 The building. which formerly stood at POT Hermitage avenue, in rear of the factory where Luetgert is said to have disposed of the remains of his wife in the sausage making vats has been moved to Diversey Boule- yard, near Paulina street. by August Blain, it's purchaser.

ESCAPED BEING KILLED

Big Walnut Tree Fell on Cor
neIiuS RatIiff,
WAS STRUCK BY A LIMB.

Cornelius Ratliff had a miraculous
escape from being killed while at work
on his timber land near Thistle
thwaite's pond Tuesday morning. Mr..
Ratliff with John A Stein was cutting
a large walnut tree 21a feet in diane
ter. Mr. Ratliff was saving the tree
and Mr.. Stein was guiding its fall In
stead of the tree falling in the direc-
ton intended, it fell just the opposite
and Mr. Ratliff was caught before he
could get out of its way He was
struck by a limb and knocked to the
ground
The trunk of the tree did not hit
Mr.. Ratliff missing his face, however
only a few inches. An elevation in
the ground on which the tree rested in
falling, is all that saved Mr.. Ratliff
from getting the full force of it. His
corduroy cap saved him from serious
injury when the branch of the tree
struck him.

Druggist Takes
His Own Medicine

The man who sells remedies for most
of the human ills, and hears day after day
the opinions of people who have used
these remedies, naturally comes to know
the superior from the inferior, and
when the time comes that he has to de-
eide on which remedy he will take, he
of course selects the one he has heard
the most praise of. His own opinion,
coupled with that of his customers,
the remedy the druggist selects is the best in
the field.

MOnOtOny Leads
To INSANITY

Too much excitement-too much mo-
Eotony. Both these extremes are fatal
to the nervous system.

city life.
But what leads to the paralysis, the
locomotor ataxia and the insanity which
comes frequently to the farmer or his
wife living I'm rural sections, or to per-
sons who work with machinery? It is
the monotony.
Whatever your circumstances. II Is
wise to be alert for symptoms which
denote exhausted nerves, headache and
Indigestion, irritability OF temper and
weakness OF body and mind. and to be-
gin at once the use Of DR.. A. w. Chase's

one of the best bits of comic opera
character of modern times, has part
in D>>ffolf Hopper's new comic opera
