Peter Miller Dead.

Friends in this city were sorrow
stricken Monday by the announce
ment of the death of Peter Miller,
one of our most prominent business
men. He had been i'll for several
weeks with typhoid fever. At times
he would be comparatively much
better and at others he would be
burning up with fever; but all hoped
and looked for his ultimate recovery.
The funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church, Thursday
morning, Sept. 10Th, Revs. Lonnquist
and Mitchell officiating. 1t was
under the direction of the M. w. A.
lodge, Of which order the deceased
had been an honored member, and the
pail bearers were chosen from their
number.
There was a protusion of floral
tributes paid his memory, which with
the large gathering of sorrowing
friends, testified more strongly than
mere words, to the high regard in
which Mr.. Miller had been held.
Peter Miller was born in Denmark,
April 10th, 1862, and died at his
home in this city Monday, Sept. I'D,
1902, in the 41st year of his age. He
located in Axtell in 1887, which has
been his home up to the time of his
death. In 1889 he was married to
Miss Minnie Eye, who with two
children, Irwin and Estella, mother
and two brothers, are left to mourn
the loss of a loving husband, father,
son and brother.
Mr.. Miller was q jovial, whole
souled man, enjoying the confidence
and esteem of all who knew him, and
it seems sad that one so young and
with such bright business future
before him should be called away in
the midst of useful life.
At the time of his death, Mr.. Mil
Ter was one of the firm of Schenck &
Miller, dealers in hardware and
drugs, and was also engaged in buy
ing stock. He also owned a great
deal of land in this vicinity.
Mr.. Miller carried 1000 insur-
ance in the M. w. A. lodge of this
city, also $4,000 in the Bankers Life.
!! To the faithful wife and children,
to the mother bereft and brothers in
their distant homes, will go out the
sympathies of a host of friends. A
good man gone.-The Axtell Stand

Stricken With Paralysis.

Henderson Grimett, of this place,
was stricken with partial paralysis and
completely lost the use of one arm and
side. After being treated by an
eminent physician for quite while
without relief, my wife recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after
using two bottles of it he is almost
entirely cured.-GEo. r. MCDONALD,
Man, Logan county, w. Va. Several
other very remarkable cures of partial
paralysis have been effected by the use
of this liniment. 1t is most widely
known, however, as a cure for rheu-
matism, sprains and bruises. Sold by
w. A. Hamler and all patent medi-
cine dealers.
