ILLINOIS STATE SECRETARY
Puts Bullet in Head-Cause Of tho
Suicide Is Unknown.

Springfield, Ill.,, Oct. 12.-Secre-
tary of State Harry Woods, one of
the Democratic Senatorial candidates
at the September primary and former
operator on the Chicago Board Of
Trade, killed himself early yesterday.
His body, with a bullet wound in the
forehead and pistol in the right
hand, was discovered early to-day In
n garage at the rear of his residence.
The hnd was made by Mrs Woods
and neighhor whom she called when
she became alarmed at her husbands
absence.
No note OF explanation was LETT By
Woods and the only clue which would
give possible indication for cause
for the act was bundle Of papers
showing extensive dealings with
Chicago brokerage house.
Mrs. Woods would assign no mo-
tive for her husbands deed.
j. j. Coffey, assistant chief clerk
in the auditors office, was put In
charge of the Office Of the Secretary
Of State.
An examination of the accounts Of
the office will be started immediately.
The last return of fees to the State
treasury by Secretary Woods was on
June 80, when the total was $780,
536 for the quarter. No return had
been made for the quarter ending
September 80.
Woods friends attribute his pecul-
iarities,to the effects Of a blow on the
head he received in a political feud
fight in Chicago several years ago, in
which Representative John McLaugh-
lin was said to have struck him.
Woods fell out with Governor
Dunno soon after he assumed office,
and he had been violent in his denun-
citation Of the Governor ever since.
He also had frequent clashes with the
State Civil Service Commission, and
discharged employees without refer
ence to the commission, though they
were under civil service.

CHILD BORN
 WITH HARD COLD
Remarkable Statement of Girls Mother. How She Suf- fered Until Six Years Old. How Finally Cured,

Pittsfield, Mass.-" My little girl now six years old was born with hard cold and very delicate. Every winter she would suffer from croup and poor diges- tion. Dr. Currier recommended Vinol and within a week she had improved considerably, and her appetite increased so she wanted things to eat that had disgusted her before.
 "On the first bottle she gained one and one-half pounds, and now at the age of six Vinol has made her solid, healthy, good-natured child, and while sick she was so cross and fretful grew discour- aged and was worn out taking care of her. Mrs. GEORGE WAGNER, Pitts field, Mass.
 Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, is wonderful appetizer, and you can see delicate, ailing children improve day by day under its use. It enriches the blood, builds up the body, making pale, delicate children rugged and rosy.
 We ask all parents of weak, sickly, delicate children in this vicinity to try Vinol, with the understanding that if it fails to benefit your little ones, we return your money.
