Homes for Laborers

Cherryvale, Nov. 23.-While forty
acres on the west of Cherryvale, has
been purchased and surveyed for the
purpose of building houses to accommo-

in the northwest corner of his farm,
which lies directly south of town, into
town lots. This means that houses with
be erected out there for the acconmoda-
ton Of those who work at the brick fac
tories. There is nothing to hinder
Cherryvale from booming in the spring,
as the circumstances are such that it
can no longer remain idle and cooped up
in its present narrow limits.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 5Z5 w. Pearl St, IndianaPo-
lis, Ind, was at DEATHS door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle Of Brazilian Balm Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

MAN DIES OF LUMPY JAW.
Had Been an Inspector of Cattle for
Eight Years.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-George Grafton,
who died Sunday in this city, succuTnbed
in all probability to the cattle disease
known as lumpy jaw. Grafton was a
government inspector of cattle and
meats at the stock yards, and during
eight years of service had prevented the
slaughter for food of hundreds of aff1ict-
ed animals. For four months Inspector
Grafton suffered and the symptoms
were those of the cattle disease. OF the
two doctors who chiefly attended him,
DR.. E M Hill thinks that the disease
might have been a malignant growth,
while DR.. J. Nevins inclines to the
lumpy jaw theory. They agree that the
growth may have been complicated
with the animal ailment.
