An Insane Woman poisons Her Two
Young Children and Herself.

On last Monday Mrs. Bert Ogle, re-
siding with her husband and three
children on a farm three miles south
east of Cleopatra, gave strychnine to
her two young children and after their
death, which occurred almost immedi-
ately, she took fatal dose of the
poison herself, from the effects of which
she died the following night. Her
husband was absent from home at the
time the terrible deed was committed.
The eldest child, boy several years
of age, was playing out of doors when
the two younger children were poison
ed. His mother attempted to get him
into the house, with the intent, no
doubt, of poisoning him also. but he
probably suspecting that something
was wrong, refused to come in and thus
saved his life. The woman has exhibit
ed signs Of insanity, the first symptoms
occurring last summer, and again a
week or two ago, but it was not thought
that her condition was dangerous or
the case sufficiently serious to warrant
placing her under restraint or treat
ment. Mrs. Ogle was the daughter Of
Mr.. Jacob Lindsey, a prominent old
citizen Of Mercer county and woman
generally respected and esteemed
Lineville Tribune.

The Ideal Family Laxative

is one that can be used by the entire
family. young and old, weak and strong,
without any danger Of harmful effect.
1t should have properties which insure
the same dose, always having the same
effects, otherwise the quantity will
have to be increased and finally lose it's
effect altogether. These properties can
be found in that old family remedy
Bradreths Pills, because it's ingredients
are of the purest herbal extracts, and
every pill is kept for three years before
being sold, which allows them to
mellow. We do not believe there is a
laxative on the market that is SO care
fully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxatives that your grandparents used.
They have been in use for over a
century and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

mourn for their truest friend.
Mrs. Glaze was woman of tenderest
sympathies in the home; devoted and
loving wife; friend and neighbor to all
who knew her. Her hands and heart
have always been busy with the worlds

and defeats yet she struggled on and

The following notice of the death of
Charles A. Buchanan, father of Riley

this county, passed away Tuesday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock at the home of his son,
G. f.. Buchanan, after an illness of about
two weeks.

Terre Haute, Indiana, on April 18th,
1886, died Nov. 90, 1906. He moved from

H. H. ROGERS WHOSE EYES CHANGE
FROM PALE BLUE To JET BLACK

priceless pearl pin, tall fiat collar
and a filmy white cambria hand
kerchief protrudes from the outside
pocket of his coat.
The wonderful feature of Rogers
face is the expressiveness of his
eyes. When he is calm they are
wide open, pale blue orbs that see
everything and say nothing. When
the spirit of the man is reused
these queer eyes turn jet black and
seem to fairly shoot fire as steel
on flying emery. They are eyes
that bore holes through everything
before them.
Dropping down over the shining
nose spectacles are heavy gray eye
brows, which add a sinister APP
pearance to the face. Rogers has
heavy, hard jaw, his chin pro-
trudes, his nose is long and
straight and fearless, hooking
slightly at the end. His forehead
rises high, giving him an extraor-
binary large skull. Hisears are
unusually large, denoting, as ply
siognomists say, generosity. Hard
lines circle the eyes and mouth and
deepen into burrows at the chin.
His mustache is pure white and
bristles out sharply at the ends.
Rogers parts his hair in the middle
and waves it out loosely at the
sides. 1t is pure white, save two
little brown spots just over the
ears.
The whole assembly of features
forms masterful head.
Rogers is quick, impulsive and
considera BILE of an actor. His at
titude on the witness stand when
he was refusing to answer even the
simplest questions by Attorney
General Hadley, was becoming ri
diculous. Quick as a wink, he re-
allied this and suddenly converted
himself into a humorist He made
funny gibes here and there and
soon the strange situation in the
court room was turned into jollity.
Even the attorney general and the
commissioner laughed at Rogers

However impotent Rogers may

Rogers looks very much like a
