rs NOT IMPROVING.
Henry Weismann Is Now Believed to Have
softening of the Brain.

Henry Weismann, the attorney who
disappeared and was found in Racine
apparently deranged, is at the home of
his brother in Brighton. He is not
improved in the least and no one is
permitted to see him. Thursday his
brothers came to Kenosha to get a
permit from the judge to open his safe.
When the attorney disappeared he had
in his hands the settlement of many
estates, valued at thousands Of dollars
and papers in other cases of more or
less legal complications. There is more
or less anxiety among the people in
terested in these cases, as they have no
idea in what shape they are left, and
as the attorney is no doubt suffering
from softening of the brain and will
never fully recover, want an inyestiga-
ton. Naturally, when man disap-
pears Of the prominence of Mr.. Weis-
mann, stories of every character are
put in circulation and creates doubt
in the minds of the public. One story
is that Mr.. Weismann was a heavy
speculator on the Chicago Board of
Trade. No doubt an examination of
the contents Of the safe will settle oil
talk in circulation.

A Scotch journal says that a certain
well known painter went to a seaside vii
lage to paint a picture and put up at a
small public house. One day while in his
room he heard a connection, and on run
ming down stairs found that the chimney
was on fire. Two or three men were try
ing to put out the flames by sweeping the
SCOT down with brooms, but the blaze was
too high to be reached i'm this manner.
Seeing their want of success, the painter
caught up a chick mat, ran with it to the
roof, and, climbing up the stack Of Chin
neys, placed 1t on the top of the one that
was on fire. His idea was, of course, to
obstruct the draft. 1t happened that a
stiff breeze was blowing, and, as the mat
was in danger of being blown off, the art
list sat on it to hold it down. He was just
comfortably seated when he found himself
lifted bodily and landed upon the tiles of
the roof. What had happened? That was
more han he could imagine till he went
down stairs No one knew that he had
gone aloft, and when the landlord saw
that sweeping down the SCOT was inetfec-
tual he tried the old fashioned remedy Of
lighting a charge of g%unpowder. This it
was that removed not only the SCOT, but
the mat and the painter.

MISSING
The Great Mystery Which Surrounds Their
Disappearance and what Becomes
OF Them.

Scarcely a day passes that we do not read
in the newspapers of some man or woman
who is reported missing and in the majority
Of cases these people forsake happy homes
without any earthly reason for doing so and
their fate often becomes a mystery"
THE cause Of these disappearance has
excited widespread discussion Of late, and
some Of our best novelists have founded
thrilling romances on this strange subject.
But no one has yet been able to find an
answer to the question, What becomes Of
these missing people2'
Perhaps the best explanation of the mys-
terry may be found i'm the words Of q New
York physician who is % keen observer. Ac-
cordiug to his theory, these people are suc-
ferers from various disastrous mnladies from
which they gain no relief. Their surround
ings eventually become unhcamblc to them.
In their diseased im~agiuatious they fancy
everybody is an enemy although surrounded
by friends. Driven to despair, they at last
fOrsake their homes and become wanderers
on the face of the earth or else-which is
very probable-cOmmit suicide"
ANY person who is not in perfect health is
liable to meet with this terrible fate. Even
those who fancy themselves strong, well and
mentally sound may become unhappy,
morose and despairiug. The seriousness of
these facts should cause every man and
woman to stop, consider and see if he or she
Is really well. There are so many dreadful
diseases that come upon the system unaware,
that show no symptoms but ruin the life even
before we know It,. Tn worst of all troubles
Of this kind arises from uric acid poison.
which, being in the blood, not only causes
rheumatism, neuralgia and govt, but often
affects the mind or the vital organs. Now,
the cause of uric acid in the system or in the
blood is because the kidneys are either too
weak or too diseased to throw it from the
system. When the uric acid is not dis
charged it remains in the blood, poisons the
body and often the mind and causes disease
and too frequently DEATH
rs il not plain and simple then, that in
order to avoid mOrOseness, pain and often
worse things, it is necessary to get rid of
this uric acid This can only be done by
helping the kidneys. which may have been
weakened, to throw it out and that quickly.
You, reader, who scans these pages may
be in precisely this condition and yet not
realize it, but if you are awakened and
realize the sense of these great truths. you
must know that there is but one great and
reliable discovery of the present day that
can help you in such a case and that is War
