cow GOT DRUNK.
M. w. Walterscheid Let His Cow into
the Orchard.


Mr.. II. W. Walterscheid has troubles Of
his own. He lives at 1922 East Central,
and has q fine orchard on his place. and
also owns a very valuable COW. Tester-
day that cow got drunk, and Mr. Wal
terscheid was ia an awful stew. He did
not know what to do with her. He did
not think the police would take her in
and lock her up. and he did not have
time to work with her. At first ne aid not
know what the matter was lie thought
she was sick lie sent for the horse doc
tor, and when he came and saw the
cow, he broke out with a loud and
hearty laugh, and when he could control
himself enough to talk he said: Your
old COW is drunk; drunk as a lord"
After examining her, the owner concluded
that the doctor was not giving him hot
air" so he took steps TO let her sober of.
The COW was standing in the lot weav-
ing from side TO side and staggering Ike
a man with a gOod-sized jag on, and
every little while she would give a
grand sigh Of perfect content. She was
fur in the truest sense of the term,
and was glad of it, and was so happy that
she wanted every one to know it. She
was very affectionate TO her owner, and
objected to being compelled to Get over
her fun She did not do anything des-
perate, but was like one or those fellows
that get sociable when they are well
loaded. The horse doctor could hardly
keep from laughing so hard that he
could not give her some medicine, but
finally got good dose down the cow
throat. and then went away. leaving in
strUctions not TO feed the cow any for p
day or so. When the COW was examined
she was as fun as tick but last night
she was so thin that she would have TO
stand twice in the same place to make "a
shadow. She was oil over her Jag, but
did not seem TO regret it. Then Mr.. wal
terscheid made a discovery that almost
broke his heart. TIe found that the cow
had been in the habit Of going to his
orchard and eating apples that were ON
the ground The high wind Of the night
before had blown q great many down.
and the cow had eaten them an. and as
they were cider apples, She got little
too much and had good time. That IS
what is troubling 8Ir. Watershed. His
COW eats an the windfara. ard when
there is large supply she gets drunk
and when she is drunk she is net worth
much as a mixer and is so very eoody-
goody TO her owner that he hates - keep
her out of the orchard but does not want
all his apples eaten mp and does not ike
to have his COW FUR every time he goes
10 feed her.

IN the room Of S. B. Amidon yesterday.
and after a short discussion adjourned
10 meet next Saturday afternoon at ?
O'Clock. The chairman was out Of the
city and not all Of the committee were
present. so those who were in the room
decided that the best thing for them to do
was to wait until the others were present.
The only business transacted was that
the party would fuse with the Populists
and fight together for county commits
nioner Of the Third district. The exact
way of doing this was not definitely de-
cided upon. but one Of the politicians in-
terested I'm the affairs, and who is in close
touch, told 2 reporter for the Eagle that
there would be bat one party in the fed,
80 FAR as the Democrats and Populists
were concerned. and that this party
would be called either the Fusion or
Democratic party. There VIII be no
2opulist party in the field this year. All
the PoNs VIII vote for their man, bat
he viii be one who is satisfactory to both
elements said the politician. Just what
name The party would 60 under this year
was not decided at the meeting, but viii
come up next Saturday, when the com
mittees meet
There are six candidates I'm the field
this year They are Deacon. Wilson, Of
Delan0 township the present incumbent;
AR. Pearce. Of ut. Hope; Theodore A.
OsVeiler. OF Garden Plain; John ENton,
Of Salem. Mr.. Booth, of Erie; Mr.. Comp

TOOK TWO DRUGS
Ella Earnest Wanted 10 Be
Sure of Dying.
UNCONSCIOUS TEN HOURS
Doctor Worked Hard to Save
Her.

Mrs. Ella Ernest committed sticide
Friday evening by taking an overdose OF
morphine aud cocaine. She lives at $40
fremont avenue and has a husband at
Shawnee, 0. T. she has been addicted
TO the use of the drug for several years
and at first It was supposed that she sim
ply took an overdose CT the drug without
any intention to kill herself Yesterday
afternoon it was found that she had had
some trouble with man here and they
parted and then she told the girls about
the house that if she should happen to
take an overdose of the drug for them to
leave her alone and not try to save her.
It is now settled fact that she took the
drug with suicidal intent. she would
probably not have taken q dose of more
shan one drug. had she not intended to
commit suicide. The people in the neigh
1olhocd think she took a dose OF NOR
phine first ana this did not work fast
enough to suit her so she took the CO.
caine.
At about o'clock Friday evening the
woman was taken sick, but the other
Girls did not think much OF it and left
her alone. About 10 o'clock she seemed 10
he in considerable pain, so a doctor was
sent Ter. DR.. St. John came and worked
with the woman until she died. He ar
rived few moments after 10 and until
O'Clock thought that the woman would
recover. He did everything in his power
to save her and to restore her respiration,
bur al without avail. She did not regain
consciousness nor did she seem to be any
worse at any time from the time the
doctor reached the scene until within
few moments of the time she died 1t was
hard work, but it seemed to the physician
and those at the bedside that she would
certainly pun through.
The woman has been about this town
for nearly four years She has not been
here all the time. but came and went.
IT seems that she has a husband at
Shawnee ard also a lover here. The
hckIeness of the local man is is what is
supposed to have caused her taking the
poison.
The body was removed TO CHS under
taking rooms and the womans husband
notified but up to 2 late hour last night
nothing was received as to the DISPOSE
ton Of the body. The woman was known
here as Ella Rufhn, and but for a chance
letter her right name would not have
been known here.

Sometimes these campaigns require the
speakers and managers to sleep in a diff

hotels every day, travel by day and speak
at night for many months at time.
No one can endure this strain without
some remedy to protect them from the
vicissitudes OF the climate. Something to
insure good digestion and sound sleep.
something to give nerve and brain the In

going too far to say that It is the only
remedy that will do this but at least It
