"The family of Jos. Sontarea

we took rooms in another house.

Mrs. Marie Antoinette TOlla, with
the gallows staring her in tie face,

murdered her aged tra6ncer be-
cause of her great love for her
husband.
"Aiutam! 10 ii no saliva la tua

This is the appealing cry with
which the poor young creature ever

did it to spare your life!'
When Mrs. Tolla tells her awful
story of that wretched day last
May, when she took the life of Jos.
Sontarea, she declares that not on
ly was her womanly honor at stake
but that of the life Of her husband
as well.

well known New York criminal

province from which Antoinette
Tolla comes.
Although the death watch has
been set upon her Mrs. Tolla is

thing for this poor woman" was

own troubles and only solicitous
for her companion in wretchedness.
The Italians are a wonderfully
dramatic people Not only did
"Toinette" tell the story of her
wrongs in a rich. melodious voice,
but she acted it out as well. Even
to one not understanding a word
of her native tongue she made plain
with her expressive hands the suf-
ferings she had endured.
From the time | first arrived in
Amreica, Sontarea began his per-
secutions," she said in Italian, and
Attorney Barra later turned it into
English.

That is not the Italian way. II may
be the American way, but it is not
so with US in Italy. Had told
my husband he would have gone
straight away and fought with Jos.

man, would have killed my huS-

Wednesday morning, June 9th, at 1870
o'clock, when Mr.. Dave S. Thompson
and Miss Bessie Kriley took the sacred
vows that made them man and wife.
Many OF their friends had been expect
ing to hear OF the announcement that
the day had been set, but the young
people stole march on them and were
quietly married in Denver on the above
date.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson returned to
this city Wednesday evening where they
were met by a good portion OF the
who charivaried them
the greater part of the evening. They
will reside fol the present in the Kriley
residence where they have taken some
furnished rooms.
Both the bride and groom are we'll
known to the community at large and
therefore need no introduction. Suffice
to say that Mr.. Thompson has secured
a splendid partner, rather pretty. splen
did disposition, amiabie and no doubt
a good home keeper. Even at this. he
hasn't the best of the bargain, as every.
one knows him to be sober, industrious,
and man in every sense of the word.

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like a young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you
Or, do you want to know something of the
composition and character of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR., Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what his medicines are made of
and verifies it under oath. This he feels
he can well afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman's peculiar weak
nesses, irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvice region, accom-
panied, ofttimeS, with a deblitating,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is a most efficient remedy.
1t is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength, to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system OF
thus rendering childbirth safe and COM
paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre-
scription" is a most potent, strengthening
tonic to the general system and to the
organs distinctly feminine in particular.
1t is also soothing and invigorating
nervine and cures nervous exhaustion,
nervous prostration, neuralgia. hysteria,
spasms. chorea or st. Vitus's dance, and
other distressing nervous symptoms at
tendant upon functional and organic dis
eases of the distinctly feminine organs.
A host of medical authorities of all the
several schools of practice, recommend
each of the several ingredients of which
rFavorite Prescription is made for the
cure of the diseases for which it is claimed
to be cure. You may read what they
say for yourself by sending postal card
request for a free booklet of extracts from
the leading authorities, to Doctor r. V.
Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y, and it will come to
