FATAL ACCIDENT.

The fatal occurrence on Thursday of
last week, which resulted in the death of
man by the name of 0. M. Croker,
we are told, was briefly as follows :
Mr.. Croker and another man were
driving into this city from the west, on
Prairie avenue, with a two-horse car
riage. The team was spirited one,
and Mr.. Croker had the lines fastened
around his body. The horses, for some
cause, took fright and ran away. In the
attempt to stop them, Mr.. Croker and
the man with him were thrown out.
Mr.. Croker, with the lines fastened
around him, was dragged on the frozen
ground over quarter of mile; he
was picked up senseless, and after being
carried temporarily into the nearest
house Mr. Josiah Bonds was taken to
the Grant House. Medical aid was
summoned, but of no avail. His bruises
and torn flesh were frightful to look up.
on His wife was summoned by tele-
graph and came from Beloit, but found
him insensible, in which condition he
remained until 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, when he passed away. He
was buried in the city cemetery little
before dark on Saturday. He leaves &
wife and three children in Beloit, said tt
be in poor circumstances. His funera
expenses here were paid by a half-broth
er. Mr.. Croker was engaged as a travel
ing agent of cigar factory in Beloit
He had been accustomed to come to thi
county to supply dealers in his time.

Ing had for some time Insurance Poll

Company, and we, in consequence, hav-
ing kept ourselves advised as to the
state of his health, it Is within my per-
s0nal knowledge that he became seri-
ously affected with Asthma and Bron-
chitis in the year 1S74-so much so
that his life was despaired of by his
physician and friends.
1t is also my belief, from information,
not only from himself, but others, that
he has cured himself by the use of his
remedy, now known as "Chester's
Cure" and that he is now fully recover
ed and considered one of our best risks.

DEAR Mr.. CHESTER.
In regard to your Cure, can say that
[ think it an excellent preparation. 1
nave used it and have come much in
contact with its use. The best estimate
of its intrinsic worth is to be drawn
from the fact that the sales increase
steadily with little or no advertising
One person recommends it to another,
and lis sale is based, in my opinion,
more upon its WORTH as a remedy than
upon the results Of public advertising
done in the past. Yours truly,
