Ohio, who have been benefited by the use OF

known, especially in educational circles, as
she has been for number of years faithful
and progressive school teacher.
For some time she has been very i'll and the
sutferings and tortures endured by her for
months have been unusually severe.
The tale of her sufferings and the subse.
quent relief and final cure which she derived
from the use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, aroused considerable agitation
among her many friends and others.
A reporter was detailed TO obtain q relia.

he called he found Miss Mckinney at her COM
Portable and cozy home where she cheertully
complied with his request. She said:

rs GOING TO ALASKA.
Capt. Adolph Frietsch Will Take Lake
Schooner to the KlondYke.

Capt. Adolph Frietsch is we'll known
in Kenosha, having been here off and
Oh most of the season. The Schlitz
Globe in which he was to have made a
trip around the globe is lying now in
Racine, the enterprise having proved a
decided failure.
Captain Frietsch is now at Chicago
making arrangements to sail for Alaska.
The schooner George Sturgis has been
purchased and is being fitted out for
the voyage to far away Alaska, under
command of Captain Frietsch. The
George Sturges was originally the
Higgie and Jones. She was built at
Sheboygan in 1872 for Chicago firm
whose name SIZE bore, has keel length
of 173 feet inches, 81 feet l inch
beam, and Ii feet s inches hold at the
shoalest point. Her measurement is
1888 gross, or 417.56 net tons. The
Sturges is still a staunch craft, and if
Capt. Frietsch succeeds in keeping
her off the rocks will no doubt succeed
in reaching far-away Alaska. The
vessel will sail down the great lakes
and the st. Lawrence river to the
Atlantic, and thence south rounding
Cape Horn and back up the Pacific
coast to Yukon. There she will be
left, while the crew starts for the gold
fields, and when the crew cares to re-
turn will serve as a treasure ship to
bring back the nuggets.
The Sturges is now being overhaul
ed and reftted at Chicago with the
expectation of having everything ne
cessary on board for a start by October
l. The time of reaching Alaska is set
as April in the plans, although bad
weather at sea may interfere mater
tally with them. Allowing start to
be made October l this means a voy-
age of six months duration, which will
cover 10000 miles.

An Interesting Statement of Facts Con-

eff l could sell my farm and invest
the money at the same rate have to
pay for money borrowed on mortgage,
| could take things easy" This
thoughtless remark is often heard.
At the average value of interest in the
United States the man who did this
would have an income of $243. But
the mortgage would have to be paid
off out of the proceeds of the sale,
which would leave balance large
enough to yield only $l56 per year.
With this income what vocation could
the farmer go into that would enable
him to support his family as well as he
is able to do on the farm? Allow for
losses upon investments, uncertainty
of employment and loss of independ-
ence, the old farm shows up pretty well
compared with other ways of making a
living.
