A disordered stomach may cause
no end of trouble. When the stomach
fails to perform its functions the
bowels become deranged, the liver
and kidneys congested, causing
numerous diseases, the most fatal of
which are painless and therefore
the more to be dreaded. The impor-
tant thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to healthy condition, and
for this purpose no better prepara-
ton can be used than Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets. For sale

Certainly Remarkable.

Platteville Witness;
One Of the most remarkable surgi-
cal cases ever experienced not only
in this city, but in the state, has been
that of Miss Sarah Malone. 1t will be
remembered thatthe young lady, who
possesses remarkably fine head of
hair, while working in laundry,
had her hair caught on collar of Il
line shaft and her entire scalp torn
Off. The accident happened some
thing like two months ago. AT the
time everyone expected she would
live but few days at most, but now
the remarkable part of the case is,
that it is given out that unless some
thing very Unforeseen occurs,
there is every possibility that Miss
Malone will recover. Her condition
has been pitiable. She has received
the best of surgical skill, and the fact
that she does not seem to realize the
extent of her injuries and has borne
up cheerfully through her terrible
ordeal, has helped her case greatly.
The people of Platteville have taken
an unusual interest in the outcome
of her case.

| Sam Fox, who was killed at thi:
place last Monday, January, IS.
was well and favarably known to
most of the old time residents Of
this county, Sam having lived with
his people at Arkalon, thirty mile:
west of Meade on the Rock Island,
for the past ten years, previous to
going on the railroad, about twenty
eight months ago.

men, in which Lodge he carried
$1,000 insurance which will go to
his mother to help her in the
absence of her beloved boy to with
stand the trials of this world.
The gallant B. of L. F. Lodge of
Dalhart, upon hearing of the death
of Mr.. Fox, Immediately sent six of
their members to this place to look
after the remains and see that
everything that mortal hands could
do, was done, to console the
heartbroken relatives in this sad
hour of death in the loss of faith
full son and loving brother.
Mr.. Fox under any and all cir
cumstances was one of the most
cheerful of men, and in this partic-
ular his life is lesson to all who
have known him. He was indus
trious, honest and had many admir-
able traits of character, but his uni
form cheefulness was the trait that
first attracted the attention of new
acquaintances.
The remains were accompanied
from here to Marceline, Mo-, where
his parents reside, by the following
gentlemen: Messrs. w. c. Steward,
D. E. Griffin, C. Roesky, w. E.

pany the remains to Missouri.
