Indian Believes In Omens.

Mysticism plays a great part in the
hunting of the Indian. He is a great
believer in signs and omens, and If he
starts to hunt and sees a sign or omen
that BODIES evil he turns back to wait
a more propitious time The fight of
certain birds, the floating of feather,
the crawling Of snakes, are of import,
and unless he believes in the potency
Of his medicine to overcome the evil
influence he will not go after game
when the signs are not right. The In
dian, being very susceptible to cold,
does little hunting in the dead of win
ter. Being neither hardy nor warmly
clothed, he prefers the warm camp
fire in the tepee to the distress Of the
hunting trail when the cold is biting.
1t Is generally believed that the red
man is one Of the most hardy of the
human race because he has spent his
life in the open, but that sort of life
Is not conducive to hardness unless it
be accompanied with plenty Of food
and warm clothing. - San Francisco
Chronicle.

has been--only 8 years since the

ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION.


Duplex ,Pular in Dss Moinss-
The re aarkable work of Da
pIeK lenses which have been SO
successfuI in New York, Boston.
Chicago, St. Louis and Des
Moines has reached its climax in
the latter city. Throughout the
day, hundreds Of people who
have come, not only from the
city and vicinity bat from all
places within a hundred and
fifty miles, ill their Offices in the
Clapp block.
Besides having fifty-one Of the
most thoroughly equipped opti-
cal establishments in the United
States they have opened offices
in Des Moines. In attendance
are staff Of specialists whose
services are free to all those
who wish to consult them or have
their eyes examined.
That the Duplex Optical Co.
has filed long felt want in this
community IS recognized by the
fact that about thirty five hun
dred people visited their parlors
since their opening in Des
Moines to take advantage Of their
liberal offers.
That those who visited their
parlors were perfectly satisfied
with the services OF the special
lists is proved by the fact that
the greater number of the pa
tiefits Of the past few weeks
came on the recommendation Of
their friends or neighbors.
Throughout central and west
ern Missouri newspapers are
deyoting whole columns to the
wonderful work Of these world
famous Duplex lenses.
Hundreds Of physicians. who
are wearing these lenses, send
their patients to them in prefer
ence to any other first class op-
tician.
Il has been a custom with
them for years to have one Of
their specialists visit some
neighboring towns every 80 or
60 days.
Among their list Of towns to
which their specialists will 90
for the present year is Rich Hin.
One Of their specialists and his
assistants win be in Rich Hill at

ty win receive with a iinge Of
regret the information that Rev.
g. H. Cosper, for three years
and more the very popular and
successful pastor Of the First
M. e. Church Of this city is to
leave Nevada. But to his new
and larger field Of labor, the
First church Of Hannibal, Mo,
the best wishes Of the army Of
friends he and his excellent
family have made here win fol-
low them.
Rev. Cosper win be succeeded
here by Rev. ]. W. Coughlen,
who has been in charge Of the
church to which the Nevada
minister goes. Some time since
the Hannibal pastor was called
to Illinois. He resigned in Han
nibal and the church there at
once took up the task Of secur
ing Rev. Cosper, and il might be
said without solicitation on the
part of Rev. Cosper. After the
latter had been secured for Han
nibal something arose to prevent
Rev. Coughlan from going to
Illinois, so instead he comes
here.
It is perhaps none too much t.
say that the three years work Of
Rev. Cosper here is the best ever
done for his church, and ie is a
church that has been noted for
excellent pastors. Not only has
his influence for good in the
church itself been remarkable,
but he is the kind of minister
whose work for the Master
doesn't stop inside the church
the kind. in fact, whose work
knows no bound but the sea
lines, no ceasing place but death
or the judgment.
Good and faithful ministers
preceded Rev. Cosper in the pull
pit of the Nevada church, but for
all their work the church was
tagging in membership and
struggling financially when he
came. During his pastorate tine
church has been made prosper
Gus In monetary way and the
membership largely increased
and wonderfully enthused.
The new charge which Rev.
Cosper goes to Hannibal to as
sumo is one of the best in the
state and the understanding is
that the salary viii be consider.
ably larger than he received
here, as well as the field larger
and the opportunity for accom-.
pIishing good correspondingly
greater. he will 90 into finc,
new church recently completed
at a cost OF $4,000 and begin his
new work under most favorable
auspices. While the Nevada
church and our people generally
sincerely regret 10 see him leave,
AZ the same time they wish him
well and heartily congratulate
the Methodists OF Hannibal on
securing the service Of man
who, both as preacher and pas
tor, viii soon be the foremost
