Germ Diseases.


These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to help Nature overcome the
germs, and such results are indirect and
uncertain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are in
evitable. By destroying the cause Of the
trouble, it invariably ends the disease,
and forever.

"Tooted and Tuck Him."

Private John Allen Is responsible
for this one:
Last year there were number OF
claims for damages brought against
one Of the railroads in Mississippi by
the farmers IN a certain county of that
state. These claims arose out of the
fact that many hogs had been killed by
the trains Of the railroad in question.
A mixed commission was formed of
railroad men and others to determine
the equity of these claims. Among 9TH
ers questioned by this commission was
an old darby who claimed to have been
an eye witness to the annihilation of
one hog.
Said the chairman of the commission
to Zeph:
Tell us in as few words as possible,
how this hog was killed"
Old Zeph shifted q hugh cud of to-
bacco from one cheek to the other,
cleared his throat and then replied:
well sah," said he, "as nearly as
kin make it out. 1t was dis way: De
train footed and den TUX him!"

BILLY MAsoN's MILL.


The historic old flour mill at Ben
tonsport. four miles northwest OF this
place, was burned to the ground at
and by its destruction the Des Moines
river valley loses one Of its oldest land
marks. The mill was the property OF
ex-senator William e. Mason, of 1lli-
nois, and his brother, Frank Mason,
of Des Moines. by whom 1t was pur-
chased and ref1tted with modern ma
chinery about year ago.
The mill was one of the oldest build
ings of its kind along the Des Moines
river. 1t was built nearly a half CEN
fury ago, by an early member OF the
Mason family, and when steamboats,
piled up and down the river they
brought wool In and took cloth away,
for 1t was then a wooden mill in COM
petition with that Of the Meeks at
Bonaparte.
AS the steamboats, were forced from
the stream the Bonaparte mill having
better advantages, forged to the front
and after time the Bentonsport es-
Establishment was changed to a grist
mill. Finally 1t was closed and re-
manned so until Senator Mason and his
brother, more to keep the property in
the family than for any other purpose,
purchased the building and refitted it.
Installing new and modern machinery
Since that time the mill has been
run steadily as flour mill and was
apparently in ship-shape condition
when the workmen left II Monday
night. How the fire originated is not
known and probably will not be. as the
building and contents were totally de-
stroyed.

remarked William Frost. that that old
building across the road had a good
old association dear to the memory of
US older citizens of Merrill.
Why that old depot used to
serve a double purpose when I
was buying livestock and grain here IN
1881. 1t not only was our passenger
depot, but also our own and only stock
yards The building was then about
five feet Off the ground and by the aid
OF few boards we managed to herd
hogs very nicely under 1t. We would
drive them in there and when we had
a car load we would take the benches
out OF the depot and form kind of
gangway with them from the depot
platform to the car.
'4The trains did not make regular
trips here but each shipper stopped
trains as he needed them"
