A CHURCHMAN'S DISCOVERY

Fredericksburg, Ind, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to the positive declaration of
Rev. E. P. Stevens, of this place, that
gentleman has found remedy for all
diseases of the Kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severe
ly with these complaints, inconti-
nence of the urine, making life bur-
den to him, but he never ceased eX-
perimenting in the hope that some
day he would discover a remedy.
After many failures he has at last
succeeded and is to-day perfectly
cured and a we'll man, and explains
that his recovery is due to the use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This remedy has
been successfully applied to many
cases of Lame Back, rheumatism,
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and other
Kidney Diseazps, and there seems to
be no case of the kind that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will not cure. This is the
only remedy that has ever cured
Bright's Disease.

titled, and that there were charred
fragments of bodies representing by
undertaker's estimate IL or 13 adults

IOWA MANS UNMARKED GRAVE
Over Which His Friends Think q
$4,000 Monument Should
BE Erected.

"There is one unmarked grave in the
Sioux Rapids cemetery" said an old
timer recently, according to Chicago
paper, cover which Buena Vista county
could well afford to erect $4,000
monument. The occupant of this grave
thought so himself, and in his last
hours, while he was being taken care
of by money subscribed by the bust
ness men of Sioux Rapids, he spent his
time cursing the county and the
stinginess of it's officers for not fur
nishing him with money or giving him
a pension. Abner Bell was his name.
He would not go to the poorhouse.
He had done more for Buena Vista
county and had saved the county more
money than any other one man, and
he thought he deserved something bet
ter than the poorhouse.
BELL claimed to be the first settler
in the county. On the 23d of May,
1856, coming west in company with a
few other settlers, he struck the Sioux
river valley on the present site of Sioux
Rapids, and from that day until his
death it remained his home. He was
not settler in the sense that he took
land and became farmer. That was
not his nature. He never wanted any
land, and never took any. All he want
ed was good hunting and trapping. His
philosophy was that the world owed
him living, and he was able to get
it with his traps and gun. In the
early days he lived with his brother
in-law, HI. M. Weaver, and in connec-
ton with his trapping ran a little
trading post.
"At the close of the civil war there
was state law passed allowing coun-
ties to issue bonds to pay their SOL
diers. Sharpers were on hand to take
advantage of this, and in the north
western counties of the state thou
sands of dollars worth of fraudulent
bonds were issued, for which the coun-
ty never received a cent, but had to pay
them nevertheless. Clay county, which
had two soldiers in the war, issued
$4,000 of these bonds in January, 1865
or 1866. One of these soldiers, Potts
by name, received $500. That was all
that the county ever got out of the is
sue of $4,000.
when the same question came up
in Buena Vista county, Abner Bell was
one of the members of the board. The
promoters of the scheme soon found
they had no ordinary man to deal
with. AS long as Bell was present no
bonds could be issued. If they could
get him to stay away from one meet
ing there would be no trouble, and I
have heard Bell himself say that he
was offered $4,000 if he would stay
home from one meeting. This only
made him the more determined that
no bonds should be issued. 1t was for
this service that in later life he al
ways maintained that Buena Vista
owed him living, and that it was to be
better than that afforded by the poor
house."

Placed Her Babe in Oven.

Sioux, City, Ia, Dec. 2. = Mrs. j..
Fred Meyers, living five miles from
Correctionville, wrapped her five
months-old baby in a blanket, put
her in the oven of the kitchen stove
to keep warm and went out in the
yard to gather fuel. When half an
hour later she came back the fire in
the stove had blazed up and the room
was filled with smoke. Rushing to
the oven she found the flames leap
ing from the blanket and clothes and
the body of her infant. Fife was al
ready extinct and the baby's arms
and legs burned to a crisp.

Thrown from His Cab and
Killed,

The following is most interesting and, in
one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. j. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streatham,
said:
Eyes, poor chap, he is gone, dead horse
bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was
driving and killed-poor chap, and good
sort, too, mate. 1t was him, you see, who
gave me the half-bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
that made a new man of me. Twas like
this: me and Bowman were great friends.
Some gentleman had given him bottle of
st. Jacobs Oil which had done him lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that had been a martyr to
rheumatism and scatica for years, that
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. Well" said Pope. "You
may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but
before had used the contents of the half
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me, was well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after using rem
edies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments,
and spent money on doctors without get
ting any better, I was completely cured in
few days. 1 bought another bottle, think
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, SO | gave the bottle away to friend
who had lame back. can't speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer."
