As usual, The True Northener leads in improve
ments and this time IL is addition TO the Office of
one Of the handiest machines we ever put in. The
cut at the head of the article gives very clear idea
of the kind broght to Van Buren, county. 1t il
just as effective II is neat and pretty. This little
machine occupies but 4x4 feet of floor space, and
the power 1t requires is not preceptible. few
rounds of ordinary Irvine on the main shaft forms
the pulley, and IL folds and delivers our large sheet
at the rate Of twenty TO the minute. 1t does away
with the loss of several hours of time and back
breaking work. When the press has printed the
edition the folder has also completed its work and
delivered s crisp neatly folded sheets to the mail
ing desks II fold four folds and can be changed to
any size of sheet i'm moment. Supplements or full
sheets can be folded in the original sheet just as
easily rs the single sheet, and think IT is the only
Folder now made that will do this. As we had never
seen a Folder before, we anticipated some trouble,
but the inventors directions were so clear and
plcit that our fears took wings, and it was running
and delivering sheets before had time 10 become
ANXIOUS. II is hand-feed machine and requires no
labor worth mentioning. The gratifying increase to
our subscription list during the year compelled addi-
tiona help OF the purchase Of Folder, and we will
never regret that we chose the latter. Thirty papers
per minute can be run as easily as twenty, but we
prefer to run both press and folder at precisely the
same rate Of speed.

crows. These poor things were dying with
starvation, and they could not resist the
temptation to hover about the ship. They
could not get the iood out of the water, but
stood on the blocks of ice, and looked en-
viously down into the waves at the drifting

could not stand still on the ice, or their feet

WILD BILL PsIRIEIEp.

There is a story going round Deadwood
that Wild Bills body is petrifed. When
the bullet from McCauPs si1-shooter pierced
the desperate, his body was buried in the
old cemetery at Deadwood. Several years
later dapper-looking fellow came to town.
He was mystery to the camp. He had
plenty of money, spent it lavishly upon
himself and seemed bent on some strange,
mission. Undertaken Smith had charge of
the removal of the bodies from the old
cemetery to the new burying ground on the
hill. One day the mysterious stranger in
camp approached the undertaken, who was
a good old fellow from the East.
II hear" he said, "that Wild Bills body
is petrifedI'
i'Petrifedp' exclaimed the honest old
undertaken, 81 took it up the other day and
there was no petrifcation about it then, it
was simply heavy. 1t was dried"
'I know better" said the stranger, 'I
have it from the best authority that Wild
Bill's body is petriied. am willing to
whack up a certified check for $15, 900 if you
will help me snake Bills body out of the
hill"
Undertaken Smith would not listen to the
proposition.
'.If you want to get Bills body out of the
grave" he replied with considerable en-
phasis, ''you must get away from me as
soon as you can. I won't have anything to
do with it,
The mysterious stranger loitered about
town a day or two longer. and then mys-
teriousiy diappeared. Six months later two
more mysterious men appeared in the camp.
They loitered about the streets and the new
cemetery as the other stranger had done,
and they, too, mysteriously disappeared.
The story Of the petrIfcation OF Wild
Bills body spread as mysteriouslY as was
the coming of the resurrectIonists. Rugged
men who knew and loved Wild Bill went
up to the new cemetery and looked at the
new mound of Clipped quartz and black
stone. 1t had not been disturbed, even the
strange red flower which is as crimson as
the career of the man who sleeps beneath
the bullet-riddled headboard, was still
there.
Wild Bills body may be petrifed. His
friends would like to believe it is, for it
would prove that the handiest man with
si1-shooter that ever lived was too good to
spoil,

PhiInnthropic Enterprises Tint Thrive Along
the New Jersey Coast.
LETTER TO THE DlsPATcH.I
No part Of the country abounds with 50
many institutions for the poor and afflicted
as the part of the New Jersey coast, near
Asbury Park. On First avenue in Asbury
Park isa large clearinghouse, known as
the Sea Rest. Here poor working-girls
from the city are entertained nicely at the
bare cost of table board. None are per-
mitted to remain over two ks unless
there should be left ample room for the
many applicants. The average price per
week is about S3 30. A number of promi-
nent and wealthy ladies are the patronesses
of this institution.
In Ocean Grove is Elm Cottage where
poor ministers and young men, studying
ior the ministry, are welcomed and we'll
cared for at $4 per week. All denomina-
tions are welcomed. A similar insti-
tuition is at Bradley Beach where poor peo-
pie who are worthy have been entertained
all summer free OF cost. They occupy
large house directly on the beach. The cost
of this place is borne by James A. Bradley,
of Brooklyn, the founder Of Asbury Park.
At tAvon-by-the-sea, or Key East,a Home
for IncurabIes has for several years been
supported by Philadelphia ladies. Here
the crippled children from the Quaker City
are given summer outing and medical at
tendance.
In addition to all this, q Memorial Hos
pital has just beeu established at Long
Branch; and branch of the New York
house Of the Good Shepherd, at Asbury
Park. All these institutions receive liberal
support from the summer visitors.

The sun had Just broken over the tops OF
the Ozarks one warm morning in summer.
The mist that always settles thickly over
these half mountains with the night all, was
going to pieces and disappearing as the sun
rose higher, leaving the green and dense
verdure heavy and wet with the dew. In
cosy nook, on log overhanging the wild
little stream that dashed down from gush-
ing spring above, native was seated.
earnestly playing jewsharp. He twanged
the vibrant metal with his thumb, keeping
time BY splashing one Of his bare ieet in the
clear water below. After ten minutes, dur
ing which time the sun had got high enough
to shine straight in his eyes, he took the
harp from his mouth and, wiping it on the
leg of his trousers, exclaimed: "Thar Ell
thet dom settl' Ter, whut will 2"
Before he had spoken another word q
stranger stepped from behind big tree and
addressed him: "That was the best tune
ever heard on one of those instruments"
The mountaineer looked at the stranger q
moment and then, drawing himself up in a
ter ?"
"Mean it7 OF course. Why do you
ask ?''

As the stranger moved on down the path,
the mountaineer struck up his tune again
and played with vim that was evidence
that the stranger had been telling the truth.
Along with the fiddle, the jewsharp still
ranks high as a musical instrument in the
mountain region Of Arkansas and Missouri.
A native who can't play the jewsharp is
looked upon as having very poor prospects.

caused BY catarrh, and that 1 might swallow
enough medicine to float ship and would
never get better without the aid of local treat
ments. 1 put myself under his treatment and

correct, as noticed decided change from the

In favor of his treatment"
PRAISE OF HOME TREATMENT FROM BEAVER
FALLS.
A lady patient from Beaver Falls writes: II
have observed instructions in regard to treat
ment faithfully as possible and must say 1 have
reveiveG beueht beyond my most sanguine ex-
pectations. The noises that troubled me so
long have almost entirely ceased through the
day onlv while eating or drinking, but they arc
still bad at night, but have so diminished that
they are not SO worrying. 1 have hopes that
your treatmenr, If persistently followed, will
have the desired effect"
TREATMENT IS A MONTH, MEDICINE III.
CLUDED.
Almost every day 1 hear of persons who
would like to take treatment Of me. but they
fear my terms are too low to permit Of good
work. To such patient wish TO say this: In
terview any person who ever treated
month or more by me and by other physicians
the same length of time, and will cheerfully
abide by the result. My early training as q
druggist taught me how to compound medi-
cines at the lea>t possible cost. and as l buy at
Wholesale, l get the lowest ubtainable price.
Ny monthly drug bills amount to as much az
that of some retail drug stores. In conclusion,
my treatment is for that class Of people who
earn their money by hard work and appreciate
the value of a dollar. / am doing work equal
that which some physicians charge from so to
$50 per month iOr. as will be vouched for by
scores Of patients.

Next morning the proprietor Of the but

with Miss Kate Delaide. 1t was granted,
and few minutes later Mrs. Skidder finds
herself alone in the private Office of the pro-

MIsERABLE END OF A DEBAUcH.
Young Man or Good Family Dies From nj
Overdose of Choral.

Overdose of Choral.
MARION, IND, August 30.-The most
startling sensation that has afforded food for
the gossips here in long time was the
death late this afternoon, of Glib Scott, a
young jeweler, at the house Of Kittie
Brown. Scott who was 80 years
of age, came here FIVE months ago
from Greenville, Pa, and entered the en-
ploy of II. s. Mark, the leading jeweler
OF this city. He was young man OF good
address, had excellent recommendation,
and was admitted to the best social circles
OF the city. His most serious weakness
was be would go upon an occasional spree.
On the 11th of this month he left on a
short vacation for his home at Greenvllle,
and last Monday evening he reached this
city, and the end o. long debauch, at the
same time. Not wishing to face hisemploy-
ers in this dilapidated condition, Scott was
driven to the place where he died, aud SO
we'll was the secret of his presence here kept
that not over halt dozen persons knew Of
his presence until his death was announced.
The inmates OF Miss Browns place state
that since yesterday Scott had been taking
chloral to quiet his nerves. About $50 he
com mplained of illness, and said he believed
he would go to bed. He undressed, and had
scarcely pulled the covers oyer him when
he had a slight convulsion, and with one or
two gasps he died. The Coroner found
among his effects a check on the Marion
Bank for 800, gold watch and several
hundred collars worth of diamonds and
other jewelry.
Scott belonged to an excellent family, and
among his letters of Recommendation was
found one written by the member of Con-
g.ess from the district in which he lived.
He was Past Grand in the order OF Odd
Fellows. One OF the most deplora5le feat-
ures connected with the case is the fact that
be was soon to have married young lady
at Greenyille. His parents were notified
by wire OF his death, and his remains are
held subject to their order.
