Saturday last at Gilt Edge Nels
Larsen was found dead In the Iron
Chancellor lode, owned by j.. A. Turn
blade. Larsen had been at Gilt Edge
only since the previous Monday and
little Is known of him. From the
surroundings and meagrs details oh.
talnabls, 1t appears that Larsen had
filled two holes, but one OF which
went off. He had returned to spit
the second and was killed by a pre-
mature explosion. No one was with
him at the time and he wasnOtfound
until 1880 p. m, when the body was
cold. His knife was In his hand. The
injuries consisted OF deep cuts In the
eye and on the forehead. either one
OF which would have proved fatal.

Beatty and the jury returned q YER
dict of accidental death by premature
explosion. No papers OF any nature
were found upon him by which he
could be Identified, except that he
had at one time worked in Marysville,
He was buried at the expense of the
county.
Monday evening Allen Mcdonald, q
well known miner In the employ oI
the Great Northern company. was
severely injured In one OF thecompany
mines. He had placed two or three
holes, all but one OF which went off
and returning to attend the remain
ing hole, he was struck by rocks
thrown by the explosion, the circum
stances being much the same as thos'
which caused the death OF Larsen.
McDonald's injuries were in the fac,
and one eye was completely destroy
ed. Mr.. Mcdonald vas previously
injured in the same eye and had hat
no use OF 1t for some time. A shor'
time ago he visited the east for treat
ment, but not successful in regainins

FARMyILLE. VA. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1900

True, they who send out mission
aries are different class from those
who send out rum, but in the minds of
the heather it is all the same. The
only opportunity they have OF judg-
ing the people OF Christian countries
is when sailors and travellers land in
their midst, and traders do business
with them. They say, these are Amer
lean Christians or English Christians,
and see what their religion does.
Hence, when missionaries from Chris
tian lands go among the heather to
propagate the Gospel, not infrequent-
ly they are accosted thus: "Whv do
you come here? Why do you not try
to teach and reform your country
men? Would you have us adopt such
religion as yours. TO abandon the
systems OF our fathers, TO become
drunkards and blasphemers? You tell
us IL we remain heather we shall GER
tsinly perish. but II is better that we
should suffer than embrace a religion
like yours. james B. Dunn. ID. d.. IN

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg
est sale OF any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
PrOstratiOn or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of un-
digested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action Of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses Of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by II. G.
