sic and an address by the pastor, Dr..

GROVER COATES DROWNED.
Went Swimming With Crowd
Sunday Afternoon.
NOT MISSED BY COMPANIONS
Body Recovered in the Evening ane
Brought to the clty-coroner
Deems Inquest Unnecessary.

That boy had drowned In the quar-
ry dump pond was the word received
at police headquarters about seven
O'Clock on Sunday evening. Officer
Riddle was sent to the place and re-
turned soon with the lifeIess body Of
Grover Coates. He was taken to
Wilens undertaking rooms where the
body was prepared for burial and later
taken to the home Of his mother.
1t seems that in the afternoon the
excessive heat drew about sixty boys
to the pond to battle They went in
swimming as boys usually do, leaving
their clothes scattered about the bank
promiscuously. Some could swim and
some could not. Those who could not
tried to learn by throwing railroad
tie in and floating around on it, pad
ding as they went.
Some time during the afternoon two
boys became engaged in fight, which
took place back of the swimming hole
The other boys went to look on while
Grover Coates remained padding
about on his railroad tie, for he was
one who could not swim. The crowd
returned presently when it was no
ticed by some one that Grover was
gone. Nothing was thought of it, and
naturally his clothes were not missed
;yao &c +hapn y.
ments scattered around on the ground.
Harry Dicks, who could swim, float
ed on the log and tried some fancy
work. He hung down from one end
of the log and as he did so he touched
something that felt like a human
body He spoke of it to a companion,
but thought no more of it until abou,
seven O'Clock when he was returning
home and saw the mother of Grover
hurrying up the track. 1t dawned on
him that the body he stepped on must
have been that of young Coates. He
returned to the place and pointed il
out and boy named Linneberger
dove in and located the body.
1t was brought to the surface and
arranged on the ground. The matter
had spread through the town and a
crowd of fully hundred people had
collected. Charles Keesecker came
out with his team and on request of
officer Riddle he took the body to
Wilens undertaking rooms. Coroner
Colston was notified and after making
an investigation decided that an in
quest was unnecessary.
1t is supposed that while he was
diving about in the water he became
fastened in the mud and no one being
about to help him drowned before he
could free himself.
The boy was about Is years of age
and lived with his mother at 219
South High street. His father, who
was employed at the quarry, lost his
life last summer by stone rolling
over him.
The body will be taken to Bunker
Hill for burial, the services taking
place at 10 clock Tuesday morning.

1he reason tChy "GOlden medical DlS-

affections, is clearly shown in little
book Of extracts from the standard

To aid in healing old sores, or ulcers,
Iapply DR.. Pierce's All-Healing Salve to

Discovery" to purify and enrich the blood.
DIR. Pierce's All Healing Salve is
cleansing and pain relieving. 1t de-
stroys the bad odors arising from sup
lpurating, or running, sores and puts
them in the best possible condition for
healing.
The "All-Henling Salve is superior
dressing for all open, running, or sup

Iopen wounds, cuts and scratches it is
unsurpassed.
If your medicine dealer does not have
the "All-Healing Salve" in stock mail
so cents in postage stamps to DR.. r. v.
Pierce, Buffalo, n, Y, and you will
receive it by return post.
In treating all open sores, or ulcers,
'boils, carbuncles and other swellings, it
is important that DR.. Plerce's Golden
Medical Discovery be taken persistently
to purify the blood and thereby remove
the cause Of the trouble, Ii is in the
blood that the great battle of health has
to be fought. The ulcer and the sore
ere simply the scarlet flowers of disease,
with roots running down into the blood.
These roots must be eradlcated or the
disease will break out afresh. "Golden
Medical Discovery" cleanses the blood
of all foul and poisonous accumulations,
pushes out the dead and waste matter,
and thus purifies the entire life current.
Disease in the flesh must die out when
it is no longer fed by foul blood.
lw wGolden Medical Discovery" effectively
cures disease in the flesh by curing its
cause in the blood.
Not less marvellous, in the unparal-
Ileled cures it is constantly making of
woman's many peculiar affections,
weaknesses and distressing derange-
ments, is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion, as is amply attested by thousands
of unsolicited testimonials contributed

Nursing mothers and burdened

vised for their special benefit. Nursing
mothers will find it especially valuable
