IN WAR TIMES
The Story Of Man Who Helped
Make History.

From the beginning to the end of the
Civil war none fought more valliantly
than the famous Seventeenth Indiana
volunteers. The story of their battles,
their privations and their victories is a
long but interesting one.
In company B, of this regiment, was
Eli Fisher, now a resident of Jet,
Woods Co., Okla, who has fund of en-
tertaining "reminiscences Of his expe-
periences in bivouac and battle. Toa re-
porter the other day he related the fol-
lowing:
SIN 1884," he said, "while serving
with my company, began to suffer
with various complaints brought on by
hardship and exposure. I had hem
orrhages of the kidneys, palpitation of
the heart and at times would bloat from
stomach trouble. My lungs were also
affected. From my suffering and mis-
cry I became nervous and my nerves
finally went all to pieces.
"I became forgetful and distracted in
mind and it seemed that there could be
nothing which would bring me relief.
I was treated in Atlanta, Ga, by the
regimental doctor but did not get any
better. In 1865 was mustered out and
then tried other doctors. At various
times five different physicians treated
me and took many kinds of medicine
but nothing did me any good. From
1887 until 1890 was confined to my bed
most of the time and my case seemed
i hopeless.
"But in 1890 I read in newspaper
of how an Iowa man, suffering from the
same illness in general as I had, was
cured by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. decided to see what they
would do for me and began taking them.
used three boxes of the pills before ex-
periencing relief, but after that my re-
covery was rapid. In two months felt
like new man both in body and mind.
I took them for four months and was
perfectly cured.
"I have recommended DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People many times.
I do SO, because know from personal
experience that they have wonderful
power to relieve and cure the SICK"
The pills which cured Mr.. Fisher have
accomplished hundreds of equally re.
markable cures. They are on sale at al
drug stores or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents box; six boxes
| for 81. so, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, n. Y.

HALLOWEEN MISCHIEF.
Less Than Usual, But Still Too
Ich

uCtts
There was less Hallowe en- mischief
done last Friday night than for years,
probably on account of the extra po-
lice precautions taken. Officer Bienapf
took Eve young men to the police sta
ton, whom he found running a
wagon away on Plum street, but they
were allowed to go on their promise to
refrain from further disorderly acts.
The greatest amount of damage was
done on the outskirts of the city,
where the extra police protection was
not extended. In Ogle & Davis addi-
tion outhouses were overturned. and
a swing in j. B. Ogles yard was
broken. Railings were torn up along
the walk across the slough and else
where in the city, and in some places
planks were torn from sidewalks. All
this was without excuse, and
the perpetrators ought to be pun
ished, as we'll as the theft of a
leaf from Geo. W. Turrittin's buggy
spring. Why destructive acts should
be committed by boys is beyond guess
ing, when there are such an array of
harmless things that could be done,
and which would cause mirth rather
than resentment upon discovery.
A good many merchants fonnd
their front store windows marked up
with soap this morning, but the use
of a scru bling brush made the win
dows look brighter than ever.

DOUBLE TRACK TO TWINS
What Is Contemplated BY the Omaha
Road.


The Sioux City Journal says that
the first step of the Omaha railroad
company toward the building of a
doable track between Sioux City and
the twin cities is being taken in Sioux
City. Starting at Third street where
the Omaha makes connection with the
Northwestern, the Omaha will build a
double track for two miles toward
LeMars, paralleling the Illinois Cen
trail to a point above SpringGale. An
official of the company, when asked if
it were true that the Omaha would
build it's own line to LeMars next
year and perhaps do some additional
double tracking, said the indications
pointed in that direction.

CARL KUGATH'S TRIAL.
No Evidence That He Premeditated
Bishman's Killing.

The case of Carl Kugath, father of
Fred, found guilty Thursday of man
slaughter in the first degree, was
commenced at 9 O'Clock at Waseca. A
complete jury was secured before the
noon adjournment and the afternoon
session was consumed in the direct
and cross examination on Drs Cum
mings and Blanchard, who described
the wounds of Bishman.
Martin Severson section foreman
in this city, testified that he had been
invited to the wedding some two
weeks before it occurred and was told
at the time by Carl Kugath that he
had better come if he was fighting
man, as there would probably be
trouble
The defense attacked Severson' 8
credibility as witness and showed
that he himself in 1890 was indicted
in the district court IN this county for
assault In the second degree.
Aside from Severson 8 testimony the
state has no evidence of premediation
against Carl Kugath and no satisfac-
tory testimony as to motive, and it is
thought he will be found guilty of a
less offense than manslaughter in the
first degree, if found guilty at all.
Bahr's trial will De commenced at
the conclusion of the present trial,
and it is thought that the strongest
case will be made against him, there
being considerable evidence to corrob-
borate the testimony of the Kugaths
that Bahr was the man who did the
fighting and who stuck the fatal blow.

Country Life in America: Under
gray skies and gowned in neutral
brown, enters November. Frost
waites upon her and strews her
path with memories OF sammer
days. The bugle of the north wind
proclaimes her coming. A brooding
silence reigns in the thickots where
the mighty feathere<l chorus poured
forth a welcome to her sister months.
Gone are the towers save that in
some sheltered retreat still fingers
the blossoms of the skies, the beauti-
full fringed gentsin, or mayhap
a sunflower or late golden rod
lends Of it's gold yet little awhile.
But from stark bare three tops
comes the bark Of squirrels fat with
much feeding and it is answered by
merry shouts of nut gatherers gleam
among the thickly st1ewn brown
leaves. The bonk of the wild goose
fioates ea1thwards from the clouds.
In the marshes and edges along the
rivers edge the muskrat puts the
finishing touches on his domicile
of rtlshes aud mud against the bitter
ness of midwinter. The blue jay
becomes silent, stealing guilty
about the bursting corn crib.
Through the open barn doors is
caught the CLEAN Of yellow pump
kins and Muashes, with all their
Possibilities of jaek-o-lantern' and
luscious golden pies. From the cellar
bulkheaAs rises the fragrance Of
fruit. The gobble OF the
turkey has in it the perfect content
mept of desires fulfilled. and the
shadow of sacrifice las not yet fallen
over the poultry yard. The spirit
of Thanksgiving is abroad over tho
land aud November, in sober gray
and brown, wakes hand in hand
