Busse Must Hang.
Des Moines.--The state supreme
court has denied Louis Busse, the
Butler county murderer. writ or
habeas corpus. This means that
Busse, after escaping the gallows on
three previous occasions, will have
10 hang Friday, December IA, unless
his attorneys can devise some new
means of delay
1t has been reported that appeal
may be taken to the United States
supreme court on constitutional
grounds, but unless such appeal Is
possible Busse Is now face to face
with death. The last legislature re-
fused to intercede In Buses behalf,
declaring that It had no authority to
commute death sentences, and no
hope exists for an appeal to the com
ing legislature.
Governor Cummins has three times
fixed the date for Buses execution
after the time set by the district
court had expired. The governors
recent determined stand In the Joseph
Smith case, who was executed April
20, indicates that he will not stay
the death penalty imposed by order
OF court.
Busse Is confined at tho Anamosa
peniteniary, where his execution will
take place. Sheriff Henry Parrot OF
Bremen county will have to oriciate
as the hangman, the conviction OF
Busse having taken place in his coun'
ty.
The decision OF the supreme court
on the last appeal ia per curtain
which means all the judges concur In
denying the writ.
Busse was convicted OF one OF the
most atrocious crimes ever commit
ted In the state. The evidence shows
that Busse coolly and deliberately set
about to murder his wife at the farm
home June IS. 1901. by first sending
bis own children, by former wife
boy and girl, away from home for
the day In company with n .'m
hand. Left alone with his wife, with
whom he had quarreled over money
affairs, Busse beat her into insensi
bility with q chair. crushing her skull.
Then to make sure of her death he
cut his wife's throat with butcher
knife. Evidently fearing that his
crime would be discovered. Busse
dragged the woman's almost lifeless
body into the kitchen, heaped bed
clothing about II saturated with kero.
sene and t.sen set fire to the funeral
pyre. He then rushed from the
house. leaving step-chlld In the
burning building. A brother OF
Buses working In neighborlng
field, heard his cry of fire and ar
rived In time to save the step-child
and the house from the flames. Mrs
Busses body was found In the kit
chen partly burned. To add to the
horror, the flames had burst the
woman's abdomen, revealing an un
born babe almost burned to n crisp
So intense was the feeling against
Busse In his home county that he
narrowly escaped lynching, and his
trial was taken to Bremen county on
a change Of venue.

That Charles Thomas, convicted
of the notorious Mabel Schotleld muir
der, must serve his life sentence in

and that no prejudicial error was com.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable
Remedy for the Weak, AiIins
and BIoodIess.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something I'M
healthful in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to a slow impoverishment of
the blood and all enfeeblement of the
whole body. When serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it,
Mr.. G. E. Legg, of Upton, w. Va,
has found u successful method OF treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:
II used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and bad state of my blood. Twas
anamic, as the doctors say. People
generally would say that I didn't have
blood enough, or that didn't have the
right kind of blood mine was too thin.
My kidneys and liver were out of order.
l was badly annoyed by sour risings
from my stomach. There was good
deal of pain, too, in my back and under
my right shoulder blade"
"How long did these troubles last? y
"For over two years. For four
months Of that time I was under the
care of physician, but his medicine did
me 10 good. Meanwhile I learned OF
the cures that had been wrought by DR..
Williams Pink Pills"

they are helping Others to whom l have
recommended them. They have real
merit and know of nothing that would
take their place."

Doctors Work in Shifts.

Physicians in Germany propose to
divide the day and night between
them. They object to being subject to
the call of their patients at any hour
Of the twenty-four. The patient is
not to be left in the lurch, however.
His opportunity to spend his money
on medical attendance is not to be
curtailed. The German doctors pro-
pose, as "a matter of simple justice to
themselves, day of twelve hours.
This means night and day shifts.
and as doctors need rest the same
as all other human beings, and can
do their Lest work only when they
have it, the change proposed seems to
be as clearly in the lay interest as in
that of the profession.
