Carleton , chief deputy United

Messers. Taylor & Boyer , car
penters and contractors , whose ad
has appeared in THE DEMOCRAT
s nce last January , have been busy
during the whole summer. They
have had a number of important
contracts and each one has given
excellent satisfaction as far as we
have learned. They built an ad
dition to the WoodIa'keschool build
ing 26x10 feet , two stories high ,
built of first class lumber and oth
er material. Their contract was
for material and complete job fin
ished and amounting to § 1550.00
which was settled with satis faction
to all parties. Just before
this they built an eight room
hou = > e at Crookstoix for L. H.
Overman , working by the day on
this job and were successful in
doing the work satisfactory , in
bot'i quality and quantity , com
pleting tlie house to the satisfac
tion of Mr. Overman and built a
barn for him later 28x40 and 12 ft
high. They also built a house for
Andrew Wenzel on north table
and an addition 18x24 for W. B.
Hammond. They have had num
erous other smaller contracts and
at present are rebuilding coal and
chicken houses and an addition to
the dwelling of Geo.ler.shey. [ .
We say this injustice to the energy
and competency of these two nie.n
whom we believe to be both hon
est and capable carpenters and their
work speaks for itself where-ever
they have worked.
The sad accident which happen- a

careful with firearms. Oren lleth
wa > a bright boy , 15 years old , and
knew how to handle a gun as well
as most boys of his age. He had G
gone hunting for ducks on the
Gordon creek andwent down to
the store at Simeon to get a box of
sardines for his dinner. Me was d
on his horse apparently and had
reached over to take his gun from
a wagon in which was some lum at
ber. Somehow , in drawing the
un towards him , the hammer
must have struck a board or the
edge of the wagon and discharged
it , the load striking the top and ci
back part of his head. Evidently tial
his left hand had held the bridle alC
reins and the box of sardines which C
was up above his head at the time
of the discharge as a part of the
shot were found in the box of sar-
st
dines. The boy was probably
leaning over toward the wagon at
the time , but just how it happened
no one will ever know as there ;
was no one there to see it. The
shot was heard in the store and
Mr. Ellis' boy went out to see
what he had shot at and seeing the
horse still standing near the wag-
on , went nearer and discovered ;
Oren laying on the ground beside
the wagon with the top and back
part of his head shot off. The
father , George M. Meth , was soon aiw
notified by telephone and came to w
town to get a coffin , and he and *
Oscar Buechle drove down to 31
Simeon as quickly as possible. IV
L'r. Lewis , the coroner , also went .
out and held and inquest. The 1I ]

I consider Wine ot Cardui superior
to an doctor's medicine I ever used
and I kno T whereof I Bpeak. I euf-
lered for nino months vrith suppressed
menstruation which completely pros-
trat jd me. Pains would shoot through
my back and sides and J would have
blinding headaches , lly limbs would
Bwcll up and I would feel so weak I
could not stand up. I naturally felt
discouraged for I seemed to be beyond
the help of phvsicians , but Wine of
"
Cardni cams as "a God-send to me. I
felt a change for the better within a
week. After nineteen d.iys treatment
I monstruatsd without suffering tho
agonicB I usually did and soon became
regular and without pain. Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish
that all sufferingwomen knoir of Ita
good qualities.
