Worth Several Dead Men.

J. E.( MoCraoken, usually known aa Ed. MoCraoken, who formerly was in the shoe business in Rensselaer, now a commercial traveler with headquarters at Lincoln, Neb., writes baok to a Rensselaer friend, denying most emphatically that he is the Ed MoCraoken who lately went the morphine route at Lincoln. That was another Ed MoCraoken, although he, also, was from Indiana. Our Ed seems prosperous and happy and with no reason nor disposition to take a short out into the hereafter before he is obliged to. Chronic diseases a speciality, Dr. Merrill.
