"HEAvENSTON" NOT LIKED
Miss wiilard's Suggestion of a Change In
the Name of Evanston.

Miss wiiiard's Suggestion of Change In
the Name of Evanston.
When the news was received recent
" at Evanston, Ills, from Buffalo that
Miss Frances E. Willard had suggested
that the name of her home town be
changed to Heavenston, there were
protestations from all sides. Modesty,
if nothing else, prevents the assumption
of celestial title for the pretty univer-
sity town. Miss Wizards friends do
not believe she seriously thought the
name should be changed, but that 1T
was intended for delicate compliment
to the town which has a curfew law
and where liquor can only be had at
blind pigs.
Ii is said that the title was first ap-
plied to Evanston by an Englishman
The story is that, having heard OF Miss
Willard and REST cottage, he plan
ned to visit the town. When he came
to take the train at the Wells street sta
ton, he inquired of the guard;
lis this the train for 'Heavenston!' .
Whereupon the guard promptly re-
piled:
"No. this is the train for Helgin.
The story was told to Miss Willard
and she has ever since cherished the be
lief that the name "Heavenston' was
appropriate.

Of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with

that physicians at Cowden and Pana

and selling lots OF it, he took a bottle
home, and to his surprise she began to
get better from first doee, and half dozen
