What R Lie Did

The madr .ss of suicide as relief from mental anguish was vividly illus trated years ago by an incident which occurred in an Italian town. Moretti, tailor. was sent to prison on charge of fraud His sweetheart called upon the police officer to ask how long Mo retti was likely to be confined and was told that it would be probably for many years. The policeman had been instigated 10 say this by the girls mother, who disliked the match. Over wbelmed with grief and thereby driven to despair, the poor girl put an end to her life by poison. A few days later Moretti was released from custody, the accusation against him having been proved false. He returned home to nnd his afiianced bride a corpse Frenzied at the sight, he, too, destroy ed himself. The lie wrought a double tragedy.

REASONS
Why our VinOl is the Greatest Health RestOrer and Strength Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in a concen- trated form ALL of the medicinal cur ative elements found in cod liver oil, but without a drop of oil to nauseate and upset the stomach; therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do good, Vinol will do far more good.
 Because we have never sold anything in our store equal to Vinol to restore health and create strength for old peo- pie, weak, sickly women and children, nursing mothers, and after a severe sickness.
 Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic colds, bronchitis, and all throat and lung troubles.
 A prominent physician writes:
 "Vinol is the most palatable and valuable preparation of cod liver oil ever compounded. Inow use it entirely in all cases where I formerly depended upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions.'
 Try vinol on our guarantee to return your money if you arc not satisfied. A. c. EATON, Druggist,

The queer Sunfish.

The suntish or headtiSh is fairly com- mon in the vicinity of Santa Catalina island. It's general appearance is ob- long and deep, very thin or compress ed, cut off (truncate) behind, so there appears to be no tail, a mere rim of movable flesh taking it's place, which has a very limited use in the slow loco motion of this extraordinary fish. The skin is hard and coarse, rough, scale less and covered with flat spines, the entire skin covered with a thick coat ing of slime, which appears to be a world in itself for numerous parasites which prey upon the fish.
 This extraordinary fish Is one of the few fishes of little or no use to man ''I am of the opinion" says a natu- ralist, that the hard skin might be utilized. I once learned that the boys of a certain village in Maine were anxious to secure the muscular en- velope of a specimen caught by me tu use it as rubber. They cut the hard elastic substance into round shapes and used them for the interior of home. made baSeballS"

Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1904-08-20

Mr.. Bryan's attitude in support
ing Parker reminds one of the story
of the fellows who were keep
ing bachelor's'hall. A dispute as to
which one should be the cook was
settled by drawing cuts, with the
understanding that the first one to
kick on the grub should take the
next turn at the job. Things ran
along smoothly until one day pie
that was fearfully and wonderfully
made was served. All but one ate
his portion in silence, and that one
at the first bite, exclaimed. 'Well
that's devil of a pie" Then he
grabbed the remaining piece and
gulped it down, murmuring, ''but
like it, though"

The Herald hopes the Republicans
of Grant county will come together
in their county convention this fall
just as if nothing unusual had hap
pened, giving denomination where
faithful service and party custom
warrant it and selecting worthy
successors to those who are deemed
to have had their share. The
factional fight on state issues will
be over, after little, and there is no
use in disrupting the party locally
on account of it. There are good,
honest Republicans in both factions.

Power Turned on and a Train Run Through

over the line from downtown stations

from the city hall to Harlem in fifteen
minutes was accomplished. Most CT
the trains crept slowly past the sta
tons, but were speeded beyond One
Hundred and Sixteenth street
The climax of the test was made by
a picked crew with four cars run at
high speed over the entire route. Some
of the turns were made at dizzy
gait, precautions having been taken
to have the track clear for the one
great effort. The experiment was a
complete success, and Harlem was
reached we'll within the time allow
ance of fifteen minutes. So quietly
did the cars move at highest speed
that only the Waterman heard their
passage.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
Han Picked Up on a Trolley Line who

boarded the "Knickerbocker," which

him sitting on the track. He says his

WILL NOT GIVE UP THE SHIP
Toxic Tells London That the Ryeshitelni
Will Stay Captured.

VIII stay CapCureOs
London, Aug. 19.-The most impor-
tant news regarding the fate of the
Russian Port Arthur squadron is from
Toxic, from which comes an official
announcement that the Japs will not
give up the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni. At St. Petersburg
the official view is that Japan may
yet change her mind and surrender
the boat to the care of some neutral
power, reserving all rights. Such a
course it is pointed out at st. Peters
burg, would strengthen Japan's posi-
ton, and at the same time avoid the
possibility of complications affecting
China'S neutrality.
AS to the five missing ships OF the
Port Arthur squadron St. Petersburg
dispatch says that the Russian consid-
ers it most probable that five of the
battleships have returned to Port Ar
thur, arguing that if the ships es-
capped they must either have been
sighted or reported. This view is
strengthened also by report from
Chefoo that seven vessels are now in
the harbor at Port Arthur.
A dispatch from Tsingtau says that
all the ammunition of the Russian bat
tleship Czarevitch and the three tor
pedo boat destrOyers has been removed
and stored in German magazine.
The work of dismantling the guns of
the Russian vessels has been COM
pleted. The terms of parole imposed
upon the Russians necessitate their re-
naming here until the end of the war.
