Child Wife'S Words Indict
Convict Spouse for
Alleged Perjury.
MOTHER MADE HER MARRY HIM

Kenton, o.. Feb. 16.-Holding a
doll baby tightly In her arms, Grace
Strain Jones, aged IA years, child
wife of John Jones, aged AZ. an ex-
convict, appeared before the grand
jury and gave the testimony that
caused Jones to be indicted for per-
jury. Next week the child will ap-
pear against Jones in Common Pleas
Court, and her testimony is expected
to send Jones to the penitentiary.
Six weeks ago Jones appeared at
the Probate Court and secured IL
cense to marry Grace Strahm. He
swore. it is charged. the girl was 16
years of age. The Humane Society
caused Jones to be arrested on a
charge of perjury, claiming the girl
is only IA years old.
In the preliminary hearing Jones
swore that Mrs. Strahm, the girls
mother, told him If he promised to
keep the whole family he could have
Grace. Grace Strahm was in jail on
Christmas Day, held as delinquent
child. Asked what she wanted for
Christmas, she said she wanted a
dolly" 1t was given her. Soon af-
ter she was taken to the Delaware
Industrial Home.
Yesterday the Jones case was in
vestigated by the grand jury. and
the girl was brought here from Del
aware and insisted on bringing along
her doll. She did not want to lose
the doll. she said, as it was the mic
est one she had ever had.
When the child appeared in the
jury room the jurors were visibly
affected. Tears came to the eyes of
some of the men as the child said
her mother told her she must marrv
Jones. Don't let him have me-"
she said.

THERE'S NO RISK.
If This Medicine Does Not Benefit
You Pay Nothing.

A physician who made a specially
of stomach troubles, particularly
dyspepsia, after years of study, per
fected the formula from which
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief of acute in
digestion and chronic dyspepsia.
Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the 'inflamed membranes
of the stomach. They are rich in
pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The re-
lief they afford is almost; immediate.
Their use with persistehcy and reg
ularity for short time brings about
cessation of the pains caused by
stomach disorders.
rRexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
and promote nutrition. AS evidence
OF our sincere faith in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets, we. ask you to try
them at our risk. II they do not
give you entire satisfaction. we will
return you the money you paid us
for them, without question or for
mality. They come in three sizes,
prices % cents, SO cents and $1.O0.
Remember you can obtain them only

The Hartford Herald has adopted
new rule in regard to Obituaries,
Resolutions of Respect. Cards of
Thanks, &C., whether written at the
the behest of lodges, churches or In
dividuals, and that is, we shall
charge at the rate of two cents per
line for all such articles, except obit-
uary poetry, which will be one cent
per word, straight. This is the small
est rate we charge for anything and
is only one-fifth of our regular rate.
The amount, In cash or stamps,
must accompany each article, or
1t will not be printed. Six
words average a line In ordi-
nary reading and every separate
character or initial letter counts as
word. The heading and the sig
nature both count one. line each,
even If they are only a word or two.
All obituary poetry, straight
through, one cent per word.
Our old rule In regard to Obitua-
ries, &c. was $50 words free, balance
a cent a word, but this did not prove
because the bounds we're
almost always overstepped, and we
have been forced to adopt this new
rule, which is in effect from now on.

evening Frank was seen alive he
was in a liquor saloon near the
river, whose barkeepcr might be
able TO throw some light on the
disappearance that followed.
Interrogation of the bartender
brought out the fact that on the
night in question Frank had
come into his place in company
with a stranger whom one of the
customers had aftcrward idcnti-
fed as a reporter of "Thc Intel
ligcnccr, name unknown. This
customer was hunted up and
taken by one of the plain clothes
men 10 the newspaper Office,
where an excuse was COnCoctcd
for leading him into the re-
portcrS' quarters, and he pri-
vatcly indicated a man there as
the one they were looking for.
1t proved to be Joseph Mason.
an old and trusted employee
and the principal feature writer
OF the staff. Both the barkecpcr
and the customer who was help
ing the police remembered that
Mason and Frank, after the
latter had had a drink and the
former had paid for it, left the
saloon apparently in a contro-
vcrSy which, though conducted
in undertoncS, was evidently
rather heated. Neither witness
could tell positively what was
said; but the difficulty seemed
TO be about some bargain from
which Frank was trying to draw
out, and Nlason'S threat to pun
ish him if he persisted in his con-
tumaCy.
Incidentally another fact in
connection with the case was
now brought out for the first
time. On the morning following
the visit Of the detective TO "Thc
Intelligcnccr" Office Mason had
suddenly disappeared, lcavingno
word OF where he was going nor
how long he intended to be alb
sent. At his boarding house
nobody knew any more than the
people at the Office. His trunk
was found locked, and the land
