Mrs. O. D. Thomas.

Rachel A. Barkliurst was born in Benton county, Indiana, on the 27th day of May, 1851. Her mother died when she was but fivre years of age, when she went to live with her aunt, •Rachel Swift. After her father married the second time she was taken home again and at the age of sixteen she with her parents, removed to Dailington, Ind., and was married to Oscar D. Thomas on Nov. 4, 18GS, at the age of eigliteen.years. Soon after her marriage she with her husband moved to Linden, where she resided until her death. She united with the M. E. church in 1873, and was soundly converted to God on her way home from meeting. She was the mother of six children, two of whom, a girl and a boy, died each in infancy. Four children, Myrtle J.,«Eva P., Orin C. and

Guy E. with the husband father remain, to mourn her loss. She leaves one •brother, Calvin D. Barkhurst, of Kan-

sas, and one sister, Sarah J. Richardson, of Indianapolis. While she was not of a demonstrative disposition in church work and religious experience, yet all who knew her intimately can 'bear testimony to her piety of heart and true godliness of life which speaks louder than words or mere profession. She was a devoted wife and a loving and indulgent mother, ever patient and kind in her family and of the broadest charity for the faults of others. She was a most obliging neighbor, and generousous toward the needy. Never did anyone go away from her door hungry, and truly it may be said that she was a friend to all and all were her friends. For years she has been a great sufferer. All that kinds friends and loving hearts could do to make her comfortable was most cheerfully rendered all that medical skill in administering remedies could do to effect a cure was given, but in vain, and the last and only resort left was a surgical operation, which was skillfully and successfully performed, and but for other complications which set in she would soon have been able to return to her home and friends.

She died in Indianapolis on Oct. 24, 1895, aged 44 years, four months and 27 day6. She fully realized the possibilities that might result in her case, but was calm, resigned and courageous, saying she was not afraid to die. She talked as calmly and deliberately about the operation as she would about any ordinary affair of every day life, and met it all with perfect composure. She has gone from us, but the gentle, cheerful, sunny life she lived has made its impress upon all who knew her, and will leave sweet memories with •those who still survive. May her noble and exemplary life inspire all to kindly deeds and tender ministrations to the needy and sufferings with whom vc meet along the way of life.

GOT INTO TROUBLE.

Tom Foster and Riley Vail, of Linden, Carry Concealed Weapons to Tlieir Sorrow.

Tuesday about 0:30 p.m. o'clock Officer McCoy started after Tom Foster and Riley Vail, of Linden, who were making too much noise near the Monon station. Officer McCoy states that they entered the alley near Williams' lumber yard on Green street and 3tarted west, Foster deliberately turning and shooting at him when he started afterr them. Officer McCoy asserts that he distinctly heard the hiss of the ball as it passed him. He then began the pursuit in earnest and captured the men near the Old Town cemetery. They were placed in jail, after being disarmed. Upon Vail's person were found a revolver and a vicious pair of iron knuclts. Foster was unarmed. It was ascertained in the Mayor's court Wednesday that Vail had taken the pistol away from Foster after he shot, rebuking him for the rash act. Both men protested that Foster had merely fired in the air and Vail stated the dangerous looking knucks were not his but a friend's. Mayor Bandel fined them §50 apiece and costs and bound Foster over to the circuit court in -the sum of S500 on a charge of assault with intent to kill.

A MARVELOUS DOCTOR.

Julien Kerry, M. D., EU'eots Wonderful Cancer Cures.—Ills Methods are Sound and Safe.

Much has been said of late regarding our fellow citizen, Dr. Julien Berry and his wonderful cancer cure, yet but few people can appreciate the truthfulness of the statements regarding him until they witness his mode of treatment or converse with some of the grateful patients he has cured. Two weeks ago a Mrs. Ashamore, of Oakland, 111., came here as a last resort in hopes of having her life saved by Dr. Berry. She had a cancer on her left heart that measured about three by six inches and directly over the heart. Four pounds of flesh had been cut from her by quack doctors in an effort to check [the deadly growth of the cancer, but still it returned. Mrs. Ashniore will leave this city Monday permanently cured and without having undergone one surgical operation or the least pain. Doctor Berry also effected similarly remarkable cures on John Hill, of Hazelrigg, whose face was almost entirely eaten away by a cancer of fourteen years growth and torture, and a Mr. Davis, of Alamo, who had a cancer on his nose, besides a dozen others before mentioned.

The writer of this sketch witnessed the treatment of Mrs.Ashmore and Mr. Hill can vouch for statements made.

Wm. Moore, of near Ladoga, is now taking Dr. Berry's treatment and is do-

Another embryonic "Robert J" has had its prospects blighted and its legs cut off by the ever deadly Clover Leaf engine. Ed Coleman had several fine young horses and one of them was his especial favorite. It was only a two-year-old but had already evidenced great speed and had make a mark of seventeen minutes on the Linden gravel road. In an evil hour this promising colt climbed the Clover Leaf embankment to view the landscape o'er la quest of an inviting corn field not surrounded by a barb wire fence. He had just glued his unimpaired optic on such a haven of plenty when the Clover Leaf engine slipped up behind him and placed him forever beyond the want of corn or currying. It also placed him about 75 feet beyond the right of way. Mr. Coleman has entered suit'in the circuit court for 8100 damages.

LINDEN.

Health prevails in this community, It is reported that diphtheria has got in our schools but we hope it is a mistake.

The sick are doing fine, with the exception of John Foster, and he is slowly improving.

Some of the people are killing their hogs and putting them away by a new method to keep them from catching the cholera.

All the old soldiers and widows have signed their vouchers and will receive their checks from Uncle Sam, before many days pass.

The new corn is very nice" and sound and is coming in at this place at a rapid gait, but our grain man can handle all that comes his way.

J. S. Bennett has added another insurance company to his line. It is the Manchester of England. He says that he can write a fire policy as cheap as any agent.

No mystery about it. When the Shakers offered some time ago to give away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial to any one who might call at their New York office, there was a great rush and a great many people thought they were crazy.

Subsequent events prove it to have been a very clever advertising transaction, for although they gave away thousands of bottles, it was in the end profitable nearly every one that took a free bottle came back for more and paid for it with pleasure, saying they had derived better results from its use than from any other medicine they had ever used.

There is nothing so uniformly successful in the treatment of stomach troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and what is better than all, it relieves at once.

LAXOL, the new form of Castor Oil, is so palatable that children lick the spoon clean.
