Jack Heather is starting to build
three new houses, which are very
badly needed. There will be cleo
trio lights, water, bath and toilet
in each of them. They will be built
on the California bungalow style,
neat in appearance, comfortable
and up-to-date. Other public spir-
tied men will no doubt follow Mr..
Heather's example.

Fort Madison Democrat: The Rev.
Bernard Decker, curate of st. Nary
parish this city, has been transferred
to Browns, Clinton county. Iowa. and
will depart for his new field on Thurs
day morning. It was rllmored that
Father Decker was to go to Hills,
Iowa. but the transfer to Browns,
which has been confirmed, leaves the
matter no longer in doubt.
The parish at Browns is in a rural
community not far from Preston,
Iowa. There are seventy-five children
in the parish school and the church is
an old established one. The Rev.
Bernard Luedtke is the rector leaving
Browns to be succeeded by Father
Decker. There is no candidate as yet
for Father Decker's vacated post at
St. Mary's.
The Rev. B. Decker is a Fort Madi-

NOTE: You've all undoubtedly heard
OF the famous DR.. Pierce and his we'll
known medicines. Well, this prescrip-
ton is one that has been successfully
used for many years by the physicians
and specialists of DR.. Pierce's lnvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
n. Y, for kidney complaints, and dis
eases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-
gestion of the kidneys, Inflammation
OF the bladder, scalding urine, and
urinary troubles.
Up to this time, UAnuric1 has not
been on sale to the public, but by the
persuasion of many patients and the
increased demand for this wonderful
healing Tablet, DR.. Pierce has finally
decided to put it into the drug stores
OF this country within immediate reach
of all sufferers.
1 know of one or two leading drug
gists in town who have managed to
procure a supply of sAnuric" for their
anxious customers in and around this
locality. If not obtainable send one
dime by mail to DIR. Pierce for trial
package or so cents for full treatment.

Since, gazing deeper into life. l saw

And though SO little cleaner was the

when he parts with all OF his estate

that he who provideth not for his own

He will be infinitely richer, In every
thing constituting genuine wealth, than
had he held fast to that overgorge ed

have died poor had he died leaving

have died poor leaving 800, 100000 or
only S5O,000,000. But now we see
that he has saved himself from dying
poor and when he dies, though he has
not penny left, he will die rich.

understood him as promising that, OF
the several hundred million dollars
he then possessed. very little would
be left for his heirs. Undoubtedly that
