Modern “Witch” Convinces Judge and Jury Her Powers Arc Real By International Illustrated News. BERLIN—A gentle old German lady walked to the prisoner's dock the other day in an Insterburg (East Prussia) court and listened tremblingly while a prosecutor delivered an . arraignment of her that was so bitter it was astounding. In the ’offlcal’s own words she was a “witch,” a wicked woman who “deceived the public by means of telepathy and clairvoyance”; and he intimated darkly that it might be well to borrow from the ancients an , extra special method of dealing with her. Except for a hideously clattering | telegraph sounder a smugly efficient court stenographer and the bobbed, elaborately coiffed heads of feminine spectators the scene could conceivably have been lifted bodily from the Middle Ages. It was the second time that Frau Else Guenther-Gexers, socalled medium of the Memelland, had been lugged before a judge on the same count. The first hearing was brief, the aged woman being declared innocent when witnesses failed to adduce other than hearsay evidence. Second Witchcraft Trial Not so the second. Only after a gruelling test of her powers during a trance minutely observed by nerve specialists psychiatrists and journalists, was Frau Else triumphantly purged of the stigma of witchcraft. She left the courtroom weeping softly as her admirers pelted her with noses and shouted —“hoch die Klahrseherin des Memelland! ’ (Long live the seeress of the Memelland!) It was testified that since early childhood she had possessed powers of divination which neither she nor

ehr family could explain. When she was four, she had warned neighbors that the Neuwider Cathedral would burn down. Four days later the Cathedral did burn. While attending a “turn” school, little Else remarked to a girl next Ito her in class: “You'd better not ! exercise today, for before long you are going to have a baby." The indignant teacher expelled Else for this "wicked untruth.” But it didn’t take long for school authorities to discover that she had spoken the truth. She was reinstated. The Future An Open Book Sicknesses and even deaths in her own family have been an open book |to her for years. Often she would repeat telegrams before they had even been received at the house. Her relatives used to call her “Strange Else.” One day upon holding out her palm to a gypsy to be read the latter refused saying: “You are a white gypsy. You see just as clearly as I do.” Os late years Frau Guenther-Geffers lias lived upon a farm in Koenigsberg With her ischpol-principal husband.. She has three grown children and is famous throughout East Prussia as a prophetess to whom to turn in time of trouble. Pressed by the presiding judge for some explanation of her unusual powers she said simply: “The forehead and the hand of a person have always been as an open, look to me.” NOTICE I do all kinds of remodeling on COATS and also reline fur coats.

SIXTH LITTER I WEIGHS TON The sixth litter to make a weight of 2,000 pounds or more In 180 days In the Hoosier Ton Litter Club In Adams county this year was weighed up Tuesday evening, by County Agent F. E. Christen The litter belonged to Albeit Davison, prominent young far mer of St. Marys township, and weighed 2,191 p unds on the 180th day. Mr. Davison’s litter was a liner of eleven Durot Poland China Crossbreds, being of very fine type anti quality. The lltte.' was very even, the average being slightly under 200 pounds each. Mr. Davison’s record will entitle him to a gold medal. Mr. Davison states that the litter received ground oats, tankage and corn in a self feeder dining the greater part of the feeding period. When the pigs were about two weeks old, a small creep was constructed for them so that they could have free choice of feeds at all times without interference frem larger hogs. In addition to the feeds in the self feeder fed as listed above, a slop consisting of bran, middlings and ground oats was also feil in limited quantities. The pigs had free access to pasture at all times. Several mere litters in the club will be weighed up within a few days. , o British Speaker Warns Os Danger Os War With U. S.

ANDREW LAUGHMAN “Does anyone wonder that I endorse Konjola? After suffering from stomach trouble and rheumatism for 25 years, Konjola brought me quick and permanent relief when all else 1 tried hah failed,’’ writes Mr. Andrew Laughman, 300 Union street, Elkhart, Indiana. “That is why I am eager to endorse th’s remarkable remedy. In all tfiese years anything 1 ate caused me intense misery, gas, bloating, pains, heart palpitation. Getting no nutritipn from my non-digested food, my ent re system was run down. I was well nigh discouraged when some friends, who had been made well by Konjola, insisted that I try it. Well, I had mighty little faith left in any remedy, but I decided to give Konjola a chance. “Imagine my delight to feel instant improvement. A sthort treatment — about three weeks—and I was a well man. Now I can eat anything; all my aches and pains have left and I am feeling years younger. Konjola goes directly to the seat of the ailment; cleanses, purifies, helps the ailing organs. It surely worked a miracle with me.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at Smith, Yager & Falk's drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
