aract-abSOrbing glasses. He told them that they had better keep as csosely as possible along legitimate lines, and in that event none of the local opti- clans would bother them. They prom ised that they would be entirely Iegiti- mate, and especially would not engage in price cutting. That promise. from the stories Of the dupes, appears to have been religiously kept.
 It is agreed on all sides that they gre accomplished in their business. They sold spectacles where no one else could have sold them; they sold to people who had no more use for spectacles than they had for a battleship. They worked very rapidly. They began talking spectacles before they got in side of the victims house, and they seldom remained longer than half an hour
 in their tour of the valley they were driven from Norris livery stabie One day Walter Norris. in the absence Of the regular driver. went with them. The dinner hour found them some dis tance from the city near the residence of an old friend of MT. Norris. They accordingly went there for dinner. While the team was being put away, MT. Norris warned his friend against the visitors. He told him that he knew nothing about them, but he suspected them of being fakers. His friend told MT. Norris that he need not be uneasy. as nobody about the house needed spectacles. In precisely one hour from
 the time the Liebers entered the house they had eaten theh dinners and sold three paira of spectacles. for which they received about $6O. The old man who had told MT. Norris that he did not need glasses had been converted into an eager pur- chaser.
 Among the places they visited was the home or a man who had q child afflicted with some disease which had baffled physicians. The Liebers hay.
 ing examined it, diagnosed the ailment and prescribed a peculiar kind of glasses, which they warranted to effect cure. The anxious father to whom the recovery of his child was more than money, readily paid S250.
 Tn their operations in the valley the Liebers had such slight aid as the linn tied advertising power of the Arizona Gazette could afford them. This was supplemented by the much wider cir culation of dodgers thrown into the wagons of farmers and scattered about the streets. The personal magnetism of the Liebers and their assurance were the chief contributors to the sue cess of this extraordinary swindle. The Gazette however, did what it could for them in it's humble way, and, as every little bit helps, no doubt they hooked one or more unfortunates by means ot the cooperation of that journal. When the Liebers arrived in the city they naturally came directly to the office of The Republican, as all men do who understand the value and art of adver- | Using. The rate quoted to them was i equivalent to an order to get out of doors. They next sought The Gazette for aid in creating demand for radium and for spectacles. which have the re- markable faculty of absorbing cata.
 raCts.
 i The Liebers evidently enjoyed the sympathy of The Gazette to the last. ! That paper has consistently refrained from taking any part in the exposure i of the swindle, nor has it even allud-
 ed to the arrest of the swindlers.

Charlotte, N. c., July 14.-Between
the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock Satur-
day morning an unknown person or
persons entered the house Of Ike Ly-
erly, a we'll known farmer residing
near BARRIERS Junction, 40 miles
north of here, on the Western North
Carolina division of the Southern rail-
way, killing Lyerly, his wife and three
of their children, jamie and Johnnie,
aged 3 and IL years, and the infant
baby, Alice, and set fire to the house.
The parents and the three children
were sleeping in front room on the
first floor. Two other daughters
were sleeping up stairs, and they were
unmolested. They were awakened
by the smoke and flames from below
the intruder having set fire to the
house.
When they reached the lower floor
a most horrible and appalling scene
greeted them. They beheld their
father, mother and three children
| dead in bed with their heads crushed
and their faces badly distigured.
These girls, Mary and Addie, aged
Is and 16, respectively, managed to
carry the bodies out of the house and
extinguish the flames. They then ran
to the home Of the nearest neighbor,
W. P. Barber, and told him of the
awful tragedy.
The train dispatcher here, R. B. Null
ikin, quickly notified the sheriff at
Salisbury of the tragedy, who started
at once to the scene of the killing
with blOodhOunds and a posse of men
armed BloOdhounds were also sent
from Winston to aid i'll the search for
the murderer or murderers
1t is not known whether the guilty
party or parties were white or colored.
1t seems that a heavy club or brass
knucks were used in killing the fam
lily.
Great excitement prevails through
out the county and large crowds are
securing the neighborhOod
AS yet, however there is no clew
as to the guilty party or parties.
Mr.. Lyerly, who is a well known
farmer, has a brother who is a can
didate for congress.

a Wolnan's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed, Such
a medicine is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with a record of over
forty years Of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print it's
formula on every bottle-wrapper and at
test it's completeness and correctness
under oath; remedy devised and adapted
to woman's delicate constitution by an
educated phySician-an experienced spe-
ciafist in wOman'S diseases; a remedy,
every ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement Of the most emf
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; a remedy which has
more bOnd-ttde cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for woman's
special requirements: 1t is not given
away in the form of "trial bottles" to be
experimental with, but is sold at fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
ging pains, low down in the abdomen, or
pelvis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled, has gnawing feeling in
stomach, sees imaginary floating specks,
or spots before her eyes, has melanchola,
or "blues," or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t will
invigOrate and tone up the whole system
and especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as a substitute for a medi-
cine like DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion, which is OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and
has a record of over forty years and sells
more largely to-day than ever before. Its
makers withhold no secrets from their
patients, believing open publicity to be
the very best guaranty of merit.
DR.. Pierce invites all suffering women
to consult him by letter free of charge.
All letters of consultation are held as
sacredly confidential and an answer is re-
turned in plain sealed envelope. Address:
DR.. R.V. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
