The horses having had a feast

them TO our small rivers or creeks.
Some are quite deep. During over
flows, boats often ascend far into
the interior. The muddy banks
require corduroy roads made of
poles lying together. Sometimes
a fiat boat would be the bridge
across the water.
Pine Bluff lay on the return
route. David's father put up with
a man in that town from the
North. They had beer for supper
to drink instead of tea, coffee or
milk. David tasted the bitter
stuff and so great was his dislike
to the drink that this was his
first and last taste. Going north
east the road lay thru the pine re-
gion. Some scenes and incidents
happened. One was when on one
of the Ozark mountains in Ar
kansas, a cloud hung below on the
mountainside pouring rain in the
valley, while above the cloud the
sun shone in his IL sual splendor.
Travelling over another noun
tain the axle of the hack broke.
David's father took off one of the
single-trees and with rein and
rope fastened this on the axle with
the end extended far enough to
take on the wheel, then putting
the wheel on this wooden axle with
the wrench cut threads for the
tap, using a small tree by the road
for a single tree. The trip was
made several miles to a village
when a smith welded the broken
part.
The large black horse, odd
Bill" lost his shoe; finding it was
easy: but when the village in the
valley was reached the blacksmith
was up in the mOuntpins and would
not return until night. David and
his father got permission to use
nails and shoe for themselves. This
they did and this shoe was the last
one to become loose.
Reaching Forsythc, fancy cOun-
ty, Missouri, they found slaveOwn-
ers afraid of war and very DESTROYS
to sell their farms and go farther
south.
One man offered a farm of about
three hundred acres with good
frame dwelling, barns and negro
cabins for fifteen hundred dollars.
Dayid's father was so well pleased
he thought of buying, but it was
too far from home and good socie
ty to suit David. The next town
to reach would be Springfield. The
road was rocky and mountainous.
The soil seemed as full of gravel
as gravel roads in North Missouri
and David would wonder how the
corn would yield so well in
such soil as this.

Can Nervous Diseases
Be Caused by
Eye Strain?

The literature of medicine goes to
prove conclusiyely that duration Of
life is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which IL entails
Any factor, therefore, in their causation
ought not TO be overlooked. In the view
that Eye-strain is frequent cause of
functional nervous arrangements proves
to be the correct one beyond the possi-
bility of doubt or cavil, it is not diff
cult TO see that hope of marked relief
or of ultimate recovery Is practically ex-
tended to many hopeless sufferers upon
whom drugs have eXerted little or no
benefit.

directly from neglect in this particular

Will Leave DEBORAH.

In our Want Column will be found
the announcement of George Sinclair
that he has decided to leave DEBORAH
and advertises for sale his stock of
merchandise in West DEBORAH. This
step is taken by Mr.. Sinclair not be-
cause of any dissatisfaction with the
returns of his business or with Deco
rah in general: on the contrary he
has always enjoyed both his business
and social life here and regrets very
much to leave them. The recent
death of his father leaves the mother
alone on large farm near Money
Greek, Mimi, and that he may be
with her and look after the farm, Mr..
Sinclair makes this move. His health
also is not very rugged and he hopes
that the outdoor life CT farmer NAV
restore it. His host of friends here
regret to have him leave DEBORAH, but
all wish for him every success. If he
is not successful in selling his stock
IN lump, he will retail it out.

Likely to be ReinStated.

Since writing the item on the first
page concerning the removal of Supt.
JAS. L. Metcalf of the money order
department we note in Frank j. Still
lmans Washington letter TO the Reg
lister and Leader that Mr.. Metcalf S
action was strictly honorable and in
the interests of the government and
that he will very likely be given his
Office again inside of month. A CON-
mittee from the printers union of the
United States held long conference
with the President and Mr.. Payne in
which they took the ground that the
government could not afford to in
effect offer premium ON such dupli-
city and undetermined work as is
charged against Herman, who after
having assisted in making the bid
for the Halleneck Company resign
ed his position and put in one of his
own $45, 900 lower. The friends of Mr..
Metcalf will learn of his vindica-
ton with joy.

Death of Alden Benedict.

The remains of Alden Benedict ar
rived from New York and after a
brief ceremony at the undertaking
rooms of Sobeck & Co., the funeral
having been held in New York, they
were laid to rest in Phelps cemetery.
Mr.. Benedict's death occurred quite
suddenly last Wednesday of heart
disease, following an attack of
Bright's disease He was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Benedict and his
boyhood and young manhood were
spent in DEBORAH and he has since
leaving here kept in close touch with
his old home and friends. so that his
death is much regretted by all who
knew him. Of late years he has been
eminently successful as an actor and
later as theatrical manager and had
made New York his home. He leaves
wife and one sister, neither of
whom was able to accompany
his body here for burial.

his decision in the Dowd case which
has attracted much attention in the

home in Bloomfield township at the
age of eighty-two, leaving large es-
tate-2S0 acres of land considerable
personal property-estimated in value
between $4,000 and $4,000. Seven
weeks before his death he had decided
practically all of it to his son Ed
ward, thus cutting off the rest of his
children, six in number. Five OF
these brought suit to set aside the
transfer to Edward, alleging mental
incapacity on the part of the father.
Later will was discovered by Ed.
wards attorneys which had been
made three years before and in which
the father had provided for practical.

ty to his son. This evidence was OF
course conclusive of the old mans in.
tentions and Judge Fellows on Mon
day decided that the transfers made
were legal. All of the testimony in
the case was taken in the form of de-
positions and when the Judge went
home from the May term he took with
him between 5000 and 1000 pages Of
typewriter manuscript, the perusal OF
which took nearly two weeks Of time.
The attorneys in the case were John
