CHURCH SOLOIST
IS MURDER VICTIM
Clara ROsen Waylaid by Slayer,
Who Frightfully MutiIates
Her Body

DES MONIES, Ia, Feb. Clara
Rosen, solist in the Lutheran church
at Ottumwa, was murdered in an un-
usually atrocious manner last night.
Her badly mutiIated body was found
today and widespread search was made
for her slayer.
Miss Rosen, who was a beautiful
woman, 2S years old, was to- have been
married next week to Sanford Carlson
of Ironton, Wyo.. mine owner. The
police say this love affair was the cause
of her death. They say disappointed
suitor murdered his former sweetheart.
Miss Rosen was waylaid as she was
returning home from her practice. Her
assailant dragged her to lonely spot
and crushed her skull with a sharp
stone. Her death screams failed to
summon aid, but the story of her fren-
zied attempts to wrest herself from
her slayer's grasp is written in the
sand near the place where the body
was found. The singer fought the man
from the time he grasped her in the
street until she sank unconscious be-
meath his blows. Miss Rosen's skull
was crushed in two places and a score
of cruel blows had bruised and torn
When Miss Rosen did not return
home last night searching parties were
sent out. Not until today did any of
the searchers approach the scene of the
crime, although they passed and re-
passed It many times during the night
Many men passed the day IN search
for the murderer.
Two suspects have been arrested
one at Oskaloosa, giving his name as
James Martin of st. Louis. who said
he was a teamster. When searched
he ha6 blood on his clothing. He adj
mitted he had just come from Ottumwa.
At Abba man giving the name of
William Travers was arrested on sus-
picion.
Governor Carroll is considering Offer
ing a large reward for the murderers
apprehension. The mayor of Ottumwa
has offered reward of $500 and the
citizens of the city have made up $500
more.
Miss Rosen's diamond brooch and
purse are missing. The police say that
the slayer took these to make it ap-
pear like case of robbery.
G. Anderson, Miss Rosen's recent en-
ployer at Ottumwa, offered an addi-
tional $1,000 for the capture of her
slayer.

Stomach Gases
and Torpid Livers
Give Way Before the Peculiar
Purifying Power of Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges
A Trial Package Sent Free

The foul gases of the stomach and
the torpid action OF the liver are easy
victims for charcoal to overcome.
This great natural cleaner and ab-
sorbent will most certainly be relished
by a system afflicted with gaseous or
sluggish tendencies.
Charcoal has long been known as a
great absorbent of gas. A painful Of
charcoal will positively purify a room
filled with foul odors and decay. Its
absorbing ratio is one hundred times
greater than its own volume
The ancients gave charcoal for many
human. ills successfully. The North
American Indians used it for snake
bite and poison from eating wild herbs.
and cured what they called stomach
bad medicine" with it.
Willow charcoal seems to be the best
product for human use, and no doubt
the peculiar curative property of the
willow is represented in a chemical
quality in its charcoal.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are n,,ra
willow and sweet honey blended by
tremendous power and compression into
a very palatable lozenge. Two or three
lozenges eaten after meals will pre-
vent the process of digestion from pro-
lazy liver and aid every organ which
is most likely to be overcome throuoh
its contact with impurities
They cleanse the stomach and intes
of fermentation and decay and aid di-
gestion by a1layfng gas. They will aid
you and your stomach. The beneficial
effects are made evident after each
meal when you use charcoal as Stuart
prepares it. To allay gas at night thew
are excellent and one arises in the
morning without that terrible nauseat-
ing bad breath which destroys appetife
and renders one miserable.

carious health of lGovernor S. G. Cos
grove and his absence from the state

Inquest Adjourned Until Fluid
Found in Stomach Is
Analysed
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

MONTEREY, Feb. 6.-An inquest on
the remains of Edward Berwick Jr., who
was found dead in his home in the
Carmel valley, was begun today, but
not completed, for the reason that Coro-
ner Muller desired to have some dark
fluid found in the stomach analyzed-
Francis Dunlap was the first witness
called. He lived with Berwick, and
told OF the young mans retiring after
eating heavy meal and taking a bath.
Edward Berwick testified to the age
and identity of his son. DR.. Gum, who
made an autopsy, could not give the
cause of death. He said it might have
resulted from chronic gastritis, vio-
lent nightmare, apoplexy or heart dis
ease. Traces of charcoal were found
In the stomach, which shows that he
had been doctoring for his stomach.
The doctor said he did not for a mo-
ment believe that death had resulted
from any other than natural causes. 1t
was thought best to have the dark
huld found In the stomach analyzed.
The inquest was postponed until next
Saturday afternoon.

be held Monday afternoon. His fiancee.
Miss Jordan, has not arrived here, but

something like ten minutes late, it is
said, and should have been running

running faster than would have been
the case under other circumstances.
