Many persons bavo had the experience of Mr. Poter Sherman-, of JNorth
Stratford, JN. H., who says, "For'years
I suffered torture from chronic indigestion, but Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
made a well man of me." It digests
what you eat and is a certain cure for
dyspepsia and every form of stomach
trouble. It gives relief at once even
■\sss the worst cases, and can't help but
do you good. Unterkircher's drug

Foley's Honey aad Tm*
heals lungs and stops the cough.
$1,000 Worth of aooa.
A. H. Thurness of Wills Creek Coal
Co., Buffalo, O., writes: *'I have been
afflicted with kidney and bladder
trouble for years, passing gravel or
stones, with excruciating pain. Other
medicines only gave relief. After taking Foley's Kidney Cure the result was
surprising, A few doses started the
brick dust, like fine stones, etc., and
now I have no pain across my kidneys
and I feel like a new man.. Foley's
Kidney Cure has done me SI ,000 worth
of good." Take no substitute, Unterkircher's drug store.
Red Goggles Drove a Bull to Matinees.
The proverbial hatred of bulls for
articles of red color has almost-.driven
John Anschutz, a Stowe township
dairyman, out of business. Boys entered his premises on Tuesday night aud
adjusted a set of crimson goggles on
the eyes of his black and white bull,
Dexter. When the animal woife up in*
the morning he saw nothing but great
stretches of carmine landscape. Dexter manifests'extreme antagonism for
the smallest patch of red, but when he
cast his eyes about and saw nothing
but the hated color in all directions
his anger reached a fury. He looked
at the other cattle, but they were all
brindles. His little sister, whom he
had seen only a few hours before in her
ermine coat had donned in a single
night a covering of scarlet hue. He
looked at the strawstaek in the rear of
the barn, but it was no longer the great
yellow mass, being instead the color of
'"bloody butcher" corn. Thegrass was
no longer green, and he refused to eat.
The barn was red and the fence was
red. The girl who came to the farmyard to milk the cows was red, .and she
carried a red bucket and a stool with
three red legs. At any other time
Dexter might have excused the color
of her cheeks*, and forgiven it as a
maidenly blush, but he could overlook
nothing of lhat sort now. With aloud
bellow he made a desperate dash at the
red strawstack and tried to butt it over.
The red chickens, the red pign, the
red ducks, the red geese lied before
his awful onslaught. The weather-
boarding of the red barn was shivered
into crimson splinters, and. the ruilkr
maid with the red dress and tbe red
bair ran back into the red spriughou»e
in terror, leaving tbu red bucket and
the stool with the three red legs to be
tramped deep into the i'cd earth by
the hoofs of tlie enraged Dexter. The
bull made several charges around the
yard, and then he assaulted the red
fence. The red panels gave way with
a crash, and Dexter rushed out into
the orchard and tied uudei* the* red
trees. He crossed* a meadow, and
came suddenly upon a creek, but to his
horror the stream was blood-colored.
On the hpposite side he saw a little
red man with a red gun shooting red
rabbits. JRed birds flew through the
underbrush. Bed fish swam through
the red stream. Great red clouds
floated from the red sky. Dexter made
another dash for liberty, and ran bellowing around the farm until almost
exhausted. After an hour of terrible
misery he was found, and the red goggles were removed. He Vvas too much
fatigued to make another attempt to
escape, and was quite peaceable when
he saw his master. Mr. Anschutz says
he will prosecute the offenders, and
has offered a reward of $5 for the arrest of the guilty parties. The bull is
still suffering from the effects of his
terrible chase.—Pittsburg Chronicle-
Telegraph.
Judge Newkirk's Decision.
Judge Newkirk was seen by the
Times yesterday about his plans for
the future.
"I hayen't made up my mind yet. I
understand Moran and. two or three
others have threatened to drive me
out of town in anything I engage in,
but 1 have always made a living and I
guess I can here. What I will probably do is to open a law offlce, although
I have not yet secured suitable quarters. I have had assurance from people who desire me to remain in Ann
Arbor that they will throw business
my way."
Judge Newkirk has tnany firm
friends, as was evidenced during the
last election, and he will undoubtedly
make a success of the practice of law
as he is an able man. Any attacks
from certain quarters after he has entered a private practice would be looked upon as persecution by personal
spite and would make him more 1 rieuds
than ever.—Argus.

Simplicity of Emperor Josepti.
The personal habits of Emperor
Francis Joseph are marked with soldier-like simplicity. His food is of the
plainest, such as an ordinary citizen
consumes. He retires at 9 o'clock
efery night and sleeps on his iron field
bed. At the age of seventy he is still
able to meet and overcome the perplexing difficulties that are peculiar
to the Austro-Hungarian empire, and
his great goodness of heart has -won*
him universal love throughout the empire.

Separated and AU Saved.
Though Separated by the storm and
washed in different directions, all the
members of the Stuhbs family at Galveston were rescued. Father, mother
and two children were on a floating
roof that broke in pieces. The father,

mother went another, and the remaining children went in still a third
direction." Sunday evening all four

President Kliot Karred.
While the Cuban teachers were attending school at Cambridge this summer, a hoy was engaged to distribute
tickets to the teachers for an approaching concert. President Eliot,
standing by, thought he might possibly
attend, and extended his hand for a
ticket. The hoy gave a glance at him
and remarked, scornfully: "Tou ain't
no Cuban!"

troubles as well as women, and all feel

Nerve  Influence
Is the subtle force which controls the different organs ofthe
body. It makes them strong or weak, healthy or diseased,
according as the brain and nerves are strong and vigorous or
weak and diseased. Weak nerves cause headache, nervousness,
neuralgia, indigestion, heart trouble and many other forms of
chronic weakness. Make the nerves strong, the brain cleat" and
active and the body will be healthy and vigorous.
"Overstrained nerves caused my-wife to suffer severely
With a nervous affection of the Jheart called by physicians
neuralgia of tbe heart. Powerful remedies relieved the pain
temporarily, but all physicians failed to remove the cause or
give permanent relief. - A few bottles of Dr. Miles' JKervine
together with. I>r. Miles' JJKew Heart Cure removed all signs
of neuralgia and she has ever since enjoyed excellent Jhealth."
