 w. Al perate when his neigh MNA bors are daily expecting him HSTSM to die, when his physicians EEM7EW have given him up, and when EE Ns his system revolts at the EN simplest sort of nourish- H p ment. Yet this was the con SrrIrrItc6 dition of MT. Charles F.
 Phelps. who is a life long resident of Sterling, Mass. having been born there 5S years ago.
 For the past r years MT. Phelps has been tax collector and constable. and is also sexton and the proprietor of livery stable. He is prominent Odd Fellow, and his acquaintance extends widely into Clinton, Lancaster, Leom- inster, Boylston and Worcester.
 MT. Phelps was dragged down to the door of death by a serious stomach trouble. He was fighting for his life without much hope for his poor pain racked body. He was fighting alone against starvation in the midst of plenty, against constant loss of weight and increasing weakness, against dreadful nausea. against pressure on his chest, against belching of wind, sourness of the stomach and terrible pain.
 He had all but lost the fight, when Puritana saved him, MT Phelps is en- thusiastic. His friends and neighbors marvel at his wonderful recovery, and another link is added to the long chain of evidence in favor of Puritana. His remarkable letter Is as follows:

My system got entirely run down so that could eat scarcely any thing. A small piece of bread would cause severe pains across my chest and in my bowels and would have to go to bed and call doctor
 My condition kept on going from bad to worse, and last summer was given up to die. My weight ran down from TAO pounds to 123. After eating, fre- quently would vomit everything up. I had employed doctors, but still re- tained no permanent results. Last summer my attention was called to Puritana, and as drowning man" grasps at a straw, so commenced the use of Puritana
 The results in my case are marvel ous. Instead of being in my grave, as many predicted would be before this time, am attending to my active bust- ness pursuits, and sit down to three good meals of victuals day, enjoy eating them, and afterwards experi- ence no pains, attacks of indigestion, vomiting. belching of wind, spurness of the stomach, or anything of the kind.

Plant Sugar Beets.

The Retail Merchants Association of
this city has arranged for tine distribu-
ton of sugar beet seed among farmers
living within ten miles of Decorah,
with the view of experimenting upon
the soil of this county. Each person
receiving seed must agree to sow it,
cultivate the ground, and report with
a sample the actual amount of beets
raised to the acre. These beets will be
sent to the state agricultural College
and tested as to their saccharine quail
ity. The association thinks that q
sugar factory might be established here,
and that it would increase the value of
land on neighboring farms. The seed
will be found at Goddard's dry goods
store.

II. A. DAHL BADLY CRUSHED.

Just after we had gone to press last
Tuesday morning our popular brake
man on the G. M. d st. p. Ry., was
the victim of very serious accident in
the company's yards here. The train
had backed from the passenger depot
to the turn table, near which they were
coupling passenger coach and palace
horse car, Mr.. Dahl making the coup
ling. From some cause the bumpers
slipped past each other and in an in
stant he was crushed between the
platforms of the cars. Luckily the
brakes were not set on the coach and it
gave little, or it would have been
much worse. He staggered off the
track and was about to fall when
caught by the conductor and carried
into the baggage car. Drs. Bulls and
Barfoot We're summoned and went to
Calmar with him, finding upon eX-
animation that he was badly crushed
i'm the abdomen, but no bones broken.
Since the accident he has been suffer
ing intense pain, but his many friends
all hope for a speedy recovery.

The new Tufts soda fountain pur-
chased by j. III. Duncan was set up last
week and is indeed thing of beauty.
The fountain proper is of Mexican
onyx, set in squares and diamond cut
sections, from which protrude silver
draft arms and syrup faucets. On each
side are natural oak supports contain
ing small mirrors, and upon the whole
rests the top, which consists of beau,
tifully carved and ornamented oak
frame containing large mirror, which
reflects the light from incandescent
electric lights. a handsome oak coun'
ter and chairs complete the outfit.

A Narrow Escape.

AS u. Gardner, wife and daughter
were driving to town Saturday morn.
ing they came around the dugway
and when on one of the most danger
ious parts of the road, some one threw
large sized stone from the top of the
bluff, which struck in the wagon just
missing the little girl. Had the rock
hit any one of the paIties it would have
caused very serious injury, if not GER
tain death. This practice of throwing
or rolling stones off the bluffs above
dugway should be stopped, or some one
will yet be held responsible for maim-
not killing some person.

Mr.. John Kostka, living in Sumner
township two miles south of Protovin
was found dead in his bed last We'd
nesday morning at five O'Clock. Coro-
ner Gibson was sent for and upon go

On April Goth or 30th Mr.. Kostka went
to PrOtOviu where some trouble between
him and son by his first wife, who
was blacksmith, arose. The son at
tackled his father, bruising him badly
and breaking a rib. Mr.. kostka was
taken home Saturday morning and
suffered until his death, last Wednes-
day. The Coroner's jury found that

Dies as the Result of Injuries Re-

DEATH OF B. b. GREENE.

We had all hoped that the sweeping
tide of sudden deaths had left Winnie
shiek county, but everyone was shocked
last Tuesday afternoon when the news
sped swiftly to every part of the city
that Barney Greene had dropped dead
on the street. He was walking home
from town where he had gone for the
daily paper about 2:30 o'clock, and
when in front of DR.. Toye's residence
suddenly turned as if starting back to
town, and fell to the ground, and he
died before he could be carried to his
home, but few steps away. 1t is not
known whether the death occurred
from apoplexy or heart difficulty; his
father died in a similar manner from
ossification of the heart. For some
hours previous Mr.. Greene suffered
with moving pain between the
stomach and heart, which leads to the
belief that heart trouble was the cause
of his death. Barnabas b. Greene was
born i'm Mantua, Portage county, Ohio,
Aug. 81, 1919, where he lived until the
fall of 1865, when he came to Iowa.
He was an extensive manufacturer of
pottery in Ohio until fire burned his
plant. He was with the army as a
sutler during the Civil War, after the
close of which he came to Iowa and
engaged in the grocery business and he
was again afflicted by fire. He was
once landlord of the st. Cloud hotel,
was groceryman again, and afterwards
was manager of the grocery depart
ment of G.. n. GOddard's store; for the
past few years he has lived retired
life at his home on Court Street. He
has been twice married, three children
being born by his first wife, viz: Glenn.
c., who is buried in the Decorab cenle-
terry; Oscar c., superintendent of tele-
graphs for the Northern Pacific Ry.;
and Mrs. John w. Cotton, of Bell
fountain, Ohio. Mr.. Greene was mar.
ried to Miss Emeline Morss-G Greene in
1854, who remains to mourn his loss
with large number of relatives and
friends. The life of Mr.. Greene has
been one of integrity and uprightness;
he was a respected citizen and his
memory will be honored by all who
knew him,
A private funeral was held from the
late home of Mr.. Greene on Court
street Thursday afternoon, Rev. DR..
NJ Willett officiating, burial being in
the Decorah cemetery.

PatrOnize the New Telephone.

1t has been reported that the Iowa
Union Telephone Company would put
the price of their instruments so low
that the new telephone would not be
used. The new telephone company
who are now constructing their line,
have made rates within the reach of all
who desire to use the instruments, on
the basis olive and let live" All can
understand that the telephone ex.
change which has the greater number
of patrons will be the one most advan.
tageOus for its subscribers. The new
telephone has now one hundred and
fifty $50 phones subscribed for, which
will soon be put in and in use, and we
have every reason to believe this mum.
ber will be greatly increased.
1t is earnestly hoped by those who
have subscribed that all citizens may
stand united and patronize the company
that has offered us good system at a
low cost, with a written contract that
the price will not be raised in the
future Remember the Iowa Union
Telephone refused to lower the rate
when there was no competition, al.
though other cities no larger than De-
cOrah had prices at less than ono-hali
what we were being charged and were
obliged to pay. Under these circum.
stances, we, as citizens, invited this
new company to build their exchange
here at stated price to subscribers OF
ten $40 dollars for residences, and fif
teen (Sl5) dollars for business places fol-
one year, the telephone exchange to be
first-class in all respects.
When we understand that they are
doing as agreed let us stand wholly
united, look to our own interests for the
present and tor the future in this affair
and fulfill our obligations and agree
ments to this new company by giving
them our patronage and support if we
desire telephone.
Again weas your Citizens Committee
ask that all who need telephones act
together and we will soon have one OF
the very best exchanges in the state.
