Death Claims Another Victim.

Mrs. Arvilla Wachter, the II
year old daughter of Albert
Wachter, ten miles north of the
city, died last Saturday night at
9 o'clock with symptoms of spot
ted fever, She was only sick 7
hours.
1t appears she had been to a
dance at Merna the night pre-
vious and returned home in the
morning about 5 o'clock. She
was taken violently i'll about 2
O'Clock in the afternoon and died
the same evening.
AS her symptoms were similar
to those of Howard Athey and
Alta Swick it is reported she
died with the same disease, that
took them off a week previous.
This, however, is contradicted,
as other complications were
present.

Twenty-three Years Ago.

I'he following items werS pub
lished i'll the REPUBLICAN %
years ago:
IS. a. Holcomb has completed
his new Office and residence north
of the clerks Office" At that
time the clerks Office was on the
corner where the Chief Office is
now located and Holcombs office
and residence mentioned above
was a little frame building
about 12x16 in which he had his
office and sleeping apartments.
Since then he has been Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court,
District Judge and Governor of
Nebraska and is now located at
Seattle, Washington, where his
family has or will move soon from
Lincoln.
Golf, who was pronounced in
sane at the last term of court
was sent to Lincoln last week.
He was taken there by Dept.
Sheriff J. p. Candy and e. f.
Mcclure, at an expense of about
800. 1t seems he has been grow
ing worse since his first examina-
ton in May, and for the safety
of his family, neighbors and self
it was deemed advisable to con-
fine him. This makes the third
time he has been placed in the
asylum.
J. Nj. Dooley arrived here last
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Dooley
Monday morning set the carpen-
tiers to work on his new residence
southeast of Gandys double store
building.
J. S. Kirkpatrick was employ
ed as county attorney by the
board at salary of 500 to be
paid in three equal installments.
The citizens of Broken Bow
offered the board of directors of
the Agricultural Society, ten
acres of ground fenced, a build
ing 20X30 for exhibits, necessary
pens, stalls, hay and water on
the grounds for all stock to hold
the fair at Broken Bow Septem-
Der, 1888. The board rejected
the offer by a vote 3 for Broken
Bow and s for Westerville. The
society leased from Westervelt
20 acres of ground for $50 for
fair ground and track. A. w.
Squires was president of the
society at that meeting and J. A.
Armour, secretary.
An extended report of the sui
eide of Gus Bayerhoffer, of Dry
Valley, who cut his own throat
because Eva Bowers rejected his

GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE.
Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful
Possibilities.

There was a travelling man." said
the night operator, whose wife pre-.
sented him with a son while he was
out drumming up trade. The doctor
got the mans address, and, since his
wife was doing none too we'll, wrote
out a message giving him the news
and telling him to return.
"The doctor gave the message to
the cook, who couldn't read. She
forgot to send 1t, and the next day the
drummer came home Of his own ac-
cord.
"He stayed day or two, found his
wife doing all. right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing. as 1t hap
pened, was said about the forgotten
telegram.
And at the end of the week the
telegram was remembered by the
cook. With an exclamation of horror
you know she couldn't read-she
hurried to the office and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got 1t that night he was terrified.
What he read was this:
"'Another addition-a son; your
wife very i'll; return at once
"He took the midnight train for
home. He was like man In trance.
Another he kept muttering In q
dazed voice. Tmpossible!'
"On getting home he was so reliev-
ed when everything was explained to
him that he decided not tn Are the
cook, after all"

ReceptioO Was Costly.

Mrs. Augustus Heaton, Of Washing
ton, some time ago changed from the
Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give reception
In honor of the bishop of her diocese.
She decided, however, that her already
famous drawing-room was not suffi-
ciently resplendent to serve as a place
OF reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
was yet time in which to make the
room more attractive and Nine. Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out Of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and Q few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry, but that was
not enough for a reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.

GARFIELD COMING HERE.
Writes to President Of South Nc
Alester Chamber of Commerce.

Writes to President Of South Nc
Alester Chamber Of Commerce.
South McAlester, I. T.-At last
there is hope ahead for the Indian
Territory. President Fuller Of the
Chamber OF Commerce of this city
has 1t officially from heaquarters
that James II. Garfield, the next
secretary OF the interior, will visit
tho Indian Territory and inquire into
conditions at first hand in the state
where his dictum will be the court
OF last resort for year to come.
In a letter to Mr.. Fuller, Mr.. Gar
field says: II shall most certainly
spend great deal of time in these
parto of the west with which the in
terror department has to do"
Mr.. Garfeld's letter was written
In reply to one received by him from
President Fuller urging him to
make a personal investigation OF the
Indian question before coming to
decide his policy in the new state.
It Is said that since Garfield's ap-
pointment in the interior department
was announced, he has been flooded
with letters denouncing Hitchcock
and Hitchcockism in unmeasured
terms as the source and the origin
Of all of the Territory's evils.

A DOCTORS TRIALS.
He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other
People.

Even doing good to people is hard
work if you have too much of 1t to do.
No one knows this better than the
hard-working, conscientious family
doctor. He has troubles of his own
often gets caught in the rain or snow,
or loses so much sleep he sometimes
gets out of sorts. An overworked
Ohio doctor tells his experience:
About three years ago as the result
of doing two mems work, attending a
large practice and looking after the
details of another business, my health
broke down completely, and was lit
tie better than physical wreck.
Il suffered from Indigestion and
constipation, loss OF weight and appe-
tite, bloating and pain after meals,
loss OF memory and lack of nerve
force for continued mental applica-
ton.
Il became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tation during the first hour of two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit l got more satisfaction from 1t
than from anything l had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and a sprinkle of
salt or sugar.
MY Improvement was rapid and
permanent In weight as well as in
physical and mental endurance. In a
word. l am filled with the joy of liv-
Ing again. and continue the daily use
of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often
for the evening meal

never used commercial fertilizers In an
apple orchard II the ground Is too
poor TO produce apples. nothing Is bet
ter than barnyard manure. which an
swers every purpose for a mulch or
for enriching the ground. In planting
an apple orchard the ground should be
farmed every year for about ten years
growing such crops as potatoes, truck
etc, so that the ground VIII get ma

growth OF the apple trees and fruit.
