Before their return they find themselves

Sometimes people go to sleep without

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. -"..s
Manistique, Mich, Oct. Gan air Of
mystery surrounds the death Of Archie
Smith, we]l-to-do Schoolcraft county
farmer. The deceased had been missing
for several days, and when his corpse
was finally found it was under such cir
cumstances as to indicate suicide. A
loose moose made Of shoestrings was
found about the neck and was fastened
to a tree trunk by leather strap.
However, while casual indications
pointed to hanging the indications
were but a blind. Investigation has
proved that death was not caused by
responsible. It was some deadly and
penetrating poison that ended the life
of the farmer this is the opinion of
the physicians who conducted the post
mortem examination-but whether self
administered is something yet to be
determined. Officers are at work on
the case. " ----T5T~1 .54. ...-.4..- T.,

Chicago, Oct. e.-**valentine has
been shaken out Of his line OF wheat. -
This cry was raised on the Board Of
Trade when, amid a scene of frenzied
activity, large quantities of the cereal
were thrown into the pit from all sides,
causing prices to slump. More than
5000, 900 bushels were thrown on the
market shortly after the opening yes
terday and brokers hastily figured out
that this was the same wheat bought
by A. I. Valentine a few days ago.
It has been ascertained that Valentine
had personally sold out nearly 2,O00,-
900 bushels Of May wheat.
Many did not hesitate to declare
that the big speculator s plunge on the
quill side Of the market had cost him
at least $4,000. Others, however,
Thought that the wheat bought by Val
entine last Tuesday was not for his
personal account and that he had lost
no such sum of money.

Catching Gold in October. "
It is very. unfortunate indeed to get a
cold during the month of October.
Any cold more or less undermines the
system, and a great many colds lay the
foundation for chronic catarrh, pneu-
monia and other diseases of the winter
season.
The watchword Of October is to guard
against cold, SO as to make the most Of
this beautiful and healthful month.
Pe-ru-na, a Convenient Remedy.
Peruna kept in the house is con-
venient remedy against colds. At the
appearance of the first symptoms of
cold, a few doses of Peruna will often
mitigate the attack entirely.
Peruna is the recognized family medi-
| cine in over a million homes, and its
value cannot be overestimated when it is
properly used.
