Death of Orion Clemens.

Orion Clemens, brother of Mark
Twain, died suddenly at his home in
Keokuk. His wife found him seated in
chair at table, his head bowed over
some writing at which he had been
working, life extinct, death having en-
sued but a few minutes before he was
found. Mr.. Clemens came to Keokuk
during 1855 and, with his brother, en-
gagged in the job printing business. He
served as secretary and treasurer of
Nevada territory during Lincoln's first
term. During part of that time he
acted as governor while the executive
of the territory was absent.

HIS DAYS IN JAIL.
Ira Hustled, One of IOya's Noted Citi-
zens, Is Again Confined.


Ira Hustled, notorious violator Of
the prohibition law, was taken to Vim
ton from Cedar Rapids to serve SEN
tence of 300 days in default of the pay
ment of $1,000 fine imposed by Judge
Burnham.
Hustled was a saloon-keeper at Belle
Plaine when the prohibition law went
into effect in 1888. He utterly refused
tc obey the law, and continued to sell
liquor openly, as though law had never
been enacted. He was at once arrested,
and served out long term of imprison-
ment, only to resume his business as
soon as liberated. Since that time he
has been almost continually in Jail. He
is a rival to the famous stormy Jor-
dan" in his audacity, but he lacks the
originality and the cunning which char
acterized that notorious terror to tenn
perance workers.
Hustled is II years of age, and seems
determined TO die in Jail. He has son
and wife and daughter. Their tears
and pleadings have been of no avail.
Hustled is determined to sell liquor, and
he probably has no equal in this or any
other state.

"MY WIFE'S LIFE"
How | was the means
of saving it.

When the lungs are attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which Stays its
thousands annually. 1t Is a happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but 1t did in
the case Of Mr.. X. Morris, Memphis, Tenn,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, and then sug-
gested the simple remedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"Seven years ago, my wife had n severe
attack of lung trouble which the ply
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cialiy at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting OF blood, The
doctors being unable to help her, in.
duced her to try DIR. Ayers Cherry Pectoral
and was surprised at the great relief II
gave. Before using one whole bottle she
was cured, so that now she Is strong and
quite healthy. That this medicine saved
my wife's life have not the least doubt

The question: "Is consumption cura-

mines him that the phenomenal vote he
received last November was the result Of
the slringency of the times. In case the

he change in the times Tbs country
has prospered under high tariffs, says the
World, and may do so again The country
has known Its greatest growth under

peat itself. In that case the World asks
'wha5 force will there be left In the cali
