Women At A Premium

The residents Of Jackson, Wy,
have sent out an appeal through
the press for women to teach school
and render other help. They say
all the teachers who come there
marry so soon that the schools Of
ten have to be closed, while femi-
nine help Of any kind is impossible
to keep for the same reason.
According to the United Ststes
Census of 1900. Wyoming had the
smallest proportion Of unmarried
women to its population Of any
state in the Union. And In Wy
oming women have had full suf-
frage for the last 81 years. Yet
the opponents of equal rights con-
tinue to assure us that if women
were allowed to vote it would be
the destruction of love and matrl-
mony.-Ex.

ian Palyinic, who lived with his
wife Just outside the city limits,
strolled into the police station here
to-day and calmly informed the
sergent that he had killed his wife
early this morning. The man. who

remarkable story. He said:
"About two years ago my wife

W.W.aodaard Dead.

The following death notins from
the Lexington, Iii. Unit, was sent
to US by Mrs Joy Goddard. of Chi
cago, III, with the request that we
publish it for the benefit of friends
and relatives in this county. We
take pleasure in complying, though
we know not who the relatives are.
Wesley w Goddard, the younger
son Of Abbott and Elizabeth God
dard, was born OH a farm a mile
northwest Of Lexington. Ill, March
IA, 1849.
Almost all Of his life he has
spent within mile Of the site of
the log cabin in which he was born
81 years ago.
The subject Of this sketch was
raised on the farm and the hard
ships were we'll known to him.
His father was a doctor, who was
we'll and widely known on account
of his service to his fellowmen.
Too young TO enlist in the war
of Rebellion, the boy remained at
home where there was an enormus
amount of work to be done.
On Sept IL, 1872, Mr. Goddard
and Miss Sarah Gray were united
in marriage. She was a daughter
Of DR. and Mrs Chas Gray.
They remained on the farm until
1885 when they moved to town,
where he engaged in business. lie
retired in broken health after eley-
en- years.
The first wife had died on Au.
gust 10, 1892, preceded by two OF
their nine children. The seven
who survive their father are Misses
Leila. Ethel, Joy and Mildred, and
Charles, RAYMOND and Eugene.
In 1894 Mr. Goddard Rand Miss
Elizabeth Blagg were married
Their two children, Master Mar.
shall and Miss Blanche, also sur
vive their father.
For the past seven or eight years
Mr. Goddard had been failing in
health, especially during the past
two years.
He was a lover Of nature and
out-of-door life, and made hunting
and fishing trips to many parts OF
the country.
To the very last he spent most
of his time out Of doors. When he
gave up his life it was at the very
spot where he was wont to sit and
watch the days come and 60. tie
lived and died out-of-doors.
On the day of his death Mr. God
dard had been down town twice.
He was in the best Of spirits and
friends noticed that he seemed to
be much better than usual. About
three o'clock he started to town
for the second time since dinner
and had gone but short distance
when he felt that hemorrhage
was about to set in. He returned
to tie house where he expired q
few minutes later.
The funeral was held from his
late residence at 2:30 P M Saturday,
All of his children and brothers
and children were in attendance.
Rev j N Northrup, Of Streator, a
former pastor and very particular
friend, conducted the services, az
sisted by Rev VIM Woolley, pastor
of the NJ E church. The body was
laid to rest in the Lexington ceme-
terry.
The relatives and friends from
out of town who attended the fun
eral are Capt and Mrs John Eson,
Kankakee, Mr. and Mrs Benz Eson
and two sons, Freeport; Mr. and
Mrs VIM Smith, Streator; P X Wal

EATEN OUT OF
 HOUSE AND HOME,
How a Confirmed Dyspeptic Developed An Appetite Like a COrn-husker's
 and Cleaned Out Everything in Sight.

The wife of a leading druggist of Des Moines tells how her brother was changed from a dyspeptic without ap- petite to prodigious eater.
 My brother. who is lawyer in Chicago, came to visit me and hardly knew him on his arrival he was so thin and run down. I had not seen him for years and was much alarmed at his appearance. He told me not to wor- ry as he had been In this condition for years as a result of chronic dys- pepsia. I asked him what he had done for it, and he said he had done every thing-taken every remedy he had ever heard of and consulted doctors without number. none of them helped him. l asked him if he ever took Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and he said he hadn't and what was more he wouldn't. He had sworn off taking medicine of any kind
 T had my husband bring home a box from the store and I actually made kim take one or two of the tablets af- ter he had eaten. They made him feel so much better that he offered no fur ther objection. He had not taken the box before he was greatly improved and three or four boxes cured him of dyspepsia and gave him wonderful appetite. He came near eating us out of house and home. My, but 1t did me good to see him eat. He gained fif- teen pounds before he returned home. and he writes me that he has not hcen troubled with dyspepsia since"
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They relieve weak and overburdened stom- achs of their work of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and se- cretions of the stomach and they simply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as good. strong healthy stomach would do it.
 On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. they them selves digest tho food and supply the system with all the nourishment con tained in what is eaten and carry out Natures pans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus relieving the stomach of its work. en- able to 1t recuperate and regain its nor nal health and strength Nature re- pairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals and knits the bone of a broken limb. which Is of course not used during the process or repair.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Ttblets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents box. One box will frequently effect per- feet cure.

Tt is evident that you are not the owner of this house?"
 she shook her head--a fair, graceful head. with hair like the silk Of corn.
 sF'isherfolk live here. They are ab- sent now on an errand for me"
 The wind screeched around the cabin; the boughs of the hornbeam tree rattled against the chimney Wlth sudden resolution he man spoke:
 q am his excellency's secretary.
 She turned and flashed on him two wide blue eyes
 "Ah! the man who will wed the gov ernor's niece tomorrow
 "Pardon-the man who will wed the aoyernor's ntece-ueveTi Miss Wins low has thrown me over for a happleTT T lover. Two marriages were arrangeu fo the governors house on Ne" Years morning-neither will be cele- brated."
 She looked gravely perplexed
 q am also a wanderer tonight, she said. sadly, land, worse yet. l am a stranger in a strange, inhospltaple land"
 Then" replied the secretary there is but one name by which l can call you. You are-you must be, the Eng Iish maid, Miss Keppei? Though when I left the governors dwelling l supposed that lady to be safely housed there To encounter her miles away in a fisherman's hut. and at this hour' seems strange beyond belief.
 q am lost on the marshes, ST. she said, with quiet dignity.
 And why did you leave the gov ernor? But I see! Pakenham con fessed the truth to you even as MISS Winslow did to me"
 Not so; 1 needed no confession she answered, bitterly. "At the har- bor he failed to meet me. was lett to make the journey alone, almost to the governors gate.
 "No. I sent my maid to demand sneech with Pakenham. He could not he found-he had vanished. waited for no words with the governor. While he and his household fancied me to De resting from my journey I put on this cloak. took my purse and jewels, and stole with my maid from the house. We thought to make our way to the harbor and there seek ship ready for sea, but in the darkness we missed the road, and found ourselves astray Tn the marshes. My maid was overcome with fright, and wept and walled so much that I permitted her to turn back; but myself continued on alone"
 "Alone!" echoed the secretary. with a vivid remembrance of the marsh by night. you have brave heart"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-03-25

Suddenly the secretary arose and pushed back his chair.
 Miss Keppel." he said. T omitted to tell you one trihing incident in my own story--I have killed Captain Pa- kenham"
 She sat as if turning to stone. You said a moment ago that when you sent for him at the govarnor's s house he could not be found.

I have rid you of that for- tune hunter-that blind mole. who could prefer Margaret Winslow to you!"
 started to her feet and took a step after him.
 "oh, sir. what would you do-where you'd you go?"
 Back to the governor--to surrender myself and take my punishment like man."
 She tried to bar his way with im- ploring hands.
 "Oh. sir, stay!--continue your flight! No one shall know that you have been here-that I have seen you. Do not surrender yourself. Colonial judges have little mercy-they will de- mand life for life. Pray. pray. lis- ten to mev'
 He looked at her with a smile.
 You pity me,-that is sweet. But will not fly further"
 Argument seemed to fail her. Her hands fell at her side.
 Then, If you go back, I will go with you-that is, if you will accept my poor company. I will plead your cause with the governor After all that has happened, he owes me some considera- ton. Maybe we can reach the town before the Old Year dies"
 Come, then" said the secretary. "and God bless you for a brave and generous maidt"
 
 His excellency was walking his council chamber in great disturb ance of mind. The house was still all sounds of festivity had long since died in 1t.
 Steps sounded in the corridor, and as the maid opened the door. his ex- cellency saw on the threshold two dis- heveled, snow-covered figures, like spectors blown out of darkness.
 What! Have you dared to come back, sirrah?" he cried, and fum- bled for his gold snuff-box
 "Yes," answered tho secretary. Ito take my punishment"

child who was dear notwithstanding her needless ways.
 Few girls stop to think that they have a gold mine in their school text books. They know that they must devote time and attention to them and that they are the stepping stones to culture girl would be very Beyond this. too. school books possess something of the value that other refer ence books do in library. After you have left school you may some day be in company with traveller or an explorer who has seen strange things In the heart of Africa or has ventured into distant regions in another zone. You can converse with him more in- telligentiy and get more profit from his fascinating talk than would other wise be possible, if you have at your hand a school geography and an atlas You may be reading the daily paper, and there you may find that war Is threatened with a s foreign country. You will turn to your school history and learn in few moments something about that country, and its relations with the rest of the globe. You will go back to the, newspaper with school book over other books is that as have already said. 1t Is condensed and clear and 1t omits superffuous comment on the part of It's author and confines itself to actual facts.
 Of course you are interested in the study of nature. This is very popu- lar at the moment. and promises to be more than a passing fad You have the latest botany and the latest zoology among your books You will find them helpful after awhile as side lights on large and delightful class of books that will tempt you in spring and summer on excursions out of doors, either to the geological gardens to inspect strange animals and rep- tiles, or to the wide fields to gather flowers and woo from Nature herself the story of her exquisite secrets.
 Be careful of your books. Dorothy. To take admirable care of books, so far as the outside Is concerned, Is the hall-mark of lady. To know a good deal about the inside of books, to rev. erence them as they deserve, and to prize them as the finest treasures money can buy, are also hall-marks of those who belong to the best classes in civilization.
