prove fatal. One car was equipped
with Miller hook coupler audthe oth
er one a common bumper, and in com
ing together, the hook slipped by
catching Stewart between the cars
crushing him seriously. He may not
be fatally hurt but as he is injured in
ternally, time will develope itsscrjous
uess. Tbe Junction City Times says: The
twelve-year old son of Henry Scywell,
who lives about seven miles west of
here met with an accident Wednesday
which came near costing him his life.
He reoeived a severe kick from a
horse, the hoof striking him in the

Three young men started last Fri
day from the City Hall in New York

That itself is nothing remarkable, but
the strange part of their long journey
is that It is to lie performed without
eating any food. The leader of the
party is a chemist who claims to have
discovered an elixir made from a
Muduggscnr herb that will sustain life.
He has tried the elixir himself for sev
eral days without eating no food at all,
and now his Idea is to make a crucial
test of this dlsoovery by substainlng
himself and his two companions on it
during a walk across the continent,
which will be admitted to be as severe
a test as could be devised.
The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam,
of McKessport, Pennsylvania, lu the
treatment of diarrhoea in her child
ren will undoubtedly be of interest to
many mothers. She says: "I spent
several weeks in Johnstown, Pa., after
the great flood, on account of my
husband being employed there. We
had several children with us, two of
whom took the diarrhoea very badly.
I got some of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from
Rev. Chapman. It cured both of
them. I knew of several ether cases
where it was equally successful. I
think it cannot be excelled and cheer
fully reoommend It." 25 and 50 cent
bottles for sale by M. A. Miller, Drug
gist. Two farmers were not loug siuoe dis
cussing their local newspaper. One
trfought it hud too many advertise
ments In it. The other replied. "In
my opinion tbe advertisements are far
from being the least valuable part of
It. I look them over earful ly and save
at least five times the cost of the paper
each week through itsbusiues advanta
ges I get from them." Said the other;
"I believe you are right I know that
they pay me well and rather think it
is not taste to find fault with the ad
vertisements after all." Those men
have the right idea of the matter. It
pays any man witb a family to take a
good local paper for tbe sake of the
advertisement if nothing more. And
if business men fall to give farmers a I
chance to read advertisements in the
local paper they are blind to their owu
interests, to Bay tbe least of it. "You
have never invited uie to your pluce of
business and I never go where I am
not invited, I might not be welcome,"
was his reply.

Here is how the Seattle banks held
their own according to the Portland
Welcome. The banks in Seattle
formed a union, through which all the
lock boxes in the safe deposit vaults
were bought up and It was agreed that
when one bank would be forced to
olose that they would all Immediately
do the same, aud if a deposit was
drawn from a bank, aud the party
withdrawing such money should wish
to deposit it in some other bank, and
such bank and all others, would re
fuse the deposit, thus forcing the de
positor to return to his own bank or
hide his fudns away.
Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the
Graphic, Texarkaua, Arkansas, has
found what he believes ;to be the best
remedy in existance for the flux. His
experience is well worth remember
ing. He says: "Last summer I had
a very severe attack of flux. I tried
almost every knowu remedy, none
giving relief. Chamberlain's Chollc,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy wag
recommeuded to nie. I purchased a
bottle aud received almost immediate
relief. I continued to use the medi
cine and as entirely cured. I take
pleasure iu recommending this remedy
to any person suffering with such a
disease, as iu my opinion it is the best
medicine in existance." 25 and 50
cent bottles for sale by M. A. Miller
Druggist.

fixtures for a claim of $2000, whioh is
in the form of a mortgage given last
February. The proprietors of tbe bauk
state that their assets are about $61100
and they owe f2O00, so the depositors
no not feel very uneasy and no partic
ular excitement exists. Some of the
depositors were given notes to settle
their claims: No doubt all of the de
positors will be paid in full, aud the
bank will cease business.
