The Hammond Tribune contained a sensational article a few days ago connecting a prominent young married man of Valparaiso, with the fire at Lowell last week, and intimated that the girls were murdered to cover up the disgrace of the elder one and the fire started to obliterate the evidence of murder.

Nursery Company, Monroe, Mich., one of the leading nursery concerns in the United States, write us that they want a good live agent in this section to solicit orders for their nursery stock.

The day before Mr. Myers had been out to his farm, and on the way home passed the Reed school just as school was out. Several of the children ran up behind his rig and hung on to the back of same, and two little girls set their lunch baskets on the back of the buggy. Just then Mr. Myers started up his horse and the children were left behind, two of them minus their lunch baskets. They called to him to stop, but being quite deaf he did not hear them, and one basket and a book finally fell off the back of the buggy, while the other basket was brought home by Mr. Myers who was unaware of the fact, and supposed it had been left by someone who had taken a sack of his corn.

CURES FOR COLDS.

“Coal oil will knock any cold silly,” said C. C. Warren. “The idea of drinking coal oil may seem repugnant to some aesthetic tastes, but one tablespoonful will fix the business for the most stubborn cold tn head or body. Turpentine is another fine thing for general conditions. I firmly believe that if a man will take 15 or 20 drops of turpentine in sugar once every two months he will never be really sick. It’s an internal Turkish bath in effect and leaves the system thoroughly cleansed and in good shape to take on new strength. There’s no excuse for a cold, and it’s a dangerous thing to pass by.”—Baltimore News. Parker wants to see you before you buy that buggy.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

The Ideal Market Hob. While it is difficult to describe the ideal barrow, the following points cover the chief desirable features: In a general way, the barrow should have a smooth, finished appearance and should possess a symmetrical outline, with well balanced development in all parts. He should stand squarely on sound, strong feet, with well shaped limbs showing plenty of bone to carry him to the desirable weight without breaking down. The head and neck should be of medium weight, shoulder and ham smooth and laid evenly with the side, the former free from a shield and the hams firm and compact. There should be no deposits of surplus fat behind the shoulders. over the loins, around the tail, head or along the bottom lines. Fortunately we find the ideal type of packer’s hog in also the most profitable type for the farmer to produce. The characteristics _ described stand for economy in production, early maturity and highest market value, so that in the production of medium weight butcher hogs of high grade the interests of both the packer and the producer are conserved.—Address of J. J. Ferguson Before the Nebraska Swine Growers’ Association. Fattening Lamb*. In order to make good gains for the early winter market lambs must be brought to the barns at night by Nov. 1 and fed some hay in racks and small grain In yards, says a Michigan sheep raiser In Chicago Inter Ocean. About Nov. 20 I begin to keep them in yards and Increase the feed of grain and hay and gradually decrease their ration of grass. By this method I have made them weigh twenty-five pounds more by Jan. 1 than they did in November. Corn, oats and clover hay are all that I ever feed. The Ist of November I feed corn and oats, half and half, by weight, giving them all they will eat, and by Dec. 1 I feed a quart of oats by measure and try to have them eating a pound per head. By Jan. 1 I feed all corn and from one to one and one-fourth pounds per head, or as much grain as I am able to have them eat in a day. They are kept In the bams all the time except when they are fed grain in the morning, at 7 o’clock at night and 4 in the afternoon, when they are allowed to go into the yards. The hay is put into racks indoors, and water is kept before them constantly.

Unwilling Contributors.

The holders of life insurance policies have been handsome contributors to Republican campaign funds, and when farther investigation shows that the trusts and the railroads gave to “the cause” the wonder will be that there were as many honest voters as the returns show voted for the Democratic Candidates for the past few years. 1

You Must Sleep. If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon develope into nervous prostration. Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; it is a part of her building, and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore exhausted vitality. Dr. Miles’ Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and removes the congestion. It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens every nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs. Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles’ Nervine. “During the past -winter I had two attacks of LaGrlppe -which left me very weak, and In bad condition. I was so nervous I could not sleep. My Wife, after trying- different remedies, went for a doctor. The doctor was out, and a neighbor recommended Dr. Miles’ Nervine, and she brought homo a bottle. I had not slept for some time, and had terrible pains in my head. After taking a few doses of Nervine the pain was not so severe, and I slept. I am now taking the second bottle, and cm verv much imnroved.” HENRY M. SMITH, Underhill, VL Dr. Mlles’ Nervine la sold by your* druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If It falls, he will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind
