vireinia Murder Mysteries.

The relatives of Mr.. Willis Hargroyes,
a wealthy farmer aad manufacturer,
whose body was found on the tresllc OF
the Atlantic COas; Line Railway at
Boone station, near Norfolk, few
night ago, have secured evidence which
leads them to believe that Mr.. Har-
groves was murdered and that bis body
was left on the lrestle to conceal tue
crime. The relatives of the dead man
have been informed by "Bill" Andrews.
a colored employe on the farm of Henry
Kirn, that the night the body was fonnd
he heard someone call for help and he
afterward heard two pistol shots. Other
people living near the scene OF the trag-
edy have prroborated Andrews state
ment The body WAS too badly mutt
lated for pistol wounds u be seen. An
other clue which leads Mr.. Hargroves'
relatives to believe that be was murder
ed is that the hat and eyeglasses of the
dead man were found on the railroad
track between Boone station and the
trestle and his coat was found on the
railroad track between the trestle and
his factory. 1t is believed that the man
was murdered at the point where his hat
and eyeglasses were found and after his
clothing had been riftd ofall their yalu
ables his body was carried to the tre'tle
and left there.
The corOner's jury in Roanoke yester-
day, after investigating the murder of j.
B. Trsynhsm, who was found dead
Monday, with his skull crushed, re-
turned verdict to the effect that un-
known persons were responsible for his
death. There were nine different wounds
inflicted on the head, f-ce and neck,
any one of which, in the opinion of the
physicians, would have caused death.
Two buckets of water, one deeply tinged
with blood, the other slightly disco!ored,
we're found 10 the room, which indicated
that the assassin had washed the blood
from his hands. The wound in the
neck severed the jugular vein, and cut
the windpipe halt tn two. The police
declare that no tangible clew has been
found. The murdered man left large
property interests, and recently received
81, 900 for the safe of some property to
the Norfolk and Western Railroad.

At the New York State Assembly OF
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as TO be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how mauy do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches. nervousness, that bearing-dowu
feeling. painful or irregular periods,
pelvic catarrh, displacement of the
female organs, indigestion or sleepless-
ness? There is a tried and true remedy
for all these ailments Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has re-
stored more American women TO health
than all other remedies in the world.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can. For thirty years ii
has been curing the worst forms of
female complaints.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing
