Untold Value.

used:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce;

Mrs. Frank Gillette than 1t has Tor
any day since December 5th last year,
when the jury in the Herkimer county,

her son, Chester guilty of numbering

that in the event of her being unabie
to secure enough money to pay counsel
for arguing the appeal which has been
taken, he will furnish the money him

The death of Alexander Dowie has
resulted IN such an unsettled state OF
affairs in Zion City that Mrs. Gillette
left Their last Friday, and is at present
visiting her parents in Davenport

Never for an instant has the mother

an unsettled state of affairs that made
Mrs. Gillette despair of interesting her

so she took what money she had and
left for Davenport.
