There Is little joy in living when the dis
ordered nerves prevent sleep and rest; when
one wakes from a restless night more tired
than the night before; when one is forced to
drag through the round of daily duties with
out energy, ambition OF interest. This con-
dition Is due to arrangement of the nerves
which may be speedily regulated and
strengthened by DR.. Miles Restorative
Nervine. This remarkable medicine has a
wonderful record of cures. Supplying as 1t
does the exact element needed for the res
toration of the nerve force and vitality, its
good effects are felt after the first few doses.
IT have used your remedies myself and in
my family for the past seven years and II IS
not too much to say that they saved my life.
The tired feeling used to have after giving
q few music lessons has left me entirely and
instead of lying in bed three or four hours
trying to get sleep and then getting up and

Fires.


The nice newly fitted up home Of
Tom Jackson IN the Third ward
caught fire from a defective flue last
Saturday night and though the fire
boys headed by Chief Herod, got there
In an Incredibly short time, the roof
and whole upper story we're sheet of
fame before the water could be turn
ed on. The boys fought manfully but
the fire had such start that 1t could
not be put out till all the upper part
of the house was burned off and the
lower part seriously damaged. Some
of the house hold goods were saved but
mnch was lost. Mr.. Jackson's loss is
estimated at $1,000.
Sunday afternoon Frank Sauer's
fine new house was found to be on
fire, He was just getting ready to
move In and had a fire In the crate to
dry it out little. Fire caught from
the flue and was soon roaring up
around the flue like furnace.
The fire boys got two strings OF
hose to bearing on the flames and
after some time got the fire out, but
not till the fine white walls and new
ly painted floors were blackened and
smoke stained till the inside looked
like an old house. The damage was
considerable, but it is amply covered
by insurance.

Chanute VS.. Hepler.

Tho football team from Hepler, of
which we ha re heard so much. came
over to Chanute Sunday with colors
flying, expecting to win an easy vic
tory over the Chanute team. They
were big husky set Of fellows and
looked quite formidable.
A large crowd greeted them on the
field and they put up a good clean
game and the very best they knew
how.
However, 1t soon became apparent
that they were no match for the
much faster team from Chanute.
The Hepler boys are nervy, but
have not played together enough to
be dangerous to a we'll drilled team.
The score at the close was 81 to 0 in
favor of Chanute. The gate receipts
were about $3.50.

Lecture Sn the Beer War.

You need not be afraid to in
vest twenty-five cents in hear
ing Sergeant Major School at
the Presbyterian church to-
night. His description of the
two great battles was thrilling,
the first in which the British
hollow square of 600 men was
completely hewn down, the sec
ond in which 5000 British met
the onslaught of 10000 Zulus
and Won a decisive victory.
These battles were fought by
the British to save the Beers
and other Europeans from COM
plete determination.
The speaker is exceedingly
fair in commenting on all
nationalities and their modes of
warfare and their bravery. His
sword and bayonet drill are
wonderful. Tonight he will
give his own experience as a
hunter and soldier in South At
RIGA. You will miss a treat if
you don't come.
