EYES SPEAK

Volumes, at times, of woman's happi-
ness or misery. The dull, sunken eye,
with its dark circles almost surely speaks
of womanly ill-health, and its attendant
suffering. With the dull eye goes usu-
ally the sallow, sunken cheek, the drawn
month, the shrunken form-the whole
glory of woman's beauty marred by the
effects of disease.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the diseases which undermine the health
and mar the beauty Of women. 1t estab-
fishes regularity, dries weakening drains,

3. & o. Stealing Water.

Near the close of the council
meeting last night the announce
ment was made by Water Commits
sioner Cutler that the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad company had been
securing water from the city with.
out returning suitable compensa'
ton therefor. The water had been
taken from the fire plug In the
vicinity of the depot, and had been
used to fill the tank of the locomo-
tive that lays there over night.
This has been done ever since the
company had been refused water
by the Carter Oh company. Mr..
Cutler was advised by the
council that a water meter
should be placed there within
ten days, or the water other
wise satisfactorily accounted
for, or it would be shut off A very
wise and satisfactory disposition of
the matter, In view of the fact that
the railroad company will not per

had been called and the freight paid,
and in view of the further fact that
the same railroad company has not
responded to bill sent them for
water used during the month OF
March, The city officials wisely
de- ermil ed that the rule must work
both ways a resolution to which
every citizen will give absolute ap-
prevail.

TOO MUCH KELLEY
Queer Case of All Old Soldier Charged
with Pension Frauds.

MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA.--The case Of
Michael Kelley, the old soldier who was taken
before the federal commissioner at Des Moines
on the charge of attempting to secure a pension
by fraudulent representations, is one of the
strangest that has come to light at the
soldiers home in this city. The facts go to
show that there were two Michael Keeleys who
filed applications for a pension about the same
time. Both supposed to have served In the
same company E. of the Thirty fifth Iowa.
Michael Keeley of the soldiers home filed
his application for pension last spring and In
due time his attorney received his fees. But
Kelley never got his pension Instead. it went
to the widow of another Kelley living at Logans-
port. Ind, who in the meantime had furnished
the department with proofs of the death of her
husband. ....
There are remarkable condolences in the
records of both Keeleys. Both were wounded In
the arm and both were in the same hospital at
the same time, having been wounded In the
same battle. Kelley has certificate of ser
vice, but has lost his discharge. His mother
Mrs. Mary Kelley, lives at Faribault, Mimi.

A QUESTION.
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE yOE-
CELL BROS. DRUG co.
If They Would Guarantee to Restore
You to Health and Strength?

1t seems as though any person who
Is in Ill health. all run down, without
strength and ambition enough to hard
ly get around, would give Voegeli
Bros. Drug Co., or any one all they
possess in the world for a guaranteed
cure.
Such a guarantee Voegeli Bros.
Drug Co. offer to every such person
in this city, witout any such sacri-
flee.
Read Their offer.
I'VE hereby guarantee that our fa-
NOUS cod liver oil preparation, Vinol,
will restore to health all pale and all
ing women and children, build up the
rundown, overworked and debilitated,
give strength to tired, weak mothers,
inVigorate old people, cure hanging
on colds and hacking coughs, bronchi-
tis and stomach troubles restore
strength and make rich. red blood for
the convalescent, create appetite
and cure nervousness and irritability
If there should be any case of fail
ure, we agree to refund the money for
the Vinol taken. Is there an ailing
person in Minneapolis, who Is not will
ing to accept our generous PROPOSE
tion?"
When asked how they could do this
by reporter Of the Journal" Mr..
,Voegeli of Voegeli Bros. Drug Co, re-
piled: 1T is because we know so we'll
of what Vinol is made, and have seen
such wonderful results from it's use,

THE AIR BLAST"
IS A MYSTERY
SHOCKS IN OLD NINE WORKINGS
RESEMBLE EARTHQUAKES
Hancock and Houghton Residents
Aroused from Sleep by the Explo-
sions-No Danger at all to Persons
on the Surface-Scientists Have
Several Explanations, but None Is
Entirely Satisfactory-One Accident
of Il Serious Nature.
Special to The Journal.


Hancock, Mich, Dec. 7.-Miniature
earthquakes, severe enough at times to
rattle windows and to arouse peOp4e from
their slumber, are felt at Hancock and
Houghton, across Portage lake. The
quakes are not due to seismic distur-
blasts have been of more frequent occur
denominated "air blasts in the Quincy
copper mine at Hancock. OF late the
blests have been of more frequent occur
renee than formerly. They do not create
much apprehension, it being realized that
to persons on the surface at least they
are not dangerous Still there are not
a few residents on both sides of the lake
who would not regret their permanent
cessation.
The "air blast is a mystery There
has never been an entirely satisfactory
explanation advanced as to the cause of
the explosions. but several theories
accepted. One is that the gases from
decaying timber in abandoned portions
of the mine, mixing with the air, forms
an explosive, that, when released, is pow
erful enough to shake the ground for sew
eral miles AS the timbers decay they
gradually settle. The hanging wall of ne
cessity does likewise and it is that pres
sure that releases the imprisoned gases,
and causes the explosion. Another theory
is that the blasts are due to the release
of air compressed by the settling of the
upper workings, practically the same prin
ciple involved in the first theory. Air
blasts are known to have occurred at very
rare intervals in other mines. but in the
Quincy they come altogether too often
for comfort.
Several blasts occurred recently in the
old workings in the upper levels between
Nos. and shafts. There were no men
about at the time, and no one was hurt,
altho the blasts were felt by miners in the
lower portions of the mine. No fatalities

iOus explosions. The only accident of a
serious nature at all was last year. when
several miners We're injured by falling
rock dfslodged by a blast in another por-
| tion of the mine. The explosions always
occur in old and abandoned workings, and
| for that reason the majority Of the min

altho there have been instances where
| men have left their jobs thru fear of
meeting their death.

Dubuque, Iowa, Dec. 7.--Jnternal Reve
nue. Collector J. H. Sammis has completed
his answer against the charge OF miscon-
duct in office in forcing an equalization Of
the salaries of his deputies, preferred
against him by former Chief Deputy Mil
ton Howe. Sammis' statement of the case
has been forwarded to Washington and is
now in the hands of Commissioner
Yerkes:
Mr.. Sammis' friends feel confident that
he will be cleared of the charges. It is
pointed out that Howe does not charge
Sammis with appropriating the money ex-
acted from deputies to his own use, and
therefore he did not violate the federal
statute cited by Howe.
The Samnlis case has involved the re-
publican leaders in a factional fight that
promises to become serious. Howe will
be represented at Washington by his
father -in-law, Captain I.othrop of Sioux
