a most difficult task is admitted by all

There is no shadow of doubt that
Sarah Koten, the young Russian nurse
shot and killed Dr. Samuel Auspitz, on
June 7 last—shot him down as she
would a mad dog, which she declares
he was. And the crime was deliberate
and premeditate t «
For hours Sarah Koten sat patiently
in a doorway, awaiting the arrival of
the man whom she declares had ruined
her life, with a revolver in her hand
and murder in her heart. When an
officer arrived after the tragedy which
ended the life of Dr. Auspitz the girl
stood defiantly over her victim and
declared: "I killed him. I am ready
to pay the price." If she was insane,
it was a cool and deliberate sort of |
madness.
The facts of the killing of Dr. Au
spitz and the circumstances surround
ing his death are clear, and yet it
will probably be impossible to secure
'■ jury that wi-. i u»f. the j iiz -i:i of
death upon the slayer. In a cell of
the grim prison at Blackwell's Island
the stork came recently to Sarah Kot- i
en and left a baby boy, and the tiny I
hands of the infant have built up a
barrier of public sentiment that towers
insurmountably between the mother
and the electric chair. And despite
the fact that her child is fatherless,
the illegitimate offspring of her en
forced association with Dr. Auspitz,
the young Russian girl loves it with
all the passionate tendencies of her
nature ami is now as anixious to live
as a few months ago she was anxious
to die. Never before has the gift of
life seemed so precious, so intensely
beautiful: never has she reached so
passionately for it. And all because
her child has been born. The baby
which she thought would prove the
crowning disgrace of hpr experience
has. with one touch of its feeble hand,
performed the miracle that has turned
the wretched girl into a happy woman,
proud and eager to live.
J Instead of finding herself with her

"There was no one in all the world

Why Colds Are Dangerous.
Because you have contracted ordi
nary colds and recovered from them
||; without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in ac ommon cold. Con-'
| sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. It Is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan
ger lurks in a cold than in any othef
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made it a sta
ple article of trade over a large part of
the world. For Bale by Hays & Field

AGED CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY
Mr. J. R. Jeffcoat, one of the oldest
and best-known cltlrns of the county,
died at his home near Morriston, short
ly after 12 o'clock Tuesday night. He
was 83 years old and his death was
due to old age. He had lived in this
and Jones county for over 20 years.
Mr. Jeffcoat was the father-in-law
of Hon. F. M. Morris, a former presi

Most Reputable Concerns
in Rochester.
We will either cure you of constipa
tion or pay for all the medicine used
during the trial. You pay us nothing
if we fail. That's a mighty broad
statement, and we mean every word
of it. We will back it up with our
own personal reputation, too. Could
anything before fair and secure for
you.
The most scientific, common sense
treatment is Rexall Orderlies. Their
active principle is a very recent scien
tific discovery that is odorless, color
less and tasteless; very pronounced,
gentle and pleasant in its action, and
particularly agreeable in every way.
This ingredient does not cause any
diarrhoea, nauseau, flatulence or grip
ing. Rexall Orderlies are as pleasant
to take as candy and are particularly
good for children and delicate per
sons.
If you suffer from chronic or habit
ual constipation, or the associate or
dependent chronic ailments, we urge
you to try Rexall Orderlies at our
risk. Remember, you can only get
them at our store. The Own Drug
