Dead" Woman
Came to Life

While relatives were weeping
over her coffin and bemoauing hei
death, Mrs Fred Hsrtzell, a Ger
man woman, living near Kenova,
suddenly sat up this aftern Don,
then proceeded to climb out of her
coffin, at the same time telling the
assembled friends and kinfolk not
to weep longer that she YVES as
much alive as ever. Seeing the
lips of the supposedly dead woman
move in speech and her body NOV
ing from the confines of the casket
in which it had been placed, the
people present were terror stricken
and rushed from the house, using
doors and windows as means OF
exit
Mrs. Hartzsll then proceeded to
smooth her hair, loosen her cloth
ing, then gave orders for the re.
moval of the funeral equipment,
Then she went about her ordinary
household tasks, taking the who'll.
event in a philosophical German
way.
Mrs. Hsrtzell was taken sudden.
ly sick about a week ago. Her
husband is a farmer of limited
means and could not supply her
with proper medical attendance.
Yesterday she appeared to be dead
and preparations for burial were
made at once. Survived by mum.
Der of children and with many
friends, the funeral was being
largely attended when Mrs, Hart.
zsll suddenly came back to life.
Neighbors still fight shy of the
house, fearing what they term q
"hant" in connection with the APP
parent phenomenon 1t is now
known that Mrs. Hartzell went
into death-like swoon. No repu-
table physician being present, she
was considered dead Huntington

The Cost of Living.

Do you know how much more
on the average it costs you to live
than it did in 1862 Bradstreet's
Commercial Agency, which keeps
account of the ups and downs of
the price of commodities has ans
wersd the question in the last is.
sue which ssys: Compared with
the low level set on July l, 1896,
the gain is 54.8 per cent" So if
it cost you 500 a month to live
then, it now cost you over Sl54.
The protected trusts are the chief
cause of high prices and there
seems to be determination by the
dominant political party to refuse
to revise the tariff which protects
the trusts and prevents oompeti-
ton. If the Republican party
wins in the coming national elect
ion, the leaders will declare that it
is an endorsement of the tariff pol.
10y of protecting the trusts and
there can be but little relief from
trust high prices as long as the tar
if protects them. AS large profits
have induced the trust to manu-.
faoture more than the people oan
consume, the surplus is sold
abroad at bargain prices. Why
should not the American people
participate in these bargains the
trusts sell to foreigners.

He Put the Money Into
Circulation.

OobJamlu 0lstI young mnh
from Falls City, Neb, spent $40.
600 in one week at st. Joseph, Mo.
Gist did not spend the money in
reality, but give it away. 1t is
doubtful if he received any benefit
from the money at all, he simply
'sowed it to the Wind" literally
and figuratively.
II am going to put a lot of mon.
ey into circulation" young Gist
said to the driver of the carriage he
had hired the first day he started
Gist's manner of distributing the
$4,000 was vastly different from
that of most y ung men who have
large sum of money to spend in a
short time He did not visit the
gambling houses or drink any.
A few months ago an uncle Of
Benjamin Gist died and left him q
legacy of $4,000 1t was his I'M.
cle's entire fortune, and was all in
money. The uncle had no wife OF
children of his own. and Gist was
his favorite of all his nephews and
nieces.
Young Gist was not of age IT the
time the fortune was left to him
and an another uncle was appoint.
ed by the Court to take charge Of
it. The guardian talked about di
viding the money among his oous-
ins, saying they were as much en-
titled to it as be.
"Go ahead and divide ii" esid
Gist
The guardian could do nothing
however, but hand him over the
money In the meantime Gist b.
came of age aud the money wat
paid over to him. By that tim,
his cousins, unoles and aunts were
quarreling about the division of
the fortune.
The quarrel became 30 fierce
that Gist tired of it, and declared
unles it ceased he would II give
any of them a share of the fortune
He went to Atohinson county to
visit an aunt and ask her advice
about dividing the sum, and with
the result that she wanted the gres
ter share of it for her own Children.
The quarrel about the fortune
continued, and young Gist slipped
quietly away from his home. He
secured draft for $4,000 and de.
posted it in one of the banks in
st Joseph. His relatives knew
nothing of his intention. In fact
nobody but himself knew anything
about it. When he told the driver
of the carriage he had hired that
he intended to place a large sum OF
money in circulation, the drive,
niled, He thought that young
Gist was going on protraoted
spree.
The young man started in by
driving to the bank land drawing
out $1,000 in gold. Gist then OF.
dpred the driver to take him to that
part of the city where poor people
could be found. With his overooat
pockets filled with ten and twenty
dollar gold pieces, he went FROM
house to house. where he surprised
the inhabitants by opening the
doors and throwing gold pieces in
to the rooms.
Several times he drove to where
he saw crowd on the streets and
threw handful of gold pieces in.
to the crowd. The young man de-
cla'es that he threw away the en-.
tire $4,000 dollars in that way,
Many people went to him and
wanted to borrow money, but he
would not allow them to take it on
any terms. Many efforts were made
to interest him in various schemes,
but he was shy of impostors of all
kinds, and could not be inveigled
into anything that might result in
his money being won from him by
unfair means.
