DIR FRANKLIN MILES,
Resolutions by a Church Confer
ence, Commencing the
Eminent Chicego
Physician.
Who Gives a Csurse of Treatment Free to
Every One Afflicted With Heart and
Nervous Troubles.

Every One Afflicted With Heart and
Nervous Troubles.
The following highly complimentary
resolutions endorsing the skill of DR..
Miles are published for the benefit of
persons afflicted with nervous, heart
or other similar chronic diseases.
Those who have vainly tried their
home physicians should by all means
send for his free course of treatment
while they have the opportunity.
Resolved, first, that we the ofIieial mem-
bers Of the st. Joseph Annual Conference Of
the United Brethren, would return to DR..
benefit resulting from his sktllful treatment In
thus restoring to us our pastor who is again
nas or q as aye labor in the church. and In
Heavenly Father to long spare the life and
health Of the doctor, that he may be ermitted
to be a blessing to thousands of his fellowmen,
as skillfui practitioner.
A thousand other highly fiattering testimon-
| ials as to DR.. Miles moral character and unus-
ual skill, from Bishops, Physicians, Clergymen,
years an extensive corps OF trained assistants
| have aided him in his investigations, every
sentea amos Els @ % pates
But what speaks louder than any
| testimonials is the fact that the Doc
tors very unusual success in treating
nervous and heart troubles; enables
him to send SO so course of medi-
cine, consisting of large bottle, tab
| lets, pills, etc, FREE OF CHARGE, to
! any afflicted person. This very few
physicians will do.
Do not fail to write him for an ex-
animation blank and free treatment
before it is too late. Address Doctor
Miles at SO State st., Chicago, Ill. He
keeps all correspondence strictly con-
fidential. He uses plain envelopes and
plain wrappers for packages contain-
ing his medicine.

Cow-Lateral Security.

A certain Mr.. Miller, of Decatur, H.,
according to local paper, has high
priced COW. AT least that's the opinion
of the money lenders of the city who
have invested $170 in her, and the re-
turns are not all in yet. That they
are not proud of their investment has
been discovered from the fact that they
all kept mum about it, until one
thought it was too good to- keep and
told newspaper man all about it.
Miller sized the money lenders up as
easy marks. Nine different money
lenders have mortgage on the COW.
Miller began getting money on the
beast several months ago, and every
time he got broke he effected a new loan
and gave the COW for security. 1t is
said that the COW has since died, but
that does not affect the cash much one
way or the other. If he never had a
COW the case would be no worse than
the case is now. The fact that Miller
had successfully worked all the men
in the business save one, did not leak
out until few days ago. On that day
he got another loan on the same old
COW, and the loaner wanted to fortify
his claim, so he had it filed in the cir
cult clerks Office. This fact was re.
ported in the little bulletin of mort
cages and transfer furnished each
dealer, and when eight other money
lenders read it they drew a long breath
and said farewell, a long farewell to
their money.

1t is said they run to homicide as the

Condolences are always among the
interesting surprises of life. Here are
two which happened in the career of
a young Detroit singer. The young
man was recently singing in the choir
of local church. After the service
he Went to the dressing room for his
coat, but found that it had been stolen
Some weeks later he recovered the coat,
but he was forcibly reminded of the
lesson of the evening which was Him
that taketh away thy cloak, forbid him
not to take thy coat also" A year be-
fore the same young man was travel
ing in the northwest and had stopped
for several weeks in a little townin Da-
kota. AT the church there were song
services at Thanksgiving time and he
was asked to help the choir. That
evening he had his pocket picked Of
Ave dollars. The text of the evening
was: "Who hath touched me?"

The Engineering. Journal is authority
for the statement that in, 1898 Russia
passed the United States in the produc-
ton of petroleum. In 1887 this country
produced 7,7os,236 metric tons, while
the amount credited to Russia is 6,91s,-
600 tons. The output of the United
States for the year 1898 is believed to
be about the same as in 1897, while the
Russian production will amount to
about 5000, 900 tons.

The Newburg IN. W News says that
a local ieweler has invested in stock
of married mems watches" The Pc
culiarity of these watches lies in the
fact that they are furnished with an
alarm attachment which mans wife
can set at the exact hour when she
wishes him to start for home The
alarm going off at that time will re.
mind him that his wife expects him.

county Jail at Eureka Springs. Ark,
the other day to attend dance given
by some of their friends. The jailer
says local exchange, spent the night
in fruitless search for his missing
charges. and upon returning to the
prison at daybreak found them waiting

No More Big Farms.

"The days Of the big farms have
passed, never to return" said John
Dawson, Of Grand Forks, according to
the Omaha Bee. Twenty years ago
there was in the state in which live,
the Dalrymple, the Grandin and score
of other big farms, containing from
10000 to 10000 acres each, while there
were some that were even much larger.
Now, with one or two exceptions, these
farms have been divided and subdivided
until they are occupied by farmers who
are cultivating from 100 to 200 acres
each. The big farms were a curse to
the country. They were under the di-
rection of foremen who had no in
terest except to get all the work posi-
BILE out of the men and make money
for their employers. The farms were
deserted in the winter, being occupied
by just enough men to take care of the
stock. In the summer of course there
were large forces of men employed.
but they were migrating fellows and
were OF no benefit to the country, as
they were simply nonresidents work.
ing by the month. The supplies were
bought in large quantities and shipped
in from the cities, so that the local
merchants prodted nothing. Now all
of this is changed. Each tract of land
of, say 200 acres hasits farmhouse, oc-
cupied by a family. Schoolhouses have
been erected, small towns have grown
up and the whole country has taken
on an air Of prosperity"
