Serpef1tS, he knows
that his time has come. Death is only a
question Of moments; but not one man in a
thousand realizes that when a little extra
bile gets into his blood his whole system is
being poisond just as truly as if a venom
tipped arrow was sticking i'll his vitals.
Rattlcsnake poison is a good deal quick
er than bile-poisou but the latter will do
Just as deadly work if it keeps OF accu.
mulating in the system. Probably two
thirds of the cases that end in consumption
begin with "liver complaint and indiges-
ton. These troubles would never get as
far as consumption if DR.. P~ierce's Golden
Medical Discovery was used before the
bile-poisoning got fairly under way. This
remarkable ~"Discovery" invigorates the
torpid liver and gives it power to filter the
poisons out of the system rapidly and
thoroughly.
It Strengthens the digestive fluids and
enables them to make rich red nourishing
blood; it builds up healthy muscle, steady
nerve force and enduring strength.

on the globe for blood aud digestive disorders.
My appetite increased wonderfully and I have
also gaiued flesh, I would like everybody to
know the true value of DR.. Pierce's medicines

TALLEST MAN IN CHICAGO.
Joseph biacisyewski, Who Died the
Other Day, Measured Seven
Feet Eight inches.

The tallest man in Chicago, for his
weight, died the other day. His body
was buried at 81. Stanislaus cemetery,
and IL was necessary To have a coffin
made to order TO accommodate the
remains. No common hcarse was long
enough to carry the coffin. and a n en-
ira large hearse was procured. The
vehicle was made available by pushing
the coffin in as far as il would 90 and
allowing the rear end TO protrudc be-
You'd the back doors, which were left
open.
The body was that of Joseph Blacis-
yewski, OF No. 6Sl West Seventeenth
street. lie was seven feet eight inches
tall and weighed but l25 pounds at the
time of his death. He was said TO be
a veritablr living skeleton. lie was
born in Poland n wears ago, and had
lived in America ten years. Notwith.
Standing his great height and small
physical weight. he was n man Of great
physical strength. and for years he
found no difficulty in securing work
as n laGorer. For Il year he suffered
from bronchial trouble, which deyel.
oped into pulmonary consumption.
Friends of the dead man say that
some time before his death. as he was
! II need OF money. he disposed of his
body to a medical college for scientific
purposes, receiving 500. but the-agree-
ment was not recognized by the
friends, and the remains were buried.

The comic opera "H. NJ. S. Pima
fore" was rendered at Culver's hall on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
Of last week by local talent under the
direction Of Prof. F. NJ. winans. To
say that it was an artistic or finan-
cial success would not be stating the
facts, az II was neither. However,
there Is danger In being too severe In
criticising the efforts of non-profes-
SIGNALS, those who make little claim
to being vocalists and much less pre-
tensions az actors and actresses. Az
the rendering of an opera properly
requires proficiency In both direc-
tions, Mr.. Winans had a difficult task
In producing "Pinafore" with the
material at hand. Another week OF
stage reheursals would have resulted
In a much smoother production and
prevented some awkward situations.

sang his part well, considering that
he was Ill and hardly expected to APP

as Little Buttercup." sang their
parts In a pleasing manner, much OF
the latter's work being very praise
worthy. The part assigned to s. b..
Gray, that of Ralph Rackstraw, was
too high for his voice. he finding it
difficult to reach the high notes. This
was the first attempt Mt anything of
the kind In LewistOwn, but we trust
Ii will not be The last, as we feel GER
tain that the talent IL here to pre-
sent even Pinafore" i'm a most ar
tistic and acceptable manner.

w. NJ. Barney's general store on
the Judith, e the crossing of the
Benton road, was burned to the
ground Monday night with its con-
tents. The cause is unknown. The
stock and building was valued at
81, 900. Insurance to the amount OF
$500 was placed on the building Jan.
2 by Cook & Hilger, and although the
burning of the property so shortly
after gives rise to ugly rumors, there
appears to be no reasonable ground
for suspicion OF foul play. A fire Is
quite as likely to occur one day or
week after taking out insurance as
at any other time; critics should not
forget this. MIR. Barney feels his loss
severely.
The public school was closed yester-
day and will remain In vacation
until Monday at least, owing to the
prevalence of scarlet fever and
measels, as reported to the board by
Health Officer Stone and other ply
sicians. Among the cases reported
is one in the VIM. Kicks family and
one in the Mrs. n. NJ. Erickson
family. The end sought by closing
the schools Is to keep the children
separated and thereby prevent the
spread of infection, but IL parents
allow their children to run the streets
and mingle with those of their neigh
Dor, the precautions taken are need
less and, indeed, many think it would
be better to keep the schools open.
A little are on the part of parents

The local land Office il in receipt Of
the s~ecretary's decision in the case
entitled w. A. Forsyth ct al. VS..
Henry Weingart and involving Il
stone quarry on Spring creek. The
case dates back several months when
Weingart offered proof on the claim
under the timber and stone act, For
syth and Laux appearing as pro-
testants, setting forth a prior claim.
The local officers dismissed the pro-
test and admitted Weingart's proof.
Appeal being taken to the commits
sioner the local Office was reversed
and the land awarded to Forsyth
and Laux. Weingart then carried
the case to the secretary of the
interior and this final decision
sustains the conclusions of the COM
missioner but upon different premis-
es, basing it upon a recent decision
in another case holding stone
quarries as mineral and that patent
therefor must come under the
mineral laws. This decision had not
been given at the time the former
local officials, Messrs. Hilger and
Barnes, decided this contest, and
their conclusions were based upon
the law as construed at that time.
Laux and Forsyth are now the un-
disputed owners OF the quarry.

The report Of the state auditor
shows that bounty claims to the
amount of $SS,S69 were filed during

where a great number Of coyotes
were reported slaughtered and com
paratively few wolves, sustain theiI
contention that in fact coyote peltf

Crops AND WEATHER.

The following crop and weather
report is taken from the report of
the weather bureau tor this see
tion of Mississippi, and is faith
full account. Around Greenville
we are informed, some corn was
already up on the 9TH and Sth,
and was killed. This fact, and
the rotting OF seed, will necessi-
tate much replanting in the coun-
ty:
The week has been unfayorable
for all kinds of farm work and the
growth of crops where there has
been planting. Considerable rain
fell during the week and when it
was not raining TIE weather was
cloudy and cold. From every
section of the State the season is
reported from two or four weeks
later than usual. In the northern
and in some of the central coun-
ties the ground has generally been
two wet to pillow. Corn planting
has progressed to a limited degree.
In some sections where corn has
been in the ground quite while,
it will he necessary to replant on
account of rot. Very little cotton
has been planted so far. Nege-
tables are late and in some sections
were injured by frost on the 9TH
and Sth. 1t is too early to tell
what effect, if any, the frost has
had upon the fruit.

TRUTH WILL PREVAIL.

The Memphis Scimitar has the
honest courage to come out bold
ly and say:
"The people who have been able
to really understand and make any
sense out Of anything which Mrs.
Browning's husband gave us may
be counted on the fingers of one
hand Indeed, it may be said that
>, nobly gifted wife was the only
one. 1t seems highly probable
that from her own beautiful mind
she supplied the sense and senti-
mont-if 1t has any-to Robert
Browning's work"
To those who, after vain mid
night wrestlings, have "arisen
and solemnly cursed Robert Brown
ing this is water in the desert.
The world has tried long and
faithfully to look at Mrs. Brown
ing's husband" through the in
spired eyes of his wife. 1t re-
ouires no sacrifice Of unseItiSh de-
votion to make PLAN the great
ness and the beauty of Elizabeth
Barrett, butt is time that We should
cease, even for for her sake, to
blind ourselves to the grotesque
distortion which she worshipped
like Titaniu. Life is too short for
Robert Browning. "The Cry of
the Children" or The Souls
Travelling" outweighs all that he
ever wrote.
