The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1904-02-24

The recent conhagration in Bal
timore is one Of the few things that
brings the world to = stand-still for
at least a few moments to behold a
practical illustration of the truth
contained in the Scriptures, that
"all flesh is as grass, and all the
glory Of man a. the flower Of grass"
To see whole blocks of substantial
buildings licked up by flames that
defy the skill and energy and re-
sources of a well-ordered FIRE de-
partment, right in the heart of q
great city, consuming millions Of
dollars worth Of property, is GER
tAinly calculated to impress man
with a sense Of his impotency, and
teach him how frail he lie.

Col. Bryan on Farming as a Bust
ness.

In recent issue of the Cosmo-
politan Magazine, Col William Jen-
nings Bryan, who is somewhat of a
farmer out in Nebraska, as well as
a statesman, contributes an inter
esting article, and gives eight reas-
ons why farming should be chosen
as an occupation by boys and young
men who are called upon to choose
their life work:
1. Farming is an independent
way Of living, compared with work
in the city. The farmer can supply
his table with meat, vegetables,
bread, milk, butter and eggs, and
he is less affected than the resi-
dents OF the city by fluctuations in
the price Of these commodities.
The clothing account, toe, is less
for those who live in town. The
farmer and his family avoid the
rivalry that leads TO extravaganza.
2. II requires less capital 10 be-
gin work upon farm than to enter
any other sort Of independent bus
moss One can usually obtain farm
land on the shares, whereas for any
mercantile pursuit. it is necessary to
pay rent, often in advance. If one
has noe the means to buy horses
and plows and other agricultural
implements, he can usually find a
small piece Of ground near a town
or city where he can raise Vegeta
bles, and thus make a start that
will enable him to equip himself for
larger farming.
3. All the members of the fam
lily can assist in farming and, that,
too. without hardship.
4. Life upon the farm is health
full.
5. The habits of industry and
application acquired upon the farm
are valuable capital, no matter to
what occupation or profession the
mind is turned.
6. Farm lire cultivates hospital
ity and generosity, and, without en-
tirely removing temptation, gives
parental influence a chance to
strengthen the child before the
seeds Of disobedience are implanted
by evil associates.
In the city there is little manual
labor for the boy to do, and to keep
him from associating with the boys
who are, by chance, thrown in his
way requires a constant exercise OF
parental authority, In the country
darkness shuts out the world and
makes the fireside a welcome re-
treat for all. The farm is conduc-
tive to good morals. The farmer
lives amid miracles and feels each
year his dependence upon the un-
seen hand that directs the seasons
and sends the refreshing showers.
Reverence teaches responsibility,
and sense of responsibility is a
wholesome restraint upon conduct.
7. The farmer learns early in
life the true basis of rewards. By
having to give = dollars worth of
labor for a dollars worth of pro-
duct, he is taught that service, TO
be fair, must be reciprocal. He
never falls into the demOralizing
habit Of expecting something for
nothing. He teaches by example
that labor is honorable, and has
that sense of proprietorship in his

years, and one would think that
people would learn 30 let such
fraudulent enterprises alone.

able Treatment Cures Catarrh
Without Stomach Dosing.

"While all our customers who have used
Hyomei agree that it is remarkably sue
cessful in curing catarrh and other diseases

''yet there has been considerable diversity
OF opinion as to how the name is pronounc-
ed .
"Hyomei is pronounced just as if it were
spelled 'high-o-me, with the accent on the
first syllable"
"a great many come to our store and
instead of asking for Hyomei, tell us they
want a package of the treatment for
catarrh that we are selling on a guarantee. :"
while we know what they mean and all
of our clerks will give them Hyomei, vet
we want every one to know how to pro.
nounce the name of Hyomei, so that they
may run no chance of getting anything
but Hyomei, no matter where they go.
cit is natures true cure for catarrhal
troubles. 1t kills the germs of this
disease, sootheS and heals the irritated
mucous membrane, and effectually drives
all catarrhal troubles from the system.

FORT DODGE MAN MISSING.
Feared That He is Wandering AimIess
w While SUFFERING Insanity.

Iy While Suffering Insanity.
| Fort Dodge, May PA mysterious
disappearance which bids fair to rival
| that of Matt McDermott. who disap-
| peared from his home at Clare AMI
whose whereabouts are still unknown,
has occurred within the last few days
| in Fort Dodge. Wednesday morning
the disappearance of David II. Francis
| was reported to the police. Francis is
q man about SO years of age, and
makes his home with his sister at
2007 Eighth avenue south. He is 4
laborer by occupation and is known to
be slightly deranged at times. During
these spells his actions are unaccolnt-
able, and after q lapse of several days,
during which his actions have been
OF the most insane kind, he recove:s
his normal state of mind, remaining in
total ignorance OF what has trans
pired during the time that he was IN
| a deranged state. These fits have come
upon him several times. The first one
which was heard OF since his residence
in Fort Dodge occurred during the time
that the chautauqua was in session
last year. AT this time he wandered
away from home and for some time
his whereabouts were unknown to his
relatives, who made every possible ef
fort to locate him. AT the end OF
several days he was at last discovered
He was within a. short distance Of
his home, to which he was making his
way when found. He apparently had
no recollection of the events which
had occurred during the time that he
had been missing. The latest prank
which has been played by the mind
of this singular person occurred a few
days ago. His sister missed him from
his meals and as he did not put In
an appearance the following day, she
became alarmed, thinking that he had
been taken with a temporary fit Of in
sanity, asked the aid of the police IN
locating him. A diligent search over
most Of the town and part of tho
surrounding country combined with
large number Of inquiries, have fall
ed to reveal his whereabouts. and it
is feared that he is wandering about in
the woods or open country in the
vicinity in a dazed condition. Informa-
ton concerning the missing man is
anxiously sought by his sister and
Chief Of Police WEIGH of Fort Dodge.

FORMER ROWAN MISSING
No Clue to Whereabouts OF
Martin Sorenson, a Young
Butcher, by Trade
LEFT AMEs LAST JUNE
And Was Supposed to Have Located
in Denver Colorado - No Word
Has Been Received From Him Since
and Relatives and Friends Fear
Accident or Foul Play.

| Ames. May 24.-!The strange disap-
pearance and whereabouts OF Martih
Sorenson, formerly butcher in this
city, has caused alarm and uneasiness
to his friends and relatives. He left
Ames the first of last June for Denver,
Col. He remained there but three
DAYS and returned to Des Moines. After
a stay of three or four days he again
returned to Denver. Since that time
no word has come from him. Chris
Sorenson, of this city, an uncle, re-
ceived notice from the Santa Fe de-
pot OF Kansas City during the winter
that a trunk marked Martin NJ. Soren-
son had been laying in the depot since
last November. The trunk had been
sent from lola, KAN to Larimore, and
from there to Kansas City. Further
than this no clue to his whereabouts
has been ascertaired. The trunk has
been received here, and when opened 1t
was found that all of his butchers
tools We're there and all clothing but
the suit he Is supposed TO have had on
his person. A timebook was found in
the trunk, which showed that he had
worked during the months of Septem-
Der and August, but did not reveal at
what place. He was a young man
about twenty-six years of age, five feet
eight inches in height, weighing 165
pounds. He had dark hair and eyes, a
gold tooth in the upper left jaw. He
also had scar across three fingers on
the left hand. 1t is supposed that he
had suit of gray clothes on and a
light felt gray hat. 1t is not thought
that he had any great amount of money
on his person. as he had but about 5000
when he left Ames. 1t is feared that
he has met with an accident or with
foul play. as he would in all probability
have made inquiry for his trunk before
this time had all been we'll Any infor-
nation in regard to the matter will be
gladly received by his relatives here.

LOT SALE AT FEARING
,sNarly a Hundred Lots Sold at an
Average Price of $50.

Special to Times Republican.
Gearing, May 24.-The sale of lots
in Richardson's fourth addition to
Gearing last Saturday was a surprise,
even to the oldest inhabitant. Two
hundred and thirty dollars per acre
for twenty-five acres of land with
nothing on it but cornstalks, would
seem an exorbitant price, yet that is
what land is worth around Gearing
when it is laid of into lots and such
lis the faith of the business men of
Gearing and farmers of the surround
Ing country that several acres more
could have been disposed of at the
same price. Much of the success of
the sale can be credited to the auc-
tioneer, Colonel D. NJ. Gogerty. While
the colonel has had experience in most
every other line of the auctioneer
business this was his first attempt at
selling lots.
Beginning at the south end nearest
to the business part of town, the first
two lots, having south front. a choice
location, were bid off by n. r.
Gift, for $107.50 each. B. f. Ufford
purchased the next five lots at about
$40 each The price then gradually
went down to $40 at the south end of
the street. coming back on the next
street the price again ran up to near
the 800 mark The majority of the
lots measured 5ox14o, and averaged
over $50 apiece or total of nearly
$4,000 for seventy-nine lots. Nearly
all who bought lots intend to build
and several new residences will go up
this spring.
