power to convert the remainder to her own
use. Ho was a wealthy man and soveral
of his holrs rejected tho provisions of tli

speaking of tho action of tho relatives
after Mr. Hoggs' death the brief concludes:
When thn enntentn of tho will became
known the wife tld the penalty of In
heriting her husband's riches. The disap
pointed ones ut onto most emphatically
and most scornfully rejected the provisions
made for them. Tho family relations, which
up to that tlmo had been sweet and cor

Every tender and wifely act was miscon

actions. Hellish motives wero pointed out

of this community. Statements such as
'hundreds doadl" "wholo families wiped
out!" "nlno doctors exhausted .from over

tlon adjolplng us on the north "dyliiR llko
hogs with the cholera" and all llko stato

emanate from a correspondent at Onawa,
la. On the contrary, not a, slnglo death
has occurred hero or In this township, nor,
as I am informed by the government
physician, has there baen a death from this
cause on the Omaha Indian reservation
Wo have but four doctors hero, and they are
not overworked. Tho fact is, the same
dtscaso is hero that Is so general through
parts of this state and Is so mild that In
nbout ono-half of tho cases no physician Is
called and many of tho patients aro not
confined to tho houso for mora than a day
or two. Tho dtscaso has been much more
prevalent hero all summer than It Is at this
time, hut In so mild n form that no at
tempt has been made to quaranttno until
about two or threo weeks ago, when Dr,
Towno, a medical Inspector of tho Stato
Hoard of Health, who was hero, pronounced
it smallpox. A strict quarantluo has been
enforced since that time, tho dtscaso con

In tho town for more than threo weoka out

few days fully one-half of fhe Infected prem

tho auarantlno will bo raised from them
No mall matter Is allowed to be put Into
tho ofllce from any of tho Infected persons

minimum of transmitting tho disease to
other towns, making tho grent flourish of

In somo of tho neighboring towns. In ob
structing our malls and preventing our

ADVERTISE?

PHRHAF8 the money they upend In this way la
not wasted to such front extent as you may havo
supposed. Ib It reasonable to aHHtirno that people
will to on year after year paying adTorrJnln; bills
unless they know that It brings adequate return? Is It
not time for you to think about Hdvertlotnc your burrfucwi?
You have intt prices and cut margins and tried evry
other device to forgo ahead, but without material adran
tuRO. You know your goods nre right and you ounht to
noil moro und got more money. You know you could do
this If the customor demanded your goods. Why not tell
the customers In n way that will Inspire thslr confldonce,
arouse their Interest. This Is less expensive than cut

will build up your business.
