Pureasaßaby’s From the time of sweet Mother Eve down to the present day, the highest aim of female ambition has been beauty-of face and figure, and to this end every art and embellishment of the toilet has been eagerly sought after and used. Of all the points that go to make up female loveliness, a beautifal complexion is the most important. To obtain this many sgo-called beautifiers have heen placed before the é)ublic. But all have failed, principally because they have been composed of liquid paste, ﬂlling up and choking the pores of the skin, thro’ which the body naturally seeks its health, and making the complexion of évery one using them sallow, i;»astyflaoking and nnhealthy.

On Saturday, Aug. 23, as Wm.

No doubt it will cause a lawsuit, as Grub thinks Smith equally to blame with himself. o

The Fort Wayne Gazette of the 25th ulti says: “.Coming home from Rome City last night a smart fellow from Kendallville® refused to ‘pay his fare and.in eonsequence Conductor Bonter put-him off. lis friends proposed making it- hot for, the conductor, but ‘thought it best. not.to “lay hands en him.”” The facts, as told to me, are simply these: Cal. Wakeman went to Rome City on Sunday, 1n company with several others from this place. On the way back the conductor ealled for Cal’s ticket, but he couldn’t find it and said he must haye lost it; the eonductor cailed him a *dead beat’ and said he did-not beliéve that he had had a ticket. Cal. retorted by saying that he had bought a return. ticket ‘and would not pay again. The conductor then said if he did not pay his fare he should put him off the train, Three or four of Cal's companions. then came forward and tendered the amount of the young man’s fare, but the conductor refused to take'it and put Cal. off-of the tgin,z which so enraged the friends of Wakeman' that they did threaten the condactor so that he trembled in his boots, and when the train stopped here he did not get off, thinking it not best to give the “boys,” as he called them, a chance to lay hands on him. Wakeman got home by jumping back onto the train when it started.

THE DYER POISONING CASE. ~ Preliminary Examination at Kendallville. - KENDALLVILLE, Sept. Bd.—The preliminary examination of witnesses in the case of the' State vs. John Dyer, charged with the poisoning of his wife, commenced before the Mayor to-day. In due time Sheriff Williams brought the prisoner before court. The prosecution is conducted by A. A. Chapin and the defense by V. C. Mains and Judge Best. - A large number of people were in town to hear the testimony.

Drs. Dancer (of South Milford) and Teal (of this city) and Prof. Dryer (of - Fort Wayne) were the first witnesses, From their testimony it appears that Drs.. Teal and Dancer took out Mrs. Dyer’s stomach, but did not give it a thorough-examination ; bottled the con- - tents and canned the stomach; placed same in charge of Dr. Teal, who subsequently delivered them to Prof. Dryerat Ft. Wayne., Examined thee@,z; ' no signs of violence. Examined the ngs, liver, heart and kindneys; found them in’ healthy condition, nothing about them indicating cause of death. . The Chemist, testified -that he haa ‘made four tests and each one revealed ‘the presence of strychnine in quantity ‘not less than two-fifth grain and in his opinion more. S Rea . Next, Mr. Bidwell (father of deceased) was examined. Hae testified insubstance that at first he would pay no. heed o thre~story that Dyer had poisoned his wife, but that he cameto him concerning the matter; that he, Mr. Dyer’s father and Dyer went to Doctor Williams“a&_qﬁfl;gstalk to get a - writing from hini stating that Mrs. Dyer was not poisoned, which Dr.W.wo'd not ‘do without first seeing Mrs. Bid‘well and talking with her; that, as he—went home he stopped at Dyer’s house. There had been talk of examining the body. . Said Dyer, if they do and should find poison, they can’t hurt me, for they can’t prove that I gaveit. To this I replied, if they find it I think that will be-— proof enough. Once after this, while at my house, Dyer said she might have died of poison, as there were three kinds in the nouse (naming them). ‘Drs. Dancer and Teal testified that Mrs. Dyer had been in a state of preg-— nancy for three or four months. . Dr. Williams thought the indications—were similar to a case of poisoning he once saw, but does not remember of saying anything about It-while there. Did not treat Mrs. Dyer for poison.—— She had convulsions; he treated her for spasmodic disease. T o

Next appeared Mrs. McCloud, who testified that she was acquainted with Dyer’s first wife; worked some for her. After first wife’s death Dyer wanted ‘her to come and keep house for him, which she declined ; but she had agreed to sew for first wife, and . accordingly went about one week: after her death. Sewed one week and one day, Mrs. Sales ‘being, there the whole time. Dyer frequaently asked her to marry him, but. she.said no each time. About one month after she left there she went to Finley, Ohio. Here she received several letters from Dyer. On the day previous to the one she had designated for returning home, Dyer came and wanted her to marry him. She said, “no, sir; I cannot.” But came back to Kendallville with -him, and on the way he said he could marry this other woman, but did not care for her; that he wanted her, &c. He further said that if he did marry this woman and should be left a widower, would she then marry him? to which she replied “No!” again. When leaving Dyer remarked, “Then there is no hopes for me ?” “No sir;”’ was my answer. Then Dyer said, “If I do have to marry this woman, by God I don’t have to live with her.” Witness saw him again after his wife had died.
