He Was Drugged,

An ambulance surgeon had curi- ous experience the. other night. He was summoned to. a police station. to examine an unconscious prisoner. The prisoner, very muddy and disheveled, lay on the floor of the cell rooms. The physician bent over and examined him and then, rising, said in loud stern voice: "This mans condition is not due to drink. He has been drugged."
 A policeman turned pale and said in a timid, hesitating voice:
 "I'm afraid yer right, sir. drugged him all the way from Carney's saloon, a matter of hundred yards or more"

TAPS HAVE BEEN SOUNDED FOR ANOTHER
 UNION SOLDIER


 UNION SOLDIER.
 Whereas our Supreme Commander has removed Comrade Amos N Nichols from all earthly scenes of activity it is hereby Resolved, that we wish to place in per manent form upon our Post Records our sense of the great loss to our organiza- ton and our tribute of respect, confidence and appreciation of our deceased com rade in arms. Comrade Nichols was always full of en- thusiasm, patriotism and loyalty to the nation and the Old Flag.
 Upon the breaking out of the Civil War he gave his services to the country he loved which resulted after seventeen months honorable service in his capture with his regiment and confinement in southern prisons for nearly eight months. Notwithstanding his sufferings he was always glad he went to the defence the country and had part in. the war of 1S61-1S65. F.. ... He was an active and loyal member of the Grand Army, served as Commander of. the Post and always had an interest in the welfare of his comrades. But. 0p1r loss is not the only one. It extends to the community in which he liveds to the church he so loved and where he was so long an active loyal member, and to his home he loved so well. .: - We extend our sympathy to the widow and family of our deceased comrade in their great sorrow. Il Resolved, that these resolutions be placed upon our records and printed in The Press and a copy sent to the family of the deceased.

Nichols, the mortal man, is no more, but the fraternal spirit, the strong character, the diligent life, the generous heart, the loyal brother the worthy citizen, influences powerful and 0uuurluS dDluC WlCu -,uS, aHu WILL ever brighten and strengthen our memory of one who came into our lodge, our com munity, our country in the years and strength of young manhood. Time will demonstrate the loss of this life to our lodge. our community and the world .y~ We know his zeal, his devotion, his ever-generous response to every interest of our lodge.
 We mourn the loss of a worthy Mason, a valuable citizen, a noble brother.

In ten days an agent OF the agricultural
department had sent word that he had
found in Siberia an alfalfa which would
grow where tho mercury went down 20 40
degrees below zero. Said Mr. Wilson:
I'VE wanted dry land crops and that ~
what we have found. That variety OF
alfalfa is coming 10 the United states.
That is one OF tho most interesting things
that has been brought 10 my attention
during the past year"
Among other things that Mr. Wilson
told his auditors were that 1880 0o copies
OF reports by special agricultural agents
were being sent out by his department for
the education OF the people: that the
farmers were so prosperous that they
were putting money In tho banks and
sending their boys and girls 10 college.
and would have 10 buy automobiles or
md some other way OF getting rid OF
their wealth. and that through modern
machinery and methods one farmland in
this country could DO as much work as
900 Cinnamon, and as a result rice was be-
ing produced 80 cheaply in the United
states that 100000 pounds OF Il were ex-
ported last year, some OF IL 20 rice grow

The action OF the heart de-
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or ex-
hausted, and fail TO furnish
sufficient power, the heart flut-
ters, palpitates, skips beats;
and in its effort to keep up it's
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shoul-
ders. The circulation is inn

suffers from lack of nourish-
