W.. 7. Morgan arrived in Topeka to-
day to spend "A hours paying his re-

third. because my wife is house clean

NEW NICKUM CLEW.
j. j. Kropeck Now in Asylum Suspect
ed by John WiIIzerson.

Joseph ]. Kropeck, an inmate of the
state insane asylum at Topeka, is SuS-
pected of the Nickun murder in Topeka
and the Job murder in Ottawa, two of
the most fiendish and revolving crimes
ever committed in Kansas.
Ex-Sheriff John M. WilkerSon is re-
sponsible for the suspicion against Kro-
peck. He has been working on the
Nickum case for several months, and
has finally centered his attentions on
Kropeclk, who was sent to the Topeka
asylum from Hclton, Kansas, on April
"a.
Wilkerson had a number of photo
graphs taken of Kropeck, and sent
them to people who had some knowl-
edge os the Niclkum and Job murders.
Two men have identified Kropeck by
these pictures as a man who was seen
hanging around Ottawa on March 81,
just before Mrs. Caroline Job was muir
dered while asleep in her room at
carpenter who boarded at the Nickum
hotel in Topeka, identified the man as
one who occupied a room next to his
own about a year before the brutal muir
der of Mrs. Nickum, the proprietor
which occurred in the early morning of
November 20, 1904.
The officers have been of the belief
that the murderer of Mrs. Nickum and
the murderer of Mrs Job were the same
man. owing to the manner in which the
women were killed, which was Identical
In each case the fiend struck the vic
tim with an axe and then mutilated the
body in a horrible and revolving man
ner.
Mr.. Wilkerson's evidence against Kro-
peck dates from April 20, of this year,
when the suspect wandered into Holton,
Kansas. His actions were peculiar, and
while in ordinary conversation with
man on the street he flew into a violent
rage for no reason whatever. His ac-
lions were reported to Sheriff Bateman,
who began hunt for the man, and

CLEVER swINDLE.
Department Store EmpIoye Hits Upon
a New Plan.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-George H. Moore,
known To the police under three differ
ent names. has been arrested on
charge of larceny and obtaining money
under false oretenses. The scheme
adopted by him, the police declare, is
one of the most ingenious used in the
past few years.
Moore would obtain employment from
one of the department stores and in
that way learn the names Of the
patrons of the store who had charge &C
counts and the amount of goods usually
bought by them during a month. He
would call at their homes and state
that Re had come to collect a bill that
had been east due. He succeeded in
mulcting many patrons out of hun
dreds os dollars.

All women work; some in their
homes. some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature Of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints. ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhpa,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
Of = monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
OF the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or
ganism.

Ultimate Decision Post
poned Three Years.
MURDERER OF RICE
Lower Court Was Sustained BY a Dr.
vided Vote of the New York Court OF
Appeals. Crime Was Com
mitted September 3.
1900.
(By the Associated Press.)

Albany, n Y, June 9.-The Court
of Appeals today by a divided count,
voting four to three, sustained the
lower courts in adjudging Albert Z.
Patrick, the New York lawyer, guilty
of murder in the first degree, causing
the death of William Marsh Rice, an
aged millionaire. formerly a resident
of Texas. On April 7, 1902, Patrick
was convicted on an indictment charg-
ing him with the murder of Rice by
chloroform and mercury, administered
to him during his sickness on Septem-
Der 20, 1900. The case reached the
Court of Appeals on March IA, OF this
year.
Patrick has succeeded in pOstponing
the ultimate decision of his fate for
over three years by display of acu-
men and resourcefulness that has ex-
cited the wonder of the members or
the bar and the public at large. The
opinion of the court was written by
Judge Gray. He sets forth that it
was not claimed that Patrick person
ally committed the murder for the
prosecution had the voluntary confess
sion of Jones; that it was he who ala
it. induced and aided thereto by Pat
rick, but the defendant was princl-
pal in the commission of the crime,
under our law, if he aided and abetted
it. whether present or absent.
After a review of the evidence
Judge Gray holds that the jury might
we'll find upon evidence that the death
was not the result of natural causes,
and that it could only be accounted
for as having happened in the way
testified TO by Jones; that is, by chic
roform poisoning, administered while
the victim was sleeping.
In conclusion Judge Gray said that
"the evidence independently of the
testimony of the accomplice, is fraugh'
with a crushing implication of the de-
PENDANT in the deliberate purpose to
kin Rice. in order that he might pos
