-Pathetic indeed are the incidents connected with the siucide of Mrs. Emma Roach, of Webster county, at the penitentiary yesterday. The remains of the uufortunate woman have been shipped to her former home at Dixon. The letter to the prison commissioner asking tor a parole gives the details of the crimes and the things which led her to kill her former husband. It was thru a mother's love for her child, she declared that drove her to fire the fatal shot.

The letter, dated November 10, 1906, is as follows: Frankfort, State Prison, Nov. 10, 1906. -Commissioner Sir. I was sentenced from Dixon for shooting and killing my divorced husband Gholson Teague. had come from Homer to visit, where I was living with my second husband.

Charles Roach. He had let me come back to my old home to visit my dear old father and two brothers. I had with me my two litte daughters, Vera, who 15 just bloomnng into young womanheod, and my little brown-eyed baby Ruth. The court gave me both my little girls and alimony, which he, Mr. Teague, and his son by a former marriage, tried to beat me out of, as I nelosed letter will show.

Mr. Teague abused me, until at last reached the limit of human indurance my health was all broken dewn and I appealed to the law for protection from that man, as he was a habitual drunkard. After spending a few happy weeks with my father and two brothers, I made my arreagements to go back to my distant heme. When Mr. Teague found out I was going he said I should sever take my baby back with me.

Then he or some one started the report that 1 had sold my children that I fought so hard for all the days before. I was to start away the next morning. He followed and made all sorts of threats against me, and being afraid of him and thinking my hfe in danger, and knowing he would try to take my baby by force, I concealed pistol and took wy little girls and my two brothers went with we to the depot to bid me goodbye, Richard and Robert Crenshaw. As was standing in the waiting room holding my baby by the hand, he. Teague.

came up and attempted to snatch her from me. I held on to her precious little form, and oh, bow dear she was to me at that 'moment, I never loved my baby quite so much as then. begged him to let go, and when my brothers saw us struggling they came to my rescue. Just as they took hold of him, in that awful, moment shot him I seem to have lost all reason, and being sick and nervous, I shot him one time. My little daughters are and always have been my most precious treasures, and God in heaven knows that my poor brothers are innocent and had no part in the trouble.

They are implicated just because they had their hands on him, trying to reason with him, trying get him to give up my baby but I was so crazed at that time that I was not responsible for what I did. You know, Dear Mr. Brown that it's the nature of the lowest creature that lives On earth to fight for her young and how much more would it be the nature of a buman mother to fight for her young. I did not to want burt the man. I was only thinking of my little delicate, tender child that was being so cruelly torn away from me.

1 was so blinded by grief and despair that I did not realize what I was doing. I knew that my baby was 10 danger. I did not have a just and fair trial or I would never have been convicted, and to think of my brothers being so unjustly confined. It was I who did the shooting. Not them.

Oh, what true mother would pot fight for her children that she suffered and brought into the world. My oldest daughter. Vera, fifteen years of age, needs my care and protection now more than ever. I do so want her to be educated, and my little baby Ruth is such a delicate child and does need a mother's love and care so much. But, if you cannot find it in your heart to give me my freedom, won't you please give my two brothers their freedom.

Richard has a wife and a sweet little baby who needs his care so much, and my dear old father needs my brother Robert's assistance SO much, and they are innocent. Oh, I do want to be free so 1 can take care of my little giris once more, but if you can't open your heart and let me have my liberty once more, won't you plesse give wy poor innocent brothers their freedom? beg of you in God's name to grant a brok-hearted mother and sister's prayers. I remain your humble servant. MRS. EMM.A ROACH.

They are caused by irratation in the air passages and can be relieved and cured by medicated air alone. In this lies the secret of the great success of Hy-0-mei in the treatment of oronchial troubles.

The first breath of Hy-0-mei's medicated air sooths the inflammation, stops the cough, and relief soon becomes permanent and a cure results. Hy- o- mei has made many remarkable cures in the worst and most chronical forms of bronchial troubles and is sold by Haynes Taylor with the same guarantee as they give when Hy-o-mei is purchased for catarrh, that is, to refund the money if the remedy does not give satisfaction. The complete outfit costs but $1.00. Newspaper Changes. The past week has witnessed more newspaper changes than ever before known in the history of Madisonville.
