Nervous Prostration
Cared by Dr. Mile Nervine.
Prolonged derangement of the nervous
system not only ffe-t the brain and men
tal powers, but develops disease In some of
the vital organ. The most dangerous of
. these Indirect results la when the heart la
affected. This was the case of the Kev. N.
F. Surface, Fawn Eirer. Mich., who write
under date of Feb. 14, ISA:
"Fourteen years ago 1 had a slight stroke of
paralysis. Overwork brought on nervous
prostration. I was exceedingly nervous and
the exertion of public speaking caused
heart palpitation that threatened my life.
I used two bottles of Dr. Miles' New Heart
Cuie for my heart trouble, and two of Dr.
Miles Iteatorative Nervine for my nervous
nasa and feel better than I ever expected to
feel again. I can speak for hours without
tiring or having my heart flutter as It for
merly did, and I have you to thank that I
am alive today."

ftainfall for the Week.
The past week has been very warm the
temperature showing a daily average
excess (above normal) of five degrees in
the western part of the state and nine
degrees in the eastern part. The maxi
mum temperatures have exceeded 90
degrees generally every day in the week
and in many places have exceeded'a 100
on several days,
The rain fall has been very unequally
distributed. Heavy showers, with one
to three inches of rainfall, have oceured
quite generally over the southeastern
section and in small areas in the central
and western sections. Over the greater
portion of the state, however, the rain
fall has been leas tbau a quarter of an
inch. -, -...
The wet weather in the southeastern
section has delayed thrashing and stack
ing but elsewhere in the state this work
has made good progress. In the south
western section of the state the hot
dry weather of the past week has been
injurious to the corn and in the extreme
southwestern counties much damage
has been done to the crop and iu a few
instances the corn is beingcutfor fodder.
Ia the other sections of the state the
corn has grown remarkably well and
the early planted is maturing in the
southern counties.
The prospect for an excellent crop of
corn continues over the state generally.
Cutting wildgrass for hay is in pro-
fress and a large crop is being harvested,
aatures continue excellent.

Hunting, the Wild Goat.
The white goat, or Bocky Mountain
goat, as it ia indiscriminately culled, is
a species of bis: game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not so much because
of the difficulty of killing the animal, nor
because of its actual rarity. It is a stu
pid animal, easily.shot when once found.
It is not, however, found in the usual
hunting grounds, as are bear, deer, elk,
etc. It is remote from the common lo
calities, but where found is in goodly
numbers. It ranges very high up in the
mountains, above timber line usually,
among rocks and cliffs. This requires
great labor to get at it, but once there,
the hunter will get his game nine times
out of ten.
If you care to read of a goat hunt
made in the Bitter Root range in Mon
tana, in the fall of 1895, send six cents
to Charles S. Fee, General passenger
agent, Northern Pacific railroad, St.
Paul, Minn., for Wonderland '96, which
recounts such a hunting expedition.
