PLUMP FOLKS and THIN FOLKS
samose Will Make People Fat
"Money Back II It Fails" Say
1owditch, Webster e. Co.

The line of beauty is curve. Wo-
men may be thin and graceful, but
not thin and beautiful. There is a
vast number of pale thin, scrawny
people who are all brains and nerves,
but without the strength and health
that accompanies the standard weight.
Good flesh and perfect health go to-
gether. A true flesh forming food like
Samose is absolutely necessary to
many people
Fl This remarkable discovery comes in
tablet form and when taken after
meals mingles with the food and helps
1t to assimiiate SO that it makes rich
blood and pleasing plumpness
Bowiitch & Webster have so much con-
fidence in this remarkable flesh forming
food and health restorer that they are
willing and glad to allow any. customer
to deposit soc. with them and take home
a box of Samose with the understanding
that II. 1t does. not give a marked Ia,
crease in good firm flesh the money Will
be returned without any questions.

FUNERAL OF JOHN BIBRER.
CONTINUED from Page one.)

As Mrs. Teal turned to enter the
home of her friend she saw the man
between Davis and White streets on
Oak. and not far from Bibber's home.
1t was but few minutes after that
that she heard the shots which she is
now inclined to believe were fired by
the stranger. Mrs. Teal says she met
the same man on the two previous
evenings, and she also thinks that the
man sat next to her at Music hall one
evening recently She also believes
that she has seen him on the streets,
since Thursday, and says that she
would be able to identify him.
The police consider this a valuable
elew in that Mrs. Teal is an elderly
lazy who has lived here for many
years, and is highly esteemed by those
who know her. Rumors have also
come from some source that strange
man had been seen watching the store
where Bibber was employed on eve
nngs before the murder.
The police have been investigating
clews in Auburn and in locating Mrs.
Myra Bigelow of Golf street, long d
friend of Bibber, secured the statement
ries which. are being circulated about
Bibber's relations with women, and be-
lieves that these furnish no motive for
the mysterious murder. She said that
on Monday evening she had telephone
conversation with Bibber, but nothing
was mentioned which lea her to beliey..
that he was in any trouble or had any
fears.
1t was learned, today, that the watch
which was taken from Bibber's body by
the murderer contained an old photo-
graph of Miss Mamie Ross of Auburn,
to whom Bibber was engaged. but who
died over 20 years ago. 1t was only a
few days previous to the murder that,
in discussing old times with his friend,
Dan Long, a restaurant keeper. that Mi.
Bibber showed him the photograph.
Mr.. Long says: II asked him IL he re-
membered incidents of q years ago when
he introduced Miss Mamie Ross of Au-
burn to friends at the corn roasters'
dance. He said he did.
.sThen he drew from his pocket his
watch, opened it and showed me an old
faded picture of Miss Ross. 1t was oval
in shape and yellow with age. The tears
came to Johns eyes as he looked at H.
Miss Ross was living in Auburn and
worked in the stitching room of the ross
Packard shop She was certainly beau
tiful woman. / remembered that John
accompanied the body to Miss Ross old
home in Houlton and / went to the sta
ton with him
The detectives here under the direction
of the Pinkerton agency are said to have
he
thought that the detectives have clews
which they are unwilling yet to make
known.
The story of the finding of lock OF
woman's hair in an envelope IN the coat
pocket of Mr.. Bibber is without foun-
dation according to the authorities.

Garfield Says
Taft Was There

{ Washington, April Ex-senator Jo-
seph NJ. Dixon, chairman of the Ma
ton Roosevelt committee gave out
James E. Garfield, who was secretary
of the interior in 1907.
MIR. Taft was in absolute accord
with the method that was used i'll
dealing with the investigation and
prosecution of great combinations.
There was no different method used
in dealing with the Harvester Co.,
than with any other corporation.
Mr.. Taft was in full accord with
the idea of making the most thorough
ard careful investigation by the
bureau of corporations before begin
ming prosecution in case where the
officers of the corporation offered and
gave every opportunity to examine
their books and aid the government
in making the investigation. as was
the case with respect to both the Har-
vester and Steel Cos.
Further, the Harvester and Steel
Cos. explicitly waived any question of
immunity such as had arisen in the
Beef case. and they understood that if
the investigations developed facts
justifying prosecution. prosecution
would follow.
Mr. Taft was in absolute accord
with that method. From the time /
was a member of the cabinet, there
was general discussions at cabinet
meetings of this method of procedure
and it was thoroughly understood and
approved by every member of the
cabinet"
