In tremendously big letters the ad-
vertisement of Western Mining CON-
pany is painted in red, white and green
on the side of a Warren street sky
scraper. The directors of the company
probably paid the painter a big sum
for his artistic endeavor but unless he
soon rectifies one of his mistakes they
will be justified in disseminating his
wages. What the man undertook to
say in his aerial advertisement was
that the plant was fitted with the larg-
est smelter in the world. What he
really did say herewith appears:

TYPHOID GERMD,

The microscope shows that in the blood

little germs can be found as shown above.

ty-four hours. That is why If they ever
get into the water supply of a town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions, however,
and they are the persons whose health 10
perfect, whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into healthy
body they are thrown of with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth of all the deaths in the
past two years in that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give is to put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi.
ton. Be assured that you have rich. red
blood and an active liver.

SANK
To a Watery

Did a Popular West
Liberty Boy.
SPRINGWATER
In a Pond Induced
Cramps.
John Mitchell, the Unfortunate
Lad, Inferred This
Afternoon.

West Liberty, o., July 5.-On Sun
day afternoon at about half past three
O'Clock John, popularity known as
Bud Mitchell, aged 23. eldest son
OF John W. and Jennie Mitchell. was
drowned IN Kinnan's S pond about three
miles west of this village, while in
bathing with q number of his compan-
ions. 1t seems that young Mitchell
got beyond his depth and being able to
swim but little, began to call for help.
Some of his companions in the midst
of their merriment thought him in fun,
while others recognizing the serious
ness OF the situation began to shove
rails and other floats to him but the
poor boy was too much bewildered to
take hold of the supports, and soon
sank to watery grave. The boys in
the water with him being young and
inexperienced were too fearful of their
own safety to risk an attempt at per-
sonal assistance.
Some of the boys Immediately has
tened to town with the alarm. and
soon the banks of the pond were lined
with people, while three divers, Frank
Ashenfelter, Milton King and Will
Clark. worked faithfully until they To-
Gated the body and brought it to shore
where Undertaken Troyer took charge
and conveyed the remains to the home
of the grief stricken parents. What
makes the untimely death of the young
man the more distressing and deplor-
able is the fact that he had just recent
ly been converted to the Christian
faith, and at the identical time of his
death was to have been baptized with
number of other converts.
From the fact of its isolated loca-
tion, this pond has been favorite re-
sort for bathing this spring and sum-
mer, though from its peculiar forma-
tion 1t can not certainly be called a
model bathing place, as it is fed by
numerous springs and in various places
are almost icy cold layers and streaks
likely to induce chills and cramps
perilous to the swimmer.
Interment took place in the village
cemetery Tuesday afternoon at half
past one.

Mr.. DERRICK
A Substantial Logan
County Farmer,
Called Away After a Long and
Severe Illness.

Abednego Detrick, one of the most
substantial farmers in Logan county,
passed away at his home near this city
at O'Clock Thursday morning after
an illness lasting Is weeks.
Previous to his last illness Mr.. De-
trick had been in splendid health.
Some two years ago he had one of his
limbs removed to escape the ravages
Of cancer which had developed from
sore. but he recovered from the oper-
alton and had no trouble of any kind
until he was attacked with pneumonia.
This developed into quick consump-
tion and even though the victim fought
the disease brsvely it overcame at last
and death resulted.
Abednego Detrick was born 43 years
ago upon farm in Harrison township
near Gretna. He was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Detrick, his mother
being sister of Mr.. A. J. Hudson.
He had two brothers. one who dropped
dead in this city and Une who was
killed by a falling tree. Two sisters
are still living. Mrs. Albert Hannah,
of DeGraff, and Mrs. Susan Frances,
of Kansas. He was farmer all his
life and was successful in the things
he undertook. Twenty years ago he
was united in marriage to Miss Nam
ME Nesr, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Neer, of this city. No children
were born to the union but Mr.. and
Mrs. Detrick adopted three bright
little folks and cared for them as ten
derly as if they were their own.
Deceased was a member of the Pro-
greesive church of Gretna and of the
Jr. o. U. A. M. and Maccabees. He
was a man who held the respect of
all who knew him and his death is a
sad blow to family and friends.
Funeral services will be held at
o clock, sun time, Saturday.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale
Of any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food. regulate
the action of the liver. stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and that Is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose OF Green's August Flower, in liquid
form. TO make you satisfied there IS nothinl
