Early Day Happenings
80. In Phoebe .-

a measure OF satisfaction. 1t is
with the hope of entertaining
our readers that we indulge in
the following retrospection:
From The Record published
thirty-six years ago today, June
18th, 1871, we have CLEANED
these items of news. The Rec
cord at that time was published
twice each week-on Sundays
and Thursdays and was fur
nished to its expectant readers
at the very moderate rate of So
per annum.
In this issue is an editorial adj
vising an issue Of bonds to build
a court house, and an item about
meeting held on the previous
Friday to consider a location for
the court house and other county
buildings.
The editor says: Last Mon
day we paid a visit to the scene
of General Conner's operations
at Marshall Springs, to see them
making pipe for water works to
supply Phoebe with water. Pipe
laying had begun and it was ex-
pected that next Saturday water
would be in the pipe at the sum-
NIT two and a half miles from
Phoebe. A large number of men
were employed. Logs seven
and a half feet in length were
converted into pipe in two min
utes by a boring machine.
A fire in Chinatown last Tues
day furnished the text for an
urgent warning to the citizens
against fire.
The Pioneer Hooks" had APP
pointed a committee to solicit
subscriptions to purchase a
truck.
On June IL and Id Wells,
Fargo & Co. had shipped out,
via Salt Lake. 1886. 465. 96 in bull
lion.
To those of us who have been
congealing with cold recently, it
IS consoling to be informed that
the weather has been excessively
warm the past week, the mer-
curry ranging between 80 and "a
degrees.
We are also pleased to note
that relief came from this op-
pressive heat every night.
The prediction appears that
from present appearances the
Fourth will be celebrated in
Phoebe"
The remaining data are taken
The Record of June Ia, 1872,
which was then being published
three times every week-Sun-
DAYS. Wednesdays and FridavS
subscription SO annually.
Commencement of the suit for
1927 of the whole value of the
Raymond & Ely Mine by the
holders of the old Panaca claim
IS generally denounced as a
Matchmaking or bearing oper-
alton. 1t has not affected the
price of Ely stock, which has
steadily advanced since the suit
was commenced.
Announcement appears that
for 81 you can secure a bath at
the Grand Hotel" All were adj
vlsed to go and patronize Mrs.
Pyle, who apparently had very
good thing at 81 per.
A telegram had been received,
stating that hose carriage and
hose were on the way to Phoebe
by Pritchards Fast Freight, and
would probably arrive Monday.
This would make five days in
transit from Palisade to Phoebe.
distance 260 miles. A copy of
this issue with this paragraph
plainly marked in blue pencil
will be sent to the general
freight office on the Clark road. |
Pritchard had agreed to bring
these things through in fast
freight time at slow freight
rates. Let us hope that rail
roads that bring things through
in slow freight time at fast
freight rates will take a bunch
from Prltchard and his mules.

Mr.. Eckels replied to Mr.. Glllen. he

did not understand why the people who

did not strike at the root of the evil, ana
do away with the public school. BY de-

woMAN's DEATH MYSTERIOUS.
Ashland Coroner's Jury Finds Signs of
MISUNDERSTANDING Lacking.

ASHLAND. Wis, Feb. 26.-The sud
den death of Mrs. Robert Burns was
attended with such suspicious circum-
stances that a coroner's jury was en-
paneIed by the district attorney to hold
an inquest.
1t was discovered that Mrs. Burns
body contained a number of serious
bruises.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
that Mrs. Burns death was caused by
a shock of some kind the nature of
which was unknown and that the
husband was negligent in not securing
immediate medical attendance when
he discovered his wife in an unconscious
condition. For the injuries on her bo nf
the doctors thought that they might
have been caused by fall.
According to the husbands story ne
found her sitting on the, steps OF a
building near his home and she was then
unconscious. from which condition she
never recovered. A doctor was not
called until some time later When sonn ,t
neighbors had assembled and they sent
for medical aid.

ADMIT ERROR WAS MADE,
Refund of 1898 to the State Authorized
by Authorities of Waupaca
Home.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 26.-[ Special.
The investigation into the affairs of the
Waupaca Wisconsin Veterans Home at
Waupaca have disclosed that during last
month report was made by the officers
of the institution in which a refund to
the state of 1898 was authorized to COW
er certain errors in the pay roll At
least one alleged error in the account
between the home and the federal gov
eminent has also been corrected, it is
stated.
Capt. Smith. who is in the city pre-
pairing his testimony to present to Gov.
Davidson, asserted that every one of the
charges he has made covering the mus
ter rolls and the drawing of pay from the
home are sustained by the examination
of the vouchers In the office of the secre-
tary of state. Capt. Smith is securing
affidavits from former inmates covering,
as he asserts, similar cases. The fact
that a return authorization was made
by the home officials, to cover, as is
stated. the case of Capt. Smith and his
wife, IS commented upon as indicating
what by some is considered lax business
methods.
1t is the practice of the officials in
charge of the home to withhold from the
pensions received by the inmates the sum
of 81 quarterly as clothing fund and
to rebate to those who fail to use the full
amount whatever sum remains This
practice has led to no end of protest from
some of the pensioners, and as near as
can be ascertained, is the basis for much
of the recurring trouble at the institu-
ton.
The charges made by Capt. Smith this
time take on a new phase in that they
cover new subject which concerns the
management of the home. 1t is be-
lieved that the officials will be called
upon to explain the charges made and to
account for what now appears to be an
error il bookkeeping methods.

US. DlSPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Contained in Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it to be an
effective remedy for chronic catarrh?
Have we abundant proof that Pc
runa is in reality such a catarrh
remedy? Let us see what the Unit
ed States Dispensatory says Of the
principal ingredients Of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is
largely employed in the treatment Of
depraved mucous membranes, chron-
ic rhinitis (nasa1 catarrh), atomic
dyspepsia (catarrh Of the stomach),
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
faundice (catarrh Of the 1iver), and
IN diseased mucous membranes Of
the pelvic organs. It is also recon-
mended for the treatment of various!
forms Of disease peculiar to women
Another ingredient of Peruna,
corydalis formosa, is classed in the
On1LGu SLdLSS oASPShSdLO1J
tonic So also is cubebs classed as a!
stomachic and as tonic for the mu-
cous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that
has been very largely overlooked by
the medical profession for the past,
fifty years. The seeds are to be;
found in very few drug stores. The
United States Dispensatory says Of
Che action of cedron that it is used
as bitter tonic and in the treatment
OF dysentery, and in intermittent
diseases as a substitute for quinine.
Oil of copeiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stinu-
Iant and diuretic. It acts on the
stomach and intestinal tract. It
acts as a stimulant on the genito-
urinary membranes. Useful in
chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery
and diarrhea, and some chronic dis
eases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to US for free book of tes-
&imonia1s Of what the people think
of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The
best evidence is the testimony of
those who have tried it.

DYNAMITE IN FIRE BOX.
covers Ten Sticks-Attempt
to Blow Up Plant.

ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 25.-Ten
sticks of dynamite were found in the
frebox of the portable saw mill of
Frank Weindl, near here, by Engineer j.
Priesinger as he was about to start the
fires.
The sticks were wrapped together and
two dynamite caps with fuses attached
lay near the door of the furnace. The
engineer carefully took the dynamite
from the furnace and upon further in
vestigation found a quart bottle filled
with kerosene.
Mr.. Wiendl brought one of the sticks
of dynamite to Ashland and is endeav-
oring to find where it was purchased.
This is the second effort to wreck Mr..
Weindl's MILL one attempt being made
abo@t a year ago.
