ASKED FOR MONEY
HUSBAND SHOT HER
Wanted Enough to Pay Rail-
fare to Go to Her
Affinity.
BROWN HAS CONFESSED.

New York, Jan. 9.-Walter Hurt,
under arrest in Yonkers on a charge Of
killing his wife, admits his crime and
justifies himself in this fashion:
What could any man do under the
circumstances? She told me she was
going to leave me for another man
and asked me for money to pay her
railroad fare. Then l shot her and l
intended to kill her"
Hurt and his wife, who were mar
ried nine years ago, ran boarding
house at No. 40 Woodwork avenue. A
man named George Brown entered
their establishment as a boarder a few
months ago. He might be term.
ed, in comparison with the other
boarders. a dashing teamster.
Brown won the affections of his
landlady. Hurt found it out after
everybody else in the house knew all
about it, and Brown, the dashing team
ster, packed his telescope valise and
did not stop until he had secured a job
in South Carolina.

wish to say a word in behalf of the
Nomans Relief Corps We do not
usually sound our deeds of the past or
plans for the future from the house

order demands some publicity of the
facts.
The WOman's Relief Corps is not a
beneficiary organization as many sup
pose. but wholly charitable one. Out
Of almost 800 members that we have
had on our rolls from time to time, less
than a dozen have ever been assisted
and those only in times Of sickness.
During the fiscal year just closed we
paid out for relief S1JJ.75 This was
relief other than money represented by
clothing and provisions. In addition
10 this we spent $50 in flowers for the
sick, S22.IJ in a memorial to the dead.

There is another department of our
work which is not concerned with
Alms-giving, for while we try to lift the
dark curtain and admit rays of sun
shine into sad homes, we also try to
teach and exemplify patriotism and
love Of flag and country and to instil
in the minds of the rising generation
what is meant by the Grand Army of
the Republic. and how much is due in
honor and debt to the Boys who wore

the local corps has presented. through
the state department. a flag to some
high school in Indiana. For long
time our local corps tried to introduce
the flag salute in the public schools of
Richmond, but We were snubbed by the
superintendent and our efforts baffled
although the Woman's Relief corps is
the organization that inaugurated this
practice and introduced it throughout
the nation. 1t has since been copied
by ether organizations.
The public is entitled to know these
facts about the work and aim of the
Woman's Relief Corps, an organization
which is taking care of the worthy
needy and trying TO make better citi-
kens OF the rising generation.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of Coffee Heart

The injurious action Of coffee on the
heart Of many persons is we'll known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up coffee
as that was the principal cause of the
trouble She writes:
My heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have TO carry me
from the table. and it would seem that
would never breathe again.
The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart He
said l must stop it, but it seemed
could not give it up until was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks l lay there and
suffered. Finally husband brought
home some Postum and I quit coffee
and started new and right Slowly
got well. Now | do not have any
headaches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know it is Postum that

McCurdy Wins in the Circuit Court.

The decision of Judge Wisner in the
case of John T. McCurdy VS.. the county
of Shiawassee was filed with County
Clerk Martin on Friday evening last
and is in favor of MIR. McCurdy. The
opinion of Judge Wisner is published
in full herewith and we feel cert ain it
will be read with considerable care.
Prosecuting Attorney Hicks has already
taken steps to prepare the case for the
supreme court and it will be taken
there just as soon as the preliminary
steps can be taken. Thus before fall
the first of the suits in connection with
the county Indebtedness ought to be
finally disposed of.
For more than twenty years last
past it has been the habit and custom
of Shiawassee county to borrow mon
ey from time to time as in the case at
bar; said moneys. being received and
used by the county in the payment of
| its ordinary expenses and previous to
the date of the notes mentioned in
the declaration herein no question
| has ever been raised as to the validi-
/ ty of such loans. The moneys realiz-
ed from such loans with interest
thereon, have been repaid by the
county from time to time as the same
matured. The proceedings of the
Lard Of supervisors were from time
to time duly published as the law re-
quires. The plaintiff had knowledge
of the facts aforesaid at the time he
made the loans represented by the
notes herein mentioned and he, as
did also the county, acted in the un-
most good faith in the transactions.
Since the notes in the case at bar
| became due, the question of issuing
bonds for the purpose of paying the
! floating Indebtedness of Shiawassee
county, including the amount involv-
ed in this case, has three times been
submitted to the electors of said coun-
ty, and on each of said occasion the
proposition has been lost
At regular meeting of the board
| of supervisors, held at the court
house of said Shiawassee county,
April 10th, 1900, a quorum of said
board being present, Supervisor Nor
rice offered the following resolution
and moved it's adoption:
Whereas, 1t is believed that the
occasion may arise whereby it may
be necessary TO borrow money to meet
the ordinary expenses of this county.
be 1t therefore resolved by the board
of supervisors of Shiawassee. county
that the treasurer of said county be
! authorized to borrow from time to
