Lincoln township, was stricken with a
fit of apoplexy which caused his death.
Soon after stubbing his toe he felt the

years ago. During all those years he
lived on the farm where he died. He

refusal to quit his labors had much to
do with his sudden and unexpected
death.

When Shercliffe was here before he
announced his intention of reforming
and Governor Cummins granted him
a pardon and allowed him to stay in
Iowa without being molested by
officers from outside Iowa. Until
Governor Cummins revokes this it

Because of this he will be taken via
Omaha and will not be given a
chance to get on Iowa soil.
His wife yesterday announced her
intention of taking the babies and
going to Minneapolis when his trial
begins. She will probably start the
same time he does from the south in

left for Michigan nearly seventeen
months ago to look for work. II don't

Not because II is Sarsaparila, but
because it is a medicine composed Of
more than fourteen different remedial
agents. effecting phenomenal cures Of

are the identical ones the medical pro-
fession prescribe whenever these all
ments manifest themselves.
This is no secret to the profession,
but the combination and proportions
which make Hoods Sarsaparilla are
not known, except to ourselves, and
herein lies the reason why you will get
better results from it than from any
other medicine.

catarrh, rheumatism, anemia, nervous
ness, that tired feeling, dyspepsia, loss
of appetite, general debility and builds
