INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of Dys-
peps:a After Suffering for Twenty-Five

Mrs. Sarah A Sheels, an estimahie
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co.,
Iowa, was for twenty-five years suffer-
er from Dyspepsia. and her complete
restoration to health is so remarkable
that we present the facts in the case for
the benefit Of our readers, many OF whom
have doubtless suffered in the same
manner and VIII, therefore, be interested
in learning how all stomach troubles
may be avoided and cured. Mrs. Skeeis
says: l used only one package OF
StuaTt's Dyspepsia Tablets and receiV-
cd SUCH great and unexpected benefit
that | wish TO express my sincere graft
tude In fact it has been six months
since took the medicine and l have not
had one particle Of distress or difficulty
since. And al this in the face OF the
fact that the best doctors l consulted
told me my case was incurable as had
suffered for twenty-five years. | want
half a dozen packages TO distribute
among my friends here who are very
anxious to try this remedy.
j.. Truly yours,
MRS. SARAH a. SKEELS.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why 1t never disappoints those
wno need it and use It is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it VIII
actually perform. Jt is not cure-all
ana no such claims are made for it. II
is prepared for the sole purpose OF curing
indigestion.
There Is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what IS claimed 70 cure Dys-
pepsia as well as hundred other
troubles. When as a matter OF fact
remedy TO cure Dyspepsia must be pre-
pared especially for that and nothing
else: and among all the remedits, patent
nostrums, bitters, etc, so extensively ad-
vertised you viii find that Stuart's Dys-
papsia Tablets is the only one advertised
as a cure for Dyspepsia and nothing
else. The remedy is prepared by the
Stuart Co. OF Marshall. Mich. and for
sale by all druggists at 30 cents per pack
age, and if you suffer from any forms of
stomach arrangement Or indigestion a
trial will not disappoint you

WISCONSIN KELLY CURE LAW
Declared Invalid by the Supreme Court of
That State.

Madison, Wis, FdJ. 1.-The Kelley
cure law was declared invalid by the SUI
preme court today. The test case came
from Milwaukee in the form of an ap-
peal from the decision of the circuit court
which was favorable to the Kelley in
sti:ute, on a suit against Milwaukee
county for $3.50 for the trea tment of a
patient committed TO the institute by the
county court under the law. The conten-
ton Of the county attorney was that the
law provides liability for the county and
indirectly taxed the citizens, and was
therefore invalid

Was Not Expected.

The Stevens Point Journal tells in the
following account how Grand E.apids
talent surprised the Normal foothallists
"When the second Normal eleven left
here Saturday morning to 90 to Grand
Rapids, neither it's members, nor the
many interested friends who accom-
panied them, had any idea that they
were not to return as conquering heroes
and consequently when the news came
through the phone that the Grand
Rapids High school team had defeated
them by a score of a to 6, it seemed
hardly credible. But it was only too
true.
When the Normal team, accompanied
by its four carriage loads of supporters,
reached this city late that night, they
not only fully confirmed the report al
ready received, but affirmed that Grand
Rapids victory was not by any means
entirely due to the decisions Of the
umpire, but that Grand Rapids showed
herself fully capable of taking care of
herself on the football field"

st. Johns Choir.

The vested choir of st. Johns church,
Centralia, will sing for the first time at
the morning service on Sunday next,
Oct. II. Although they have been but
four months in training, and may still
be considered as having made only a
beginning, still their improvement has
been marked and very satisfactory.
Owing to the growth of the class, and
as the present quarters of the Rev.
Father Brancombe are inadequate as to
space, it is sincerely to be hoped that
the Guild Hall, which is now practically
assured, may soon be built and ready
for occupancy, thereby giving the choir
not only a room for practice, vestry,
etc, but also a place where they may
meet evenings for reading and enter
tainment during the winter.

school could not stop. They used one
play repeatedly, the Princeton revolv
ing wedge as taught them by coacl
Flint, Princeton's old tackle, and with
it pushed slowly down the field unit
the pigskin was planted for points
Papa Henry Gust turned 35 years old
was injured in one of the wedge piles
but continued in the game. Capt. King
kicked goal. Score: Highs, IS; Nor
mails, g.
In l min. Is sec High got another
touch down. Normals had the ball on
their 20-yard line and in fall fumbled
it. Corcoran had it tucked under his
fin in ali instant and cleared away over
the line. Love kicked goal. The end
of the half was a sharp contest, Nor
mails using only the Princeton wedge
and gaining slowly for to 6yards when
time was called. Corcoran made a 25
yard sprint and touch down was
averted only by Munnell's plucky
tackle. Score at finish: High school,
24; Normal, 6.
Team work of Howe High school
boys in this game was excellent. Each
member rendered snappy, strong SER
vice at every chance, and all can justly
claim a full share of credit for the vic
tory. Corcoran was the star ground
gamer, never failing to advance the
ball, but credit for this is partly due
Crawford and Love for their clever in
reference in Corcoran's behalf. Comp
ton, Tlcknor, Bulls, Demitz were con-
spicuous in brilliant defensive work.
Rmnius, Thomas, Wipperman held the
opposing line as steady as clock work
and did much more real hard bucking
that counted than the spectators noticed.
Mccarthy at quarter is all right. He
used his signals with judgment and ran
the team without a slip. We predict
that Howe High school will hold its
own or better, with all other high school
teams in this section of the state during
the season. Halvorsen, new man and
a speedy one, will play at half-back in
some of the coming games. He prom
ises much.
Next Saturday High school goes to
Merrill where it will meet TomahaWk k
High school on the gridiron. Quite a
delegation is expected to accompany
them from this city.

The Mackinnon=Hoskin Reception

The reception at the residence of Mr..
F. MacKinnon on Thursday last, by
Mrs. F. MacKinnon and Mrs. and the
Misses Hoskinson, was a brilliant sue
cess. The weather was perfect and the
attendance of ladies of the twin cities
very large. The spacious residence was
profusely decorated throughout; !;
the stairway and disrobing rooms
with masses of autumn leaves in all
their gorgeous coloring, smilax and
maiden hair fern. Mrs. MacKinnon
was assisted in receiving her guests bv
Mrs. D. J. Arpin, Mrs Biron, Mrs.
Harmon, Mrs. I. E. Philleo, Mrs. Ham
brecht, Mrs. Hougen and Mrs. VIM.
Kellogg. The children of the hostess
Reginald, Ellen and Mildred-also
formed a reception committee. It was
pink reception. The table was
lighted with pink candles with tiny pink
shades and the ices, cakes and confec-
tionery were in pink also. Masses of
pink carnations from Milwaukee
adorned the table.
In the conservatory, off the dining
room, stringed band of musicians
played soft, sweet music during the
afternoon, from to o'clock, and as it
grew dark all the candles were lighted,
which, with the electric lights under
pink shades also, threw a soft pretty
light over the table and guests. Many
Of the guests remained and spent an
informal evening.
The reception was given in honor of
Mrs. Geo. Gibson of st. Paul.

Corcoran Proves 2 Star Ground=Gainer for
Howe High School,

The Grand Rapids High school foot
ball team surprised its most ardent
rooters Saturday afternoon by winning
with a long margin from the second
eleven of Stevens Point Normal school
in magnificent contest on the local
gridiron. Great interest was centered
III this game as the Normals have been
considered the strongest rivals of our
high school boys, and from past records
of these two teams, the outcome was
much in speculation. Grand Rapids
was handicapped by age and size of its
men, inferior advantages of coach and
training, but IN weight the two teams
were evenly matched, while in skill and
active offensive work the High school
proved decidedly superior in finish and
all round plays. 1t was the hardest
fought game ever seen here, called
promptly at 2:30 o'clock, the teams lin

PIERRE DAVlGOT DEAD.
A French Character with an Honor.
able Record,

Very few people in this city knew
anything of Mr.. Davigot's record as a
soldier and citizen, as he had ouly re-
sided in this city for ten years, the last
three he had been an invalid. He
passed away at one o'clock, Monday,
October II, aged so years, 9months and
3 days.
Pierre Davigot was born in Ormoy,
Canton of Jussey, Department of Haute
Saome, France, January s, 1917. He
lived with bis parents until he was Il
years old, when he accepted position
as guide. A guides duty was to lead
large freight teams with ten and twelve
horses along the roadway nights through
the mountains of that country. He
followed this work three years, for
which he received $50 per year, and
then was promoted as driver of one
of these wagons. He served as driver
for five years, when he enlisted in the
French army in 1886. His first service
was in Algeria, fighting against the
Arabs and most of the time against the
forces of the famous Arab chieftain,
Abdel Kader. Here he spent seven
years, after which he went to Sargossa,
Spain, in 1843, where he was married to
a Spanish lady. After marriage he
returned to France and re-enlisted in
the French army for another seven
years. He served three years of the
seven in Africa. After the conquest of
Algeria he was called to France and in
1878 was in active service in Rome
against the famous Garibaldi. 1850
ended his career as soldier, having
served in all fourteen years. At the
close of his army service he returned
to his native village and followed farm
ing for three years. In 1858 he sailed
for America and settled near Buffalo,
New York, where he remained only
one year and proceeded to Manistee,
Michigan. Here he remained only
about one year when he proceeded to
Chicago where he remained only six
months and then settled upon a farm
near Mishicott, Manitowoc county, Wis
consin.
In 1861 he volunteered his services
and wanted to enlist but on account of
his advanced age Joseph Rankin refused
to accept him and he returned home
to his family. In 1871 his wife died.
The same year he was married to Mrs.
Constantine Rausis, who survives him.
In 1887 they moved to Grand Rapids
where they have since resided. He
leaves no children, but has a STEP
daughter, Mrs. Joseph n. Closuit, and
an adopted son, Louis A. Closuit, who
both reside in this city.
Three years ago he was stricken with
paralysis from which he never recov.
cred and continued to fail in health and
mind until he lost them entirely. He
had always enjoyed excellent health
and was man of physical strength. A
modest man with kindly traits of char
acter, devoted to his home and family

Death of Prof. James G. Clark.

Mr.. n. Gerard received word while
in our city Of the death of his old
friend of over thirty years standing,
Prof. James G. Clark, who gave a con-
cert here while Mr.. Gerard was living
in Centralia. The Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, Times has this to say of him:
Prof. Clark was IS years of age, and
was born in Constantia, n. Y. He in
herited from his parents his poetlcal
gifts, and love for humanity, liberty
and justice, and was strong champion
Of the abolition of slavery, contributing
such songs and poems as 'The Children
of the Battlefield" ;" ''Fremont's Battle
Hymn" and MANY others, and during
the war he travelled considerably, Civ
ing concerts, the proceeds of which
were devoted to the soldiers aid socle-
ties and amounted to thousands Of dol
lars.
Rev. R. NJ. Webster of that city, who
formerly resided here, preached his
funeral sermon. The following poem,
written by Mr. Clark. was sent to Mr..
Gerard in one of his last letters:
THE SUNNY SIDE OF SEVENTY.
On the sunny side of seventy
We backward turn today,
To view the track where FURNISHED years
Like milestones mark the way
And some are wet with bitter tears,
And some with raptures glow,
AS OF the evening side oflife
We dream of long ago.
O, the sunny side of seventy,
How far away it seems
When going through the morning mist
OF childhood's early dreams,
Before the western SUN has kissed
The mountains slopes afar
And age appears, cold and dim
And distant as q star.
On the sunny side of seventy,
The day has just begun,
With faces turned to greet the light
Our souls reflect the
AS dews that weep and fall at night,
| In lonely shadows born,
Are changed to jewels pure and bright
Transfgured by the morn.
On the sunny side of seventy,
We've felt the pillows shock,
We've seen the storms of winter beat
| Our barks against the rock.
| But by and by we all shall greet
The ships we priced of yore,
| Safe moored among the blessed isles
The isles of Evermore.
