DENTAL STUDENT COMMITS MURDER

Elijah B. Badel Shoots Miss Mario Lewson and Self. WOMAN HAD SPURNED HIS LOVE Commits Deed as They Were Leaving Dining Room Where Meal Had Been Partaken of—Leaves Two Letters. Baltimore, Feb. 4. —Dejected by her refusal to accept his offer of marriage and goaded by her ridicule of his English, Elijah B. Badel, a Persian dental student, shot and killed Miss Marie Lewson, a fellow student, and then shot himself with fatal effect. The tragedy seemed to be the result of careful premeditation on the part of Badel, who left a sealed note on which he had written: "Please notify Badel, Des Moines, 1a.,” and another addressed to the public, in which he says the wofoan had refused to longer receive his love. The shooting occurred in the hallway of the Engleside, where the couple had been taking meals. Miss Lewson and her murderer ate at the same table.

Miss Lewson had finished her meal first, and had barely left her place when Badel arose. He. was but a few feet behind her when she entered the hall. No one was in the hall at the tiriie. The diners were startled by three shots. Rushing into the hall they found Miss Lewson bleeding from a wound in her temple, w’hile a few’ feet away, with a shot through the breast, lay Badel. Badel was a Persian, about thirtyone years old and had spent a year at Harvard before coming here to take up dentistry. Miss Lewson, who is a member of a prominent Jewish family of Portland, Me., graduated at* Tufts college and had studied dentistry in Chicago before coming to Baltimore to finish her course. _ The two had become friendly and Badel. who was a religious enthusiast, mistook Miss Lewson’s interest in him for love and became morose when she rejected his suit. In two letters, one written on Jan. 19 and the other Jan. 25, Badel showed that he had then fully determined on the double tragedy, and was only waiting the opportunity to carry out his ulans. The Weather. Illinois —Fair today and tomorrow.

DAVILLA MAY LOSE POST

President of Honduras Is Popularly Reported Insane. Congress Has Refused to Approve Acts of Dictator—lnactivity in Zelaya’s Downfall Fatal. New Orleans, Feb. 4. —Passengers arriving from Central America report early trouble in Honduras, with the probability of the overthrow of President Davilla, either by congress or by a revolution. Davilla was placed in the presidency by Zelaya of Nicaragua who used the Nicaraguan troops for the purpose, receiving in return a large sum of money. He remained neutral during the downfall of Zelaya and has thus lost the support of both factions. The cut in salaries of all officials and higher taxes to meet the Zelaya tribute have weakened Davilla’s support. The congress of Honduras was called together Jan. 1 to right matters and was asked to approve various laws enacted by the president. Although Davilla himself named nearly all the congressman they have refused to approve his acts. The president has so raved and stormed at the men who have abandoned him, that he is popularly reported to be insane.

WHY SALVES FAIL TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema gerriis are lodged hot in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid, not an outward salve that clogs the pores. We recommend to all eczema patients that standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded iu liquid form known as D. D. D. Prescription. A trial bottle of this D D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the iten. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from its use. We recommend it to our j>atrons. B. F.
