Relief From Rheumatic Pains.
“I suffered with rheumatism for
over two years,” says Mr. Rolland
Curry, a patrolman, of Key West, Fla.
“Sometimes it settled in my knees and
lamed me so 1 could haraly walk, at
other times it would be in mp feet and
hands so I was incapaciated for duty.
One night when I was in severe pain
and lame from it my wife went to the
drug store and came back with a bottle
of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I was
rubbed with it and found the pain had
nearly gone during the night. I kept
on using it for a little more than two
weekes and found that it drove the
rheumatism away. I have not had
any trauble from that disease for over
three months. Fur sale by Gilligan &

The following notice of the death of
Mrs. Mary Steele, formerly Miss Mary
O’Neill, daughter of Gen. John O’Neill
and for several years a resident of this
city, is taken from the Spaulding
Enterprise: “Death loves a shining
mark.” This adage has been brought
home to the people of this community
witli indelibly imprinted force within
the past week. The sudden and un
expected death of Mrs. Mary Steele on
last Monday lias brought gloom and
sorrow into the home of nearly every
lesident of this community. Her call
ing had taken her into the residences
of a great many families, where her
kindness and cheerful temperment
had left an abiding and lasting im
pression. It is no easy matter to
write properly the words that give an
account to the world of the death of
any person, and we recognize this at
tempt to reflect the sentiment of this
community at the deatli of Mrs,
Steele. She was a woman who had
braved the storms and trials of this
world with a brave and cheerful heart.
Along the pathway of human life
poetical sentiment and scientilic ap
plication has strewn no flowers for a
great many of t lie human race. The
rocks and boulders are ever in evi
dence and all in all he seems to be the
happiest who is compelled to over
come them. Mrs. Steele was left in
early life the widowed mother of two
boys, one of whom demanded the at
tention of skillful praetieioners, and
these boys have at all times received
the best that the world affords. That
it required painstaking and indefatig
able industry on the part of the
mother to provide these things every
body knows,and this indeed is her best
euol igy. If every person in whom her
patience and exemplary courage has
created a deep and lasting admiration
world come to pay their tribute of res
pect she would sleep beneath a tomb
of roses. Her illness had lasted but a
short time and it was not until a short
time before her death that it was
recognized as dangerous. For this
reason only one of her boys and a sister
were present at her death. Her
brother, J. II. O’Neill, of San Diego,
Caliiornia, left on Tuesday for this
place and will be present at the funer
al, which will take place next Sunday
afternoon at 2 o’clock from St.
Michael’s church. She died at the
home of August Fritz, where she had
made her place of residence for some
time. The deceased was the widow
of Lincoln Steele, an attorney at
David City, whom she married at
Spaulding, and who died a few years
ago. She was the daughter of Gen.
John O’Neill whose name became
famous for his efforts in behalf of the
people of Ireland. She has resided in
Spaulding a number of years and her
early .death is universally mourned.
She leaves two boys, a brother and
three isisters, all of whom have the
sympathy of the entire community.”

STUART
The damage suit instituted by one
Rosa Hudspeth against Wm. Krotter,
which was to be tried here today, was
postponed for two weeks by request of
defendant.
A letter received from John Sturde
vant, now in Buffalo, Wyo., would in
dicate that he is not very favorahly
impressed with the appearance of that
country.
Rev. Glassner and wife were in
Stuart Friday, visiting friends. They
have sold their property in Long Pine
and bought a residence in Schuyler,
where they will make their future
home. Mr. Glassner is in poor health
and not now actively engaged in min
isterial work.
Harry Shank returned Sunday even
ing from Mutual, Ohio, where he had
gone to attend the funeral of his sis
ter’s husband, a Mr. Rupert. Mr.
Shank says that the industrial con
dition^ there are now on a boom. He
has a nephew in the lumber business
in Dayton, Ohio, who, in speaking of
the business situation there, said it
was not a question of se'ling goods,
but of getting what was needed to
meet the demand, and to illustrate
he stated that last year their business
was about three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars for the whole year,
while this year they have already done
that much business and the year is
not half gone. Labor is bringing
better wages than ever before in the
history of the state. The wave of
prosperity is as long and as wide as
the land that the stars and the stripes
wave over.—Advocate.

Expensive Hobby I
of a Rothschild. |
OH PI NARILY
when nil au
thor publishes
a book he expects to
make something out
of it. The Hon.
Lionel Walter Roth
schild of Londonand
Trlng Park, Eng
land, does not de
pend on literature
for a living. Like
some other mem
bers of the famous
family of financiers,
he has a hobby, and
a rather expensive
one at that. In the
whale headed collection of rare
stohk. animals and Insects
and in publications about them he has
spent what to many would seem a
very comfortable fortune. His zoo
logical museum at Trlng Park Is per
haps the largest private museum of the
kind in existence. He edits reports on
the collections of this museum which
cost him a great deal, but he Is now
engaged in the publication of a book
about “Extinct Birds" which as a sort
of literary and scientific luxury prom
ises to beat the record. This work Is
said to have cost the author about
1100,000, and only 300 copies of it will
be issued. These will be printed in
English and sold at $125 a copy. Thus,
even if he sold all of the books at the
price named, he would bo a loser to
the extent of over $60,000.
But $60,000 is nothing to the eldest
son of Baron Kothsehild. lie spends
about as much as that every year In
keeping up his wonderful zoological
gardens and museum. He has fitted
out expeditions to go hunting In the
tropics for rare animals, paying high
prices where necessary to obtain them
and buying out whole collections some
times just to obtain one extraordinary
specimen. His younger brother
Charles, whoso hobby Is the collection

HIS MUSEUM.
of fleas, once commissioned some arc
tic whalers to obtain for him speci
mens of the fleas of arctic animals,
and there was a story that Charles
had offered a prize of $5,000 for a sin
p!e example of the flea of the arctic
fox. This was denied, but it was not
rlpllipfl tbnt bp bnrt mnrlp nnoniul In. '
ducements to the arctic fishermen to
find for him specimens of insects from
the polar regions. Charles Rothschild
has manifested strange devotion to his
singular hobby. He says that every
mammal and bird has a particular
kind of flea and that some of them
have several kinds, so that the flea
affords more diverse material for a
collector than any living creature. He
has fleas from every corner of the
world, over 10,000 different varieties.
It affords him as great delight to se
cure a new kind of flea as it does J.
Pierpont Morgan to obtain a rare spec
imen of the work of an old master.
In the publication of the work on
extinct birds great care has been taken
to render It so far as possible imperish
able. The most expensive paper is
used, and the blocks for the color
plates cost over a thousand pounds.
Among the birds now extinct, or prac
tically so, of which the book has illus
trations are the great auk, the whale
headed stork, the King Albert’s bird
of paradise from New Guinea, the
Labrador duck and Manteil’s kiwi.
The Hon. Lionel Walter Rothschild,
though thirty-eight years of age und
though occupied with business cares
and his duties as a member of parlia
ment, has attained reputation as a sci
entist. The study of animals and in
sects and their collection are with him
no mere hobby, and he has written
several works on natural history
which have been accepted as authori
ties In their field. He was one of
the first Englishmen to employ the
zebra for driving and farm purposes.
He startled the staid British public a
few years ago by driving zebras four
abreast through the streets of London.
His collections embrace a wide variety
of specimens belonging to the animal
kingdom, living and dead, but perhaps
he takes the greatest Interest In birds.
Among stuffed specimens of the latter
In his museum at Tring Park is an ex
ample of the great auk, with two eggs,
bird and eggs together being valued at
about $1,700. Another rare and ex
tinct bird in the museum is the gro
tesque whale headed stork from the
White Nile.
MARY BAKER GLOVER.
Granddaughter of the Venerable Found*
er of Christian Science.
It is rather a peculiar position In
which a pretty western girl, Miss Mary
Baker Clover of Lead City, S. P„ finds
herself. Site is a granddaughter of
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of
Christian Science, and with her father
and a nephew of Mrs. Eddy has
brought suit for an accounting of the
property of her grandmother, basing
this actiou on the allegation that the
famous author of “Science and Health”
Is incompetent to manage her affairs.
She was with her father when he vis
ited his mother at Concord, N. II., Just
previous to the bringing of the suit.
Mrs. Eddy at that time showed solici
tude that her granddaughter should be

MISS MARY BAKER GLOVER.
well Instructed in the tenets of Chris
tian Science. Miss Glover Is not a
Christian Scientist, however. Her fa
ther was at one time, but recently has
not been counted among the udherents
of the sect. Miss Glover has a bright
and pleasing face, and her mouth ls_
expressive of shrewdness. She has
been familiar with mining camps and
the hardships of life in such regions
since childhood, as her father is a
mine prospector and promoter and the
inventor of a divining rod which he
claims to be of value in the location of
mineral wealth. He is Mrs. Eddy’s
only son, but was separated from his
mother for many years. She gave him
up at four years of age when she was
a young widow because she could not
care for him, lost track of him and for
a long time supposed him dead.
TEDDY JUNIOR AT HARVARD.
How the President’s Son Won a Much
Coveted Post.
President Roosevelt’s eldest son,
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is often uu
noyed by having to be so much in the
public eye while pursuing his course at
Harvard university. His position as a
student is rather a trying one in view
of the publicity thrust upon him by
reason of his father’s high station, but
he is considered to have shown good
sense in the main and is popular with
his fellow students. This is shown in
the fact that he was recently chosen
assistant manager of the varsity crew.
A student who wins this post has to
earn the appointment. Young Roose
velt could not have obtained it simply
on the ground of being the president’s
son.
There were quite a number of can
didates for the position, and all were

assigned to the task of soliciting sub
scriptions for the support of rowing.
When Teddy junior started to ask for
subscriptions he got a good deal of
“Joshing” from fellow students, but
kept at it until he had raised $600,
which was $100 more than any other
student raised. The contest then nar
rowed down to four candidates, and
they wore required to do odd Jobs
about the boathouse, such ns filling the
tank and running errands for members
of the crew. Not even this feazed the
president's son, and he finnlly won the
appointment. In the natural course
of events he will become manager of
the crow In his senior year, and this Is
a position which carries with It much
social prestige.
