SAVED MS MASTERS LIFE.
The Deed of Southern Dog Reward
cd by q Monument.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
vicksburg, Miss.-There was shipped
from this place yesterday by one of our
tombstone dealers a handsome little mar
BILE shaft bearing the following inscrip-
ton: ITO Bruno, a good dog, faithful
friend, a wise counselor, this monument
is erected by his grateful and affectionate
master"
Investigation revealed the fact that the
dog Bruno, but recently dead, had be-
longed to Mr.. Alex Phillips a river plant
err on the Louisiana side, and the monu-
ment will be placed over the dogs re-
mains as they lie in a pleasant spot on
the plantation.
A succinct story Of Bruno's life IS told
on the reverse Of the slab, and makes
very interesting reading one of the
many instances here related will prove
the brave dogs title to the need of fame
accorded him by his master, and show
his worthiness Of the appellations friend
and counselor.

OF the boys dropped in at the boarding
house-and, sure enough, there was the
same Mr.. Gray with the brown mustache,
sitting on the plaza.
Seating themselves near him, they tried
to engage him in conversation by making
some commonplace remark, but the man
did not reply,
Again they tried to draw him out, ask
ing him a pointed question as to when he
arrived in town. But still he would not
speak.
The young men were about to use soma
rather discourteous language to the stran-
ger, when suddenly, from something in
his actions, the whole truth flashed upon
them.
The man could not answer them-ror no
vas deaf and dumb!
With a pencil and paper communication
was soon established with Mr.. Gray ana
he was asked about the part ne hau
played in the Griffin case. He eXpresseu,
both in his face and on the paper, great
surprise at the question. He salo ne hdu

Mr.. A. H. Crausby, of 1873 Kerr ST., Mem
phis, Tenn, says that his wife paid no at
tention to small lump which appeared in
her breast, but it soon developed into
cancer of the worst type, and notwith-
standing the treatment of the best physi-
clans, It continued to spread and grow
rapidly, eating two holes in her breast.
The doctors soon pronounced her incurable.
A celebrated New York specialist then
treated her, but she continued to grow
worse and when informed that both her
aunt and grandmother had died from can
Ger, he gave the case up as hopeless.
Some one then recommended S. S. s., and
though little hope remained, she begun it,
and an improvement was noticed. The can
Ger commenced to heal, and when she had
taken seven bottles it disappeared entirely,
and although several years have elapsed
not sign of the disease has ever returned.

off, and only healthy little scar remains
to mark the place where the destroyer had
held full sway.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order.
What To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fullfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. II
corrects inability to hold urine, and
scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad
effects following use OF liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleas-
ant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect Of Swamp Root is soon re-
allied. II stands the highest for it,

VICTORY!

After slumbering for several year.
our one-time rivals, the Hunting
tingburg base ball team, has again
come to the front and played an in.
teresting and exciting game at the
base ball park on last Sunday.
In point Of interest the game fal
excelled any game that has been
played on the home grounds this
season. The crowd was composed
of large number of Huntingburg
people and the rest from Jasper and
the way they rooted reminded all
of games in the past.
From a players view the game
was very rotten, both sides having
numerous errors. On account of a
wet ball these were partly excusable.
The final score was IS in favor of
the Reds.
Schumacher pitched good
game, striking out eleven men,
some OF these strike-outs being at
critical points OF the game.
Owing to the absence of Bohnert,
Miller and Egg the home team was
in a crippled condition.
Whittinghill, for the visiting team,
with experience will some day make
a good amateur twirler.
Schubel's batting average took a
soar again, and his fielding average
to prevent him from following the
first hunted the lowest part Of earth
it could find.
Lampert played the same steady
game at short that is characteristic
of him. Keep it up.
Huther in his umpiring was i'm
partial and gave satisfaction to all.
Here's hoping the same can be said
after all future games.
On next Sunday the teams will
meet at Huntingburg. A special
train will leave Jasper at one o'clock
in the afternoon and will return at
6 O'clock. Round trip 20 cents.
II is expected that quite large
crowd will avail themselves Of this
opportunity TO visit our neighboring
city and see the game. B. b. FAN.
