Peterson, President. Mew Light on the Case of Captain Baron von Goeben, Who Mur dered His Superior Officer and Then Cut His Throat In Prison. The German -war office has sent in structions to Allenstein ordering the fullest inquiry made into the death of Baron von Goeben, details of which I are now forthcoming. One morbidly interesting conclusion is that be must have bribed the keeper who took his meals-to him not to observe the disap pearance of the knife, which, being in tentionally blunt, he sharpened to a somewhat rough edge on the bottom of the coarse prison plate with his back against the door so that the guardian specially stationed outside with In structions to watch the prisoner care fully and look through the peephole at least every quarter of an hour could not see him holding the rough edged weapon in his left hand. With extraordinary courage the bar on went through what must necessari ly have been the slow operation of gashing his neck on the right side un til he completely severed the Jugular vein, the blood Bpurtlng all over the walls of the narrow cell. When he had completed his task the knife fell out of his hand, and his head was found supported by his right hand. Two letters were found, one to the tion of complete infatuation with Frau von Schoenbeck. The alienist adds that You Go-eben was so sensitive to hypnotic suggestion that he acted through suggestion, his normal mental powers being partially in suspense. Von Goeben talked over with the alienist the circumstances which led up to the murder of Major von Schoen beck. He spoke in a very simple way of the exalted feeling he had for Frau von Schoenbeck, saying she had related to him her sufferings at the hands of her husband. She would not permit Von Goeben to challenge her husband to a duel. Finally, on Christmas day, Von Goe ben. who was still on friendly terms with the major, had dinner with him and his wife. He was with them from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 In the evening. During a moment that the major was in an adjoining room Frau von Schoenbeck led Von Goeben under the Christmas tree and asked him to make oath that he would bring mat ters to an end, as she could endure the torture no longer. Von Goeben swore ns the woman asked him to, and he made up his mind to return after leav ing the house and seek a duel with the VON GOEBEN WAS THE QUICKER OF THE TWO AND SHOT FIRST. baron's regiment, saying he could not bear to face ? trial which would bring disgrace on his uniform, and a second one saying that he had been hypno tized by the magnetic charms and at tractions of Frau von Schoenbeck. He couldn't now, he wrote, imagine how he had allowed himself to aet as he i had done. It appears that he had long contem plated suicide, but promised on the name of his mother and of his regi ment not to do so. Extracts from his , letters to hi? paramour couched in ex I aggeratedly passionate terms show J how completely he was under her domination. Baron von Schrenck-Notzing, an ex pert alienist, who on behalf of the court spent four days in a cell with Captain Baron von Goeben for the pur pose of forming an opinion as to Von Goeben'8 mental condition, declares that he was not insane, but in a condi major. He wanted no witnesses at the encounter. In order to give the major a chance for his life Von Coeben entered the house by a window in the dining room, which he had purposely left unfasten ed, and made a noise. The major then came in with a revolver In his hand. When he saw Von Goeben he exclaim ed In astonishment As soon as he caught sight of the revolver in Von Goebeu's hand he raised his own weap on to fire. Von Goeben was the quick er of the two and shot first. The major fell unconscious, with a bullet hole In his forehead. In relating these incidents Von Goe ben told the alienist that his lore foir Frau von Schoenbeck permitted him to master the pangs of conscience. After his arrest and incarceration Frau von Schoenbeck lost her power over the baron, his conscience awoke and he confessed his crime. Hanged by a Collar Button. Nurse Suspended by the Neck Under Bed of Man Who Had Just Lost His Appendix. Miss Mary Brodle, a nurse in St Mary's hospital, Jamaica, N. T., nearly J lost her life In a remarkable manner. She hung suspended by her own collar UHtil life was well nigh extinct Then her collar buttOL broke and she was re leased. She was scrubbing under the bed of a patient who had recently undergone an operation for appendicitis. Her col Jar button caught in the springs. She found herself suspended, with her breath almost wholly shut off. She tried to unhook her collar. The bed was too close to the floor, and there was not suJlcient free room. She es sayed to burst the collar by jerking her head downward. She only succeed ed In bumping her nose, while the springs, yielding to the strain, sagged and then drew her back. She pressed herself upward against the springs un til through the lessening of the tension upon her throat she waB enabled to get some air. The sick man was consclpus that something untoward was happening. His extreme weakness kept him from helping the nurse. He tried to press an electric bell button, but failed. Suddenly the button snapped. She fell and remained upon the floor until she recovered her strength. Then Bhe crawled out from under the bed and reported the Incident to the head nurse, under whose ministrations she soon be came herself again. "I guess I was hanging for twelve or fifteen minutes." she said. "Every min ute seemed an age. I thought I surely would be strangled." Sap Destroys Lumberman's Sight. Bdward Spendlove, a timber expert of St. John. N. B., whu passed through Guadalajara, Mexico, a few weeks ago on his way to the coast country of Michoacan, has been brought back to tally blind. While making an Inspec tion of a tract of timber in Michoacan Spendlove came to a peculiar looking tree and struck It with an ax he was carrying. Instantly a quantity of sap spurted from the tree, striking the man In the far^ .md pnterlng his eyes. The sap had the properties of a strong acid and burned its way into the eyeballs and into the flesh of the face. Spend love was blinded, and physicians here say that his eyes have been perma nently injured and that he will never see again. He will be taken to his home. The tree Is thought to be a spe cies of poison oak. The natives In thai part of Mexico have known of the dangerous properties of the sap for many years. Engraved Visiting Cards.

Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No Orangeburg Citizen Can Afford to Ignore. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale .and foamy, or a thick red, ill-smelling urine, full of sedi ment and irregular of passage. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute tell you of sick kidneys and warn you of the approach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. E. Starton, well known in Flor ence, S. C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills helped my back after every thing else had failed, and after I had thought that my back was worn out. They made it stronger than it had been for five or six years und seemed to put a new backbone in me. I have had a terrible time with back ache which was greatly aggravated by my work and at times ! had to lay off for I could not work on ac count of the acute pains across my loins. I could not begin to te1! you all I have suffered. The Becretions from my kidneys also bothered me, were very dark in color and con tained sediment, being also too fre quent in action and annoying me during the day and preventing my resting well at. nights. I applied plasters and rubbed my back with liniments but nothing helped, me un til I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box. They were just what I needed and are the best back ache remedy I ever used. I bave not had backache since I used them, the kidney secretions are all right, I can sleep all night without having to get up and my back is stronger than it has been for a number of years."
