morphine nor opium as they made me worse.
So got to thinking about DR.. Miles Heart
Cure and Nervine and the more thought
about it the more | wanted to try them. I
wrote to the DIR. Miles Medical Co. for ad-
vice which l followed to the letter. l can
say today that am glad did as am well

Hicks Predicts Lively Storms in
July but not Dangerous.

Ac cording to Weather Prophet Hicks
July will have some lively storms, but
it is not likely they Will prove danger
Gus. A storm period extends from the
18th to the 11th, being central on the 9th.
Storm clouds during this period are apt
to be black and threatening and if the
barometer is much below nominal, VIC
lent winds are probable.
Heavy local rains will be natural but
there will be no general soaking rains
Following this, the weather will turn
cooler with westerly winds.
A reactionary storm period will occur
on the 18th and 10Th, which will bring a
great deal of lightning, and buster but
little rain. This will ebe followed by
18th. The fourth regular storm period
falls on the 18th and continues to the
9th, being central on the Goth. AS this
is the beginning of the Mars period,
and it is the general rule that the
weather prevailing at the beginning
Of this period will continue to the end,
the above dates will forshadow the gen
eral character Of the weather during
the balance of the month";
Some quite heavy storms may be cx-
pccted about the 24th, but they will be
purely local.
The reactionary storm period is due
from the 18th to 9th, and will be
warmer with wicked storms of wind and
lightning, accompanied by light rains
cooler weather will follow, and the
month will end with the first stages Of a
regular storm period forming in western
sections.

Mt. Ayr Record Retracts.

The Record made very grevious
error last week in our mention of Rev.
A. II. Hatch who held meetings in the
public park in this city. We had no in
tentlon OF doing an innocent party a
serious injury, and it was simply u case
OF getting hold of the wong man. We
learn since from Leon people that Mr..
Hatch was not the minister in question.
OF which mention was made last week.
However, last winter blind minister
from Lincville or some other point, Wis
tied Decatur county and his actions
were not such as could be approved by
the moral element of the community,
the Leon papers had good deal to say
about the minister going wrong. 1t
was currently reported about Mt Ayr
that Mr.. Hatch was the same man, and
consequently our reporter fell into the
error.
Administer who sails under false col
ors is entitled to eXccration, but Bro
Hatch does not belong to this class OF
ministers. From various sources we
learn that he is highly respected in
Leon where he makes his home, and
earnestly strives to lead mon and
women to live better lives. The
Record very much deplores placing Mr.
Hatch in the wrong light and hastens
to correct the injustice done him, and
his work as minister of the gospel

A srRANaE VERDICT.

There was naturally a great deal of talk when street-car ran into the Presi- dents carriage and great deal of it was, not to put too fine a point on it, utterly idiotic. There were newspapers which would be satisfied with nothing less than the conviction of the motorman. Madden, on the charge of murder, and if some of the Presidents. over-zealous friends had lynched the unfortunate man we arc not sure that the average Republican organs would have ruptured any blood vessels over the act.
 We'll, after months of waiting, and after angry passions had cooled down, the off, lending motorman was tried and gets six months in jail and a fine of $500 the crime being put at manslaughter. Is not that a tiavesty on justice, or a miscarriage of justice? He was charged by nearly all the newspapers with deliberately running his car into the Presidents carriage, kill ing one man and endangering the lives of others. If he did that he was guilty of murder and should have been punished accordingly If, on the other hand, the n.otorman was poweriess to prevent the accident, and the blame was on the driver of the Presidents carriage, Madden should have been acquitted.
 There are not wanting those who insist that the verdict was sort of sop to Cerberus." In other words. it is charged that as the President's life was endan- gered and 1t would be indirectly blaming him if the blame was put on his driver, the jury made a concession to public opinion and punished the man who, whether intentionally or not, put in jeop- ardy the life of the Chief Executive of the Union. If this is true, it is shame 'fffI peffornaance
