A Doctors New Beverage.

DR.. Bethel OF Manchester is quite
handy about the house but he is not
a glittering success at making coffee.
The next morning after returning
from the Abilene carnival he thought
he would let his wife sleep while he
got up and prepared breakfast. And
he succeeded fairly we'll, with every
thing but the coffee. When this
beverage was brought to the table
aud poured out it caused Mrs. Bethel
TO open her eyes IN astonishment,
and on investigation she found that
the doctor had used up all Of her
bird seed. OF coure "The Girl from
Abilene" was responsible for the
doctors mistake.

Choleric Invalid Pulled q Gun on Ben
Homer.


A man who lives alone in rooms
down town was taken seriously i'll q
couple Of days ago and some Of his
friends employed BENZ. Horner to
nurse him. The sick man is rather
crusty when be is we'll and his illness
had not improved his temper. 1t also
happens that be dislikes Ben Horner.
Horner went to the invalid's room
and informed him that he had come
to nurse him. The sick man did not
need a nurse and said be would be
hanged II he would have Horner II he
did need one. Horner insisted that
some one should be around the rooms
to keep up the fire and attend to
things in general but the other man
would have none Of it ana told him
to get out. Horner tried to argue
the matter and the invalid, reaching
under his pillow, pulled out big
gun and again requested the would
be nurse to vacate the premises.
Horner left.

master In Mr.. Warnings absence, sent
a team to Manchester for mail. He
made the trip himself as guard and
be had telegraphic information that
mail for Abilene would come that
way. What he did not get was d.
rect order from the postoflice depart
ment to spend money bringing the
mail from Manchester here. This
could not be secured because Of the
red tape involved and the lack OF
prompt telegraphic communication.
1t cost $40 to get the mail and the
bill was sent to Washington and after

down for good. Mi. Waring will

Abilene much appreciated getting
the mail, there was no doubt oi the

possibility Of getting d direct order
to spend the money. but the depart
ment said no because the order was
not secured. There is such thing |

1AE SECURITY MILLING co,
7ouR MONEY RETURNED
If Hyomei Does Not Cure You Of
Catarrh, Says J. nj. Gleissner. a'

In advertising that he will refund
the money to any one purchasing q
Hyomei outfit who can say that II has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, j. M. Gleissner means ex-
actly what the guarantee says. ~
or course the percentage Of cures
BY Hyomei is nearly one hundred or
else he could not afford to make this
unusual offer. But if the treatment
should not be adapted to your case
there will be no questions or qutb-
blings when you 60 to get your
money. ...
That the beginning Of catarrh is
due to the presence Of germs in the
air passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hyo-
mel tree tment kills the catarrh germs
even in the minutest air cells, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and makes complete and lasting
cures in cases that have resisted the
usual methods OF treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi'
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The outfit costs
but one dollar and consists Of an in
haler which will last lifetime and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottles OF
Hyomei can be procured for SOC.
J. M. Gleissner gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells to refund the money If 1t does
not cure. There is no risk whatever
to the purchaser Of Hyomei.

For some time past a few of the
mercantile clerks have been agitating
the question of forming a clerks union
but at present the interest seems to
have died out for the reason, as one
expressed himself they got cold feet.
Our informant stated that one leisure
afternoon he had secured the names of
great many clerks who would join as
charter members but that some of these
are now afraid of the cars" AS ex-
cuses for dropping, he says, they have
claimed employers were threatening to
bounce" them should they join, but
after investigating these charges he
found them untrue. A few employers
were of the opinion that scale of high
er wages would be handed them to
submit to, that they would not dare
fire an incompetent union man and
that they must sell only union made
goods. This he also states is a glaring
error and no such demands would be
made. The object of organizing a
union Is principally to regulate the
hours cfwock and strengthen the early
closing nc Teinent At present the
subject of organizing is cold and may
be allowed to rest indefinitely.
A report of the personal property
and real estate Of the county which has
been prepared by the county clerk for

CATHERINE ALTHEN.

Catherine Anthem died at $50 Sunday
afternoon after a long and painful i'll
ness, at the family home, 307 Jackson
street For nearly four years she had
been in poor health and failing When
she first became unwell she went to
Chicago and was treated by DR.. Nicbo-
las Sem. She would feel better at times
but after a while her sick spells came
with more regularity and then it was
apparent that she was afflicted with
some chronic ailment of the stomach
that no human agency could cure. She
was able to be about the house most of
the time up to about three weeks ago.
She then went to bed and remained,
sinking gradually until the end, and
suffering hemorrhages at times.
Catherine Anthem was born in Wau-
sau March "a, 1860, and was daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Anthem, who
came here in an early day. Her moth
er died few years ago. She was one
of seven children, five of whom have
preceded her to the grave. She was
educated in The public schools, married
mere, and remai1ed resident of Wau-
sau all her life She had patient,
charitable and sunny disposition and
was fayorite in the circle in which she
moved, as was witnessed by the num-
Der of friends who called on her regu-
larly during her last Illness. Since the
death of the other children and mother
she has been the solace and pride of
the aged father, and the blow falls
heavily upon him. She was his com
fort in his recent long illness, and
though unwell herself, she waited upon
him when able to. ,Besides her father,
she leaves brother, Albert, and a
daughter, Ida, besides many friends,
who sincerely mourn her death.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
from the Presbyterian church. The
Rev. f. Schaer viii deliver the funeral
sermon. The pail bearers viii be
selected from among old friends of the
family.
