SQUARES AN OLD ACCOUNT.
Accidental Discovery That Bon Me-
Coy Was Short Changed When
Paid for Army Service.

Webster City, April 12.-Uncle Ben
Mccoy of this city has just received
from the treasury Of the United States
a voucher for $1.67. which has been
due him since the fall of 1S62-nearly
forty eight years. 1t represents the
small balance due Mr.. Mccoy for serv-
ice in the United States army in the
war Of the rebellion and that he has
received 1t at all came about in an al
most accidental manner.
Mr. Mccoy recently made claim
on the government for $40 for clothing
which he was entitled to during his
war service but which he did not use.
Because he became incapaciated for
service. however and did not serve out
his term of enlistment, this claim was
not allowed.
In looking over the old records in
yestigating Mr.. McCoy's service In the
army, some departmental clerk made
the startlin~ discovery that when he
had been paid off in the fall of 1852
Mccoy had received $1.67 SIS than he
was entitled to. When notice was sent
him that his claim for $40 had not
been allowed, he was also notified Of
the back pay due him. But in settling
this little debt Uncle Sam paid no in
terest. Were Mccoy to be allowed
straight per cent interest he would
have coming the munifcent sum OF
$5.70.

Wreck Victims in Mix.up.

Marshalltown, April 12.-It was a
case out Of the frying pan and into the
fire with A. S. Mcdonald and wife OF
Perth, N. D., two of the victims of the
Rock Island wreck at Green Mountain
on March 81. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald
were discharged from the hospital In
this city a few days ago and started
for their home in North Dakota.
Word was received by friends here to
the effect that when the Great North
ern train, which was bearing them to
Perth, was within thirty miles of the
town, it ran off the track, owing to
spreading rails, and ran 400 feet on
the ties before it came to a stop.
While no one was injured there
we're no two more frightened than Mr..
and Mrs. Mcdonald, especially after
having just passed through their ter
rible experience here.

100 CHRISTMAS
LEE CO., cENTENARiAN STILL
WORKS AT TRADES A

Neokuk, April 12.-Old Mr.. Waddell,

year 1s49, and who will have shuffled
off one hundred years of this mortal
existence next Christmas day, was
seen on the roof Of his house this
morning busily engaged in menclng

Mr.. Waddell was born in Buffalo.
N. Y, but came west when a young

both French, having died while he
was yet boy.
When asked whether he had always
enjoyed good health the old gentle

eighteen years. My legs were all
swelled up so that l could not walk
and had as many as twenty different
doctors treat me but they were none
Of them able to cure me. One day a

me, one of whom knew. The other
pne, on being. told what was the mat
ter with me said, I'll get you a pint
of whiskey with some roots dissolved
In It that will cure YOU" He brought
them to me right away and three days
after that ] was on my feet, never
having to have a doctor since that
time"
He was asked what kind Of roots
It was that contained such healing
qualities, but the old man steadfastly
refused to divulge the name of the

Mr.. Waddell says he plastered,
with two sons helping him, $50 walls

for man of that age, and he looks as
though he were good for a good many
years yet.

THE subject Of home decoration
and furnishing is so large and
comes SO closely to the individ-
ual life Of the family that an
outsider hesitates to make even the
simplest suggestions. And yet just be-
cause the subject is large and impor-
tant and because it Is, on the whole,
so little understood by the average per-
son is one very good reason why in
struction is needed along certain lines
All that shall attempt, however. IN
these articles on house furnishing will
be some Of the very first principles.
just few hints for the women who
are not sure Of their own opinions on
such matters. whose experience has
been limited and whose opportunities
for getting really good things are very
few.
There was a time In the history OF
our country when the family was con-
tent with the home which simply at
forded shelter. That was the primitive
object Of the home. an instinct devel-
