threatened to shoot the first man who
tried to enter. Adams is said to have
led the attack and was killed. Harri-
son and Bigby were shot in a battle
following.
Brother Bigby evidently was break
ing the law in the way Of kissing and
hugging another mans wife, but that
fact was up to the courts to handle
him, and it was not the duty of violat-
ors of the law to set in judgment on
his moral or immoral acts, and he
proved himself to be a real man by de-
tending his own home.-Editor.

ing Mr.. Carr's incumbency resulted in
a saving of $750OOO, despite the fact
that the work has been increased
10 per cent each year.
The cash registers and auditing ma
chimes installed by Mr.. Carr have en-
abled the County Treasurer to audit
and balance his records daily, and this
year, for the first time, he will be able
to make complete and final distribu-
ton of all taxes collected at or before
the end of the fiscal term, December
lst, 1926. This will prove a tremend-
GUS benefit to all the taxing bodies in
the City of Chicago and Cook county,
as it will enable them to retire their
tax anticipation warrants at an earlier
date, thus saving thousands of dollars
Of interest which had heretofore ac-
crued and in addition making it posi-
bic 70 meet all their financial obliga-
tions promptly. This in itself is the
most remarkable improvement ever
achieved in the office Of the County
| Treasurer.
These cash registers and auditing
machines above referred to were the
first machines manufactured and in

the school children and to relieve the
financial difficulties of the Chicago
Board of Education and other school
boards of the county, County Treasurer
P. J. Carr and his assistant, Jacob
Lindheimer, went before the last gen
eral assembly and procured the adop-
ton Of an amendment to the state law
providing for the payment to school
boards of interest earned on school
taxes.
The passage of the above amend
ment in very commendatory resolu-
ton by unanimous vote of the Board
Of Education Of Chicago, a copy of
which was sent to Mr.. Carr and Mr..
Lindheimer.
The new amendment to the law in
effect since July lst, 1925, has enabled
the County Treasurer already to turn
over to the Board of Education of Chi
cago $l07, 900 in interest earned as OF
December 1st, 1925. The school dis
tricts outside OF Chicago in Cook
county are being paid their pro rata

The celebrated assault case arrived

Wednesday, and from its beginning to
its end it was full of many thrills, and
the following is short account of its
sad and disgraceful ending to the
fond and loyal parents Of young Rich,
who always had more money to spend
than for his own good, for at all times
he had plenty of money to spend for
whisky and fast living, and with scorn
and contempt he looked down upon all
young women who failed to fall for
him and his whisky.
Mason, Michigan.-Arthur c. Rich,
millionaire's son, was found guilty Of
criminally assaulting Louise King, 20

I said, Well, any one got a doubt?
No one had.
The severity of the sentence, the
maximum prescribed by law, came as
shock in spite of Judge ColIingwood's
reputation for severity. The defense
had every confidence its motion for a
stay would be granted.
Miss King said she probably would
return to Battle Creek college and
continue her studies in dietetics.

guilt. He suggested that each of them
ponder the situation and see if he could
recall any evidence which might cast
some doubt.

ASHEvILLE, N. c., April g.
That classic mystery, What became
of Charlie Ross?" may yet be
solved.
A new claimant has appeared. He
is julius Coleman Dellinger of Shell
by, N. C.
For years Dellinger thought he
was the son of L. D. Dellinger, who
is buried in Birmingham, Ala. Now
he thinks he may be that long lost,
almost mythical Charlie Ross
Charlie, 4-year-old son of a Phila-
delphia millionaire, was kidnapped
July 1, 1874 A nationwide search
followed. Scores Of claimants have
appeared-in vain.
Now comes Dellinger with a pic
ture Of himself taken In Gaffney,
S. c., in 1875, where he was living
with one J. II. McHale. McHale fled
the town with him one night, on
learning that the citizens, aroused
by the child's resemblance to pic
lures of Ross, planned to take him
to Philadelphia.
The ancient tintype, Dellinger
hopes, will prove his claim when
compared with photos of the au-
thentic Charlie Ross.

Constipation!
How to Keep
Bowels Regular

To DIR. w. B. Caldwell Of Month
cello, Ill, a practicing physician for
AZ years, it seemed cruel that so
many constipated men, women,
children and particularly old folks,
had to be kept constantly stirred
up" and half sick by taking cathartic
pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty
oils.
While he knew that constipation
was the cause Of nearly all head
aches, biliousness, indigestion and
stomach misery, he did not believe
that sickening purge" or "physic"
was necessary.
In DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which helps to
establish natural bowel regularity

pated. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
