MAN OR WOMAN, AS THE

OCCASION DEMANDS.

Is a Former Resident of Green-

castle.

The St. Louis Republic gives the following in regard to Fred Smith, a former dweller in Greencastle: “Ettie” Smith, the “perfect lady,” who has created so much excitement in Four Courts circles by his feminine impersonations, has pages and pages of history behind him. His 17 years of experience in this world of care, however, have not wrinkled his girlish brow, and the impertinent questions of curious visitors as he sees them from behind his cell in the holdover do not seem to bother him. His lot appears to suit him perfectly, and whatevfer his past may have been, or what his future has in store for him, he cares nothing. As long as he has enough to eat and has recourse to his paint box and curling irons, the thoughts of possible wrong-doing or provision for the future do not

trouble him.

About 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon a young man presented himself, who said he had known Eflie when in the public schools at Greencastle, Smith’s mother was at that matron of the Ladies’ Dormi-

natural? How did you know I was

here?”

“What brings you here, Fred?” said the visitor. “Oh, don’t tell anyone my name fs Fred, or don’t say anything about Greencastle. I’m afraid these horrid reporters would get on to it, and I just detest their shadows. They don’t know who I am, and they might tell my mother. No, she don’t know I’m here. She don’t know where I am. But say, Robert, dear, how did you know it was me? Isn’t it all funny. Did you recognize the picture? It wasn’t right for those horrid reporters to make such an awful picture of me. I’d like to spit in their faces.” “Where is your mother now?” asked the young man. “Oh, my mother is in Chicago and so are my three brothers. What is my mother doing? Oh, don’t cask me. Why do I do like I do? Oh, don’t a«k mo that, either. I’m all right, and I know it.” | “When were you in Greencastle

was with me. I just had a companion, that was all. Where did we stop? Why, at the best hotel, of course. Where did I get the money? Oh, well, no difference, 1 guess. It's all right, though. What was I doing? Well. I was just there to investigate a lew things, tor you must know, Robert dear, that 1 am a detective sometimes. Who did I see? Oh, I saw everybody. I had a nice time, too.” And as the young man walked off the voice from behind the bars cried in almost piteous tones, “Come back and see me again, Robert.” No sorrow, whatever, was shown for being j behind tire bars, and an implicit confidence in the future seemed to have firm hold of the young “detective.” In a few moments another gentleman presented himself. “Oh, I’m not here; I am somewhere else,” said “Eilie,” when the jailer told him someone wanted to see him. “But,”

said the visitor, “don’t you remem-

ber Oscar.”

At that Smith sprang to the front and the two talked for several min utes. The young man was Oscar Wooseman, and as he was leaving he was cautioned “not to say anything

about it.”

Wooseman tells a peculiar story. He says that last year he was confined in the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, and that there he met Smith. Smith had been in the hospital for some time as a girl patient and when his sex was discovered the hospital authorities, rather than turn him out, made him an assistant to the nurses. It was he who had waited on Wooseman. The whole story of the boy is full of interest, and as he is full of all sorts of resources and schemes, there is no telling where he may turn up. At any rate, his career ranges from serving as a chorus girl in a variety show to playing detective, and what new roles it may enter his head to play it is hard to predict. Smith is now free, as his fine was stayed yesterday. He says that he will go back to Chicago immediately. Further in Regard to the Murder of Charles Mat kin. Some time ago we gave such facts as we cbuld glean at the time, in regard to the murder of Charles Matkin, formerly of this city, at Wichita, Kan. We now have the following additional facts, The inquest was held in regular order, and the verdict was returned

as fallows:

The said jurors,'upon their oaths, do say that from the testimony given, the deceased came to his death from a blow received from a sandbag or some blunt instrument in the hands of one or more parties unknown to the jury, and the crime was committed between the 8th and 11th days of February, 1895. The expert testimony by a physican was that he believed the wounds on Matkins’ head and hand were made by a sandbag or blunt instrument of some sort and that after being stunned the man was left to freeze to death. His skull was cracked in one place and his hands were bruised where he is supposed to have tried to ward off the blows of his assailants. All that was left to the care of mortal hands of Charley Matkin was laid gently away to rest; the immortal of him, the real Charles Matkin that we knew, had flown the confines of time, beyond the ills of an earthly existence, beyond all its pains, disappointments and mishaps. The funeral was from the home of Mr. E. T. Allen, the last earthly rites being conducted by Rev. Black of tho South Emporia Christian Church. Mr. Charles Matkin was a gentle being and though a man of such en ergy as to have brought him marked success at one time, still gentle as a woman in spirit. Life’s fitful lever contained no heartbreaking throbs for him, only gentle regrets; its fated roads even were bordered with flowers. No one was with him when he reached the horizon that bounds time, that veil beyond which the mortal cannot see, but behind which, no doubt, stood, in expectant attitude, and with open arms, his wife who had proceeded him only a few months, she whoso absence from their earthly home left nothing this side of Heaven to be wished for or attained. So with many other who knew his worth of soul and gentle life wc are left only to say good bve .Charley Matki'i. “Life treads on life and h^irt on heart — We press too close in church and mart To keep a dream or grave apart." On thing peculiar in regard to the murder ol Charles Matkin is the fact that two other men had been semilarly killed in Witchita in last past few months, and the murderers have never been arrested.

In the sprini- everybody needs to think about takinK a spritfa medicine. Not only is this a common practice, but a very necessary and healthful one. It is a fact which physicions acknowledge and the people recognize generally, that a spring tonic taken during the months of March, April and May is more conducive to the restoration of

health, ir case of those who are sick, than any other course of treatment that could possibly be adopted. It is further undeastood by everybody that even for those who call themseivis well, it is very important at this season of the year, if they would maintain good health and vigor, to take a spring remedy to strengthen and invigorate the nerves, tone up the action of all the organs, and thus, by creating healthy condition of the nerves, blood, stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, assist Nature in the efforts she always makes in the spring to cleanse, purify and invigorate the

system.

In the spring there are a great many and important changes going on in the body. Perfect health cannot be maintained while the system ia clogged and the organs sluggish, and the person lias a languid and weakened feeling, with more or less nervousness

and debility.

Now in regard to what you should take. The best spring medicine, indorsed and recommended by physicians, druggists and the people, is Dr. tireene's Nervura blood aud nerve remedy. In pr >of of this, thousands of testimonials are being constantly published in the papers. The following is from Mrs. Etta Summer, of Ooodells, Mich. I have been afilicted," she says, "with nervous debility for n year. My nerves were completely prostrated, and I suffered at the slightest excitement, with great headache. At times i was entirely overcome by this disease. I would stay in the house alone, and despise the sight of my own peo-

ple.

"My entire nervous system was shattered, and my life was a worriment and burden to me. I was advised to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and while on the first bottle, began to recover. My friends were very much surprised.
