August, Me-, March aO.--1he trial Of

Mrs. Cooper, her face 50 white that it
was feared she would drop in a faint,
sat while the professor told with great
detail how he had experimental with
the skull OF her former friend. The pro
fcssor had human brain in another
reom with which the lawyers Of the
prosecution asked him To show the
course of the bullet to the jury, but q
brief adjournment was taken before it
was decided whether lie would be al.
lowed to do il.
Mrs. Cooper took occasion to get a
breath Of fresh air, and when Court con-
yened again she had collected herself.
She braeed herself for the rest Of the
awful ordeal which confronted her and

II want you to take that brain and
put ii in that skull, the same brain with
which you made your former expert

being used, saying IL was not Northey's
brain.
just previous TO this Mr.. Leigh asked
Professor Whittier II, by reason Of his
experiments, he had reached conelu-
sion as TO the parts Of the brain pierced

CARD FROM RIGKERT 8 WELLS.
Theg Liberal Offer to Treat Worst Case
of catarrh in Barre.

10 the Editor.
We have such an unusual offer to
make to your readers, one that win be
of the greatest value to them, that VIC
hope you win give this letter prominent
location.
For some time we have had an oppor-
tunity to watch the results following the
usc 81 Hyomei, treatment for catarrh
that Cures by breathing medieated air,
absolutely without any stomach dosing.
Tie result have been so remarkable that
we feel justified In making public
offer 10 treat the worst case Of catarrh
III Barre, with the understanding that
ii Hyomei does not cure IL will cost
absolutely nothing.
People who have spent a great deal Of
money with catarrh specialists, deriving
but little benefit, have seen almost i'm.
mediate good results from the use of
Hyomei. and continued treatment with
this remedy has resulted in a complete
and lasting cure.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs only
81, and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket medicine
Hdropper and bottle Of Hyomei. Should
this not be enough for a cure, extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents. Compare this small expense
with the fees charged by specialists, and
remember we guarantee the treatment
will cost nothing unless it cures.
We hope this offer will be accepted
by many Of your readers.
Very truly yours,
Rickert s Wells.

CREW HAD
WEIRD SIGHT
Saw Rescue at Sea Miles
Away in Mirage
SAILOR SAVED BY MATES
Seen as Though Unknown Bark Were but
Mile Awsy--Strange Bark Sighted
in the Morning Same as Seen
the Night Before.

New York, March 3e.--Witnessing a
rescue at sea scores of miles away in
mirage is the unusual story told by
the crew of the German sailing ship
sachren, in Wednesday after long voy-
age from Hiogo, Japan. Not only were
the smallest details of the rescue plainly
outlined in the heavens, although the
rescuing ship was invisible on the hori-
zon, but verifcaton of the phenomenon
was had the next morning when the
craft shown in the mirage went sailing
by the Sachren.
The mirage was seen in the Atlantic,
three degrees south OF the equator, an
hour before sunset. The sun was silken
in its cahaness. The air was mild and
not 'speaS OF vapor was to be seen.
II was the bo's'n who first saw the
mirage There, reflected az By a mir
ror, was four.masted bark. close
hauled on the starboard tack and head
ed southeast. The bark was cloud of
canvas to her trucks. She had painted
ports and the crew Of the Sachren aver
that they saw even the white water
which broke about her bow. The ele-
walton Of the mirage was about 10 de-
grees.
Suddenly the black sides of The ui-
known bark turned brilliant red.
Each mast seemed as big as Cnnard-
er's funnel, and her royal yards APP
peared as round as barrels. The crew
Of the German ship ran to the fo'c'sle
head dumfounded at the strange sight.
Three men were 20 be seen on the
weather quarter Of the mizzen topsail
ward. Suddenly one was seen to drop
from the yard and strike the water
with 4 splash
When the mate looked again he saw
that there were but two men aloft.
Presently the spafs were alive with
men, and il could be seen that they
were taking in canvas, and in a mo-
ment the bark wore around ON the port
tack and stood by for about Is minutes,
when she again tackled to the starboard.
All agree that when the ship was on
the port tack her hull was of even a
moro brilliant carmine than ever be-
fore. and the people on the Sachren could
see the fatlines.
The bark of the mirage cirelcd around
twice and then came up into the wind.
As clearly as though the unknown bark
was but a mile away, the men on the
Saehren could see half dozen men At
the dayits. Then the long boat was OBJ.
served floating alongside. Men entered
the boat which pulled away consid-
cradle distance and stopped. The man
in her bow then reached over the gun'Ie,
grabbed something in the water and
pulled it on board. The lifeboat then
returned to the bark, and was hoisted
on board.
Ten minutes later the rigging again
was fun Of human mites making sail.
Everything was revealed 50 closely that
the crew Of the German ship imagined
that il could hear the cries Of the
sailors ON the bark as they frightened
braces or pulled up halliards. a. dark
ness came on, the bark was seen Ia
again stand on her course to the south.

There was little sleep for The crew
OF the Saehren that night. In The
morning strange bark was sighted
to her lower yards. She drcw nearer,

Importance Of Money Question

the railroads recent scheme Of Seed Corn
Special now travelling over our state in great
style with its wined and dned professionals whose
special efforts directed to call the farmers
attention to the great interest the railroads are
taking in their behalf, by so literally providing
this palace train and great men full of railroad
enthusiasm to instruct them how to grow corn.
Blessed be the railroads. We couldn't raise corn
without their Instruction. But 1t would help out
our schools If they would pay their taxes
/ was pleased to read your leading editorial
In this weeks issue on "Cornered Money" and
hope you will continue to give the currency ques-
ton the attention its Importance should have.
AT this time-when the Macedonian cry is
coming up from Wall street for assistance from
the farmers OF the west asking them to defer
calling money from their banks for legitimate
business that they may retain the same for
speculation-should be exposed 1t is another
scheme to attract the farmers attention while
Wall street, with the assistance OF Secretary Shaw,
forces through congress some relief for the specu
ators-gambers.
AS one Of the "Old Guard" feel anxious to
have our reform papers keep constantly before
their younger readers the great Importance of
the currency question. II they neglect it Wall
street bankers will attend to it for them and
II may not be what the producers want.
