CURED!
BY the Great Specialist In Treating
Weak and Diseased Hearts,
Frak1in Miles, m. D. IL. B.
Will Send So. SO Worth Of His Spec.
ial Treatment Free as a Trial.

[ To demonstrate the unsual curative
powders of his new and complete special
treatments by, mail for heart disease,
short breath, pain in the side. oppres.
sion in the chest, irregular pulse, palpi-
tation, smothering spells, putting Of the
ankles, or dropsy, DR.. Miles will send
two dollars and half worth free as a
trial, to all who mention this paper.
His treatments are the result of
twenty-five years of careful study, ex-
tensive research, and remarkable exper-
fence in treating the various ailments
of the heart, stomach, and nerves, which
so often complicate each case. So aston.
ishing are the results of his complete
special treatment that he does not hesi-
tate to offer all persons trial free.
Nothing could be more generous. Few
physicians have such confidence in their
remedies. There IS no reason why
every afflicted person should not avail
themselves of this exceedingly liberal
offer, as they may never have another
such opportunity. No death comes as
suddenly as that from heart disease.

cured after thirty physicians failed; Mrs.

Dead.

At,the home of bis brother John near
Holden, Geo. Hall passed into the un-
known last Sunday morning. bout
three weeks ago, the Sunday the deep
snow fell, he left his home on Sand creek
for his brother Johns late in the even
ing, but the snow being so deep and
being feeble, he fell in snow drift near
Johns house and it was about nine
o'clock at night before he could attract
attention from any one. John heard
his calls and went to his rescue and by
the aid of neighbors and Chas. spargel
with his sled, hauled him to the house
where restoratiyes we're administered.
He revived, ate ahearty supper prepared
by Mrs, John Hall and was feeling very
much better. During the night his legs
began to swell and everything vas done
to stop his suffering. Medical aid was
called and the swelling reduced, but the
cold he had contracted had penetrated
the lungs, and lung fever set in from
which he died.
Geo. Hall was born in England and
moved to America several years ago,
and settled with his wife on farm north
of town, where they lived until about
three years ago when his wife died; be-
coming restless, he sold his farm and
returned to the old country, expecting
to remain there the balance of his days.
But time had changed things there.
They were not as he had left them in
his young days; hence he returned to
this country last fall. Tired Of living
from place to place, few months ago
be bought the j. b. Hullinger farm on
Sand Greek and made it his home, living
alone. f9Uncle George as ha vas fa-
miliarly called, had his peculiarities,
like other people. By some he was
called miser and lived the lite of the
friendless. 1t is thought by many that
he had between $1,000 and 600 but
$l5 is all that can be located. But let
his life be as it was. a soul has gone into
the eternal world, where it shall be
judged. Ii as draw the mantle Of
charity across the past Of this poor old
man as be was only human, and say
peace to his sleeping body Of clay. He
leaves brother, John Hall, at whose
home he died, a sister in England, and
a widowed slster,in.law, Mrs. Jane Hall
near Boothtown.. His remains were
buried Monday by the side of his wife's
in the Gammill cemetery north Of
Spring Valley.-Pleasanton Index.

The Red Oak Express is green enough
to ask: "Do Revivals Pay?" Why, you
poor Montgomery county sinner, you
ought to be ashamed of your ignorance.
Pay? Why, yes, of course they pay.
"Billy" Sunday, the former baseball
player, closed meeting at Alton the
other day with 200 "accessions" and
$500 in "Billy's" collection. Didn't
that pay, you sordid worldling? And
Evangelist Williams, Of Iowa, is report
ed to have closed meeting in Kansas
the other day where he carried away
81 900! Didn't that pay, you miserable
unregenerate interrogation point? Cite
us to revival that ever lost money.
Do they pay? Why, if that crank at Red
Oak don't quit asking such fool ques-
tions, we'll cut him of our exchange list
and leave him groping in the outer dark
ness! There are towns in Iowa so ad-
dicted to the revival habit that they
will pay an evangelist more cash for a
three weeks stand than they pay their
hardworking pastor for years work.
And then to think that an unregenerate
journalistic bullfrog down on the banks
of the Nishnabotna river will raise a
croak and ask::"Do Revivals Pay?'
That's easy. Let us give the Red Oak
Exchange one that will interest it: Does
Pastoral Work Pay-goiag in all kinds
of weather to preach to the living, to
bury the dead, tosmarry the young, to
visit the old, to cheer the sick, to help
the needy, tifty.two weeks in the year,

glad hand and all the pie?" This is the
real question of the day. Let the Red

the result Of its deliheratlons.-Knox.

Do "RevlvaIs. pay?

Opinion seems to be divided as "a
whether the Williams brand of revival
results in permanent good-whether the
results warrant the cost. 1t has been
nearly year now since the great reviv.
al was held in Red Oak, and we should
be able to measure results by practical
standards by this time. How MANY of
the 600 and more converts are leading
better lives than they led year ago?
How many have backslidden and are
worse of than before? What churches
are stronger financially because of the
revival? Have the deadbeats who got
religion and the delinquents who had
religion been more prompt IN the paw
ment of their bills9 How many young
ladies who agreed not to dance or PLAY
cards have kept their promise? Has it
helped the ministers in their work?
These are questions in which the peo.
Pile are interested. They spent three
weeks or more working for the cause OF
religion and several thousands Of dollars,
What practical good has resulted? Has
the revival been worth all it cost? The
Express would be glad to have an ex.
preston on this subject from citizens OF
Red Oak. Tell us what you think OF
the revival as viewed retrospectively at

A "Knutty" Family.

You see my friend Tom Knutt
married Major Hickory's Oldest
daughter, Hazel. The marriage no.
tice read something like this: Click

united under one she'll Tom knutt
and Hazel Knutt (nee Hickory.'D In
about year their union was blessed
with little son whom they called
Walter-Walter Knutt; but every
body called him Wal Knutt for short.
When he grew up he became kerpal
(coloneD but was dismissed from the
army for trying to work shell game,
thus showing that he was not what
he was cracked up to be. Their sec
ond son was named Chester Chester
Knutt-although everybody called
him Ches Knutt for short. He
went to work in an office. I Isuppose
that's why folks used to say he was
office(otf his) Knutt. They have one
daughter girl with lovely almond
eyes, who was christened Hazel in
honor of her mother, Hazel Knutt.
OF course that occasioned slight
confusion OF names, for when any,
body called at the house and asked
for Hazel, a voice would shout down
from up stairs: Witch Hazel.
