Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of U.S.
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors We're scarce and
they seldom heard OF appendicitis,
nervous prostration, orfeart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and Organtic action of
the system, and that Is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only
reed a few doses OF Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. Sample bottles

The remains Of the late j. w.
Barnhart, of Logan, came in on
the st. Paul train this morning,
and were transferred to the North
western at this place, to be taken
to Logan for interment. The
Masonic brethren of this city met
the train and assisted in the trans
fer, and a portion of the members
attended the funeral ceremonies
today. This is one of the sad
events Of human life-a husband
and father passing away in death
far from home and among strang-
ers, but it is a relief to family and
friends to know that band of
brothers of the mystic tie
true to their teaching, are ready
to extend a helping hand and to
sympathise with the sorrowing in
the loss of loved one. The de-
ceased had long been citizen of
this county, a lawyer of distinc-
tion, and a citizen Of high respect,
and his sudden death has cast a
cloud Of gloom over the entire
community. "In life we are in
the midst of DEATH"

he was walking along Farnam

before the loss occurred, Mr..

placed them in the pockets of his

Old Age.

The question is often asked US
why so much difference in the de,
gr so OF activity III mab. Why il it
that some men are old when they
have hardly reached middle age,
while others seem young when
the weight of years are upon them?
We incline to the opinion that
the mind has much to do with pro-
longation of mans life; if q man
concludes that lie is too old to at
tend to any business, he soon set
ties down to walking stick and
moves about as If the world sits
heavily upon him, and that he is
a 'back number" but If he thinks
he can do about as he did in his
younger days, he moves as if the
worlds progress depends upon his
effort and energy in pushing along
in business. A moper is one Of
the enigma's of life, and it is just
as we'll for such an one to pass in
his checks and give room for a
live man; but the reverse is true of
the one who is determined to keep
up with the proc assion, the man
who is will!ne % get-up-snd-get;
he feels that the world is good
place to reside in, that here where
we talk by lightning, travel by
electricity,cook by gas,and sing by
machinery is worth more to him
than plat of ground two by six,
an old young man can find many
things to discourage, but young
old man can get as much fun out
of life as a dozen Of these old
sticks who surrender before the
battle of life is over. To such q
one life is hardly worth the living.
We have great respect for young
old men, (and woman to, but we
are always sorry to see an old
young man. Better get-up-and-
dust, help the world to move, in
spire life and health into business,
keep moving, don't nope, death
will come to us all soon enough
without our invitation, as the peet
says:
'sRut an old age serene and bright.
And lovely Is . Lapland night
Shall lead the to thee grave
Or as Shakespeare says:
Grabbed age and youth
Cannot live together"
1t is not years that make men
old-nor work, nor study, but it
is generally borrowed trouble to
hurry us on to the tomb, the COM
mon lot of us all. Let us all try
to be happy, live right. and then
when we can no longer scare away
the grim monster death, let us all
die happy, but don't hurry to the
last act, it will reach us all in time
and our friends will mourn US Just
the same as if we had rushed the
the procession.

Although 1t was generally UNDER

bate, and it is state d that the document
is mysterionsly missing. A search
through Mrs. Amy's papers, both at

to bring the missing will to light, and
her heirs are in consequence much
concerned. That she drew up will
several years ago is evidenced by a re-

pared it acknowledging the payment
of his fees for doing so, which was

effort on the part of the various towns
of this county, all the newspapers CO.

He outlined the work as follows; That
all grain, cattle and hog shipments
from each town be published, that
every success on the farm, or business
enterprise be duly chronicled in the
local press and summarized and sent
out to the da'lies published in the
large cities, st Louis and Chicago.
That the merits of the brushy and
timbered hillsides as orchards and
fruit lands be fully advertised, that
the result obtained from the meadows
and pastures as exemplified by the
Magnolia creamery be given out with
Regularity and in detail. Of course
this will call for lots of painstaking
