Mrs. Frank Harrington, living on

lily with the best of results. My hus-
band suffered greatly from kidney COM
plant for many years, and always com
planned Of his back hurting him with
a constant, dull pain and misery and a
weakness across his lions, and other
symptoms showed plainly that his
kidneys caused the complaint. StOop.
ing, Strengthening, getting in or out of
his chair, going up or down stairs, sud
den movements or a mis-step were al.
ways apt to bring acute twinges. His
father died with Bright's disease, con.
sequently we became very anxious over
his condition. We consulted doctors,
used their medicine, as we'll as other
advertised medicines, but nothing gave
my permanent relief. Seeing Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended, we
ent to drug store and got box, and
lsed them. They cured him completely
t the trouble. This was in 1908, and
It that time we made a statement for

Pruning Of Fruit Trees Discussed.

On January llth, Pruning of Fruit
Trees was the subject before Milford
Grange The discussion was opened by
John W. Short. He learned when bov
the old proverb. "Ihe way the twig is
bent the trees Inclined" and if you
know what you want, you can bring it
about by trimming the young tree. He
buys thirdciass peach trees instead of
tirst-class as it is easier to shape their
growth as desired. Prune the roots to
match the tops which should be cut to
from twelve to eighteen inches for low
headed trees. The next spring trim about
two-thirds of the new growth away.
Give the third pruning early in the fol-
lowing July; leaving the prongs on each |
branch, leaving tile sprouts on the inside |
and remove all that have a tendency to |
to grow down. Trim in similar way the
following year, cutting back foot or six
teen inches of the new growth and when
they come into bearing the trees open
out and the fruit gets plenty of air and
sun to color and mature it. Mr.. Short
follows about the same plan in trimming
young apple trees. Cherries need but
little trimming. All fruit should be
trimmed to open the center and give
plenty OF sun to ripen, Fall is a better
time than spring for setting out trees.
Mr.. Short uses pruning shears for all
branches up to one and one-half inches
in size and can do the work much faster
than with a saw.
B. F. B. Woodall thinks a great many
are too tender hearted making the mis-
take of not pruning young trees enough
of the fruit they may bear later.
He advocates the pruning knife and uses
no saw. If trees are severely trimmed
when Young they do not need so much
cutting when older and after they come
into bearing.
Charles Barker agrees with Mr.. Short !
IN choosing small tress to plant. He buys
second size and prefers the third size to
he first. Get well rooted but small trees b
md practice the shortening in plan the
irst year severely. He also cuts the 5
'oots being sure to remove any bruised =
cots. He thinks it more important to II
et small peach than apple trees as they A
row SO much more rapidly. =,

The shocking news that c. n. Mcneil,
formerly of Hammond, had committed
suicide in Chicago last night, was re-
uceived by wire in Hammond today and
created a profound sensation.
a special to the Times conveyed but
meagre details and said that Mr.. Mcneil
was found dead in bed at his rooming
house An Chicago.
The condition OF the body and smell
Of gas were such as to give the police
the belief that Mr.. Mcneil had COM
xnitted suicide.
The information that had been re-
ceived In this city was so meagre that
even the relatives, Mrs. j. r. williams
and Mrs. McEIfresh who are sIster-in-
laws of the deceased, knew only that he
was dead and knew nothing of the cir
cumsfances which surrounded his death.
G. ID. Mcneil was the husband of
Madam Mcneil, who was formerly the
proprtetress of the Elite Millinery in
the Hammond building. At present
Madam Mcneil is In Streator, I'LL, en-
pIcyed in the Carroll Millinery store.
Word of the death of her husband was
wired to her from Hammond this morn
ang.
Mr. C. B. Mcneil was at one time a
salesman I'm the Lion store in this city.
He was In the furniture department
but later resigned to take a position
with the Enterprise Furniture company
En Chicago.
Recently he has been a drummer and
lac was engaged In this business while
I'm Chicago. Mrs. J. F. Williams, who
is related to the deceased, said that he
was troubled with heart failure and
that it was possible he succumbed to
this disease while lying in bed In the
Vincennes avenue rOm1ng house.

CASES REPORTED
Mrs. j. K. Maigerson Tells
Police That Husband
is Gone.
FIFTEEN YEAR OLD MISSING
No News Has Been Received in Ham
mond at the Present Time of
Robert Boyle.

Hammond has become the Port of
Missing Men"
Within the past six months there
have been several mysterious disap-
pearances reported to the police in
Hammond.
The latest came to the station last
night in the shape of a telephone mes
sage from Mrs. ]. K. Maigerson, SIG
Cameron street
Declaring that her husband was to
have returned last night and that he
did not come home. Mrs. Maigerson ex-
pressed her fears that some dire fate
had befallen her husband.
She declares that he is exemplary in
his habits and has never been known
in all their married life, to absent
himself voluntarily.
Maigerson is a switchman and the
police are investigating his case. He
is SO years of age, light complexioned
and weight 165 pounds.
w. S. Anderson 13S Douglas street
called up the police this morning and
informed Desk Sergeant Charles See
that Chester Emery, lad of Is years
of age, who wears glasses, was miss
ing from his home. Mr.. Anderson be-
lieved that the lad had run away
though for what reason he was unable
to tell.
The Boyle mystery has not yet beer
cleared up and it presents all the
phases Of a genuine sensation. The
family of the man have few hopes Of
ever seeing him again.

FATALITY IS IN THE RAGE


BriarcIifEe. n. r., April 24.-Tsvo SER
iOus accidents occurred here early to-
day. I'm conncctfon with the big Brfar-
cIiffe cup auto race, one before the
start, in which the lives of several
women were imperfIed and a rich young
man fatally injured.
The other accident occurred at the
turn at East View, where an auto turn
ed complete sOmersault, severely In
juring two men and putting the car out
OF the race.
Washington Irving Fitzpatrick, SON
of wealthy resident of Irvington, n.
", is said TO be dying. Before the
start Mt 5;O7 a. m. he was rushing to
the aid of several young men and wo-
men who were in danger from the ex-
pIosiOn of an automobile lamp. Kill
patrfck's leg was broken and he sus-
tanned internal injuries. He was taken
to East View hospital, near the course,
and attended by physicians there.
Pilot Lamps Explode.
The pilot lamps of an automobile, in
which was seated the party of Charles
UhersOn of YOnkers, exploded just as
Fitzpatrick passed in front of it. One
of the young women in the car scream
ed and Fitzpatrick thought some one
was badly hurt. In the darkness he
dashed forward to render what assist
ance he could, and slipping, fell heavily
TO the ground and was picked up un-
conscious.

MAY BE CHARGED
WITH SERIOUS CRIME.
Hammond Girl Dies After Young Man
Has Been Arrested Responsible
For Her Condition.

The sad story of "One more unfOrt-
unatc'' who loved not wisely but too
well, had tragic climax early this
morning when young mother and the
offspring of her Illicit love died just
before the grey dawn broke.
There had been an arrest made in the
case yesterday afternoon the alleged
father of the pitifuI little way-farer,
which fortunately for it died "a
bOrning." being hailed into court on a
warrant issued in Justice Prest's court.
The young man who denied an &c
quaintance with the wronged girl, and
who is exceedingly weIl-cOnnected in
Hammond, was later released on bail,
his bonds being fixed at $500.
The death of the girl, who it is said
had a respectable mother, complexities
the situation and makes IT even more
grave Serious complications are liable
to result for somebody if the case -
prosecuted as vigorously as the friends
of the girl promise 1T will be.
