Dr. Rus sell, who attended him, was of the opin- ion that the man could not recover For over thirty years Mockler was a watch man in the mills. A short time ago he had trouble with his wife, and soon after he began drinking heavily. He owns a house worth about $3,000, but his wife drove him from it and would not allow him to stay there. Since then he has done no work, spending his days in the bar rooms, and at night crawling into some barn to sleep. It is believed that he was injured some time Monday night. He says that he fell down, but he does not know where. The police think that he was carried to the barn intoxicated and fell down stairs, afterward crawling up to the loft, where he was found. It could not have been case of robbery, as about $1Q was found on his person, ~-' UNION.

Springfield, April. 1893.
 Winter is letting go his icy grip on the softening earth, and the sun is warm in the cheerful sky. But the breeze is the breath of departing win ter, the ground is damp with his shadow, and the very stars threaten as they shine. The winning days to come will be trying days, and the glorious nights will be trying nights. It is time to be cautious.
 The thick jacket or wrap will soon be an enemy. It will be a burden. Its warmth is heat, and heat weakens. Adapt your clothing to the changing season; avoid ex- tremes. Wear a spring jacket or cape. It is even safer than it is comfortable.
 Now we should stop here, if good advice were all we had in mind. We know very we'll that you'll take some risk rath- CT than put on your old wrap again. The new one is ready; and it is just to your liking, and just to your purse also. Now do you be just to your self.
