A School Girls Eattle.
From The Mail, Milford. Ind.


Miss Emma Rybolt, 4 prepossessing school
girl OF Milford, Ind, is OF more than usual
Intelligence, and is ambitious to rise in the
literary world.
''In the fall of 1896" said Mrs. Rybolt,
Emma was taken i'll. She was close
student and her work began to tell on her.
she grew weak, pale and nervous, and COM
plulned of pains in her back, chest and
li,abs. A few weeks passed and she grew
worse. The doctor said she was victim OF
nervous prostration, and should have been
taken from school weeks earlier. She gradu-
ally grew worse, her nerves were 50 tense
that the least noise irritated her and she
had n fever and continual twtchinS in
her muscles. The symptoms were much
like ST. Iitus' dance.

be led by a Methodist preacher as their pas
tor, and. that since 1t appears their COM
plant is well founded. II is recommended
that these brethren and sisters may have
the favorable consideration of the churches

Baptist Church rescind it's action in calling
Methodist pastor, as il is contrary TO

My third informant wears the emperor's S
uniform, is of a high rank and of the priv
ileged encourage of the inner hof or court
circle. He said: Il do not think there are
ten men in Germany to whom the kaiser
has expressed a personal or political re-
mark on This war between Spain and the
republic. All that you read and all that
you hear on this subject, must be believed
only after very great deal of deduction
has been made for you can rest positive
that the emperor has not made a single
utterance where it could possibly find its
way into publicity. This, however is GER
tain and sure, his majesty is very fond of
Americans, he shows 1t on every occasion
and he has never made any attempt to con-
ceal 1t. | know that at Kiel he made the
most minute and technical examination of
your warshfps. that he was enthusiastic
in their praise and prodigal in his praises
of your marine officers and sailors. 1t is
well-known fact that your American navy
has no better friend than our kaiser and
that this friendship dates from the visit of
the fleet to kiel. Besides the royal family
l do not think his majesty knows, or cares,
for fifty people in all Spain. 1 am no

WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET.
Continued High Prices-PrOducts Not
Plentiful.

Prices in the local wholesale produce
market today are rule somewhat ad-
vanced, the long, dry spell of weather be-
ing responsible therefor. A very material
shrinkage in butter is noticeable, and prices
have slightly advanced, with every indica-
ton that continuance of the drought will
still further advance prices. The wholesale
prices for cheese have advanced also, al
though retail prices have not yet been
affected. Eggs are somewhat weaker, with
prices slightly lower. Poultry is a little
steadier, but prices remain unchanged. The
supply of vegetables is much affected by
the hot, dry weather. and prices remain
rather high Apples are scarce. and fruits
are not plentiful, the berry season being
