Find That Sophie Kloeckler Ww Choked to Death. Atlanta., June 1.—Governor Joseph M. Terrell issued a proclamation yea terrlay morning ofT* ring a reward ol $2uO for the arrest ami conviction ol the murderer or murderers of Miss Sophie Kloeckler, whose body was found in Lakewood lake toot Thurs day morning, and who is believed tc have been murdered and her body thrown into the lake. Miss Kloeckler’s body will be ex humed today and a post mortem ex amination made. This was decided upon at a confer ence between Chief of Police John W. Pall and Coroner Stamps. The family has agreed to the* matter and want all of the light possible thrown on the case The family believes firmly in the murder theory and will adhere to this until it Is proven beyond a doubt that the young woman took her own life. Their claim is that she was in toe good a frame of mind just a short time before her death that she had no troubles or worries that would cause her to end her existence, and even had she decided on this course she would have left some note that would have relieved her mother of any un certainty as to her fate. The ilost mortem is held because ol the fact that the public demanded that the matter be investigated fully, they not being satisfied with the deci sion of the coroner’s jury, It being classed as a snap judgment verdict.

It cured my on after he had spent 1100 with doctors. It is all the med icine I take.”—MBS. CAROLINE MARTIN, Parkersburg, W. V». If your liver doe# not act reg ularly go to your druggist and secure a package of Thedford’s Black-Draught and take a dose tonight. This great family medicine frees the constipated bowels, stirs up the torpid liver and causes a nealthy secretion of bile. Thedford’s Black - Draught will cleanse the bowels of im purities and strengthen the kid- nevs. A torpid liver invites colds, biliousness, chills and fever and all manner of sick ness and contagion. Weak kid neys result in Bright's disease which claims as many victims as consumption. A 25-cent package of Thedford’s Black- 1 Taught should always be kept in the house. “I used Thedford’s Black- braught for liver and kidney com plaints and found nothing to excel ft ’-WILLIAM COFFMAN, Mar blehead, 111.

The body of Miss Kloeckler -was ex< burned this morning and it was. found that the young woman’ had been mur dered. Evidences that there had been an attempt to assault the young woman were also brought out by a careful examination. The interior of the throat gave ab solute evidence of the fact that the young woman had boon brutally treat ed. The blood vessels were swollen and disarranged. The coroner's jury will be recon vened at once. Drs. E. L. Griffin, J. W. Mitchell, John B. Wilkins, D. X. Holliday and E. D. Richardson conducted the ex amination Chief Ball, (Thief Turner, Detectives Fogg and Ixickhart were at Westview when the decision of the doctors was made known. They reported at once, and Chiel Ball hurried to police station. Additional detectives have been hur ried out and every effort to locate the murderer of the young woman will be made. The doctors refuse to give out any statement whatever, but the coroner has announced that the jury that de clared th eyoung woman a suicide will meet at once to receive new evidence. The newly discovered evidence bears out every contention made by the friends and family of the young wo man. in view of the newly discovered ev idence the police are now justified in folowing to their conclusioc clews ol a sensational nature. An arrest will probably he made this afternoon. It would have come ear lier, but the snap verdict of the first coroner’s jury put the officers in an awkward position. Der GJ’-nn&n Cobbler K.

BYDALE'S TOMS A REAL CURE FOR Xj_A. JE^rl . It has recently ’)een discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine. Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freein" them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.
