Troy, n. y, July 2l.-Fragments of

worked up to short time before her
body was found in Tca's pond, care.
fully put together by the authorities,
indicate that the murdered girl had a
number OF correspondents. One of them
is said TO have been an employee of the
New York Central railroad. Detectives
are seeking him.
District Attorney 0'Brien declines to
make public the contents OF the letters.
A club found on the shore OF the
pond has been submitted to the authori.
ties with the suggestion that it may
have been the weapon with which Miss
Drew was killed.
There is a story here to-day that
Hazel often met a Pullman car conduc.
tor whose run was between Syracuse and
New York. He lives in Manhattan. and
detectives have. been sent to find him
and get the full story of his friendship
for the girl. While he is not suspected
of the murder, it is believed that he
can throw much light on the past life
OF the girl that will help to trace her
on the day of the tragedy,
and perhaps develop a motive for the
crime.

Police Search Whole Country
For Youth Last With Women
LURED FROM AUSTRIA
Not at His Fathers Home-Deteetiye
Told Of the Threats Made Against
Suitor Of the Victims
Daughter.

New York, July .eo.--The tale of a
crime so revolving and cunning as TO
be almost unbelievable has been dis
closed by investigation into the case Of
Mrs. 0ttillie Eberhard, well.to.do Vi
enese widow, whose body was found on
the railroad track in lonely section of
Hackensaek, n. j., early Sunday. AT
first it was believed that the woman
had been struck by a train and killed.
Subsequent investigation, however, re.
vealed that she had been murdered and
her body placed upon the track in an
effort to destroy the traces of the crime.
As a result, the police are searching for
August Eberhard the dead woman's
nephew, who had importuned Mrs. Ebers
hard to come TO this country and TO
bring her little fortune of $1,000 and
her twenty-year old daughter, whom
August promised TO marry. The young
woman herself, however, refuses TO be-
lieve that August had any part in the
tragic death OF her mother. But Detec-
tives have gone to the home Of the
mans parents, who live on farm near
Duchess junction, n. Y, and the search
for him is being vigorously prosecuted.

INSANITY rs A BLOOD DISEASE.

Insanity is not disease of the

son, in the July Eyerybody's because
no anatomical investigation, micros-
copic or otherwise, can show the least
difference between either brain cell or
fiber Of person dying insane and the
healthy brain of one killed in an ac-
cident. But the sane absence of brain
changes is noticeable in whole class
Of important chronic nervous diseases,
such as migraine, neurastheaia, hys-

portance of these nervous diseases.
Insanity alone is serious enough.
When that dread specter appears.
there is no getting used to it. Years
Of familiarity with it, both in private
and in official relations, do not lessen
my recoii from the spectacle of per-

it is facts connected with these blood
which awaken the hope that we may
find elsewhere than in the brain the.

HUMAN MONSTERS.
psssnerates Who Have Revsled In
Deeds of Blood.

Dessnerates Who Have Reveled In
Deeds of Blood.
No country Is free from nightmare
creatures, twisted natures apparently
born without the slightest respect for
human life. Some, indeed, seem ac-
tually to take horrible delight In the
destruction OF their fellow creatures.
Such one was Alfred Knapp, execut-
ed at Hamilton, o., In August. 1908,
for the murder OF his wife and four
other women. After his conviction
and when be saw that no hope OF life
remained he coolly admitted that he
had been a stranger for years, pounc-
ing on little children. throttling them
to death and hiding their bodies.
The human mole" was German
degenerate whose horrible crimes
shocked not only Germany, but the
whole world. Johann Bobbe was his
name, Though thin and weak looking.
his hands and arms were abnormally
developed. and his finger nails were
simply claws Without any other tools
than bis hands he could burrow into
the solid earth.
He had a little tobacco shop In
back street in Berlin, and here he ex-
cavated a deep pit under the floor and
arranged a trapdoor over 1t. AT the
bottom Of the pit was huge iron
spike. He would decoy bis victims
on to this trap and huri them down to
be lmpaled on the spike below.
No one knows the full tale of bis vic
tins. A deep pit was found In the
yard adjacent, which was half full OF
moldering human remains. Among
others was Bobbes own wife.
Another German criminal of sim
liar type was the schoolteacher Muel-
Ter, who was arrested on suspicion of
murder at Duernburg, near Rayreuth.
Evidence against him was only cir
and 1t seemed that he
might escape till the magistrate had
the remains OF a widow. who was sup
posed TO be victim of his, dug up,
and Mueller was confronted with them.
Then be broke down aud confessed to
a string of murders extending over
period Of eight years. The details were
so terrible that the court was cleared,

HANNIBAL HAMlIN.


How He Won the Title 1.-THE cartha-
gilman Of Maine"
Among the many stories of Hannibal
Hamlin's early experiences in the
Maine legislature none is more animat-
ed than his tilt with John Holmes, in
teresting, besides, because 1t gives the
origin of "the Carthaginlan OF Maine"
a name that stuck to Hamlin through
life. Holmes had been in the United
States senate. and at this particular
time, wrote General Hamlin, a member
of the state house Of representatives,
was endeavoring to domineer over 1t.
Hamlin disputed the leadership with
him, and Holmes attempted to crush
his young opponent by coarsely rldicul-
ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly
Hamlin jumped to his feet and. point
Ing his finger at Holmes, retorted: III
the gentleman chooses to find fault
with me for my complexion, what has
he to say about himself? take my
complexion from nature He gets his
from the brandy bottle. Which is
more honorable?' This retort was
greeted with great applause and cries
of 30 onr'
Hamiin then continued, pointing his
finger at Holmes: Il will also tell the
member from Alfred that he is more
conspicuous for trying to run dryshod
over young men than for trying TO en-
courage them. But as long as they
are true to themselves and to nature
and as long rs the member from Al
fred sticks to the brandy bottle they
need not fear him" AS soon as the
cheers Of the house could be sufficient

words and made manly apology

LYDIA E. PINKHKM

No other medicine for Woman's
ills i'm the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-.
dorsement as has Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such a
record of success for woman's dis.
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30years 1t has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
Ithas relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. II dissolves
and expels tumors in an early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains,
Weakness Of the Stomach, Indiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostitution,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield TO it; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
1t removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, "don't care 'and
"want to be left alone" feeling,
exoitability, irritability, nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplsssness,
fiatulency, melancholy the "blues."
These are indications of Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
of the Kidneys of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
