After New Job.

Gov. Gardner sought to head off
A. L. Harry of Bloomfield and other
prominent residents Of southeast Mis-
souri,, who came here for the formu-
lation of plans to organize the Sixth
Missouri regiment of the national
guard. They were informed that it
would be useless to come, since no
new units OF the guard will be posi-
BILE, save from authority from the war
department.
A large number of letters were re-
ceived by the governor from men in
various parts of the state, applying
for appointment as officers Of regis
tration under the selective draft bill
passed by congress. Many evidently
think there must be good salary at,
tached to such places. 1t is the gov.
ernors understanding that local Off
Gals will have charge of the regis
tration and that the government will
expect them to donate their services.

Trolley Car Beheads Woman
Mrs. Sarah Wastler Throws
Herself Across Track And IS
Instantly Killed.

After waiting along the railroad track
until the approach of car, Mrs. Sarah
A. Wasrler, wife of David E. Wastler,
of near Yellow Springs, committed sui
eide Tuesday morning by throwing her
self under the wheels of passenger car
on the Thurmont Division of the H. & F.
Railway near the Charlesville crossing.
That suicide was coldly premeditated
the authorities have no doubt. Along the
rail, not three feet distant from the place
where Mrs. Wastler placed her head, was
found the spot where she had been appar-
emily waiting for the car. About 7.3O
the big Thurmont trolley, in charge OF
Motorman Luther HORNE and Conductor
Albert Kefauver, came along on its way
to Thurmont. When the car was hardly
half its length away Mrs. Wastler sprang
from the bushes by finging herself
straight out from her position, and plac-
ed her head on the rail. Before the car
could be stopped, the woman had been
struck.
The head was completely severed from
the body. The upper part of the skull,
minus the hair, was found short dist
ance from the body. A large portion of
the brains was found at another spot.
Sheriff Roderick was notified of the
suicide at once, and with DR.. Ira j. Nc
Curdy, Justice Henry Hanson Maulsby
and Supt. R. Paul Smith, of the H. & F.,
hurried to the scene. DR.. McCurdy made
an examination of the body. Justice
Maulsby, acting coroner, heard the evil
dence, and decided that it was plain
case of suicide. An inquest was deemed
unnecessary
Mrs. Wastler, it is said, was mentally
deranged, and it was reported Tuesday
that she had attempted to take her life
on other occasions.
Traffic on the Thurmont division OF the
railroad was tied up until after the ar
rival of the authorities.
Mrs. Wastler was aged about 62 years.
She is survived by her husband and eight
children.

Sour Stomach.
Eat slowly, masticate your food thor

and in most cases the sour stomach will
disappear. If it does not, take one of
