(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, Jan. 7.-Hpeclal., Appli
cation has been made to Governor A. B.
Cummlm by County Attorney J. 8. Banker
and Sheriff C. C. Scott of Clarke county
for the offering of a reward for the cap
ture of the murderer of L. L. Delong, a
farmer near Osceola, la. Governor Cum
mins Ik out of the city today, but hae
previously expressed his willingness to of
f r the reward as soon as formal applica
tion Is made. Mr. Delong was a wealthy
farmer neur Osceola. He went to Osceola
September 8 last and while there Is said
to have taken a drink of whisky. In thirty
minutes after that he was dead. At first
It waa supposed that he djed of heart fail
ure. He was seized with spasms at the
time of his death. Recently his son be
came convinced that the circumstances
surrounding the father's death were not
entirely satisfactory and clear and applica
tion waa made to the court to have the
body exhumed and examined. The court
had already appointed an administrator and
had begun the settling of the estate. The
property was about to be divided. On the
order of the court the body was exhumed.
State Chemist Prof. Mary of Highland Park
college In Des Moines was called to make
an examination of the body. On his In
vestigation and statement to Governor
Cummins that there was no doubt but De
long died of strychnine poisoning the gov
ernor expressed a willingness to offer a re
ward aa soon as the formal application
waa made by the sheriff and county attor
ney of Clarke county. It Is said that strong
circumstantial evidence exists as to 'the
guilty party and that an Indlotment will
likely soon follow the offering of the re
ward. The matter has been prosecuted
rery quietly In Clarke county by the of
ficials and because of the prominence of
Mr. Delong In his lifetime the offering of
the reward will create a decided stir.

Is umr the direct management of the
chaplain of the Institution, and the three
teachers are convicts.
In a rpport filed with the Board of Con
trol today. Rev. A. H. Jeasup, the chaplain,
says that the attendance at the school
during the month of December has been
much better than ever before, afid the
school Is In by far the best condition it
has ever known. This Is the first report
from the school since the state's new
plan of paying each of the convict teach
ers a small wage for their work was In
augurated a few weeks ago. Chaplain
Jessup reports that this feature has added
much to the efficiency of the school, and
recommends that this custom be main
tained by tbe Board of Control In the
future. The chaplain characterises as
"faithful, punctual and unflagging" the
men who have served as his assistants In
tha school. There are 156 men enrolled and
the, highest previous number was 148. The
average monthly attendance has been 64V4,
and of the entire enrollment about 93 ier
cent have been regular atendants. The
teachers are paid $5 per month.
WRITING EXPERTMS CONFUSED
Witness In Page Mnrder Trial Con
tradicts Theories on Which lie
Based Former Evidence.
CAMBRIDGE!, Mass., Jan. 7. Charles
Louis Tucker, who Is being tried for the
murder of Miss Mabel Page, listened for
three and a half hours today, with an air
of weariness, to the testimony of Mar
shal D. Ewell, a handwriting expert. Mr.
Ewell reiterated the statement made by
him yesterday that he was confident that
the J. L. Morton address written on a
small piece of paper found near the body
of the murdered woman was written by
the same person who filled out certain
sales slips which the prosecution alleges
were written by Tucker when he was em
ployed by a stationary firm in Boston.
The defendant's stolid demeanor has not
deserted him, but (he strain is beginning to
show Its effect upon him. Only two things
occurred to arouse any degree of Interest
today among the auditors. One was the
reiteration by the witness or Tils belief that
the sale slips and the Morton address
were written by the same person, and the
other was the) Introduction of part of the
testimony given by Mr. Ewell when he
was a witness for the defense at the second
trial of Roland B. Mollneaux in New
York.
Mr. Ewell had testified that the author
of the disputed address had attempted to
disguise his handwriting by writing In the
back-hand strokes. Mr. Wahey, for the de
fense, then read an extract from Mr.
Ewell's testimony at the Mollneux trial, In
which the witness had stated that the ad
dress on the poison, package In that case
did not contain enough letters to enable
one to determine whether It was written
In back-hand style. It was then pointed
out that the address on the poison package
contained more words and letters than
appear In the Morton address. After this
had been read Mr. Ewell amended his pre
vious answer by saying that one could not
tell positively that the Morton address was
written In the back-hand style.

A few years ago I waa taken with in
flammatory Rheumatism, which, though
wild at first, became gradually so intense
that I was for weeks arable to walk. I
tried several prominent physicians, and
took their treatment faithfully, but was
unable to get the slightest relief. In fsct,
ry condition seemed to grow worse, the pains spread over my en
tire body, and from November to March I suffered agony. I tried
many patent medicines but none relier-d me Upon the advice
of a friend I decided to try 9. S. S. Before allowing me to
take it, however, hit gtiardian, who was a chemist, ana
lyred the remedy and pronounced it free of potash or mer
cury. I felt so much better after taking two bottles that
I continued the remedy, and in two months I waa cured
completely. The cure was permanent, for I hare never
since bad a touch of Rheumatism, though many times ex
posed to damp and cold weather.

RHEUMATISM comes from poor digestion, stomach troubles, torpid liver, weak kidneys and a general
