he can play a college student quite

NEW LIGHT ON MURDER.
Post-Mortem Disproves Claims II
Dona Gilman Case.

Dayton, O., Dec.-Sf4 That Dona
Gilman was not assaulted at the time
of her murder ana that she had hei
supper at her home instead of at the
factory where she worked, as stated
by her relatives. was the statement
made today By one Of the physicians
who took part in the post-mortem ex-
animation made on the body of the
girl yesterday.
Another development today is a
rumor that Mrs. Gilman. who Is ac-
cuse by a Cincinnati detective OF kill
ing her daughter, attempted TO
commit suicide today at the hospital
where she is confined by illness. The
hospital authorities refuse to deny
or affirm the truth of the rumor.
David Curtis. the half-witted man
who confessed to killing the girl, was
srraigned before Magistrate Terry,
and pleaded not guilty. Twenty wit
nesses have been summoned by the
defense, who will attempt to prove
an alibi.

Diseases Cured by Dande-
lion Tablets and Pills.
Constipation

In constipation the Tablets act as mild
csttzrsic; the Pills are slightly stronger,
but both tablets and pills act upon the
mucous merlbranes OF the intestines,
therefore their action is absolutely sure
and also for this reason they never gripe
or cause tac least discomfort. They are
equally good fd< children as well as adults,
because they are a tonic and do not
produce any unnatural condition Of the
bowels.

Judge asked himself in louder key
