be overcome in this undertaking, but
am used to hardships. shall take
only one sledge and eight dogs with
me, and my emergency rations will be
limited to matted milk and sweet
chocolate. For the rest l shall trust
to the game and fish of the country
for support. The American Bison So
eiety has appropriated a sum for re-
port Of my trip, and / have secured
contracts with several magazines for
articles. Archbishop Farley has given
me his special blessing and letters to
Canadian missionaries. From Ed
monton, the most northern railroad
point in America, shall travel by
snowshoe to Nome, Alaska, and be-
tween these points I expect to find the
, long sought wood bison.'

Death of Joseph Ross.

Joseph Ross died at his home in this
city on Thursday at IL o'clock noon,
the cause of his death being compli-
cation of diseases, though he has been
suffering for the past couple of years
with diabetes. He was able to be
around until Monday when he suf-
fered an attack and was compelled to
take to his bed.
Mr.. Ross was one of the old and
highly respected citizens of Morris,

been engaged in the hotel and restaur-
ant business, conducting the old Cen
tral hotel for number of years and
at present the owner of a restaurant

when % years of age, and came to

isont of Superior, Wis.,; B. N. Morri-
son, of Port Arthur, Canada; Robert
Morrison, of Dunsheaf, N. D. and
Harry Morrison of this city.

him. To the sorrowing relatives who
are bereaved of kind and loving
husband and father we extend our
kindest sympathy.

STOMACH DISTRESS.
And all Misery from Indigestion
Vanishes Five Minutes Later.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of in
digestion or stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome
a sour stomach five minutes after
wards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like lump of lead in
your stomach, or if you have heart
burn, that is sign of Indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist for 5O-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take one
triangule after supper tonight. There
will be no sour risings, no belching OF
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
debilitating headaches, dizziness, or
intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and, besides, there will be no sour
food left over in the stomach to poison
your breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure
for all stomach misery, because it will
take hold of your food and digest it
just the same of if your stomach
wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your pharmacist,
waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure case of
dyspepsia or indigestion.

A Boost for the Creamery.

The Dairy Record for Feb. 10th, has
the following tt. o..say in regard to the
local creamery.
"Once upon a time there was a
creamery at Morris, Mimi, that is,
sometimes there was and sometimes
there wasn't. Most of the time the
cream was shipped out and much
other cream went right thru Morris
on its way to centralizers.. It did not
look encouraging, to say the least.
Then one Peter Miller of the rank and
file of buttermakers,-that is, the
front rank bought it and took hold".
ellis annual statement shows that
some 142 900 pounds of butter were
made last year, besides an ice cream
and milk business of over fifteen
hundred dollars. And there was a
time when that creamery made three
tubs of butter week in May"
"Mr. Miller, altho a proprietor,
evidently believes in publicity, be-
cause he publishes an itemized state
ment of the business in the local
paper. He also believes in encourag
ing better methods of dairying among
his patrons, belief which he backs
up with cold cash in monthly prizes
to those bringing the most cream".
ssThis is not meant as boost for the
Morris creamery man; he doesn't
need it and, likely, doesn't care.
But this little tale only goes to show
what good, common sense, enterpris-
ing management can do to very
shaky creamery, centralizers or no
centralizers".
"Give us more Peter Millers."

We have proved how much at peace

Gibson Man Makes a Con-

something before l am convicted,

mond last night from Gibson to get
some clothes-some dry goods, you
understandable instead I got wet
goods. and that accounts for my being
here" So pleaded James O'DonnelI. a
Gibson yard switchman in Judge Nc
Mahon's court this morning when he
was asked to answer to the charge
whether or not he had been drunk in a
public place last night. He finally
pleaded to having been intoxicated. and
after having entertained the court
a while longer with his plea. he was
taken back to his cell to await the ar
rival of the money which he said he
had planted at Gibson"
Tt developed that O'Donnell had been
pretty much of a pest in the jail last
night. Crazed with liquor he made the
night hideous for three wayfarers who
had sought lodging in the cells last
night. Lining them up against the
wall he would fsticuR them to a
queens taste. and the three who were
at his mercy were afraid TO make an
outcry for fear of further outrages.
The three hobos left Hammond this
morning convinced that Hammond is
a real inhospitable place. and they
will not soon seek lodging here again.

JENKINS
duplicates
ANOTHER

Developments came fast within a few
hours after the arrest of J. c. Jenkins, a
young man OF S5 Calumet avenue, who
confessed to the police yesterday Of
stealing the Erlebach typewriter. Yes
terday he alone attempted to take the
blame for the theft of the machine, but
today he implicated E. Hammond of
252 Sibley street so conclusively that
the police felt warranted in arresting
him and holding him to the superior
court with Jenkins. The latter said
that the both had entered the Erlebach
office on Indiana avenue together. and
that the both had carried the machine
away. Hammond yesterday said that
he had bought the machine for 81 and
he innocently sold it to William Magi-
not for $40. 1t was through the lat
ters honesty that the machine was re-
stored TO the owner and that the two
will be brought to trial.
Both Jenkins and Hammond have po-
lice, IT being said of Hammond that he
had served a sentence at Jeffersonville
and another at Joliet.

8 NEW CONCERNS.

1t is said that the Hammond Busi-
ness Mems association now has un-
der consideration eight concerns
which are seeking locations in this
city. One of these is the Marshall
Ventilated Mattress company, which
knocked at Hammond's doors some
time ago.
The Hammond men were very
much impressed with the Marshall
mattress. and were disposed to do
all they could for the concern
should it decide to locate here.
Since that time the company has
been having great success in its
business, and the necessity of Sc
curing a location in Hammond in
more apparent than ever.
The company has $4,000 in cash.
$1,000 in bills receivable and $780,
900 IN untitled orders. The promot-
ers Of the company are certain that
with a location in Hammond the
company could be doubled andd
treble in a short time.
