 I do not really feel that I am over 40. worklon my farm every day and I feel as strong as I ever did in my life. To the unfortunates of this class will say that everybody connected with the sanatorium is kind and considerate and give the patients every care and at tention. The James Sanatorium is truly home for the whisky and drug users, and they treat their patients as sick people and not as insane or criminals The physicians give every dose of medi- cine and visit the patient personally, or the patient can call on the physicians day or night and they will receive prompt attention. Inexperienced nurses are not allowed to administer medicines of any kind at the James Sanatorium as is done at similar institutions; they simply wait on and look after the pa- tients. The doctors are experienced and know their business and do their duty to all. The ladies' department, where there were a number of ladies under treatment, I found to be under the care of competent matron, assisted by experienced female nurses Wishing you every success, I am your devoted friend and patient.

 Charles B. James Sanatorium Co.,, Memphis, Tenn, Gentlemen About six years ago I was suffering with asthma to such an extent that I often thought would smother. Finally my family physician. after trying everything else, gave me morphine in small doses, hypo- derRically--these doses were gradually increased as it was the only thing that seemed to give me relief. lived in the country, about three and half miles from my physician, and as it was rather costly to have a physician visit me ev- . cry time took a dose, I soon began to put it in my arm myself, and it was not more than 12 months before l had run my daily dose up to 10 grains. This was the amount I was using when I went to you for treatment. After I became used to the drug it did not seem to relieve my asthma, as it did Tat first I lost my appetite, could not sleep, became constipated and fell off to 140 pounds.

Might Be Better

The banking situation might be bet ter. There Is a general plethora of loanable money, it is true, but would be borrowers must have unusual credit to secure accommodations, out of the ordinary. It may be said in this con nection, however that most of those who can borrow for business purposes do not press the banks They are usually members of the prudence and patience class.
 Railroads seem to be in a mood to ad- here to the policy of unusual economy at every point until accorded more gen. erous treatment by the politicians. New bond issues are not pressure on in- vestors. Engravers are having an easy time.
 Money prophecy is to the effect that whatever surplus there may be it will be in healthy demand around the be- ginning of the new fiscal year, July l, at attractive interest rates.
 An interesting feature of the bond market is the preference given mu- nicipal issues by brokers and investors generally There are no commissions created to kill credit in that quarter

death by drowning last July that they
scattered $50 worth of roses on the
water and didn't stop talking about
what a fine fellow he was for almost

up to William Farrell, who owns a ho-

Bill nearly had a fit, because he was
one of the contributors to the flower

THE BUILDING FIRED.

manager of the Farmers Co-opera-
tive Lumber company in this city,
and Miss Blanche Signal, the firms
bookEeeper, were murdered in the
lumber yard Office here some time
time Thursday night. The unknown
assailant then set fire to the build
ing and the structure was complete
ly destroyed.
The charred remains of the man
and woman were found in the ere
ruins early yesterday morning. The
bodies were lying side by side and
the hands and feet of both victims
had been tied with wire. Miss Sig
nails skull had plainly been crushed
with a claw hammer. which was
found nearby. MI. Menzie's skull
also had been fractured with some
blunt instrument.
Although the skull fracture in
both cases were sufficient to have
caused death, it is assumed that the
murderer "a not convinced that
the blows had been effective and
bound the victims to prevent any
possibility of them gaining con
seriousness and making their escape
from the fire.
While all sorts of theories ana
opinions are rife around this city,

motive was merely one of robbery
or OF revenge.
Advocates of the e theor5
allow their conjectures to cover a
wide range of possibilities VITA yery
little of a definite nature on when
to base conclusion. Their theories
revolve around these general propo-
sitions:
1. That the murder is the culmin-
alton of feelings aroused in the pro-
secution of the so-called lumber
trust cases, in which Mr.. Menzie was
the chief complainant.
2. That it might have been a fren-
zied, jealous manifestation on the
part of some man or IN
Mr.. Menzie and Miss Signal were
last seen alive about s o'clock when
they went to the office to work. A
meeting of the company stockhold-
ers had been called and the man
ager and bookkeeper had a large
amount of extra work in prospect in
preparing a complete showing of the
company affairs to submit at this
meeting.
Although the county ana
sheriff arrived here to make an in
vestigation of the crime, it is not GER
tain hat an inquest will be held un-
til a little more time has been spent
in the effort to line up a specific
theory. The fire was discovered
about 1870 O'Clock and the theory
of the local authorities is that the
murder was committed between 10
and III o'clock. 1t is supposed that
the murderer lost no time in tying
up the victims and firing the
building after striking the fatal
blows.
So far as known no large sums OF
money had been kept about the
building, such as would incite an at
tack of this kind. 1t is supposed
however, that the manag and
bookkeeper did have the cash on
hand before them in the process OF
checking up a final balance and the
possibility is conceded that some in
dividual, peering into the Office win
dow, might have been moved to the
attack.
In connection with the robbery
theory the killing of Miss Signal is
taken to point TO some local person.
The view taken OH this point is that
a stranger would have been salts
fed after fell lg the man AID would
naturally rely on intimidating the
woman. On the other hand a local
person. in fear of recognition, would
have been inclined to kill the wo-
man as well.
