Clover Valley. The bracing monn-
tain air held back the hand Of death
and in 1894 hs father and family
moved to Elko, where they have
since resided. Willie attended the
public school and graduated in 1895.
He wac an earnest student and had
no difficulty in obtaining u first grade
certificate to teach in. the public
schools OF the State. In this prot S.
ion he was succt ssful and WAS rapid.
ly winning his way in the world
when he was again stricken by the
dread disease and though he had tIr-
best care and loving h1nds nursed
him the light OF life went out.
Tn, deceased bnre ali excellent
reputation for honesty integrity
and everything that goes to make a
noble manhood. He was kind aid

His family mourn his untimely
death. The tears Of youth and age
minRle around his bier. All is gloom
because Of the light that has gone out
OF their home forever. But through
this darkness, the pure and unsullied
life OF their lost one speaks to them
words OF hone and comfort. May
this and the light that streams from
the throne Of God drive away the
clouds and tighten their sorrow.
The funeral will take place from

CATARRH or STOMACH.

fsCtual Cure for Il. ~ I,i
Catarrh OF the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to In
durable. The usual sym i,to,is are a
full or bloatinR sensation after eating
accompanied sometimes with aour or
watery risings, formation OF gases,
CAUSING pressure ON the heart anc
lungs and difficult breathing; head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness
and a general played out, languld
feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the int.
rior Of the stomach could he seen
it would show a simy, intlamed co.,
ditioD.
The cure Of this common and oh
stinate trouble is fopnd in a treat
ment which causes the fud to be
readily. thoroughly digeeted before it
has time to ferment and irritate the
delicate muruOns surfaces of the
stomach. To secure prom pit aud
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal diges-
ton is secured the. catarrhal condi.
ton will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson Tire
Safest and best treatment is to use at
ter each neal d tablet, composed Of
Oiatase, Aseptic P-psin, a little Nuz.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of S,uart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
patent medicine can I've used with
perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough diges-
tiou will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher Of 27lO Dearborn
ST., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: @Catarrh is
a local condition resulting from q
neglected cold in the head, Whereby
the lining membrane OF the nose be.
comes inhamed and the poisonous
discharge therefrom passing back
ward into the throat reaches the stom.
acb, thus producing catarrh Of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-.
scribed for me for three yeare for
catarrh Of the stomach without cure.
but today I am the happiest of men
after using only one box of StuarL's
Dyspepsia Tablets. l cannot find ap
propriate words to express my good
feeling. I have found flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.'
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the

GARDEN LETTUCE.

Confusion Of Nnmes-Tw0 Varieties
Of Unusual Merit.
A most valuable and interesting fea-
ture Of the second part Of the tenth an
nual report of the Rhode Island station
is classification and description Of the
varieties Of garden lettuce. Descriptive
lists of the varieties Of lettuce have al
ready been published, but it is believed
that there has been no recent classifica-
ton based entirely on botanical char
acters The kinds have been grouped
as spring, summer and winter, and as
cabbage, cutting and Cox lettuces, and
then the names arranged in alphabetic-
al order. But with this disposal any
change in q name Of variety is sure to
lead to confusion. In this new classifi-
cation the position Of kind Of lettuce
is approximately determined by certain
botanical characters irrespective of the
name. The descriptions of kinds which
closely resemble each other are placed
close together SO that they can be read
lily compared and the minor differences
