goods in Lent. The people have dis
covered that macaronf is a cheap ar

of potatoes and meat.
The grocers are handling big line
of canned mushrooms this season.
They are becoming more and more
popular, and may be purchased from

?. The Appliance for retaining the rlIp-
ture cannot be thrown out of position.
3. Being an air cushion of soft rubber
it clings closely to the body, yet never
blisters or causes irritation
4 Unlike the ordinary so-called pads,
used in other trusses, it is not cumber-
some or ungainly.
5. 1t is small. soft and pIiable, and
positively cannot be detected through the
clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleasant
sensation of wearing a harness.
T. There is nothing about it to get foul
and when it becomes soiled it can be
washed without injuring it in the least
s. There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
g. All of the material of which the Ap-
planes are made is of the very best that
money can buy. making it durable and
safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and fair

SEEK MAN IN BLACK.
Will of Benefactor to Be Read for
Murder Clue.

Hutchinson, kan. Feb. 21-With the
arrival here of a son and three dauGh-
ters of the late DR.. E E. Richardson,
a wealthy physician, whose adopted
daughter, Miss Edna Nelson, % years
old, was found shot to death in her
room here Sunday, the will left by the
father will be opened. 1t is hoped the
document may throw some light on the
death of his ward.
It is said by friends of DR.. Richard
son that Miss Nelson is the largest
heir to the estate and it is believed
that she also left a will which has not
been found.
Miss Nelson was found lying on a
bed dying, by her sister. She had been
shot with an old revolver belonging
to the physician and which had been
kept in drawer in his room. The
shots could not have been fired by the
girl, say physicians who examined the
course taken by the bullets.
Search is being made by the officers
for a man of medium height, dressed in
black, whom Will Patterson, who lives
neFr Richardson's home, says he saw
about the house last Saturday where
Miss Nelson died a few hours later.
DR.. Richardson, with whom the two
girls lived, died three weeks ago
The dead girls sister, Effie Nelson,
still clings to the suicide theory.
1T was grief over the doctors death
that caused my sister to kill herself
said E,ffie today.
Many people say DR.. Richardson kent
large sums Of money about his home
and that the dead girl had money IT.
the house. Fife says her sister had
money loaned out, but denies that con-
siderable amounts were kept in the
house.
Proves Suicide Is Impossible.
To prove that it would have been i'm
possible for Miss Nelson to have shot
herself without infiicting powder burns,
DR.. w H. Williamson, county coroner,
q fired rCVCt
yer bullets at it from different dis
tances and angles.
The test satisfies me that the bull
let which killed the girl could not have
been fired even from a distance of four
feet without leaving powder marks,
DR.. Williamson said.
Miss fIelson was found dying from
a shot in the head in the house of her
late guardian last Saturday. There
were no powder burns. Her sister, Ell
fie, who found her, insists the case is
suicide Both girls were wards of the
wealthy DR.. Richardson.
