DEATH OF A VENERABLE
PHYSICIAN.

In November last death claimed one
of the venerable physicians of Western
New York, DR.. AlonzO Wiltse of Dele
van, Cattaraugus County. Mr.. Wiltse
had been practising physician for sew
enty years. A peculiar circumstance in
connection with his life is the fact that
thirty years ago he was stricken with
Bright S disease and after a thorough
examination and consultation by emf
nent Buffalo physicians, his ease was
pronounced incurablc and he was ad.
vised to prepare for the closing of his
earthly career.
Returning to his home with such sad
information he was spurred to make a
desperate analysis and study of
Bright's disease, with the result that
he formulated remedy which com
pletely cured him and gave him an ad-
ditional lease of thirty years of life, or
until the age of 81 years, as mentioned
above.
Mr. Wiltse in his practice thereafter
used the remedy with great success. The
mixture can be obtained at any local
drug store at a nominal cost, and the
complete formula will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt of twenty-five cents

TEST OF BONUS LAW.
Commonwealth Will Carry Up Dauph'
in County Decision on Steel
Hoop Case.


Harrisburg, May 19.-This week an
appeal will be made by the common.
wealth of Pennsylvania to the supreme
court from the decision of President
Judge Kunkel of the Dauphin county
court in the suit for bonus on capital
stock of the American Steel Hoop COM
pany, which was merged in the Car
negie Steel company a constituent
company of the United States Steel
Corporation.
The state sued to recover bonus on
capital invested in this state since the
enactment of the bonus law on May s,
1901. The company prior to that time
had S3,471 1,927.30 returned as invested
in this state. In 1901 it invested
1851, ,50296 additional and in 1902
$944,575.62. The state sued for the
bonus of one-third of | per cent on
S2,S20,424.34 of this sum, which 1t
claimed came under the bonus law be-
cause of investment in this state.
While the amount actually involved
is small, less than $4,000, the effect of
the decision, if sustained by the SUI
preme court, will be far reaching, as
every company chartered in another
state and having investments in Penn
sylvania will escape payment of bonus
under conditions similar to that of the
steel company. Many thousands OF
dollars worth of tax are involved.

UNCUT BEARD TILL
BRYANISE ELECTED
Missouri Man Who Made Fool
Pledge II Years
Ago

Denver, July 9.-Thomas Robert
son of Missouri, appeared on the
streets of Denver today with beard
four feet long, and hair which was
draped down over his shoulders ex-
tending to the small of his back.
Mr. Robertson came out of hiberna-
tiCn from Missouri's hills, where Rip
Van Wrinkle Ike, he has been sleep
ing and letting his hair grow for the
sake of William Jennings Bryan,
In 1896, when Robertson was a
comparatively young man, he made
Ia vow that he would let his beard
and hair grow until BRYAN was elect
ed president of the United States.
In the fall of that year Robertson
was disappointed. and by the time
election was over he had developed
a luxuriant growth of jet black
locks.
He resolutely refused to go back
on his determination never to cut
his hair or beard until Bryan became
the president of the United States.
Inch by inch the hair grew; year by
year its luxuriance faded away.
Four passed and the determined
man firmly held his declaration un-
moved by entreaties of relatives and
friends; 1900 came and with it hope
rose again in Robertson's breast, but
Bryan was again defeated and Rob-
ertson's hair continued to grow and
to fade.
Then came 1904; by this time, bow
ed with the weight of eight added
years and eight years growth of
hirsute adornment, Robertson had
begun to age, but his spirit of hope
for the ultimate trump of his man
of destiny remained, Robertson
made another wager that Bryan
would be the democratic nominee.
Stung again was he, but now, after
IL years, Robertson is again here
with all his radiance, snow white
hair, and is one of the eccentric at
fractions in the convention city. He
has come with confidence that his
whiskers and his hair are soon to
go.
Bryan will be elected as sure as
my hair is three feet long," he said
today. "On November S | will
hire three BARRIERS, and ! am going
to send my II years growth of
hair to Mr. BRYAN for a souvenir"

as an outsider starts to butt in, .
why they are all "agin HIM" the

BUILDING BETTER
CITY HOMES
Later Improvements Show
Progress and Prosperity

The second building era, now pre-
valent in Miller, is. as usual, an i'm
provement over the homes of the
pioneer settler. In the early days a
three or four room house without a
modern convenience was the GUS
tomary abode of the family that ac-
cepted Horace Greeley's advice,
But today modern homes, with
plenty of room, and all the conven-
fences possible are the order. This
may or may not mean that all the
builders have become rich and
powerful and ride in carriages. "
Or it may mean laudable ambition
to make comfortable home, eX-
pressing satisfaction with this as a
place of permanent residence enter
tanned bv few twenty years ago.
The average modern dwelling has
electric light, a heating plant, bath,
water, and sewer connections. fine
porches and shady lawns. There are
many of such now to be seen in the
CITY, and more are being erected
each year.
Among new dwellings now going
up are the following: j. ID. Fitz-
gerald, modern two story dwelling,
cor. Third and Linden SITS; f. II. Ben.

Ettie SITS; G.. H. Preston II story

Farmers and stock men should be-
gin to think of preparing exhibits for
the county fair. Remember the real
success of fair exhibit is in the
bulk and the manner of display,
more than in the exceptional quality
tor instance one-half bushel basket
of corn, be it ever SO good, makes no
showing. But 100 baskets full, nice
ly arranged, is fine advertisement
for any community, Or say a half
dozen men exhibit stock that at
tracts no attention, while 100 exhib-
itors can make fine display.
