,
he often cursed the son and daughters
and had threatened to kill the
girls. She said her husband came
home Sunday night, saying he would
kill every one in the house. Later
her son, Floyd, came in and she said
she told him not to let his father
see him. She said Floyd wept to his
room and started to retire when the
fattier went to the room and began
to abuse and curse his son. He said
something about killing the two
daughters and Floyd spoke in their j
behalf. She said this enraged Joseph I
Meetze and that he grabbed the son
and a scuffle started. She said the
father had the son on the floor, choking
him and saying, "I will beat out
your brains on the floor," when she
tried to pull the father from the son.
She said a pistol fell from the son's
pocket and that"Floyd beat his father
to it. The shots w6re fired she said
and Joseph Meetze stood erect and
said "I am shot."
Mrs. Meetze said on one occasion
her husband had forged her name to
a paper and had obtained $900. She
said her son Floyd worked hard to I
settle the account to keep his father
out of trouble. She said she learned
that her husband had been living with
another woman in Lexington county
and that he had just completed a term
i in the Richland county jail. Mrs.
Meetze said Mr. Meetze had cursed
his daughters and had threatened to
Kin mem. ?
Rosa Meetze, daughter of Joseph
Meetze corroborated the mother in
every detail. She said her father
abused and cursed her a short time
before the fatal shots were fired.
Threats to Kill.
I Mrs. Charlie Koon, another daughter,
said she had heard her father
say he would kill a member of the
family if it took him ten years.
The widow and the two dauhters told
? - ?? a t ? _ i J 1
I the jury that Mr. Meeize naa a uau
reputsftion, one saying, *'He had no
, reputation at all." The mother and
! two sisters of Floyd Meetze said he
had been their support for six years
and that he could not avoid killing
-his father.
George Baldwin said he lived next i
door to the Meetze home and he regarded
Joseph'Meetze as a bad man.
1
On one occasion he had heard a dis/
turbance in the house and that Joseph
Meetze had told him he (Meetze) intended
to hurt some member of his
family. Mr. Baldwin said Floyd
Meetze is a good boy and was devoted
to his mother a!nd sisters.
Other witnesses who testified were
Dr. W .A. IJoyd, Dr. B. T. Sease,
D'ames Keisler and C. T. Graydon. The
jury was composed of R. J. Person,
G.' B. Bunch, E.-F. Nunnamaker, J.
\
I. Wheeler, Sol M. David and G. H.
Riley. Coroner Scott examined the
witnesses. Floyd Meetze occupied a
seat near his attorney and wiped
tears from his'eyes several times dur,
ing the hearing.
* Floyd Meetze shot and killed his
father dn his room near the terminal
! of the College Place car line Sunday
! night. Two shots were fired, according
to witnesses. One caused tlv
death of the father and the other
penetrated the ceiling. Floyd Meetze
is being held and it is likely that his

THE FEDERAL LAND BANK
IS OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS.
Notice is hereby given that we have
instructions to receive applications for
loans on farm lands from the federal
Land Bank of Columbia.
The United States Supreme Court
has decided the question raised
against the bank in its favor. It has
been nearly twelve months since the
bank has ceased making loans and its
office force has been dismissed and
will have to be reassembled agaif
and the sale of farm loan bonds has
been discontinued pending this suit
and these sales win nave to De gotten
under way again as this is the
only source from which the bank obtains
money to loan.
So the applications that are now
put in may not be acted upon finally
and loans granted for several months.
In the present financial condition of
the country the bank is anxious to
do all it can to relieve the stress and
for that reason desires to make loans
first to parties who are most in need,
and while applications will be received
from all persons desiring to
make these those which appear to be
most pressing will be first made.
In view of the advance' rate of
money the interest on loans has been
raised from 5 1-2 to 6 per cent.
No loans are made by the Federal
Land Bank to any person except those
who are actually engaged in operating
their own farms.

WHAT INTERNAL
BATHING HAS DONE
FOR E. H WISCHEN
OF NEW ORLEANS
E. H. Wischen of 930 N. Gayoso St.,
New Orleans, La., writes Tyrrell's Hygienic
Institute of New York, as fol
lows:
"As to what the Cascade has done
for me, I can say that I suffered with
my stomach a long time. After running
from one doctor to another and
after consulting at least twenty doctors
and some cf the leading doctors
of my city, all with the exception of
' one of them wanted to .operate on
me. I was so sick that I even went
[ to Hot Springs, Ark., but got no relief,
so at last I made up my mind tp use
the Cascade as you instructed and I
went along using it for at least one
r
year, and since then I have had no
use for drugs at all| It is about*three
years ago that I started, since then I

if I feel a little out of the way or
have a cold, or headache, I just fall
back on it and it never goes back on
me. I would not part with it for
<
any amount of money."
, The "J. B. L. Cascade" cleanses the
lower intestine its entire length and
keeps it always free of poisonous
waste.
Thousands testify that Constipation,
Indigestion, Stomach Troubles, Biliousness,
Headaches and all the many
serious troubles which they cause are
absolutely relieved and prevented by
this Nature Treatment.

you the "J. B. L. Cascade," explain
its simple operation and will give you
