CHANGING HANDS.

Culver Real Estate is Showing Con­siderable Activ ity at Present*

W . E. Hand this week sold the lot on which the Christian church stands to that society for $400. and the adjoiniug lot to D. W , Marks for the same price. I t is Mr. Marks' iutenliou to build a dwelling on the lot in tbo spring.

Tho well-known O liver Morris property consisting o f two houses occupying a corner in the very heart o f the business district, was sold ou Monday to W . B. Hawkins, eldest son o f Rural Carrier Ezra Hawkins, for $2,500. The pur­chaser’s plaus are not definitely an­nounced but it is said to be his in ­tention to live in tho new cottage and to continue tho hotel business in the old house. Mr. and Mrs. Morris havo occupied the place for 23 years during which period thov have kept a boarding house for transients which is known to hun­dreds o f traveling men and busi­ness callers from neighboring towns for the excellence o f its table and the genial hospitality o f its host and hostess. As Mr. Hawkins docs not take possession until March 1 Mr. and Mrs. Morris will have time to look around for an­other home where they can spend their declining days in the well- earued rest to which their years of public catering entitle them.

On Tuesday Mr. Morris bought for $1,8)0 John Osborn’s pretty cottage and w ill occupy in three weeks.

A new two-story brick business building on Main street is one^ o f tho probabilities o f the coming season.

The Citizen is uot postod on the provisions o f I ho various ditch bills which have been prepared for introduction into the legislature, but there is one provision which should not be overlooked by the authors who are seeking to do away with tho objectionable feat­ures o f the present law, and that is every county surveyor should be a practical c iv il engineer. Under existiug conditions anybody can bo elected to tho office, and to a considerable oxtont auybody is. It is true that tho law says that tho deputy shall bo a practical engi­neer, but as a matter o f fact tho sur­veyor himself undertakes more or less work which needs technical supervision, ft is stated that much o f the disatisfaction with tho pres­cut law can bo traced to the ignor­ance o f county surveyors.

Henry Pontius and w ife and N

Mr. and Mrs. Eckrnan were tho victims o f ptomaine poisoning last week.

The case was not only serious but rare— iu fact unheard o f here­tofore.

Mr. aud Mrs. Eckman ate kraut at their midday meal on Thursday and at 9 o ’clock Mrs Eckman was taken with stomach pains which continued throughout tho night. In the morning Mr. Eckman, still perfectly well, called a doctor. Mrs. Eckman was confined to the bed Sunday and is still weak from tho violence o f the attack.

Mr. Eckman’s attack did not come on until t o ’clock Friday a f­ternoon, but its appearance was sudden aud severe. He was pros­trated by tho most excruciatiug pains which almost attained tho character o f convulsions, aud dur­ing the night his condition was serious. L ik e his w ife his recov­ery has been slow aud ho is still weak. n

Th e kraut was home-made front home-grown cabbages und there was nothing in its appearance to indicate any unusual condition of the article.* Th e kraut was made last fall and put into a stone jar which was covered with two th ick­nesses o f cloth tied down tightly. Tho theory is that a fermentation, poisonous in its character, formed and thoroughly permeated tho kraut.

Alm ost every fam ily uses more or less kraut, many families mak­ing it by the barrelfnl, but a case o f sickness resulting from it has never been reported before. bus

Funeral W ill Be Held Saturday— Sec­retary Taft, In General Order to the Army, Pays a Tribute to His Predecessor.

Washington, Jan. 25.— United States Senator Russell A. A lger o f Michigan died suddenly ut his residence in this city at 8:45 o'clock Thursday morn­ing. follow ing an acute attack o f oede­ma o f the lungs, with which he was stricken shortly a fter eight o'clock. Although Senator A lger had not been

| In good health for some time, his death was most unexpected. The senator Wednesday night was ap­parently In his usual health. During the day he transacted considerable business and was at the war depart­ment up to a late hour Wednesday afternoon. A t the bedside when he passed a way were Mrs. A lger and their son. Capt. F. M. A lger, and wife.

Funeral on Saturday.The funeral services w ill be held

at tw o o'clock Saturday afternoon at tho fam ily residence In this city. The body w ill be taken to Detroit. Mich., fo r burial.

Gen. A lger hud suffered for a good many years with chronic valvular dis­eases o f the heart, but o f late he seemed to be a good deal better.

When the president was Informed o f Senator A lgor's death, he addressed a noto o f condolence to Mrs. A lger and accompanied It with a tloral offering.

Secretary Ta ft 's Tribute.The formal announcement o f Sena­

tor A lger 's death was made to the army by Secretary Ta ft In the fo llow ­ing order:

"T h e secretary o f war announces with deep sorrow the death o f Hon. Russell Alexander A lger, which oc­curred on the 24th instant at his resi­dence in this city.

#,Gen. A lger was secretary o f war during the administration d f Presi­dent M cKinley, from March 5. 1897. to August 1, 1X99; a period during which tho administration o f tho war depart­ment was brought Into great prom i­nence through Its activity in connec­tion with the war with Spain and the m ilitary operations in the Philippines that succeeded It.

Gen. A lger was |>atiiotIc, earnest and most devoteod lo |he interests o fthe army, and especially considerate o f the welfare o f enlisted men. H e was a gentle, kindly man with great confidence In his friends and associ­ates, and was much beloved by his subordinates. Ho was the subject o f unjust criticism because o f the coun­try's lack o f preparedness for war when war came although for this he was In no w ise responsible. H is rec­ord as a soldier in the c iv il war was long, useful and highly honorable.

"As a mark o f respect to his mem­ory it is ordered that the flags at all m ilitary posts be displayed at half- mast on the day o f the funeral.”

BRING GOOD HEALTHDr. W illiam ' Pink Pills. Used A ftet

the Grip. Arrest Fatal Declino and Rebuild the System.

Any bodily weakness caused by a deficiency In the blood can be curcd by tho use o f Dr. Williams* Pink Pill® because theso pills actually n.akc new blood. A fte r attacks o f the grip tho blood Is generally run down and tho patient continues to decline.

“ About three years ago," says Mrs. Jennie Cowan, o f 7IS N. Henry Street. West Buy City, Mich., “ I caught a severe cold, which ran Into the grip. I was confined to my bod fo r two weeks. A t the end o f that tim e I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and I fe lt faint. My heart would flutter and It was difficult fo r me to breathe at times. Neuralgia settled In the back o f my head and stomach and I suffered from rheuma­tism In my shoulders.

“ I had tho care o f the best doctor in town but became no better until a friend told mo ono day how she had been cured by Dr. W illiam s’ Pink P ills and I decided to try them. I soon fe lt bottor and continued using them until I was entirely cured. They built me up again to perfect health and I use them now whenever I feel at all sick and they always help me.’*

Dr. Williams* Pink P ills are Inval- ur.able In such cases, as w ell ss In other blood diseases, because they not only drive off the germs o f the disease but build up the system. The pllla have cured anaemia, rheumatism, a f­ter-effects o f fevers, neuralgia and many other severe disorders.

Dr. W illiam s’ Pink P ills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on rerelpt o f price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.HO, by the Dr. W illiam s Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

The mother at last fell back upon her pillow, her eyes shining with tho joy o f a great relief, while the father was seized with a fit o f cough­ing that cruelly racked his gaunt framo and left him weak but smiling.

The girl had boon placing food upon tho table.

“ *Tis Capt. Glrnway, laddie. Have no alarm he has befriended us. Hut fo r him we should have been put out tw/5 days ngo, without shelter and w.thout care. He let us bo housed here until you should come.”

There was a knock at the door, but Joel stood with his back to It. The words o f Seth W right wore running roughshod through his mind. He looked sharply at Prudence.

“ A mobocrat—our enemy— and you have taken favors from him— a minion o f the devil?— shame!”

The girl looked up.“ He was kind; you don’t realize

that ho has probably saved their lives. Indeed, you must let him In and thank him.”

“ Not I ! ”The mother Interposed hurriedly. “ Yes, yes. laddie! You know not

how high-handed they havo been. They expelled all but us, and some they have maltreated shamefully. This one has been kind to us. Open the door.”

“ I dare not face him— I may not contain m yself!”

The knock was repeated more loud­ly. The girl went up to him and put her hands on his shoulders to draw him away.

“ Be reasonable.” she pleaded, in low tones, “ and above all, be polite to him.”

She put h!m gently aside and drew hack the door. On thc threshold amlled tho young captain. His cap waa doffed, and his left hand rested easily on tho hilt o f his sword. He stepped insldo as one sure o f his wel­come.

"Good morning. Miss Prudcnce, good morning. Mr. Rae, good morn­ing, madam— good morning— ”

Ho looked questloningly at tho stranger. Prudenco stepped forward.

“ This Is Joel llac, Capt. Glrnway.” They bowed, somewhat stlflly. Each

was dark. Each had a face to attract women.

“ When we reached the building where Joseph's store was, they led me up-stairs to a small room and sent down to tho store for the Prophet.

CH APTER IV

A Fair Apostate.She stood flushed and quick-breath­

ing when the door had shut, ho bend­ing toward her with dark inquiry ln his eyes. Before she spoke, ho di­vined that under her nervousness some resolution lay stubbornly fixed.

"L e t us speak alone," she said. In a low voice. Then, to tho old people, "Joel nnd I w ill go Into the garden awhllo to talk. Be patient.”

“ Not for long, dear: our eyes are aching fo r him.”

“ Only a little while,” and she smiled back at them. She went ahcud through the door by which they had first entered, and out Into the garden ut tho back o f the house. He remem­bered. as he followed her. that sincc he had arrived that morning she had always been leading him. directing him ns I f to a certain end. with tho air o f meaning presently to say some­thing o f moment to him.

She led him to a rustic double chair under the heavily rrultcd boughs of an apple tree, and mado him sit down. She began with a vivacious playful- nesa. poorly assumed, to hide her real feeling.

“ Now, sobersides, It must end—this foolishness o f yours----- ”

She stopped, waiting for some ques­tion o f his to help her. But he said nothing, though sho could fee l the burning o f his eyes upon her.

“ This supers!it ious folly, you know," she blurted out. looking up at him In sudden desperation.

“ Te ll me what you mean— you must know I'm Impatient.”

She essayed to be playful again. Iioutlng her dimpled face near to his that ho might kiss her. But he did

thefather and mother have left church, and because o f what?”

“ Because o f bad things, because of this doctrine they practice— this wick­edness o f spiritual wives, plural wives. Think o f it. Joel— that i f 1 were your w ife you might tuke an­other.”

“ I need not think o f it. Surely you know my love. You know I could not do that. Indeed I have heard at last that this doctrine so long gossiped o f is a true one. But I have been away and am not yet learned in Its mysteries. But this much I know— and It is the very cornerstone o f my life : Peter. James and John ordained Joseph Smith here on this earth, and Joseph ordained the twelve. A ll other clfurches have been established by tho wisdom or fo lly o f man. Ours Is the only one on earth established by direct revelation from God. It has a priesthood, and that priesthood is a power we must reverence and obey, no matter what may be Its com­mands. When tho truth is taught me o f this doctrine you speak of. I shall see It to bo right for those to whom it is ordained. And meantime, out­side o f my own little life—my love for you. which would be always sin­gle— I can t measure the revealed w ill o f God with my little moral foot-rule. Joseph was endowed with the open vision. He saw God face to face and heard His voice. Can the standards o f society in Its present corruption measure and pass upon the revela­tions o f so white-souled a man?”

“ I believe he was not white-souled." she replied, in a kind, animated way, as one who was bent upon saving him from error. “ I told you 1 knew why you were sent away on mission. It was because you were my accepted lover— and your white-souled Joseph Smith wanted me fo r himself."

” 1 can't believe it— you couldn't

Now', sir, what do you say?”

When she finished he was silent for a time. Then he spoke, very gently, but with undaunted firmness.

“ Prudence, dearest, I have told yotl that this doctrine is new to me. not yet know its justification.

OTcTTDainty Fem'nine Night Robe

F L A N N E L E T T E G ARM ENT P R E T T Y AND COM FORTABLE.

Can Easily Be Mnde at Home In anAttractive Design— Comparatively

Little and Inexpensive Ma­terial Called For.

There I* no donbt that the flannel­ette nightgown 0f the past was rather a thing to shudder at from the api>ear- ance point o f view, hot now It is a recognized fact that the warmest o f stuff* mays be worked up into just as dainty a garment as Its summer cousin o f lawn and lace. The flannel­ette gown is especially suited for home-making, but the design should be attractive.

Th is really pretty gown requires only five yards o f material, four yards o f insertion and two yards o f wide spaced beading, with some soft wash ribbon for the neck. A ll bulky and fussy decorations are quite out o f place In any such gown as this; so that there is entire absence o f small delicacies and intricate details ln tho picture. Th is lessens the work so that one could make three o f these gowns In the space o f time It would take to manufacture one dainty summer one.

The insertion Is formed Into a square yoke, both back and front, nnd from it the material hangs with Ave rather big tucks eaeh side. Straps of the Insertion are laid down over tho shoulders, with excellent effect, and it appears again, ns a border lo the frills on tho sleeves. There Is moro skill than appears to the casual glance. In these sleeves, for any gathering or fulness so out o f place with flannel, is quite avoided. The beading is used to cover where tho frill cuff joins tho

sleeve, also the inside edge o f tho yoke, where the rlhlton runs through and lies In a real bow. The same effect is given with the beading on thesleeves.

Now, allow ing for the fact that this is a garment especially made for warmth, the pattern w ill be found to be arranfied for the yoke like inser­tion to be laid over the llannel. This method has a double advantage, for not only does It Increase the warmth but It makes tho width o f the trimming used a matter o f not overwhelming Importance. I f one fancies, tbe flan-

Weil A dapted to the MachinePerfect Results Can Be Attained in

Hemstitching.

There Is no other handwork that can be imitated on the machine quite so successfully os hemstitching, nays the Montreal Herald. In fact, unless the work is very carefully done by an expert, the machine work Is to bo preferred to hand work, being abso­lutely even and smooth. A fter the threads are drawn in the usual man­ner. fold the hem over almost to the up)>er edge o f the drawn threads, and hasto evenly. Have a line needle in the machine nnd use No. lOOthreud for ordinary work, nnd up to No. 200 for very rino goods. Have both ten­sions very tight, and the stitch o f me­dium length. Then stitch on the wrong side just as near the edge o f

the hem as possible. A fter removing the banting threads, take the under portion o f the hem In one hand nnd the cloth above tho hem in tho other, and carefully draw the hem down to the bottom or the drawn ‘ breads. Hem-stitched tucks aro made In pre­cisely the same .way, and tin* two make a beautiful finish for white dresses, skirts, aprons and underwear, and savo a world o f time In the mak­ing o f dainty baby clothes. A corded effect Is sometimes tucked on heavy linen, nnd It can lie produced by stitching n second time. Just below tbe drawn threads, a fter the hem or tuck has been pulled Into place. It can also be made the basis o f simple drawn work designs, hem-stitching both edges by machine, and then put­ting iu one or more threads c f hand­work through tho center.

Too Few Women S it ProperlyFrequently Neither Rest Nor Grace In

Attitudes Assumed.

The averace woman wastes a great deal o f her strength because she does not sit properly.

Suppose » he has done a hard morn­ing's work and sits down to w rite s letter or do a bit o f sewing, she Is pretty sure to perch on tho edge o f her chair, so that there is an undue •train upon the muscles o f her back, her legs and her feet and so. Instead o f being a rest, a tax upon hor alroady tired muscles.

Again, notice women In their homes, ln the street cars. In church and so on.

N ot one In 20 sits as sho sh »uld.

The lower part o f tho bad ought to bo pushed firmly against tl e back o f tho chair or tho pew. or the seat, then the spine holds Itself up. the chest Is expanded and the position is a normal and heslthful one.

But as a rule It is the middle o f the back which comes against the back o f tho seat, consequently the spine takes n curved position, the chest Is depressed so that the lungs do not act properly and the strain comes upon muscles which woro never in­tended to boar it.

It may be difficult to overcome the habit, but It Is well worth the e ffo rt

Austin. Tex., .Ian. 23. — Joseph W . Bailey was Tuesday reelected United States senator from this state by a vote, in the two branches o f the state legislature, o f 10& to »5. In the senate the vote was 11* In favor o f Senator Bailey and ten against him. and in the lower house he received S9 votes and 35 against, him.

Springfield. 111.. Jan. 23 — Senator Shelby M.

M INNE SO TA W IN S VICTO RY.

Proposed Issue o f Great Northern Stock Is Enjoined.

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 21.— In the Ramsey county district court Wednes­day Judge Oscar Hallatn signed an order enjoining Juntos J. Hill and other officials o f the Great Northern Railway company from making the proposed Increase o f $00.000.000 worth o f additional stock o f that company "o r issuing the mime or part thereof during the pending litigation without first making an application In writing therefor to the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission and securing Its approval thereof, as provided by section 2.872 o f the revised laws o f 1905 o f Minnesota."

Th is is a complete victory for thfe state in the action brought last month by Attorney General Young nnd his as­sistant. R. \. Stone, to compel the railroad to recognize the state rail- mad and warehouse commission be­fore issuing the stock. The laws pro­vide that before a railroad can issue An Increase o f Its capital stock it must make application to the railway and warehouse commission and make a showing o f the necessity for such an issue.

Some W ays in Which Germs Get Into Milk.

The milk within the cow’s udder is practically, though not absolutely, free from bacteria. Milk drawn from a d irty cow. In a dirty, dusty stable, by a dirty man with dirty hands and clothes is sure to be unclean. Front the cow there falls a shower o f hair, epidermis scales and other dust, bits o f chaff and straw, and particles, if not larger pieces o f crow filth. The m iiker o f uncleanly habits, may con­tribute a collection o f disease germs still more potent for ev il* The filth content o f milk produced tinder such conditions may be Imagined.

It has been found that on an aver­age a loose hair, fa lling Into the milk from the cleaner parts o f the cow, car­ries with it from 6u0 to 700 bacteria Particles o f manure, or hair from patches o f manurlal richness, con­tribute a much more bountiful seeding o f the milk; at the rate o f several millions for each gram, or half tea­spoonful o f the dirt. O f such is the composition o f the dark sediment found at the bottom o f tin* glass o f m ilk produced and delivered by care­less dairymen.— Dr. A. G. Young, See. Me. Hoard o f Health.

D A IR Y NOTES.

N ot all cow keepers deserve the title dairyman.

The m ilking shorthorn was not much in evidence at the large fairs this fall.

A fte r the milk is once contaminated no amount o f “ doctoring” w ill restore it to its pristine purity.

In Cuba the cows are driven from house to house and the desired quanti­ty o f milk is drawn in the presence o f the purchaser.

Pure, wholesome milk Is a food rel­ished alike by Infants, Invalids, and strong men. Tho impurity o f tho product is what men most object to.

Many farmers living close to cities, large or small, could develop a profit­able business In supplying fresh milk to the townspeople. T ry It and be convinced.

A co-operative creamery run on a large scale is a money maker for its patrons. Dairymen should pay more attention to the principles o f coopera­tion. Co-operative creameries and cheese factories are excellent indica­tions o f the superior Intelligence o f the communities In which they are found.

W e are glad we do not live In a city and be compelled to take chalk and water as a substitute for real milk. On the farm we can have the real article in any desired degree o f rich­ness. One reason more milk is not consumed in large cities is because people cannot get the unadulterated article.

CREAM FOR CREAM ERY.

Some General Rules Which Should Be Observed on tho Form.

Tho creaiu separator should b& handled as follows: Head the book of instruction sent out by tho se parator firm. Insist on th« separator aud all the utensils that come in contact with the milk being cleaned every time they are used. Ono o f the reasons why so much poor cream is delivered is because the farm er bas not a suit­able place to keep it.

Tho follow ing plan has worked sat­isfactorily. It requires an oil l>arrel burned out, plueed In the milk house or between the pump and the stock watering tank. Between the first and second hoop drill six or eight one- Inch holes at equal distances. Just below tho second hoop drill ono 1 Vi- inch hole. The water pipe from the w ell to enter at (his |>o!nt. On the inside o f the barrel place a wooden trough to carry the water to the bot­tom of tho luitrel. In the side o f the barrel, netx to the water tank, and above the third hoop, drill a two-ineh hole and connect this with a pipe to carry the water to the tank. A tight box can be used in place o f the bar­rel. An arrangement o f the above de­scription w ill hold all the cream pro­duced upon an average farm and tho cream w ill be in a fa irly good condi­tion for a four-day per week delivery — providing that all the water needed for the stock has boon passed through this barrel.

W e often underestimate the Im­portance o f frequent deliveries. Tho average producer o f milk has not tho facilities to keep tho cream more than three days and even then In a number o f cases the cream is not In a fit con­dition to be made Into butter o f good quality. It is true that the cost ot getting the cream to the cream ery must be considered, but it should not be done at the expense o f quality.

As a rule the beat results are ob­tained when the cream Is delivered by the producer or when several patrons in oue community tako turn about to deliver the cream. When this method cannot he followed and tin* cream can not be shipped by rull, do the next best thing, that o f collecting tho cream by means o f the regular cream haulers. The man In charge o f tho wagon should know the grado o f cream desired. Ho should be a man that would treat all farmers alike and If he found a few o f the farmers wero not taking proper caro o f tho cream he should lie a bio to g ive them a little friendly advice.

The most satlsfaetory method o f handling the cream on the wagon is to use the 30-gallon Jacketed cans, fitted up with floats. The wagon should be covered und fitted with springs. Tho driver should be fur­nished with a scale, n pall with a re­movable cover, a stirrer, the base be­ing o f heavy rubber, to be used to scrape down the cream from the can.

The hauler should not rinse out tho farm er's cans with water. He should have one small dipper and a sample ca;% to hold enough bottles to cnablo him to leave one for each patron. Ho should also have a book containing i he patrons' names and numbers. The bottles should Ik* the heavy ones with the five-inch tubes rather than tho ones with the nine-inch tubes. They hold more and are easier to fill and empty.

Make regular trips. Call tin all tho patrons, except when they havo told you they would churn. Never fall to call for tho cream because the patron has a small amount and thinks he can hold It until tho next time. One gal­lon o f o ff flavored cream will s|K>il sev­eral gallons.

W eigh all o f the |>afron‘* cream In your own pall.

Do not take out the sample fo r test­ing until you havo weighed and thor­oughly mixed the cream. F ill samplo bottle.

Be sure that your sample bottles are not mixed and that each patron is credited with the correct amount o fcream.

Start early and do not stop longer than necessary.— University o f Illi­nois. Carl K. Lee.

Mud Fever.Mud fever in colts Is caused from

allow ing them to run in lots not prop­er ly drained The best means o f pre­venting this, says Orange Judd Farm­er. is to provide a dry lot. clip the hair from around the pastern, wash off the mud at least once a day and carefully dry the skin. The wash­ing should be done with cold water and the animals should be kept in a warm shed until thoroughly dry. Rubbing occasionally with a liniment consisting o f acetate o f lead one ounce, o live o il one pint and water one pint, w ill do much to prevent cracking o f the heel.

Doctor No. 3 said it was eczem a By this tim e sho was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. W ell, he said he could help her, so wo le t him try It about a week. Ono morning wo discovered a little yellow pimple on ono o f her eyes. O f course wo ’ phoned fo r doctor No. 3.

So wo went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said tho eye­sight was gone, but that ho could help I t W o thought wo would try doctor No. 5. W ell, that proved the same, only ho charged $10 moro than doctor No. 4. W e were nearly dis­couraged. I saw one o f tho Cuti­cura advertisements In the paper and thought we would try tho Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set o f Cuticura Remedies, which cost mo $1. and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great Improve­m en t and In ono week all sores had disappeared.
