m. Wednesday night at Alton has resulted in a funeral for one and a probable penitentiary sentence for the other. The circumstances as near as we have found out, are as follows: A crowd was in Hinkley's biliiard hall and Tom LeRock. a well known Alton character, went out the back door into the alley, taking with him some billiard balls One of the players followed him and LeRock told him to ask Hinkley to come out there. In a moment after they heard a shot, and LeRock came back into the room and fell dead.

Hinkley was at once taken into custody and he explains the situation by saying that LeRock asked him if he was ready to die and reached for his pocket. Then, says Hinkley, he shot him without waiting for any further demonstration. Upon Fancy post card albums for Christ mas presents. Come to the Woodston Pharmacy.

B. Church at Liberty has been changed to December 5th and 6th. A Sad Affair- At Ottawa, Kansas, this week occurred a sad ending to another drama of life. Last spring a lai-son between A. E.

Camp of Lanark township and Miss May Cow-ell of Stockton resulted in a disruption between Mr. Camp and his fumily. Later on Camp decamped with his erstwhile mistress and since leaving here has led a nomadic existence, his whereabouts being unknown to former friends until Wednesday morning when the editor of this paper received a long distance telephone message from Ottawa that Camp was in destitute circumstances and that the girl, who was as yet under age, was lying dead. In turn we communicated the intelligence to her parents at Stockton. This is surely a tragical ending to the escapade.

It is another sorrowful chapter in the history of amoro- attachments. The girls parents are poor but honest people, and have tried hard to bring up the daughter in the true and straight path, but love failed to prevail, and a tendency to unholy alliances has resulted in her death, away from home and among strangers. Such occurrences should be- a. forcible lesson to the younger gen-eratioi There is a disposition frequently shown by young ladies to be "fast" and they occasionally seem to think it smart to be in company with men whose overtures toward them are inspired by impure motives. The girl who chums with such men is placing her honor and fair name inHhe balance, and the decision is Keep Your Bofvels Regular and Your Stouiach Sweet People sometimes Imagine when they have liver troubl? or are bilious that the main thing to, do Is to take physic.

Taking pills and keeping your bowels regular are two1; very different matters. The use of a violent cathartic does not mean the cure of Constipation or the establishment of tegular movements. A physic Is an emergency remedy, but never a bowel treatment. If the bowels do not move regularly there Is a reason deeper seated than, the mere clogging up that is removed by a dose of salts or pills. When that drowsy, tired feeling, with the coated tongue, the dull head pains, the sour stomach, the sallow complexion, constipated and touches of fever come on it 4s time to take a medicine that will aot on the bowels gently and mildly, cleansing and strengthening them, stir up the; liver and aid the stomach in digesting the food.

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does this every time. Take a few doses and see how quickly the drowsy feeling leaves, regular bowel movements come back, with a good appetite and perfect digestion, and you soon feel like your old self. It does not gripe nor pain, it acts smoothly, mildly and is very pleasant to take. Wm.

Hinchman, Mesick, says: "I was troubled with indigestion and liver trouble. I have Used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin with fine results. It is a perfect laxative and I now feel as strong and well as formerly." Wm. Block, Ni-antic, 111., says: "Dr.

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best remedy I ever used for liver complaint or constipation." Mrs. R. H. Brown, Addington, Ind. was troubled with torpid liver and constipation.

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin gave her prompt relief. All druggists sell it at 50c and $1.00 per bottle. Pepsin Syrup 306 Caldwell Monticello, 111., is glad to send a free sample to anyone who has never used it and will give it a fair trial. being searched LeRock(s clothing.
