Sudden Death of Mrs. Cory, of
Adrian.

Adrian.
The news of the sudden death of
Mrs. G. NJ. Cory of Adrian reached
this city Monday evening. The lady
was enjoying her usual good health
Monday morning, and the Judge
having legal business in the country
left her for the day and returned
at about eight o'clock in the evening.
Not seeing light at his home he
supposed she had gone to neigh
boris for call. He went home soon
after and, lighting lamp, was hor-
rifed to find his wife dead in her
room.s These brief particulars are all
we have been able to learn. The
Judge is stunned by the awful blow,
and has the sympathy of all in his
great affection. Rev. w. J. Robin
son of this place preached the funer-
al sermon yesterday at two O'Clock. .

Farmer. Killed.

NJ Tuesday evening Elias johnson,
: who owns large farm south of town,
was returning from the fair grounds
where he had been to make some
entries for exhibition, and when near
the lake his horse, high spirited
animal, became unmanagable and
started to run. Mr.. johnson was
sitting in the buggy behind and S.
Kindlund was driving. When Mr..
Kindlund regained control of the
horse he looked around and discov-
cred that Mr.. johnson was missing:
He went back some distance and
found him, stunned and bruised.
Friends carried him up town and in
to DR.. Clark's office. AS soon as the
doctor returned he made an ex-
animation and found the victim was
suffering from conclusion of the
brain. There was aslight abrasion on
the scalp and one at the base of the
brain. DIR. Clark suggested that he
be taken to hotel where he could
be made comfortable and as soon as
he regained consciousness could as
certain how badly he was injured.
Accordingly he was removed to the
Western Hotel. DR.. Dolan had in
the meantime also been summoned.
Mr.. johnson was more seriously in
jured than was at first supposed, and
at eight o'clock passed away, appar-
emily in great agony.
Deceased leaves a wife in comfort
able circumstances. There were no
children. He was about forty-fiv
years of age. Funeral services were
held yesterday.

home 800 pounds of flour. He said
he had heard the Worthington mills
we're turning out a superior grade of
-four, the best that had ever been
manufactured in this part of the state,
and he proposed to come over and
get load of it, remarking also that
his neighbors were coming, too. This
is an important item for Worthing-
ton, and we believe it is appreciated
by the people of the city, as attested
by the fact that nearly every family
in town use the local hour-they use
it because it is better than the -four
that has been shipped in from other
towns. Every merchant in Worth
ington handles the local -four and it
takes the lead by fully ninety per
cent. of any they have ever carried.

Thnnpht They Were Worth 1t.

Billings was a travelling man, carry
ing a line Of handkerchiefs and neck
wear. He met a rather attractive young
woman ON one of his trips, and before
ne realized how i'll it comported with
his duties he had married her.
Nature had never intended him for a
married man. and he was seldom at
home. even when his duties would have
permitted him. Finally he became ir-
regular in the matter of remittances,
and his wife, needing some pin money,
took down his route book and found a
letter would reach him at Peru, Ind. So
she wrote him there, asking for $40. He
was III the Bearss House billiard room
when he read the letter. He had no $40
to spare. He needed all his money for
his own follies.
But the request annoyed him. He got
up. walked about the room for a mo-
ment. and his eyes at length rested on a
deck of cards, lying where some man
had completed game of solitaire. The
top card ON each pile was a nine spot.
Billings looked at them a moment,
then picked up the four cards, inclosed
them in an envelope and sent it to his
wife. AT Charlottesville he received an
other letter from her, demanding in in
dignant terms what he meant by sending
her four mines. He sat down in the writ.
ing room of the Robbins House and
wrote the following reply.
You wanted $40. l sent you -four
mines. Four mines are worth $40 any
time. Chicago Herald.
