When he wrote that he was COM
ing back there was a joy in the
Eddy home, but it was changed in
the twinkling of an eye to the deep.
est sorrow. The horrible story that
the young man starved to death
added to the intensity of his fam
ily's grief and has aroused immeas-
urable indignation throughout the
city and county.
The boy was very popular among
his acquaintance and the shock of
his death with the realization that
even his body cannot be brought
back, is heavy blow to all. There
is a possibility that his sisters will
recover their mental balance in
time, but the mother is in such a
state that there is no hope for her.

Marietta, O., Aug. 29.-In The
little home at Yankeeburg, a few
miles east of Marietta, are three be-
reaved women with their reason
detnroned. At Reno, not far away,
is another who mourns the man
who was soon to take her for better
or worse.
The death of only one of Uncle
Sans soldier boys has wrought this
havoc, and his body now sleeps in
its last resting place in the bed
of the sea, between Santiago and
Montauk Point. His name was
Okey P. Eddy, and the three un-
fortunates, whom his death has so
fearfully deranged, are his mother
and two sisters, Bertha and Vesta.
The fourth is his finance, Miss
Linda Cook.
SAD TIDINGs CAUSED INSANITY.
When the sad news of young
Eddy's death on the Mohawk and
his burial at sea reached the Eddy
cottage at Yankeeburg yesterday,
it caused heartrending scene, and
the men who bore the sad tidings
collapsed through sympathy with
the grief stricken women.
The family consists of the boys
mother, Hannah Eddy. widow Of
the late Simon Eddy, and his four
sisters. Okey was the only son
and brother. AS the intelligence OF
his untimely end broke upon their
minds, the mother and the two Sis
tiers named Immediately lapsed into
a hysterical state, which grew rap
idly worse until last evening when
all three had reached condition OF
violent insanity.
Mrs. Eddy is in a most pitiable
condition, and time and again at.
tempted to take her own life. She
was saved only by the interference
of neighbors, who have not left her
for a minur.. since she first received
the news. It was found necessary
to tie her j ,nds in order to prevent
her doing bodily harm to herself,
and she remained in that condition
all night. She is S. years OF age,
and mos. estimable woman, as are
all her dan shters, whose condition
is little les serious.
The en'i-e community is express
IDLY shocked " = the pitilul situa-
ton, and sympathy for the unfor-
tunate is unbouAded.
Young Okey was only III years
of ag,.. md was the idol of his home.
About two weeks before the break
ing out Of the war be went to East
Liverpool to work.
HIS COUNTRY CALLED HIM.
At that time he was possessed OF
the martial spirit and his mother
begged of him to put away the idea
of enlistlng. Her pleadings were
in vain, however, as he joined
company E, of the Eighth Ohio and
marched away to his doom.
The first news o. his enlistment
reached his mother in letter which
he wrote her from Santiago, saying
he was well.

When wear begins to exceed re-
pair in your body you are going to
fall sick. The signes of it are: loss
of flesh, paleness, weakness, ner-
vousness. etc. The repair needed
is food. You think you eat enough

more tissue, energy, nerve'force,
than your food makes for you.

digest enough. And this is so SER

gest what you eat, take few doses

those people who do not understand
what the pasteurizing process is, it may
be said thatit is not chemical one and no
foreign substance OF any kind is added to
the milk. The process is one OF cleansing
mostly through the agency OF heat and
cold excessively applied, in an air-tight
machine, killing all germs OF disease with
which the milk may have been impreg-
mated, as well as germs of fermentation,
and consequently renders it not only per-
fectly wholesome and innocuous to the
human system. but also fitting it for
transportation in perfect sweetness of
condition to very great distances. lately

the result OF the rise in the price OF the

day and number OF the mines reached
the highest point in their history within
the past few days. Every indication
points to an awakening OF the copper
mining industry next summer such has
never been known here before.
