were put into stove and burned UP,
only few scattering pieces remain
Ing as evidence when the investigation
was made today. The mothers letter
was of six pages in length and the
most important part was deciphered
as follows:
IF you ever communicate, see or
speak to Jack Mole again do not
want you to darken my door again"
Other parts of the charred epistle
could not be made out, but it appear
ed to have been written in a rambling
way.
The coroner's theory about the otn-
er letter is that it was from Jack
Mole. This is believed to be wrong
one, however. From the evidence not
brought out at the inquest it seems
that another friend of the girls who
was intimate with the family knew
the character of the letter which was
being sent by the mother. He sought
to forewarn the girl by writing. Both
letters were brought to her at the
same time, but in her anxiety to
hear from homo she read her mothers
first.

Came to Keokuk Sunday.

Clara Weisenberger possessed more
than average charms. She was
brunette, tall of stature and fair to
look upon. After visit from the
grandmother Clara left home Satur-
day for the purpose of accompanying
the old lady of eighty years to this
city and remaining for a visit. Three
made up the party, the third being
Walter p. Jones, very dear friend
OF the girls, who was coming here to
work on the dam. The trio reached
the city Sunday morning.
The girls disposition is reported as
being cheerful at all times until she
received two letters Monday morning
One was from her mother and the 9th
er is said to have been from a friend
other than Jack Mole. She opened
anu read both letters and during the
rest of the morning was sullen and
respondent. She ate little at the
monday lunch and in the afternoon
spent most of the time in her room.
Discovered Dead.
The girl was discovered dead in
the afternoon about three o'clock by
her grandmother. She was lying on
the cot in her room, a half filled bot
tie OF carbolic acid with the label

come to her death She was dressed
and her face was only slightly dis

which she must have passed.
DR.. j. r. Wedel was summoned
and found the girl dead upon his ar

she killed herself was purchased at

girl signing for it to be used for kill

Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free the
advice OF physician of over 40 years experience
skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
OF women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded sacredly
confidential. Many sensitiveiy modest women write
iu!iy to DR.. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
IS pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without IAN examination. DIR. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are Generally need
