Big Thing for Dyer, Lake and Obion

The $4,000 that Congressman
Rice A. Pierce has secured for the
Lake County levee will be of i'm
mense benefit to Dyer, Lake and
Obion counties. When that levee
is built, thousands of acres of Dyer
County laud, fertile as that of the
valley OF the Nile, will be reclaimed,
while it's value will be increased
millions of dollars-and Obion and
Lake counties will be benefited in
like ratio. The Ninth district
has an active, working, influential
Congressman, whose great useful
ness is just getting ripe enough to
bear a golden frultage to his con-
stltuents. And that's why we are
all for Rice Pierce, the old flag and
appropriations. Through his work
the Forked Deer is to be surveyed
and then later on our river will be
locked and damned. Meals State

The Nebraska Indians played
ball with the Martin team last Sat
urday. From what we are told the
score was II to in favor of the In
dams, but they could have made it
most any number they wanted 1t
is said the game was witnessed by
about 1,50O people, and the antics
of the Indians, who we're IN their
native costumes, were very anus
ing. They struck right and left
handed and pitched the same way,
and the game was strictly one
sided affair.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. oc tors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nerV-
GUS and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and 9TH
er aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

Strange Case of Kidnapping In an
Ohio Town.
MOTHER DIED BROKEN HEART

Mt. Gilead, Ohio, Feb. 25-A
strange case of kidnapping came
to light here today When Nina
Bruce was but four years old she
was stolen by band of Gypsies
and taken to Texas Although her
parents tried every way in the
world to locate her, their attempt
was unsuccessful. Finally Mrs.
Bruce died of broken henrt
The father remained at home
alone for years, but concluded in
his lonliness to seek a wife. He
advertised for a helpmate about
30 to 40 years of age. In reply to
his advertisement he received Il
letter from Miss M T.. France,
the name which had been given
her by the gypsies. The cores
pondence resulted in an agree
ment and Mr.. Bruce sent the
money for the lady to pay her car
fare to his Ohio home. On arrival
here he noticed likeness between
Miss France and his former wife
In relating her experience Miss
France said all she knew about her
former parents was the picture OF
her mother in an old locket which
she had on when she WAS taken
away. This she produced and Mr..
Bruce at once recognized the
picture as that of his wife and the
woman that of his long lost
daughter.
Father and daughter are now at
the old homestead. .

CLEVER ROBBERY.
Lutes & Bradley Lose S73o. o5
From Safe.

The furniture store of Lutes q
Bradley WAS entered by unknown
men last night and robbed of $239
Mr.. Lutes left the store at 7:l5 and
returned about 9 O'Clock and the
deed was ommitted during these
hours. AS far as Mr.. Lutes re-
mem bers he did not lock the safe
when leaving the establishment,
expecting to return and do 30.
The perpetrators OF the crime were
evidently acquainted with the store
building as their work was indeed
very clever.
Entrance WAS effected by means
lifting the cellar door at the rear OF
the building, but to do this it was
necessary to remove Two cook
stoves which, from their appear
ance this morning, were not
handled two carefully. After
reaching the foot of the cellar
stairway they broke out the glass
door and entered the basement
which lead up to the first floor.
Besides taking the cash they
also took some insurance papers
and mortgages which they threw
away while making their retreat
from the building.
The police were notified of the
occurrence but no one has yet been
apprchended. Officer Powell found
on the desk, just over the safe, an
article which seemed to be a
charge of nitro -glycerine, and it is
evident that had they not effected
an easy entrance TO the safe they
intended blowing it open.
