KIDNAPPED GIRL IS
FOUND MURDERED
Body of Child Was Found in
Lake.
REVENGE PLOT IN DEATH
Find Proof of StransIing, but Police
Believe That Annie Lemberger
Was Slain for
Revenge.

Madison, Wis Annie Lemberger,
seven years old, who was mysterious
ly stolen from her bed on September
6, has been found. The child's body.
naked, was taken from Lake Monona.
She had been murdered before being
thrown into the lake. The cause of
the crime is still a mystery
There is no visible evidence of
violence so far as a superficial exam
ination disclosed beyond, perhaps, a
slight discoloration of one ear. A dis
coloration on the neck, however, as if
from unnatural causes, may indicate
that the child was strangled. The lit
discolored, having been in the water
several days.
The body was found by George
Younger, a cement worker living at
South Madison. There was a peaceful
expression on the face of the child at
the undertaking rooms, where she
was brought by the police ambulance
in charge of Capt. Henry Davenport.
The most plausible theory is murder
for revenge
The child was taken from her sleep
ing room at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Lemberger, early
in the morning of September 6. The
child was clad only in a night gar
ment, but even this was gone. Long
brown hair, wet and bedraggled,
streamed down from the little head.
The body was found about mile
from the stricken home. 1t may have
been dropped from the railroad bridge
across the bay. If not, then the child
was taken out in boat and thrown
overheard and drifted near the shore.

Hartford, Conn.-President Iaft'

spoke vigorously in defense OF the
pending arbitration treaties and IN
criticism of the antagonistic attitude
of senate leaders on those agree
ments.
simultaneously there was made pub
lie in New York an article by Col
Theodore Roosevelt in the Outlook
characterizing these conventions as
silly and impractical; protesting
against the binding of the United
States to arbitrate questions of nation
al honor. declaring that the American
people would not observe such an
agreement and that advocacy OF It,
therefore, was hypocrisy.
He declares there are certain things
in the proposed agreement that the
United States never would attempt to
recognize and that the document is
constructed so loosely that 1t never
could be determined just what certain
parts of it meant.
President Taft endeavored to show
the benefits that would accrue to the

which his movement was receiving

"WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTICURA SOAP?

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and l thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, it
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation it's delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages Of the best of toilet soaps.
It is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, 1t is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making it's
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth OF
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"

POPE SUFFERS RELAPSE;
RELATIVES ARE SUMMONED
Recurrence of Gout, Aggravated by
Uraemic Poisoning, Alarms Ply
sicians and Vatican Officials.

Rome-The pope has suffered an
other relapse. and so serious Is
his holiness condition that Pro
fessor Marchiafava has beeh asked to
resume his daily visits. There is
much anxiety felt on the pcpe's con-
dition in Vatican circles.
While it is announced that the re-
lapse is due merely to a recurrence
of the equity symptoms that so great
~ annoyed the pOrtiff and caused him
extreme pain two or three weeks ago
it aas been learned from an undoubted
authority that in addition to the govt
the pope is suffering from conse-
quent uraemic poisoning.
The first indication & the relapse
came Wednesday when the pope com
planned for the first time in nearly two
weeks of severe pains IN his right
knee. Professor Petacci was instant
ly summoned and to his surprise
found the knee greatly s-~ollen. This
condition, in conjunction with the ad-
vanced age of the pontiff and his
debilitated condition, are regarded in
a very serious light by the papai
archiatra. who at once requested his
colleague, Professor Marchiafava. TO
resume his daily visits.
The popes sisters and niece, who
were enjoying a holiday at Frascati.
in the Alban Hills, have returned hur'
riedly to Rome.
