The family removed to Niles in the

polls, and H. w. Cleland, of Mankato

Her kindness of heart and amiable
disposition won for her the love ano
esteem of every member of the com
munity in which she lived, but it was
in her own home and with her own
family where her loveliness was most
conspicuous, and the devotion which
she ever manifested toward her own
family won from them love which
almost approached to idolatry.
In 1912 she united with the PreSby
teTian church and remained a consis
tent member until she passed to hel
rest in the arms of the Saviour she
loyedtO honor before the world.

Winnebago county, Wis, in which
Oshkosh is situated, haspaid out $500
for the entertainment of 4,3OO tramps
since Nov. | last. Brown county,
which started a stone quarry for the
Encouragement of the tramp indus
try, had only 10 tramps in the same
space of time and they begged the
county's pardon when they grasped
the situation. Oshkosh is preparing
to start quarry. 1t is said to be a
sovereign remedy for that tired feel

Minneapolis Journal. Tramps are
very numerous in Mankato these
spring days, according to reports of
the police, and the Wisconsin plan
would have as good an effect here as
there.

The attorneys for Alfred Q. Rob
erts, the Jackson photographer who
was convicted and sentenced for US
ing the mails to give information
where obscene pictures could be OBJ
tanned, have decided to appeal the
case to the United States Supreme

fore next October, and unless Rob
erts can furnish bail he will have 10
remain in the penitentiary.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that science
has been able to cure in all it's stages
and that is catarrh. Halls .Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces.of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
tion and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in it's curative powers, that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

An exchange says: ga farmer near
CrookStCn had some oats burned by
sparks from a locomotive and sued
the company for damages, whereupon
the company defended on the ground
that it would have cost the farmer so
much to thrash the grain, so much to
haul it to the depot, and so much to
haul it to the end of the road, and
that the aggregate expenses were
more than the oats were worth in the
terminal market, and therefore the
farmer was in debt to the railroad
company for it's services in burning
the grain"
