BUnd During Attacks Of Heart Failure. Would Appear To Be Dead. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure Believed and Cured. “I have no hesitation in saying that Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is all that one can wish it to be. I was troubled with heart disease for fifteen years. I have tried many different remedies but until I tried Dr. Milca’ Heart Cure I could find no relief. I was subject to headaches and had tried your Pain Pilla lid they were so effective I thought your Heart Cure might help me. I would have attack! at times so severe that I would be stone blind for the time being. During these spells I would be to all appearances dead. I took the medicine strictly as directed end I can truthfully say that I am completely cured. I advise all that are troubled with heart disease to take Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure at once. I write this and give my name to my fellow sufferers.”—S. E. rurdy, Atkinson. Nebraska. “I first felt the effects of a weak heart in the fall of 18961 1 saw an advertisement in the Sioux City paper in which a man stated his symptoms which seemed to me to indicate a trouble similar to mine. 1 had a soreness in the chest at times, and in my shoulder, an oppressive choking sensation ia my threat ana suffered from weak and hungry spells. 1 was truly frightened at my condition and procured six bottles of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. Since taking my first bottle I have never been bothered by any of the old disagreeable symptoms and now am well and considermjT cure permanent”—Lewis Andersen, All druggists sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles’ Remedies.

HE STOPPED HIS PAPER.

He would atop the local paper to eco noisin' be Mid. The dollar that it coat him he would mv«. Said he tu to buty working that the aheet waa never read, And other reasona weighty then he gave. “Nothing in it that’a worth reading,” waa the thought he had in mind. And he chucked that he’d saved a dollar bill. But while neighbors were progressing he waa left so far behind That the bunco men could aee lym standstill. He didn't see the warning 'gainst the sharpers going around ' With cheap pot-metal ranges called the beat; And the contract aigned to take one to hia horror soon be found A note he had to pay with internet. Next be signed a little paperfor a pair of wily guys Who Mid the fact would help 'em sell their trees. And in just three mouths thereafter, to bis very great surprise. The local bank wrote: "Pay this, if you please.” One bright day a fellow met him and said, "Say, I’ll buy your land And give you just six thousand for the place.” And the owner said, “I’ll take it; put the money in my hand,” So the straoger posted forfeit with good grace. But next day another fellow hove in sight and offered more. And the owner paid a premium to the first. Then when both the sharpers faded loud the * owner then did roar, For he saw that in the deal he’d got the wont. Next he bought a lot of woolens from a mau who whispered low He'd smuggled them and so could sell them cheap. Then when he set out to wear them quick and fast his tean did flow— The stuff was but base libel on a sheep. Then a wily gold brick artist filled his ears with thoughts of gain. He said a chance like that should never pass. So he hustled for the money with his utmost might and main, And paid it for a shining chunk of brass. When he’d squandered all his money and and he’d mortgaged all his land He realized he'd been a blooming dunce; And he struck out for the village with a dollar in his hand And hunted up the editor at once. “I have got to have your paper, and here’s fora year ahead, He shouted as he struck the office door. “I have saved one blasted dollar, but of thousands I've been bled, ! And I'll never stop my paperany more."

“A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.”

Messrs. Jacobs and Underner have made an elaborate production of one of the latest successful melodramas ever written, “A Break for Liberty,” in which the scenes are laid in and around Pittsburg, and taking for the sabject the escapades of the late Biddle Brothers. The story of the piece is full of intense dramatic interest which will hold its audience from the rise of the curtain until the final termination of the fifth act of the play. To those that have followed the history of the Biddles from the time of their arrest in Pittsburg until their escape fiom the connty jail in that city, their struggle against great odds for life and liberty and their final capture and death, one can see at a glance the great possibilities for dramatic action.

The anthor has departed from the everyday melodrama where the villian, hero, heroine or someone else in the play must be shot every few minutes. It is true that in “A Break for Liberty” the play is not complete without the use of gunpower. What melodrama would be complete without it? The use of fire arms comes into legitimate play daring two of the scenes, the escape from the Pittsbnrg jail and the desperate battle which takes place in a blinding snow storm, between the officers of the law on one side, the Biddle Brothers and the warden’s wife on the other. Messrs. Jacobs and Underner have not stopped at expense for this production. Money has been spent freely and lavishly, and it can be stated without hesitation that a production will be furnished that will not be surpassed by any attraction playing the popular booses. The cast will be an exceptionally strong one, containing the names of artists that are well known to the theatre-going public, and willbe seen at Ellis opera house, Saturday, Oct. 31.

KOHN WAS DRUNK.

Henry Kohn, a not overly bright boozer who has been working for John Kajcr, west of town, attempted to force an entrance into John Rash’s residence in the northwest part of town last Friday evening, while under the influence of liquor, evidently thinking there was no one at home, and was discovered by Mrs. Rush after he had pried up a window and got partly through the same into the room. He was driven away and went to another side of the house and made another attempt to enter. Ed. Warren had been telephoned for during this time and soon appeared upon the scene wjth a revolver. When Kohn saw Mr. Warren he started to ran, and three shots were necessary to

bring him to a stop, none of which hit him, however. He wee finally landed in jail. He waa arraigned before Squire Irwin Tuesday and waa fined $2 and costs for dfrankenness, $13,05 all told, which waa paid by Mr. Karr, hia employer.

THE “YELLOW" SIDE OF IT.

Commenting on the late carnival held at Monticello, the White County Democrat says: The order on the streets wae excellent throughout, and our officers together with the management of the Merchants’ Association are entitled to the commendation of the entire community on this feature of the affair. The gambling devices said to have been located in the different saloons, and the fake sparring match at the opera honse Friday night were the worst blots on the whole affair. They should have been prohibited.

BIG CONTRACT IN SIGHT.

John O’Conner of Kniman, who is agent for the Anchor Fencing company of South Bend, is to secure a big contract for hia fencing from the C. & E. I. railroad. He was in Chicago last week where he met several directors and engineers of the road, who thought very favorably of his fence and who gave him assurance that he most likely would receive the contract. If John lands the work it will mean a great deal to him as the Frisco system, owners of the C. &. E. 1., are constructing a new short route between Chicago and St. Louis, which will require a doable fence the entire length of the road. It will also mean that he will supply the road with new fencing jalong their entire system, as fast as it is required. Mr. O’Connor has been instructed by the company to supply them with 1,000 rods of fencing at once and if it proves satisfactory there is no further doubt of his landing the contract. *

THE CORN SHOW.

About seventy-five entries were made in the corn show engineered by A. McCoy, and they were all fine ones, too. Messrs. Robinson and Wood, two Chicago commission men, judged the exhibits Wednesday afternoon and awarded premiums as follows: White corn —L. H. Myers, Jordan tp., Ist; Cecil Clouse, Marion tp., 2d.

Hon. E. P. Honan was called for and made a few appropriate remarks on the development of Jasper county, and among other things, said that he hoped the time would be from now on that we would have corn shows and stock shows instead of street carnivals and hoochie-coothie dances, and the farmers present cheered this pert of his remarks to the echo.
