Business Had Been Bad andHe Did the Deed to Secure Her .-••?. Money. MILWAUKEE, Jan. 16.—Rudolph J. Pechmann, proprietor of the Cream City hotel, in which Mrs. Schrum was found dead after the building was partly destroyed by fire last Friday morning, confessed at noon the he strangled his aged guest for the purpose of robbing her, and afterwards fired her room. He failed to secure the woman's money. Pechmann is now in jail. Pechmann said business had been poor with him for two years. He knew Mrs. Schrum had money, and it occurred to him that he might manage to secure it. For a week before the fatal night he watched every movement of. his victim. Just before he was going to bed last Thursday he heard Mrs. Schrum get I up and go to another room. He con eluded that his chance had come, and he went into her room. When the old lady returned ho threw a blanket over her head and choked her to death. Ha then made a search but could find nothing. He then went down stairs and told his wife the old lady was dead and that they might help themselves to whatever they might find. She refused to accompany him up stairs and he returned alone to make another search. Upon his return to the room he found that Mrs. Schrum showed signs of recovery and he choked her again. Then he set fire to the place and threw a lamp upon the floor. While the fire was spreading Pechmann made a final search for money, but was again unsuccessful. When there was a prospect that the fire would leave him worse off financially than when he com mitted the terrible deed, the murderer called the fire department. Mrs, Pech mann will not be arrested, as she had no knowledge that her husband intended to secure the money by committing murder. The whereabouts of the nfor dered woman's money is still a mystery.

Read: "Three years ago, as a result of catarrh, I entirely lost my Searing and was deal for more than a year. I tried various things to cure it, and had several physicians atterrpt it, but no improvement wa3 apDarent. I could distin guish no sound. 1 was intending putting myself under the cave of a specialist when some one suggested that possibly Hood's Sar saparilla would do me some good. I began taking it without the expectation of any lasting help. To my surprise asad gjrea* joy I found when I had taken three bottfes that my hear ing was returning. I kept on till I had taken three more. It is now over a year and I can hear perfectly well. I am troubled but very little with the catarrh.

My kidneys were so weak th it I could not retain my urine, it would pass from macontinually, und I was uuder the necessity of le ivin.tj my conch from six to sight times of a ni ht to vo'id my urine, which was very painful. 1 was also troubled with severe constipation and piles, so that I was obliged to use injections to produce evacuations af the bowels. It was very distressing so much so that I had tobe lifted in and out of my bed for several mouths. The doctors could do me no Sfood whatever, and I hadm ide up mv mind that there WHS no help for me this side of the grave. My limbs would become numb and cold, seem ingly G3 ice. an I I would trv with hot bricks, rubbing and all other method'* to restore the cir culation and natural feeling, but all to no effect, and then it would pass off. Then attain another Rt.ack would occur whi^h would leave me help less, and so continued periodically, and I could get uo relief. The doctor* told me that must not do any work, and that it would be three years at leist before I would be able to work. I agreed with them, for I could not. nor did I ever expect to again. The who.e world seemed tome a blank, and my vital forces all had left me, aud my life was fast ebbing away from me through the ipsa of my life fluids, which doctorswere unable even to check. I had given upall hope of ever getting help, and death iu all its terrible forms stared me In the face, from which there seemed to be no avenue of escape from this living horror, of which no living person is able to know or feel, except his sufferings be as mine has been.
