Wellston.—A dispute over the di-
vision of a quarter section of school
land and other domestic trouble led
Everett Norris, a young farmer living
five mileB southwest of this town, to
start on a wholesale killing expedi-
tion and before he had finished, his
father-in-law, W. W. Riley, was dead
and his father, Frank Norris, and a
young man named Alcorn, a brother-
in-law, were dangerously wounded.
Both will die. Norris is in jail.
The shooting took place on the
farms of Norris and Riley between
11 and 12 o'clock. The young man
used a rifle, shooting his father-in-
' law through the head, killing him in-
stantly, his father was shot five times
in the head and body and Alcorn once
in the body. Young Norris, who is
about 25 years of age, was arrested
and taken to the county jail at Chand-
ler, where he is held on a charge of
murder.
Norris and his wife, a daughter of
Riley, had been separated for some
time. This had led to his domestic
troubles with his father-in-law. Then
all members of the family had quar-
reled regarding the school quarter on
which Norris lived. Three years ago
Norris attacked his father with a
knife and he has been in several
other difficulties.
Columbia. Tenn —Mrs. Jessie Sharp,
ef this town, says: i was a Buflerer
from womanly troubles for five years,
and it got me down so. 1 could not do
any of my work. Would have to lie in
bed nearly all the time. When I
would sit down, couldn't get up. with-
out pulling at'something to help me
I would do a little work, and have
to go to bed for an hour.
1 would have those awful trembly
spells, and a swimming in my head 1
surely felt that 1 had rather be dead,
than be in my condition.
I finally wrote tc the Ladies Ad-
visory Department, of the Chattanooga
Medicine Co.. and they advised me to
try Cardui. the woman's tonic, for my
troubles. 1 did and now 1 am sound
and well of all my troubles. The sec-
ond bottle helped me so much, that I
didn't have to go to bed any more.
I certainly feel that Cardui is worth
its weight in gold to every suffering
woman."
If you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments so common to women,
try Cardui.
For more than 60 years, Cardui has
been used with entire satisfaction, by
hundreds of thousands of weak and
ailing women. It will surely help you,
too.

GRAVE CRIME DUE TO LOVE
First Bank Note Forgery Was by Eng-
lishman Who Needed Money for
His Marriage.
Woman Assassinated at El Reno.
El Reno—For the first time in two j
weeks Mrs. Susie Doss failed to at-
tend the union revival services being
conducted here by Lincoln McConnell.
and shortly after 10 o'clock she was
found dead in her home with a bullet
in her head by C. E. Doss, husband,
who is a clerk in the Rock Island
division offices. Doss was arrested,
charged with the killing.
Mrs. Doss was sitting in a rocking
chair in the home between 9 and 10
o'clock, reading a Bible, when a bul-
let crashed through the screen and
glass doors amLstruek her just behind
the right ear. It went almost through
the head, breaking the skull on the
opposite side. A 10-year-old daughter,
asleep in another room, was not awak-
ened by the shot.
That, after working during the even-
ing in his office. Doss went home and
found his wife murdered was the story
he told when he aroused neighbors an
hour later. He apparently was grief-
stricken. Officers w ere summoned, an
investigation started and Doss was
arrested.
Rev. Lincoln McConnell. who has
been conducting a revival here went
to Mr. Doss and had a long talk with
him and McConnell announced at the
revival that the man had confessed.
The officers found his gun, a .41 Colts,
in the basement of the Rock Island
building where Mr. Doss' office was
located and this, together with the
other bits of evidence that had been
picked up during the day. formed
strong chain of circumstantial evi-
dence that convinced the officers they
were on the right trail.
Doss was taken out of town and
it is not known where he is. Consid-
erable talk of lynching was heard and
the sheriff didn't care to take any
chances.
The first bank note forgery was
committed for love s sake. Richard
William Vaughan, a solicitor's clerk,
wished to marry his employer's daugh-
ter. One of the conditions imposed
was that he should produce a thousand
pounds and settle half of it upon his
wife to be. He took a month's leave
of absence, presumably to obtain the
required money from his mother, but
instead, spent the time in making an
engraved impression of a £20 Bank
of England note.
With 50 of these sham notes, he pre-
sented himself at the appointed time,
and the marriage arrangements were
proceeded with Unfortunately, he re-
quired some ready money, and put two
of the false notes into circulation.
They were promptly challenged and
Vaughan arrested
What was to have been his wedding
day he spent in the condemned cell,
and he suffered the extreme penalty
at Tyburn in April, 1758.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose ' mother insisted
on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, bow you fought
against taking them
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic Bimply don't realize whut they
do. The children's revolt 1b well-found-
ed. Their tender -little "insides" are
Injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing give only deli .
clous "California Syrup of Figs " Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the .liver and bowels and sweet-
en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs." which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-upB plainly
on each bottle Adv.
Extraordinary Dishes.
Mrs. Dan Crauford, whose book
"Thinking Black" has created consld
erable controversy, mentioned some
extraordinary Central African "dishes"
in the course of a recent lecture.
TheBe included stewed elephant'B
trunk, roast rhinoceros foot, boiled
hippo tongue (stewed 48 hours to
make it tender*, roast wild donkey,
stewed monkey, roast water rat. head,
tail, and all, and the luscious morsel,
which a chief provided as a state
delicacy, of a mess of thousands ol
white antB, frizzled in their own fat,
like a sort of Central African white-
bait. Also there was a special dish,
much favored, of starchy boiled grass,
"green and glutinous.
Mrs. Crauford also told of the Cen-
tral African "knuts." The young
bridegroom wore a necklace of teeth
and hairs of the elephant's tail, and a
fur boa, which any West Lnd lady
would envy, of squirrel skins, gray
and white, the toilet being completed j
possibly—for all European garments
were fashionable—by one of Mrs. Dan
Crauford's skirts specially lent for the
occasion.
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray.
Faded, Lifeless Hair.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear-
ance. this simple mixture waB applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug Btore for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry. itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every-
body uses Wyeth'B Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell It has been
applied—it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an-
other application or two, It is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant—Adv.

El Paso.—Maximo Castillo, the Mex
ican bandit, charged with responsi
bility for the Cumbre tunnel disaster,
in which ten Americans and forty-one
others lost their lives, was captured
thirty-eight miles Bouth of Nachita,
N. M., by American troops. With the
bandit were six of his followers who
surrendered without a fight. They
will be brought here for safe keep-
ing.
Whether the prisoner shall be sur-
rendered to the rebels is a legal ques-
tion which remains to be gettled. If
this is done there is no doubt that he
will be executed for the Cumbre dis-
aster. He is not charged with any
crime on this side.
Castillo set fire to a freight train
in the Cumbre tunnel two weeks ago
The cars were burning when a pas-
senger train crashed into it and every
life aboard was lost. The tunnel still
is burning, and railroad traflic is sus-
pended.
