those who loved him most, and the
conferences have been tender and pitt
*ful, especially to the poor old father
and mother.
Il Further than this Rasinger has en-
deavored to show that he has not had
unkindly feeling against those whose
duty it was to clearly and forcibly
<present his guilt to the Court, and
among those whom he has confided
most In the latter days, has been Pros
#ecutor Fithian. In fact, the latter
has aided Rasinser much in arranging
mis- earthly affairs satisfactorily.
Not all through the trying time has

Of distrust, anxiety and unrest peryades

New York.
1t was rumored that the tavern had
sunk into the depths of failure, and
that 1t would pass into the hands of q
man who will conduct it on the straight
lines Of common saloon.
Patrons before the bar expressed
sympathy for the bishop. They re-
called how a trife more than a year
ago the place opened with prayer and
how the bishop spoke then hopefully of
his pet scheme. s..'
These thoughts, however, did not dis
turb ". A. skidmore, who expects to
close the purchase of the place.
Skidmore has his own ideas about
drinking resorts. They run opposite
to Bishop Potter g. He said:
In a business of this kind you can t
follow the Lore. and chase the devil at
the same time. -
Somebody asked the bartender where
the excise license was.
II don't know he said GIVE
been looking for it ever since I've been
here.'
"Bishop Potter would never run a
saloon without license Indignantly
answered another patron.
Mr.. Skidmore had nothing to say on
that question.

FEARFUL CREATURE
IS ENORMOUS
Longest Tapeworm, on Record
=. Brought to Cooper
r..; Thursday.

The largest parasite of which there is
any record in medical annals was
brought to Voegeli Brothers Thursday
by Well-known business man of Eau
Claire, Wis. The creature measured
almost one hundred feet in length and it
was brought to Mr.. Cooper late Thurs
day afternoon.
The gentleman who had taken some
of the now celebrated New Discovery
medicine for stomach trouble stated that
the parasite had not greatly affected his
health, and the only indications he had
OF its presence was general feeling
of lassitude.
How such thing could remain in the
system of human being for over a
year 8 time without completely break
ing down the health Of the individual
SO affected is hard to understand.
Never before in the history of this
amount of interest as Mr.. Cooper and
his preparations are now being sold in
Minneapolis in such enormous quanti-
ties as to justify those connected with
the sale in thinking that one-half of the
population Of the city will be taking
the preparation before he leaves
Among those who called to thank Mr..
Cooper on Friday morning for what his
preparations have done was Mrs. M. A.

with stomach trouble. I was greatly
