When Owosso Citizens Show the
wav

There can be no just reason why any
reader of this will continue to suffer
the tortures of an aching back, the an
noying of urinary disorders, the dangers
of diabetes or any kidney ills when
relief is so near at hand and the most
positive proof given that they can be
cured. Read what an Owosso citizen
says:
w. H. Richards, of Mulberry street,
just inside the city limits, say: II was
afflicted with kidney complaint for some
years, and had such soreness and lame
ness through my loins and kidneys that
was unable to walk upright, but had
to crawl about at times on my hands
and knees suffered from catarrhal
condition of the bladder, and the kid
ney secretions were irregular, distress
ing and annoying. If 1 attempted to
lift anything or stoop, was repaid
with sharp twinges of pain through my
kidneys. 1 was unable to obtain
remedy to relieve me until saw Doans

In July, 1870, he went with the eastern

SECRETS OF THE HAND.
Things That Are Revealed to the
Touch OF the Blind.


The handshake of some people makes
you think of accident and sudden
death. Contrast this i'll bodng hand
with the quick, skilful, quiet hand of
a nurse whom 1 remember with af-
lection because she took the best care
of my teacher. l have clasped the
hands Of some rich people that spin
not and toll not and yet are not beau
tiful. Beneath their soft, smooth
roundness what chaos Of undevelop-
ed character!
All this is my private science of
palmistry, and when 1 tell your for
tune it Is by no mysterious intuition
or gypsy witchcraft, but by natural,
applicable recognition of the embossed
character in your hand. Not only is
the hand as easy to recognize as the
face, but it reveals its secrets more
openly and unconsciously. People con-
troll their countenances, but the hand
is under no such restraint. 1t relaxes
and becomes listless when the spirit
Is low and detected, the muscles tight
en- when the mind is excited or the
6idu, anu
stand written on 1t all the time.
AS there are many beauties of the
face, so the beauties of the hand are
many. Touch has its ecstasies. The
hands of people Of strong individuality
and sensitiveness are wonderfully mo-
bile. In a glance of their finger tips
they express many shades Of thought.
Now and again touch fine, grace
full, supple wristed hand which spells
with the same beauty and distinction
that you must see in the handwriting
Of some highly cultivated people. I
wish you could see how prettily little
children spell In my hand. They are
wild flowers of humanity and their
finger motions wild flowers of speech

The Dalles Chronicle of Wednesday
says:
GA startling story comes TO us this
afternoon, tragic in the extreme and
capable Of developing into one Of the
most sensational ever chronicled by
this paper.
GA trunk containing the dead body
Of man was found at Tunnel No. 3,
about seven miles west of the city,
last night, is the report which Peter
Henningsen of Mosier brought up this
morning. 1t was discovered in some
high grass north of the tunnel by a
tramp, who, supposing he had made
great find, cut a large square hole in
the top, and, to his horror, ran into
the head Of a man. Frightened out
of his senses he ran to Section Boss
Gardner and told him of his find. Mr..
Gardner informed Mosier, who in turn
sent word to the coroner and authori'
ties, Henningsen, who brought up the
news, says he went down and found
tracks leading from the river up, but
weakened when ii came to examining
the trunk, which he says was a new
one. Captain Nelson says the trunk
has been there for three days. that
he has noticed it and wondered why
il was not moved.
'It is supposed it was brought up
the river by one of the boats, the crew
little knowing the awful contents
thereof.
