bidly attracted to follow the strange
funeral procession were the only per
sons at the grave.
Mrs. Eastman, stopping 12 miles ,
away at Easion, expressed no desire
.to attend the funeral.
Xo church or church 'yard of the
vicinity would open Jts doors or gates
to the dead man. Superstitious ne
groes who could not be induced to dig
the grave, stood awestricken on the
outskirts of the funeral party.
When the- hearse had drawn up
alongside the grave four men .lifted
the casket from the vehicle and placed
it temporarily on two planks stretched
across the grave, into which a pine box
had already been lowered. j
There was an awkward pause. One
of the undertakers said:
"Gentlemen, it seems to me that
tome one should say a little word of
" prayer. Won't one of you?"
His glance fell upon James Sutton, a
merchant of Bozeman.
"You are a church member, Mr. Sut
ton," said the undertaker, "won't you
«ay itv
Sutton hesitated for a momon, then
uking all to join with him. began to
repeat the Lords Prayer with solemn
earnestness.
Believes Husband Innocent
Mrs. Eastman, widow of the accused
murderer, has not changed her opinion
since coming to Easton that her hus
band did not kill Mrs. Wood ill. She
declared today that Eastman had told
her he was a fugitive from justice and
That he would rather commit suicide
than serve 20 years in the penitentiary
on the charge of grand larceny. Mrs.
Eastman says she will return to the
Ftage to earn a living for herself and
little boy.
There still exists a strong belief
among several members of the cor
oner's jury that others than Eastman
and Mrs, Woodill were in the bunga
low at the time of the murder.
It was «yen hinted tonight that one
or two nuore arrests may be made at
any time. It was further intimated
1 hat the arrest would not be at St.
Michaels or at Baltimore.
It is becoming apparent that East
man was a prolific letter writer. It is
.said that whenever he left St. Michaels
to go to Baltimore or Washington he
always mailed letters back here ad
dressed to himself as Roberts. He
also wrote to Postmaster Taylor the
letter signed "E. B. Wellington," tell
ing the postmaster what a fine fellow
Roberts, was and how much he (Wel
lington), an uncle living In Denver,
was Interested in him. The writer
aFked that Roberts be treated consid
erately.
Attorney A. S. Rothenthal of New
York, who is here as a former lawyer
for Eastman and as the representative
of persons who lost heavily as sure
ties on Eastman's bond when he fled
from New York, declared today that
he would endeavor to have the bonds
men discharged on proof of Eastman's
death and thus relieve the sureties.

The head had been crushed. f ' . - \u25a0
The dead woman had been the protege of f>yman J. Gage,
former secretary of the treasury.
Robert E. Eastman, a fugitive stock broker wanted |in New

came known that Mrs. WoodillAvas last seen alive at a bungalow
on his farm, where he was living under the* name of John T.
Roberts. -
Eastman disappeared, but was pursued by a posse. ! Rather
than be captured he committed suicide in a rowboat before dawn
Friday morning. '
On his body a letter was found, addressed to his wife, Vinnie
. Bradcombc, a New York actress, in which the dead man denied
having killed the woman. He. declared she was by] another
woman, who was one of a party that visited his bungalow on the
night of Saturday, June 19.
It was learned that Eastman had pawned jewelry belonging to
Mrs. Woodill in Baltimore. " «
William Sutton, -a. neighbor of Eastman,- informed the police
Friday that there had been no party at the suicide's bungalow Sat
urday night, but that the. swindler and the dead woman' were there
alone.
It was learned that. Mrs. Wodill, who was oiify 20 years old,
when he met her at the railroad station Saturday to drive her to
his place. The police accepted the theory that Eastman had killed
the woman, fearing that she would make known his identity.
It was learned that Mrs. Woodill, who was only 20 years, old,
had been divorced from a Dr. Caswell before she was* married to
Woodill, and that she had known Eastman only, three .weeks. It
was also learned that Mrs. Woodill was the daughter of Mrs.
Albert Knight of Lewiston, Idaho.
State Attorney Turner of Maryland took up investigation of
the case Saturday, and the wife of the suicide started to St. Michaels
to claim his body and property.

- Schuettler estimated that the bomb

Whatever the immediate motive of

TAXICABS PROFIT
BY CAR STRIKE
Pittsburg Permits Vehicles to
Exceed the Usual Speed
PITTSBURG, June 27. — On account of
the street car workers' strike only one
car moved in Pittsburg and its suburbs
today. 'That car carried United States
mail. People generally walked. Shuttle
trains on the railroids drew little pat
ronage, t'j .
The day was marked with only one
clash between strikers and ; nonunion
men. Two negroes applied to the su
perintendent at the Homewoodvcarbarns
for situations and -were set upon by
union sympathizers and chased from the
district. The police were notified, but
no arrests were made. '
The taxioabs of the city did a large
business and were- allowed to exceed
speed limits.
At many of the! cfiurches services
were dispensed with. Rev. Dr. A. Fisher
of the Wylie avenue Baptist chucrh, an
aristocratic congregation, referred/to
the strike at his morning service, say
ing:
"If these men, both union and official,
had loved each other as Christ taught
this, strike which now engulfs this
city would never have occurred. I be
lieve these poor striking motormen and
conductors are. only asking. what these
wealthy street railway, operators could
have granted without straining a point.
I pray God that no violence may at
tend this labor struggle as marked
Pittsburg by a trail of blood during
those unfortunate days of the Home
stead strikes."
'It is known that the Pittsburg rail
way company has been • negotiairig
with professional strike breakers with
a view of bringing them into the city. '

VALLEJO, June 27.— "1 Wonder Who

objected to last night by 20 sailors.
They were from the monitor Cheyenne,
on which Lieutenant. Wayne Osburn,
the man who gave the famous kiss last
Christmas, is stationed. - -
The 20 sailors from . the Cheyenne
secured seats weir toward the front of
the Novelty theater, where Mrs. Evans
has been the headliner and a great
success for some time. She made her
appearance, and after she had finished
the song the audience commenced to
applaud. The sailors at once com
menced* to hiss loudly and continuously.
The, audience then recognized -that the
seamen were from "Boy" Osburn's
ship, and applauded "them for their
stand. - . -- £
It seemed evident that the famous
mistletoe kiss, which broke up the
Evans, family and caused much un
pleasant notoriety for the young naval
officer, had been thoroughly discussed
on board the monitor and that subject,
of osculation was a tender one.
' Mrs. Evans was -visibly affected by
the expressions of disapproval.
lasted for 15 minutes and was entirely
unexpected, as her appearance usually
has. been the signal for an ovation.
Although very nervous she bravely fin

DOCTOR NATURE IS
BEST PHYSICIAN
"Give Him a Chance and a Help-
ing Hand," Says the Young
Stomach Man
Gives Warning Against Tem
porary Remedies That Act
-Too Quickly
-^ ' . \u25a0 . . .
The young . Cooper "stomach man"
who has been meeting throngs of peo
ple in increasing numbers at the Owl
drug store Jn the Phelan building for
10 weeks past had the following to say
when interviewed yesterday:
"People" all over the world are too
prone to use drugs for quick relief
every, time they feel an ache or a pain.
This Is only temporary treatment and
is very bad for the "system generally.
If persisted in it will lead to scores
of complaints and even serious illness
that might have been avoided. Take
the common complaint of constipa
tion — every one knows, or should know,
that each dose of a cathartic gives re
lief only for the time being and that
in reality it aggravates the trouble.
People who take cathartics continually
In ord&r to move their bowels become
chronically constipated and finally their
bowels will become literally paralyzed.
It is the same way with stomach
trouble, or headaches.^or dizziness or
kidney and H\^r disorders. When a
person has gas on the stomach or pains
after eating he takes a pepsin tablet,
bicarbonate of soda, charcoal or what
not; or if 'lt Is a headache, a headache
powder, and so on. The use of drugs
in this manner does not cure, but only
temporarily relieves, and the patient is
In a worse .condition as soon as the
acute part of the attack is over.
"You can't cure any disease by doc
toring the spot where it pains. You've
got to go to the root of the trouble
and remove the cause. Doctor Nature is
the best psysiclan. Give him a chance
and a helping hand and he'll confound
all specialists in the world with results.
"The reason that I have bad so much
success in making sick people into well
people in San Francisco is that my
treatment makes Doctor Xature do the
real work. My medicine is a stomach
medicine and its only function is to
restore the stomach to a normal condi
tion. The treatment Is slow — it doesn't
cure in half an hour, nor two days —
but it tones up the system and. then
Doctor Nature takes hold and ail other
diseases disappear.
"My medicine banishes constipation
because, it is mildly laxative and re
moves the caused— stomach trouble. It
ends pains in the stomach and gas
belching because it drives away the
catarrhal Inflammation which has caused
all the trouble. It stops headaches,
dizziness, improves digestion and the
eyesight, and makes away with kid
ney and liver trouble because it puts
the body in a healthy condition and
there Is no longer cause for any dis
ease."
Mrs. F. A. Wilder of 380 Twentieth
avenue was one of the Cooper "stom
ach man's" callers Saturday. In a short ,
interview she said: i .
"I had catarrhal v stomach trouble for
12 years. All my food would ferment,
causing gas to form and then would
repeat with the most excruciating
pains. I had headache nearly all the
time, dizziness and chronic constipa
tion. I just felt as. though life was
hardly worth living and I hated the
sight of food. I had tried every kind
of medicine I ever heard of without ;
any result, but finally I heard of the
Cooper remedies and knew of some
very wonderful cures, so decided to '
try it. At once I began to experience
relief. My food digests and the pains
are gone. lam a well woman now, and^l
am frankly willing to admit that I
owe all credit to the medicine of thi3
young man." .». (

IMgs on Graves
The Chinese have a custom of leaving
roast pis at the graves of the newly
buried. There is probably not the slight
est connection between this oriental ob
servance and the fact that Ellis Parker
Butler, the man who wrtote that im
mortal satire, "Pigs Is Pigs," has writ
ten another, whimsical -story called
"Thompson's Truthful Graveyard" for
the July number of Sunset Magazine.
But it is* delightful reading. • «
