GENEROUS cARBoNDALE.
Citizens of the Town Donate to Benefit
of Injured Girl.

Carbonate, Feb. 17.-An entertain
ment was given in Sutherland hall last
Friday evening for the benefit of Miss
Emma Pinkerneil the girl who strayed
and was found next day north of town,
lying in the snow and nearly frozen to
death; an account of which was pub
liShed in the State Journal at the time.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of the talented young peo-
pie of this city, and those who took
part are entitled to great credit for the
splendid success attending their eff
forts.
A fine programme, consisting of vocal
and instrumental music, readings, dec
lanations, recitations, etc, was we'll
rendered and we'll received, the large
audience evideneing appreciation in
rounds of applause.
The K. of p. brass band and Lewis
orchestra interSpersed the programme
with several delightful musical selec-
lions.
The hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity, many of those in attendance
being unable to secure seats.
The net receipts for the evening
amounted to $3745, which, added to a
sum contributed heretofore by generous
and sympathetic people of the town,
made a neat little purse of $3.50, all of
which was deposited in the Carbonate
bank to the credit of Miss Pinkerneil
The beneficiary has been confined to
her bed since the occurrence of her I'M
fortunate mishap, and it will be some
time yet before she can walk with any
degree of comfort.
She has lost all the toes of both feet
life.
Miss PinkerneI is an orphan girl, 10
years old, and lives with her married
sister Mrs. Walter Platt.

Says the Lord Healed Her.

On January 20 one of the most re-
markable incidents occurred in our city
of which we have any record. 1t was
the day Miss Hattie Olds, whose par
ents reside on Jackson street, between
Seventh and Eighth, was healed-en-
abling her to see and have the use of
her limbs, which she has been deprived
of for four years. Miss Odds spine was
injured by a team running away with
her in Oklahoma about four years ago,
since which she has not been able to
see nor use her limbs to any advantage.
She also had fainting spells and it was
just as she had recovered from one of
these frances that she regained her eye
sight and use of her body and gave her
Savior full credit for healing her. She
can now see and walk almost as well as
anyone.

STANDING UP FOR M'FARLAND
Citizens of the Town Resent Adverse
Outside Criticism.
McFarland. Kas.. Feb. n.

Mcfarland, KaS., Feb. II.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
We think Victor Murdoch rather
overreached himself in trying to be
cute" when he wrote up Mcfarland.
While we make no claim to having a
metropolitan city, we have a clean
little village of $50 inhabitants, and 40
trains per day. not including extras. if
you please Gnstead of 'six'O. The red
restaurant" which Mr.. Murdoch men
tions is the finest eating house in the
Rock Island system, and probably feeds
more people than all the hotels in Wich-
tia combined.
The dining room is especially attrac-
tive, having been decorated by an eX-
pert designer from Chicago. Two other
hotels do a good business also. MoTe
new houses were built here last year
than in any neighboring town. Many
men from nearby villages found EN- =
ployment here the entire summer. Sixty
persons in our town take daily news

The citizens think had the editor been
altogether kind to his Mcfarland pa
irons he would not have found space
for any such silly fabrication.

CATARR

Catarrh has become such common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. 1t is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated. and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood IS quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation IS carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they do
not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S.

and eliminates from the system all catar-
