Former Howard County Man Sui
cides.

The citizens of Decorah and surround
ing country were shocked yesterday
morning when the news spread about
that John H. Plank, we'll known resi-
dent of Canoe township, living about
six miles north of the city, had COM
mitted suicide.
For some time past Mr.. Plank has been
acting peculiar. He has been worry
ing over financial troubles, and arrang-
ed for an auction sale to sell off some
things and settle up financial matters,
having rented his farm. He had been
in the city nearly every day the past
week, and while here on Monday was
seen to be crying, so that tits supposed
that the worry deranged his reason,
and the spell of melancholy which he
has been laboring under for some time
resulted in the rash deed.
During Monday night he was seen to
get up and light his pipe, as he had
been doing often of late, being unable
to sleep well. This was the last seen
of him alive. When the family arose
in the morning they found his bed
empty and instituted search for him,
his little boy about ten years fold find
ing his body hanging from rafter in
the granary, where he had committed
suicide during the night.
Mr.. Plank was about fifty years of
age and leaves wife and nine children.
six girls and three boys. He lived in
Canoe township a good many years,
where he was respected as an upright,
industrious citizen. The sympathies of
the entire community are extended to
the bereayed family. -Decorah Public

A FAMILY GATHERING.

A FAMILY GATHERING.
 There was very pleasant gathering, Monday afternoon, March 9th, at the home of MT and Mrs Porter L. Wood to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the birthday of Mrs Woods mother, Mrs Mary H. Curtiss. Those present were Mrs Curtlss, her sons, William and FL nathan with his wife, and her daugh- ters, Misses Jessie and Isabef Mrs Charles Benjamin, Mrs Charles Ellison with her little daughter, Dora, and Mrs Wood with her family. Forty two years ago Mrs Curtis and her fam fly went there to live where five other generations of the Curtiss family had made their home. The time was spent in viewing the old home, relating ex- periences there and doing full justice to a bountiful repast. Mother Curtiss was in her usual excellent health and bids fair to realize the hopes of her family and friends that she may live to see many happy returns of the day.

PHYSICIANS CURE SKIN WITH
 SIMPLE REMEDY
Noted Eczema Specialist Comments on Proven Specific for
 Skin Diseases.

Physicians everywhere continue their praise for ordinary oil of win tergreen in a wonderful specific for Eczema and other itching skin dis eases. This liquid, pure and clean as water externally applied has instant effect. A few drops on the burning, itching sore causes instant relief, and short continued use gives a complete cure.
 pr. c. B. Holmes of Silver City. Miss, is so enthusiastic about this remedy-D. D. D. Prescription-that he declares in a letter to the D. D. D. Company of Chicago. that this great remedy is as near a specific for Ec- zenna as is quinine for malaria. "l have been using your D. D. D. for four years with gratifying results" writes Dr. Holmes.
 There are thousands of other phy- sicians who use D. D. D. Prescription, the oil of wintergreen specific. D. D. D. cures and it is so clean to use. If we did not know what D. D. D. will do We would not recommend it to our friends and patrons. Elvey & kulett.

BRYAN AND WILSON"

Several democratic papers hear sim ultaneously from Washington that, if the wishes of Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., prevail, the Denver ticket will read as follows: For president, Will liam J. Bryan of Nebraska. For vice president, Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey"
 To the "Richmond Times-Dis- patch's" correspondent at the capital an intimate friend of the Fairview household has been telling tales out of school. Every member of the Bryan family-leaving out MT. Bryan himself-wants MT. Wilson nominat- ed for the ice-presidency," he as- serts. 'I am not authorized to ex- press Mir. Bryans views but I do not think it improper to say that there is no democrat in the country whom he would rather have on the ticket with him." The Washington correspondent of the World" yearns perhaps from the same leaky source that Mrs. Bryan is a great admir- CT of Dr. Woodrow Wilson's books, and that it was she who suggested the doctor to her husband as a de- sirable running mate. He had been thinking, the Worlds" informant re- ports, about Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo, Ohio; but he readily &C., ceded to the suggestion.

A DESERT JAUNT IN
 A TW0.CYLINDER REQ
Arthur N. Gage and Ray Swain Came to Phoenix Overland From Tomb stone Camp.

Arthur N. Gage and Ray Swain
 of Tombstone spent yesterday in
 Phoenix and vicinity, returning to
 Tombstone on last nights train. The
 purpose of their visit was merely
 to get here and go back again and
 they did so very nicely. They
 brought over the Rec two-cylinder
 automobile belonging to E. B. Gage
 who will keep it for use in Phoenix this summer. The trip was made from Tombstone with no untoward or irritating mechanical incident of any kind and notwithstanding this is about the hottest season of the year the journey was not an unpleasant one and was made in pretty good time, all things considered. They logged along easily at about eleven miles and hour while running and rested when they got tired. They left Tombstone Saturday afternoon at l o'clock and made the trip to Tucson by early evening. After a good sleep there they left at 6 o'clock Sunday morning for Sasco south of Red Rock and stopped there for a four hours rest and then headed for Tempe via Sacaton. Somewhere this side of the Gila river they followed a wrong direction, or failed to follow the right one, with the result that they got tangled up in an imaginary line drawn between Tempe and Mesa City and had to awaken a farmer from his sleep Sunday evening, to put them on the right road again. They had gone out of their way only a short distance and turning west ward they sailed through Tempe and on to Phoenix, arriving here about II D. m. Sunday night.
 The total distance travelled from Saturday at 1 p. m. to Sunday night 1t II o'clock, thirty-four hours, was 214 miles but as mentioned they spent the entire night in Tucson and four hours at Sasco, so their running lime was quite speedy for long pulls on the road. That they were not fred and worn out with travel is in- ;tanced by the fact that yesterday afternoon they took the machine for mother spin down to the big ostrich i arm.
