Lines Affectionately Dedicated to the
Memory of Our Dear Brother,
F. M. Bamberg.
Time and again during the past four
weeks have I tried to write a few lines to
the memory of our dear good brother, but
each time blinding tears would fill my
eyes and the pen would have to be laid
aside. It is natural for us to magnify
the virtues of our loved ones, but after
1 '?*? ?'?ttion aniT ntlA
an we tmew luclu wuu
else, then why should we not with propriety
speak of these things.
His life so fully demonstrated the possibilities
of American citizenship. Young
men can find encouragement and inspiration
in the fact that he made his way
from a penniless orphan to a man of
wealth and influence. And those who
are nearing the boundary of life can find
consolation and example in the superb
manner in which he fought his final
battle, his courage and his fortitude in
the closing days of his life, recalling the
bravery he showed as a soldier. He was
a man of immaculate purity. No stain
was upon his escutcheon; no syllable of
suspicion was ever heard whispered
against his character; he walked in noble
and perfect self control. He had a great
and generous love for his fellow man; he
knew their labors, struggles, and necessities,
and was ever ready to help them
with his money and good advice.
From early manhood he had been a
member of the Methodist church. It was
the church of his parents, the church
where he had been trained from childhood
and where was laid the foundation
of that solid symmetrical character for
which he was so distinguished. And to
his church and educationl institutions his'
- ' 4.:^
purse strings were aiways uuucu.
Domestic happiness'has never been
better illustrated than in his life, a life
that closed so quietly, so peaceably that
we scarcely knew when he breathed his
last. Oh! what sundering of strong warm
manhood's friendship, what bitter rendering
of sweet household ties. The wife of
his youth whose whole life lay in his.
Six lovely daughters to whom his devotion
forms one of the loveliest and purest
pictures of the past, and two sturdy sons
just springing into the closest companionship,
how they will miss his wise and
loving counsel.
But we'll cling to the links of a broken
chain.
With the tenderness of love,
And patiently wait as the bright days
wane
That at last we can gather them up again
In fields that bloom above.
Sister A. D. J.
A CREEPING DEATH.
Blood poison creeps towards the heart,
causing death. J. E. Stearns, Bell Plaine,
Minn., writes that a friend dreadfullyinjured
his hand, which swelled up like
blood poisoning. Bucklen's Arnica Salve
drew out the poison, healed .the wound,
and saved his life. Best in the world for
burns and sores. 25c at all druggists at
Bamberg; Felder & Matthews, Denmark.

those days to see the different grades at

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Repeated
attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
ezposesthe nerves of the stomach, thus causing
the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the Juices of natural digestion. This it
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

membranes lining the stomach, protects the

I suffered for four months with I.

I had a sinking feeling in my I
stomach which no medicine seemed I
to relieve, and losing my appetite B
BI became weak and lost my vital- B
B ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen B

B certainly very pleased with the B
I results. Within three days my
I appetite returned and my stomach

and the nervousness gradually
diminished. Nature performed
her functions without difficulty H
and I am once more a happy and

On Nov. 10, 1904, Zoila Sanchez, child
of Francisco Diaz Sanchez and Anna
Peres de Sanchez, twenty months old,
disappeared from ber home on the. outskirts
of Guira de Melena, a town
about thirty-five miles from Havana.

banana patch while she went back
to the house about her work, for the
Sanchezes are poor white people. The
parents made a frantic search for the
baby, hot were unsuccessful in tracing,
her, says a Havana correspondent
Then it was recalled that a few days
before Virginia Perdomo, aged three
years, hod been enticed from her borne
by a negress, but had been recovered.
The colored settlement was watched,
as it was a well known fact that several
notorious witch doctors were practicing
their rites in the community.
Nothing was discovered until Nov.
26, when the body of Zoila in a good
state of preservation was found in a
thicket near the Zuniga farm. An incision
bad been made between the ribs
and the heart removed, presumably
while the child was still alive,
A great cry went up from the people
to send Judge Gonzales Landa, a famous
criminal expert, to the scene of
the crime to disentangle the mystery.
Judge Landa was appointed to investigate
and went at once to Guira. The
result was the arrest of twelve persons
of both aexes and the detention of 125
witnesses.
Domingo Bouconrt, an old African
negro otf powerful physique, is the chief
witch doctor., and he is accused of hav
lng planned the murder, rue cnier
witness foe the prosecution Is Luisa
Leal, a mulatto, who testified that she
lived tn the house of a couple named
Tabares and had heard that Boucourt
ordered poultices prepared with the
blood of a white person for Juana Tabares.
The reputed witches were
brought to trial on March 10, four
months from the date of the crime,
with Judge Landa presiding. Five
other judges sat with him.
Judge Landa ordered the clothes of
Victor Molina and Ruperton Ponce,
who were accused of abducting the
child, sent to the national laboratory
to be chemically analysed, and the
stains thereon were found to be il-ose
of human blood. Two knives identified
88 belonging to Molina and Julian
Amaro were also stained.
It was proved by the prosecution that
Juana Tabares, who had given birth
to six children, none of whom had lived,
being about to be confined again,
sent her husband, Pablo Tabares, to
consult with Domingo Boucourt A
meeting of the witches was held in the
house of Adela Luis, at which it was

that she knew nothing of the murder.

its case and uncovered a mass of superstition
and ignorenoa fearful In Its
possibilities of crime. All Outre knew
of the witch doctors and of their secret
sessions and had beard that Boucourt
had said that Juana Ta bares
could only be cured by the blood of a
white person, both taken Internally
and used tn the form of poultices. The
death penalty was asked for some of
the prisoners and many years' imprisonment
for others.
