ANOTHER PTOMAlNE CASE.
Auditor TOmpkins Has a Narrow Escape
From Death as the Result Of
PtOmaine Poisoning.
Two Other Members Of His Family Affect
ed -Ptomaine Came From
Eating Oysters.

County Auditor l. n. Tompklns
had a narrow escape from death
last Friday night. Ptomaine pois-
oning, brought on as the result OF
eating oysters that we're apparently
sged. but purchased short time
before the supper hour that night,
and eaten at supper, was the cause
of Mr.. Tompkins almost fatal ill
ness. Miss Emogene Conner, a
sister of Mrs. Tompkins, and a mem
Der Of his family, was also. seriously
affected for short time. while Miss
Bessie Tompkins; the oldest daugh-
ter, slightly affected.
Mr.. Tompkins purchased the
oysters at one of the stores in this
city shortly after five O'Clock that
evening. He went directly home
with them and they we're served to
the family as stew, and were par
taken of heartily by Mr.. Tompkins,
who, with his force, are working
unusually hard at the present time,
on account of the rush work in that
office. After supper Mr., Tompkins
returned to his Office and worked
until about 9:30 o'clock, when he
left for home. Shortly after arriv-
ing there a fever commenced to
make its appearance, and he drank
some water. The ptomaine COM
menced effective work shortly after
this and at II O'Clock DR.. Schlegel
was summoned. Various antidotes
were administered to force vomit-
ing spell, withouteffect, when other
santidotes were used to kill the
effects of ptomaine. At twelve
o clock the condition of the patient
was most critical, but he commenced
tc rally after that hour and at two
Q clock he was pronounced out Of
danger, although very weak. Sat-
urday morning he was so weak that
it was impossible for him. to go to
the office for work, although his
physician thought that he would be
out Sunday, and in condition to
leave for ST. Paul to attend the audi
tor S association on Tuesday.
The ptomaine did not affect Miss
Conner until several minutes after
it commenced to affect Mr.. Tomp-
kins, and it's affect was quickly
killed. Miss Bessie Tompkins was

SUCCESS IN FARMING.
Is Conducted and How Small
Things Are Done.

Success in farming depends on the
way the business is conducted, and
on how well the small things are
done. One of the principal causes of
failure in farming is going on in a
haphaZard kind of way, paying no at
tentiOn to the small things and keep
ing no accounts of the outgO or in
come. The few shingles that are off
the barn don't interfere any, only
when it rains, and rainy days are the
only times they have to do these odd
jobs, being so busy other times with
big jobs. There may be a weak place
in the barn floor and some day an
animal will step through. It's only
short piece of work to repair it
and will be attended to some day,
but that day never comes.
If one is to make a success at farm
ing he must pay strict attention to
all these odd jobs. He cannot be an
agent for everything that comes
along, go with a threshing machine
all the fall or draw all the milk to
the creamery for his neighbors. If
practicable for best results, he must
have his blowing done in the fall for
spring crops; never keep two hired
men when only one is needed.
great many farmers keep one hired
man the year round, when his serv-
ices five or six months would be all
that is necessary. The manner IN
which the implements are used on
some farms bring a great loss to
the owner. They should be care
fully sheltered at all times when not
in use, and given a coat of paint
when required. Keep posted on the
markets of the future and sell ac-
cordingly.
In growing crops aim to raise what
the markets demand. All markets
are not alike and a close observation
of the demands of the customer, as
well as the seasons when certain
kinds of farm produce is preferred
will give the farmer an advantage
which will enable him to secure bet
ter prices. Remember, it is the buyer
who is to be satisfied. If in market
ing poultry the consumer prefers
fowls with yellow legs, it is to the
producers interest to grow such. The
best breed for his purpose is that
which he finds will give the buyer
the greatest satisfaction, and what
is true of poultry also is true of a
great many other products of the
farm. - V. NJ. Couch, in Farmers
Voice.

Uses Pe-ru-na
For Colds
A Letter From the Executive Office of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
in the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher--all agree that Pc
ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rOstrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise
and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out
of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures
catarrh, but prevents. Every house
hold should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-
