O- teacueiß phia numismatists have retAtethodist c interest the announcement designs for United States coins by artist, August Saint Gaudens, have been accepted by the government, Three denominations will be affected, the double eagle, the eagle and the bronze cent. A radical change is made in the design of the cent, and though the India” head will be retained, it will bear little resemblance to the old one, and is expected to be more characteristic of the head of the American Indian with real head dress instead of the present design. The present Indian head is really a Caucausian type, .the face "having been posed for by a little daughter of James M. Lognacre, the engraver of the Philadelphia mint, who designed the present penny in 1859. ' More radical changes are noted in the design for the ten dollar gold coin. While the obverse still shows the head of liberty, on the reverse is a flying eagle, closely modeled after the pattern of the dollars and half dollars of 1836 and 1838. Christian Gobrecht, who designed these coins, used as his model “Peter, "■ the live eagle; known as the “mint bird,” which, having its home at the mint in this city, flew all over town, returning each night to roost at the mint, and which was afterward killed by being caught in the machinery of the plant. — ■■ o X VERA CRUZ WOMAN DEADWas Past Four Score Years of Age— Born in Switzerland. Mnnday occurred the death ojf Mrs. Barbara Steffens, wife of Peter Steffens, who lives near Vera Cruz.

Barbara Steffens was born in Berne Switzerland, December 11, 1825, and came to America in her youth. Shortly after she arrived in this country she was united in marriage to Peter Steffens. She died August 12, 1907, at the age of nearly eighty-two years. Seven children, Enoch, Tobias, Pet-, ■er, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Mrs. John Mailer and Mrs. John Kipfer survive her. The funeral was held at the Christian Apostle church today with interment in the church cemetery. o AN ARMY SERGEANT IS HERE. Looking for Recruits for the United States Army. - -- - -■> Walter A.

W th I will mall you! to prove merit, samples of my Dr. prop’s Destpratlve, and my book on e!U«lr Dyspepsia,The Heart or The KidnewL Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kiwieys, are merely symptoms of a deeper aliment. Don’t make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of your ailment, and not the Weak Stomach nerves, the inside nerves, mean Stomach weakness, always. And the Heart, and Kidneys, as well, have their controlling or Inside nerves. Weaken these nerves, and you inevitably have weak vital organs. Here is where Dr. Shoop's Restorative had* made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the “inside* nerves.” Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath or complexions, use Dr. Shoop’d Restorative. Write me today for sample and free Book.
