Don’t forget the old man with the fish on his back. > For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh he so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott’s Emulsion of pure cod liver oil—a delightful food and a natural tonic for children, for old folks and for all who need flesh and strength. 4o§^o r pt«??8t?15L Ch N , 2wVortc.

CITY NEWS.

The buck-saw men should not be turned entirely down these days even if they do charge more for sawing wopd than the buzz saws do. They and their families have to live, and they can’t make a living sawing wood at 50cents a cord. The 2 p. m. train south this afternoon struck a wagon at Lowell and totally pulverized it. A man in the wagon was thrown pretty nearly into the next township but was not hurt. The horses hitched to the wagon were not hurt, either. Geo. H. Maines and family will be residents of Rensselaer from and after today. They are moving today from his place a mile north into the Robert Randle residence on Dayton street, which he purchased some time ago. His fine big farm is rented to Fritz Zard. The ladies of the M. E. church did' a big business at their bazaar and chicken-pie dinners and sappers, yesterday. In fact had one of the most succeßsful affairs of the kind ever given here.

The Western Horseman says buyers at the Chicago stock yards declare that draft horses with weight were never as difficult to obtain and never any higher in price than at present.

Prescribed by her Physician.

Neosha Falls, Kans., N0v.13.1900 Pepsin Syrup Co. Monticello, 111. Dear Sirs:—For almost fifteen years I suffered from indigestion and last winter thought I would die, when my physician, Dr. A. J. lieuranoe, of this place, advised my trying Dr, Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which I did, and two bottles cured me. It not only relieved me, but it cured me so that I have not been troubled since. If any one should offer me >SOO for the good Syrup Pepsin has done me, I would not think of taking it. No one oan take your medicine without being ooevinoed of its more than wonderful cures. I reoommend it to all my friends as a laxitive and stomach remedy. Yours with gratitude.

MRS. J. MORGAN.

for defendants. In this suit the Grays are fighting to retain the last of-thejr once large landed possessions in this vicinity. Aunt Jane Babcock, grandmother of Mrs. P. W. Clarke, of this place, died at Hammond at the residence of a daughter one day last week. She was an early settler of Lake county, and previously to moving to Hammond lived in the vicinity of Lowell for a great many years. She was quite well known here from numerous visits to Mrs. Clarke. Her age was 77 years. She was buried at Liwell last Saturday. Capt. Erastus Peacock, the railway mail clerk, is making progress towards recovery from his sickness, although rather slowly, and with occasional back-sets, His brethren of the R. M. 0, Mutual Aid Society of Louisville, remembered him with a basket of six kinds of southern fruit and a quart bottle of “Kentucky Green River.” This latter is “for sickness only,” but callers who are good judges of that kind of Kentucky panacea will be permitted to emell of the cork,

Deaths In November.

caused 279 deaths in Indiana in November, invading hot less than 250 homes, according to the vital statistics of the State Board of Health. Of these deaths 110 were of married women between the ages of eighteen and forty, and it is estimated that they est not less than 200 orphans. The analysis of deaths by the joard, says in part: “Of the total deaths 773 or 32 per cent, were from preventable diseases, Not less than 500 homes were unnecessarily - invaded by deaths and fully 1,000 homes unnecessarily invaded by disease.” There were 825 cases of typhoid ! ever, and 146 deaths. One case out of five was fatal. The typhoid deaths occurred in 61 counties, and there was typhoid in all but 17 counties. * The total number of deaths reported 2,406. The number in the corresponding month last year was 2,402. Cancer caused 94 deaths. Smallpox for the twenty-second consecutive month, led the list as most prevalent. The number of cases in October was 208 and in November 441. There were fewer deaths however, in the last named month, the figures nineteen in October and two in November. Thirty-five counties were invaded in October and forty in November.

Keeping Apples.

Charley Buckley has put away about seventy five bushels of apples from his own orchard, which he is keeping in the same method that he has used so successfully before. He stores them in dry forest leaves in the cellar and last year kept such varieties as white pippins, wine saps and even Grimes’ Golden into the month of April without a loss exceeding ten per cent. Mr. Buckley claims this is a better showing than can be made by the cold storage warehouses. He arranges the leaves and the apples in alternate layers in bin or barrel and the leaves protect the frnit by absorbing the moisture and preventing constant change in the atmosphere. The fruit retains its natural flavor and does not wilt or rot.—Delphi Journal.
