STILL
GROWING
Demand for Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets
Continues to lncrease-Endorsed and
Guaranteed by Bowdtch G. Webster
and Percy w. Means.

Although Mi-o-na was introduced in
Augusta but a short time ago. it is to-
day outsellng all other medicines for
the cure Of Indigestion and stomach
troubles.
Mi-o-na gives such health and
strength TO the weakest stomach that
al the food is readily converted into
nutrition. so that it gives nourishment
and health to the whole system. In this
Way nervousness and sleerlessness are
cured; headaches, backaches, and
rheumatic pains are prevented, and
there will be no more poor appetite,
distress after eating, heart burn or
debility.
Ml-onna costs but so cents a box.
ana Bowditch & Webster ana Percy w.
Means will guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure. The risk is
all theirs.

Where plants immortal grow.
''Yet bloomed awhile among us,
To gain our love each day
And made us feel 80 lonely,
To SEQ her borne away.
.Yet we would not recall her,

For her to die is gain.

Her clay lies meath the sod,
May we obey tho summons,
Prepare to meet thy God"

o. II. P. MOORE
PASSES HENCE
Int Internal Injuries Received from
Accident Cause Of Death
One Of the hard.workins Pioneers Of Thi,
Section and I Man Who Had Been
II Fairly Successful in Life

'an:early hour on Monday, May 18th.
He made brave fight for life, but
medical skill and untiring work Of will
ing hands could not save him. Mr..
Moore was sufferer from appendicitis.
He had planned to submit to the sur
geon's knife some time this summer,
but an accident on Sunday, April 9Oth,
was the cause of his sudden demise.
He was thrown from one of his horses,
which he had mounted to go after his
cattle, by the saddle overturning when
the horse gave sudden jump to one
side. Mr.. Moore was badly injured,
but with his usual grit he again mounted
and proceeded on his journey. He was
taken to bed afterwards, soon became
very i'll and an examination showed
that the appendix had broken and that
his bowels were ruptured. It was a
hopeless case since the accident.
O. H. P. Moore was born in Eastern
Ohio on September 8, 1850, hence was
aged "a years, 8 months and z days.
When four years of age he moved with
his parents to Southeastern Iowa, where
he grew to manhood and where he was
married to Miss Emma johnson Feb
ruary 18, 1872. To this union seven
children were born; Chas A., Dallas
D., Eliza j., Harriet c., Verna D., Louis
H., Cora B., all Of whom, with the
mother, survive the husband and father.
All were present at the funeral, with
the exception of Harriet (Mrs. Phemis-
teri Of Straubville, who is ill.
Deceased came to Sargent county on
May IL, 1883. He lived with his family
on the old homestead until 1899, when
he moved to Oakes and interested him
self in the livery business, being later
succeeded by his sons. Of late years
he had devoted his attention to cattle
and horses. He had built up fine
home-the finest residence in North
Oakes and had just begun to enjoy the
sweets Of q life Of hard labor when he
was called away.
Apparently Mr.. Moore was of rough
exterior but at heart he was one of the
gentlest Of men. He was despiser of
hypocrisy. He believed in people living
up to what they profess, and not play
the double life Of DR.. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde which is so characteristic of many
nowadays. He was rabid prohibition
list and it has been said of him that he
did more for the temperance cause than
any other person in Cakes. Action
y always counted more with him than
Z words. Like all of us he had his faults,
but his excellent traits more than bal
anced them.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church Wednesday afternoon
at two o'clock, Rev. j. N. Loach
preaching an impressive sermon to the
living on the texts as contained in
Romans 14:10 and in Hebrews 9:2-z
shall an stand before the judg-
ment seat of God. !" ''1t is appointed
i unto all men once to die and after death
the judgment. A large procession fol
lowed the remains to the Oakes Gem
etery, where interment took place.
Teachers Examination.
Teachers examination will be held at
Glendale, Oakes and Monango, Friday
{ and Saturday, May 26th and 9th. The
Il following is the program.
