VERY SUDDEN DEATH
MRS. WILLIAM ANDERSON STRICK-
EN- BY HEART DISEASE.
DIED AT THE HOME OF A FRIEND
Had Been in Usual Health During the Day
And Had Been Down Town Shop
ping-one of the Best known
Ladies of the Town

Mrs. Anna Johanna Anderson, wife
of William Anderson, and one of the
best known ladies of the city, died
very suddenly Tuesday evening shortly
after five o'clock at the home of Mrs.
Charles Anderson, on Wisconsin street.
Mrs. Anderson had been in usual
health during the day, and in the
afternoon in company with her niece
had gone down town to do some shop
ping. As they were returning home
Mrs. Anderson complained of being i'll,
and her niece took her to the home of
Mrs. Charles Anderson, and leaving
her there hurried for a doctor.
Mrs. Anderson entered the house
and sitting down ia a chair said she
was very i'll. She suddenly became
very pale and Mrs. Charles Anderson
took her in her arms. When DR.. Rip
ley arrived few moments later the
lady had already passed away with her
head resting on her friends shoulder.
The announcement of her unexpect-
ed death caused great sorrow among
her friends and relatives. The remains
we're removed to her late home on
Dayton street Tuesday evening, but
the date of the funeral has not yet
been arranged.
In the death of Mrs. Anna Anderson
the Danish population of KenOsha
receives a severe loss. The deceased
was forty nine years of age, and was
born in Denmark. In 1884 she came
to Kenosha with her husband and
children, and has since lived in this
city. She was devout christian lady,
aud member of the Danish Lutheran
church in which she was great worker.
She was closely connected with every
charitable organization of KenOsha,
and gave freely to all good purposes.
She had a kind word for every one,
and was always ready and willing to
assist the needy. On account of her
kindly interest in all, she was known
among her friends and neighbOrs as
" Mother Anderson" and many a tear
of sorrow will fall on account of her
death.
Her husband and five children sur
vive her. They are Jacob, Eddie and
Willie Anderson, Mrs. Peter johnson
and Mrs. W. Fl. Hill.

It is made from a formula of Dr.. r. v.
Pierce, the celebrated specialist in diseases
of women at Buffalo, N. Y. It is a strictly
Temperance medicine, containing neither
alcohol opium or other narcotic poison.
It's protracted use does not create craving
for Intoxicating stimulants or deadly mar
cotics. It cures irregularities, displace-
ments, drains, alterations, Inflammation,
headache, backache and nervousness. It
prepares the way for almost painless ma
fernity, and insures ROBUSTNESS to the new
born. 1t cures women at home, and does
away with obnoxious questioning and local
examinations.
Some medicine dealers offer substitutes
when YOU ask for DR.. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription They initiate this medicine
in appearance as nearly as the law will
allow but they cannot initiate its record
of thirty years of cures.
Mrs. Matte Venghaus, of Tioga, Hancock Co,
Ill, writes: al had been sick for seven years,
not in bed, but just dragging myself around.

A New England woman is the owner
of hen which appears to choose her
surroundings with discriminating
eye.
Soon after her present owner &C.
guired the hen she discovered the crea-
lures fondness for stepping into the
house whenever she could effect an
entrance and laying an egg on the
down coverlet which ornamented the
bed in the best chamber"
One day the hen managed to get in
unobserved during season of sweep
ing, and her presence was only dis
covered as she made her way hastily
out OF the side door, cackling with tri-
umph, some time later.
AS the best room coverlet had been
out of the way during the sweeping,
the mistress of the house looked about
for the egg which she felt sure had
been laid somewhere. She found it,
after half an hours search, on the
plush mattel covering in the parlor,
where the hen must have sat in state
between a china shepherdess and q
glass vase.
Nothing on the mantelshelf had been
disturbed, although just how the hen
had managed the delicate business will
never be known.--Youth's Companion.

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
Tho Most Common Cause Only Recently
Discovered.

II has been stnted ON good medical
authority that nine-tenths of the
cases of deafness are caused from
sstarrh or from sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the
ear from the throat is lined with n
sort OF velvety structure called nue.
GUS membrane. This membrane is
simply q continuation of the mucous
membrane lining the throat. When
disease Of any sort attacks the nue.
ous membrane of the throat 1t is very
liable to extend into the eustachian
tube and up into the ear.
The history of nearly all cases of
deafness is like this: q cold is con-
tracted and neglected, other colds
are taken, the throat becomes sore
and inflamed, which Is aggravated
by particles of dust and germs from
the air. This condition causes the
disease to spread into the tubes that
leads to the ear.
1t seems a little far fetched to say
that most cases of deafness are caus-
ed from catarrh, but it is certainly
true, and anyone who has had Sc
we're catarrhal cold must have MOTTO
ed how the hearing was affected
while the cold lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impair
ment of hearing becomes chronic
and grows worse the longer the Gu
tarrh is neglected. ,.
You can cure catarrh and deafness
by the regular use of an excellent
new preparation called Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, composed of antiseptic
remedies which act both on the muc-
GUS membranes but principally and
most effectually on the blood, elimi-
mating the catarrhal poison from the
system.
People whose hearing is defective
may think it little remarkable that
simple and harmless tablet would
very often remove all traces of deaf
ness, but when it is remembered that
catarrh causes the deafness and that
the catarrh is easily cured by the
regular use of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's there Is no mystery about 1t.
If you are subject to nasal catarrh
or catarrh of throat, bronchial tubes
or catarrh of stomach and liver, the
safest and most effective treatment
is the new catarrh specific, Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, sold by all druggists
at Scots. for full sized package.

from the "blanket tribes" who dwell
among them. There are about 90 parts
of tribes who are Incorporated in the
Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Sem
mole and Creek Nations. Each of these
five nations has a tribal government,
which consists of council and "house
of warriors" answering to our senate
and house of representatives. The ex-
ecutive power is vested in n first and
second chief. BY recent act Of con-
gress the legislative power is restrict
ed to local tribal matters and is gov
ernment in name only. In few years
it will cease entirely, as stated, and
the last of the aboriginal governments
in the United States will be swept
away.
While the government has replaced
the Indian schools with free school
system and white teachers the Indians
are not disturbed In their religious ex-
ercises. They continue to celebrate
the harvest festival" or green corn
dance" but are no longer permitted to
put witches to death. The "blanket
Indians" are only partly civilized
and still cling to their sborigi-
nal mode of dress and undress, ac-
cordlng to the season. They do not
scalp the paleface, but they are ex-
pert with the bow and arrow and the
rifle, and white intruders take des-
perate chances in entering these wild
and thinly settled regions. Occasion
ally the more civilized come to the
villages to trade game and skins for
ammunition, guns, whisky, etc. They
get drunk in the usual civilized way,
and the usual frontier town fighting
takes place. The women have not yet
mastered the art OF making dresses,
and when they have bought several
yards of red calico they wrap the piece
around the body as n Roman toga.
Cattlemen are swarmlng into the ter
ritory, anticipating the coming change
in affairs, and the tro lies between
them and the Indians are becoming
more serious. Pending the substitu-
tion of the federal laws for tribal laws

harvests on the tribal grazing lands re-
fuse to pay for the leases and yet will
not vacate. They hold that as the tribal
governments are virtually extinct there
is no one to pay the money to. rus
