HED PEPPi-i.  POPULAR,
It   Is   Been   Again    Store   anil   More   In
Restaurants.
There are encouraging signs that
red pepper Is once more to eo,me into
its pwn o^i the table of New Yqi% restaurants aiy\ ho^els.says the New York
Sun., *?QT- seven years something
■?fJhieh had fyy no means the same qualities as r.e(l pepper has ii^wrpeft its
placp/ and persons accustomed to, the
gemotes article have not always found
it possible tfl £eco.pie reconciled to tht
§n6stjt\ite. The reference is, qf course,
tp the JfjJungarja^ product paprika.
Wh^ph "is§ many excellent qualities ol
\is csyfis, hut is not to be looked upot
as red pepper. Possibly the costly and
lnslnuative red liquid yclept tabascc
may have had something to do witb
pushing dry red pepper to the wall anij
off the table. It has a place of Us own
as well as paprika has. But a protest
In concert ought to go up from all lov-.
ers of highly seasoned viands at th*
white, characterless stuff that is sc
common nowadays as a substitute foi
black pepper. Not only is it practically tasteless, but what little flavor it
may occasionally possess is not likeij
—at least not appreciated—by those
who want something sharp on their
food. Moreover, it does not show
where it has been applied, whereat
black pep-per puts itself ln evidence In
every individual grain. "Aside from
all the other p,bjectio,ns to the white
article," remarked a. hoi). *¥l¥«nt the
othey 8*1*, "It hasn't enough consistency to eonflne Itself to your table.
When you attempt to- apply it, the
slightest breath of air wafts it in a
cloud over on to somebody else's table
and into somebody else's eyes, perhaps. Black pepper has at least the
advantage of good breeding and good*
manners. I should like to see it called
out of Its present obscurity."
Jacob Sturm, Gone.
By His Death The Church Has Lost
A Good Member,  and  Our
Village a Good Citizen.
After a brief illness Jacob Sturm
passed away suddenly and quietly at
his home last Friday morning,'November 2. Although very sick, yet his
death wa3 quite unexpected.
Jacob Sturm who was one of a family
of eleven children, was born in Bavaria,
Germany, June 26, 1834 and when
eighteen years of age came to this
country stopping for a little time at
New Orleans, from there to Cincinnati
where he worked at his trade, harn<5ss-
tdaking for a short time when he went
to Chicago and in 1858 came to this
place in search of his uncle, John Burg
with whom he worked for a time, when
he started in the harness business
for himself at the old stand which he
leaves, since which time he had resided constantly at this place. For some
years past he had been engaged quite
extensively in lumbering which business took much of his time and called
him from home a great deal.
Mr. Sturm has ever enjoyed in a
high degree tho confidence and respect of the community. He never
sought political preferment but has
been supervisor, trustee and a member
of the Board of Education. The latter
office he held for twenty-one years
only retiring at the school election in
September.
He married in 1868 Miss Emily Kerr
of Lodi, by whom he hud four
children; Fred, Professor of German
in the Iowa State University, Victor
of Lake City, who is^carrying on the
lumber interest of his father and the
two daughters Alice and Ruth who
are both at home. Jacob Sturm was a
member of the M. E. church for 34
years during which time he was a true
and loyal member to all its interests.
While the new and beautiful church
was building, he was a very active
member of the building committee and
has been the first of its members to answer Heaven's roll call. It may be
said of him that he was a just and upright man one that feared God and
abhorred that which was evil.
The funeral services were held Tuesday forenoon at the JMJ. E. church
which was beautifully decorated with
palms, white chrysanthemums and
floral. pieces from friends and the
societies to which he belonged. In
the pulpit with the pastor Rev. F. O.
Jones were the Rev. F, JE. Dodds of
Belleville, Rev. J. B, Wallace Presbyterian pastor and Ifcev. JO. H. Yokum
of Ridgeway, all of whom participated
in the service?.
He was also a loyal member of the
Masonic order.
As a citizen we had no better,. Mr.
Sturm vvas ever ready to take bis place
in whatever he was asked ta do, was
generous in the support of charity and
other necessaries. He was careful in
his council, honorable in his dealings
and his word was. never questioned.
In honor and respect for tbe loss
which our village sustains, all of the
business houses closed for a couple of
hours during the funeral.
The surviving brothers and sisters
of the deceased are Louis Sturm of
this village, Chas. of Clinton, Philjp of
Bay City, Mrs. Meyer of Kansas and
Mrs. Bayer of Adrian.

LAND OP HUMMING BIRD.
Vkenemenon Tbat follows Digging Jn
Trinidad's Asphalt Lake.
The tourist may take passage to the
"land of the humming bird"—as Trinidad people like their country to be
called—and after securing accommodation at the only decent hotel in the
colony, proceed to the lake by one of
the small government steamers plying,
coastwise three times weekly, disembark at the Brighton pier, and proceed
to tbe scene of "digging." Of all the
crude, rough and ready means of extracting wealth from mother earth, the
Trinidad lake asphalt operations are
the most striking, says a writer in the
New York Post. The Visitor arrives
on a fairly level plateau, spotted here
and thore with tiny pools of water, beneath which the soft shiny substanca
known as asphalt glitters In the reflections of a fierce tropical sun. Scattered over the surface of the lake dozens of swarthy negroes are plying pick
and hoe, extracting thft tar-coaly look-'
ing stuff from the earth. One may sit
In the shade of a near-by shrub or.
under the protecting shelter of an um-.
brella and watch the negroes pile heap
after heap of the asphalt into ihe end.
of the endless chain of tubs that hurry
along to the pier, from which one has
but recently landed, until a yawning
excavation of twenty or more feet suggests to the supervising darky that the
time has come to move a hit further
on. In the. course of a few hours the
excavation resulting from the morning's diggings begins to look less deep,
and hy the evening the spot from
which more than five or ten tons have"
been dug is again level with the surrounding earth and ready to be dug
over by the gang of noisy blacks.'
JFrom the point of digging to the pier
is about a mile or less of endless-
chain descent; moored to the pier are
big sailing vessels and sometimes
steamers, into whose capacious holds
the tubs discharge the pitch at the
rate of two or three hundred tons per
day.
To remove a trouolesome corn or
bunion: First soak the corn or bunion
in warm water to soften it, then pare
it dowu as closely as possible without
drawing blood and apply Chamberlain's
Pain Balm twice daily; rubbing vigorously for five minutes at each application. A corn plaster should be worn
for a few days, to protect it from the
shoe. As a general liniment for
sprains, bruises, lameness and rheumatism. Pain Balm is unequalled. For
sale by Lister & Sheeder.
There is no pleasure in life if you
dread going to the table to eat and
can't rest at night on account of indigestion. Henry Williams, of Boon
ville, Ind., says he suffered that way
for years, till he commenced the use of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, and adds, "Now
I can eat anything I like and all I want
and sleep soundly every night." Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure will digest what you
eat.   Unterkircher's drug store.
A 'Village Blacksmith Saved Bis Little
Son's Life.
Mr. H. H. Black, the well known
village blacksmith at Grahamville,
Sullivan Co., N. Y., says: "Our little
son, five years old, has always been
subject to croup, and so bad have the
attacks been that we have feared many
times that he would die. We have had
the doctor and used many medicines,
but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
now our sole reliance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucus and by giving
frequent doses when the croupy sym-
toms appear we have found that the
dreaded croup is cured before it get
settled." There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains no opium
or other injurious drug and may he
given as confidently to a babe as to an
adult.   For sale by Lister _ Sheeder.

Plymouth Binding Twine
A Comparative Statement showing the Cost and Value of Binding
Twine, based on the supposition that a farmer needs, to bind his grain,
300 pounds of Plymouth Sisal, or Standard Twine, which runs 505 foet
to the pound.
Three hundred pounds of Plymouth Standard *or Sisal will give him
151,500 feet.
151,500 ft. ofj505 ft. to the lb., weighs 300 lbs. @ 14c will cost §42.00
151,500 ft. of 480 ft. to the lb., weighs 315£ lbs. @ 14e will cost §44.ia
151,500 ft. of 470 ft. to the lb., weighs 322J lbs. @ 14c willcost §45.13
151,500 ft. of.450 ft. to the lb., weighs 336j lbs. @ 14e will cost $47.13
151,500 ft. of 430 ft. to the lb., weighs 352J lbs. @ 14c will cost §49.33
We have recently tested twine sent us.for examination, that averaged
a little less than 430 feet to the pound.
The PLYMOUTH Twines are the only ones of these grades that run
505 feet to the pound. You save by ' buying them, over the lowest
grade,'.§7.33 on 300 pounds, or $2.44 per 100; or 2 44-100 cents per
pound. Therefore, if Plymouth sells for 14 cents per pound, the other
should sell for 11 66-100 cents, to be as cheap, and others in proportion
The Moral is. buy PLYMOUTH Twine, and save money, and the
annoyance of loose bundles, caused by poor twine.
