KILLS CELLMATE AND SELF
Double Tragedy In Reading Jail Fol.
lows Distribution of Knives.

Double Tragedy In Reading Jail Fol
lows Distribution of Knives.
Frank Snavley was murdered in the
Berks county prison at Reading, Pa.
by Michael Puttinger, a cell mate
who cut Snavley's throat. Puttinger
then committed suicide by hanging.
The watchman had distributed the
knives to be used at breakfast. Half
an hour later the meal was served by
the attendants. When the tragedy was
discovered both men were dead. The
cell floor was covered with blood from
the cash in Snavley's neck.
The attack must have been made as
soon as the knives were distributed
There could not have been much of a
struggle, as the prisoners in the next
cells heard no scufle.
Snavley, who was known as
Monk" was serving a year for as.
sault, and Puttinger was serving the
same length of time for assault and
battery and attempt to kill. The Off
cials did not know that there had
been any i'll feeling between the two
men
It is believed that the crime is due
to the fact that the murderer had
heard about the slashing of Leo N.
Frank in the Georgia state peniten-
tiary.

Germans II Miles From Warsaw.

Germans II Miles From Warsaw.
The Germans are seventeen miles
west of Warsaw, according to the lat
est statement issued in Berlin, which
announces the capture of Blonie, at
that point.
The statement also announces the
capture of Ostrolenka, sixty miles
north of Warsaw, and says that the
strategic railroad running from Ra.
dom to Ivangorod, in south Poland
has fallen into the hands of an adj
vance guard of German cavalry The
German advance toward Riga, in Cour'
land, continues unchecked.
Apparently the Grand Duke Nicho.
las, commander in chief of the Rus.
sian armies, is unable to check the
furious onslaughts of the four Ger.
man armies of invasion. Admissions
in the official report of the cars
general staff show that the TeutoniG
allies are advancing on all fronts.
The Muscovites, Petrograd admits,
despite their desperate attempts to
stoy the great forces of Won Beulow,
Won Gallwitz, Won Mackensen and the
Austro-Hungarians driving into Bess.
arabia from western Galicia, are fall
ing back along the whole front.
The Germans operating in Cour
land have reached Tukum, thirty-five |
miles from Riga and 275 miles from
Petrograd. This position is $50 miles
from Warsaw.
Won Mackensen's army has captur.
ed Krasnostav, an important strategic
position only thirty-four miles south
of Lublin and within ten miles of the
junction of the Lublin-Cholm railway,
The capture of this railway would
give Won Mackensen an advantage
which probably would cause the
speedy retirement of the Russians in
that region. KrasnOstav is 10 miles
to the southeast of Warsaw and $50
miles due south OF Petrograd.

Do You Feel Headaehy7
 Look tc Your Stomach

It. is an unusual thing for a drug gist to sell medicine under guarantee to refund the money If it does not cure. Yet this is the way Lee & Osgood, the popular druggists. are selling Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia remedy.
 Never before have they had so large a number of customers tell them that medicine has been successful as with Mi-o-na- People who a few months ago looked like walking skeletons have put on flesh and today are ruddy and vigorous with perfect digestion and good health.
 There IS no longer any need for any, one suffering or making their friends suffer on account of dyspepsia. Mi o-aa can always be relied upon. The percentage of cures is so great that there is little risk to Lee & Osgood in guaranteeing to return the money if the medicine does not relieve. And they stand ready to do so without any questions.
 Headaches, all forms of indigestions specxs before the eyes, dizzy feelings poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all forms of liver trouble are helped by Mf-o-na, A few days treatment should show considerable gain in health while complete cure often fol- lows rapidly.
 These days are the best in the whole year for the enjoyment Of good health, and <Mi-o-na will put you in such perfect condition that you car enjoy every minute of them.
