acute attack but have been left

nervous, exhausted feeling possesses
you. That lack of ambition, loss Of
appetite and your inability to sleep
is a direct result of LaGrippe's poi
sonousgerms. Q.
Do not wait until you are COM
pletely run down before you try to
do something for it. DIR. Miles
Nervine will cure you, and doesn't
cost tenth as much as doctors fees.

Preacher Takes His Life.
Rer. ". c. McCool, u Notire of this
NdlXey Commits Suicide.

Valley Commits Suicide.
Rev. William McCool, pastor OF
the Lutheran church at West Point,
Nebraska, committed suicide last
Thursday morning by shooting him
self with shot gun, at that place.
Rev. McCool was a native of
of Gregg township, this county. and
a sou of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob McCool,
Spring Mills, and is well known to
many in this valley and throughout
this part of the State.
He was minister of recognized
ability and stood well in his charge.
About four years ago his wife died,
leaving four children. Since then
he had shown signs of dependency
and melancholia. Last Thursday
morning Rev. McCool left his home
at West Point, at about nine o'clock
and was seen by several persons pro-
ceeding in the direction of the brick
yards, where Lis remains were after
wards found. He had made an ap-
pointment with a Lutheran minister
at Omaha, Rev. Luther Kuhns, for
that day, and was to meet him at
noon when the train arrived. As
Rev. McCool failed to keep his ap-
pointment the gentleman went to
the Lutheran pasonage. He had not
been seen for several hours and as
he had been suffering from melan-
cholia for some time it was feared
that he might have sought refuge in
death.
A search was at once instituted
and he was followed to withina short
distance OF of the brick yards. Here
in barn was found his lifeless body.
He had placed the muzzle of the
gun in his mouth and pushed If the
trigger with his foot. The charge
was great enough to blow his head
from his shoulders, his features be-
ng entirely nnrecognizable. The
weapon used was shot gun, which
lie had borrowed from neighbor
whom he told that he was going
,unting. The discovery ofhis body
vas not made until some hours after
he suicide had been committed.
He was aged about fifty-three
'earS, and leaves a family of four
children. He was married to a Miss
Fisher, of Sclinsgrove, and about
fifteen years ago was pastor of the ;
lutheran charge at New Berlin,
Union county. His remains were
Inferred by the side of his wifein the
at Ponca, Neb. Il
Rev. McCool had many friends in
'enns Valley where he was born
md raised who will be greatly
hooked to learn of his untimelyis

WilIina TO Stand on Our Record.


compliments to the newspaper pub
fishers of the county seat last week
by saying that for some time there
has not been an aggressive newspaper
published at the county seat. Per-
haps that is true. For that matter
all our papers in the county could
be improved, more especially the
Times. For the Posi- we will say
that we need not be ashamed of our
record when compared to others and
we are willing to let our readers be
the Judges. On February %, 1899
the Posi- agreed ifthe people of Mid
dleburg would raise $4,000, $4,000
or $4,000, for the establishment Of
an industry in this town, the Posi-
would furnish the industry as large
as the subscription would warrant.
The Posi- did not even wait for the
people of Middleburg to do their
part of the work and set to work
Immediately to prepare itself tomeet
any such an offer and in less than
ten days it offered to the citizens of
this place an industry in the shape
fthe Main Shoe Company of Cata-
wissa. 1t also presented propositions
from two other parties. The citizens
chose the former and on Saturday
evening the contract was closed and
the erection of the building will be-
gin at once and we hope to see the
plant in operation in five or six
weeks. We challenge tie Times to
show us a similar record of aggres-
sive journalism.
This is not all. The Posi- also
has the distinction OF having inaug-
gurated the idea of publishing the
names of persons whohave taken out
licenses to get married. This same
paper has also been the leaderi in get
ting for publication the list of deeds
entered for record, the letters testa-
mentary and letters of administra-
ton in the settlement of the estates
of the county. This was certainly
a proper move inaggressive Journal
ism as it has already some followers
in its foot steps. However, up to
this time, the Times has been too far
in the rear to keep pace with the
PosT's aggressive ideas of running
an up-to-date newspaper.
In all walks of lie there are per-
Sons engaged in callings that are too
narrow to seeprogressive movements
by their more aggressive brethren
or worse yet are unwilling to acknow-
ledge them. The narrow-minded
Jargon has no place in modern call
ings unless it would be as Peter
Rauch of Shaded can explain, the
price for supporting a candidate for
county commissioner. We never
charged nor asked any candidate the
sum of 500. We presumetheabov
compliment was written or at least
conceived when the Times Editor
was sleeping off his drunken stupor
referred to in the last issue of the
Snyder County Tribune.
We would also call the attention
of the Times to the fact that the PosT
has collected all the marriages of
Snyder County for the last thirty
years that it could CLEAN from old
newspapers and from the license
docket and has published them in
the PosT, also the marriage records
of Revs. Casper, Shindel and Erlen-
meyer and when all have been COM
pleted will be published in book
