MARQUETTE, Mich, May 12--The village
of l. 'Anse, the county seat of Baraga county

CAIRO. Egypt, May 12-The sanitary au-

the increase in cholera, after the unsuccess-
full efforts made last winter to stamp out tho

The mysteriously missing document
was found i'll the possession of DR..
Cilley 1t was drawn two days before
Mr.. Stetson's death. BY this will the
entire property will go to the surviv-

heirs of Kate Stokes Stctson, as she
had no children bv her late husband.
The document dl,iuherits Mr.. Stet-

claims to be the widow of the manager

Stetson put up with it uncomplaininS-
ly. just after he died she told some
intimate friends that when her health
was restored and she was rid of busi-

and enjoy her money. She had
worked very hard over the decorations
and furnishings of the Savoy, com
batting her husbands poor judgment
and bad taste in these matters, and
generally having her own way IN the
end.
The will of the late John Stctson

together with the nerves During the waking hours the nervous system works necessarily. Poor sleep means poor nervous condition, and prolonged insom- mia leads in every case to prostration, and too often to dread insanity The mis- chief that results from weakened nerves is much greater and more destructive than most folks even dream of.
 The all-important thing for nervous, rundown persons, and for those who are losing sleep is that Paines celery com pound builds up the whole physical sys- tenn, and by improving the digestion and regulating the nerves it insures sound refreshing sleep.
 In winter most women and many men lead hot-house lives. A Tagging appe- tite, a disposition to pick at this dish and that. rather than to eat a square meal, is among the early indications of failing health. Then comes the delay in falling asleep and the fretful, uneasy feeling the next day.
 Deliverance from such a miserable con dition by the use of Paine's celery com nound has caused men and women from every section of the United States to

 Pitchers CastorIa.
MT. Wade to MT. Porter.
Birmingham, March 1:

MATCH Hon. M. A. Porter
 Dear Sir: I understand from the press report this morning that you asserted in your speech last night at Pratt City that law requiring corporations to pay their laborers every two weeks would be unconstitutional. I have the following proposition to make to you You select a member of the bar, and I select one, these two to select third, and at some stated time and place you and I appear before them and argue the following questions:
 1. Is a law requiring corporations to pay their laborers every week or two weeks unconstitutional?
 2. Is law making it misdemeanor for a corporation to issue any check, pa- per or other token of indebtedness for labor performed, except the same be ne- gotiable paper (good in the hands of the owner), constitutional?
 B. Is a law forbidding corporations from operating a store for supplying it's employees with groceries or clothing, etc, constitutional?
 If any two of the above propositions are decided to be unconstitutional promise to withdraw from the race for representative. Respectfully.

write sincere, hearty words of praise and thankfulness for this grand invigorator People enjoying perfect health some times wonder at this gratitude; but Who- ever has suffered from prostration of the nerves of which insomnia is one of the symptoms, will understand how hard 1t is to oVerstate the torment of this con- diton. And whoever has been made com pletely well by Paine's celery compound feels that no words can oVerstate the joy and gra altitude such persons feel.
 This is the state of mind of thousands of nervous, sickly, broken-down persons who have used Paines celery compound and been made well.
 Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result in the case of her grandchild One of the most conspicuous instances of the remarkable power of Paine's celery com pound over debility Is shown in the re- lief it has afforded children. Of course the dose is adapted to the age of the lit tie patient. The compound purfies the blood and corrects any tendency to con- stipation. Pale, puny children are made vigorous, rosy and healthy by this in comparable remedy.

For the unfcrtunates who lie awake, staring at the ceiling and counting the strokes of the clock, every sleepless' nj ght is an eternity.
 Mrs. J. A. Sample of 155S Broadway, New York city, was afflicted with insom- mia until her nerves were on the verge of prostration. She thinks her condition was due to indigestion. Here is what Mrs. Sample says:
 'I have used Paine's celery compound with marked and decided benefit. It is especially useful in insomnia, arising from indigestion and poorly nourished nerves.
 "I should add that my granddaug hter, Vera Hafieigh, was so thin and puny at fAe age of 10 as to cause us the great est anxiety. We had no difficulty in in ducing her to take Paine's celery com pound. Today the roses bloom in her cheeks,-a and I never saw a healthier, stronger child than Paines celery com pound has made her"
