Obituary-E. W. Rice.

Died on the morning Of February
End, at $50 a. m. of apoplexy. at his
home in the Patch Grove hotel, Ezra
W Rice, in his 85th year.
Mr.. Rice was born near Lebanon,
Madison county. N. Y, April 14th,
1917. The family from which he
was descendant emigrated from
England previous to the revolution
and settled in New Hampshire. His
ancestors took part in the struggle
for independence. In the war of
1912 his maternal grandfather and
four uncles volun teered for the de-
Tense of Black Rock, N. Y, in and
around which ragged fierce conflict.
His early years were spent in the
state of his nativity where he lost
his mother. The family consisted of
seven sons and two daughters.
His father moved his family to
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana fin
ally, where he hoped to remain, but
met a sudden death by being thrown
from young horse.
Five Of the brothers and the two
sisters came to Crawford county,
Wis, in 1912; soon after, Mary the
eldest sister, became the wife of Jared
Garner, the pioneer lumber man Of
Millville and here E. w. Rice settled
and engaged in the same business in
the employ of his brother-in-law.
November IA, 1915, he was united
in marriage with Maria Bidwell of
Patch Grove, where they had made
their home with two short intervals
of residence in Millville, and Sibley,
Iowa. Of his family of two sons and
two daughters, only the youngest
son, Arthur A., of Clear Lake, Ia.
survives him. His strongest desire
was to end his days in the place
where his family had been with him
in their early years, in the town that
by his industry he had helped to
build.
Many traveller will remember the
quiet old gentleman who ministered
to their wants in the old hotel for
over quarter of century.
In politics Mr.. Rice had been a Re-
publican since the formation of that
party. His first vote was cast for
VIM. II. Harrison, his last for VIM.
Mckinley. In the matter Of religion
he might be termed liberal believer;
his standard Of morals made him
honest, truthful, faithful, peaceful, a
man Of strict integrity, willing to
discharge, all duties as they came to
him with untiring patience and fidel-
ity, to friends, family or country.
His life aas been a spotless one, spent
in industry, honor and peace. His
invalid, crippled wife, who survives,
has been for long years constant
charge; his care for her was tender
and patient Till the day the final sum
mons came and called him to rest.
His was a character worthy OF emula-
ton.

HINDOO TWINS CUT APART
Final Result of the Operation, Done at
Paris, Sill Doubtful.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Hindoo twins,
Radica and Dorina, who were united
ia q manner similar to the Siamese
twins were separated yesterday after
noon by DR.. DOyen. The operation
was entirely successful, but owing to
the weak condition Of the patients, due
to the illness OF one of the twins. the
final sesult Of the operation is still
doubtful.
The Figaro publishes an interview
with DR.. DOyen, who, after explaining
that the operation was undertaken un-
der exceptionally unfavorably circum-
stances, as both the twins were at
tackled with tuberculosis and almost
dying, describes the operation which
was performed under anaeSthetics
The membrane was composed Of
stretched tissues which soon contract
ed. 1t contained three large arteries
That the)patients are still alive, says
Dr. DOyen, is due to the rapidity Of
the operation and the method employ
ed, which enabled him to avoid any
loss of blood.

f. McKinne, of Princeton, and James w.
Thompson, of this county The report
OF the superintendent was read and its
several recommendations approved. This
report was comprehensive in detail, Civ
ing the directors every possible informa-
ton, and showed the institution to be
excellently we'll administered.
Among other things the report showed
that on the 30th day of November being
the close of the last fiscal year, there
We're 4S1 patients on the roll. The per-
centage of course. was a fraction over
al. and the percentage of deaths was q
little ever 5. This is, indeed wonder
full, and speaks volumes for a delightful
cure and professional efficiency of Dr.
utley and his competent corps of assist
ants.
The board unanimously recommend to
the next Legislature an annual appro-
priatiOn of $50 000--for maintenance and
repairs, and 1000 as a special appro-
priation for the following purposes. viz.
for extension of the spur from the North
Carolina railroad to tie boiler house,
the erection of two small buildings for
the isolation and treatment of tubercul-
GUS patients. the erection of a cold
storage plant, and for enlargement of
the kitchen.
The board expressed themselves as
much gratifed at the result of the work
accomplished in a professional way. and
also in the business management of the
superintendent
DIR. w. w. Faison was reelected first
assistant physician, and DR.. Clara f.
Jones, second assistant, for the next
two years. Saptain Daniel Reid will
continue another year as steward, and

administered, but every detail for inn

roundings. and the betterment of it's fine
farm lands is as studiously and inteIli-
gently supervised, so that the critical eve

DEARING DOWN PAINS affect
D a woman in every part Of her
body. The worry and excite
ment, the nervous tension and the
morbid apprehension make the body
an easy prey for the inroads of
disease.
If sharp cutting pains catch you
in the back and across the abdomen
you need to take Wine of Cardui,
as she did. The pain is sharp and
unbearable because the trouble has
run too long and Nature is taking
this method to call for necessary re-
lief. The pain is causing nervousness
and will soon make you chronic in
valid. But Wine of Cardui is a sure
remedy for the pains and drains of

Wine regulates the menstrual flow
and imparts strength and health to
the diseased organs Wine of Car
dui has no equal in regulating the
menses and building up the weak
ened organs. Thousands of women
have tried it and are cured. Doctors
prescribe it and recommend it to
their patients. Very frequently the
irritation indirectly causes constipa-
ton and irregularity of the bowels
and perfect relief can be secured by
taking Thedford's Black-Draught,
the companion medicine of Wine of
Cardui. Druggists sell Wine of Car

Railroad Earnings for the Month OF Nov
Exceed the Same Month Last Year
Seven Per Cent.
lBy the Associated Press.l

New York, Dec. 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say;
Lower temperature and holiday de-
mands have combined to accelerate re-
tail trade sales largely exceeding the
corresponding week in preceding years.
Much postponed business is being made
up, and shipping departments are crowd
ed with work, but wholesale trade has
ruled quiet. Railroad earnings for the
month of November exceeded last years
by 10 per cent. and those of 1900 by
20.3 per cent.
at first glance the sudden rise in
furnace stocks of pig-iron to "a ,29j tons,
compared with 71.S5S on November !,
might suggest that consumption was be-
low production, but obviously any ac-
emulation that occurs is due to made
quate transporting facilities, since needs
are urgent, as evidenced by the i'm
ports of Eastern steel works.
Conditions are practically unchanged
as to cotton goods, fair volume of or
