Friday he went to the top of the elevator
and somehow got into bin full of wheat
The slide at the bottom of the BIN was
opened later to let the wheat out, when
it appeared to be choked up. A rod be-
ing pushed up to relieve it, the little fell
lows foot came down and potruded
through the opening. Work was at once
begun to shovel the wheat out of the bin.
aud after two hours OF hard labor the
body of the lad was reached. but of
course life was extinct. The father of
the child when he received the terrible
news, was just pulling his train out of
Basic City, and had to run on to Shen-
andoah before he got relief. From there
he came on as passenger. and when he
reached Charles Town found at the s,a

There is more Catarrh In this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
lncurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local medies. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney Il Co, Toledo,
Ohio. is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
