Of Halloween jokers. He warned them

at him and began the attack. Hutter

was a wild retreat and Mr. and Mrs.
Hutter were not bothered any more
No one was wounded.

FOUND A BOX OF PLUMBER
Skeleton Found n Year Ago Near the Box.
Hiding Place.

okeleCon round ear a so Near the BOx'e
Hiding Place.
Lynn. Wis, Nov. 6-While engaged
i'll cutting down a maple tree whicn
grew in his pasture, Andrew Olesen
discovered cavity near it's base, and
on investigation found a wooden box
about two feet square filed with plum
der. The box had been buried so long
that the wood was thoroughly de-
cayed. Among it's contents were 12O
silver dollars of both American and
Mexican mintage. The dates were
from 1916 to 1859. About 5000 in gold
coin. consisting Of eagles and double
eagles; several pounds of old gold and
silver watch cases; candlesticks and
a large quantity Of solid silver knives,
forks and spoons.
This discovery recalls the fact that
some twenty years ago a well-to-do
farmer living between here and Ro-
madka, the next station west, was
supposed to have been murdered and
his home robbed and then burned.
Last year a skeleton Of a human be-
ing was discovered buried by the road
side, near by where Olesen found the
buried property. \ neighbOr of the
missing farmer was suspected of the
murder and robbery. but sufficient evil
dence could not be obtained to warrant
his arrest. Later on the suspect was
caught while burglarizing a store at
PittSville, Wis. and is now serving
a twenty-year sentence in Waupun
penitentiary for the crime.

Broken Brio a Bracs.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man OF
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one Of the elements of his cement costs
$3. 70 Il pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon. while large share OF the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are rothing more than sixteen
cent glne, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty. five cents bottle. and when
dealer tries to cell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
\ The profit ON Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true in
view OF the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the b-ne6t of Mr. Majors ad.
vertising. which now amounts to over
$4,000 month throughout the country.
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not &C
cept any off hand advicefrom druggist.
II you are at all handy (and you will
be likely to fin6 that you are good deal
more so than yon imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather arti-
5les, with Majors Rubber Cement and
Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars year you will thus save.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it. or bad effects following use of liquor
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity OF being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
