There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and for years it
was supposed to be incurable. Doc
tors prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Catarrh is local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional conditions
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Medicine,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,

RENEWED TESTIMONY.

No one in Perrysburg who suffers
backache, headaches or distressing

Perrysburg Yoman's twice-told story.

Mrs. Caroline E. Walters, Sixth and
Cherry Sts., w., gave the following
statement July 20, 1905: "Sharp pains
in my back would often shoot up
through my shoulders. When the at
tacks came on l could hardly get up
from chair and there was a dull,
tiring ache in my. back most all the

ness and suffered with headaches, too.

UNUSUAL. EVENT
IN A[)tAIS (Il()N1Y

S. w. Butler Of Quincy tells OF a
most unusual occurrence in that com
munity last Tuesday night, says the
Adams Advertiser.
About $50 a distinct earthquake
shock was felt, severe enough to rat
tie dishes in the cupboards and turn
hampers in stovepipes. Also bright
flashes of light were observed. Mr..
Atchey, who was returning to his
home, saw a large ball Of fire fall to
the ground ahead Of him and thinks
he knows about where it struck the
earth. A number who heard the &C.
companying noise thought e was
caused by falling of rock from Lone
Rock, but investigation proved not.
The opinion is that it was meteor
that struck the earth. The shock was
felt and the light seen at White Creek
and Easton, a distance of eight and
ten miles. Perhaps we will hear more
of this later. The finder Of the
meteoric stone will be we'll repaid, as
a good specimen is worth from $50
to $100.

nYSTE YOF DEATH
EIGHTEEN YEARS
AG()IS CLEARED
Former Resident Of Spring Green
Falls Into a Shaft in Nebraska anti
Fact just Comes to Light

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of. Ivan harrington, born in
GprinS Green N 1858, has been cleared.
The remains Of the missing man have
been found in an abandoned shaft at
Galena, Kansas. His parents, Mr.. and
Mrs C. w. Harrington, reside at Falls
City, Nebr., his mother being remem-
bered in Spring Green as the daughter
Of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kiefer
of that village. A recent issue Of the
Falls City News says:
C. w. harrington received a telegram
January 8, 1918, saying that the re-
mains Of Ivan e. Harrington were found
in shaft at Galena, Kansas. Mr.. Far
rington wired that he would come at
once, and left Thursday morning.
The remains were found at the bot
tom of a ninety-foot shaft and after
eighteen years Mr.. Harrington positive
ly identified them by means Of articles
found, among them a key ring with the
rame plate and address, gold watch
and chain, fountain pen, purse and
memorandum book with full name and
address and containing On one page a
4c-1G list oI ca ET&I3 city friends. \
white silk handkerchief and the wool
en- suit were well preserved.
This particular shaft was along the
pathway to his home and was about
one block from where he w9s last
seen and at that time the graYelled
path passed within q short distance
of it,
1t is the supposition OF the authori-
ties IN GaIena that the pathway along
the shaft contained light coating
of ice that night, and he stenped to
one side to avoid the ice and in the
darkness stepped into the shaft.
The high price of lead and zinc is
responsible for the finding Of the
body. The old shaft was being cleaned
out to resume operations.
Mr.. harrington returned with the
remains Saturday evening. Services
were held at the home Monday after
noon at $50 with Rev. Cady O. the
Presbyterian church in charge. The
interment was in the family lot in
Steele cemetery.
Ivan Earl harrington, oldest son of
G.. w. and Mary A. Farington was
horn in Spring Green, Wis, December
9. 1853. Disappeared in Galen2. Kan,
December 1, 1899. Nearly thirty-one
years of age. He moved with his par
ents to Blue Rapids. Kansas, iii 1873.
In 1883 the family moved TO Falls
CITY, where he spent his boyhood and
early manhood.
He finished the Falls City high
school in 1885 For some time after
wards be was associated in the. mer-
camille business with his father For
seven years he was employed in the
First National bank Of Falls City. leav-
ing this business to engage in mining
operations with his father in Galena,
Kansas, in October, 1898.

(By Associated Press)

SPA, Belgium, Dec 26.-The former
general staff Is disclosing some ex-
traordinarily queer facts these days
about the men who engineered the
world Take for one, Hindenburg,
Germany's super-man, around whom
reams of poetry have been written,
disclosing him as fearless Napo-
leon leading his troops to victory. AS
a matter of fact he spent a great deal
of time in wonderfully constructed
"funk-hole" or dugout, underneath the
grounds of his villa here.
Spa. it may be noted. is almost on
the German border and so far from
where battle lines used to be that it
was almost a days journey in fast
motor car to get within sound of the
big guns. The kaiser. too, had sim
liar hiding place at Neubois, near a
comic opera trench system about
which he is said to have paraded for
the benefit Of motion pictures. At
each of their villas there were deli
cate electrical instruments which
would set up furious buzzing when
ever an airplane approached any
where near. At the first sound from
this contrivance, Hindenburg and the
kaiser used to run to shelter, 1t is
reported. People who worked about
Hindenburg's establishment, said that
he was continually running for cover.
Americas Representatives on the In
ternational armistice commission, are
now occupying HindenbuTg's head
quarters and they were amazed when
they discovered this underground
refuge of the great warrior. The en-
trance was through the dining room.
From there flight of steps led down
to a tiled ante-room which by the
way now serves as very good pantry
for the Americans
From the tiled room there was an
other fight of steps that led down to
the real dug-out This was blocked
by a huge iron door about one inch
IN thickness which could be locked
from the inside only. Within. it was
fastened by double bolt which would
do credit to an American banking es-
tablishment.
The dug out itself was iuxuriously
equipped On the floor was heavy
fiowered carpet and Louis XIV table
and chairs added TO the artistic ar
-angement. The walls which were
of corrugated iron were painted solid

AMERICANS HELD IN
GERMANY APPEAL
T0THE PRESIDENT

MUNICH. Tuesday, Dec. "a. A
group Of Americans of German birth
who have been in Munich throughout
the war, unable to secure American
passports. met last evening and drew
up petition to President Wilson ask
ing for quick food relief for Germany
and also assistance in communicating
with their friends and relatives in the
United States.
The meeting was marked by. ad-
dresses by those who favored asking
Bluntly for passports. since all are
desirous of going to America. but it
was decided to postpone the request
until later. The meeting considered
taking steps toward getting in touch
with other Americans SIMILARLY situat-
ed in Germany. specially colony of
native born Americans in Munich,
who have refused to actively associate
with the German Americans.
All such efforts have thus far been
frustrated by the police who have re-
fused to give the addresses Of Ameri-
cans residing here. Appeals to ad-
vertisements in the newspapers have
also proved futile.
