Helena, Mont., April 1. — After be- ing dead half an hour as supposed by three reputable physicians, Vail Wood of Missoula came to life again. The case is considered by Missoula phys- icians to be a remarkable one. Wood was undergoing an operation in a hospital and was under an anaesthet- ic. He is a young man and the opera- tion had been concluded, when sud- denly respiration ceased and his heart stopped beating. For half an hour three physicians worked over him without sign of life. They thought him dead. Suddenly he opened his eyes, and in response to eontinued ex- ertion on the part of the physicians, began to breathe. He is now said to ‘be on the road to recovery. MOVE UP HIGHER. Dakota Town Proposes to Climb Up to a Higher Life. Trent, S. D., April 1. — Cases of towns being moved bodily to a new location are rare, but this place will probably be one of the few towns to have this experience. Through an oversight on the part of the men who started the town, it was located on very low ground, so low, in fact, that during wet periods the streets and lots are sometimes ‘covered with water. Owing to the peculiar loca- tion of the town it would be practical- ly impossible to construct a successful drainage system. The sentiment among the business men and other residents in favor of moving the town to higher ground is very pronounced. NABS DIAMOND BENNY.

D., April 2—John Rooney has received his sentence of death a second time for the murder of Harold Sweet of White Earth, Minn.

Y., March 30th.—Post- master Remers is still in receipt of many letters asking if his cure has held good. It will be remembered that some time ago the particulars of Mr. Re- mers’ case were published in these columns. He had been very low with Diabetes. Physicians could do noth- ing to save him and he grew worse and worse till someone recommended Dodd’s Kidney Pills. A treatment of this remedy was begun and when eight boxes had been taken Mr. Remers began to see an improvement, which continued as the treatment proceeded till he was completely restored. He has since enjoyed perfect health and is as robust and able a man as any in Lancaster. Interviewed the other day he said: “Many people wrote to me when the story of my case was first printed and some write to me yet asking if the cure was only temporary and if the diabetes has returned. I have only ons answer to everybody. Three years ago I was ‘very low with diabetes. The best physicians failed to help me and ‘Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured me. I am well and strong and have not had the slightest return of the old trouble.” THIS MARVEL OF SCIENCE. | Sam’s Surprise When the Chickens Went to Roost in Daytime. During a visit to the South with an eclipse expedition some years ago an eminent American professor met an old negro servant whose duty it was to look after the chickens of the estab- lishment where he was staying. The day before the eclipse took place the professor in an idle moment called the old man to him and said: “Sam, to-morrow morning at 11 o’clock if you watch your chickens you will find‘that they will go to roost.” “Sam was skeptical, of course, but when at the appointed time next day the sun in the heavens was darkened and the chickens repaired to roost, the negro’s astonishment knew no bounds. | He approached the professor in awed | wonder. | “Massa,” he asked, “how long ago did you know dat dem chickens would go to roost?” “Oh, a long time,” said the profes- | sor, airily. “Did you know a year ago, massa?” “Yes.” “Then dat beats de debil!” claimed the astonished old man. “Dem | chickens weren’t hatched a year ago!” Omaha Mercury. MORE THAN HALF Suffer From Coffee Drinking. Coffee does not set up disease with all persons using it; on the other hand it absolutely does create disease in thousands and thousands of cases per- | fectly well apthenticated and trace- able directly to coffee and nothing else, This statement may hurt the feel- ings of some coffee drinkers, but the facts are exactly what they are. Make inquiry of some of your coffee drinking friends, and you may be cer- tain of one thing, one-half of them, yes, more than half, suffer from s}me | sort of incipient or chronic disease. If you want to prove it’s the coffee, or would prefer to prove it’s not the coffee in these cases, take coffee away from these persons for from ten days to a month; don’t change the food in any other way, but give them Postum Food Coffee, and the proof of whether coffee has been the trouble or not will be placed before you in unmistakable terms. A young lady in the St. Mary’s acad- emy, Winnipeg, Can., says: “One of our teachers suffered a long while from indigestion. She was a coffee drinker. She became worse steadily and finally was reduced to a_ point where the stomach did not retain any food, then electricity was tried, but without avail. She, of course, grew | weak very fast and the doctor said the case was practically incurable. “About that time I was attracted to | a statement in one of the papers fe- garding the poisonous effect of coffee and the value of Postum Food Coffee. The statement was not extravagant, but couched in terms that won my confidence and aroused me to the be- lief that it was true. I persuaded our teacher to leave off the morning cup of coffee altogether and use Postum Food Coffee. “A change took place. She began to get better. She has now regained her strength and is able to eat al- most every kind of food, and has tak- en her position as teacher again.” Name given by Postum Co.
