EsTRANGED BROTHER !,

Patrick luncheon, the wealsblesi
man in the northern part of Indians
died at Laporte on Monday, refusing
with his last breath to make peace
with bis brother, Dennis, with whom
he had not exchanged word for 81
years, although the men occupied the
same house.
Patrick was seventy years old when
he died, but it is safe to say he would
have lived to much greater age had
he not been pursued by the fear OF dy
ing in the poor house. This feal
haunted him continually, although he
was The largest land owner IN the en-
tire State and his estate is valued at
more than 81 100000.
This estate will go to his brother.
Dennis, who is himself wealthy ard
saws he does not care to inherit the es'
tate. Their is no other heir, however,
all the members of the family being
dead, and Dennis will take over h's
brothers. property. Patrick was one
of the founders of the town of La
crosse, and owns the greater part OF
the property there. No one knows
how the quarrel between the broit-
ers originated, but the two were
hard headed and obstinate and would
not acknowledge wrongdoipg. Some
saw it was a love matter, both being en-
amored of the same girl, but this can
hardly be true, as both men remained
bachelors.
The brothers dined together every
day, but their rooms were far apart in
the house, which is an old fashioned
structure, and no word passed between
them. When one fell i'll, however, the
other was full of solicitude regarding
his health, and would hasten to bring
a physician. Sometimes, too, they had
business dealings with one another, but
always through third party.
Both men were were highly regard
ed in the community, although they
never sought prominence in any Way
Both were stanch democrats and never
cast anything but a straight democratic
ballot.
Patrick vas the elder by few years.
The two men arrived in this country
more than forty years ago, and alter
remaining in the east Tor while, went
to Indiana and engaged.i in farming They
worked in the fields for time, saved
their money and gradually acquired
land, which they rented. After the
quarrel they divided the property
equally, but Patrick being the better
business man, was much weather
than his brother at the time OF his dea!h h.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 5, 1897.
a FTER MUCH EXPERIMENTING
~ with the aid OF expert advice We have
At considerable expense produced and put
upon the market a health biscuit. combining
peptoniz d beef with other pure Ingredients
making most nourishing and paatable bis
chit for general use and especially suitable for
person I'll scdentary habits or such as are snf.
feridg with impaired digestion. We have
named III biscuit
rEPTONE BEEF AND BREAD BISCUIT
which is stamped upon every cracker Our
biscuit is patented. and, in addition, we have
applied for label registration, of which We
now give notice.
These crackers are very carefully put up in
attractive one pound cartons, odorless psrch.
ment paper being used on the inside, and a
wrapper lunder seal) covering the outside of
the carton, thus protecting the goods from
all contamination, keeping them pure and
clean until they shall reach the hands of the
consumer.
Each crscker contains 10 per cent in ac-
tual weight of the beef meal of "The yir.
ginia Beef Extract and Beef Meal Company"
OF Alexandria, Va, w1ich is the equivalent
of about Is ounces of fresh lean beef to cyery
pound OF flour. The beef thus highly con.
contracted being in the form of peptone is
readily assimated and is very nourishipg.
II you are sufficiently interested to put
your name and address on postal card and
drop it into a mail box, we will be glad to
furnish you, free of expense, sample OF the
biscuit, so that you may judge it for yourself.
or you may find them on sale at the stores
If your grocer or dealer does no carry these
goods in stock, and you will advise us we
will see that you are supplied.
Yours very truly
The GEORGE E. HILL co.

The Beef Extract Company who were un.
fortunate enough TO loose their plant in the
late disastrous fire, have slready arranged to
keep US supplied with the peptonized beef I'M
til they shall rebuild.
