Mrs William Lage, OF 312 South

says: Il can say that have certainly
received much benefit from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills which have been
using only short time. For some
i time have suffered greatly with
sbackache and a weakness of the kid
3 neys The secretions were scant, ac-
4 companied by burning pains, and at
times they were SO frequent in action
q as to cause me to get up several times
during the night. I saw Doan's KID
sney Pills advertised and highly recon-.
mended and my husband procured them
! for me at Mcbride & Will Drug Co.'S
store. The first few doses Of this fine
remedy gave me relief and am
gradually getting better, The action

A WOMAN IN THE CASE
Hypnotist Jerome, Waverly Suicide,
Disappointed in Love.


Waveriy, May 1O.-The coroner's
jury in the case Of r. w. Jerome, the
travelling hypnotist, found dead sitting
in chair in his room at the Fortner
house, brought in a verdict of death
by his own hand. 1t is now believed
that he had been disappointed in love
affairs, and had taken his life while
temporarily insane.
Jerome had been about the city
nearly week, and had made arrange
ments to give entertainment as hyp-
notist at the opera house on May 20. II
and %. Tuesday morning he told one
of the employees ofithe hotel that he
was going to Waterloo to inset a girl.
After spending the day there he re-
turned on the w, c. f. & NJ, spending
much OF the time taken to make the
trip convershlg with Joseph Cass, a
banker of Sumner, and his family.
Upon arriving at the hotel he told the
employee with whom he had conversed
in the morning that the girl had dis
appointed him. Shortly afterwards he
went to the repair shop of s. H. Page,
Jr where he bought 3S-calibre re-
yolver.
Immediately on returning to the ho-
tel he rang UP a servant girl in the en-
ploy of the Cass family at Sumner and
told her he had purchased a gun and
intended to end it I'll. He then babe
her goodbye and retired to his room,
where he shot himself thru the head.
The servant girl informed Mr.. Cass of
the mans intentions and he at once
endeavored to prevent contamination
Of the deed, by calling up the clerk and
informing him Of what was to take
place. The clerk Immediately went to
Jerome's ROOM broke the, door and
found him sitting In a chair holding the
still smoking revolver.
A letter was found addressed to Ruby
Van Metre, Grace Mount OKLAHOMA,
presumably a cousin of the suicide. A
telegram was sent to her apprising her
of the affair. Nothing further has
been learned Of the man, and an effort
is being put forth to locate his rela-
lives, the theory being they reside in or
near Chicago.
Sheriff Knapp received telegram
which said "Buny him at Waverly,"
from Miss Van Metre. No names of
other relatives Were given.

Cattle Higher TODAY
Advance Was Mostly in Light
Grades, With Steadiness in
Butcher Stuff
HOGS FIVE TO TEN HIGHER
Demand Was Good From All Glasses
of Buyers, Shippers Seeking Light
Stuff, Which Was scarce-Lack of
Demand for Sheep Did Not Affect
Prices NoticeabIy, Today.

Chicago, May 10.-Catte were
firm, closing 10000 higher for the
/ week, with good undertone. The
advance was mostly in light grades,
and butcher stuff was steady. There
was no marked activity today, as re-
ceipts were light and the demand
| meager.
Four>d days marketing Of 51,T00 this
week, we'll distributed as 1t has been,
has given general trade quite satisfac-
tory tone and the strength in prices
Monday and again Wednesday has put
values for medium steers mostly 10c
higher than week ago, while strictly
good, strong weight classes now show
mostly 15c gain over a week ago. Plain
and medium grades, however, have not
been materially changed from last
weeks level, altho tone of the trade
for these has still been fairly satisfac-
tory and decreased marketing Of such
kinds afforded packers unloading cool
ers Of the medium and lower cuts OF
! beef.
The run thus far in the week has
shown $500 decrease from a week ago.
and compared with two weeks ago a
decrease of $1,000 is noted. In face of
the smaller supply shippers and ex-
porters have purchased quite literally.
taking as many cattle as last week,
and this proportionately good call from
outside sources has gone a long way
toward strengthening the market for
medium to choice beeves.
Hogs were 500 higher. There was
good demand from all classes of buy
ers Shippers sought light stuff, but
there were few offerings.
Such big houses ais Armour and Swift
have switched from heavy to light
mixed. that grade showing the most
advance. Murray put the hog slaugh-
ter in the west during the past week
at $4,000, against 100000 a year ago
Since March, the same authority puts
the kill at these points at 4,770,000. or
100000 more than year ago. Pro-
visions were higher, good investment
demand appearing. Renorts of heavy
consumptive demand were an offset to
especially the recent heavy run Of
hogs.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady but slow. AS
receipts were light the lack of de-
mand did not affect prices to any ap-
probable extent.
Traders have been disappointed with
the market this week, considering sup
plies. Buyers claim that prevailing
prices are still too high and they have
been bearish daily. While they have
not gotten their supplies particularly
lower than late last week, they have
at least been successful in preventing
a boosting of values.

CHICAGO stockyards Notes.

Chicago Stockyards Notes.
Too many heavy hogs to the car In
warm weather is liable to cause loss
to the shipper In transit
More rough hogs taken out OF loads
and sold at a discount, as buyers dis
eliminated against them.
Moderate cattle receipts have given
general steer trade quite good tone this
week, and the Improvement In prices
has put the situation In much more
satisfactory shape than week ago.
The rather free outlet Thursday was
proof of the stability of Thursday de-
mand when arrivals are not Of excess
sive volume in previous days Of the
week.
\ Good quality 30O-lb hogs that have
been selling as butchers. and ought to
have been in the $6.45 notch, yesterday
were turned down. No matter what
quality weight carried, buyers frowned
at 1t.
Hot weather was factor also. Pack
ers had "hunch" that 1t meant ac-
tivity In corn fields, and this naturally
means temporary curtailment Of sup
ply.
warmer weather is noW starting pas
lures into better growth and should
tend to hold down marketing of COM
mon and light steers, while the fact
that cattle owners must soon get siren
uously busy planting corn also tends TO
strengthen belief in continued noder-
ate receipts, which should hold steer
values in good place.
Four year-old horses are selling off,
and it liz almost impossible to make
medium 4-year- olds bring anything
near country cost, and shippers are adj
vised not to ship any 4-year-olds at all
unless All extra good feeder.
