AGITATION FOR DIsPENsARY.
Claimed That Whiskey is Being Ship
 ped to Evergreen.

Evergreen. Feb. 2o.-(Speciai.)-Th question of dispensary or no dispensary is now agitating the people of this com munity The argument of those favoring the scheme is that whiskey is being brought here by the express companies the town derives no revenue from it. while. if the sale were legalized, it woul1 have enough money to pay teachers meet interest coupons as they fall due and put the streets in good condition. It Is be- lieved. however. that whiskey will never again be sold in Evergreen by the con- sent of a majority of the voters.

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Makes Nerve Fibre and Nerve Force, cleanses the Blood and Strengthens and Gives Tone to Ev- cry Function of the Body.

sAs medicine for doing immediate and effective work in sickness 'fesulting from impaired nerves and impure blood my family considers your Paine's Celery Compound without peer" Tt strengthens, and gives tone, ts the sys- tsn." Tt has saved many a doctors bill."
 So writes J. ]. Depahue. Chief of Police of Omaha, to the proprietors of this never-failing remedy. Paine's Celery Compound makes nerve fibre and nerve force, and imparts true health to body and brain. It is the only known positive cure for nervous pfostration, resulting from business responsibilities. irregular habits and ovefwafk,
 Panies Celery Compound is the one great remedy for dyspepsia and weak nerves. Dyspepsia is caused by acute inflammation of the nerves centred about the stomach. Palpitation of the heart. diszinsss. cardialgia and disteption of the stomach are common in dyspepsia. Languor and irresistible drowsiness are certain symptoms
 Paines Celery Compound keeps the muscular walls of the stomach in vigor- ous action until the process of digestion is made complete It restores energy. gives renewed visor to ell affected parts cheeks dizziness and allays heartburn. It is safe and reliable cure for nervous dyspepsta,
 Faines Celery Compound will build up weakened and innamed nerves, keep the stomach. liver and kidneys in healthy action. and make mind and bods healthy. It ts the greatest reconstructantl of the nervous system known to medical science. It permaientiy cures nervous exhaustion.

 If you have the first symptoms of fall ing health. If you are conscious that something is wrong. that you lack strength, if the buoyant feeling of per- feet health does not return after each nights sleep. 1t is time to give the nerves and blood the food that Nature requires.

 The ministerial trust Is a strong organi- zation, having for its members all the Protestant clergymen of the city. They hold their meetings weekly. Not long ago their influence was so strong that they succeeded in having all stores in the city closed all day Sunday. as the habit had been for all merchants to open their places of business few hours each Sun day morning at the time when they should be at the house of worship.

TRUST IN NUPTIALS
KANKAKEE MINISTERS UNITE TO FIX RATES FOR WEDDINGS
Five Dollars Will Be the Lowest Fee. Reasons Given For the Stand
 Taken by Clergymen-often
 Called Upon to Expend More Money Than They Receive.

Kankakee. Ill.,. Special to Chicago : Chronicle.
 The reverend members of the Ministe- rial Alliance of Kankakee have formed a trust in which they will do away with what little Competition has heretofore ex- isted in certain branch of their calling
 Hereafterit will cost all men who desire to take on ,the bonds of matrimony not less than $. but for a more pretentious affair the clergymen will not refuse a more liberal reimbursement for their
 work,
 This action was taken by a majority or the ministers at recent conference and was the result of their experience in the ministerial business. The trust has not been formed to discourage those who are anticipating the holy bonds nor has 1t been formed to raise the price in this particular line, but merely, as they state. "to protect themselves from being imposed upon by the young men who call them into the country. necessitating the expense of several dollars for a livery rig. marrying the couple and receiving for their services the paltry sum of sl" This is more of sacrifice than a Kanka- kee clerymap can stand.
 The ministers most prominent in the conference were Rev. w. R. Andereek of the First Baptist Church. Rev. A. NJ Ayers of the First Presbyterian Church, Rev. D. s. Phillips of the Episcopal Church and Rev, H. D. Clark of the Methodist Church.
 One of these reverend gentlemen tells of an experience A couple came to his hOues at 6 o'clock in the rSorning and asked to be married They were invited in and pronounced husband and wife by the quick method. as 1t was before break fast. At the conclusion of the ceremony the groom handed the man of God 50 cents. which the minister graciously ac- cepted. The couple took their seats and talked in manner peculiar to newly married couple for half an hour. when
 the appetite of the minister got the best of him and he asked them to breakfas st. At the conclusion of the meal the groom called the preacher to ono side and asked him If he could lend him half a dollar. as he needed 1t for their dinner, The i preacher pulled out the money and the couple departed happy. This. with many 'ther similar experiences. Is the cause of the ministers forming their trust. Ban on Divorced People. x Not long ago this same ministerial trust igreed to put ban on marrying divorc- d people II has long been the custom IT Rev. MT. Phillips of the Episcopal church, the dean of the ministers of the clty to refuse to accommodate these people and 1t was his Influence which brought this action about. Rev. II. D.

BIRDS ARE GOOD SURGEONS.

Many Feathered Creatures Have a
 Knowledge of Its Principles. .
 Naturalists are we'll aware of the fact that considerable number of the bird creation possess a knowledge of the prin- ciples of surgery that is not far from supernatural. The manner in which they endeavor to aid nature is very interest ing. The woodcock and the partridge, for instance, are able to dress their wounds with considerable skill A famous nat uralist says that on several occasions he has killed woodcock that were. when shot convalescing from wounds previously re- ceived.
 In every instance he had the old in- jury neatly dressed with down plucked from the stems of feathers and 'skiifully the long beak of the bird. In some in- stances a solid plaster was thuso formed and in others lgatures had been applied to wounded or broken limbs. One day he killed bird that evidently had been se- yerely wounded at some recent. period. The wound was covered and protected by a sort of network of feathers which had been pucked by the bird from it's own body and so arranged as to form a plast- CT completely. covering and protecting the
 It had evidently acted as hemostatic in the first place and subsequently as a shield covering the wound. The feathers were fairly n.tted together. passing all ternately under and above each other and forming a textile fabric of great protec-' tive power. Birds are often found whose limbs have been shot. with the fractured ends neatly joined and ligated.
 NJ Dumonteil tells of a woodcock that had been shot by sportsman on the af- ternoon of certain day. After q long search the bird was giver up. but It was discovered the next morning by accident. In the meantime the wounded legs were found to be neatly ligated. an exquisite ly neat bandage having been plqced around each limb The poor bird, how ever, had in dressing its wound entangied its beak wfVh some long. soft feather- and had 1t not been discovered 1t would have died of starvation.

 The remarkable increase in the demand for Painc's Celery Compound in the last few years is due to the one fact that every person who has ever tried a single bottle of this greatest of restoratives has found that the remedy accomplishes what no other remedy does. It accomplishes all that is claimed for it. A sample trial will convince the reader.
