Words of Appreciation.

The st. Paul Sunday School has
appointed us, the undersigned, a
committee to express our regret at
the departure from our city and our
Sunday School of u of our most
valued and earnest co-workers, Mr..
Z. H. Siddali, therefore we beg to
report;
Fer several years Mr.. Siddall was
a resident of u city and while not
a member of the Methodist Church,
he connected himself with St. Paul
Sunday School and we did not have
a more ardent or Jealous worker than
he for all that vas ter the good of
the school. But finding it would be
to his interest from a financial stand
point, to engage in business else
where, he has moved with his fam
ilysto another town and state. 1t is
with deep and sincere regret that we
parted with our beloved co-laborer
and his family, and we wish to put
| OA 1OCOAo t14O OCOU1l4OL1o1 VI Oot
very high regard for him, and ap-
probation of all his services. To say
that he will De missed from our
midst but feebly expresses our feel
ings in regard to his departure, for
we realize that his going away from
us is a great loss to our Sunday
School land our community. He
gave much of his time to Sunday
school work, for his heart was in
this grand and important work, and
he honestly believed that more good
could be accomplished for the spirit
ual uplifting of our church and
peopleinthis way than in any other.
His love for and interest in this work
was an incentive to all of us, not
only for our best efforts along this
line, but for higher and noble living.
We will greatly miss him from
our ranks, but our loss is the gain OF
those people, with whom he has now
cast his lot. Our best wishes and
our prayers will follow him tc his
new field of labor, and as a refined
Christian man, conscientious in hi;
dealings with his fellow man, ar
earnest, faithful and consecrated
Sunday school worker, we most
heartily commend him to the re
spect and confidence of those will
whom his lot will be cast in his nev
home.
It is the wish of our Sunday schoo
that this testimonial be sent to oul
brother and a copy of the same b.
} spread upon the minutes of our Sun
day school, also that copies be furn
ished the ARGUS and the Sumpte
: papers for publication.

Nervous Dyspepsia

Can be cured if one will try the
right thing.
Twas down with Nervous Dyspep-
STA for eight years. When 1 was
taken I weighed 1873 pounds, and it
reduced me to 118. I could not touch
solid food. I believe if I had taken
solid food it would have killed me,
and / had to live on sweets and
lightest kind of diet.
I had severe nervous spells nearly
every day and would have doctors to
treat me, but they did not do me one
particle of good, not even to relieve
me. I was SO weak that for three
months I was not able to walk across
the room. / had rather die than to
suffer it over again and l felt that /
was in a worse condition than any
one who eve lived.
Mrs. Joe Person and my wife per-
suaded me to use Mrs. Joe Persons

To the Public.

It is being circulated here by one
or two people hat I am going to
leave this city within the next few
days. "The wish is father to the
thought" perhaps, to these one or
two people. l am here and here to
stay, and all my friends who need
my services will find me in one OF
the back rooms~of the Law Building
on the corner of John and Walnut
streets, until the neW front is COM
pleted, after which they can find me
in my same old quarters prepared to
do any and all kinds of dental work,
in the best possible manner, and at
prices within the reach of all.
Very respectfully,

Happy is the man who has a lit
! tie farm away nom the city where
he can visit now aud then for re-
cuperation! On his miniature estates,
! no matter how small they may be
and regardless of whether they are
| p~roftabie or the reverse, he can for
| get the busy world for a time and
gain new strength. Since that Ia
| NOUS Sabine farm afforded inSplra-
| ton to Horace the value of a rural
retreat for the city man has been APP
preciated. Unfortunately, a major
ity Of city jewellers have neither the
money MOI the inclination to indulge
in such a luxury, but a small farm IS
| better than an automobile every
time.
The man who believes in cart for
arts sake'' is the rather seedy lndl-
vidual who wears a hungry look and
finds difficulty in paying his bills.
Aestheticism is all very good in its
way and does much to brighten up
what would otherwise be a sordid
life but the man who is after the
dollars is the man who weighs the
most and lives the best. Perhaps, at
some future day, when the nation
rolls in wealth and there will be nc
further incentive to strive, we will
devote all our attention to the finer
accomplishments. Just now the abil-
ity to make a fortune, regardless OF
grammar, is accomplishment enough
for any man

BOLD ROBBERY.

Some One Entered Mi. II. H. !
Stanton's Store and Stole
Between $3.50 and 5000
From His Iron Safe.
From Mondays Daily.
Some one entered Mr.. T. H. Stan
toms store on East Centre street last
night OR early this morning, and
stole from his safe between $I75 and
5000.
When Mr.. Stanton closed up Sat-
urday night, he locked the safe and
! fastened all the doors and windows.
This morning when his chief clerk
| Mr.. J.~H. HarrelI opened up he
found that some one had been in the
store, as the back window, which
was carefully barred Saturday night,
was standing wideopen.
Upon investigation it was found
/, that the safe had been opened and
all the money which was left there
in Saturday night gone.
The empty money drawer was
found on the window sill where the
thief made his exit.
How the thief entered the store,
no one is able to tell. The whole
matter is a mystery. There is no
sign to indicate that the store was
broken into. The window that was
found open was securely barred Sat
urday night and it would have been
utterly impossible for any one to
T have gotten inside through the win
dow without leaving some sign.
The supposition is that the thie1
!, was either secrefed in the store Sat.
urday night when the store was clos
ed or else he had a key to the from
door.
If the safe was locked Saturday
night, as stated, it is also strange
how anyone not familiar with thu
combination could have opened it
The safe was not damaged at all.
Mr.. Stanton, who Is sick at hi
home, was informed of the matte
this morning as soon as the thief
, was discovered, but he was unabl
to throw any light on the mystery
The police are at work on the case
