Is Life Worth Living.

II there is al lrdiyidual on earth who is
excusable for thus interrogating himself, 1t
is the unhappy mortal who suffers from
malaria In some one Of its dlabollcal forms.
This is no difficult conundrum, however.
Life is worth living by any man or woman
who enjoys good health, and Is not harrassed
b. reproachful conscience. The malarlal
scourge, heavily laid on, Is terrible one
for the poor sufferer to endure. A series Of
freezlngs, screenings and sweats-the last
leaving one as limp and as strengthless as a
dish rag, are hard indeed, recurring as they
do with fiendish regularity. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters Is the worldwide known
preventive and curative Of this class of
maladies, either in the form Of ague and
fever, bilious. remittent, dumb ague and
sgue cake. Used with persistence they

Kidney and bladder compaipts, nervous

pltiop, and renew falling strength.

You and Your Grandfather.

Are removed from each other by span of
many years He travelled in slow going
stage coach while you take the lightning
express or the electric Car. When he was
sick he was treated by old fashioned me-
th0ds and given old fashioned medicines,
but You demand modern ideas in medicine
as well as in everything else. Hoods Sar-
saparilla Is the medicine of today. 1t is
prepared by modern methods and to its
preparation are brought the skill and
knowledge of modern science. Hoods Sar-
saparila acts promptly upon the blood and
by making pure, rich blood it cures disease
and establishes good health.

NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST TO OUR
READERS.

Important Happenings In the State During
the Past Few Days Reported by Tele-
graph-AIatter Selected for the Benefit of
Our Own People.
Shepherd, Mich, Aug. est now APP
pears that the murder of Elmer r..
Struble, cashier of the Farmers bank,
and president OF the village, who was
shot at 4:So o'clock Saturday morning.
Is not such mystery after all. Fri
day afternoon he held a conversation
over the telephone with j. +. Ryan,
owner Of the bank, and in that con-
versation Ryan ordered him to come to
Mount Pleasant, the county seat, and
bring with him all the books and mon
ey in the bank. This he refused to do
but agreed to go there Saturday morn
ing with all the valuable papers. The
Peoples bank in Mount Pleasant failed
last week, and it was supposed that the
Farmers bank here was affected. 1t is
supposed by the sheriff that this con-
versation over the telephone was heard
by the persons who committed the
crime.
The officers gave out at first that
Struble, after being borne unconscious
from the bank to his home, had died
without making a sign. From con-
versation with the sheriff late Saturday
night it appears that this statement is
not true. Struble died at IL o'clock.
but a few minutes before death he
rallied, and in the presence of a notary
made an ante-mortem statement. in
NIL ioh he ha hn I,
of the robbers, and he gave their names
to the prosecuting attorney and sheriff,
but these officials refuse to divulge this
information. Che startling feature of
the case is, it is reported, that the
crime was committed by several de-
positors who, fearing the bank was
about to fall followed Struble to the
bank, demanded their money, and upon
being refused shot the cashier and
looted the bank.
Struble told them that he forced the
shooting by refusing to give up the
money, and in the fight tore the masks
from their faces and recognized them.
1t is supposed they left him believing
he would be dead before he could give
this information.
Mount Pleasant, Mich, Aug. 24.-The
situation at Shepherd is practically un-
changed and the impression is gaining
ground that the ante-mortem statement
of Cashier Struble cannot be used in
the enforcement of arrests. The sus-
pension Of the Peoples Savings bank
and the subsequent robbery and murder
are being discussed in every phase, but
nothing new has developed. The pro-
prietor of the Farmers bank at Shep-
herd spent yesterday trying to
solve the question Of the amount Of The
liability and getting the pass books of
the depositors. All rumors to the effect
that vigilance committees have been
formed to lynch the murderers in the
event of their capture are erroneous
and the law will be allowed to take its
course.

Seems as If consumption always picks
on. the brightest and best. Fully one-sixth
of all the deaths that occur in the world
are caused by consumption. Many things
were once considered impossible. 1t would
be strange II medical science did not make
some progress. The telegraph and tele-
phone, the photograph, the electric light
all were once impossible, and once 1t was
impossible to cure consumption. That was
before the time of DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Taken according TO
directions, this standard remedy will cure
9S per cent. of all cases of consumption.
