Bloomington. IL. Feb. 2S.-Central Hi
nois was stirred TO "a high degree Of ex-
citemcnt to-day by a quadruple murder
committed by Thomas Baldwin. a wealthy
business man Of Colfax, Eastern Mclean

Mrs. Eiseman and the girls father and
the Kennedys were witnesses before the
grand Jury. Baldwin came into the cir
cult court last week and gave bond in the
sum Of 5000 for his appearance when
his case was called for trial.
Seeks Revenge.
This morning he evidently determined
to be revenged upon everybody connected
with his prosecution. for he drove from
Colfax to Arrowsmith In buggy, and
went to the homes of his Victims. Al
the Kennedy home he blew out the brains
of the Kennedys. He expected TO find
the Eiseman girl there. in all probability,
as she had been staying some of the time
with the Kennedys. who are relatives.
Bus as she was not there he first killed
the young couple and then went to the
Eiseman home, where he shot down the
fourteen-year-old girl.
Baldwin went TO the Eiseman house, and
the mother nd Cora saw him coming.
They locked the door. fearing trouble.
Mrs. Eiseman finally persuaded her chill
dren that it would be polite 10 open the
door. She believed that she could pacify
Baldwin and invited him 10 enter. As
soon as the door was opened Baldwin
told Mrs EisemaB that if she moved be
wouhl kill her on the spot. The mother
and daughter started to run. Calling
with curses for them to stop, Baldwin
overlook the mother and fired two bull
lets into her breast. and she dropped.
Sister Escapes.
With pistols in both hands, Baldwin
started after Cora Eiseman The girl
erred for mercy. but he shot her dead.
The girl was crawling through hedge
when Baldwin fred the fatal shot. A
sister of the girl who witnessed the
affair, was apparently overlooked.
Baldwin made no effort to escape. He
was soon in the custody Os a deputy
sheriff. who took him to the county Jail
An enormous crowd assembled at the jail,
bat no demonstration was made. No
statement was made by Jhe prisoner. His
wife is dead, but he has two married
daughters and a son.
The settlement of the assault case by
payment of 500 got TO the ears Of the
States attorney, Bach. He subpOenaed
al the relatives to appear before the
grand jury, which returned an indict-
ment against Baldwin.

WHY WOMEN SUFFER

Women have so much to go through
in life that it is a pity there is 50 much
needless suffering from backachc,
headache, dizziness, languor and other
common aches and ills Of kidney COM
plant.
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought
new life and strength to thousands of
women afflicted in this way.
Women are prone to kidney trouble.
They have so much indoor work to
do. SO much lifting, bending and stoop-
ing: they are bound by custom to tight,
heavy clothing. They get little out
door exercise. and any little cold may
bring on kidney weakness.
Don't worry if you feel tired and
dragged outfit you have backache
and bearing-down pain, headache, dir
zy spells. faintness and lack ambition.
Don't think it's some trouble peculiar
to the sex. Men suffer in the same
way when they have kidney trouble.
Ask yourself this question: Are my
kidneys well?" The condition of the
kidney secretions may give you an
answer. If there is a brick-dust sedi-
ment, or a stringy settling in the urine;
II passages are too frequent and copious,
or scanty and painful it is time to
begin using Doan's Kidney Pills. Delay

BUCHTEL POWERLESS.
CoIoradO's Governor Tells Why He
Cannot Stop the Fight.

Denver, Col, May Ex-Governor
Henry A. Buchtel. answering articles
in the public press and personal let
tiers addressed to him, yesterday is
sued an address to the public explain
ing why he is powerless to act in pre-
venting the prize fight scheduled to
take place here tonight between
Harry Lewis and Jimmy Gardner. The
governor says that the adoption of a.
new charter for Denver which took
from the governor the appointment of
the fire and police board deprived
the chief executive of the power to
coerce the city officials and unless
they are willing to act of their own
accord he can not compel them to.
incidentally the governor names
three conditions as curses to our civil
ization, namely. the open saloon, the
prize fight and the so-called yellow
newspaper. He also states that Ger
tain of the latter have likened his
powers to those of Governor Folk of
Missouri, but says the comparison is
unfair since Governor Folk has GER
tain powers in the cities of Missouri
through his control of the fire and
police boards, which do not accrue to
the governor of Colorado
