The city was shocked Tuesday evening
by the news that Fred. Dawloy had been
killed that morning in the Aberdeen log
slng company's camp, know as Waldron' S
camp. Mr.. Dawley was the foreman of
the camp, and in the absence of Frank
Mitchell, the hook-tender, he was attend
ing to the duties Of the latter, Mitchell
having gone to his claim. About ten
O'Clock in handling big log on the hill
side it rolled down and against another
in such manner as to form sharp
angle, and the cable wound around an
old stump. The unfortunate man went
between the two big four-foot logs to un-
fasten the hook so as to release the cable.
He reached down, took hold of the hook
and called for slack, when, in less time
than it takes to tell it, the two logs closed
like wise, the slackening cable or some
slight jar causing the upper one to move ;
the peeled logs at this season being very
slippery they often start without apparent
cause. Death was instantaneous, Frank
Miller was standing near and heard him
exclaim "My Godv' as he saw his i'm
pending doom, but by the time he could
take the few steps between, the eyes and
mouth were closed to all appeals.
AS soon as possible the body was re-
leased and Fred. Thompson dispatched to
the city for aid. He made the trip Of
over thirty miles in about seven hours,
stopping at the Forks long enough to send
a wagon back for the body. Rory Nc
Donald and Capt. Darling went back to
the Forks in boat and brought the body
down from there, arriving with it about
two O'Clock, preceding Immediately to
Undertaken Beardsley's establishment,
who after examination pronounced the
neck broken by the jar.
Mr.. Dawley was considered the best
woodsman on the harbor, man OF more
than average force and strength of char
acter, and highly esteemed by all who
knew him. He was 80 years OF age, and
a native OF Canada, which place he left in
boyhood, coming to Aberdeen thirteen
years ago But little is known regarding
his relatives. lie is supposed to have a
sister at OF near Hastings, New York, and
two brothers near Lebanon, Oregon, to all
of whom kilograms were sent. Also one
to his uncle, Samuel Dawley, in Mexico,
New York, who replied to bury him here.
The funeral services were held this after
noon, at l 80 o'clock, in the Congrega
tional church.

Will LYNCH the Fire Bug.

PLEASANT GREEN, Mo-, Jan. 10
This town was almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire last night. The stores
of G. @. Rissler and w. A. Niekson,
both carrying large stocks of general
merchandise, were entirely destroyed.
The loss, including buildings, is esti-
mated to be about 5000; insurance,
about $1,000. The drug store Of Par
IRISH Bros. was also burned; loss, ST.
500. The only remaining business
store in the town is that of w. A.
Huyett s. Cox, general merchants.
Attorney Russell Hartman of Boon
vile will take charge of this stock and
place a guard over it at once to save
his clients from loss in a 49, of any
further attempts to fire the town, as
there is little doubt last nights con-
f~lagration was of incendiary origin.
This town has been visited by at least
five fires in az many years, costing the
merchants a loss of at least $50, 900.
The feeling of the citizens is at white
heat, and should the bug be found, a
iynching bee will follow in close order.
1t is whispered among the most con-
servative citizens that suspicion is
placed on a former business man, who
carried on an unsuccessful business
here.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets iniamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless. the Inflammation can
be taken out and Ithis tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by HALLS
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

BONFIRE OF BIBLES.
Scene On the Public Square in a City
of Peru.

New YORK, Jan. IA special to
the Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
The Mayor of San Miguel seized and
caused to be burned in the public
square of the city all the Bibles and
stock of the local agent of the Ameri-
can Bible Society.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Wm. Blake,
Treasurer of the American Bible So
ciety, in reference to the dispatch
from Lima, Peru, about the burning
OF all the Bibles belonging to the
American Bible Society, says:
sOur Bibles have been burned be-
fore in Peru. Fanaticism is the cause
of it. The natives are opposed to the
distribution of our Protestant Bibles
and every now and then they seize
OIL stock and destroy it. What will
They have destroyed the Bibles be-
fore, they destroy them now, and will
probably destroy them again. But,
Just the same, we shall continue to
send our Bibles there. Rev. F. Pen
zotti is our agent in Peru. Only two
years ago he was imprisoned there TO,
no reason other than that he was dis
tributing our Bibles. He was kept in
Jail for five or six months and was on
ly released then through the interpo-
sition of the State Department in

DR.. r. W. Reed of Macon Sued.

MACON, Mo-, January IA suit
was filed here to-day by j.. 7. Will
liams, of Mexico, Mo-, administrator
of John Reed, deceased, against I.
w. Reed, a prominent dentist of this
city, for something like $4,000 or ST.
0o0,n the petition says. John Reed
was the father of DR.. Reed, and during
his lifetime he resided in Mexico, Au-
drain County. The action is brought
for the benefit of the widow, who is a
stenographer of the defendant. The
charge is that the father, during his
lifetime, gave the son six thousand
dollars in trust to s for him,
and loan to as good advantage as he
could, the interest and principal to &c
to John Reed; that save an annuity OF
$500 or $500 q year that the last two
or three years, John Reed received
nothing; that the amount still held
and which defendant refuses to &C
count for and turn over now reaches
about the sum sued for. DIR. Reed
claims all the money he received from
his father was his share of the pro-
ceeds of some real estate, the balance
of the children receiving an equal
proportion, and that he holds now not
one cent belonging to the estate.

Is the Date Selected by the Democratic
Central Committee For Holding
the City Primary.

The Democratic Central Committee
met at City Hall Thursday night and in
the absence of chairman r. M. White,
DIR. E. s. Cave held the chair by proxy.
AS had been requested, nearly all the
candidates for city offices were pres
emit. The meeting vas called to order
at 1925 by chairman Cave and the first
thing done was the election of two
new members of the committee, one
from the First Ward, to succeed G. L.
Ferris, who has moved to st. Louis,
and one from the Second Ward, to fill
the place made vacant by the resig-
nation of D. A. Murphy, who is a
candidate for Police Judge. Wood
Trimble was elected from the First
Ward and Robert McDonough from
theSecond. In the absence of Secretary
Ricketts,, whose proxy was held by
DR.. Ramsay, A. j. Winseott was elect
ed secretary pro tenn.
The question as to the date of hold
ing the primary was then discussed
Each candidate present made a short
talk and all were in favor of holding an
early primary. On motion, the first
Monday in February, or February 3,
was selected as the date. 1t was also
decided that the primary should be
held, as in former years, at the City
Hall, and that the polls should be
kept open from 7 a. m. to SIP. m.
The question as to whether a MAI
should vote in the ward in which he
slept, or in the ward in which he ate
was discussed, and it was decided that
where a man sleeps is his living place,
therefore a nan will be required tc
vote in the ward where he sleeps.

strength to the tired body. In severe
cases of persistent headaches, dyspep-
STA, neuralgia and sleeplessness, due
to f%eebleness, Paine's celery
compound has a record of rapid and
lasting cures that embraces every

lies in it's active replacing of worn
out parts by new, healthy ones, and
in it's healing and purifying action

body. 1t searches out the weak parts
at once, and sets to work to build them
up. The tired body feels the strength

REV. DIR. NICHOLS TALKS.
He Says His Missionary Work in
China Has Been Successful-Tells
Of the Heathenish Customs
of the Country.

The Mexico correspondent of the st.
Louis Chronicle sends to that paper
the following very interesting item
regarding the experiences of a prom
inent Missouri missionary to China,
and who is well known in the east end
of this county:
Rev. DIR. Dor w. Nichols, after an
absence of eight years, is home from
Marking, China. He vas seer by the
Chronicle correspondent and related
his interesting story:
~ was born in 1862 in Montgomery
county, just east of here. | entered
the ministry of the Methodist Episco-
pal church in 1854, and i'll 1887 was
sent as missionary to Central China,
locating in the city of Nanking. My
wife was Miss Anna Ruth Cubberley,
who was born in St. Louis in 1862.
When 5 years of age she moved with
her parents to Louisiana, Mo-, where
she remained till our marriage, No
vember 10, 1857. The very night of
our wedding we started for China.
On our way back from China to the
United States we visited Egypt, Pal
estine, Syria, Asia-Minor, Greece,
Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France
and England. We will return to
emma apour September /, of this
year"
Rev. DR.. Nichols declares that the
mission cause is a great success in
China, all reports to the contrary,
Notwithstanding.
"Why," said he, thousands of con
verts are being made annually"
Rev. Nichols tells a horrible story
regarding the treatment of girl babies
in China. He says that if two or three
girl babies are born in succession that
family is disgraced, and very often
the infants are smothered to death or
otherwise disposed of.
"My wife and l." continued the
reverend gentleman, shave seen, when
walking over the hills for recreation,
bodies of babies of the feminine sex
that had been thrown out that the
hogs might devour them.
"Now and then there appears at oul
mission q mother with a daughter
The parent pleads that we might
save her child, the father having con.
cluded to sell the girl to a life o.
shame. Human traffic there is very
common. Designating fathers gel
pinched for means to buy opium, etc.
and sell their wives and daughters fol
money for these purposes. 1t costs
$50 a year to rescue and educate one
of these Chinese children. We are
enabled to IA only a few, compare

DIR. Nichols raised about $50 in {
short time in Mexico to assist in car.

1t is an uncommon thing to learn
of persons reaching the age of Mrs.
Emyle Hyde Grinnell, and years of
good health such as hers come only to
those who make 8 of the very best
mean of keeping well.
No one will wonder that the bright
eyed old lady, whose mind to-day is
as alert and clear as ever, should be
anxious for others to try Paine's cell
cry compound.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell was born
in Bennington, VT, July 6, 1896, and
is to-day living with her grand
daughter, the wife of Martin Fowler,
of Colchester, VT, a beautiful town
near Fort Ethan Allen. Her father
was a farmer and hotel keeper, and
she lived upon the farm until her
marriage. Mrs. Grinnell has none OF
the infirmities of old age. She rises
at daylight, works about the house,
and when the weather will permit
walks outdoors. Her eyesight is, SO
good that she threads a needle and
spends many hours crocheting and do
ing fancy work. She keeps abreast
of the times, and is remarkably we'll
informed upon many subjects. She
| declares that she does not feel any
older than she has for years, and il
people half her age enjoyed such good
health as she they would consider
th emselves fortunate. She has seven
children, four boys and three girls,
two of whom are living.
Mrs. Grinnell writes:
COLCHESTER, VI, Oct. II, 1895.
"Paine's celery compound has been
my health ~preserver during the last
few years. Whenever l have an ache
or a pain a few doses of this medicine
gives me relief and strength. Few
women, ever though much younger
than /, enjoy as good health, for my
