— ; >■ No Man is Stronger i Than His Stomach A •tfonl roan « strong all over. No man can be « strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its " consequent indigestion, or from some other disease es the stomach and its associated organs, which impairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss; of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man “ doesn’t feel just right,” when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.

Such a man should use Dr. Pltrce’t Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH END STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY. You can’t afford to accept a teerrt nostrum as a substitute for thh nonalcoholic medicine oP known composition, not even though the urgent dealer may thereby make a little bigger profit.

New York, April 23—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Albert Wolter, convicted slayer of Ruth Wheeler, today is the calmest man in the prison. He joked with his keeper and refused to talk of the verdict under which the death sentence will be imposed next ■Wednesday. Unless his family will bear the expense there will be no appeal. New York, April 23—Albert Wolter, degenerate youth of nineteen years, who gloated over lewd pictures and was “crazy” about women, must die in the electric chair for the murder of Ruth Wheeler, a pretty fifteen-year-old stenographer. After only one hour and fifty minutes Os deliberation a jury in the court of special sessions found him guilty of murder tn the first degree at 10:30 o’clock Friday night, bringing to a close a trial marked by its swift movement and its testimony of horror. The boy’s counsel said that Wolter was too tender hearted to harm a cat, but twelve men decided last night that he had strangled Ruth Wheeler and thrust her while yet alive into his ffre place, where, soaked with oil, her crumpled body writhed and burned. With the same wax-faced Indifference that he had shown throughout the trial, Wolter evinced no emotion when the verdict was announced. With almost inhuman complacency he had been asleep* in his cell and sleeping soundly while the jury was deliberating on his fate. This was made known by a court attendant who said he had to rouse the prisoner to bring him into coyrt. He will be sentenced - Wednesday. — u - I' — MISS MYLOTT GIVEN JUDGMENT.

Sarah Catherine Reynolds, aged six-ty-six, wife of Dan P. Reynolds, one of the pioneer women of the county and city passed away Thursday night at 11 o’clock at the home in the north part of the city. She had been ill ' for many months with cancer of the liver and her death has been expected for several weeks. Several weeks ago she underwent an operation at St. Joseph hospital, Fort Wayne, and it was learned then that her condition was beyond all cure, and that death was the matter of only a short time. She was born October 18, 1843, in Tuscarawas county, Ohio, the daughter of John and Elizabeth ‘Archbold. When only a child she came with her parents to this county, making her home in Preble township. It was there that she became acquainted with Dan P. Reynolds and their acquaintance ripened into love. When the Civil war broke out Mr. Reynolds was called to the front, but in six weeks was taken a prisoner and sent home on a furlough. While on this furlough he and his sweetheart were married, and shortly afterward he was again called to. the war and served to the close, serving three years in all, while his faithful companion remained at home. After the war, they continued to make their home in Preble township, and in 1873 came to this city to live. In 1884 they went to Kansas and lived there twelve years and then returned here, in 1896. With the exception of sixteen months in Oklahoma they have lived'here the remainder of the time. Several years ago Mrs.' Reynolds’ health* became poor and tiey went to Oklahoma, hoping the change would do her good. She gradually grew worse, however until death. She leaves husband and two children — Mrs. Daisy Priest of Dill, Oklahoma, and Will of Noble, Oklahoma. Mrs. Priest was with her mother when she died and the son was also here during, a part of her illness, but found it necessary to return home. One child died when three years of age. She is also.survived by the following brothers and sisters: William Archbold, Ossian; James, east of the city; Ezra, Fort Wayne; Margaret McCague, Martha F. Kreigh, Wells courity; Rebecca Murphy, Decatur. George, Tom and John Archbold, and Mary J. Meitz are brothers, and' sisters who have prec ded her in death. The funeral was held Monday morning at 10 o’clock in the Elhannan cuurch in Wells county, the Rev. Powell, pastor of the Methodist church of this city, officiating. Burial in the Elhannan cemetery. Mrs. Reynolds was a most estimable woman, and her death has caused untold grief. — a.—, O —■ "■ Long months of suffering from spinal meningitis terminated Saturday at 8 o’clock in the death of Emma J.,' wife of Harvey L. Kessler at the home of his parents, Ferd Kessler, fouri miles south of the city. The ailment had assumed a most serious phase in the past several weeks and her death was not unexpected. She was one of the best known of the younger ladies of the county and her death will be a cause of much sorrow. She was little more than twenty-six years of age. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Steele of north of this city arid was born February 23, 1884. A year ago last December she was married to Harvey L. Kesler, who, with a pine-months-old son, Kenneth, sur-. vive. Her mother died several years ago and her father and the following brothers and sisters survive: Roy and George Steele and Mrs. Roy Venis of Bluffton, and a halfbrother and sister, John and Cleo. The funeral was held Monday morning, the procession leaving the home at 10* o’clock for the Monroe M. E. church. Burial in the Ray cemetery. — o- ...

Dore B. Erwin, attorney for the plaintiff, .filed a new case entitled Nettle Roop vs. Frank Roop, complaint for divorce and alimony, demand, $16,000. Mrs. Roop filed a similar case two or three years ago, but a reconciliation was affected before trial. The complaint says the parties were married April 4, 1895, and liVed together until Thursday of this week. The charges which follow are sensational. Mrs. Roop says her husband has often palled her vile names; that he is an habitual drunkard; that he has taken possession' of $3,475 of her money and invented it in estate in his own name. The complaint also alleges that on April 16th last, the defendant went hoipe and assaulted his wife and her small child and when plaintiff to protect herself locked herself in a room, Roop procured an ax and with it broke down the door, and made a brutal assault on plaintiff and would have done her bodily harm had not the son and daughter restrained him and disarmed him of the ax. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Roop, to-wit, Sarah, aged fourteen; Lawrence, aged eight, and Orval, agdd four years. Plaintiff says defendant has personal and real property valued at SIB,OOO. Mrs. Roop asks a divorce, the custody of the children and for SIO,OOO alimony. The plaintiff also asks the court to enjoin the defendant from selling or, disposing of any 0! his property and from molesting or interfering Or visiting Mrs. Roop or children. The court granted a temporary restraining order. • . 1 , ! O' . Mrs. Dr. Charles S. Schenk of Berne and one of the best ’known and respected ladies of this county, passed away at her home on Thursday at 12:30 o’clock. While her death had not been the best for some time prior to her death she was only taken bedfast on last Friday and from that time gradually grew worse with diabetes, Which caused her death. The deceased was the daughter pf Mrs. J. M. Atkinson and was born in Salamonie, Jay county. She was united in marriage a number of years ago and was a resident of Berne tor the past fourteen years. She was united in marriage to Doctor Schenk, of Berne, and to this happy union, one daughter, now twelve years of age, was born. She was well liked by a large number of friends, and her death has caused a gloom over all who were near and dear to her. She leaves a mother, Mrs. J. M. Atkinson, a husband and one daughter to mourn their loss. She is also survived by one brother and sister, H. M. Atkinson and Miss Etta Atkinson, the latter residing at home with her mother. Two brothers and one sitter, Rev. Daniel Atkinson, president of a college at Jireh, Wyoming; Albert Atkinson and Mrs. C. W. Pfeifer, of the same place, have been notified of her death and will be in attendance at the funeral, which was held from the house on Monday. TO BAKERS.

terra Haute, ina., April (»pee-| five of them fatally today when a Big Four express train ran into an open switch at Sandford, ten miles West of here, The dead are Robert Ely of Matoon, Illinois, engineer of the passenger train, and. H. A, Driscoll of Mattoon, Interlocking switchman.

A construction train had taken a siding to permit the passenger train to pass, and it is supposed that through a blunder a switch was left opefi and No. 46 was switched onto the siding with the terrible results, crashing into the construction train from the . rear. The passenger engine was badly wrecked. Engineer Ely was pinned underneath his engine and was scalded to death. The injured men from the construction train were all in the caboose when the crash came. I* R. Donelly of Mattoon, died in a hospital here this morning. Blame for the open switch is charged against the crew of the westbound freight, which passed fifteen minutes before the wreck. Albert Hunt, aged eighteen, night agent at Sandford, denies he was told to close the switch. He will testify at the coroner’s ipquest this afternoon. , " U. o--. 7 Nature itbelf, with brilliant smiling skies, and all things else agreeable, combined to make the wedding of Miss Lulu Kukelhan and Mr. Henry Fuelling onp of the happiest pf the year. The ceremony took place Thursday afternoon at J:3O o’clock at the Fuelling church, northeast of the city, and: that edifice was thronged with relatives and friends who witnessed the event. The bridal procession was a very pretty one—the bride and groom and their attendants, the Misses Minnie Fuelling and Eipma Kukelhan—sisters of the bride and groom—and Messrs. Otto Fuelling and Edward Kukelhan—brother and cousin of the bride and groom. Entering the church to the strains of a triumphant wedding march, the procession proceeded to the altar; where the impressive ceremony was pronounced by the pastor, the ReV. DornseiL The bride, of pleasing personality and appearance, was most beautiful in a frock of white sHk, made in tunic effect, with trimming of Valenciennes lace. She wore a long tulle veil, caught to her her hair with smilax and roses and she carried a shower bouquet of roses. Her maids were gowned in white tissue, and carried bouquets of white and pink carnations. After the church ceremony the wedding party drove to this city in cabs which had been previously adorned by their mischievous friends with placards heralding without all doubt the fact that they were newly-weds, and while they visited the picture gallery here and sat for their photographs, guests to the number of two hundred or more gathered at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Kukelhan, where a sumptuous feast was spread at 6 o’clock and where the festivities continued until late at night, with dancing, and other merry-making. The house was beautiful in its decorations of pink and White drepe paper streamers and cut flowers. The supper was served at three large tables decorated with carnations in pink and white and ropes of smilax. Many beautiful presents were received. The bride and groom are representatives of substantial and prominent families of the county, and are deserving of all the good wishes bestowed upon them. The groom is a son of Fred Fuelling. They will be at home on a farm, between this city and Fort Wayne. Among those from this city who attended the wedding were Mrs. Sophia Hobrock, Will and Louise Hobrock, Mr. and Mrs. pan Niblick, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Niblick, Cal Peterson, Clara Lang, Kato Wenneford, Joseph Kortenbrer,, Emma SGiillcfcnian*' j ' : * -"-oAHOY, FOR 8. 8.

Celebrated Hie Seventy-Fourth Birthday In Ueual Manner. 1 Judge Levi Mock serenaded residents of East Washington street last evening and other neighbors in the east-part of the city with selections on his violin. He explained that it was his seventy-fourth birthday anniversary, and that he had made it a custom to serenade the favdred neighbors mentioned above on every tenth birthday. He said, however, that the city has built up so much In that section that he cannot serenade every house as he did in former years. He has serenaded in ihe same way every ten years since 1870. Last evening he received quite a collection of eatables, drinkables and smokables as the fruits, of his prowess. One hand has been seriously affected with poison for several weeKs and for a time it appeared that he might not be able to use his fingers for a serenade on bls birthday. He has made good progress toward recovery in the last few days, however, and most of the poison has been killed.—Bluffton News.
