Was Gone Six Weeks.

The relatives of the murdered Wo-
man stated this morning that she had
been gone from Keokuk six weeks.
The police of Brookfield state how
ever. that she had been in that city
for only two days Where she was
before going to Brookfield, the other
five or six weeks is not known, though
1T is probable that she stopped off at
Hannibal, Brookfield being on the
Hannibal and ST. Joe division, lo4
miles west of Hannibal, being town
of little over five thousand inhabi-
tants.
While Mrs Roberts was in this city
little was known of her, she having
no police record and being colored
citizen of whom little was known.
One child about two years old sur
wives her and has been living with his
grandparents ont on Blondeau street
No one in Rrookfield was an eye
witness to the deed it is stated by the
officers of that place and her murder
err will probably never be known.

A party of thirty. including the Of

Dredne Aetna to Montrose.

The dredge boat Aetna left the
lower lock this morning bound for
Montrose where the boatmen have
been experiencing little difficulty in
running. The boat which plies be-
tween Nauvoo and Moatrose has been
unable to make a landing near Mon
troses and has had to make round
about trip to get between the two
places. With the grape season coming
on and with the heavy traffic which
the boatmen are already having it is
very necessary that a channel be in
good shape. The dredge was sent up
after the mayor of Nauvoo, the ferry
boat owners, and Congressman Ken
nedy had asked that the work be done.
1t is expected that the trouble can
be remedied in short time.

THE PARANOIAC.
Queer Delusions That Come With This
Curious Mental Disease.

"That curious form of mental dis
ease known MS paranoia is seldom or
ever cured said n noted Chicago
alienist.
"a paranoiac may be able to trans
act business with fair degree of eff
cheney, but, as a rule, few of this class
can be made to stick TO work as the
nature of the malady prevents concen-
tration of mind. One so possessed is
afflicted with strange delusions, espe-
cially with the notion that he is being
prosecuted Many an individual who
is denominated a crank has paranoia.
In general these unfortunates are mis-
anthropic, have no social intercourse
with their fellows and are brooding
and introspective. Very often their
mania leads them to the notion that
they have been born to lead mankind
In q religious way, and they proclaim
themselves prophets of God. Quite
often, too, they are discoverers of
some wonderful invention that will as
tonish the world
'It was a paranoiac who followed
the great actress Mary Anderson from
place to place, declaring himself her
favored suitor and threatening to kill
any man who sought her company.
These threats were what led to the
locking up of the demented creature,
and believe he finally shot one of the
asylum attendants. Paranoiacs very
frequently develop homicidal tenden-
cies, and it is prudent to watch them
at all times."-Baltimor American.

Stomach Distress.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diaspepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of In
digestion or stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome a
sour stomach five minutes afterwards
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill you,
or lays like n lump of lead in your
stomach, or if you have heartburn,
that is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist for 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take one
triangule after supper tonight. There
will be no sour rislngs, no belcbing of
indigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debiitating Headaches, Dizziness or
intestinal gripping. This will all GO
and, besides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison
your breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
all stomach misery, because, it will
take hold of of your food and digest it
just the same as if your stomach was MT
there.
Actual, prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist,
waiting for you.
These large 80 cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure a case of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion.

Extend a Helping Hand.

This, from the Welsboro Republican
Advocate, is applicable to any town:
Wellsboro has been having a season
of revivals, still continuing. And
Wellsboro ought to be, and is better
town because of them. The nearer this
little city or any other, large or small,
gets to the truths of the Eternal, the
nearer will its people be to the peace
and happiness of right living.
Take our churches out of Wellsboro
and we would not desire to live here.
Say what we may, the churches are the
greatest force for good in this com
munity and the ministers of God are
men whose influence for morality and
righteousness cannot be estimated.
Earnest men and women come among
us to labor of our men and women,
boys and girls. Evangelists we call
them, because they bring the gospel
of the Son of Man, good tidings to
human hearts. However we may view
methods of work the fact remains that
these servants of God comes only to do
us good and the truth they preach re-
mains the truth because it is eternal
and Interchangeable.
The ideal of manhood and woman
hood is the life of the Christian. The
men and women who renounce the
things of the world and determine to
follow the Christ; deserve every en-
couragement from Christian and non.
Christian, for all of us must realize
that they have chosen the better way.
Men who make no profession of per-
sonal religion frankly express their ad-
miration for those who accept and
pledge their lives to the Saviour of
men. They have done what all men
ought to do and what all right think
ing men know in their hearts is not
only duty but the best act ever con-
ceived in the mind of men.
Let every single one of US extend the
hand of help and encouragement to
these men and women, boys and girls,
to many of whom the way will not be
easy. It's the duty of decent citizen
ship to help them and never to hinder
by word or deed

AGED LIONS.
The Big Brutes Get Lazy and Spirit
less as They Grow Old.

As he grows old lion gets lazy
and spiritless, says Everybody's. The
naughty beast that stareS at the crowd
outside his cage usually is as fierce of
spirit as Il fat night watchman who
blinks out upon the dark world
through the circle of light cast by the
lamp at his feet.

him and n keeper to look after his

care of the regal edge and see to it
that the usual three square meals per
day await the royal gullet Mt the prop
er hours.
The story book impression that lions
are always on the hunt in their native
jungle is quite at variance with the
truth. Indeed, the older lions will fire.
quently go hungry or seek the leavings
of another beasts kill rather than
summon the energy to hunt prey for
themselves.
In group of ten or twelve trained
lions two or three young, nervous ami
mails usually supply the act with all
its dash and spirit. The others are
somnambulists.
Tigers, too. frequently grow lethar-
gic with advancing years, but never to
such a degree as the aging lion. There
is always pinch of ginger in the big
striped cat. For that reason he makes
n more spectacular performer than the
lion and usually tougher proposition
for the trainer.

EaSy To Mix This.

What will appear very interesting to
many people, here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, which is said to
be positive remedy for backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement, if
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce ;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy, or the mixture would
be put up if asked to do so. He fur
ther stated that while this prescription
is often prescribed in rheumatic afflict-
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backacbe, as it has
peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
ann suffering. Those of our readers
who suffer can make no mistake in
giving it trial.
