The Conclusion of Bos

St. Louis, June 24.—The Ar

come to the conclusion that all
the zinc district of Arkansas

capital. We have already in
vested some in the district, and
1 shall invest more.”

UNNECESSARY,

Mrs. Era Bartho, 133 East 12th street,
New York City, N. Y., writes:
“I suffered for three years with leucor
rhea and ulceration of the womb. The
doctor advocated an operation which 1
dreaded very much, and strongly object
ed to go under it. Now I am a changed
woman. Peruna cured me; it took nine
bottles, but I felt so much improved I
kept taking it, as I dreaded an operation
so much. 1 am to-day in perfect health
a/nl have not felt so well for fifteen
fears.”—Mrs. Eva Bartho.
It is no longer a question as to whether
Peruna can be relied on to cure ail such
cases. During the many years in which
Peruna has been put to test in all forms
and stages of acute and chronic catarrh
do one year has put this remedy to great
ar test than the past year.
If all the women who are suffering
with any form of female weakness would
write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio,
ind give him a complete description of
their symptoms and the peculiarities of
their troubles, he will immediately reply
with complete directions for treatment,
tree of charge.

SAYS GOD TOLD
HER TO MURDER.
Negress Kills Her 11-Year-Old
Daughter Near Brinkley as
a Sacrifice to Her Imagi
nary Diety.
Brinkloy, June 24.—A negress|
named Emily Williamson shot
and killed her daughter about 11
o’clock yesterday. The shooting:
was done with a single barreled
breech loading gun and the i
charge entered the left side of
the girl’s head under the eye,
going through and tearing off
the back of her head.
Her reason for killing the girl,
she said, was that God told her
to do so, that she was intended
for a sacrifice. She picked the
girl up after killing her and car
ried her to the house and laid the
body on the floor in the middle
of. the room. She then took
the twin brother of the girl and
set him down in the same place
where she killed the girl and
shot at his forehead, but missed
him. The boy ran and she she t
at him the second time without
effect.
She was determined to kill i
both children as she said God
had told her to do, as they were
only sacrifices. The woman was
married when 19 years of age
and is the mother of twelye chil
dren.
The shooting occurred on a
farm about three miles south of I
this city. The section hands and I
bridge gang prevented further
shooting. The woman was ar
rested and turned over to the
coroner for safe keeping.

gro Jeff Price Shot Through
Heart — Slayer Is
at Large.
De Queen, June 24. — Jeff Price,
i an old citizen and one of the
most prominent farmers of this
county, was shot and killed at
his home this morning by John
Price, his nephew. The latter
j is said to be demented, and only
a few days ago his uncle secured
1 his release from the county jail!
and took him to his home to care
for him. While of alleged un- j
j sound mind, young Price was not ■
considered dangerous.
Both men had been working in
a field where a negro was also!
working. John Price had quar
reled with the negro, and left for j
the house, where he procured a j
shotgun. His uncle, expecting
trouble, started back to the house
to intercept him. They met in a
narrow trail, and the eider Price
was shot through the heart, dy
ing almost instantly.
Young Price fled, still in pos- •
session of the gnu. The sheriff \
and posse are searching for him. -
He was tracked for naif a mile,
where the trail was lost, and he
is still at large. |
