Streight & Dilley, new linn
down the street. Uncle Jason
Streight has sold out a half in
terest in his grocery to a Mr. Dil
ley of Iowa, and henceforth the
firm will be as above, and we hope
to see them do a slashing busi
ness. Dr. Livingston's office got a
gale (the gale went under, you
know) last week and upset itself,
breaking all his little glasses,
medicine chest and such. It took
a huge glass of soda water from
a young Babcock, the next morn
ing after the dance, and righted
up again.
It is understood that our old
and highly respected friend Dea
con Mickelwait, put up his ferry
boat and fixings against Russell's

Of course Russell won, and a re
porter from the Herald learned
late last evening that Russell says
"Mick" can run the boat for a
few days, and if he manages
things well he will let him keep
it ii". shares next summer.
Not long since a curious case
of affairs turned up in this
county. A couple were divorced,
, two weeks afterward they were
re-married. Less than a month
after the new marriage, the hus
band came home and thought
somebody was there while he was
gone. So he gave madam a
trouncing and went for the some
body with a butcher-knife and
the result was, husband was ar
rested fur attempt at assassina
tion. He is now out of jail and
says he's dune marrying anybody
or anything.

house of John Kinser and steal
ing several tools, which he sold

keei bis parole.
Without Pleasure.
Al times some people feel dis
gusted. Nothing suits them.
They have no appetite, they hate
society, they find no pleasure in
anything. They are not sick,
neither are they well. It is evi
dent that their blood is poor,
their digestion not regular, their
nerve power weakened on account
of lack of food. You will have to
select a remedy which will thor
oughly clean out your body, give
you a good appetite and strength
en your digestive organs. Such
a remedy is, as you well know,
Trir.er's American Elixir of Hit
ler Wine. It is composed of wine
and laxative and tonic herbs. It
will expel from (he intestines un
digested remnants of food and
will enable the body to accept and
digest enough nutritious food to
supply all organs with pure and
rich blood. You will receive new
energy. Al, drug stores. Jos.

rheumatism will usually yield

was attended by a vast crowd of
old friends, who gathered for the
last time to pay tribute lo tin's
worthy lady, who for so many
years had been a resident of this
city and county. The sermon was
preached by Rev. .1. 11. Sieger,
pastor of the church, who took
for his text the words, "It, is
enough, take my .soul from me,"
and spoke of the forbearance with
which the aged lady had borne
her mouths of siigering when she
knew that, recovery was impos
sible, and the Christian fortitude
displayed during her long and
useful life in both joy and sor
row. The choir of the church
sang several of the favorite
hymns of the departed, which had
been so well loved in her lifetime,
and there was no one present at
the church that did not feel that,
surely hers had been a peaceful,
upright Christian life in the ful
lest, sense of the term.
The body was borne lo its last
resting place by the following
old friends and neighbors: Jacob
Trilsch, Leonard Horn, Theodore
Slarkjohn, John Hauer, sr., Jacob
Meisinger and Conrad Meisinger.

cent and lavish and attested the
deep feeling of the loss to her
friends throughout ihe county.

ceased as a member of the Ladies'
Aid society of Ihe church, which
