week ago to attend the funeral of
his brother, Herman, in st. Paul,
MINI. On arriving there the doc
tor found one of his nieces very
ill and within three hours after he
reached the home of his brother

was a man about go years of age,
and when here a few months ago,

the probate caurt in this city, by
Will Holiday, for the appoint

the appointment of a new guardian
will not be contested. The Mis-

An exchange says: "Limburger
cheese laid away in cupboards will
drive away ants" Verify I say
unto you, it will drive dogs out of
a tan yard; 1t will drive buzzards
away from a carcass, it will drive
a herd of buffalo through a burn
ing forest and a mule through a
barbed wire fence; it will drive
men crazy if compelled to stay
within twenty feet of it's polluted
presence; indeed it will drive
away ants-and uncles, too, and
mothers and fathers, brothers, sis
tiers and grandmothers, even to
the seventh generation. Still there
are some people who claim to like
Limburger.

once to live in our little city, where
she at once made many friends as
she was a most estimable woman.
The Tribune records her early de-
mise with genuine sorrow and
