Daniel Messer, on his return home from
his New England visit, stopped over one
day at Springfield, Mass, to visit William
?. Nation, son of William Mattoon,
after whom the city of Mattoon was
named. Mr.. William p. Mattoon's fami-
ly consists of bright, intelligent and
very attractive and charming lady of
about Sc years and lovely and entertain
ing daughter of about 26 years. "She is
highly educated in everything that goes
ing and beautiful" says Mr.. Messer in
speaking of the young lady, Mr.. Mat
toon is fine looking, clean-cut, up-to-
date business man. He was quite busy
at his Office in the morning for an hour
or two, so he introduced me to his wife
and daughter by telephone and sent me
up to his residence by carriage. Upon
my arrival they greeted me as free and
easy as If they had known me for twenty
years, and can truly say that my visit
with them was the most pleasant of all
my life. Mr.. Messer brought home
souvenir program of a. testimonial given
to Mrs. Nation at the Court Square
Theater at Springfield, Friday, Nov. 4,
1895, rendered by the citizens of Spring
field and the musical societies. The
beautiful nautical opera, II. M, S. Pima
fore, was rendered, Mrs. Mattoon taking
the part of Little Buttercup. The
Springfield theatrical notes TEEN with
complimentary notices of Mrs. Mattoon
as the leading amateur actress and singer
in New England and the statement is
made that would she consent to go on
the stage as a professional, her salary
would be princely. But while she has
the trend of the artist the home ties and
and home love holds her to her home, but
to all calls for charitable purposes her
talent is ever ready to assist in raising
funds.

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form Of kidney trouble.
