CHARLES BEECHER INJURED.

CHARLES BEECHER INJURED.
 Charles'Beecher, the Beaver street groceryman, who on New Years day met with very serious accident at his home on Milwaukee avenue by falling down his cellar stairs, breaking one of his knee caps very badly, and was talk en to the Danbury hospital for treat ment and although the fracture was a bad one, is improving slowly and hopes soon to be able to return to his home here, but it will be some time before he is able to get about much. Just how the accident occurred Mir Beecher does not seem to know. It was about 10 o'clock in the evening and he was going down cellar to fix his furnace for the night when in some way he made a mis-step and fell, hit ting the knee cap and breaking it. The lamp he had in his hand was broken but as the lamp fell into tub of water it was put out and Mir Beecher was able to put out the remainder of the blaze before it had set fire to anything, which was very fortunate, or the accident might have proved much more dis astrous one. When MT Beecher tried to rise he found he could not and called to his people to come and assist hin and he had to be taken up stairs. A doctor was called and when he saw how serious the break was thought best to take him to the hospital as soon as possible which was done tht next morning.

DIR. KENNEDY'S fAv0RITE
 REMEDY
Breaks no Hearts, Excuses
 no Crimes,

Dr. David Kennedy's FAVORITE REM- EDY is not a disguised enemy of the human race; where it cannot help, it does not harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre- dients and does not heat or infame the blood but cools and purifes it. In all cases of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con- stipation of the Bowels, and the delicate Arrangements which afflict women, the &C., tion of Dr. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM- EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of grateful people voluntarily testify to this. in letters to Dr. Kennedy; and with a warmth and fullness of words which mere business certificates never possess. It makes no drlnkards-excuses no crimes breaks no hearts. We challenge a trial and are confident of the result. ONE DOLLAR Bottle. All druggists. Bear in mind tho name and address: Dr. Ddrid KENNEDY, Rondout, New York. Write for free sam- pie bottle and medical booklet full of valu- able medical advice. Mention this paper,.

 U to you about the in-

T AM 8oin8 to prove J to you about the in-
 vestment business as generally conducted today, the following facts
 First-That the people who are selling legitimate investments are devotlnB their entire energies to selling them to people who, in the aggregate at the present time, have the least money to invest, instead of those, who, at the present time, in the aggregate have the most money to invest. Second-That the people who arc selling legitimate investment securities today, are not offering the kind of securities that are most suitable and attractive to those, who, at the present time, in the aggregate have the most money 10 invest.
 Third-Why 1t is that so mary people nowadays, have the iE:- preSsion that securities that pay 6 per cent. are net safe. Fourth-What are the kind of securities, that, at the present time, return the highest rate of interest consistent with absolute safety of principal.
 Fiith-That there is just as good an opportunity today for the small as well as the large in- vestor to invest his surplus earn inSs in safe securities that will net 6 per cent, as there ever has been in the history of this country.

GENERAL HORNE ON TRIAL
Kansas City Editor who shot n. =,
Graves, and o. ID, woodward
Charged with Murder.

KANSAS CITY. March 1S.-The trial Of
Richard c. Horne former vice president
OF the Kansas City Post Publishing COM
pany, charged with the murder Of II, j..
Groves, managing editor of that paper, was
resumed in the criminal court here today.
Much difficulty was experienced in the
selection OF a jury owing to the general
publicity which has been given the case
and the prominence Of the principals.
General Horne is one of the oldest and
best known newspaper men in Missouri.
He was a member of the staff of Governor
William ]. Stone.
Louis c. Boyle. formerly attorney gem
eral of Kansas, leading counsel for Cen
eral Horne, in outlining the case Of the
defense said the defendant had not been
treated fairly by o. d. Woodward presi-
dent of the company that publishes the
Post. Woodward also is a wen known
theatrical man formerly OF Omaha. He
was shot three times by Horne at the time
that Groves was shot, but had sufficiently
recovered to appear as a witness today.
Attorney Boyle said that General Horne s
mind had shown evidence of weakness at
Marshall, Mo-, over two years ago. owing
to business reverses. About that time
Woodward had asked him to be editor-n-
that time was $1,000 insurance from his
home that was burned, and he put it into
the stock Of the Post company. Then the
paper, Boyle said, had deserted the demo-
cratic party. 1t was against Hornes ad-
vice, and it worked upon the latter's mind.
He was told by reliable persons said
Boyle, that Woodward had sold out the
Post for 5000 and put the money in his
own pocket. Horne was told by presum-
ably reliable men that he would not get a
square deal and finally he was told by
Woodward and his associates to get out
Horne's position on the paper was a non
entity. He thought his honor had been
tainted. He felt that he should have 10
go back to Marshall practically disgraced
Attorney Boyle told how General Horne
on the day of the shooting had purchased
revolver and gone TO the Post office
! taking his accustomed seat at his desk
Horne saw and heard Woodward whisper
! ing to Groves and moment later wher
| Woodward came out of Groves office
Horne shot him. While he was shooting
Woodward, whom he blamed for most OF
| his troubles, Groves appeared and Horne
shot him also.
o. d. Woodward was one of the first wit.
nesses called. He denied that he had tried
to get Horne to take stock in the paper
apd said that Mr.. Booker, then business
manager, had carried on all business rela.
tions with Horne.
Horne be $1,000 stock" said Wood
ward in reply to question, land became
