Tragic Death Of Beulah
Carpenter.

! Nervous and G.sheartened-tor-
tured with the knowledge that her
'condition would soon expose her to
the criticism of cold and unthink-
ing world, and abandoned by the man
who was the cause of all her trouble
and who was then walking care-free
in the streets of Picayune, Miss,
little Beulah Carpepnter, scarcely 16
years of age, ended her life by swal-
lowing strychn.ne at Lewisburg last
Saturday evening
Mr.. T. NJ. Carpenter moved with
his family to ewisburg from Pic
ayune "a short time ago. The men
of the family are all mill men and
Beulah's mother is dead. \, lille she
was watched with fatherly care, and
was not known to go out much, ex-
cept to church>on Sunday, she had
managed to get acquainted with and
to fall in love with man in Pic
ayune, whose name is not made
known, for legal reasons. The
sequel shows that he accomplished
her ruin
When it was found that Beulah
had taken poison Dr. Van Zant was
called in and worked hard to save
her life, but the deadly poison had
already too strong a hold to relieve
her, and she died at o'clock Sun
day morning. Beulah said she had
taken the poison from the bottom
of her fathers trunk, but Mr.. Car
penter said that he had used the last
of the poison in his trunk about two
years ago, and at that time had
scrapeG the bottom of the bottle in
order 10 get the amount he needed.
So it is a mystery just how Beulah
obtained enough to end her life, and
it is suspected that she obtained it
somewhere else.
Coroner Heintz viewed the body
and accepted the certificate of DR..
Van Zandt that death was due to
poison. Mr.. Carpenter is very bit
ter in his feelings against the man
who caused Beulh's ruin, and he
is determined to bring him to JUS
tice. Under the law no prosecution
can be made in Louisiana for seduc-
tion accomplished in Mississippi. so
he will have the body exhumed at
his own expense so that Coroner
Heintz may hold an autopsy to prove
positively that Beulah was in a few
to become a mother.
this evidence in shape for prosecution,
he will return to Mississippi and see
that the man suffers the penalty of
his crime.
1t has transpired that Beulah
wrote to this man to ask if he could
not send her something to relieve her
from her condition It might turn
out that she in this way got the POI
son.
Beulah was buried in Vaudeville

HEALTH PAST FIFTY

Careful diet is Of utmost importance to
men and women past fifty years Of age;
It keeps up their strength, and the OIL
food in Scott's Emulsion is a nourishing
food, a curative medicine and sustaining
tonic to regulate the functions.
It contains the medicinal fats of pure
cod liver oil and science proves that they
furnish twice as much energy as other
foods-then too, it creates pure blood,
sharpens the appetite, relieves rheuma-
tism, strengthens the body and alleviates
the ailments due to declining years.
Scott's is free from wines, alcohol or
harmful drugs. Beware of substitutes.
