chanical ability. At the time of death

was born in Virginia in 1926, and in 1851
was married to Miss Andulucia Morse,
who died in this city May ~, 1896.
The deceased was a pioneer of 1878,
at which time with bis family he came
to Pendleton from Iowa county, Wis
consin. In addition to large number
OF friends and acquaintances there is
left to mourn the loss Of just, upright
and honorable man, seven children.
They are Melvin, james, Henry, Viii
liam, Fred and Alfred Garden, and Mrs.
@. r. Henderson.
The remains were taken to Pendleton
yesterday where interment was made in
0lney cemetery.

bill No. 4 to change the law for raising
county school fund. At present the

THE BAND CONCERT
AT THE OPERA HOUSE
Old Fiddlers' Contest Will Please
Everybody.

Much interest is being taken IN the
concert to be given by the Athena Band
tomorrow evening at the opera house.
Seats on sale at Osburn's drug store are
going rapidly and good attendance is
assured.
The principal feature of the concert,
perhaps, will be the old fiddlers' con-
test. This number of the program
promises to furnish much fun and
amusement for the audience, many Of
whom will doubtless be carried back to
the days Of the country dance, when
"Hannah and ! we're young" and the
fiddler stood in the corner playing Irish
Washwoman, "Money Musk, and
other soul-stirring refrains. The best
hat in town is the prize for the winner.
Prof j, S. Henry will judge the con-
test which will be participated in by
ssAbe" Jones, "Bill' King, dad"
Luna, "Docp Dell, "Al." johnson, sr.,
M. j. Peterson and others.
Professor Walker, an experienced
musician and specially artist, will be
seen in many Of the features that has
marked his success on the stage. Every
act that he will put before the people
will be entirely new and different from
anything ever presented here.

The EASY Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, jaundice, constipa-
tom and inactive livers, by arousing
the secretions, moving the bowels
gently, yet etfectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the glands
of the stomach, liver and bowels, that
the cause of the trouble is removed en-
tirely These famous little pills exert
decided tonic effect upon the or
gans involved, and if their use is cou-
tinued for a few days there will be no
return of the trouble. Rivers Bros.

A FRIENDS ADVICE
Will Often Help You Greatly. Read
What a Montpelier Citizen Says.

You may hesitate to listen to the adj
vice of strangers, but the testimony of
friends or residents of Montpelier is
worth your most careful attention. 1t
is an easy matter to investigate such
proof as this. Then the evidence must
be conclusive. Read the following:
Louis Marcott, blacksmith, of Ter
race street, says: Anyone who fol-
lows my calling requires good sound
back, and when that part of his anat-
omy aches and pains with every move
there are times when the sufferer is
in actual misery. l never knew the
moment when almost unbearable
twinges would catch me across the
back and often have been unable to
continue at work. A friend who knew
my condition urged me stronglyto try
Doans KidneyPills and l went to W.
E. Poole's drug store for a box. If it
had not brought results / never would
have bought a second, third and a
fourth, and if the treatment had not
been fully up to my expectations and
positively stopped the last attack
