senior counsel for Thaw, andsthere told
the story of her relations with Stan
ford White, from the first meeting to
his death on the Madison Square Gar

Her husband s lawyer had insisted
that nothing be omitted from her story,
because, he pointed out, the whole
truth, no matter how unpleasant it
might be in the telling, must be known
to counsel SO that they may meet
every issue when the young woman is
called to the witness stand at her hus-
band IS trial.
When Mrs. Thaw finished her long
tale she had been talking four hours.
Three stenographers had been kept
busy taking dictation, SO that the
transcript could be made with greater
speed. There were nearly ninety type
written pages Of what may sbe called

What Is q Tonic?
A tonic il medicine that increases
the appetite, increases the digestion, in
creases the power of the system to as.
simulate and appropriate food.
This is the action of all true tonics.
To be sure. there are tonics that arc
simply stinaulants. They trrttate the
stomach, and an unnatural craving for
food is excited This class OF medicines
should be classed as stiraulants rather
than tonics. 49,. 49,"
/, A tonic, as above stated, quickens all
the functions of digestion. It invig-
crates the body by furnishing more force
for the body.
Tho action Of true tonics Is not tenn
porary, but lasting.
The lassitude which warm weather
brings is due to an under-supply OF
nutrition tor the body Plenty OF 1000
may be on the table, but the food is not
relished. or else Is not digested. -
Slight catarrhal arrangements OF the
stomach and bowels will SO effectually
interfere with digestion as to produce
great depression Of the system.

Scalped and Skull Fractured.

A peculiar accident happened
Thursday morning, at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Myhre, who reside about 6
miles north of this place. Mrs.
Myhre and her - year old daughter,
Gertrude, were in the act of separat-
ing cream, when suddenly one of the
little girls braids of hair caught in
the rapidly revolving shaft of the
cream separator, and was wound
around it until her head was drawn
down close to the shaft. The braid
together with part of her scalp was
torn from her head she also received
two fractures of the skull which may
yet prove fatal The mother stood
only few feet away from where the
accident happened, but it all took
place in less time than it takes to tell
about it, as the shaft in which she
was caught revolves, we should
Judge, about 1900 or 1000 revolutions
per minute, probably even more. DR..
Carlson of this place is attending to
the patient, he sewed the scalp on
again and at the present writing it is
healing very rapidly. Hopes for the
little girls recovery are entertained.

dinner he went out to the granary and
shot himself. Last spring he had a
