THE LEAVENWORTH TIMES, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10. 1910 SOLDI ELDER HENRY CUNNINGHAM Recommends Vtnoi For Weak, Rim-Down People. I was run down and weak from Indigestion and general debility, also suffered from vertigo. I saw a cod liver preparation called Vinol advertised and decided to give it a trial, and the results were most gratifying. been working, and a companion who visited him that night found him in bed.

scarcely able to talk. On his throat were several severe bruises. "I was awakened out of my sleep last night by the sound of some one coming up the stairs." he explained. "It was a heavy tread, like a man's. It came to my door, which was open.

There it stopped for a minute; then the steps sounded in the room, nearer and nearer to my bed. "All at once something grabbed me by the throat. It was like two strong hands, cold and wet. They choked me one quick, hard grasp. When I got my hands to my throat the choking flopped.

But the steps sounded again, going out of the room and down the stairs. I saw nothing either when the st-jps came into the room or went out. And when I got a lamp and looked through the house there was no one to be found." Marimo's fellow countrymen believed the story as he told it over and over and exhibited the marks upon his neck. But the Manhasset people generally laughed at it as an imaginative yarn, and said Tony had been in some sort of a row and got marked up. But later in the week something happened that stopped the laughing.

Margarita, Tony's twelve-year-old daughter, didn't appear at the village school for two days, and when inquiries were made about her absence, she said: "I haven't been able to talk for two days. I was choked by something." The little girl is a bright, sensible American youngster. She told practically the same story as her father, except that she did not hear any approaching footsteps. "All of a sudden something grabbed me by the neck while I was asleep," she said. "I got awake, but there was nothing there.

Cold hands had hold of me, and squeezed my throat so tight that I couldn't call for my father, or make a sound. I thought I would die. When the hands let go of me there was a noise like some one going out of the room. I ran to papa, and could hardly make him After taking two bottles I regained my strength, and am now feeling unusually well." HENRY CUNNINGHAM, Elder Baptist Church, Kinston, N.C. Vinol contains the two most world-famed tonics the medicinal, strengthening, body-building elements of Cod Liver Oil and Tonic Iron.

Vinol contains no oil, and is by far the Best Strengthening Tonic obtainable. We return your money without question if Vinol does not accomplish all we claim for it. Mehl Schott, Druggists, Learenworth. Men Are as Helpless as Children When Taken Suddenly III Here is a Common-Sense Safeuird Big, strong man is as a helpless infant when he is suddenly ill. The sturdiest chap in town usually loses his self-control, and is utterly unable to regard his condition with 'the common sense that characterizes his everyday actions.

For example He comes home tired, eats a heavy dinner, and sits down to read and smoke away a quiet evening. he notices a weight on his stomach; then sharp pains around his heart, and a feeling of suffocation, thoughts of "heart disease" rush over him. and in his agony he fears he worst. His trouble was acute indigestion brought on by overloading his tired stomach. A couple of Dyspepsia Tablets would have given him instant relief would have saved him hours of suffering.

Carry a package of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets in your vest pocket, or keep them in your room. Take one after each heavy meal and indigestion will not bother you.

Butts Confident. According to a statement made by the general superintendent of the Maple Leaf Railroad, that company will reinstate its passenger office in the city in the very near future. "The present condition was entered into tinder force and is only a makeshift. We will come back into Leavenworth very shortly." This is the statement made to one of the former employes of the road. It is possible that the Maple Leaf will open a downtown ticket office.

If the Maple Leaf re-enters the city, it will use the Mipsouri Pacific tracks as far as Kansas City, but it has not as yet been decided whether or not it will use the Union Depot. It has also been said that the plan of using the old gas house on Choctaw street as a location for a freight depot has not been entirely cast aside and is still under consideration. J. O. Buttz, the local agent, says that he is confident the road will put Leavenworth on its map very shortly and that the conditions under which it will come into the city will be very much improved from those under which it left.

It. GIOST CHOKES MANHASSET VILLAGERS Although It Cannot Be Seen, It Leaves Finger-Print Marks on Victim's Throats. New York, Feb. 9. A ghost that is invisible, yet is audible, and that lias hands strong enough to leave marks upon whatever it grips, has gut the old village of Manhasset, L.

so worked up that its people are keeping a quarter of a mile away from the habitant of the specter in their journeyings about the country. A father, his little daughter and one of the father's friends are exhibiting linger prints on various parts of their bodies which, they vow. were made by no human agency. And they all declare that although they felt the pressure of hands upon them, and heard the opproach and departure of "something." they saw absolutely nothing. Tony Marino, an intelligent Americanized Italian, whose neighbors ay hf never indulges in chianti or other hobgoblin-producing beverages, was the first sufferer from the ghost, and it is his house that is haunted.

He lives in an old cottage that was built in the days of the Revolution an 1 stands in a little lane not very far from the Manchasset station. One morning about a week ago he did not appear at understand, because i couia oniy wius-pcr." On Margarita's throat, even yesterday, were faint marks that seemed to indicate a strong pressure of some sort. Angelo Garivu. a stalwart friend of Marino, volunteered to stay in the haunted house alone Saturday night, while the father and daughter went to a. neighbor's.

He came running out of the place about midnight, swearing that he would never go back there, and calling for men to come with rifles loaded with bullets blessed by a priest, so that the "thing," invisible though it was, might be laid low with a shot. "I was sitting wide awake, smoking a pipe, when there was a step right beside me," he said. "I jumped to one side and felt something cold brush along my neck. I struck out with my fists, but there was nothing to hit. Then I started to run for the front door.

Two hands grabbed me by the arm and see here!" There was a black and blue mark on Garvia's upper arm. "The hands held on to me until 1 got outside the house." he declared. "And there were other footsteps besides my own." Despite the highly excitable sources of the ghost storv. the Manhasset people began to take "it with some seriousness and the little lane in which stands Marino's house was given a wider berth than ever. The house was originally built in a section of the village known as "the Valley." About twenty-five years ago it was reputed to be haunted, and the man then owned it moved it about a mile to its present location, in order to down the stories about it.

Xow Marino contemplates moving it again to lay the present specter. The annual meeting of the Northeastern Teachers' Association will be held in Sen- eca. this year.

These aurae pulsate with our celestial being, and it is the proper harmony of these aurae that goes to make up the proper combination of human beings." Such was the main thought of Dr. De Witt Talmage Van Doren's second lecture in the Norwalk, Baptist Church. "We are not poor, we only think we are; we are not sickly, we only-thing we are; the idea of letting a physicial part, say the liver, control the real power, the brain why. it's preposterous, et us have faith in ourselves and in God and think such is not the case, and it will not be the case." At the outset Dr. Van Doren said: never expect to die.

I never expect to lose my interest in mundane adairs. One hundred and twenty years from now I expect to be actively working for enslaved humanity. Death means to me little more than a change of resi dence, and there is always a pleasure in moving from one place to another more beautiful. believe that, punishment endures no longer than the sin; I also believe in changeless law.
