Selma, Special.-After two pre-
vious attempts at sslf-destrucsIoB,
Ransom Goodwin, who on the night of
August 9Th, last, shot bis wife In a
NEST brutal and eoId-blooded manner,
shot himself Tuesday morning
through the heart with a gun, death
following instantly, the scene of the
deed being the woods about half
nile from bis home. The coroner
held an inquest over the dead body,
after which il was inferred by rela-
,iyes. Goodwin lad been hunted b.
officers since the night OF his dia-
ko.i"al deed in August, but had eff
feetually eluded capture, staying IN
Ire dense woods in the vicinity of his
home all the time, it is believed, and
being in communication with his son.
Once when officers were hos on bis
trail he tried to end his existence
with his gun, but the attempt was a
failure. 4 second time, when lie
learned that the governor had offered
4 reward Of 500 for bis capture, he
made an effort at suicide by cutting
MS throat, but this attempt also did
cot result In death.
The cold weather coming on and
the old man being unable longer TO
lead sylvan existence, he deliber-
atcly set about planning third eff
fort to put himself out of this world.
Some weeks ago a lawyer visited him
and papers disposing of what prop
crty lie had-not very great amount
were drawn up. This having been
done in good shape, he told his SOB
where to look later for his
lead body, and at the place desig-
lated II was found.
Goodwin was in his 10th year and
was in good health and sound mind.
Tie stern hand Of the law was too
much for him to go up against, and
he chose rather to die by his own
land than face the bar OF Justice
Is he would have had to do in a short
time had he not used his gun with
fatal results.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-11-01

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is produced in the human body, and 1t IS the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood. and to pass it safely out of the system, together with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of an excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering. and So many of the aches that are commonly at- tributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are bean-sbaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secre- tiOns into a main channel that leads to the bladder. Tn this way the kid- neys pass of more than an ounce of poison every day when in health
 But it does not take much 10 set the Kidneys back. and when they get behind. they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid beglns 10 clog the kidneys. causing that dull heavy aching in the back and sharp twinges when stopping or lifting IL crystalizes in the muscles and joints and every turn or twist brings keen est torture.

Thomas Mil- fer. friend of mine boarding 1t this house. was all broken up on account Of his back paining him. He was weak in the loins and so badly troubl- ed that he was hOmesick. He had as bad a case of kidney trouble and backache as I ever saw. I told him about Deans Kidney Pills and asked him to send to H. W. Lake Drug Company for a box He began taking them and in a few days was back at work His hack is as strong as ever now A number of cases have come to my notice where Deans Kidney Pills have cured people of kidney con- plaint and backache- look upon them as a certain cure.
