He canre to work at an early hour this morning, according to his usual custom, and was working behind the bar when he suddenly gasped, choked, ami fell to the floor. The sa loon porter, who was the only oceu- j par.t of the pluce at the time, imme-! riia'ely summoned a physician, but Mr. j Hr-.mberg was dead upon his arrival. Dr. K. C. J.

Land there is now so expensive that only the rich can buy it. Too nuich is asked for its rental. New lands are in demand where the price is not so high. Nowhere are the old home advantages nearer duplicated, with some new ones added, than in the center of Mich igan's fruit Eelt, where the Swi gart Tract is located in Mason, Manistee, Lake and Wexford Coun ties; and these lands can be haa at very low prices. The climate is fine for fruit growing, being mod erated by nearness to Lake Michi gan The railroads, towns, schools and good roads are there, and good neighbors are assured by the class of industrious farmers who are moving in. HERE YOU CAN easily acquire good farm land and become identi ties with a progressive community. The warm, sandy loam soil re sponds quickly and generously to cultivation. For example, potatoes yield 150 to "200 and sometimes 300 bushels to the acre. Rye, vetch, clover, alfalfa, oats, hay, beans and wheat all do well here. After 5 or 6 years of growth orchards of ap ples, peaches, pears, cherries and plums yield incomes of $21)0.00 per acre and sometimes more. Small fruits do equally well. Conditions are nowhere more favorable for stock raising, dairying and poultry. WORKING MEN, mechanics and men from every trade can save encugh to buy land in this tract on the monthly payment plan. Prices $10 to ?25 per acre and the most desirable selection in Michi gan at $18 per acre. Terms are as low as $10 to $50 down and $5 to $10 per month on 40 acres. While it will be deeded at once to your buying the land, if you should die, family free from any further pay ments. 5 off for all cash. Titles are guaranteed perfect.
