RETURNS; SOLVES MYSTERY
iiinoisan Surprises Police by Voluntar-
lily Admitting Murder.

Eureka, H., Nov. 13.-Although there
was no evidence of any weight against
him. George Crumley of Pamela confess
ed that he murdered James Gibbons, a
farmer living near Pamela, last August
After the discovery of the murder farm
ers secured the country for the assas-
sin and a reward of $1,000 was offered
for his arrest, but to no avail There
was absolutely no tangible clew to the
identity of the slayer. although Crum-
ley's disappearance aroused suspicion.
Last week Crumley, who had been all
over the state stealing his way on
steamboats, and freight trains, returned
and was arrested on a charge of bur-
glary. The police are at a loss to I'M
derstand why he confessed the crime.

Judge Beer BY
Its True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider
It Means to National Temperance.

We have recently published n num-
Der of articles on the food value of
beer, and we believe that sooner or
later beer will be recognized at its true
worth, as food beverage of splendid
tonic effect and high nourishing value.
Noted men and women of this country
are already alive to the situation and
besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and DIR.
Joseph FeiSler of Northwestern Uni
verSity, many others of note give their
endorsement to beer as a means to ma
tional temperance.
Miss Cousins, for a quarter of q CEN
fury the most eminent woman suf-
frage advocate in the West, said in a
recent interview: There never will be
n law that will compel prohibition, and
the sensible thing for the Women s
Christian Temperance Union to do is
nourishing drinks like beer, which sell
dom produces drunkenness. A promi-
nent army officer who served in the
Southwest, operated canteenS at three
different posts. He made the canteens
so acceptable to the soldiers, who
that he actually ran all the low dives
of the. surrounding neighborhood out
of business
Pabst Beer meets all the demands
for a mild, healthful, refreshing bever-
age such as Miss Cousins suggests. 1t
is made of the exclusive Pabst eight
day malt. choicest hops and pure
water. Eight-day malt. which is the
only perfect malt, gives Pabst Beer
its superior food value and richness
Strong in nouriShment the body re-
quires. it is refreshing and satisfying.
Perfect in age, purity and strength
absolutely clean and containing only
three and one-half per cent of alcohol,
PabSt Beer is the ideal temperance
beverage. No other is SO healthful.

SCATTERS GEMS BROADCAST
$4,000 Worth of Diamonds ShoWered
on Friends and Strangers.

Galveston, Texas, Nov 13.-May AL
vido, wife of Myron Alvido. has scatter
ed $4,000 worth of diamonds in Gal
weston and Houston. She went crazy
first. She gave the diamonds to both
friends and strangers. When arrested
at the Grand Central station at Hous-
ton she was attempting to scale a high
iron picket fence in flight from imagin-
airy enemies. In the county jail she
raves wildly. None of the jewels has
been recovered. Some of them she
threw recklessly into the streets and
wild scrambles ensued.

Awonderful Exhibit.

At the close of the civil war the
debt of the United States exceeded
$4,000, 900. Ii is now a little more than
one-third of that amount. That is.near-
~ twO-thirds of the debt has been paid
and the interest on the remainder re-
duced TO a rate merely nominal COM
pared with that paid at the close of the
war. And while but one-third of the
debt remains, the wealth and resources
of the country have increased fve-fold.
Again, during the period since the
close of the war, pensions have been
paid exceeding in amount the debt in
CURED in support of the national
cause, existing at the close of the
struggle. Other vast sums have been
expended .by the government for i'm
provement and support of its arma-
ments and its rivers and harbors, pub
lie buildings and other utilities. Yet
withal. national taxation is little felt
iE< comparison with taxation for local
and state purposes. 1t should be said,
however, that the indirect and there
fore most productive and least burden
some sources of taxation are in the
hands of the general government.
Without being mad for material
things" we may take pride in the
material progress of the country dur
ing the last forty years. History has
nothing to compare with it. And
whatever pessimists and croakers may
say to the contrary, the country has
made great progress in these forty
years, and still is making marvellous
progress in recognition and observance
of the laws of morality, honor, and
truth. This makes an alert public |
conscience which is the mother of
righteousness.

New Version of
An Old Adage
Do You Eat For Mere Stimulation Or
For Real Nutrition?

In matters of money. there is an old
adage that says. It's not so much
what you. earn as what you save" and
jrst so, in the question of food and
health, it might be said as truly. IT'S
not so much what you eat as what real
nourishment you get out of what you
eat"
This is the secret of health, strength
and vitality No difference how much
nutrition your food contains. if your
system does not assimilate that nutri-
tion-take it up and distribute it
throughout your body-you gain moth
ing beyond temporary stimulation by
having eaten it,
MaltaVita, best whole white wheat.
mixed with pure barley malt extract,
thoroughly steamed and cooked and
every flake baked to a crisp. is rich
in nutrition and is assimilated readily
even by the weakest stomach. Every
one of its health giving, strength
building elements is taken up by the
system to nouriSh and sustain life
And Malta-Vita is so good to eati
A perfect breakfast is impossible with
out it, and it's just as good three times
n day. Try n bowlful with cream. You
never tasted anything so good.
Malta-Vita is always ready to eat.

Some Tainted Money.

Sam Lewis, of London, was the
most notorious money lender of all
England
He began low down and squeezed
unlawful money from the poor. He
worked his way up until he became
the money lender to aristocrats. Even
King Edward. in his old Prince of
Wales days, went to Lewis for money.
Lewis. it is said, gave the prince spec
ial rates that he might draw the Gus
tom of the nobility.
This money lender, grown to be a
millionaire many times over, used
his hold upon lords and ladies to
push his way into high society All
England howled when Mrs. Lewis was
received at Edwards court.
Mean as he was in some respects,
Lewis in his latter days, was good
to the poor. The common people
compared him to Robin Hood, who
robbed the rich to give>to the poor. "
When Lewis died he left a big estate.
BY the terms of his will his wife was
given a life estate At her death the
vast fortune was to go to charity.
Now the widow is dead and the money
is available One hospital gets over
six million dollars. Seven millions is
to be used in establishing homes for
the poor Scores of other philanthro-
pies get large sums of money. These
questions naturally force themselves:
1. Is not this money, unlawfully
gotten by usury from rich and poor,
tainted money!
2. Did Sam Lewis, by leaving this
