An Oak Tree Sundered the CONN Of
John Randolph.
John Randolph, of Roanoke, died
June "a, 1888, at the City hotel in Phila-
delphia. where he had gone to set sail
for England. On his way there, says the
Philadelphia Times, he passed through
Washington, and, dragging his emaci-
ated body with difficulty to the senate
chamber, again met Henry Clay. The
former enemies had touching inter-
view and parted, for the last time, in
peace and good will.
Randolph was carried to Virginia and
buried under the pines Of Roanoke In
the midst of that solitude which ne had
always craved in life. Many years later
his remains were removed to Hollywood
cemetery In Richmond, and handsome
monument placed over them by John
Randolph Bryan.
In making the removal it was found
that his body was buried no less than
eight feet in the ground; the triple lead
coffin was with difficulty removed, as
the roots of an old oak had burst Il
nsunder and wrapped round and round
his body, holding him in a long en-
brace close to the state he had loved 30
well.

Salt q New Fad.

The absorption of salt as means
of prolonging human life is among
the discoveries recently made by
the stored scientists of the news
paper-that is, the kind of scientists
who make newspaper stories. All
a man has to do is to lick rock salt
until he learns how to love it with
the affection OF brindle COW, or
HE him to the shore where the rest
less waves wash the uDchanging
rocks, and sup in a few gallons of
natures solution.
There are still to be found in some
places remains of the old blue glass
skylights with which people pro-
longed their lives quarter of a
century ago. 1t cannot be denied
that many of those who had the rays
of the sun fall on them through the
colored glass, and religiously made
themselves look like moonlight ef-
feet in modern theater every day,
25 years ago, are still living. Some
who did not use the blue glass have
also survived.

which is frequently produced on the

Simple Remedy.

The annoyance of having windows
covered with frost can be prevented
by a few precautions. One OF the
best ways, says an exchange, is to
use preparation OF one pint Of al
cohol to one ounce OF glycerine.
Shake the bottle 10 which these two
ingredients have been placed, then
let it stand until the contents are
quite clear. This can then be
applied to the inner surface OF the

II. D. Conrey, who weighed 400

Particulars Of John }. Hesley's Death

The following details as to the
manner of the death of Judge John
j. Healey, formerly of this city, are
taken from the Aberdeen, 5. Oak.
Daily News;
Judge John j. Healey was killed
by lightning during the afternoon
of Saturday, May 4th, while on horse
back at his cattle ranch two miles
south of NJ lima.
Judge Healey, who occupied the
position of satistician of the United
States senate, returned from Wash
ington after the close of the session
and entered with characteristic
vigor into the work of the spring
season at his stock and grain ranch.
The circumstances under which
Judge Healey met death was such
that it was almost like lightning
from clear sky. His herd boy went
to the house and informed him that
"A COW had gotten into mud hole
and he needed assistance to get her
out. The Judge mounted his horse
and went to the place, which was
some distance from the house. After

getting the COW out OF the mud, he
sent the boy to the house for dinner
and said he would be in shortly. He
did not appear and the boy went to
look for him and after considerable
lsearching found him and his horse
/ dead on the prairie about Ii half Il
mile from the house. The rain of
! the afternoon had not begun to fall
at that time, though there was Il
small cloud directly over where he
| was found. From this single thun-
derbolt decended and proved fatal to
both horse and rider.
John J. Healey came to this Sec
tion from Wisconsin, in the early
SOS and took up land in what was
then known as range 66, which was
afterwards attached to and made a
part Of Edmunds county. In 1892 he
was elected county judge Of Ed
munds county and filled the posi-
ton with credit, gaining fine repu-
tation for his care and judicious S.
ness in thehandling of the estates of
deceased persons. He became a
stauch supporter of Senator James
Kyle, and for the past ten years
their relations had been close.
He was one of the most compan-
ionable of men, genial, courteous and
in all ways likeable, and he had no
end of friends wherever he was
known. He leaves Il sorrowing wife
and one child, daughter aged 3
years, to mourn his untimely death.

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chiti-, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their
first indication persistent cough
and if properly treated as soon as the
cough appears, are easily cured
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
proven wonderfully successful, and
gained it wide reputation and extern
sive sale by its success in curing the
diseases which cause coughing. If it
is not beneficial it will not cost you a
cent. For sale at Vivian's Pharm a cy
