A telegram from Two Harbors to Mrs. D. 8. Dennis of this city states that her brother, G. H. Miller, was accidently killed there yesterday forenoon. No details of the accident are given.

Mr. Miller has been a mason in Bemidji for a number of years, coming to the city in the early days.

Following is correct account of the death of John Norden of which so many stories have been circulated. “Last Sunday John Nordin, a! farmer living near Williams, took his rifle and went into the woods adjoining his home thinking to bring home a rabbit. Night came and he did not return and the family became anxious and when morning came the wife sent her 11 year old son to the neighbors to ask advice and asssitance. A neighbor named Kelly and another named Stone at once set out on the track accompanied by the 11 year old son of the los$ man.

Cold weather starts the old aches and pains; they suffer with chilly sensations, cold extremities, poor appetite and digestion, nervousness, sleeplessness and other afflictions peculiar to old age. - With advancing years the strength and vitality of the system begin to decline. -The heart action is weak and irregu- lar, the blood becomes thin and sluggish in its circulation, and often some old blood taint that has lain dormant in the system for years begins to man- ifest itself. A wart or pimple becomes a troublesome sore or ulcer, skin dis- eases break out, or the slight rheumatic pains felt in younger days now cause sleepless nights and hours of agony.
