the people. Advertising signs and
displays of various kinds necessftating
the use Of coal, should be curtailed
and no coal should be distributed for
such purposes.

Are you sure you love the young
man and not his money? To marry for
money does not bring happiness, and
and to marry a man with a rich father
does not insure wealth. 1t Is far safer
to marry man who shows promise Of
being able to earn money himself
Both of you are too young to marry
without the consent of your parents.
The law would not permit such a un-
ion.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl

Mcdonnell was regular fiend in
the treatment of his wife," these
COurtenay citizens told representa-
tive of this paper, asking that their
names be withheld as they did not
care to be connected in any way with
the unsavory case.
Savagery Due to Drink.
"His sayagery was prompted b.
drink, even his most intimate friends
admit. Before mis- marriage he was
a model farm hand, but when he start
ed to drink in 1905, it got the best Of
him..
"Tbose who know the circun-
stances surrounding the affair that
occurred in Foster county declare that
Mcdonnell was drunk at the time. He
came home in bad temper, which
he proceeded to vent on his wife. Nc
Donnell beat her numerically until
she lapsed into Inconsistencies
Then he threw her into corn field
near the house. She told neighbors
and friends afterward that she was
there three days and three nights, un-
conscious practically the entire time
abused so badly that when she did
come to for a few moments at vari-
GUS times she was unable to help her
self or even call for help"
Mcdonnell. the neighbors say. new
er mentioned the beating OF his wife
to anyone, even the children. The
children held such fear Of their father
that they dare not even ask where
their mother was.
Acted Like Cave Man.
AS further facts and circumstances
develop, the facts disclosed when the
case was first unfolded Is given adde:
weight. At that time it was stated
both by Mrs. Mcdonnell herself in an
alleged confession of the murder Of
innocent little Eta, and others who
knew of the circumstances, that Dan
Mcdonnell treated his family like a
caveman, and that all were in con.
stant dread of him.
