TO EtlO LIFE

' Mrs. Albert J. Ford, at her borne on North Eighteenth street, near Main street, last evening about 8:45 o'clock, attempted suicide by drinking carbolic acid. This afternoon ber condition was critical and ber recovery Is doubtful. She will probably be taken to tbe hospital late this afternoon. Mrs. Ford is thought to have attempted her life because of despondency over ill health, which has been poor for the past fifteen years. Last evening while in the living room with ber husband, who is a well kaown shoemaker, and formerly a member of the board of police commissioners, Mrs. Ford about 8:30 arose and walked Into the kitchen, procured a bottle of carbolic acid which had been In tbe house for some time. She returned to tbe living room but in a few minutes went back to tbe kitchen. A few minutes later ber husband fol

lowed ber Into tbe kitchen and found ber In terrible agony, as she bad swallowed a large quantity of the acid. Probably because the acid was old is due tbe fact that she was not instantly killed. Mrs. Ford Is about 45 years old, well known and very popular with ber many friends.

The Secret Of Success

TAKES AN APPEAL

Genuine Merit Required to Win the People's Confidence

Have you ewer stopped to reason 1

why It Is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of light and ire soon forgotten? The reason la plain the article did not fulfill the promises of the ' manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine!, A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells Itself, as like an adtoM chain system the remedy la taoommended by those who have been cured, to thosn who are in need of It. lb an Interview on the subject a prominent local druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case It hows Immediate results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." The success of Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot ia due to the fact that It fulfils every wish In overcoming kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralises the uric acid which causes rheumatism. A free trial bottle will be sent by mall, absolutely free. Address Dr. Kilmer tt Co., Blnghamttn, N. Y? 'and mention this paper. Regular sis bottles sold at all druggists fiOc. and $1.00. x

Albert W. Gregg bas taken an appeal from the justice of peace court to the circuit court in his case versus The National Products company. The plaintiff asks that an execution be issued immediately, averring that delay

In issuing an execution on judgment will endanger the collection of $100 which he alleges is due him from The National Products company for rent of business rooms at South Fifth and A streets.

City Statistics

With about 600 chickens entered, the

fourth annual exhibition of the Rich6' mond Poultry association opened this morning at the K. of P. temple. More chickens have been entered in this year's show than any previous exhibition. Had it not been for the cold weather, members of tbe association say, there would have been at least 1,000 chickens entered in the show. The extreme cold weather which terminated a week or so ago prevented a large number of poultry fanciers from shipping their poultry into the city, and it is said that some of the best "birds" were injured by the cold. Nevertheless many chickens from Van Wert and Piqua, Ohio, and "Pekin. 111., besides other towns and cities in this vicinity have been entered in the exhibition, although most of tbe chickens have been entered by persons residing in or near Richmond. There are but few geese, ducks, pigeons entered and most of the interest ia centered In the chickens. The score card system will be used in judging the poultry. This afternoon a large number of poultry fanciers vis-

j ited the sow and pronounced it one of

the best of its kind which has been held in this section of the state. Benjamin McCracken of Martinsville is the official judge.
