The hygienic craze has permeated

you must in this case, as in all 9th
ers. make your choice between two
evils. II is a question now of face or
figure.
That the very stoutest people can
decrease their size by following strict
dietetic rules cannot be doubted. since
a duke has lost IL inches of girtb

In selecting bananas it is well to
remember that the fruit which is
largest, the deepest yellow and the
least angular is, as a rule, the best.
One who has become banana wise
through looking into their culture in
Jamaica, where most of the bananas
that come to our market are grown,
denies the current belief that bananas
are r1pened on the plant in that coun-
try, and therefore superior to those
that are cut green.-New York Times.

Adjudgsd d Insane.

Harry Allen, of near Salisbu ~,
was adjudged insane by a jury in
Judge II. c. Minter's court last We'd
nesday afternoon, and will be ad-
mitted to the st. Joseph insane asy-
lum as q private patient.
Allen ran q saloon in Salisbury
four or five years ago, and met with
quite q financial loss. He went to
Colorado, but returned to this coun-
ty last November.
This spring and summer he had
been working very hard on the farm,
and, 10 is said, put IN and cultivated
60 acres of corn, which he had just
commenced to plow over for the
fourth time, with only g days help,
during the season.
1t is thought his enfeebled mental
condition is due to ovsrwork and
grief over his financial reverses while
In the saloon business, and will be
only of a temporary nature. which,
we trust, viii prove to be the case.

HIS LAST BATH.

Peter Koleph, "a native of Germany,
who had been in the United States
for the past or years, was drown
ed 10 the Charlton river, 2 1-2 or 3
miles south of Keytesville, last
Sunday afternoon.
Koleph had been working for CIV.
Price, of near Hammer bridge, and
in company with Sterling Price. a
brother OF C. W.,youpg koleph went
to the river to take a bath in the af.
ternoon of last Sunday.
Mr.. Price was sitting in the edge
of the water washing himself, and
Koleph was up the creek a short dis
tance on q sand-bar where the water
was shallow, as he could not swim.
He made q misstep and fell into the
river where it was 10 or II feet
deep.
Mr.. Price heard him splsshing in
the water. and looking up saw him
sink, and at once started to his res
cue. On reaching Koleph he grabbed
him by the top OF the head, but Ko-
leph had strangled and was so badly
frightened that he caught hold OF
Mr.. Prices leg with a death-like grip.
Mr.. Price, not being an expert swim
mer himself, and fearing that he,
too, would be drowned,
kicked loose and left the unfortunate
young man to his terrible
fate.
His dead body was taken from the
river about 2 1-2 hours afterward,
and inferred in Dalton cemetery last
Monday.
The funeral services were conduct
ed in German by Revs. Arnsperger,
Of Salisbury, and Kratte. of near
Dalton.
Young Koleph was about % years
of age, and was said to be a hard
working, exemplary young man.
He was q brother-in-law of Wm.H.
Brandt, a successful farmer OF Bow
ling Green prairie, and a nephew Of
the Schwartz Bros. of Dalton.

The railroad picnic, at Sumner,
last Saturday was not the pleasant

Ed. Agee, of Salisbury, who was

that there was between 1000 and
5000 people present. The muddy
condition OF the roads and the picnic
grounds made the surroundings par
ticularly unpleasant for the ladies.
and many Of them had the appear
