A Boon to Humanity.

A number of our great and most in
veterate tobacco smokers and chewers
have quit the use of the filthy weed.
The talismanic article that does the
work is No-to-bac. The reform was
started by Aaron Gerber, who was
confirmed slave for many years TO the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of
No-to-bac, and to his great surprise
and delight it cured hum. Hon. &. w.
Ashcom, who had been smoking for
sixty years, tried No-to-bac, and it
cured him. Col. Samuel Stoutener,
who would eat up tobacco like a COW
eats hay, tried this wonderful remedy,
and even Samuel, after all his years of
slavery, lost the desire. j. c. Cobler,
Leasing Evans, Frank Dell, George Il.
May, &. o. Skillington, Hanson Robi-
nett, Frank Hershberger, John Shinn
and others have since tried MOTTO Bac,
and in every case they report not only
a cure of the tobacco habit, but a won
derful improvement in their general
physical and mental condition, all of
which goes to show that the use of
tobacco had been injurious to them in
more ways than one.
All of the above gentlemen are so
well pleased with the results that we
do not hesitate TO join them in recon-
mending it to suffering humanity, as
we have thoroughly investigated and
are satisfied that No-to-bac does the
work well and is a boon to mankind.
The cost is trifiing-a dollar a box
and the makers, The Sterling Remedy
company, have SO much faith in MOTTO
bac that they absolutely guarantee
three boxes to cure any case, or refund
money. One box in every instance in
the above effected cure, with one or
two exceptions. No-to-bac has won
derful sale upon its merits alone
throughout the United States, and can
be secured at aim ost any drug store in
tins country or Canada, and it is made
by The Sterling Remedy company,

Three Killed by oareIes.ness.

On the Buffalo, Rochester &c Pitts
burg railroad the first section of train
33 was to take on some cars at
Rock Glen, near Warsaw, N. Y. Ten
empty coal cars and the caboose were
left on the main track in charge of a
flagman, who must have gone to sleep
and failed to set the brakes. The cars
and caboose, in which three men were
doubtless asleep, ran down hill at a
fearful speed and struck the engine on
the second section, just as 1t was
pulling out of the west end of the
yard. The caboose and six coal cars
were utterly wrecked and the three
men killed.

THERE'LL BE A MERRY WAR.
Berrien's County Seat to be Moved and
Niles and ST. Joseph are After At.

Niles and ~. Joseph are After 1t.
The county supervisors of Berrien
county have decided to submit TO the
people next April the question of NOV
ing the county seat from Berrien
Springs. The fight will be between
the twin cities-St. Joseph and Benton
Harbor-on one hand the city of Niles
on the other. The following dispatches
of the claims of each show the feeling
already working:
st. Joseph: This city has clear
claim for the county seat of Berrien
county. The site offered is valued at
$4,000 This is a most desirable loca-
ton, being directly accessible from
every township in the county, except
two, by four railroads now, and before
1895 the spur of the trans-continenta
railway from Napanee will be bdllt,
making fifth railroad, and bringing
the immense steel plant, with 1000
workmen and their families. This
will make combined city of the twin
cities of not less than 5000 inhabit-
ants. The site offered by st. Joseph
is on the bluff overlooking the st.
Joseph and Paw Paw rivers, Lake
Michigan, and many miles of beauti-
full country. There is little doubt
about st. Joseph winning the prize
next April.
Niles: The fight over the que stion
of the removal of the county seat will
be hot one. St. Joseph offers a site
only. Niles offered $50, 900 and site.
There is great Indignation here at the
action of the board, who are consid-
cred lot of chumps for attempting to
give away what they could have got
$50 900 or SIS, 600 for in just as good a
location. The population interested is
about equally divided for and against,
but it is believed the former generally
will not favor the proposition, as to
erect by county taxation the nee essary
buildings will cost 500, 600 and add 30
per cent to the county taxation for
20 years to come. The fight will be a
hot one and the vote close.

SPLIT HIS HEAD WITH AN AXE
A Most Brutal Murder of An Inoffensive
Old Man Near Hastings.


Leroy Rogers, an old bachelor about
GO years of age, living alone on his 40
acre farm in Rutland township, Barry
county, was found cruelty murdered
in his house, everything giving evil
dence of terrible struggle. The deed
which was horrible one, was commit
ted with an axe, the blade of which
was buried deep into the neck of the
victim while the skull just above the
eye was crushed in with the butt of
the axe.
The murder had only been commit
ted two or three hours when discovered
by neighbor. The body was yet
warm and there was fire in the
kitchen stove. A tall man had been
seen near the house two hours before,
but not the slightest clue has been
found as to who was the perpetrator of
the deed. The motive for the crime
was evidently robbery, though i: is
not supposed that the old gentleman
was possessed of very much money.
His watch and revolver that he was
known TO have are missing.

Detroit's wholesale District suffers from
e5O,OOO.-Judge Smith Retires.

The employees of Il. II. Hinchman &
Sons wholesale drug house, rs and 70
Jefferson avenue, Detroit, had just
left the building when fire was discov-
cred by the watchman of store oppo-
site. Several alarms were sent in but
the flames had such combustible fuel
to feed upon that the entire building
was soon mass ID rolling fire and
smoke. The building extends through
back TO Woodbridge street and it was
at this end the fire demon seemed
fiercest. From this END also the flames
were communicated to the large whole
sale hardware house of STANDARD Bros,
90 to 90 Woodbridge street. This
building-a fve-sJory structure-did
not begin to burn until the Hinchman
fire had begun TO recede so nearly all
of the frc-fighting apparatus was
turned upon it. The principal loss to
STANDARD Bros. was from water which
flooded every floor.
There were eleven engines, two
chemicals, three trucks, the water
tower and the tireboat working, and
the last two poured such streams of
water upon the flames that the spread
ing which would otherwise have oc-
Cured was prevented. 1t is the opinion

huge conhagration would have hap
pened had it not been for the remark
able work of the ireboat and the
water tower. Notwithstanding the
highly combustible stock of goods in
the Hinchman fire the flames were
prevented from reaching the basement
where the OIL paints, liquors, etc,
were stored, otherwise dangerous eX-
plosions might have taken place.
IL. ii. Hinchman & Sons loss is
estimated at 100000; insurance,
$50, 900; STANDARD Bros. stock valued
at $4,000, carried an insurance of
SOC, 900; the building was damaged to
the extent of $4,000 w. IL. Edgar IL
Son, wholesale sugar dealers, carried
a stock of $50, 900, but the hard work
of the fremen prevented the fire
reaching them, and their only loss was
upon few barrels of sugar from
water. The drug firm of 7. Ii. Hinch-
man & Sons is one of the business
firms prominent among the old land
marks of Detroit. The original estab-
lishment dates as far back in the early
history of the city as the year 1919.

packages. She opened it eagerly
and to his horror he saw it was
only a piece Of brown cardboard
with the inscription, "Do you veal
