TRAGEDY FOLLOWS WEDDING
Rejected Suitor Wounds Wife of An
other and Then Takes His
Own Life.

Akron, O.-Married one day and
shot and wounded the next by
a jealous lover, who Immediately
killed himself was the fate of Mrs.
Alice McCombes Eaton. The man
who killed himself after attempting
to murder the girl for refusing to
marry him was John Mullen, an en-
ploye Of the Standard Oilcloth Co.
The Mullen family claims that the
two had been engaged to be married
when Miss McCombes married Eaton,
stationary engineer. Miss Nc
Combes and Eaton went secretly to
the residence of Rev. w. D. Starkey
and were married. Mullen did not
learn of the marriage until later. The
couple began married life at the home
of the brides sister and Mullen lived
with his parents in an adjoining
house. When he spied Mrs. Eaton up
stairs in her sisters house and he
rushed in the front door and to the
second floor without being discovered
He shot the young bride in the right
side of the neck, the ball passing un-
der the skin and out, resulting in
slight injuries. He Immediately fired
a shot into his right temple.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end Of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
"My aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
sent to drug store and got cake Of
Cuticura Soap and box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. I can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. l used only one cake Of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.
81 am a nurse and my profession
brings me into many different fam
flies and it is always pleasure fol
me to tell my story and recommend
Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Shell.

BUCKEYE STATE NEWS
BIG WASTE IN DAYTON HOME
Directors of Soldiers Institution Buy
Wine, Charges Representative
Cox of Ohio.

Washington, D. C.-The manage
ment of the Dayton, Ohio, Soldiers
home is particularly condemned in an
arraignment Of the management of
national homes for old soldiers by
Representative Cox of Ohio. Cox con-
demns the administration of the sol
diers' homes as extravagant and
wasteful. He places the blame on the
central board of directors which has
expensive offices in New York City
Cox is from Dayton, o., and has inves-
legations results of which were given
to the house in a speech started in
the Dayton home. The attack came
when the sundry civil bill appropriat-
ing $5,000.000 for maintenance of the
homes for the coming year came up.
Cox said money should provide the
old soldiers with much better food
and accommodations than they get.
AS one indictment in the charge
that the funds were improperly ad-
ministered, Representative Cox says
$3.50 was expended for entertainments
of the board of directors for two days
at the Dayton home He says that
much of this amount went for wine.
The money Cox says came out of the
post fund, which leld money intended
for the entertainment of the inmates
of the home. The fund is made up of
pensions accruing to inmates who die
in the homes.

BEGIN PROGRESSIVE BATTLE
Embossed Ohio AssembIymen Declare
War When Corporations Seek
Control.

Columbus, O.-The state wide cam
paign for progressive and un-
bossed general assembly in Ohio has
been put in full motion. Carefully
laid plans are to be rapidly executed
in the hope that Ohio voters will act
on the theory that progressive gen
eral assebly is an issue equally as i'm.
portant as the selection of free men
to represent the state in congress.
Lawrence K. Langdon of Warren
county, author of the big tax reform
bill, announced his candidacy for
speaker of the next house of repre-
sentatives. Langdon presents him
self for this important Office as pro-
gressive Republican candidate pledged
to house organization made up for
the purpose of serving the state
rather than special interests in any
form. The announcement of his can
didacy is part of the program to in
sure the enactment of public utility
regulation bill at the next session of
the assembly. Great business inter.
ests, such as the steam and interur-
ban railway companies and the tele-
phone and telegraph companies two
years ago lost control of the house
organization for the first time in de,
cade. Speaker Mooney named the
house committees without regard to
the demands of selfish interests.
Langdon proposes to follow in the
same course.

WEDS AFTER TWO DEFEATS
Veteran of Civil and Indian Wars
Finds Bride After She Out
lives Husbands.

Cincinnati, O.-Cupid, vernacular
poets say, sometimes gets side
tracked. A proof of this was fur
nished here by the marriage of Will
liam Leichtle, 81, and Mrs. Mary
Mueller, IS, both of Cincinnati. Their
love story goes back to the day when
Mrs. Mueller, then Is, married LEIGH
ties brother, Alexander, while Will
liam was fighting in the civil war. He
missed a second chance because he
was chasing redskins in 1877, when
his brother died. The widow married
again, and when Leichtle came home
from the wild west he found she was
Mrs. Michael Mueller. Mueller died
in 1895, but William Leichtle was
roaming again. But he finally heard
the news and came back to court his
old love.

NnisX NuISances.

Ill-fitting doors and windows rep
resent happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact, SO annoying
does the constant rattle of these open
ings become that many determined in
dividuals, who resolve to admit the
fresh air, choose the lesser of two
evils and close the openings in prefer
ence to sleepless nights. This can be
remedied if a small wedge Of wood
be driven in at the side of an open
window; a door can be prevented
from rafting if pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom of
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be we'll oiled, while the grating, irri-
tatiug noise of a sewing machine can
be overcome in similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa
tience that is required for other
things. 1t were foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels Of irri.
tated nerves when a little time will
obyiate the nuisances.

RAISING OF EUROPEAN ARMIES
Various Systems of Compulsory En-
istment-Many Methods Adopt
ed to Avoid Dread Service.

We hear a good deal about conscrip.
ton, but few people know what it ac-
tually means. In no country is every
person who is able to fight drafted
into the army. All males who are
liable to serve undergo a physical ex-
animation resulting in only a certain
number being passed as fit for serv-
ice, says Pearson's Weekly.
No government has sufficient funds
to draft the whole of these men into
the regular army, so a selection is
made by ballot, the number of men
enrolled varying according to the
funds in the hands of the authorities.
The pay provided for the conscript
is necessarily very trifling indeed,
and will not compare with that paid to
generally true that the conscript must
fall back upon his private means.
The methods vary in each country;
but take the case of one continental
power. Every male subject not
physically incapacitated is liable to
enter the army at the age of 20, al
though those who care to enlist may
do so at 18.
A register is kept of all youths who
reach the age of 20 in the particular
year. Men under five feet two inches
in height are exempt from service, as
well, of course, as those who suffer
from natural infirmities which render
them unsuitable for actual service.
Other men also are exempt if they
have helpless dependents; thus, the
only son of widow or of a disabled
father, the latter category also inclu-
ding the only son of father who is
above 70 years Of age. Then the eld-
est of a family of orphans is exempt.
and in the case of two sons only one
is liable, there being various other ex-
emptions
The term served by the conscript is
one of 25 years, three years being
spent in the regular army, 6k in the
army reserve, six in the territorial
army, and the remaining 9R years in
the territorial reserve, all liability to
service ceasing at As.
The service is frequently so hated
that all manner of methods are adopt
ed in order to avoid it. In many cases
substitutes are provided by the
wealthy, though there are stringent
regulations with regard to the pro
vision of substitutes.
In most continental countries mill
tary malingering in order to avoid
compulsory military service has
reached the stage of fine art. In fact
a formidable list of new crimes has
been added to the statutes as result
and medical men frequently have to
suffer for their assistance in this par
ticular kind of fraud.
Thus some time ago number oi
Cologne doctors were arrested upon q
charge of having administered pills tC
young conscripts. These pills con
sisted of drugs which produced the
symptoms of heart disease so effective
ly as completely to deceive the mill
tary authorities, with the result thai
the conscripts were declared unfit fol

ANSWERS TOLEDO CHURCHES
Mayor Brand WhiEIock Defends Wo-
man of Streets as Victim of
Legal Privilege.

Toledo, O.-"You propose to abolish
vice and crime by the use of force; in
my philosophy they can never be abol-
ished until we ascertain the causes of
them, and remove the causes.
This is the keynote of written re.
ply which has been made by Mayor
Brand Whitlock to a committee rep
resenting the Federation of Churches
of Toledo, that some time ago called
upon him and demanded the suppress
sion of women of the streets, gambling,
Sunday violation by saloons, and sim
liar evils. Whitlock defends the wom-
an leading an evil life as a victim of
social conditions, holds that the man
who CANDLES with dice or cards is no
worse than the men who gamble in
business, points at the different views
held by the cosmopolitan residents of
the city on Sunday observance, and
points out another method to enforce
the laws.
This consists in a determined ef-
fort" he says, ito correct evil con-
ditions, first, by seeking out and wher-
ever possible removing their causes;
secondly, by steady repression and dis
couragement; and, thirdly, by trying
to create a higher concept of life and
conduct"
He concludes: ut was discovered
long ago that it is the inequality and
the denial of brotherhood, resulting
logically and inevitably from legal
privilege, that make all the poverty, all
the vice, all the crime in the world,
the crimes of the poor and the crimes
of the rich. This philosophy am try
ing to apply in the discharge Of my
| duties"

Importation of Leeches.

Leeches are enumerated by the bu-
reau of statistics under its general
head of animals imported, the total
value of the imports of this species
in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907.
$6,922; in 1906, $4,494; in 1905, $3,S62;
in 1904, $3,5S9; in 1908, 1920, and in
1902, $2,412-the commerce in leeches
being thus of a growing character.
The total value of the leeches i'm
ported into the United States in the
decade ending with 1908, is about $4O,-
900. Leeches are imported free Of
duty. Snails were at one time emu
merated as an article of importation,
the records from 1894 to 1898 showing
snails imported to the extent of about
$4,000; but the snail trade so dwin-
died, showing only $24 of imports in
1898, that the bureau discontinued it's
statements of this article.

one of the most interesting sights in
the country. They make a charming
variation in the landscape, with waving
bamboos growing up their sides, and
here and there a mantle of purple
morning glories screening a sharp
angle, while away down in their cool
depths quantities of ferns grow along
the course of gentle stream.
The greatest outbreak of Taal vol
cano occurred in 1854, when the viii
lagos of Taal. Lipa and Tannan, all
then on the border of Lake Bombon,
disappeared. 1t began on May 13 and
lasted until December /. Father Buen-
cuchillon states that there was not a
single night, from June until July 10,
