DANGERS FROM DYSPEPSIA.
imperfect Digestion Most Pl

Imperfect Digestion Most Prolific
Cause of Serious Disease.
While health reports do not give in
digestion as cause of death, yet it so
Weakens the stomach and the whole
system that it makes one readily sus-
ceptible to serious illness.
II you have distress after eating, a
feeling of heaviness in the stomach,
nervousness. dizziness. nausea, head
ache or any other symptoms OF indi-
gestion, begin the use of Mio-na at
once and get well.
Mi-o-na will give such strength and
Tone to the whole digestive system that
you can eat anything at any time with
out fear of distress or indigestion.
G. A. Parcher has so much faith in
Its superior merits, that he gives a
guarantee with every h0-cent box of
Mi-o-na that the remedy will cost
nothing unless 1t cures.

DEER ISLE VESSEL LOST.

Captain Herbert Bray and william
Jarvis Drowned.
The Deer Isle schooner Marshall Perrin
was wrecked on Wood island, near Bidde-
ford, last Thursday night, and Capt. Her
bert P. Bray, and William Jarvis, cook,
both of Deer Isle, were drowned. John
Burke, of New Bedford, Mass, mate, was
saved.
When the storm broke the little craft
was anchored near Richmond's island.
The chains parted and she driited onto
Wood island, soon going to pieces. The
captain and cook lost their lives while at
tempting to fight their way to shore
through the breakers. Burke was cast up
by shigh wave and saved himself.
The sea was too heavy for the three men
to think of launching boat while they
were being blown from Richmond's island
to Wood island, distance of eight miles,
and so they stood upon the bowsprit
ready Tor the first chance of reaching
shore. They leaped when the schooner
struck, but Burke was the only one to sur
viye the breakers. He says the captain
and cook probably struck the rocks and
were rendered unconscious.
The keeper of Wood island light hoisted
signal to the crew Of the Fletcher's
Neck life-saving station at Biddeford
Pool, but in the thick weather the signal
was not observed until daybreak. Then
the ife-saving crew went to the island, but
could do nothing except set watch for
the bodies of the captain and cook along
the shore of the island. The body of
Capt. Bray was found Friday afternoon.
Capt. Bray is survived by widow and
five children. He was about thirty-five
years old. Jarvis leaves a widow and one
child. He was about sixty-five. The
schooner, which was valued at 81 500, was
owned by Capt. Bray and relatives. The
schooner was light, bound from Bridge
port, Ct, to Rockland.
The Marshall Perrin was built at Lees
burg, N. j., in 1853, and was of 149 gross
tonnage.

Getting Around a Difficulty .

An instructor in certain boys school is
noted among his pupils for his difficult
examination questions. One of the youth
full students, after struggling over par
ticularly strenuous list of questions in
geography, came upon the following
query, which completely stumped him:
"Name twelve animals of the polar re-
gions."
The youngster scratched his head,
thought hard for many minutes, and
finally, under the spell of sudden inspira
tion he wrote:
uSix seals and six polar bears"
The professor was so pleased with his
pupils cleverness that he marked his
paper 100 per cent.

Lynchbnrg, n. D.. March ~. To The
Forum: The very latest movement in
saugurated BY q prominent mail order
house of Chicago TO curry favor with
the farming community is decidedly in
.teresting and i'll some respects peculiar.
The Chicago cataioguers referred to pay
II per cent interest on all moneys de-
posted with them BY the farmers.
\. The rates at Chicago banks Tor time
money, that is thirty, sixty or ninety
day loans, is S to- 5Is, per cent, and this
lis a decidedly high rate for Chicago
call loans, that is money payableon de-
mand, are very much lower. &3 &
If you would go to the banks, with
which this firm SIS in the habit Of doing
in Chicago looking for inter-
est on your money, YOU would probably
be able Ato purchase certificates of de-
post. that would pay you, say q per cent
interest. You might keep yonrs money
in the savings bank at 8 per cent per
anntim. but Iii is very doubtful if you
could get more than i. to ~ per cent
on balances iii Chicago banks. Il 4 !: +
Chicago banks have large cash re-
sources and they are lending money to
their customers as stated before at S
TO 5La per cent. This firm, which is
credited very strong financially, should
be able to borrow all the money at S
per cent; it is not the habit Of this
firm to pay high prices for anything !;
in fact, they usually find a way to get
their goods at very low figures. Why
