The REASON why

Why is it that Compound Oxygen cures so
many cases of disease which physicians have
pronounced incurable? oxygen is admitted TO
be germicide. Ozone is revitaizer. Many
diseases have been. shown to result from the
presence of bacteria or germs. Compound Oxy-
gen is rich In ozone and is therefore, revital-
izer and powerful one as well as anti-septic,
and this accounts for the wonderful success
which 1t has achieved within the past twenty
five years This success is and established fact
substantiated by the willing Testimony of CRATE

DEATH OF GEORGE B. WHEELER.

Died, at his home in this city, Sunday
 evening at 6 :45 o'clock, January F, 1896,
 Ge orge B. Wheeler, aged 68 years, 6
 months and g days. Deceased was born
 in Newtown, Conn, June IS, 1927, where
 he grew to manhood. May %, 1850, he
 was united in marriage to Miss Charlotte Sanford, who survives him. He was s natter by trade and pursued that busi-
 ness in Newtown until 1855 when he came west with his family, two daugh-
 ters having been born to them in their Connecticut home. The family located at Commanche, Ia., where they remain ed two years, then located on 8 farm near Dyersville. In 1862 he shouldered his
 musket in defense of the Union, serving
 until the close of the war in Co. I, Fist Infantry of Iowa. Returning from the army he continued farming for some time, but finally had to engage in other business owing to impaired health. He conducted hotel at Dyersville five years and engaged in the same business at h. dependence for an equal period. In 1882 he came to Howard in company with his son-in-law, Walter Mckee, and built the Wheeler House. In 1886 he went to Florida for his health and lived there un- til 1891, when he returned to Howard, where he lived continuously until the time of his death. At the age of g he united with the Congregational church at Newtown. Last spring he united with the Episcopal church in this city. Two daughters, Hattie and Emily, who mar ried brothers, Walter and George Mckee, the former of Howard, the latter of In- depeL dence, survive to mourn with the mother the loss of an affectionate father. , He died of congestive complications not well understood, but which had given him more or less trouble for years. The funeral was held from the Episcopal church, Rev w. J. Cleveland officiating, attended by the Grand Army and the A. o. U. w., of which societies he was an honorable member.
 George B. Wheeler was one of Gods noblemen. In the language of the pas tor, "he was true man." What great CT eulOgy can be pronounced. A ''true uIdiI IldC NlldI uG "ass HE 4l4C was an object lesson in true manhood. He is gone. We miss him. His place in this community, composed largely of young men, will not be filled. His mem ory is reverenced.-IH Howard Press.l There are some in Newtown whoremem- Der the late George B. Wheeler in his youthful days. He learned the hatter's trade in Sandy Hook of Moses Parsons and afterwards went into business for himself. He married the daughter of Josiah Sanford, Miss Charlotte) sister of Frederick and the late Henry Sanford. Some still remember her as the organist for number of years at Trinity church, Newtown. She has the sympathy of the friends still left of the olden time who would delight to see her once more at her old home in Sandy Hook.

A tired stomach is very much like sprained ankle. If you suffer from any of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stomach is tired. It needs 8 crutch. We must relieve it of all work for 6 time, or until it is restored to its natural strength. To do this successfully, we must use a food which is already di- gested outside of the body, and which will aid the digestion of other foods that may be taken with it. Such 8 product is the Shaker digestive cordial. The Shakers have utilized the digestive principals present in plants for the man. ufaeture of this article, and it's success has been truly phenomenal. You can try it for the nominal sum of 10 cents, as sample bottles are sold by al druggists st that price. Laxol is the best med ioine for children. Doctors recommend it in place of castor oil.

Heavy Rains Seriously Retard the
Small.Grain Harvest in West
ern States.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 4-Owing to ex-
cessive heat and lack of rainfall over the
greater part of the Southern States the
week ending August 8 was less favorable
than the preceding week. The general
condition of cotton is not as good as was
reported in the bulletin of the previous
week, the intense heat having caused
much shedding and premature opening of
bolls.
The general condition of corn in the
principal corn States continues excellent.
In Southern Missouri, however, corn is
suffering for want of rain, and the
droughty conditions of the previous week
in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas have
become more serious. Hot winds, with a
temperature of over 100 degrees, have pre-
vailed In Oklahoma, causing serious in
jury to late corn.
The reports indicate that grain in shock
and stack has been much injured by the
excessive rains of previous weeks. The
spring wheat harvest is well advanced in
the southern portion of the spring W eat
regions, and the early sown is being cut in
the northern portion. North Dakota re-
ports fair yields of early wheat, but much
of the late sown will not be cut In Min

Tobacco continues in good condition,
except in the Carolinas. Some cutting has
been done as far north as Pennsylvania.
Copious, well-distributed rains have
greatly benefited corn and other late crops
in South Dakota. but retarded the small
grain harvest which is nearly completed
in the south, far advanced in the central
and progressing in the northern counties.
Considerable crops have been ruined by
hail in the southern counties.
Nebraska-The showery week has him
dered thrashing and stacking of small
grain and caused some damage 10 grain in
shock and stack. Corn has been growing
rapidly, and early planted is in roasting
ear in southern counties. Corn continues
in unusually fine condition except in a
few southwestern counties, where 1t is be-
low the average in condition.
Kansas-Generally dry week, except fine
rains in central northern counties and in
Ford County. Conditions generally are
favorable to growing crops, maturing of
corn, thrashing and haying, except in Ma
rion and Osborne counties, where late
corn is damaged.
Iowa-Continued wet and cloudy wealth
er, retarding stacking and thrashing.
Many shocks of oats are rotting and
sprouting, with considerable damage to
spring wheat in shocks. Corn generally is
very promising. Potatoes, pastures and

LONDON. Enc, Aug. 4.-News has been
received here of terrible disaster in
North Glamorganshire, Wales.
An explosion from fredamp occurred in
the Bryan Coach colliery this morning.
The debris has closed up the entrance so
effectually that forty miners are impris-
oned. 1t is not definitely known that the
men are dead. Very few people expect,
however. to find them alive. II is said
that the force of the explosion was suffi-
cient to kill them, even if the noxious
gases did not complete the work.
For some days past there have been
rumors that the colliery was not properly
ventilated, but the miners paid no atten-
ton to them. ALI of them went to work
this morning as usual. Not long after
they had gone down into the pit dull,
rumbling noise was heard by some people
on the surface. Small columns of smoke
were seen issuing from the mouth Of the
pit. Instantly the news spread around
that an explosion had occurred. Hun
dreds of people f1ocked to the mouth of
the pit. Among the crowd were the fami-
lies of the imprisoned miners. Most of
the men were married and had large fami-
lies.
Plans were at once discussed about the
best way to reach the entombed men. AT
first no rescuers would venture into the
pit, because it was known about the
noxious gases, and experienced miners
knew it meant certain death to go below
Immediately after the explosion.
AS soon as it was thought advisable a
rescue party descended. They found that
the force of the explosion had badly
wrecked the mine. Tons of debris piled
up In the entrances prevented any ap-
proach to the inner portions of the colllery.
1t is not known how long it will be be-
fore any aid can be given the imprisoned
men. Small hope is entertained of get
ting help to them in time to save their
lives.
Piteous scenes of grief were enacted
among the families of the buried miners.
The women and children cried bitterly
and several of the wives of the men had
to be restrained from throwing themselves
into the pit.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. 4-There
will be no fusion between the Populists
and Democrats in Indiana upon the
electoral ticket. The Populist State Con-
vention, it will be RENE mbered, left this
matter in the hands of committee of
thirteen with power to act. The only
chance it will have to exercise this power,
however, will be in nominating a full
ticket of Populist electors. The Demo-
cratic State Committee, the only body in
that party with any power in the matter,
is not disposed to meet them or concede
to them any share Of the electoral ticket.
''There is no disposition in this commit
tee to fuse" said Chairman Holt of the
Dem ocratic State Committee this evening.
II am opposed to anything of that sort
and so is the majority of the committee.
Furthermore, our electors are already
nominated and there is no way of getting
them off the ticket unless they resign, and
