Football is getting it's bumps these
days. New York City has abolished
the game from it's public schools. fol
lowing the example set by Columbia
University four. years ago Columbia
Is highly pleased with the result of
four years without football and the
city OF New York will have no more
of the rough play.
Pugilist jim Jefrrles added his word
against the game the other day. saying
that he preferred to teach his son to
ibe a prize fighter rather: than a foot
ball player, as in the ring he had only
one man at time to fight, while in
football he had eleven. The smuggling
rules in the ring are strIcter, too. 1t
begins to look very much as If foot
ball must be mended soon or it will be
surely ended.

Mrs. Wm. Tiffany, superintendent
of Jail work, had prepared a thought
full paper that strongly insisted on
the separation of the youthful Of
tenders from those who are older in
crime. She also proved that it is
the duty of followers of Christ to
lift up the fallen, to visit the prison
ers. etc. Many have been won for
Christ by the ministrations of the

brought out of darkness into light
by the efforts made in our own jail.
Some prisoners who were released
this spring made fair promises, and
by looking to God for strength they
can be kept. The sisters and broth

WoIfgang Schmid Dies.
Brown County Journal:

Brown County Journal:
Wolfgang Schmid died at Spring
field yesterday morning shortly af-
ter 2 o'clock, afflicted with Bright's
disease and asthma. He had been
i'll for the last eighteen months, and
very little hope was entertained for
his ultimate recovery for some time
The deceased was one of the early
pioneers of Brown county and first
settled in the town of Mulligan,
where he owned farm. With the
exception of short time spent at
Waseca, ne resided in Mulligan up
to 1881. when he moved to Spring
field. which was at that time known
as Burns. He conducted a sample
room for a brief period and then en-
gagged in the lumber business and in
1900 associated himself with Mich.
Lehrer. and they also established a
hardware business. Later the firm
was Incorporated as the Schmid &
Lehrer company. Mr.. Schmid was
born in Bavaria, July Is, 1847, and
was therefore nearly 62 years of age.
He came to this country when he
was twenty years old. He leaves a
wife and six children to mourn his
death. They are, R. c. Schmid

ter, of Springfield, Mrs. Geo. R.

would be difficult to point out a more

birds, it deserves the fullest protec-

MAY WIPE IT
OFF THEiEARTH.
A Simple Homemade Treatment
Said to Overcome Rheumatism.

Few people here know that you
can cure that dread American dis
ease, rheumatism, with justcommon,
everyday drugs found ins.any drug
store. The prescription is so simple
that any one can prepare it at home
at small cost. 1t issmade up as fol-
lows: Get from any good&prescrip-
ton pharmacist pharmacy fluid ex-
tract dandelion, one-half ounce;
compound kargon, one ounce; COM
pound syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shakingsin a bottle
and take in teaspoonful fdoses after
each meal and at bedtime. These
are all simple Ingredients, making
an absolutely harmless home remedy
at little cost.
Rheumatism, as every one knows.
is symptom of deranged kidneys.
1t is a condition produced by the
failure of the kidneys to properly
filter or strain the uric acid and
other matter, which, if not eradicat-
ed either in the urine or through
the skin pores, remains inithe blood,
decomposes and forms about the
joints and muscles, causing the I'm
told suffering and deformity of
rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and in
vigorating tonic to the kidneys, and
gives almost immediatejrelief in all
forms of bladder and urinary
troubles and backache. 36-3t.

CURES INDIGESTION.
All Distress from Stomach and IndigeS-
ton VaniSheS in Five Minutes.

Take your sour Stomach-or may
be you call it indigestion, dyspepsia,
gastritis or catarrh of stomach; it
doesn't matter-take your stomach
trouble right with you to your
pharmacist and ask him to open
so cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
let you eat one 22-grain triangule
and see if within five minutes there
is left any trace of your stomach
misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is food fermentation souring,
the digestive organs become weak,
there is lack Of gastric juice; your
food is only half-digested, and you
become affected with loss of appetite,
pressure and fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, grip
ing in bowels, tenderness in the pit
of stomach, bad taste in mouth, con-
stipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gass, billiousness. sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness and
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or
if you feel bloated after eating, or
your food lies like lump of lead on
your stomach, you can make up your
mind that at the bottom of all this
there is but one cause-fermentation
of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good
as any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take a little Diapepsin.

Reforming the Prisoner.

The White Ribboners meeting on
Thursday opened with the song,
Work for the Night is Coming"
Penal and reformatory work was
the topic and the answers to roll call
were on that subject.
Mrs. VanDolah quoted the advan-
tages of the parole system for pris-
oners and lamented the fact that
some of the states have not yet
adopted it.
Mrs. Lusk gave the opinion of
Warden Johnson of Sing Sing IN.
W penitentiary, who believes that
every prisoner should be taught
some useful trade, so that when dis
charged he would be able to help
himself and greatly lessen the
chances Of coming back. He thinks
that the reason there are so many
third and fourth timers is because
the discharged prisoner finds it diff
cult to earn a living, and reasons
that it would be economy on the
part of the state to teach them to be
selfsupporting.
Mrs. Collins spoke of the 9Th In
ternational Prison Congress, to be
held in Washington next year. Eu-
rope and America will then discuss
means and methods to stop making
criminals. Mere punishment. of
criminals has never caused the slight
! est lessening of the flood of crime.
1t has really been as effective as a
bombardment of oil would be in
stopping a fire. Indiscriminate
punishment of first offenders has
made confirmed criminals and nova
days probation is working wonders
in redeeming men headed toward
criminal careers.
Mesdames Angel, Whittet. Steg-
ner, Kumm, Jones, Tiffany, Winter,
Woodwork and Notion gave APP
propriate items. One cited the ac-
ton of Maryland Judge. who pos
sessed a large amount Of good COM
mon sense. A man had been found
guilty of manslaughter, and instead
of sentencing him to a long term in
prison, he paroled him on condition
that he contribute twenty dollars
each month to the support of the
wife of the man whom he had killed
He was compelled to give thousand
dollars bond and to report to the
court at each session, The mer
were relatives and had quarreled
The Judge realized that in sentenc
ing the man to the penitentiary he
would be making bad matter still
worse, and the widow would receive
no compensation whatever, hence
the Solomon-like wisdom.
Little Helen Stegner's reading o.
Little Blossom was refreshing
and would have been highly credit
able to a young lady of twice he
years.
Miss Hitchcock had received let
ter from Redwood prisoner now IL

appreciation Of the gospel service
