Matt. Thursday, February a, 1911. QUARTER Of A CENTURY. item? clipped fsoh plasseals or TWENTY-FIVE YEAM AC©. This is one of our wild winters. Thermometer on Tuesday morning 24 degrees below zero. O. W. Owen has his news room run­ ning in first-class shape, where you can order all the daily and weekly l»apers, magazines, etc. The Chicago morning papers arrive here at 10 o'clock. John Myers, with his gang of men, who are filling ice houses at Fox Lake, filled the Cedar Island house, which holds eighty tons, in fire hours and forty-five minutes. This included marking, cutting, drawing and pack­ ing. The Sunday school at the Universal- ist church has already assumed fine proportions in so short a time, starting three weeks ago with forty-eight, and last Sunday numbering seventy-eight. They have a fine set of officers and teachers from some of the leading fam­ ilies in town, and all seem so thoroly in earnest. Homer Wattles had the misfortune to come in contact with a circular saw one day last week and the consequence is he is now minus one finger and a thumb badly damaged. Homer says they are a bad thing to meddle with, as they are dreadfully cutting in their ways. He was lucky to get off so easy. The Universalist society has made quite an improvement in their church by removing the old seats to the right of the pulpit and raising the floor to the level of the main platform, thus bringing their excellent choir up higher than the congregation, allowing them to be heard more distinctly, as well as to enable them to stand n^ore at ease facing the people. New chairs have also been furnished them. Taking it altogether, it is a great improvment. The trial of Gray for the killing of Snyder in the barn of Geo. H. Harri­ son, in October last, came off at Wood­ stock last week and resulted in a sen­ tence of three years in state's prison. How so light a sentence could have been given after the proofs which were brought before the jury is one of the mysteries. His own testimony was enough to have sent him up for twenty years. When a man or boy, who com­ mits a petty theft, is given from two to four years in state's prison, and one who takes the life of a human being and acknowledges the fact only gets a sentence of three years, it looks as tho justice was a thing of the past and our courts a farce." The following is the cast of char­ acters in "The Hidden Hand," present­ ed by the Ringwood Dramatic club for Thursday and Friday evenings of this week, Feb. 4 and 5: Major Ira Warfield, (old Hurricane) John Buckiand Wood, bis servant Patrick Garr Herbert Urayson, Capitola's lover •» John Green Black Donald, the coiner Wm.

Patterson of Wellington, Tex., "as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 pounds, in spite of doctor's treatment for two years. My father, mother and two sisters died of consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King's New Discovery, which com­ pletely cured me. Now I weigh ]M7 pounds and have been well and strong for years."
