STRANGE FATAL BURNING.
Aged Treynor Man Dies Without Ex.
nIaininu Accident

Treynor.-Jurgen Shmileau, a pio-
neer resident of this place, died as a
result of burns sustained in some
manner, as yet unknown. Mr..
Schmileau was sick but were sleep
ing when the family retired. About
midnight they were awakened by
screams and rushing to the room
found the aged mans clothing which
he had wrapped about him, was burn
ing furiously. All strove to extin-
guish the flames, but did not succeed
until fatal burns had been inflicted.
The only plausible explanation Of
the accident was disclosed when the
broken pieces of lamp that had
been left burning in the sick cham
Der, were found lying in the yard.
1t Is presumed that the elder Schmil-
eau had gotten out Of bed and that
in his weakened condition he had
upset the lamp and had then thrown
it out of the window. He was burned
so badly that at no time was he able
to explain the cause of the fire.
The deceased leaves wife and
four children, all grown. A daughter
Mrs. Bernard Hickman, resides at
Nicola, and son, George, lives at Nc
Clelland. He was well to do and
greatly respected.

HUSBAND SHOOTS DOCTOR.
Suspects Him of Illicit Visits to His
Home.

Suspects Him or lslicit VISITS 10 7'S
Home.
Eldora.-Dr. Harry w. Emery,
prominent osteopath of this city, Is
lying at Emergency hospital, suffer
ing from a bullet wound in the left
breast, inflicted by Edward Nuckolls,
a well known young man here, and
associated with his father, Ezra
Nuckolls, in the jewelry business. DR..
N. c. Morse, who is caring for the
patient, does not as yet venture a,
prediction as to Emeny's chances for,
living.
Considerable mystery surrounds
the shooting, and different stories can
be heard. 1t is stated that Nuckollsi
found ENEMY trying to enter his,
house ct about 2 O'Clock a. m, and
emitted his revolver into the flying
form in the darkness.
The Nuckolls home has been under
quararti because the Nuckolls,
children were supposed to have scar,
let fever. Mr.. Nuckolls had not been,
staying at home, but, hearing that
the children had whooping cough,
went home to see just what the situa-
ton was.
About midnight, 1t is claimed, he
was awakened by a rap at the door.
He answered the call and found Dr.
ENEMY, who informed Nuckolls that
he was looking for him and wanted
him to go down to his Office and
sample some inc wine that he had
purchased. Nuckolls complied, but
after a short time excused himself,
and said he would 60 to his room at
the store and go to bed.
Nuckolls was apparently suspi-
cious, and instead of going to the
store and remaining, went for his re-.
volver and returned home. An hour
and a half later ENEMY is said to
have again appeared at the Nuckolls
home. Nuckolls was on guard and
waiting, and Immediately opened the
door and began shooting. ENEMY
fed and Nuckolls followed him long
enough to empty his revolver at him.

THEY GROW.
Good Humor and Cheerfulness from
Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. It dis.
pels the clouds from the mind as sun
light chases away the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off load that the man
with crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was In bad condition.
But I was young and did not want
to die SO began to look about for the
cause of my chronic trouble. I used
to have nervous spells which would
exhaust me and after each spell it
would take me days before could sit
up in chair.
i became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. decided to
stop it and bought some Postum,
"The first cup, which made &C.
cording to directions, had soothing
effect on my nerves snd liked the
taste. For time ! nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides. I

Mysterious Maady Kills Cattle.

Creston.-Dr. Kingery of this place
and the deputy state veterinarian
were called to Fontanelle to dag
nose a disease among the cattle in
J. S. Hurlburt's herd. Five head
have died and rumors were current
that they were afflicted with hydro
phobia. The cattle wander about as
II dazed, but do not appear vicious.
The veterinarians post norton ex-
animation showed the ANIMALS to be
afflicted with a brain disease termed
eucepalitis, caused by overlooking or
impure food, or by bad ventilation.
No signs of hydrophobia were found.
Mr.. Hurlburt is at loss to account
for the trouble, as these cattle have
been fed and cared for about the
same as his hab.l has been for years.
