Victoria Baked at Death Order

Shortly after Queen Victoria took
The throne of England it was requir-
cd or her to sign death warrant.
she was in an agony of regret and
put off the signing as long as posi-
Die. AT length the Duke of yelling
ton presented her the fatal paper. 1t
was for the execution of soldier
who had deserted three times. The
queen with tears in her eyes FUN
Died the pen and then dropped it,
Is there anything you can say for
the man." she asked We'll, some
people have testified to his moral
character" slowly replied the stern
Old soldier. "IIe is certainly Il very
bad soldier; maybe he is a good
man otherwise" The queen laughed
out loud with relief and exclaimed.
On, thank you for that n thousand
tmes.' She scrawled across the pa
per and added her name The duke
picked II up and only smiled grimly
when he read, "Pardoned, Victoria"

FORT MILL STORES ROBBED.
Phces OF J. b. Mills Company and
Young & Wolfe Entered by Negro.

fnceS OF d. Is. Mills Company and
Young & Wolfe Entered by Negro.
Within few hours after lie had
broken into and robbed the general
E'tTchand;:'e store of the ]. b. ,Iil 8
company of srSS and the furniture
store OF Young & Wolfe Of $3.50,
Andrew Dunlap, young negro mar.
was in the custody Of Magistrates
Constable Joe f. Lee. on whose farm
near town he was employed as Il Ia
borer, ready to be taken to Jail in
York to await trial at the next term
OF the court of general sessions for
York county. All Of the money sto-
len by Dunlap was recovered and
he made full confession of the rob-
berries. according to Constable Lee.
Dunlap was taken to Jail Friday af-
teroon.
When J. T.. Young of the firm of
Young & Wolfe came down town to
his store Friday morning and dis
covered that the money drawer had
been robbed and that an unsuccess-
fu1 effort also had been made to
break into the Office safe, he at once
suspected that Andrew Dunlap was
tho guilty man, from the fact that
Dunlap had recently done some work
on the roof of the building and was
familiar with the construction of the
trap door therein, through which
entrance had been gained to effect
the robbery. Mr.. Young at once got in
In touch with Constable Lee and re-
ported the robbery.
Meanwhile Constable Lee had
learned of the Mills store robbery.
He soon located and arrested Dun
lap. who. after little persuasion,
told Mr.. Lee that he had robbed both
stores and was ready to turn over
to Mr.. Lee the money he had sto-
len from them. Just as Mr.. Young
had suspected, Dunlap said he en-
tered the Young & Wolfe store
through the door in the roof and had
raised rear window to get into the
Mills company store. where he found
the $1SS he stole therefrom in the
Office safe, which was not locked
Dunlap had the principal part OF the
S195 sccreted in n bag of lime at his
home.
DUNLAP Is said to have been ,~
trouble before for stealing Also II
- said that he is one of the best
farm hands in this section of the
country.

VIROQUA

ROUND PRAIRIE, January H.
Well, we are much like the rest of the
country in having cold weather and
fine sleighing. Our community SYM
pathizes with neighbor, Mrs. Ed Mich
OILS, in the loss of dear mother, Mrs.
Henderson, who died at her home in
Edgerton, after a long and useful life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nichols attended the
funeral. We are also disappointed be-
cause the Nichols are soon to leave
us and return to Viroqua to reside, the
farm they have leased for some years,
the property of DIR. Henderson, broth
er of Mrs. Nichols, having been sold.
On January 81, all the live stock and
personal property will be sold at auc-
ton. 1t will be one of the largest
sales of live stock and farm equipment
given in the county. =. Quite touch
of small pox in our neighborhood the
past month, but our school has not
been affected thereby. A number of
families have had the epidemic, but
few have been very i'll. Thomas
Stevens received word that their son,
Teddy was confined in Madison hos
pital because of small pox, having to
suspend his studies in the university
because of it. Will Norris new hog
house looms up like a bright spot on
the moon, and he's proud of the sty
and the fine line of Poland Chinas he
breeds. He and Ray Vergeront will
enter brood sows in the Poland sale to
be held in the fair ground breeders
pavilion, February 2. Thomas Smell
bought and pressedtwo stacks of straw
on the Stevens farm. s.. The young
people in the Matson family west Of
Viroqua, spent Sunday with their cou-
sins, the A. N. Olson family. Little
Virginia Vergeront had a birthday
party on Sunday, her fifth anniver-
sary, a number of the neighboring
families and children joining in the
happy time, Grandpa Munson being
present to help in the good time
Harold Nichols will take q position
as farm foreman at the county asylum
the first of March. He had intended
to go to Canada TO try his luck
II. r. Vergeront has disposed of tim
Der from four acres, to be taken from
the northwestern section Of his woods
pasture by neighbOrs, they to clear the
land before spring. There is gen.
eral acknowledgment that we have a
splendid school this winter, with Miss
Ruth Ernest as teacher. The number
of attendants is about full capacity of
the house. One of the best Christ
mas tree entertainments we have had
for years was given for the holiday
vacation. Case weather is just now
prayed for. Few have completed tax
ing down their crops. Both Nichols
and Norris cleaned up and received
big wads Of the long green for their
holdings. "R.UP." for Round Prai-

A SIXTEEN YEARS
SEARCH Is ENDED!
YOUNG SAYS TANLAC DID THE
THE WORK WHEN EVERY
THING ELSE HAD FAILED

when / found Tanlac, nv search
of sixteen years for a medicine or
treatment that would overcome my
troubles, was ended" said James
Young, well known carpenter who
lives at 467 Cramer street, Milwau-
kee, Wis, the other day.
Il spent a small fortune for medi-
cine and treatments during that time"
continued Mr.. Young, land for all the
good it did me l might as well have
thrown the money in the streets. l
had a bad case of stomach trouble.
and everything | ate would sour and
l would be so badly swollen from gas
afterwards that | would be perfectly
miserable. Sometimes this gas would
rise up into my chest and cause my
heart to p&ipitate something awful,
and l would have the worst sort of
smothering spells. | was badly con-
stlpated all the time, and | honestly
belleve l had the worst spells of head
aches human ever had. | would
frequently roll and toss all night long
and not sleep wink, and when morn
ing came | was so tired and weak
could hardly get out of bed and dress
myself. | also suffered from bilious
ness, and finally got so weak and run
down that | lost lots of time from
my work, and in fact, | had to spend
a good portion of my time in bed.
Then | heard about Tanlac. and
thought | would give it trial. Well.
sir, have only been taking this medi-
cine short time, but it's the honest
truth, | have improved so much that
| can get out and do as much work in
day now as l could in a week be-
fore l began taking it. Why, it is
simply wonderful the way Tanlac has
overcome all my trouble after every
thing else | tried had failed to even
give me temporary relief. | have
! gained a good deal in weight, and can
Just feel my strength coming back
to me right along. / have a fine ap-
petite and can eat just anything |
want without suffering afterwards. In
fact, my stomach seems to be in first
class condition now | am no longer
constipated, and never have a head
ache any more. / don't have to roll
and toss at night now, but when | hit
the bed | just stretch out and 90 to
sleep and am dead to the world until
time to get up in the morning. |
nave never seen or hoard of anything

that 1t did the work for me after ev-
erything else tried had failed"
