Our physical machinery seems
to get "out of gear" and suffers
from debility, weakness, nervous

is not refreshing, there is a con-

not feel equal to performing the
ordinary duties of daily life.
When the system is in this dis

assistance; il must be aided with a
tonic, and il should be a medicine
which has the additional qualities
of a first-class blood purifier, for TO
restore health the blood must be
cleansed of all impurities.

GET LIFE SENTENCE
Story of the Staying of Thorn
ton Is Told by Convicted
Man for the First Time and
Differs From Others.

AS Sherman Keller heard man after
man declare in answer to questions re-
garding his fitness to serve as a juror
that he did not oppose capital punish
ment, his face twitched and the enor-
nifty of the crime of murder dawned
upon him. But he had entered a plea
of not guilty to the charge of shooting
Ben William Thornton and fatally
wounding him, several weeks before,
so he determined to be resolute in his
position. The jury was selected
twelve men each sworn to send Keller
to the gallows, if he believed the law
and evidence justified but the ac-
cused retained hope. He went to the
Jail for dinner and soon afterward the
afternoon session OF his trial was on.
He heard the states witnesses tell
their stories and then he realized how
small his chances for life really were.
He weakened and informed his attor-
ney he wished the trial to stop and he
would enter plea of guilty. The
court was Informed at the recess and
Keller's offer accepted. He admitted
the murder and was sentenced to life
Imprisonment by Judge Fox. He will
be taken to Michigan City, Friday.
Previous to his sudden change of
mind, Keller had refused to plead
guilty. He was charged with murder
in the first degree. He claimed self
defense, but quailed at the last and
weakening, refused to entrust the jury
with his story. He had heard each
man of the twelve answer the ques-
tions of the court and he was afraid
He was afraid because life is sweet to
young man of but twenty-one years
of age, although the longest part of
that life may be lived behind prison
walls and unless a sympathetic gov
ernor bestows a pardon, death will
ensue amid the same environment.
Third to Get Sentence.
Keller will be the third man serving
sentence at the Michigan City peni-
tentiary for life The others are
John Knapp and Alonzo Fisher
Knapp murdered Lennie Geisler, the
Hagerstown Marshal, and Fisher shot
and fatally wounded his wife, at the
corner of Main and Eighth streets in
this city. Both Fisher and Keller are
colored. Fisher, like Keller, was an
advocate of free love. He was beau
brummel among his class, but was
jealous of his wife and charged her
with shortcomings customary to him
self. Keller shot and killed man
with whose wife he had had too init
mate relations. and as the result of
the i'll feeling that developed as a con-
sequence.

TARIFF ON STEEL
Is NOW TOO HIGH
Manufacturers Bring Pressure
To Bear Upon Con-
gressmen.
RATES WORK HARDSHIP
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LOST
ANNUALLY BY LOCAL MANU-
FEATURING INSTITUTIONS BE-
CAUSE OF TRUSTS ACTION.

Local manufacturers are using all
their influence to secure a reduction
of the tariff rate on steel. Congress-
man Crumpacker and Congressman
elect Barnard have been asked to as
sist in securing this reduction and
each of them have informed the manu-
facturers that they are in sympathy
with the movement for a general re-
duction of tariff rates on nearly every
class of articles.
Congressman Watson has not been
appealed to by the local manufacture
ers. because his term of service ends
with the adjournment of the present
congress and it is the general under
standing that the tariff question will
be left for the next congress, which
assemblies March 4 next year, to han
die.
Nearly every manufacturing concern
in the city has suffered from the high
tariff on steel, under which the steel
corporation has thrived. A local
manufacturer stated today: When the
high tariff rate on steel was made it
was for the interests of such manufac-
turing concerns as located in Rich
mond. The steel corporation in those
days was not in existence and there
was competition for that material.
Then the high tariff rate on steel was
to our advantage. Now. all the inde-
pendent steel manufacturing concerns
concerns have been merged into the gil
ant steel trust. which has destroyed
competition and. through the protec-
tion extended by the tariff, raised the
price on steel to an exorbitant fig
ure"
Higher Prices Inevitable.
S. E. Swayne, of the Robinson &
Company machine works, stated today
that unless the tariff rates on steel
was reduced, the manufacturers of this
city must greatly increase the price of
their products or sell their products at
rate which would not warrant the
continuation of business.
1t is stated that one of the largest
manufacturing concerns in the city an

Yesterday morning, Mr.. Parker said
that he and Skinner, who is a guest at

after they had thoroughly digested

he believed he was too tired and sleepy

as though there was no such things on
earth as whitecaps, tar and feathers.
Mr. Parker did sentinel duty until
about 1890, then he became wearied
of the game and followed the example
set by Skinner. BY midnight the
hotel was as quiet as a grave and "all

RICHMOND WOMEN INTERESTED
IN SALE STATE THAT THIS
CITY WILL GET ALL THAT ARE
NEEDED-READY SALE.

This morning the ladies of the At
termath, Athenaea and Domestic
Science clubs placed $500 more Red
Cross Christmas stamps on sale at
the three local newspaper offices,
the G. H. Knollenberg store, Prices
confectionery and the Ross drug store.
The receipt of these stamps was
unexpected for, owing to delays in
printing them at Washington, it was
thought that Indiana would not get
any more of the little stickers. How
ever, conditions at Washington have
been remedied and the Indianapolis
headquarters of the Red Cross society
have notified Mrs. \. c. Heironimus
that Richmond may now have all the
stamps that are desired.
Mrs. Heironimus thinks that the
$500 stamps now offered for sale
will be disposed of within the next
two or three days and that before
Christmas day at least 10000 more
stamps can be disposed Of.
The purchase of one of these at
tractive looking little stickers means
that you are interested and desire to
lend hand in the great campaign
the Red Cross society is planning to
wage against the curse of humanity
This great organiZa-
tion has for years done great service
on bloody battle fields, giving aid to
the wounded, but these services on
stricken fields of carnage pales into
insignifigence compared to the great
work the society is now engaged in,
and American people are showing that
they are heartily in sympathy with
the work by purchasing millions of
the little Christmas stamps.
