Stouahton

On the farm of L. O. Guam, near the
lake, Thursday, Mr.. Quam's very best
horse had it's tail entirely pulled out by
getting it caught in the betting of the
separator of the threshing machine
which was in operation there. The
horse was standing near the machine
and was switching it's tail to keep the
fles away. Dr. Cuban, who was sum-
moned, is of the opinion that the ami
NAL will not have to be killed.
Stoughton relatives and friends of
Byron Tulser have heard with regret
Of his death last Sunday afternoon at
his summer home at Red Rock, near
st. Paul. The funeral took place in ST.
Paul Thursday. The deceased, who was
80 years old, had been in poor health
for about year, we are told, following
an operation that he underwent. He
was the elder son of Mr.. and Mrs. II.
M. Tulser, we'll known former resi-
dents of this city, and it was here that
he was born. Mr.. Tulser was employ
ed by the Wells-Fargo Express Co.,
with headquarters at Aberdeen, 5. u.
Surviving him are his wife and three
children.

Military Orders.

The story goes that a raw battalion
of rough backwoodsmen who had "vol-
unteered," once joined General Grant.
He admired their fine physique, but
distrusted the capacity Of their un-
couth commander to handle troops
promptly and efficiently in the field, so
he said: Colonel, / want to see your
men at work. Call them to attention
and order them to march with shout
dered arms in close column to the left
flank" Without moments hesitation
the colonel yelled to his fellow ruffians:
Boys, look wild thar! Make ready to
thicken and go left endways! Tote
yer guns! Ctr The maneuver proved
a brilliant success, and the self elected
colonel was forthwith officially COM

Why People Die Early.

High blood pressure belongs to a
group Of old age diseases dis
ease, arteriosclerosis, heart failure,
apoplexy and paralysis. People natu-
rally die of them at seventy to eighty
years of age. If they fall victims at an
earlier age there is something wrong.
What is wrong? Why do people die
prematurely? believe it is because
we fail to search for and find the symp-
toms of these organic diseases. There
is no question at all that if we can dis
cover the right agent to fight the toxins
that live in the colon or large bowel
the average man and woman should
live to be at least a hundred. The
American people are going to take
death prevention more seriously than
they do now. Some day when men and
women die under fifty years Of age a
coroner's inquest will be called to de-
termine the cause of their untimely
demise.-Dr. w. S. Sadler in Golfers
Weekly

Wednesday evening as Mrs. HI. L..
Wilson was driving into her summer
home, Edgewater Villa, she and those
In her buggy met with an accident that
might have proven very serious. A
part of the harness gave way as they
were going down hill, allowing the
buggy to run into the horse which ran
away crashing the wheels into a tree
and throwing the occupants to the

E|ectricity's Latest Achievement
Clean, Smooth Trans
Mountain Travel

Through the medium of kite string
came mans mightiest servitor. Through
its forces, time, and space have been
obliterated. Whispers carry across the
continent-ni is turned into day
messages flash through the air.
And now again through the enter
prise of man, electricity has been CIV
en- new, and perhaps greater, work.
That the nations commerce may move
swiftly, surely across the mountains
that travel may be smooth, clean and
thoroughly enjoyable : the mighty
spark has been won from mountain
cataracts to electrify great railway.
On the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway for 440 miles through the
Belt, Rocky and Bitter Root mountains
steam has given place to electricity.
Trains are moving with consummate
ease across the mile-high ramparts OF
the Continental Divide.
And so successful has been the oper-
alton of these electrified divisions that
the railway is now electrifying the 211
miles of main line through the snow
capped Cascades, Washington.
When next you journey to Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and other
cities in the Pacific Northwest, take
either of these famous trains, seThe
Olympian" or ''The Columbian, and
enjoy the delights of electric travel,
over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway.
For literature and full information
apply to local agent of this railway.

HELPING the Coffee.

Some of the coffee sold roasted and
ground causes complaint. Most of 1t
can be improved a little. Trouble
seems to be that it is not roasted
enough and needs another touch Of fire.
You know the less it is roasted the
more it weighs. Put a couple of table
spoonfuls in a seamless agate quart
stewpan or cup and set it on the stove,
gas or blue flame and shake it while 1t
gets another scant parching, never let
ting it get hot enough to smoke or
scorch. Set it aside till it gets cold and
then pour on the water and finish up in
the regular way.

Origin of "Hoosierm

While the derivation Of the word In
diana from Indian is apparent, the orr
gin of the word Hoosier applied to an
inhabitant Of that state is not regard
ed as entirely clear. The theory which
has gained the greatest acceptance is
that it received its present form from
the vernacular rendering Of the query,
who's yef?" instead Of "Who are

time the word Hoosier was regarded
as implying reflection on the person

DeafnessCannot be cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-

hamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed

Street Commissioner Corbin Exerts
Efforts to Keep Dust Down.
Did you complain yesterday about
the dust blowing in your face and in
your house and did you blame it all
on the street department? If you did
you did that department an injustice
because every effort was exerted to
keep the dust down and worlds Of
water was put on the streets Of the
city. Because Of the heat and the high
wind the water did little good and
made It necessary to put much more
than usual.
Commissioner 1. o. Corbin this
morning said that approximately sew
enty four thousand gallons Of water
were sprinkled on the streets Of
Greenwood yesterday. The three
sprinklers put m average OF twenty
four thousand, six hundred gallons
each, making forty one trips from the

MAKING CIRBS
AND CUTTERS
Actual Work Toward Paving of Mar
ket Street Begun-Street Will
Not Be Blocked.

The first actual work toward the
paving of Market street contracted
for last fall began this morning when
preparation for cutters and curbs was
started. The street was graded and
the drainage fixed seveal weeks age
and all put in readiness for the start
There was some delay occasioned BY
the failure of gravel shippers at
Greenville to deliver gravel ordered
but new orders were given to Memphis
shippers and part Of the gravel is al
ready on the ground and the remain
der will soon be here.
Market street will not be blocked to
traffic as long as was Washington be-
cause the contractors state that they
do not intend to begin work until ev-
erything needed is on the ground,
which will enable them to rush the
work to an early completion.
