CoQUHLE MAN Is SHOT DOWN.

Coquilie. Or-W. r. Foote of Bea-
yer Hi Junction shot and instantly
killed Charles Wilcox, roadmaster of
the local railroad, on the street here,
sending three bullets from a 1890
rifle through the body of the victim.
He then surrendered to a deputy sher-
iff and was locked up in the county
Jail. Two Of Foote's sons. also arm
ed, were near their father when the
shooting took place. 1t is said that
Wilcox, who had lived with the Foote
family for a little while. had wronged
the daughter of the house, and that
the slayer will plead the unwritten
law in his defense.
Trouble has been feared for some
days and rumor has it that the deputy
prosecutor for this county has inves-
tigated the matter for the past week
The killing was evidently premeditat-
ed, as Foote and his two armed sons
had been seen on the street apparent

OLIVE WANTED TO GO TO BED.

New York.-Olive Dorr. who comes
from Washington and admits she IS
26 years old and one of the brightest
Jewels in high society at the capital,
flounced into the corridor Of the Ho-
tel Lincoln in the wee small hours
the other morning, and twisting her
green serpent gown closely about her,
approached the clerk:
Shay Of sport, gimme key. Musht
go bed. Out all night. Fine time.
Shimply boo-ful." ana she clutched
the cigar case for support.
Nothing doing, Olive" replied the
clerk in his most courtly manner.
For a moment Olive stared at him
in amazement. In the evening, be-
fore she had departed for the ball,
the manager of the Lincoln, Harry
Siegel, had made some remarks about
a $50 board bill due. He had even
intimated he would be forced to hold
her trunk unless she settled. But
Olive had not taken him seriouly.
'Lishen, iii one 1 shaid 1 want

again to the clerk.
When she finally understood she
could not go to her room she was
nonplussed, but only for a moment
She would not mind going to sleep
in the lobby. But before sleeping she
would disrobe. She calmly announc-
ed her decision to the manager and
without waiting for Criticism or COM
ment, began to get ready for bed. Hell
fur coat she hung from a chandelier
over the desk. Her dress followed
Other articles were hung from various
vantage points One article of under
clothing she draped neatly about the

tell how such things happen-a crowd
of men began to pour into the lobby
Once and only once did Manager Sic

her. A small bottle filled with inl

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance COM
panies, in an interview on the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority of applicants do not even
suspect that they have the disease.
He states that judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in di-
rect touch with the public, there is
one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving and
curing these diseases than any rem
edy known. The mild and healing
influence of DR. Kilmers Swamp Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the high
est for its remarkable record of
cures.
We find that Swamp Root is strict
ly an herbal compound and we would
advise our readers who feel in need
of such a remedy to give it trial. 1t
is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, fifty cents and one dol
lar.
However, If you wish first to test its
wonderful merits. send to DR.. Kilmer
& Co., Binghampton, N Y, for a sam
pie bottle, absolutely free. When
writing be sure and mention the Daily

Age has its attractions no less than
youth ia more serene and quieter
life. But 1t is this very life of rest
without sufficient exercise that brings
with it those disorders that arise from
inactivity. Chief of these are
chronic, persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in
this way, with accompanying symp-
toms OF belching, drowsiness after
eating. headaches and general lassi-
tude. Frequently there is difficulty
of digesting even light food. Much
mental trouble ensues, as it Is hard
to find a suitable remedy. First of
all the advice may be given that ell
derly people should not use salts, ca
thartic pills or powders. waters or any
of the more violent purgatives. What
they need, women as we'll as men, Is
a mild laxative tonic, one that Is
pleasant to take and yet acts without
gripping.

quirements, and has in addition tonic
