GIRL DIES SUDDENLY OF
LEAKAGE OF THE HEART
Awoke in Night With Peculiar Sen.
sation-Died in Few Minutes.

Within FIVE minutes after she awak-
ened her mother early Friday to tell
of peculiar sensation that had come
over her, Miss Violetta Bowen of
Warsaw, aged sixteen, passed away
from leakage of the heart. 1t is one
of the most peculiar cases that has
ever come to the attention of War
saw physicians. A post mortem ex-
animation developed that minute
sharp instrument, resembling the
point OF a needle had entered her
heart through the arteries. Frequent
ly during the past few months Miss
Bowen complained of piercing sem
sations-hrst in her hand, then in
her forearm, next in the shoulder,
and finally in the cLest. 1t is be-
lieved that the point OF needle en-
tered her hand and travelled all the
way to the heart Miss Bowen came
to Warsaw from Denver two weeks
ago with her mother, Mrs Tressie
Walden.

The negroes were members of a

Mr.. Marks Experience.

George Marks attended the COM
mencement at Valparaiso university
Wedne sday evening. He says that
along with 600 others he sat in a
crowded room from $50 until 1890
There was no ventilation, and the
crowd was jammed together so tight
ly that he could not escape-in fact
he could not even raise an arm, or
shout for help. When the crowd left
he was carried along out with it. Next
morning Mr. Marks said he had lost
~ pounds, he can't even spit, and
had not been able to collect his
thoughts enough to sell key ei
nails all day.

Pitches With Baby DYING.

Pitching one of the greatest games
of his life, with the vision of his
baby's dying face before him every
moment, George Bell, of the Brook
lyn team, shut out Pittsburg FRIDAY
A moment later he broke down in the
dressing room and sobbed like a child
Brace up, old man. I've got a
bunch that the baby is going to live. "
said Manager Patsy Donovan, in an
effort to- comfort Bell. "You go home
now and remember that we're all
pulling for the baby
The next train to Knoxville, Pa,
carried a big athletic looking man
who sat downcast. 1t was Bell, hur-
rylng to the bedside OF his baby. A
telegram received a short time be-
fore the game informed him that the
little one was not expected TO live.
He had been selected by Donovan to
pitch the game and had set his heart
on winning.
"f'll pitch the game" he said quiet
ly to Donovan And though in his
distracted mind he seemed to see a
procession of little white hearses
around the field and a constant fut,
tering of band of white ribbon, he
won a glorious game.

Deafness Cannon be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only on way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by all
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

jails and penitentiaries and thereby
saddles an expense upon the taxpay-

weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious

learned that DR.. Pierce's medicines con-
