SHE ATE TURKEY AND DIED.
Ten Year Old Girl Choked to Death
on Part of Fowl.

New York, Nov. 26.-Gertrude
Goldstein, 10-year-old Brooklyn
girl is dead in her home as the result
of swallowing a turkey bone with her
Thanksgiving dinner.
The bone lodged in her aesophagus
and could not be extricated. Her vio-
lent coughing merely stirred the bone
and its sharp end finally pierced the
wall of the aesophagus, causing in
tense pain. The girls mother, to al
lay her suffering, gave her some tea
to drink, but the beverage leaked
through the aperture in the gullet and
trickled down into the lung. The
child became unconscious almost at
once and died without having regained
consciousness.

FELL FROM HEAVEN
Creating Great Excitement
in His Neighborhood.

(From the Bloomington. Ind, Daily
Te1ephone.)
Mr.. Martin vanwick drove stxteen
miles to town this morning to get
three bottles of Root Juice. He said :
THE remedy has done wonders at nv
house and everybody in my neighbor-
hood is excited over 1t. If 1t had fall
better. I wouldn't take a. fortune for
what 1t has done for my wife. Be-
fore taking Root Juice she was In bed
and everyone thought her case was
hopeless. Even water would sour on
her stomach and gas would form and
press up against her heart so that it
would almost stop beating. Her tongue
was badly coated and she would com
plain of a bitter, then a sour taste in
would be running of and at other
times she was badly constipated. The
doctors said that her stomach, liver,
kidney and bowels were all badly
diseased. When 1 got the first bottle
CT Root Juice she was reduced to a
mere skeleton, and we feared that she
couldn't take It, as no medicine we
had tried lately would lay on her stom-
ach, hut the first dose of the Juice
seemed to socthe her stomach and do
her good. She has used hardly two
bottles, but is now out of bed and is
rapidly recovering strength, flesh and
health. The number of people that are
going to The Arnold drug store, 523
Kansas avenue. to inquire about the
remedy is increasing daily, as so many
of those who are using 1t are praising
it very highly to their friends. It IS
sold for 81 a bottle or three bottles
for $3.50. Many are buying three bot
ties at a time in order to save fifty
cents.

STOCKS ARE A DRUG.
1t Has Been a Dull Week on Wall
Street.

New York, Nov. 26.-The holiday
interruption was responsible for some
restraint on speculative activity this
week. The easing money market fail
ell to stimulate demand for stocks.
Bankers discountenance large employ
ment of resources for speculation
owing to coming capital requirements
which will necessitate new bond is
sues.
The revival of industrial activity,
especially in the steel trade, is felt to
be largely dependent on the success
of the bond sales and also on the de-
cision of the freight advances asked
by the railroads.
The supreme court decisions on the
trust cases and congressional action
on the tariff also invite increasing con-
sideration by operators in the stock
market.

Woman Fined for Being Drunk.

Armada Bell was fined $40 Fri
day for her Thanksgiving cele-
bration. When she was arrested
Thursday night, the officer said she
was drunk. As morning came she was
more hilarious than when taken to the

she had a pint bottle of whisky con-
cealed on her person when arrested.
She spent the night trying to dispose
of the wet goods and was happy
when she told the court of her
Thanksgiving festivities. The Bell
woman was released Thursday after
noon, after serving three days on a
charge of disorderly conduct. Six
hours later she was back in the ma
irons ward of the station.

KANSAS SENDS SETTLERS.

ALTA PLANTATION.

John ]. Conley of Topeka, Kansas,
arrived on Thursday, and is the guest
of Captain J. A. Miller at his home in
Santa Ana. Mr.. Conley is represent
Alta estate, one of the tracts near
Nueva Corona, which is now being ex-
plotted. Mr.. Conley is here for the
purpose of ascertaining conditions and
property. He expects to have develop
ed in the near future the holdings of
a number of Topeka people who
have purchased in the tract. Some of
these will come later as settlers, and
others as winter residents. While his
stay has been as yet of but a couple
of days, Mr.. Conley has formed very
favorable opinion of the Isle of Pines,
and is especially delighted with its
splendid climate, which he says is the
that of his old Kentucky home or that
Of his adopted. Kansas. He proposes
to build shortly on a tract owned by
him, and will also have erected a
bungalow for Mr.. Rohrer. tract Sc
lected by the latter when he was here
last. According to Mr.. Conley the peo-
pie of Kansas and especially about To-
peka, are becoming interested in the
Isle of Pines, and in January a party
of prospectors will arrive with Mr..
Rohrer. It is the intention of the
visitor to stay in the island about two
months at the present time and will
make frequent visits later. Mr.. Con-
ley is particularly well known IN turf
circles where he figured conspicuously
for many years, having bred and raised
some of the country's great horses. He
is of the belief that a climate such as
is afforded by the Isle of Pines would
be a splendid one in which to quarter
fancy horses during the winter season,
and it NAV be that he may be inclined
to interest horsemen and bring a stock
to the island, in which event winter
racing would be made one OF the fea-
lures of Entertainment for those who
came to the Isle of Pines.
