CONVICT WOMAN OF MURDER
Jury at Wellington Returns Verdict
Against Mrs. BerseIy-Kins!ey

After being out only thirty minutes
the jury in the Mrs. Effie Beverly
case at Wellington returned a verdict
Of first degree murder.

Mrs. Beverly, who is "a years old,
has been divorced from her husband
for three or four years. Before shoot

the children lived she hoped they
would fall into good hands.

a consequence you become weak, pale
and sickly looking, just like a plant
trying to grow in soil deficient in iron.
If you are not strong or well, you owe
it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work, or
how far you can walk without becom-
ing tired. Next take two fve-grain
tablets OF ordinary nuxated iron three
times per day after meals for two
weeks Then test your strength again
and see for yourself how much you
have gained. I have, seen dozens OF
nervous, rundown people who were
ailing all the while, double their
strength and endurance and entirely
get rid OF all symptoms Of dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles in from ten to
fourteen days time simply By taking
iron In the proper form And this af-
ter they had In some cases been doc
toring for months without obtaining
any benefit But don't take the old
forms Of reduced iron, iron acetate or
tincture OF iron simply to save a few
cents. You must take iron in q form
that can be easily absorbed and as
simulated like nuxated iron If you want
it TO do you any good, otherwise It
may prove worse than useless.

PERoNNE IS HISTORIC GROUND
In That City Louis XXI Was Forced to
Sign Treaty Which Laid Founda-
ton for Belgium.

The ground wherein the great war
Is being decided is one of the famous
battlefelds of French history. 1t was
called OF old Santerre, the bloody
ground hut never was its name so
true as today. In Peronne, now being
bombarded by the French, two French
kings have suffered Imprisonment
Charles the Simple for six years in the
tenth century, and Louis XI for three
days in the fifteenth century.
The latter incident has more to do
with today's events that it may seem
to have, for King Louis was on a
friendly visit to Charles the Bold Of
Burgundy at Peronne when he was
imprisoned by his host on the charge
Of having stirred up the burghers OF
Liege to revolt, and ne was not re-
leased until he had signed the treaty
Of PerOnne, which freed Flanders
from France and so laid the fOunda-
ton for Independent Belgium
No human being dared remind King
Louis OF this humiIiating experience,
but, strange TO say, the magpieS took
to singing "PerOnne, Peronne" wher-
ever he went, until he recovered the
town. To do this he was obliged to
bride the British to withdraw the army
that had been sent in aid OF the duke
of Burgundy. A payment Of 5000
crowns to Edward " and proportion
ate sums to his ministers won them
over, and a match was arranged be
tween Charles the dauphin and Ed
wards daughter.
Neither king would trust the other
and with good reason-so the parents
of the happy pair met on a bridge
across the Somme, with q strong wood
en- grill between them, through which
they ventured to shake hands.-NeN

pitfalls, is the Advice Given
by Artist.

81. Kemp Prosser, who designed the
two interiors in the French play La
bergette'' at the Garrick theater,
thinks persons who wish to retain
their vitality and nOrmality in war
time should avoid certain colors, says
a London correspondent of the New
York Herald.
Cardinal red," he said, sis the SYM
Dol of murder, hate and cruelty. Sage
green means vileness, and brown de-
cay.
Lemon yellow, on the other hand
suggests to persons who are sensitive
to color influence, light and life. That
is why suggest this color should
dominate color schemes in hospitals
and homes for wounded soldiers.
'In my rest room at Chelsea for sol
diers the symbolical cOlors used were
lemon yellow, mauve, sapphire, tur-
QuOise and blue. A golden piano was
draped with a lemon yellow curtain
on which were embroidered q dove
bearing the emblem of peace, an Egyp-
tan symbol expressing the keys of life
and white rose, emblem of power and
silence. Beautiful lamps repeated the
colors blue, mauve and turquoise"

SPECIAL NOTE-Dr. z. Sauer, we'll
known physician who has studied widely
speciaIly employed to make a thorough
investigation into the real secret of the
Jess Willard, and the marvellous value OF
nuxated iron as a strength builder
NEW YORK.-Upon being inter
viewed at his apartment in the Colon
ial Hotel, Mr.. Willard said: Eyes, 1
have a chemist with me to study the
value of different foods and products
as to their power to produce great
strength and endurance, both OF which
are so necessary in the prize ring. On
his recommendation I have often TAX
en- nuxated iron and have particular
" advocated the free use of iron by
all those who wish to obtain great
physical and mental power. Without
it am sure that I should never have
been able to whip Jack johnson so
completely and easily as I did, and
while training for my fight with Frank
Moran 1 regularly took nuxated iron,
and am certain that it was a most
important factor in my winning the
fight so easily" Continuing, DR.. Sauer
said: ''Mr. Wizards case is only one
Of hundreds which could cite from
my own personal experience which
proves conclusively the astonishing
power Of nuxated iron to restore
strength and vitality even in most COM
plicated chronic conditions
Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old, and
asked me to give him a preliminary
examination for life insurance. I was
astonished to find him with the blood
pressure OF a boy of 20 and as full OF
vigor, vim and vitality as a young man
in fact, young man he really was,
Notwithstanding his age The secret
he said was taking fron-nuxated iron
had filed him with renewed life. At
30 he was in bad health; at 46 care
worn and nearly all in. Now at so q
miracle OF vitality and his face BEAM
ing with the buoyancy Of youth. As I
have saitz a hundred times over iron
Is the greatest OF all strength builders.
If people would only throw away pat
ent medicines and nauSeous eoneOc-
tons and take simple nuxated iron, I
am convinced that the lives Of thons-
ands Of persons might be saved who
now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, consumption, kidney, liver and
heart trouble, etc The real and true
cause which started their diseases was
nothing more or less than q weakened
condition brought on by lack OF iron
I'm the blood Iron is absolutely neces-
sary TO enable your blood to change

matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you

Trains Can't Go Too Fast.

An eastern railroad which includes
many steep grades along its lines has
adopted new scheme to overcome the
danger from the momentum q heavily
loaded train sometimes gains in run
ming down grade. A spur track has
been built at the foot of such a grade
and an automatic switch sends any
train that is going too fast up this
branch. If the approaching train comes
along at safe speed nothing will in
terfere with It's progress. If it is going
too fast when it passes a block a GER
tain distance above the switch, it is
automatically sent up the spur track,
where it remains until pulled off.

when the times comes for me to
go want to go just like that"
This statement was made the other
day by James 1. Brelsford, cashier Of
the Farmers and Merchants State
bank at Kinsley when he heard that a
close friend had died suddenly in bed
that morning. The next morning
Brelsford's wife heard him gasp and
when she investigated found he was
dead. Mr.. Brelsford was a pioneer
western Kansas banker and was wide
~ known through that section.
A perplexing incident in connection
with his death was the fact that the
cashier was the only one who could
open the banks vault, and it was nee
essary to wire the safe company to
send an expert from Cincinnati.

There are few of the corporations
coming under this department which
the state could not get along without"
said SeatiOn. by limiting the promo
