money from John Amlcon. of Columbus.
Marflsi is known to have been in Italy

was assassinated there. He returned
from Italy about two months ago.
He Is said to be the agent of the Lima

been preceded to Italy by Barney Boniti.
a Dennison fruit dealer, who sold his
store there at a sacrllice and fled to es
cape black hand vengeance. Boniti was
murdered not long after his arrival in
Italy. Soon afterward Marfisi, who was
in Italy at the time of the murder, re
turned to America. It became known to
day that Charles Storaci, an Italian busi
ness competitor of Lima's at Marlon, O.,
had received several threatening letters
ordering him to leave town at once. A
respected Italian in Marion said" today

actually afraid to make as much money

In his effort to tax only the wool In

offered a substitute for the paragraph
relating to cloths, knit and other fabrics
and manufactures made in whole or in

String Through Pulley to Trigger.
DALLAS, Or., June 10. (Special.)
E. Kimball, a farmer, living about
three miles from Dallas, committed
suicide last night by shooting himself.
His wife was absent at the time, and
there is every indication that the sui

gun by which the deed was committed
was chained in a tree and a string
attached by means of a pulley to the
trigger, so that Kimball could dis
charge the gun while standing In front
of its muzzle. He received the charge
in his throat, death being almost in
stantaneous. The deceased was a pioneer of 1S52
and a veteran of the Indian War of
1S56. He came to Oregon from Ohio.
A wife and three grown children sur
vive him. His suicide is attributed to
melancholy, resulting from ill health

Undergone Big Change.
CHICAGO, June 10. (Special.) "Tricks
of Lawyers in Court to Win Cases " was
the -topic of Willard M. McEwen, Judge
of the Superior Court before the Illinois
State's Attorneys' Association today
"No Jury is fair." he said, "because no
man is fair. We may all want to be fair,
but we are bound ur by prejudices we
cannot get away from. For this reason
unscrupulous ana even scrupulous attor
neys can play on the emotions of jurors
and win cases where the law does not
warrant it.
"Whiskers play a great part in a law
suit. At present prejudice In Chicago Is
against Jurors with whiskers. It formerly
was the other way. I know of a Judge
who thought he was without prejudice
and that only men with long whiskers
made good jurors. Prejudice now Is the
other way and attorneys here generally
reject men with long whiskers.
"Attorneys are full of tricks to deceive
jurors. One of the chief tricks is that of
bringing babies into court."

Lard is hog fat so is salt pork. Both are indigestible and often unhealthy.
Until Cottolene was placed on the market, people had to tise lard for all frying
and shortening purposes they had no recourse. But now there is no excuse for
eating lard-soaked pastry and jeopardising your digestion with lard-soaked food.
Cottolene is a vegetable product pure, healthful, digestible. It contains no
hog fat. Even a dyspeptic can eat and enjoy Cottolene food without the after
pangs of indigestion.
Once give Cottolene a fair trial and you'll banish lard from your kitchen
forever.
