But she doesn't get all right" She

she realizes that distressing female

Her doctor has made mistake.
She has lost faith in him; hope van

Her doctor, if he knew, should have
told her and cured her, but he did not,
and she was allowed to suffer. By
chance she came across one of Mrs.
Pinkham's books, and in it she found
her very symptoms described and an
explanation of what they meant. Then
she wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice, feeling that she was
telling her troubles to a woman.
Speedy relief followed, and vigorous
health returned.

A NEW YEAR.

We are just beginning new year,
and while we glance back over the
past year, we wonder what the coming
twelve months will bring forth. One
year often makes great changes i'm the
life of one, and turns the pivot of his
whole career. One year often, and the
one just past has, brought sorrow to
the homes of many. The year which
is ahead will doubtless record events of
the same character.
Sometimes we hear persons say that
they wish they could foretell the
events which are ahead. That we
could foresee the sorrows which are to
come and the fortunes, if any, which
may be in store. But after all this
would not be as good as it is to be in
utter ignorance of what the future
may bring forth. If we could foresee
that sorrow or death was to take place
at a stated period, we would not and
could not be happy. Tears would fill
the eye and the heart would be rent
with agony in long anticipation of
death or the loss of a loved one. Van
ity would swell the head and pride
would pervert the person who could
see ahead the bestowal of good fortune.
1t is better, we repeat, that we be in
utter ignorance of what the future will
bring forth.
But during the coming year we all
have certain duties to perform as we
have had in the years that have passed.
1t is only wise to suggest that in the
performance of those duties we try to
do better than we have been doing.
Even assuming that we have per-
formed them well, perte ction has not
been so nearly approached in this
world but what we might perform
them better.
There are some people who certainly
have plenty of room for improvement.
Indeed there are some people who for
the good of themselves and the COM
munity sadly need to try and do bet
ter.
There are many lines in which all
of us may find room for improvement.
If during the coming year we can make
ourselves better by learning our mis-
takes and avoiding them, we certainly
can look back when we have arrived
at period several years hence and
point to the year 1896 as a beneficial
one for US. We can reflect upon how
we took upon ourselves to mend our
ways. There will be an element of
pleasure in it. Our lives will be the
sweeter for it. Our consciences will be
clearer for having done it. We will be
happy to think that we had the man.
hood and womanhood to do it.

A SUDDEN CALL.
Engineer William Gibson is suddenly Killed.

Death came in an awful and unex-
pected manner to William Gibson, a
well-known B. c. r. & n. engineer,
shortly after II o'clock Saturday
night. Mr.. Gibson had just pulled in
on passenger train number 10, which
is the Chicago section of the Minneap-
oils express. He had stepped out of
the cab and was giving attention to
his engine. He had held his torch
under the engine and evidently find
ing something which he wished to
examine more closely had reached his
arm through one of the drive wheels
which brought his head almost or
quite against the outer edge of the
wheel. Just at this moment came
against the rear of the train moving
the cars and engine train which
moved it about two feet. Mr.. Gibson
was caught in such a manner as to
draw his head into the opening i'm the
wheel. The result was the unfor-
tunate mans arm and neck were
broken. Mr.. Gibson did not speak or
make any outcry, his death being in
stantaneOus.
Mr.. Gibson has been connected with
the b. c. r. & n. road continuously
for nearly 20 years, and for II years
has been an engineer. He was COM
petent, faithful man and was held in
high esteem by his associates and SUI
periors. 1t certainly seems like cruel
fate that preserves man through the
many dangers incident to an active
engineer only to meet death when
caring for his engine in the depot
yards at the end of his run. Mr.. Glib
son was forty years old and leaves a
wife who is the object of much sympa-
thy in her terrible bereavement.-Ced
ar Rapids Gazette, Jan'y6.
Mr.. Gibson was for time engineer
on this branch of the b. c. K. Il n.
Ry. and was pulling the train that
fireman Frank Cronin jumped from
and was killed at Trout Run last sum-
mer.
The relatives of the deceased have
the sympathies of his many friends in
Decorah, where he was well known.

Northern IOwa's University City.

1t was the pleasure of the writer last
week to visit at the beautiful little
city of Fayette, where three years of
his life were spent in attendance at the
Upper Iowa University. 1t is a city
situated very much as our own. Nest
led in a lovely valley, it is surrounded
by hillsides, slopes and wales, abound
ing in natural attractions and scenic
beauty 1t has about 1000 inhabitants,
all of whom are Of the sterner and
more refined class of American citi-
zens, no degrading foreign element
being prevalent. Many of them are
wealthy and retired farmers, who
have moved there in search of a pure,
homelike place, free from the many
cursed vices so prevalent nowadays,
where they can spend the remainder of
their days in q quiet, happy home,
and at the same time give their child
rem as good an education as can be af-
forded i'm the west. These have erect
ed elegant residences and take pride in
keeping up beautiful streets and lawns,
for which the city is famous.
The business men of the place are
composed almost entirely of young,
enterprising competitors, who are
constantly striving to enhance their
city's interests, and besides the home
trade, enjoy first-class business from
the surrounding country.
The Upper Iowa University located
here, is the pride of all northern Iowa,
and an institution destined to become
a much greater factor in the enlighten-
ment and education of the citizens of
our great commonwealth. It's cur
riculum is not eXcelled in the state,
and it stands among the first in the
number of students and all other par
ticulars. 1t has an annual attendance
of over 500 students, a large and COM
plete faculty, and an endowment OF
$4,000. Six excellent literary societies
with elegantly furnished halls give
unequalled facilities for developement
in oratory and debate. Always in the
front i'm state contests, both oratorical
and athletic, it has attained reputa-
tionand eminence surpassedin very few
cases. 1t has six capacious buildings,
and already need is felt of more COM
modious quarters to accommodate it's
steadily increasing attendance. Fay
cite county and the state of Iowa may
justly be proud of such an institution,
which is constantly uplifting and en-
nobling our country and it's citizens.
A superior electric light plant affords
abundant lighting for streets and
buildings, and taken all in all, Fayette
is one of the most enterprising, bust
ling little cities we have visited in
some time.
The people of this place have an en-
viable reputation for entertaining visi-
tors, sA y one is always made to feel
just like the town belonged to him,
and somehow feels impressed with the
idea that all it's citizens have laid by
the everyday duties of life to make
his visit happy one.

They have leased their lands to white

will erect village and live off the
