Thick,
Poisonous Blood

carries countless deadly disease-laden
germs to every part Of the body!
Pure blood contains the proper
amount of red and white corpuscles to
insure perfect health in man, woman
or child. When there is a lack of
these corpuscles, the blood becomes
thick, sluggish and poisonous-doesn't
furnish correct nourishment to the
vital organs-leads to indigestion,
constipation, skin eruptions, torpid
liver, kidney or bladder trouble, or
other serious arrangement.
The call gone feeling, dizzy spells,
pains in the back, burning sensation in
the stomach after eating, yellowish
or muddy complexion, and similar
symptoms, are danger signals from
deranged organs, and if UNDECIDED,
will likely cause grave results.

PEDESTRIAN

cottlieb Rodriguez Entertained
Large Audience at Dodse's
Theatre With Talk Last
Evening.
TOLD OF HIS TRAVELS
Mas Illustrated by Slides, the Pic

Instances He Had TAX
en- Himself.

Patrons of Dodge's theatre were In
tensely interested with the lecture Of
Gottfried Rodriguez, the representa-
tive Of the Amsterdam Telegraph, who
is now engaged in walking around the
world.
With him in Keokuk today is an
other distinguished globe-trotter, Gus
tay Koegel, who wears a solid gold
medal given by Richard K. Fox, pro-
prietor of the Police Gazette, New
York, for walking aroundN the world
and establishing record OF twenty
two months. Koegel has also made
trip around the world on a bicycle and
soon expects to go after the record of
Weston in walk from New York to
San Francisco. He Is acting as adj
vance man for Rodriguez.
Rodriguez gave twenty-minute lee
ture, explaining his curious garb, col
ored clothes. wooden shoes, etc, as
requisites of the wager with his man
ager. He also had shown about fifty
magic lantern slides illustrating parts
of the world over which he had trav-
eled.
This method of giving illustrated lee
lures is 6Ie OF the common means of
earning his own living. He speaks
brokenly, but his peculiar tone of ex-
preston is only an added feature to
the entertainment Of his lecture. witch
is indeed quite entertaining and in
structive.
Rodriguez is not allowed to travel by
train. He often makes use OF motor
cycles and bicycles. but not finding the
roads in a generally smooth condition,
much OF his way Is made on foot.
About / o'clock tomorrow morning,
while 1t is still cool, the pedestrian
will set out for Quincy, on a continu-
ance of his journey. From Quincy he
will turn his head westward, striking

Mrs. Marian Osborn, Living on Farm
Near Skunk River Met Death
Yesterday Afternoon
From Burns.
CHILD GAVE ALARM
Clothing Had Caught fire From
Kitchen stove, but Before AS
sistance Could Reach Her
She Was Dead.

Coroner Bert Prugh of Burlington,
Des Moines county, was summoned to
the Hyman Osborn far1 near the
Skunk river, in Union township, last
evening. where the good mans wife
had lost her life in horrible manner.
MIR Lrugh made the trip in an auto
mobile and covered the distance, some
eight II. es, in record-breaking time
The accident occurred about 5 o'clock
yesterday evening. A little grand
daughter, who had been playing in the
yard, looked into the kitchen and dis
covered her grandmother "all on fire."
Swiftly she ran to the corn field,
where her grandfather was busy. He
made all possible speed to get back
to the house, but when he arrived the
womans sufferings were over. The
body was badly burned and the cloth
ing, including the shoes, had been de-
stroyed by the flames. There was an
open lid on the kitchen stove and this
told the story of the terrible occur
renee. There was no oil about the
kitchen, and if there had been the
house would probably have been de-
stroyed. Mrs. Osborn's clothing had
caught from the fire in the stove and it
burned with such swiftness that size
was unable to do anything for herself.
1t is not possible that her sufferings
could have lasted more than few
minutes before death mercifully came
to her relief. Mr.. Prugh arranged the
poor, SCARED body and rendered all
possible assistance to the stricken
family.
Mrs. Osborn was born in the state
of New York, December %, 1856, and
the family are the grief stricken hus-
band and four daughters, Mrs. Stella
Anderson, Mrs Rebekah Staff, Mrs
4 Nettie Matson, Miss Bertha Osborn
and Benjamin Osborn. The news OIL
the accident spread like wildfire and
soon a large number of neighbors an6
friends had assembled to proffer as
sistance and to express their sympa
i thy. e
The funeral will be held from the
4 family home at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. No doubt there will be a
large attendance of relatives and
friends and neighbors to pay their last
4 honors to the good woman, who was
so suddenly and in such a terrible
manner brought to her end
