That's the way it begins. Little things disturb you. You are irritable, restless and worry over trifles. Your heart jumps- -and palpitates at every sudden noise, you • can't concentrate your mind on your, work, your memory fails and you do not sleep well at night. In the morning you feel weak and exhausted, with no appe-

"Worry and overwork brought on nervous prostration and I got almost no sleep at all. I became entirely unfitted for business and traveled in hopes of finding relief. After visiting several sanitariums and spending several thousand dollars in a vain search for health, I returned home worse than ever. It took only twenty bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervine to brace me up and make me a well man again."

Dr: Glendenning received a letter last week from Kev. M. C. Waddell, who with Mrs. Waddell is at Los Angeles, Cal. Kev. Waddell went to Los Angeles several weeks ago for the benefit of his health and for some time after his arrival was in the hospital of that city and an operation was deemed necessary by the surgeons in order to save his life. His condition however, improved without the operation, and at the time of writing the letter to Dr. Glendenning was out of the hospital. The disease from which he suffers is a plural abces* for which he had previously undergone an operation. Rev. Waddell's many friends and admirers in this vicinity will s'ncerely tejoice to hear of his entire restoration to health.—LinevilleTribune.

A little (ire which might under less favorable circumstances have developed into a big one occurred in the living rooms of Jeweler Johnson, over his store Saturday night. His son went into the clothes closet adjoining the large stairway with a lamp to^get a book, and came out not knowing that a fire had been started. Presently Dr. J. W. Mather, whose rooms are in the other part of the same building discovered that something was burning somewhere, and went down sometime between seven and eight o'clock to the postmaster, Mr. Anderson, to ask if anything was afire there. Ascertaining that nothing was wrong there he came out, and he and Mr. Will Garrison saw smoke issuing from the doorway leading to the closet. The alarm was given, but before the fire company arrived Mr. Johnson's boy first rushed in from the sitting room and hurled some water on the fire. Then Mr. Johnson followed, and being provided with a step ladder by Dr. Mather and Mr. Garrison, soon succeeded in quenching the fire. The damage is probably from forty to fifty dollars. Quite a lot of clothing was destroyed and damaged, and the wood work was charred and injured.—Laraoni Patriot.

Marion Kooke, manager for T. M. Thompson, a large importer of fine millinery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, says:* "During the late seyere weather I caught a dreadful cold which kept me awake at night and made me unfit to attend my work during the day. One of my milliners was taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a severe cold at that time, which seemed to relieve her so quickly that 1 bought some for myself. It acted like magic and I began to improve at once. 1 am now entirely well and feel very pleased to acknowledge its merits." For sale by W. A. Alexander, druggist.

A REUNION OF IOWA TROOPS

Will be Held This Summer.

A commendable movement has been started for holding a reunion of all Iowa war veterans and Cedar Rapids has already made a bid for this gathering. J. O. Stewart of that city is secretary, and is quite right in insisting that the coming summer will be the most appropriate time for the reunion. It is now just forty years this spring, since the First Iowa regiment was formed, and the idea of holding the reunion this year of all the veterans of Hawkeye regiments started with a number of the leading members of the First Iowa. Mr. Stewart relates that when the First Iowa was enlisted during the spring of 1861, they went for three months, and it was generally believed the rebellion would be crushed to earth before theexpiration'of that time. The confederates were to be an easy foe to conquer, it was thought, and then it was that so many spoke of

_ going down south and "whipping the rebs before breakfast." President Lincoln had made his call for troops, and from coast to coaBt rang the echo of the voice of a mighty people: "We are coming. Father Abranam, three hun-died thousand strong." It does not seem as though that was forty years ago this summer, does it? We are growing old, comrades, and the suggestion of this reunion brings that fact home to us all'in a startling manner. Outside of the nnnual encampment of the Iowa department of the Grand Army of the Republic no large gathering of Iowa troops has been held in recent years, and Secretary Stewart is anxious this shall be a memorable occasion for the veterans. The reunion ought. to be held in £>es Moines, the center of the state and the point most easily reached from all parts of Iowa.—Iowa State Regester.

It does not pay. If you have a good thing, tell it right out. Don't use false means to attract attention. We say "right out" and mean it, too, that Dr. Caldwell's Byrup Pepsin will cure every case of stomach trouble. It will stop any pain caused by indigestion; it knocks sick-heidache by attacking the cause of^the complaint and aids you to dige^V'your food, no matter what you eat,: L. Van Werden.

During the last two or'three years very great improvement has been made in the treatment of diseases of the heart. Cases formeily considered incurable now readily yield to new remedies. The well known specialist in treating heart diseases, Franklin Miles, M.!)., LL. 13., of Chicago, will send $2.50 worth of his new Special Treatment free to an} ot our afflicted readers.

This liberal oPer is for the purpose of demonstrating the unusual curative powers of his new treatments for heart troubles, such as short breath, pain in the side, oppression in the chest, irregular .pulse, palpitation, smothering spells, puffing of the ankles or dropsy.

They are the result ot twenty>fire years of careful study, extensive research, and remarkable experience in treatiug diseases of the heart, stomach and nerves, which often complicate each case.

The treatments are prepared expressly tor each patient, as the result is very much more certain and satisfactory.

Few physicians have such confidence in their remedies. And there is no reason why all afflicted persons should not avail themselves of this liberal ofler. No death comes more suddenly than that from heart disease. Thousands die unecessarily each year because most physicians do not understand these cases.

Mrs. Frank Smiih, of Chicago, was cured of heart dropsy, after live leadin g physicians liad givan her up. Mr. Kelster, of Chicago, was cured after failure of ten able physicians.

&. thousand references to, and testimonials from, bishops, clergymen, bankers, farmers, and their wives will be sent free on request. These include many who have been cured after from live to twenty or more physicians and professors had pronounced them "Incurable." Among them are H. A. Qroce. 504 Mountain St.. Elgin, 111.; Mrs. Sophie Snow-berg, No. 382 21st Ave., S. Minneapolis, Minn.; Mrs. A. P. Colburn, Blessing, Iowa, Mrs. M. B. Morelan, Rogers, O., the presidents of two medical colleges, etc.

Send at once to Franklin Miles, M. D., LL. B., 209 State St., Chicago, III., for free treatment before it is too late, and please mention this paper. 32-3t

Lightning is striking all about brother Snow, of Bracewel). Free rural mail delivery routes are being established all about him, and inexorable fate has marked him for her own. He might as well attempt to sweep back the ocean's tide with a whisk broom as to oppose the resistless onward march of this great improvement and expansion in postal service. The people clamor for it, and will have it in spite of Snow and high water. We fondly hoped that he would see the inevitable and die gracefully; but he kicks at the doctor and will probably kick at the undertaker when he comes to bury him.—Lineville Tribune.

Washiugton I. Fogle, whose arrest on charge of larceny was recorded last week is again in toils of the law on a new charge. His first arrest waB for selling two horses belonging to I. M. Martin, for which a charge of larceny was preferred. The second charge is for stilling mortgaged property, which consisted of horses, cattle, hogs and farming implements. Mr. Martin had a mortgage on ^hem. Previous to bis disappearance in February it is alleged that this stock was sold to horse and stock buyers in Osceola and Woodburn. Fogle's arrest was made on an indictment by the grand jury. His bonds were placed at $800 which with the bonds in other charge amounts to $1,600. In default of them he is in jail. As no jury trials will be brought in court this term Fogle will need to lay in jail until next September if he fails to furnish bonds. He is an old soldier and draws a pension. The loss is quite an extensive one for Mr. Martin. He had trusted and assisted Fogle in various wjlys.—Osceola Sen tinel.

Mr. L. A. Thompson, the inspector of rural mail routes, went over the route petitioned for by citizens northwest and north of Lineville last Thursday and found the route practicable and feasible and it will be established as Route No. 2. The route as officially located runs from Lineville north to Big Spring by way ot the McCarty and- Morg Wasson rpad, north and northwest through Jefferson township to C. C. Dye's south and southeast to Lineville via Abe Jordan's,-Mrs. Wilson's, Luther Logap's to Gard _ Lewis' corner, thence back to Lineville. Length of route about 23 miles and number of families on route about 119. George Mudgett, of this place, was appointed carrier and gaye bond for the faithful performance of the service. The star route service between Lineville and Big Springs will be discontinued, the rural carrier taking the mail daily for the Big Springs postoffice in a closed pouch. Mr. Thompson appointed William Hubler, of this place, carrier for Route No. 1, running east from Lineville, establishment of which we mentioned last week. The compensation for free rnral mail carriers is fixed at $500 per annum, and a bond of $500 is required for the faithful performance of the duty. The time for beginning the service has not been fixed, but it will not be later than July 1st.—Lineville Tribune.
