Iron Belt Resident Dead.

In the death of John Toomey the
village of Iron Belt loses one of
its old and respected citizens. The
final summons came to him at 1850
Thursday evening, blood poisoning
being the immediate cause of his
death with tuberculosis of the bones
as contributory, with which he had
been afflicted for many years.
Mr.. Toomey was 43 years old,
unmarried, and for more than thir-
ty years had been a resident of Iron
Belt, where he leaves two sisters.
Mrs. John Trionc and Mrs. Eliza
beth Brown, and two brothers,
Peter and William. Another broth
er, Robert Toomey, resides at Hibb-
ing and a fourth brother, Cornelius
Toomey, is a resident of Bessemer.
For the past several years Mr..
Toomey has served as clerk of the
Town of Knight, which includes
the village of Iron Belt, and he also
served as constable. In the early
days of the village and for many
years following he was connected
with the mining industry. The
funeral will be held Monday fore
noon from the Iron Belt Catholic
church, and burial will take place
in the Hurley cemetery. The de-
ceased was a member of the local
lodge of the Catholic Knights of
Wisconsin.

| would turn nearly blind and almost
faint, this gas would also get up a
round my heart and cause such pains
and pressure that | could hardly brea-
the. After these sick spells my head
would ache and hurt so bad | could
not bear to comb my hair. If / attemp-
ted little work about the house |
would get so nervous, weak and dizzy,
that | would simply have to give up,
aud it was really burden for me to
look after my three little children.

ed to do me one bit of good. In fact |

pondent that had little hope of gett-
ing we'll.
But Tanlac has relieved me of all
that misery and | am now feeling
just as strong and well as ever did
IN my life. There is no kind of food
but what can eat with the least
trouble from it and my appetite is so
good that | can hardly satisfy it.

and forty-two, making an actual gain
of twenty-siX pounds. and am able
to do all my work, house cleaning
