Doan'S
Kidney Pills

relieve bad back and cure it-cure ev-
cry kidney and bladder disorder, from
backache to complicated cases.
Mrs. Sarah Walmer. widow of the late
Jacob Walmer, the wagon maker of Union
Deposit, who spent thirty-One years Of her
life in that corporation. but is now living
with relatives at the corner of North Sixth
and PETER streets, Harrisburg, Pa, says:
From a fall / received on a wet board
walk in my yard about sixteen years ago,
when injured my back, had any amount
of trouble with my Kidneys, having severe
backache very near all the time. 1t hurt
me to stOOp or lift anything of ordinary
weight. Many times at night l could not
turn In bed on account of sharp pains.
Medicine did very little TO relieve, and 1
had about given up taking any when l saw
such glowing accounts of DOan's Kidney
Pills. l concluded to try just once again,
and l got a box of them at Forney' &
KnOuse's drug store, on Market street.
They did me a wonderful amount of good
and relieved my aching back"
Doan's Kidney Pills sold at all drug
stores; so cents. FOster-Milburn CO., Buff

Screening Cracked Corn.

In feeding dry cracked corn to poul-
try much of the very fine is wasted
unless it is sifted more thoroughly than
is usually the case when brought from
the mill. This led a Rural New York
er correspondent to arrange an in
genious grader, which he tells about as
follows: Il made hopper large enough
to hold a hundredweight or so of crack
ed corn. with a shgtQff. in the bottom
so as to Regulate the flow of grain.
Then with three sizes of galvanized
wire netting 1 made screens about one
foot wide by six feet long. The hopper
was placed up at the head of the
granary stairway, with the screens un-

The Last Chance.

Manager VanValkenburg, of the
Laclede opera house, has secured an
other fine attraction. The Uncle
Josh Spruceby company that comes
to Laclede next Thursday night is
one of the best companies on the road.
1t has been playing to packed houses
in St. Joseph, Moberly, Macon and all
the larger towns and it is only fll-in
date that they have been induced to
give Laclede. This is perhaps the
last opportunity our people will have
this season to see frst-class attraction
and good house should greet them.

FRED S. ORMSBY DEAD.
The Remains Brought From Salina, Kansas,
And Buried Here Thursday.

Fred S. Ormsby, we'll known in La.
clede and over Linn county, was
found dead at his home near Salina,
Kansas, last Saturday. He had
made his home in that locality for
the past six years, running threshing
engines in the threshing season and
working as machinist in the winter.
This winter he was repairing some
engines at Mentor, a small town a
few miles from Salina, and was
living alone in house half mile
from the little town. He was
about his work Friday but sometime
Saturday when neighbor called at
the house the lifeless body was found
lying on the bed. All his clothes
were on except his coat, his left arm
protruded over the side of the bed, a
cash two inches long across the left
wrist, bloody razor and a pool of
blood on the floor made a ghastly
sight.
The coroner responded to a tele-
phone call but as there was no evi.
dence of struggle or foul play in
any way he pronounced it case Of
suicide and no inquest was held.
Word of his death was received
here Monday evening and that night
his brother, r. j. Ormsby left for
Salina, returning Thursday noon.
The remains were taken from the
train to Felt's undertaking rooms
where at 3 o'clock that afternoon
short funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Robson and the remains
were buried in the Laclede cemetery.
Like all men, Fred Ormsby had
his faults, but over his grave we
sp. cad the veil Of charity and say,
crest in peace"

Uncle Josh Coming.

An intense heart story is unfolded
in the charming comedy drama
"Uncle Josh Spruceby" which comes
to opera house, at Laclede, Feb. 25.
The plot of the play is taken from
scenes of every day life. A country
maiden who has boarding school ed
ucation meets the temptor in the
guise of polished city chap, who
turns out later to be a confidence
man and who persuades the girl that
the comfortable, if homely, Vermont
home is too dull for her. She is in
duced to elope to the city. 'Uncle
Josh" goes to the city to search for
his lost Nancy" and meets many ad-
ventures there. The comedy is fur
nished by Hans Non Lottleneyer the
'.just over Dutchman" and "Sally
Spruceby" who has no use for city
folks. The play is we'll staged and
acted by company of capable people.

Down Stream Coin and Comm.

Down in Camden county lives a
man who goes miles to town always
by boat and returns home in the
same way, and without the need of
oars. "It's down stream goin' and
comin'," as he puts it. The river
which adjoins his farm on either side
is the Usage. Linn Creek, the county
seat, is situated at the bend of the
"U" and this citizen who enjoys ma
ture's free transportation, lives be-
tween the forks of the 'U." When
he desires to 60 to town, he places his
skiff into the stream upon the west
side of his farm. When he returns, 1T
is to the east side of his land, half
mile from his house. The gentleman
says he can float to the Worlds Fair
City, but he can't float back. This,
however, he declares, shall not keep
him from being there with all his
neighbors on October -, which is
Missouri "Day."

IT WAS NOT JESS EDWARDS.
But His Cousin, Earnest J. Edwards, Who
Attempted Suicide in Kansas City.

AS was expected by many here
who know the two boys, it turns out
to have been E. J. Edwards who was
reported to have attempted suicide in
Kansas City a couple of weeks ago,
and not Jess Edwards. Jess was in
Texas at the time.
The Topeka dispatch to the Kansas
City Star stating that he had written
to his sister, Mrs. Wolfe, at Topeka,
that he would follow the unsuccessful
attempt up in few days with sue.
cessful attempt, was also untrue.
The letter Mrs. Wolf, received was
from her mother in Laclede, enclosing
clipping from county paper. The
letter explained that it was not Jess
but that he was alive and we'll and
for her not to worry over the matter.
Mrs. Wolfe was alone when the
letter was delivered. and the sup
position is that on reading the
heading to the newspaper clipping
she tainted and never recovered to
know the truth. The occurrence is in
deed unfortunate and sad one.
Mrs. Wolfe was bride of less
than a year, having been married to
j. Allen Wolfe, May 20, 1908, and
had a happy home with bright flu
ture, Mr.. Wolfe being a prosperous
business man of Topeka.
