When they are allowed to run month after month without any change they become stale and unprofitable to both the reader and advertiser.

The youthful twain, Pritz and Reed, were taken before Justice Tischer at 9 o’clock last Saturday morning to answer to the charge of stealing tobacco from S. D. Martin’s store. The boys plead guilty and were bound over for trial at the September term of the St. Joseph circuit court. In default of bail they were taken to South Bend by Constable Cook on Saturday where they were incarcerated in the county jail to await

their trial. The boys seemed to be feeling quite good when they were taken in charge by the constable and treated the matter of going to jail as something very fine. They were the heroes of all the small boys in towm who looked upon them with eyes filled with envy. But when the two young heroes got to the jail and saw their cells they experienced a change of heart and broke down crying. The boys are quite young, and if convicted will probably receive a sentence in the reform school.

The smoke-stack at the water works stat'on was twisted out of shape last Wednesday evening by the strong wind. The stack was weak, having been eaten thin in several places by rust. This was caused by condensed smoke from keeping the damper closed too tightly in order to save coal when the water works plant was first put into operation. The trouble was discovered in a few weeks, but too late to prevent serious damage to the stack. A new one similar to the old one will be put up, and by avoiding the mistake above mentioned it will probably last for ' several years. The cost of the new one will be about S3O.

Depression of Spirits so common in summer-time, accompanied by loss of energy, lack of thought-power, means a deficient supply of nourishment. The vital force is lost. It isn’t a question of muscle and sinew, but of resistance and endurance. At any age, but especially in youth, it involves the risk of lung disease.

A Physician’s Tribute To the Benefits Received From Dr. Mil, s' NEW HEART CURE. 5' 6 I HEART DISEASE is curable.

had a constant fluttering of the heart and severe palpitation and | pain in the left side. । She took three bottles | of Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure and was completely restored to health, I and has not taken a
