Women are SO active nowadays, and
so much is expected of them, that
they constantly overdo and suffer
from headache, backache, nervousness
and kindred ills.
Such women need Vinol, our deli

A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin of a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.

Origin of a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.
Nine master masons who were en-
gagged in building citadel in the time
of the Voivoid Neagoe found on re-
turning to their work each morning
that the portion Of the wall which they
had completed the day before had fall
en- to pieces during the night and was
lying in heap of ruins in the ditch.
Manol Of Curtea, the head mason, in
formed his comrades one morning that
a voice from heaven had warned him
in his sleep the night before that their
labors would continue to come to
naught unless they all swore on that
very morning to immune in the struc,
ture the first woman, be it wife. moth.
er, daughter or sister, who should ar.
rive with the morning meal of one or
either of them. They all took the oath.
and the last man had hardly been
sworn when Manors own wife appear
ed, carrying her husbands breakfast.
The oath was kept, and the woman,
known in the legend as Flora of the
Fields" was murdered and her blood
and flesh incorporated with the wall Of
masonry.
A curious practice of the Bulgarian
masons the above scene is laid in Bull
garia), which survives to this day, tes-
titles to the vitality OF the legend. To
insure the solidity of the house they
build they measure with a reed the
shadow of the first person who passes
after the digging of the foundation
has been completed. When the foun-
dalton is commenced this reed Is buried
under the first rock, usually the corner
stone.

REVOL TING CRIME
Two Former Columbus, Ind.
Officers Charged With
Killing Two Aged Men.


COLUMBUS, Ind, Feb. 3.-Charged
with the murder of two old men, Hen
ry Morning and J. Rufus Clark, both
former special policemen at North
Vernon, were placed or trial here to-
day. The victims OF the dastardly
crime were John ami Charles Nc
Quad, and SIS and 10 years respective
ly, who were killed at their home in
Jennings county, seen miles from
North Vernon, where they lived with
an elderly invalid sister, on the night
of October 7.
The case was brought to Bartholo-
new county on change of venue
Three men were indicted for the crime
but is is rumored that the third man,
an auctioneer named John Tyler, has
turned states evidence and will not be
tried at this time.
Besides being special policeman
Romine also was a real estate dealer
veteran of the civil war and for
mer Saloonist. Clark also engaged in
the real estate business
About midnight Of October 7, the
aged McQuad brothers were aroused
by men pounding on the door of their
house. One of the intc-ders answered
the who's there" inquiry of Charles
McQuaid by saying that his name was
Charles Woodward; that he had bro
ben a harness and needed assistance.
Charles Woodward was the name Of
one of McQuaid's neighbors and with
out hesitation he lighted a lamp and
opened the door.
Instantly the oil lamp was dashed
from his grasp and be was struck on
the head with a club and shot almost
simultaneously.
John McQuaid, who was afflicted
with locomotor ataXia, struggled to
the assistance of his brother only to
be shot, and almost instantly killed.
The murderers then fled.
Screams Attract Help.
The continued loud screams of the
aged sister, Maggie McQuaid, an in
valid for thirty years in a wheel chair,
brought Willard Spencer, a neighbor
living ninety yards from the scene,
but who did not meet the perpetrators
of the horrible deed.
1t soon was discovered that the tel
ephone wire between the McQuaid
home and North Vernon had been cut
and that a rope attached to a dinner
bell near the house also had been sew
cred
Spencer gave the alarm over a party
telephone line running to the south
ward, and with great haste all the
people hurriedly dressed themselves
and several reached the McQuaid
house just as Charles McQuaid expir-
ed
1t had been supposed that the Nc
quad brothers had several thousand
dollars in their house; but diligent
search showed that considerable less
than $500 remained af,er the crime.
Romine, Clark and Tyler were later
arrested, accused Of the double muir
der. They were taken to Indianapolis
for safe keeping. Several weeks later
Tyler led officers to An old tree near
North Vernon where revolver was
found on the banks of creek. The
officers claim that this weapon was
in Romine's possession at one time,
and that Tyler was with him when he
hid it.
