Old Land Mark Gone.

Mr.. E. r. Belvel who recently pur-
chased the Charley Danielson farm of
go acres II miles west of town, last
week had the old house on the place
torn down, the fruit and other trees
cut down and as far as possible every
indication that it had been the habita-
we'll remembered families for more
than IS years, have been obliterated.
Local traditions say that the house was
originally built by Dixon Green Laugh
lin in 1915, where he and his family
resided for many years during the early
days of the settlement of this section.
1t was built Of hewn white oak logs,
and when taken out last week practi-
cally all of them were as sound as when
laid up in the walls IS years ago. Later
the house was covered with oak siding.
1t was in this house in 1852 that DR..
Purcell was married to Sophia Laughlin,
daughter of Dixon Green Laughlin who
has been widow for So years, and now
residing with her daughter, Frost, at
Stockett, Mont. Her father was some
thing of doctor and possessed a
number Of old medical books which her
husband began reading and after few
months study began the practice OF
medicine and for many years after was
successful and popular physician en-.
joying an extensive practice through.
out this section. The place changed
hands many times in later years. Mr.
B. B. Cravens, still being with his chill
dren in this township having been the
owner of it and residing in the house
two or three years just prior to the
civil war. Mannering Summers waf
also one of the owners of the farm ir
the early days and owned in connection
with the place 80 acres on the opposite
side of the state line in Missouri, later
known as the Anderson farm and nov
belonging to the DIR. Glendennins
estate. Mr.. Summers has been deaf
many years having sold the farm ant
moved to the vicinity of Ravanna wher,
his children still reside. The sturd!
old logs that were hewn and laid up b,
long forgotten hands will now be spill
into fence posts and the scenes an,
incidents that happened in and abou
the old house will linger only in tn
dim recollection of few aged peopl
and in fast fading tradition.-Linevill

At the marble works of Harding &
Ensley, in this city, there is on exhi-
bition fine piece of work, whish is out
of the usual. 1t is monument for
Cecil Evelyn Eckhart, who died at
Lamont, some time since. The lettering
and designs are of the first order but
tho most remarkable feature of the
work is the portrait of the young lady,
in endurable porcelain, appearing on
the front surface, which will remain
there as long the marble is in existence.
Miss Eckhart met her death on January
II, by gasoline explosion just nineteen
years from the date of her birth, that
being on January II, 18s0.-Chariton

Strengthen
the Nerves

Nerve force like electricity is hard to ex.
plain.
One thing is certain. Nerve force can only
be created from rich, red blood.
Make the blood right and you cure diseases
Of the nerves such as headache, indigestion
sleeplessness, irritabilty, weakness Of the
bodily organs, prostration and partial paralysis.
This is the only way actual cure can possibly
be brought about, and because DR.. A. w.
Chase's Nerve Pills are great blood builders
they accomplish wonderful results in the cure
of diseases of the nerves.
Mr.. H. Martin, RF D. No. J, Oak Grove,
Mich, writes: "For twelve years suffered
from neuralgia and nervous debility and was
treated by nine different doctors. can state
positively that received more benefit from
i've boxes of DIR. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills
than from all the doctors put together. want
to thank you for the great good these pills did

Although the tickets for the two
opening games are still on sale at var

ing William O'Hare, who had sold Il
few more than 75 tickets. which en-:

contest which required the first prize

reward for selling more than 10
tickets, Mr.. O'Hare will be presented
with his choice of any $25 suit at
LaVelle, the clothier's, store.

Sunday was remarkable one for this

Moran gave frankie Neil another aw
ful clouting last night before the An.
Choir club of this city. They went -
rounds at 126 pounds and Neil was
almost out in the third and again in
the last round. Moran wound ND the
mill without a scratch. He took mat
ters leisurely in the middle rounds and
the crowd asked the boxer repeatedly
to put on the high gear The last
round was corker Moran went af-

came back with reserve freshness
which was surprising Moran battered
him viciously the last minute of the
round and came near finishing him.

the sensational order, but if Stark had
failed to make just as sensational a
play in getting the throw to first, it
would have proved useless. As ii was,
a man scored on the play.
Murphy had his batting eye prop

two and each time ended up on third
base. One of the hits was long
single which the fielder in left gar

other was about as clean three
