"vVolcott is characterized as an Irreparable s loss to the state and the nation. Approves Suppression of Disorder.

A handcar load ed with trackmen of the Wheeling & Lake Brie Railroad ran off an open draw of the Maumee bridge tonight and all on the car were drowned. The number of men on the car Is said to have been 12. So far two bodies have been recovered. It is impossible to learn what prompted the fatal ride, as the men, who have not been identified, delberately took (the car and were under no orders. The men, when first seen In the yards, were ordered off the track by Yardmaster Thomas, but the men refused to obey him. On one of the bodies recovered was found a letter from Italy. W. W. Smith, chief clerk to the train dispatcher of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, said: "The men were running without any authority, and it is my belief they stole the car below Trowbridge. Tomorrow is payday, and It is Just possible the men came to Toledo to be here when the pay train was made up in the morning. Ac cording to my Judgment, there were ten men on the car. It was well loaded. The yardmaster yelled to them to get off the track, and as they passed the office here the operator notified them of the open draw."

SUSPECT A MURDER Missing Philadelphia Girl Is Traced to Private Hospital. PHYSICIAN IS -ARRESTED Dr. W. W. Turver, of Buffalo, Asked to Explain Possession of Ger trude Knight's Clothing. Linen Blood-Stained. BUFFALO, N. T.t Sept. 14 Dr. W. W. Turver, who conducted hospitals for women at 101 Niagara street and 723 Pros pect avenue, In this clty.Js a prisoner at police headquarters, and the police are trying to unravel the mystery of the sud den disappearance of Gertrude Knight, of Philadelphia, from . his Niagara - street apartment, where large amounts of blood stained clothes and bedding was found. The police, were first attracted to. Dr.. Turver's Niagara-street place on Wednes day morning, when, following a quarrel with Miss Geddea, .his head nurse. Dr. Turver went through the place with an ax smashing furniture and windows. While Investigating the cause of the dis turbance the police found a bed with blood and a furnace partly filled with blood-soaked cotton. It was learned that a patient who gave her name as Gertrude Knight, of .Philadelphia, occupied the room on Tuesday. Miss Geddes, the nurse, told District Attorney Abbott that the patient left the hospital on Wednesday and took the 11 A. M. train for Philadelphia. Her testimony In this respect is partly con firmed by Mrs. Ayres, a housekeeper, . to whom Dr. Turver sent some of his . pa tients. She said a woman came to her place Tuesday night, and left for . Phil adelphia, Wednesday. She did not know her name, however. ... While investigating the Knight case the police learned that Edith Pinner, of Ho boken, N. J., died at the Prospect-avenue hospital, September 8. Miss Pinner's body was shipped to her home at Hoboken,. N, J., by Undertaker M. J. Prouty. In the last year Prouty stated he has burled six women and two children for Turver. It was first suspected that the Pinner woman and the woman who disappeared from the Niagara-street place were trie same. This theory was dismissed yester day when a trunk found In. the Niagara street hospital was opened by the police It was filled with women's fine clothing and a bundle of letters addressed to Ger trude Knight. All the unexplained cir cumstances that now remain have to do with her. Physicians consulted by the police doubt the statement regarding Miss Knight's sudden departure from Turver's place. Miss Geddes, upon being taken to the District Attorney's office, admitted that Dr. Turver's sally with an ax followed a quarrel with her, but steadfastly declined to divulge the cause of their trouble. PINNERS SVSPECT NO CRIME Confident Their Daughter Died In . Hospital From Natural Causes. NEW YORK, Sept. 14. Miss Edith Pinner was a daughter, of J. Pinner, of 507 Washington street, Hoboken, N. J. The fatner has been a business man of standing for SO years. Mrs. Flatow, a sister of the dead girl, speak ing for the family, said: "We are satisfied that my sister died from heart disease. I was with her when -she died. I took her to Smith Hall, Just outside of Buffalo, for treat ment. She was suffering from neuras thenia and heart trouble. She' was very sick when we left Hoboken. She died on Saturday, and I brought the body home on Sunday. I do not know this Dr. Turver you speak of." When told that the cause of death as given on the death certificate was childbirth. Mrs-. Flatow said that this was certainly a. blunder that a great mistake had been made. Harry, Pin ner, a brother, said: "My sister Edith was 24 years of age.- She first went to Philadelphia, where her sister lives, and where she remained six weeks. A doctor in Buf falo was recommended They brought her heme Sunday and we buried her Wednesday. It is a very sad matter for all of us. The cause of death was given as blood poisoning, following an operation for appendicitis. She told us that she was married, but would never reveal the name of her husband."

Better direct your apprehension toward the hairs immediately surrounding the spot, for they will be the first to go, unless you kill the dandruff germ and keep it out of the scalp with Newbro's Herpicide. The time to save your hair is while you have hair to save. Extraordinary results some times follow the continued use of Newbro's Herpicide. Doctor Waterhouse, a well known physician of Iowa, and a member of the firm of Dyer & Waterhouse, advised the Rev. R. N. Toms, Pastor of the First Pres bvterian Church at Charter Oak, Iowa, to use NEWBRO'S HERPI CIDE; read his letter about it. Messrs. Dyer & Waterhouse, Drug gists, Charter Oak, Iowa: Gentlemen: The Herpicide you recommended to me for use as a remedy for dandruff and baldness has proved a great success. I have used only one bottle and the result is surprising. The scalp has been thoroughly cleansed from dandruff, the old hair has softened and strengthened; while short, soft hair has already appeared in the bald spots; and I have been greatly relieved from headaches. I most earnestly recommend all afflicted, as I have been to try NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE. (Signed) Rev. R. N. TOMS, Pastor First Presbyterian Church, Charter Oak, Iowa. At Drug: Stores.

A wise doctor tries to give nature its best chance by savins; the little strength of the already exhausted patient, and building up wasted energy with simple but powerful nourishment. "Five years agoi" wnites a doctor, "I commenced to use Postum in my own family Instead of coffee. I was so well pleased with the results that I had two grocers place It in stock, guaranteeing Its sale. "I then commenced to recommend It to my patients. In place of coffee, as a nutri tious beverage. The consequence Is, every store In town Is now selling It, as it has become a household necessity in many homes. "I'm sure I prescribe Postum as often as any one remedy in the Materia Medlca In almost every case pf Indigestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best results. "When I once introduce it Into a family, it is quite sure to remain. I shall continue to use it and prescribe It in families where I practice. "In convalescence from pneumonia, ty phoid fever and other cases, I give It as a liquid, easily absorbed diet. You may use my letter as a reference any way you see fit." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, -Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. "There's a reason." NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING IS GOOD, BUT PERSONAL, TESTI MONY IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER. How Would You Spend $2000 if You Wanted to Advertise Something? For Instance Pianos? The Reed-French Piano Co. (they're In the Commonwealth building) say the best way to reach the public Is to get the pub lic reaching for you. What brings this about? It's mutual con fidence! Look, at our splendid little $190 piano and tell us what you think of It to a month. C There is no profit in selling a good piano for $190.00 but there is a profit in getting the pianos in homes where the pianos talk for themselves and incidentally they, talk for us. J If a business man has a couple of thousands of dollars to put into advertising, in our opinion, he could get more response from the public by giving four or five hundred dollars of the appropria tion to the newspapers and turn the balance back to the public, in some legitimate way. What do you think of this? fl TVe have, (at least, we had), two carloads of the daintiest little pianos you ever saw they are well built well toned well recommended. . . . "VVe have already placed fourteen of them in Port land homes. To have done this we have paid the newspaper people about a hundred dollars, but we have given back, as a standing advertisement to the people of this community at least four hundred dol lars, which would ordinarily have been our profit on these instruments. 3 We have 7 of these $190.00 instruments left. Don't think they are cheap looking they are not but they are small (4 feet 1 inch high) . CJ Can you use one ? I Then come in. 5 $190.00 for a brand new Piano $5.00 a month send it back if you don't like it, or if your friend doesn't like it Send it back if anybody doesn't like it, excepting, of course, our friend, the compet itor, he doesn't think very' well of it.
