ing. ]. S. Mcdonald, the state Sec
rotary, explained how farmers could by
cooperating and building elevators and
warehouses and shipping their own stock
and grain and other farm produce, do
away with a great many middle men
who bleed the farmers. He did not
advocate doing away with the stores, but
to stand by them and pay cash for what
you get and not to run after catalogue
stores as may of the farmers do to the
detriment of their own merchants. The
farmers in lie Sueur county will build
an elevator this fall on the Milwaukee
road. Mr.. Mcdonald said there ought
to be an exchange in every township.

Hatch, who had become a Christian
Scientist, and thought she was herself
brought back to health in this way, and
was urging Mrs. Marsh to adopt the
same creed. Mrs. Marsh at last decided
to do this. She had all her medicines
collected in box and stored away IN the
cellar and has never touched particle
of medicine since She soon began to
gain in health and strength-such is the
report given out by the family-and be-
fore long dispensed with the services
of her hired girl and did her own house
work. She had long period OF good
health, extending over ten years or more,
and never was ill again until taken with
what seemed to be pneumonia, three
months ago.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed but, in all likelihood,
it will take place next Saturday after

Horse Case Tried in Municipal Court
Yesterday Afternoon.
From Thursdays Daily.


The suit of RobertBurgess, Lukyn Scar.
ner VS.. G.. G. Oliver was tried in the mum.
cipal court yesterday afternoon, with a
jury. The plaintiff sued for $500 alleged
to be the amount in the Pleasant Monud
horse company signed for by the defend
ant. The defense was that the defend
ant had been persuaded by the plaintiffs
to sign in order to induce others to sign,
and thus aid in consummating the sale
of the horse, with the understanding that
he was not to pay his share.
S. B. Wilson appeared for the plain
tiff, and w. E. Young and Chas. Thomp-
son of Amboy for the defendant. The
jury retired at Sis p. m. and came in
two hours later with sealed verdict
which was not opened until this morning.
1t was in favor of the defendant.

structed their attorney to appeal the

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together. and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be q consti-
tutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo o., is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to q teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case II fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

st. Clair Correspondent Not Disposed
to PAY Heed to q "Y0uth."

A youth who chronicles local happen
ings for The Review, essays to criticise
us in our honest effort to clear up a real
ly interesting mystery regarding the
grewsome relic dug up on farm near
here. In the same paragraph he un-
consciously pays us hearty compliment
in referring to our metropolitan style of
journalism. So we are not inclined to
take umbrage at his piqued expression
of disapproval, and shall continue to
delve into the very bowels of the earth,
if necessary, to give our readers what
they have come to expect in the col
umns of The Free Press, all the news. So
doing, we hope to encourage our erudite
friend to do valient service for both
his paper and community.
Regarding Mr.. Geddes' opinion con-
corning the skull, it is stated by an old
settler that the sold ditch digger" is
not in the poor house, but that the man
to whom Mr.. Geddes refers is an old

case. 1t is still up to some one to find
a solution of the mystery.

Wheat-now the bread-corn of twelve
European nations (all India and Amer

knowledge of its great value has con-

pounds of most delicious and nutritious
food can be made. Try it, and you will

Too close contact of the smoke stack
of the small furnace that furnishes heat
for the melting of pitch at the Bierbauer
brewery, with the roof of the ice house,
set the shingles afre. The whole roof
was discovered to be ablaze this after
noon about half past two o'clock. An
alarm was turned in and the fire depart
ment saved the surrounding property.
The damage is almost entirely confined
to the roof, which will have to be re-
newed entirely, perhaps at cost of 5000
to $500. The sides of the building are of
