A doctor pronounced me a we'll preserved woman for my age, all due believe, to Dr. Pierce's aid. MRS. MELINDA E. MILLER.
 If you suffer from baekache. lum- bago, rheumatism, get "Hnuric" now.
 overtrainins Children.
 Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon. a mother as well as a well-known writer, sounds an alarm that perhaps we are inclined to overdo child training in these strenuous times.
 Not mincing her words, she declares that there is appearing a lot of pa thetic rot" with regard to child eul- ture, and that the little people are being fused with and fused over en- tirely too much. She protests against the belief held by so many that a child's mind is an empty space to be filled, remarking that each child has its individuality, and a mind that is being filled in perfectly natural way from birth. She inclines to the the ory that children should not be hedged about by so many dos" and "don'ts, , and should be permitted to go some where and yell.
 While there may be grain of truth in what Mrs Bacon says, for the nat ural tendencies of a child should not be altogether repressed for fear of checking initiative, nevertheless she will find it difficult to convince the public that the able men and women of wide experience engaged in broad gauged child welfare work do not know what they are doing

Verdict.

Frank Williams. better known here
as Skinny" Williams, died at his
cell in the county Jail here at $3.50
o'clock this morning. from acute
alcoholic poisoning brought on by the
consumption OF large quantity OF
whiskey obtained recently in the raid
by prisoners on the cell in which the
alcoholic evidence secured by the
state officers in their roundup OF
,Keokuk temp bars, had been stored.
jail officials found Williams in a
comatose condition in his cell ON
Thursday evening and Dr.. H. A. Kin
naman was called Williams was
pronounced unconscious from alcohol
and from then until the time OF his
death, he did not recover his senses.
Acute alcoholic poisoning was the
verdict of physicians on his death.
Williams, who had the reputation
of being a heavy drinker, had been
without liquor since his Incarceration
in the county jail. some time before,
and drank too much when an unlim-
tied quantity was placed within his
reach through the prisoners raid.
DR.. Kinnaman gave careful atten-
several times a day, but all efforts
to arouse the victim out OF a state Of
coma were unsuccessful. On Satur-
day Dr. S. w. Moorhead was called
in on the case. 1t was found that
there was scarcely any chance for
Williams to get wen. He was kept
alive until this morning by the In
lection of strong snmulants, but
even these at last failed to have their
effect and he died, but not until every
possible effort had been made to
save him.
Jail officials say that Williams
drank at least quart OF whiskey. II
literally poisoned him. physicians
say, as any poison would have done,
besides rendering him unconscious.
Local officials can not be censored
for this regrettable occurance. When
the wet goods taken by the state Of
ficers was brought into the county
jail yard, Deputy Sheriff Montgom-
cry ordered it put in the engine
room of the court house. This would
have been the safest place to unload
the stuff but Special Oficer Terrell.
in charge of the raid, wanted it put
into cell in the jail.
In getting to the liquor, the pris-
oners broke three locks and then
went over the top OF the cell bars.
Frank Williams was about thirty
eight years of age, and was born and
spent all OF his life in this city. He
was not married and is survived by a
brother, George Williams, of Keokuk.
