ASTONISHING Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case, and we consider it the
Guty of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed vas reported. Such
a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP can
not be. too, widely known. Ask your
Druggist about it. Sample bottles to
try sold at TO cents. Regular size rs
cents. For sale by j.. P. Brookins &
Son, Eaton, o., and j. IL. Bohn, Cam
den, q.

The Difference.

When a man goes to market he grabs
the basket and scoots around the cor
ner and slides into the market place
just like as if he knew all about it. He
buys the first butter he puts his eyes
Or, never inquiries to price and never
smells it to learn if it has travelled back
and forth on its own hook; he hustles
the first eggs in his basket he comes to,
never examining to see IF the hen tlrat
laid them was sick; he parades through
the butchers place and takes the first
meat that comes to hand, not under
standing for a minute that it's chuck
steak and a base ball bat couldn't pound
it soft; and he fills his basket with the
first things that he lights on that he is
in need of. When he goes home there
is a scene. We will draw the. veil over
the scene. When a woman goes to
market she isn't in y hurry. She am
bles gently and leisrrely down the
street, looking in millinery stores and
gazing in windows and finally strikes
the market place, She goes carefully
over the various things-takes a pre-
liminary survey, as it We're, and buys
a little here and a little there. She
plouglis her thumb in the butter and
tastes it (the butter not the thumb,)
and carefully inspects the chen fruit"
and makes the nan selling them swear
they were laid day before yesterday,
and then she prods tho NEST with her
finger aud wants to know if that beef
is Noah's original, and you can't fool
her, aud what's the least will the man
sell it for, and finally buys a pound of
sausage because she knows it's fresh !;
her vegetables are purchased with al
eye to quality and quantity, and if the
huckster gets the better of her in a bar
gain it's because she is deeply occupied
in figuring how she can get her basket
filed and have enough left to buy a
pair of jet earrings she saw in a win
dow OF her way to market. Finally
when she reaches home she throws a
glance of scorn at tie male part of the
family and wreathes her face with a
sarcastic smile wien she tells him that
going to market is better than looking
at a circus. And he believes her. :,

Sudden Death Of Dr.. J. P. Brookins.

The citizens of Eaton were shocked
on Monday afternoon last by the pain
full intelligence that DR.. JOHN P.
BRooK1Ns had suddenly expired at his
residence, OIL Beech street. from apop-
lexy. The DR.. was about his Drug
Store as usual all day on Monday and
as lively as ever, until about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, when feeling a little
unwell he started for his home, q few
squares from his place of business,
and barely reached it before the fatal
stroke came upon him, and he expired
in a very short time, surrounded by
his family and a few friends who had
gathered in at the alarm.
We believe DR.. Brookins was born
in Shippensburg, Cumberland Coun-
ty, Pa, in the year 1901, and was in
his 77th year at the time fhis death,
and from temperate and good habits,
was a very active nan for his age. He
emigrated to Ohio at q very early age,
and located in the town Of Redwood,
where he practiced his profession I'M
til the year 1S47, when he came into
the town of Eaton, and in connection
with his practice started a Drug
Store, in which, in partnership with
his son, he remained until the day of
his death. AS a citizen, DR.. Brook
ins was respected, hoEored and devot-
ed to the commo IN good as man,
his relations to his fellow-men were
pleasant and agreeable; his eminent
social qualities, his sturdy, upright,
answering honesty of purpose, made
him a valued citizen aud his social
and genial nature won him hosts of
friends. His pleasant manners, his
social and jovial ways, will be much
missed around his old place of bust
ness, and it will be d long time before
they will be entirely effaced from the
memories of his many and familiar
friends. He leaves III aged and fee
BILE wife, a son, several grand-child-
rem, and many warn friends TO mourn
and regret his death-at a good old
ripe age.
He was member of the Knight
Temushrs of Dayton, and was buried
by that organization.

A leading building and lumber firm
of this county agreed last summer to
build a residence for Que of the citi-
zcns of our county for $1,000 cash.
The fact that when the house was
completed the owner was able to pay
$500 in cash and was compelled TO
give his note for 1898, does not indi-
cate an overproduction of money.

Jason Gillett, formerly Of this
city, but now land agent for Kan
sas railroad lands, now rushes in
to print with an article in favor OF
the land for which he is agent, and
for which he obtains a commission
on all lands sold to parties from
this part of Michigan. He gives
prices of produce in Kansas, but
they do not correspond with pT-
vate letters received in this COM
munity, by a considerable, and we
are therefore inclined TO believe
that the prices given by him are
erroneous. 1t is only few weeks
since we saw letter from PARTIES
in Kansas to friends in Alpena
county. and in thatletter the writer
said that corn was worth Is cents
per bnshel, oats II cents, butter 5
cents, eggs 4 cents. But then, the
force of Mr.. Gillett's argument is
entirely lost when he states that
the Object sought is to encourage
men with money to go to Kansas
They do not want any poor people
there, and only ask for those who
have money enough TO enable land
sharks TO increase their wealth.
They want the Kansas emigration
to help enrich the railroad corpor-
atoms owning lands, by handing
over their cash. Now il q man can
do nothing without a young for
tune to commence with in Kansas,
he may better stay at home, for with
money TO begin with man can start
at farming or any other business
he chooses in any country. How
ever, we are pleased to learn that
Mr.. Gillett's boys are doing good
business, for it appears that when
at home Mr.. G. is too much troubled
with rheumatism in Kansas to per-
init Of his remaining there much
of the time.

Thunder Bay Island.

Last week we made q trip to the
above named island, which is sit
mated about twelve miles east of
this city, in the lake, and which is
most beautiful spot for picnic
parties. We landed at the Life
Saving Station, which is in charge
of Capt. j. ID. Persons, who seems
to have the faculty of keeping
everything in the best of shape
All the life saving apparatus is ar
range in neat and convenient order,
and the crew, eight in number, are
thoroughly drilled for the impor-
tant position which they hold. 1t
is a part of the duty of the meu
at the station to patrol the shores
of the island at night and keep mp
vigilant watch, in case their
services may be required, and four
men are on watch during the fore
part of the night, and then the
other four come to their relief, the
latter remaining on duty till MORN
ing. As far as we were able to
Judge from the general appearance,
Capt. Persons thoroughly under
stands and practices the rules by
which the station is governed, and
we could not refrain from noticing
that every department in oonnec-
ton with the whole institution was
in the neatest condition, far sur
passing in order, cleanliness and
neatness more than half the parlors
in the country. In our opinion,
the Life Saving Station on Thunder
Bay Island Is presided over in an
excellent manner, and is all that it
should he.
We also took occasion to visit
the Thunder Bay Island Light
hous, which Is in charge of Capt.
PHI. Mcclure. Here we found
everything 10 connection with the
lighthouse as neat rs a new bonnet
tho grounds, buildings, arpara-
tbs, ETC., appearing the very model
of neatness. At this point is also
situated the fog whistle, which when
