For your ProtectiOn.-C Catarrh 'Cures' er Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of POtassa, or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Cstarrh is a local, not a blood disease. caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, e.Ts and threat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, a roaring sound ii the ears, bad breath, and ofteutimes an offensive dis charge. The remedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is tine acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

the little town of Oatville, FIVE miles
outside of this city, where it was
decorated and made up ready to be
run into this city to night. Three
cars with their cargo of corn were
burned to the ground, as was also
the Missouri Pacific depot.

duced to ashes. They are highly
commended for their prompt and
voluntary action.
A small cyclone accompanied the
lightning storm, and it is singular
fact. which has aroused superstitlous
fears of the local Mckinley boomers
that every one OF the eighty life

q confession of some horrible crime
had been made by Mr.. J. NJ. Reese,
an old citizen, then thought to be on
his deathbed. Since then Mr. Reese
has taken a change for the better.
His son, Mr.. Zan Reese, to clear up
the unpleasant gossip of the town,
has told the story from which the
rumors grew, a story of tragedy
which darkened his fathers life. The
story in his own language is this:
"My father came to this country
from Vermillion county, Ill, in 1867,
accompanied by his wife, sister and
eight children, five of whom were
sons.
Shortly after his arrival my faith
er, with his two eldest sons, Mr.
Nathan and Mr.. Westfall, engaged
in deer hunt. One afternoon about
o'clock he discovered what he sup.
posed to be deer or some other
wild animal moving in the bushes on
the opposite side of the creek. Rails
ing his rifle he took hasty aim and

where the stricken object fell he dis.
covered that he had shot his own
son.
