Nature has provided the stom- ach with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices. and it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to pro- duce the rich, red blood that flows through the veins of our body and thereby makes us strong, health and robust. and it is the weakening of these di- gestive juices that destroys health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order. When you need to take some thing take it promptly, but take somthing you know is reliable something like KodOl For Dys- pepsia and Indigestion. KodOl is pleasant to take. it is relia ble and is guarateed to give relief.

On Friday last, Sheriff Woods was called to Winslow to get a Mexican who is accused of hay ing murdered his wife. It seems that the Mexican had had some trouble with his wife and that the latter had refused to live with him any longer. On Friday he came up behind her, and after first drawing the knife across her throat, he plunged it into her body downward from the neck. The woman died where she fell, and the sheriff brought the man to Holbrook where he was placed in cold storage to await the next term of court. Two little girls are left to be taken care of by acquaintances of the woman.

There is many indications which ind icate that Bingville is on the edge of big boom this summer wich will be far reaching in its effeckt and will do more than anything else to help this town take her place along with other popul- ous centres throughout the country. We don't know what to attribute this boom to unless it is simply the spirit of the times. We have always said how ever that Bingville, owing to its natural advantages and its nearness to civilisa- shion, as you might say (being only IS miles from the county seat), would grow and prosper if it only had time enough Our prophetic words is coming true. .. .-'@
 One thing that indicates the growth of this boom perhaps more than any thing else is the large amount of build ing in our midst which has been laid out and now that weather is getting better will be pushed rapidly forward toward completion without delay. We made a house to house canvas the other day in the interests of the Bugle for the purpose of finding out just what is going to be built, and we take pleasure in giving in this connection the follow ing list, viz, towit:
 Henhouse by Arioch Skinner.
 Front palings repaired by Lem Brown.
 New door put on his cellar by Anne Hillyer. our talented legal light.
 Several chicken coons by Gid Small
 An addition built onto his kitchen by Cy Hoskins.
 ] Two new shelves, to make room for new goods arriving daily, by Hen Wea- thersby, prop of our general store. 1 Fourteen rod of stone fence by Amzi Gookins
 Several new boxes in the P. O. by Eph Higgins, our poplar postmaster, for the accommodations of those desiring private boxes for their mail matter.
 Wagons, drag sleds, etc, by Bill Hep i burn. our artistick blacksmith. Work 1 done on short notice. Give him call. 1 (Adv.)
 Two bee-butts by Slime Peterson.
 There is doubtless other building go- 1 ing on which we did not learn of being as our time was limited We also dis covered several jobs under contempla- ton which the projectors may yet dec ide to carry out For instants Brad Hinsley is thinking some of shingling his barn. He has been thinking of il for the past five years, but on account of its cost Brad has put it off from time to time. He can't put 1t off much lon ger, however, because there is only a few shingles now left on the barn.
 All these things shows plainly the boom which Bingville has ahead of it. These building enterprises which our most respectful citizens has begun show that we are prospering and growing as a town, and we are glad of it. What we now need is few misunderstanding enterprises to come here Why don't the Board of Trade see to this1 This would furnish work for those of our citizens who have nothing to do and are glad of it.
