AIR DURKEE CLAIM.
Dispute Over United States Bonds
Given New Turn by Chi
cago Man.

Kenosha, Wis, July 24.-[ Special i
The famous fight of the heirs of Charles
Durkee, the first Wisconsin representa-
tive in the United States Senate, to re-
cover a large sum of bonds alleged to
have been left in the keeping of the
United States government, is to have
another airing, as an action has been
started in the superior court Of New
York to force an accounting from the
Hartman interests in the Union Pacific
and if possible show what disposition
was made of the bonds
In the past it has been the consensus
of opinion in this part of the state that
the alleged bonds were never owned by
the former Wisconsin senator. But it is
now stated that Franklin H. Head of
Chicago, and formerly of Kenosha, who
was the private secretary of former Gov.
Durkee, and the executor of his will,
has admitted that the bonds were in the
possession of Mr.. Durkee and that some
of them were sold long after his death.
The claim made by the heirs is that
the government or the owners of the
Union Pacific are in debt to them to the
amount Of $64,OOO,O0O. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw and Treasurer Roberts
have demurred to the complaint filed
against them and the demurrer will be
argued in October in the superior court
of New York
Thousands of people in Wisconsin and
Illinois are interested in the settlement
of the case, as millions of shares of
stock in the claim have been sold in the
two states by spectators who hope at
some time to be able to untangle the
mystery connected with the disappear
ance Of the famous bonds.

TWO DEAD IN STORM
IN RACINE COUNTY.
Roaring Clouds Do Damage Estimated
at $Ioo, ooo-Crop Damage
Is Large.

Racine, Wis, July 24.-With a roar
that was heard five miles, a cyclone
struck the northern end of Racine coun-
ty early Sunday, killing two men and
damaging property and crops valued at
100000.
The storm came from the southwest,
and hit the large barn of Adolph Meis-
ner, which was torn to pieces, the debris
being scattered 200 feet. The damage on
this farm alone amounting to $4,000 In
every quarter grain is ruined, but no
other buildings were destroyed.
AT a farm in Thompsonville a work
man named Edward Hannemann, aged
p years, was struck by lightning and
killed. Near Union Grove Adam Hunter,
an old farmer, was picked up by the
storm and his neck broken. At the
Haumerson brick yard lightning struck
shed and six men were stunned.
Two barns were struck and their ends
wrecked. At least a dozen cattle were
killed and the telephone wires in the dis
trict were blown down.

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MIR. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE,

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom FROM
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzIng
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
They have been my best doctor,T' he
says. Sc was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains III my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
salloW. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which I learned from
friends III France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure i'll eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep az night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure i'll living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is q native of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larlzin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one Of q great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills i'll the treatment
Of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea. pain Or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat, may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure Of constipation.

MANY VIRTUES OF EYEGLASSES.
Are a Cure for Seasickness and Perhaps
for Insanity

Between eyeglasses and worry there
seems no intimate connection; yet the
first may often be a corrective OF the
second. Even NAL de mer may yield to
a pair of spectacles. Suicide and insan-
ity may result from the want of them
This is not q Quack advertisement. 1t
IS a statement of fact, based on the evil
dence of an expert.
Writing in The Lancet, Ernest Prom
ger, Ophthalmic surgeon to Harrogate in
Stitute, points out that though many peO-
pie suffer from worry, few break down
under it. The cause of the breakdowns
that do occur, he is convinced, from care
full observation, are in many cases errors
in refraction.
He once prescribed glasses for the cor
regional astigmatism in a medical man,
who had up to that time believed that
his eyes were normal. Soon afterward
the patient went to Ireland, and in spite
OF a rough journey and the fact that he
had been always liable to violent sea-
sickness he was not on that occasion
seasick. The medical man attributed his
exemption from the dreaded malady to
wearing the glasses. THE motion of the
sea-" says Mr.. Pronger, was not by it
self sufficient to upset him, the additional
influence of that slight error of refraction
having been removed" The same sub
Ject was also a great sufferer from train
sickness, "a not uncommon result of as
tigmatiSm.' But now he has only to
wear glasses, and no express has power
over him.
In another patient the nervous system
completely broke down. He believed
that he could see quite well. He went
through various courses of treatment
without getting better. Then Mr. Pronger
prescribed spectacles. From that dag
forward the patient became gradually re-
stored to health.
From his experience of the symptoms
and conditions which are the effect of I'M
corrected errors of refraction, and which
are also frequently the precursors of
suicide and insanity, Mr.. Pronger asks
consideration for the theory that it is de-
fective eyes which are responsible for a
large proportion of the cases of suicide
and insanity which occur.-London Lead

STOCK COMPANY STRANDS.

Leave for Chicago Instead of

Fond du Lac, Wis, July 24-ESpe-

tor and manager of the company and
his wife, left suddenly Sunday morning

night the heavy man, W. J. McCarty,
was placed in jail for intoxication and
following this the soubrette, Maude
Ballinger demanded her pay, and with
the aid of Desk Sergt. G.. Stevenson Sc
cured the settlement. This placed the
company in hard straits, but they strug-
gled through Saturday. Weyerson prom
ised to meet what was left of the COM
pany at the Forest avenue hotel Sun
day morning at o'clock, but when they
showed up, Weyerson and his wife had
fled.
