A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against hot stove
which burned him severely. The child
was in great agony and his mother
could do nothing to pacify him. Re
membering that she had a bottle Of
Chamberlain Pain Balm in the horse,
she thought she would try it. In less
than half an hour after applying it
the child was quiet and asleep, and in
less than two weeks was well. Mrs.
Benson is we'll known resident of
kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an antisep-
tic liniment, and especially valuable
for burns, cuts, bruises and sprains.

Fremont Man Expires Sometime
During the Night.

Fremont, Nov. 10.-Ed Harper, a
man between fifty and sixty years Of
age was found dead in his bed early
this morning at his boarding place,
the residence of Henry McMickle.
Death was most likely caused by heart
trouble. The man had been complain
ing for several weeks and had been
under the care Of local physician for
the trouble for some time.
Harper came to Fremont about a
year ago from Halifax, Indiana, where
it is said that he has some relatives
residing. He has been employed con-
stantly at the tile works of John Daw-
son G. Co. and has been looked upon
as hard working, Industrious fellow
who knew his business thoroughly.
He did not respond to call for
breakfast some time before seven
o'clock this morning and as repeated
calls failed to arouse him a member
of the McMickle family entered the
room and found the man lying in bed
and quite dead. A doctor was immedi-
ately summoned but the man had been
Foehlinger of Oskaloosa was notified
and came to the city on the first train
to make an investigation of the case.
Deceased was a single man and has no
| relatives in this part of the country.
The deceased is said to have been
drinking more or less for the past two
weeks and it is thought that this may
have aggravated his heart trouble and
resulted in death.
| The disposition of the remains has
not been arranged for as yet.
Coroner Chas. Foehlinger, of Oska-
loosa, arrived and made an investiga-
ton. The body was reviewed and ex.
amined and the effects of the deceased
were investigated. Ten empty TASKS
that had formerly contained whiskey
were found in the room of the deceas-
ed and four empty lemon extract bot
ties that had contained eight ounces
of the fluid. O9e-half pint bottle of
lemon extract was found in bed at the
side of the man. 49,.
He was last seen alive at about 8
o'clock in the evening. He came out
OF his room and asked one of the in
mates Of the house for his knife say
ing that the doctor had given him
some medicine and he wished to get
the cork out. 1t is supposed that he
removed the cork of the extract bot
tie with the knife at this time and
drank the contents in bed.
Harper had been sober during the
entire time that he had been in the
employee Of the tile company to with
in q few weeks ago. He went away
from the city on business trip and
was upon quite a spree. He has been
drinking more or less since that time.
A telegram was sent to sister
who lives in Halifax, Indiana, asking
for directions in caring for the re-
mains.
The cause of death being so evident
and there being no hint of POSSIBLE
ity of suicide or any other cause of
death the coroner did not deem an in
quest necessary in the case.

No Place TO Vote.

Harvey News: The inconvenience
OF new town was experienced by the
Harvey voters on election day. No
arrangements had been looked after
for voting precinct IL this place and
our voters were compelled to go about
four miles to school house ABOUT a
quarter of mile west of Durham to
vote. Although four teams were run
between Harvey and the polls, it is
thought that not more than one-half
of the voters cast their ballot on cleo

weather" excuse.
1t is understood that the matter was
brought to the attention Of the editor
of the Sun and that the reporter was
given another seance under the "car-
pet"
The matter was considered so ridic-
ulous by other Washington papers that
no denial was made; in fact the story
was not referred to by the local pa
pers in any way. However, the orig
inal alleged interview was telegraphed
all over the country and in the alb.
sence of contradictions was assumed
to be true. The inquiries by mail and
otherwise became so numerous that it
was deemed wise to issue statement
finally disposing of the matter and
this was done.
