LINDSAY.
From the Pott.
Another, fire -occurred last week on
Thursday evening. This 'timev it was
the home, of P. 6. Dncey, 1 miles
south of town, when the two story house
with all valuables, clothing and -furniture,
with-the' exception of "part of the
parlor furniture, burned to the founda
tion. It seems that Mrs. Ducey was
ironing in the afternoon and was roast
ing a chicken in the evening when the
fire started. She had left the kitchen
to see about the baby and when she re
turned the room was all ablaze. Mrs.
Ducey at once 'phoned her husband who
had come to town to transact a matter
of business, but by the time he and sev
eral fireman, as well as some of the
neighbors had reached tLe scene, it was
impossible to save anything except what
had been taken out of the parlor. It
seems to have been another case of "poor
chimney," as it is believed that the fire
started from the chimney on the inside
of the wall. The loss is considered to be
about $2,500 with $1,050 insurance.

or four bmUmui visiting relativesand
sightseeing. Mr. Spires talks interest
ingly of his trip, perhaps one of the most
interesting things being his comparison
of prices in that country and this. He
was wearing good .' suit of brown
clothes, that would retail at not less
than $15 or $20 in this country. They
cost him $7 in England. A pair of shoes
that looked as good aa any we can buy
for $3 50 cost him eight shillings there,
or $2.00. He told also of baying an
overcoat for $7 50 and being offered $20
for it after arriving in this country.
The scale of prices there ranges on
everything about, one third to one-half
lens than here. .Wages of course are
correspondingly low.
Shortly after one o'clock Sunday after
noon a man was found in an outbuild

Drs. Benton and' Jones were called and
Miss Leafy Pereinger, a trained nurse,
was also summoned. The doctors and
nurse worked with the man for several
hours, but he never regained conscious
ness and died early Monday morning
His trouble was an effection of the kid

Last Friday evening about dark, as
John Elmenhorst was on his way home

the wagon was overturned and he was
killed by being caught under his load.
The accident occurred about six miles
this Bide of Petersburg, where there is a
deep cut by the side of the road. The
deceased had poor eyes, being very near
sighted, and it is supposed in the gather
ing darkness he got out of the road and
the load tippd over. The horses got
loose from the wagon and ran away. He
was found in about half an hour after
the accident happened, and was then
dead. The deceased was a young man
23 years old, of good repute and well

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptoms that Should
Not be.IMarcgarded.
Appetite is just a natural desire of the
system for the food necessary to replace
aataral body waste. Loss of appetite
or stomach distress after eating indi
cates indigestion or dyspepsia. Over,
eating is a habit very dangerous to a
person's good general health, and insati
able appetite is a common symptom of
diabetes.
It is not what you eat but hat you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters.
There is nothing that will create sick
ness or cause more trouble than a dis
ordered stomach, aad many people daily
contract serious maladies simply thro
ugh disregard or abuse of the stomach.
We urge every one Buffering from any
stomach derangement, indigestion or
dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic, to
try Resall Dyspepsia tablets, with the
distinct understanding that we wilLre
faad their money witaoat question or
formality.- if after reasonable use of this
medicine, they are hot satisfied With the'
results. We recommend them to oar
easterners every day, and have, yet to
hear of anyone who has not been benefit
ed by them.
'We honestly believe Resall Dyspepsia
tablets to be without equal. They are
madefrom the prescription of a physi
cian 'who devoted his time to the
study and treatment of stomach trou
bles. They give very prompt relief
stimulating the secretion of gastric
juices, strengthen the digestive organs,
aid to good digestion and assimilation,
regulate the bowels, and promote nutri
tion. We urge you to try a 25-oent box of
Rexall Dyspepsia tablets, which give 15
days' treatment. At the end of that
time your money will be returned to you
it you are not satisfied. Of course, in
ohronic cases length of treatment varies.
For such cases we have two larger sizes,
which sell for 60 cents and $1.00. Re
member you can obtain Rexall remedies
in Columbus only at Pollock Go's,
drug store on the corner.
Hazing.
Hazing Is an indelicate and inexplica
ble something. When we are called be
fore the faculty we deny the existence
of the word. We call it gentle horse
play. Jfevertheless hazing, whatever it is.
fills its place in man's life. The won
derful state of sopbomorebood would
be lost if not for it. What would be
come of our great Military academy at
West Point if it were not for hazing?
There are three great periods of haz
ing in man's life first the green ap
ple period, then the college period and
finally the married period, which, we
are told, is one continuous round 6f
hazing on both sides.
Hazing is an educational and desira
ble experience for those wishing to be
come slaveholders, superintendents of
gangs, divorce seekers and fathers of
large families.
What is the greatest press agent of
this age? riazing. Look at the free
advertising different colleges receive
every year.
Hazing is also very helpful to those
wishing to test the strength of base
ball clubs, fence pickets and bricks.
Rutgers Targum.
Not Aptly Worded.
Au absurdly worded statement of a
fact which was not in itself remarka
ble recently tried 'the gravity of the
listeners. It was on the occasion of
the funeral of an elderly woman in a
New England town. She had left an
old mother, nearly ninety years of age.
and an only son who was well on to
ward fifty.
The services were conducted by a
timid young clergyman recently settled
over the parish. After praying for
many and various things he said:
"And two we especially pray that
the Lord will comfort aud sustain In
their loss and sorrow. One Is tho or
phan, who. although no longer yonu.
is air orphan still and must so con
tinue. The other is the mother, far
advanced in -years, who has survived
her daughter, although considerably
her wnior." Youth's Companion.
Not Literary.
"The late Frederick Rurtoii was the
world's foremost authority on the
American Indian." said a Yale ethnoi
gist "Rurton was almost alone in his
field. There are. you know, so few stu
dents of Indian lore.
"He said to me once, with a vexed
laugh, that he found it quite as impas
sible to discuss the Indian with people
as a Boston critic found it to discuss
poetry with the girl lie took dawn to
dinner.
"The girl was very pretty. Leaning
her dimpled elbows on the table, she
said to the critic:
"Ami what is your lecture to be
about, professor?'
"I shall lecture on Keats,' be re

Life of the Red Deer.

be dilticult to find. From twenty-five
to thirty-five years apparently may be
about the range of their existence.
