FLOOR TURNS ROUND.
DIZZINESS cOMPELS MRS. GAG
NER TO QUIT WORK.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Restore Her
to Perfect Health and Strength.

Mrs. Mary Gagner, of No. $40 South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass mas
PASSED through an experience winch
proves that some of the greatest pless-
ings of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
A few years ago while she was en-
ployed IN the mills she was suddenly
seized with dizziness and great weak
ness. Il was so weak at times, she
says, that l could hardly stand on my
feet, and my head became so dizzy tnat
it seemed as if the floor was moving
around.
My condition at last became so bad
that was obliged to give up work in
the mill. and later still l became so
feeble that l could not even attend to
my household duties. After the slight
est exertion had to lie down and rest
until I regained strength.
"a friend who had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to
try them. I bought box and began to
take them. The benefit was so positive
and so quickly evident that I continued
to use the pills until l had taken alto
getner six boxes. BY that time l was
entirely cured and for two years have
had no return of my trouble. am now
iii the best of health and able to attend
to all my duties. l am glad to ac-
knowledge the benefit l received and l
hope that my statement may be the
means of inducing others who may suf-
fer i'm this way to try this wonderful
medicine
The secret of the power Of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills i'm cases of debility,
such as Mrs. Gagner's, lies in the fact
that they make new blood and every
organ and even every tiny nerve i'm the
body feels the stir of a new tide of
strength. The effect is not brief
stimulation, but steady building up
of wasted tissue and a constant supply
Of fresh vital energy wherever it is
needed until perfect conditions of
health are established. These pills are
sold by all druggists. For further par

Mr. Gladstone one day evaded an in

fine grapes. which stringent regulations
at the time forbade being taken from

Every man owes it as sacred duty
to his mind to start little library of
his own.-Hcnry Drummond.

"The Letters of Henrik Ibsen," soon
to he issued in an English translation
by Fox, Duflield e Co., promise to re-
veal not little that is interesting and
important concerning the intellectual
processes CT the much discussed dra-
matist. Despite acute opposition in
some quarters and ill-considered praise
in others his right to he considered one
Of the greatest dramatists of the pres
ent epoch is unruestioned. AS long
ago as 1880 his fellow-countryman
Biornson. wrote of him: Il think that l
have a pretty thorough acquaintance
with the dramatic literature Of the
world, and ! have not the slightest
hesitation in saying that Henrik Ibsen
possesses more dramatic power than
any other playwrite Of our day. The
fact that l am not always partial 10 the
style of his work makes me all the
more certain that l am right in my
judgment of him." Ibsen, on his side,
in spite of much that repealed him in
Rjornsorl. was always attracted by the
mans mighty personality. In the
spring of 1881, having heard that Bjorn-
son while in America had had mar
row escape from some great danger, he
declared that If his friend had died
he himself could never have written
anything more. When soon after this
Ghosts" was published and everyone
turned against the recklessly belliger-
ent poet, Bjornson defended him en-
Enthusiastically and boldly. One Of Ib-
sens letters in this newly published
collection. written to Frederick Heger
in the spring of 1882, contains this
reference to Ghosts" LAS regards
Ghosts 1 feel certain that the minds
of the good people at home will soon
be opened to it's real meaning. All
the infirm. decrepit creatures who have
fallen upon the work thinking to crush
it will themselves be crushed by the
verdict of the history Of literature. And
the anonymous poachers and high
wayrlen who have shot dirt at me from
their ambush in Professor Goose's
shopkeepers newspaper and such other
places are certain to be found out.
The future belongs to my book. Those
fellows who have beloved so about it
have no real connection with the life
even Of their own day. Therefore it is
that l have taken this part OF the af-
fair so very cpelly. I have made many
studies and observations during the
storm; and these I shall find very use
full for coming weeks.

The Auto and the Beast.

We have heard many farmers kick
at automobiles and the way some
auto drivers treat them when they
meet them on the roads. but we had
no idea that this dislike for the
'snort-wagon" was so strong that the
cattle belonging to the farmers had
been infected by it. but that seems to
be the case. One of our autoists drove
down to GAINESVILLE few days since
and on his way back he had peculiar
encounter with four-legged gentle
man of the Short Horn breed. The
auto was making good time toward
home when the aforesaid gentleman
planted himself in the middle of the
road with lowered head and coun-
tenance which plainly said. "Come
ON. I amt scared bit" When the
autoist blew mis- horn Mr.. Bull st BOD

with below which convinced the
occupants of the automobile that they
were on the wrong track and that il
was their turn to side-tr and take
another road home. -Waukon Indie.

Operator Badly Burned.

A fire in the Milwaukee depot got
our residents out about IL .45 last
night. The hose cart was pulled
down to the depot and connected with
a hydrant. but the fire had been put
out. so the water was not turned ON.
Night operator Bolger says one of the
lamps exploded throwing the burning
oil all ovel him and the front end of
the telegraph office. He tried to put
it out with an old quilt. but being
unable to do so. ran to the home of
S. A. Califf just across from the depot
and reused them and Mr.. Califf and a
couple of others put out the fire with
few pals of water. Ed was taken
to his home and the burns dressed.
He is badly burned about the face and
hands, especially the latter. which
are burned very deep. He is resting
easy this morning, being under the
influence of opiates but his burns are
such as to prove very painful when
the easing influence of the opiate
leaves him. -Lawler Dispatch.

Mrs. F. Y. Graham, living two blocks

to the back door. He heard her groans

was with some difficulty that she was

members of the affair is that she
started out to the back ward to gather
up some linen lying on the grass.
Just as she stepped ON the porch she
was seized by the arms She has no
further recollection of what occurred
until brought into the house by her

This Beats Our Fish Story.

A monster fish is creating good
deal of excitement at Rudd. The fish
has been seen in the mill pond and has
been hooked a number of times. but
in each case cuts the line and gets
away with a hook and bait. The
Cedar river supplies the water for the
pond and it is believed that the fish
found its way from larger bodies of
water further south. Messrs. John
son and Kenyon, old fisherman of that
vicinity have had several experiences
with this aquatic montser. but have
as yet only been defeated in their
efforts. Nashua Post

This year the Elgin Canning Go.
is doing business and lots of it, says
the Echo. At the present time there
are over 800 hands employed in all de-
partments and it is estimated the pay
roll for this week will amount to more
than $4,000. Monday l40 loads of corn
were received and this number was
increased Ito l53 loads which were
brought in on Tuesday. The Monday
run amounted to 20, 600 cans that were
registered and the run Tuesday reach
ed1l00, 900 cans. Very few who have
not visited the factory can comprehend
the enormity.of the work and but very
few have a conception of what a
factory like the Elgin Canning Go. s

If a certain correspondent tells the
truth there are growing in the vici-
nifty of Grundy Center 10000 acres of
potatoes. and conservative estimate
places the average at 300 bushels an
acre. A statistician has figured that
at this rate 5000. 600 bushels of pota-
toes will be raised in Grundy county
alone. Within mile of Bristow are
maturing 100 acres of cabbages This
means fully 100 cars of cabbage heads
to be shipped this year.
