DEATH OF MAY fALCONfR.
Died Last Friday Forenoon After Less Than
Three Days Illness of Diphtheria.

The sudden and unexpected death of
May Catelyna Falconer, the second
daughter of MIR and Mrs. R. B. Falconer
OF this city on Friday forenoon of last
week shortly after eleven o'clock is one
of the sad events of the week we are
called upon to chronicle. The home of
the Falconers at the time had been under
quarantine about three weeks. their
youngest daughter, Myrtle, being i'll
with diphtheria but was rapidly getting
better. It was not until the Tuesday
afternoon before she died that their
daughter, May, whose twentieth birth
birthday had occurred short time be-
fore, vas in some way taken i'll with the
disease. From the first her case was
pronounced as critical, the disease show
itself in a virulent form and failing to re
spond to anti toxin, which was admin
istered at frequent intervals. The pa
tient had good healthy constitution and
the struggle against disease and death
was fought with determination to win
with the parents loving prayers and
everything that lay within the bounds
of medical skill, but doubtless it was
the will of higher power that the home
should mourn loved one whose voice
though hushed on earth and whose soul
has put on Immortality.
May Catelyna Falconer was born at
Oak Lake, Mimi, in 1887, and was the
third child of the family of Mr.. and Mrs
R: B. Falconer. For upwards of ten
years Langdon has been her home, the
family having moved here from their
farm in Perry township where they
resided some time, after crossing the
line from Manitoba. Her life all through
childhood, to the approach of woman
hood clearly reflected character that
none could help but love and admire.
The funeral was held at dusk Fri
day evening, short funeral service be-
ing read at the grave by Rev. Hibbard
in the presence of quite a number OF
sorrowiug friends.
A precious one from us has gone
y A voice we loved is stilled
place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given
And though the body mouldereth here
The soul is safe in heaven

WORSE THAN DEATH.
Deserted by Her Husband and Left Among
STRANGERS Drives Wife Insane.

Behind prison bars would be almost
too good place for Philip Fredericka,
whose wife was taken to the jamestown
asylum Tuesday after being adjudged
insane by the county board of insanity.
She came out from Austria about three
weeks ago to join her husband. who had
moved in this county last spring and
was working for her brother, Jacob
Dick, whose farm is three miles north
east of Nekoma When she arrived 1T
was to find that her husband had left
week previous, leaving no word where
he was going and search during the
month that has elapsed fails to locate
him. He evidently having skipped and
deserted her. Her journey here from
Austria was one of disappointments and
anxiety, and to find that she.had been
deserted after all she had gone through
completed the arrangement of what at
best was only weak and poorly balanc.
ed mind. On landing at Montreal she
and her four children were in quarantine
three weeks, the children having
measles. Her delicate condition con-
fronted her with further delay at Win
nipeg, being confined two hours after
reaching there. Her brother sent her
money to Winnil eg to meet this addi-
tional expense, having already advanced
Fredericka 5000 unearned money with
which to get his family out here.

Cold Wave and Snow Struck the Canadian

A telegraphic dispatch from Ed

origin in the far north and had swept
over large portion of the Canadian
country. 1t was moving rapidly in the
direction of North Dakota and unless it
spent its force before reaching here,

The Usual Difference,

A rich but avaricious old man de-
cided to make his will, and, calling his
lawyer, instructed him to draw it up,
and that he would leave all his money
to a friend.
"What!' said the lawyer, "to a
friend, when you have a nephew liv-
ing?"
He is ne'er-do-well, fool, and an
idiot, who has never worked and whom
I have not seen for six years.
But in that time" said the lawyer,
che has become rich. A much richer
man than you, in fact, and he would
laugh at your fortune"
I'm that case" returned the contrary
old gentleman, that makes a differ
ence I shall, therefore, make him my

BALM OF SCRIPTURE
HEALING PROPERTIES OF PINE
KNOWN TO ANCIENTS.
Oil of the White Pine Tree Used Sue
cessfuily by Physicians in Treat
ing Consumptiye Patients.

The Oil of the Pine Tree is sup
posed to be the balm of Scripture. 1t
contains great medicinal properties
and was regarded with the utmost
esteem by the ancients, and to the
present day is peculiarly priced by
the people of the East.
A noted authority on diseases of the
throat and lungs, who established a
camp for cOnsumptives in the Pine
Woods of Maine, says that his entire
treatment consisted of fresh air,
nourishing food and the Pure Virgin
Oil of the White Pine Trees, mixed
with Whisky and Glycerine in the fol
lowing proportions:
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) Hoz.
Good Whisky ..............
Used in teaspoonful doses every four
hours.
It is claimed the above mixture will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription dfuS8lSt
at small cost, and can be easily mixed
in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in half-ounce Walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved
wrapper with the name-Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co, Cincinnati, o.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure) which are put out
under various names, such as Con
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Bal
sam, etc. Never accept these as a
substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, as they will invariably produce
nausea and never effect the desired
result

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged-Cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called it.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right
But she still grew worse Doctor
No. said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one Of
her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for
doctor No 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. A. and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it, We thought we would try
doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. / saw one Of the Cuti
cuSa advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so l went and purchased
set of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. Of course it could not
restore the eyesight, but if we had
used Cuticura in time | am confident
that it would have saved the eye. we
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
