Couldn.t Wear Shoes

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10th.-Mrs. J. B.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
SO very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time, but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. ]. J. Dale's drug store
in Carmi- Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six, before she was en-
tirely cured She is now as sound and
as well as ever she was, completely re-
stored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr..
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs Flanagan of such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
county.

Peanut Kings interesting Career.

F. w. Mills as a peanut king has
had an interesting career. He began
life as peanut vender on train.
When only twelve years cid he had
contracts with several railroads run
ming out of Chicago for the exclusive
right to sell peanuts on the trains.
This lad of twelve had grown men in
his employ. Mills, the peanut vender,
is now the employer of more than 900
men. He is manager of a company
that makes slot machines, which sup
ply sailed peanuts. Mr.. Mills will put
15, 900 machines on the market. When
all are out it will require 10000 pounds
of peanuts to supply them for one day.
Mr.. Mills has expended between $780,
600 and 100000 in laying in the sup
ply he thinks he will need.-Indianap-

Gentlemen, there never will be any
successor to the bicycle" When ask
ed to explain so positive a statement
he said: There never can be less

greater skill that will answer the pur-
pose of human locomotion with greater
ease and pleasure, or at a less original
cost and less current expense to the

Missouri Woman the Only Boat Agent
In the Unitsd States

Missouri Woman the Only Boat Agent
In the Unitsd States
At La Grange, Mo-, an important
landing for steamboats, or tie Missis-
sippi river, Miss Lena Bohon is the
duly accredited agent of q packet COM
paHy and discharges all the duties OF
the Office to the satisfaction of all con
cerned. She enjoys the unique distinc-
ton OF being the only member of her
sex to I'LL such a position, either in
this or any other country, and Is
proud of the fact 1t is only recently
that it has been possible for a woman
to successfully discharge the d. ties of
such an office. Years ago tbs steam
boat agent was man. He had to be.
because he had to hustle aboard ar
irving steamers and then hustle on as
the gangplank was being hauled in
Then he had frequently to mingle with
stabouts- But there are not az
many steamboats, now as there used to
be, and the business isn't done in the
same way. This may, IN part, account
for Miss Lena Bohon's position. She
was appointed in 1898, after the death
Of her father, who had been the agent
of the Diamond Joe line for forty
years. She is now agent for five
steamers plying between ST. Louis and
St Paul and two between Keekuk and
Quincy. Miss Bohon has no assistant.
She is always ready for duty at the
old fashioned wharf house. WheD
steamboats, at night announce theif
approach Miss Bohon, who i|es with
her mother, five blocks away, hastily
dresses, picks up her lantern and hur-
ries to the landing place. If she de-
sires the steamer to stop she flashes
her lantern in a certain way. Officials
of the packet companies aver that she
is one of the most faithful, accurate
and capable agents in their employ.
She sells tickets, makes out freight
bills and receipts, collects weekly ac-
counts with the merchants and other
shippers and checks off every bale
OF hay, bushel of wheat or tub of but
ter that goes on board a boat. She
oversees personally the receiving and
dischargtng of freight. At the age of
Is the affairs of the Office could be safe
ly intrusted to her care during a
short absence of her father. She grew
up in the atmosphere of this active
life and her desire to continue in it,

Swiss Fruit Industry.

The year 1900 was an excellent year
for fruit in Switzerland. and a manu-
featuring firm in the canton of Aagua
decided to erect plant for utilizing
the apple crop. Machinery was put
in for peeling, coring and slicing ap-
pies. The baking was accomplished
by placing the slices on trays which
were something like gridirons, one
being placed over another in the ovens.
An electric motor was used to warm
the air for the baking

A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields of Wheat In Which the Shocks
Were So Thick 1t Was Almost Inn
possible to Drive Between
Then.

To the Editor: A gentleman from
Duluth made a trip through a portion
of Western Canada last summer and
writing of what he saw, says:
Wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. l saw shocks so thick in the
field that it would be almost impossi-
Bile to drive between them. Winters,
it is said are longer than near Du-
1uth, but the Japan current, warm
chinook winds and dry atmosphere
make the winters comparatively mild -
Thousands of such testimonials are
to be had from settlers who have taken
advantage of the low-priced lands of
Western Canada. During the present
year new districts will be opened up
in the Saskatchewan valley and ad-
vantage should be taken of this at
once. Information can be had from
any agent of the government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
your columns. Yours truly,
