HERE'S A WORTHY
OBJECT OF CHARITY;
WOMAN In NEED

The Daily News learns through Dr..
j. D. Donald, that there is a worthy
object for the Christian charity OF Hat
tiesburgans in the city,
It seems that a worthy woman who
is resident here has been i'll for
long time and that the Kings Daugh,
tiers have taken her burdens on their
shoulders until they can bear no more.
They are not financially able to do
more for her.
DR.. Donald asks that those who ore,
charitably disposed to aid one who is
worthy Of help to send their contribu-
tons to the Kings Daughters who will
see that the money is well spent.
Any information desired as to the
woman can be had by calling either
DR.. Donald or DR.. Turner, or by asking
for It Of any member Of the Kings
Daughters.
| Christian charity should impel those
blessed with an abundance to aid in
a cause like this rather than 10 send
money to the heather.

DEAD BODY OF
MURDERED WIFE


Chicago, July lit leaked out to-
day that an attempt was made to steal

now being brought back here from San.

charged with his first wife's murder.
The attempt was frustrated by the Of
ficers.
The police is working on the theory
that the attempt to steal the body was
made by Magill's friends to forestall
an examination Of the stomach to de-
termine whether or not she died from
chloroform self-administered or from
other causes.
1t is also suggested that the attempt
might have been made by MagilPs en-
emies.
Citizens saw ghosts moving about
the cemetery and notified the district
attorney who doubled the guard about
the grave.

him, In the present instance, to assume

A glance toward the alcove convinced
Mr. Garlin that he had indeed acted

from the parted curtains was held with
disconcerting steadiness, and above and
