Obituary.
Mrs. Mary A. Nattinger. wife of Deacon J.
0. Nattinger, died at her home on the East
side on Sunday afternoon.laat, at the age of
87 years. Mrs. Nattinger was born in
Rehobeth, Mass., near the city of Provi.
dence, R. I., and there grew up to woman
hood. She engaged in the ocoupatiou of
teacher in the public sohools of Rehobeth,
and later in Springfield. Otio. she was
married to Mr. Nattinger in 183G, and has
been a resident of this city for many years.
The funeral took place from her late real
dence at 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
and was largely attended. '
Ex-Sheriff Hurmiubt. The funeral of
Ex-Sheriff Henry Hurlburt, were conveyed
to this city from Joliet on the Rock Island
road at 11:30 on Monday morning, and laid
rest in Ottawa Avenue cemetery, Mr. Hurl
burt was, in the early days a prominent
business and political figure In this county.
Ho oame to this city in 1833, with his broth
er Dr. Hurlburt, who died here in 1815.
For four years, 1831 to 1838, he was a
member of the firm of Roddick & Hurlburt,
grocers, and carried on the business alone
while Mr. Roddick was sheriff. From 1840
to 1850 he served the county ably in the
capacity of Sheriff, and after the expiration
of his term removed to Joliet, where he
leaves a wife to mourn his departure. He
was 77 years old, and had amassed some
property. Rev. M. K. Whittlesey officiated
at the grave.
Milton Piesteh. Milton I'iester, of Pies
ter & Wilson, of Marseilles, died at his
home in I hit city on Friday evening last,
His death was very sudden, resulting from
the rupture of blood vesel in bis brain. He
had arisen at t e usual hour in the morning,
and went about his business with his custo
mary attention. After being at his otlloe
a short time, he was attacked with pain and
vomiting, and upon a physician being called
he was taken to his home, where he expired
in great pain toward midnight, in the midst
of his sorrowing wile and family.
He was one of Marseilles' most enterpri
sing citizens; and his death leaves a vacancy
in the social and business life of the city,
which it will be diflioult to fill. He was laid
at rest iu the protty Marseilles cemetery,
itev. Warren F. Day of this city officiating.
Mbs. W. J. Davis. Mrs W.J, Davis, wife
of a well to do mechanic of Dayton, passed
away at her residence in that village on
Saturday evening last, after an illness of
two weeks with yellow jaundice. She was
a very popular lady, and her loss is deeply
felt in the little village in which she has re
sided so long. She leaves a husband and
three children, and was thirty-three years
of age.
The funeral toak plaee from the late resi.
dence on Monday afternoon.
The Knights of Pythias Ball, at Washing
ton Hall, Marseilles, on Thursday evening
was an unqualified success In every sense of
the word. It was a masquerade ball too,
and no two costumes were alike, except the
groupes. Of course as Stone aud six or
seven others hadn't been to a ball for ten
years they were a little awkward, but what
more could be expected. Stone's costume
was even more killing than as described in
last week's issue, and the way Sammy Rob
inson and Charlie Dawell kicked themselves
after the unmasking would have made angels
weep. You see Stone really looked im.
mense. He resembled a budding maiden
fresh from the enchanting influence of Vas
sar, and consequently Charley and Sammy
would dance with no one else all evening.
Mayor and Mrs. Allen entertained a few
friends on Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Fullerton and Miss Bushnell enter
tained tie euchre club on Tuesday evening,
Some forty odd guests were present.
The Yorkvllle court house Is completed
and the Record says It la not such a build

Driving In of the cupola gives It a squat
appearance, while the old one was digni
fied. The fence across the court room to
separate the court and spectators has no
style about It, and the color of the Interior
paint It horrid.

The ladies of K't. Columba's congregation

Sisters intend to commence the new build

will then be able to give ample accommoda

A Miracle Preformed In Our Midst.
Mrs. Da. Keck. Ktml Friends: I feal
that I should be neglecting my duty were I
to fall in glviug you my testimony to the
value of your good advise and medioines.
or 1 feal you nave saved my lire. I nave
been sick nearly ten months, and have been
nder several dootors cure, and taken va
rious kinds of medicines, but secured no
benefit from them. I coughed continually
day and night, and had night sweats, I was
so weak I wanted to sit or lie down most of
the time, I could hardly go up or down stairs
short was my breath. My bands and
feet were cold at times, and had high fevers
and severe headaches. At times 1 had an
all gone fealing in my stomach, and often
severe pains and running off at the bowels.
I had paius in my chest, lungs and back,
and often cutting sharp pains in my leart.
No appetite at all and was very nervous.
My menses bad sloped for six montiis.
n Maroh last I got a severe cold. In May
my parents oonsulted several of the best
doctors in Ottawa. They said I had Pulm-
anary Consumption and could not live, and
every one believed it but my mother, who
said she would not give me up. She consul
ted Mrs. Dr. Keck by letter. The dootor
did not want to take my case as she had
never seen me, but finally concluded to send
me some medicines which she thought would
help me, but would not promise anything
until she had made personal examinations.
I began to take her medicine in July, and
soon was fealing better, my appetite return
ed, all my severe pains have about left me,
1 can walk a mils without fatigue, and eat
as hearty as anyone, my bowels give me no
trouble, and menses returned after two
months, treatment. When I placed myself
under your care I weighed 00 pounds
and I now weigh 120 pounds, 10 pounds
more than ever in my life, and in fact 1 have
Improved so much I am a perfect wonder to
every person that sees me even) the old doc
tor, and nothing would tempt me to give up
your treatment. There is not a night but
what my mother says, God Bless Dr. Keok
in her prayers, for what you have done for
me, and she said she would advise every
sufferer to visit you.
I hope any person as sick as 1 was will
not despair for their is help for tbem through
Mrs. Dr. Keck. I wish you good luck Dear
Doctor. If anybody wishes to know more
ia regard to my case let them address me or
my father. Annib E. Partridqb.

We learn the Dootor will favor Ottawa
with a visit Dec. 28, for four days, ofhoe at
the Cliftor House. All should avail them-
selves of this opportunity to consult this
famous doctor. Consultation she extends

The houses purohased by the C, B. & Q.

It may be laid down us a rule, says the aa
thur In "urtibtic borbesholuj;," that the born
grows more rapidly in warm climates than In
cold, wet ones; In healthy, energetic animals
than In those which are soft and and weukly
during exercise thau In repose; In young than
In old animals. Food, labor and shoeing also
add their Influence, whilo the seasons are to
somo extent concerned in the growth and
shape of tho hoof. In winter It widens, be
comes softer, and grows but little; In summer
It Is condensed, becomes more rigid, concave
and rcslstlug, Is exposed to severe wear and
grows more rapidly; this variation is a provi
sion of nature to enablo tho hoof to adapt lt-
enAt to the altered conditions It has met hard
horn to bard ground, soft born to soft ground
In this way Is accounted for the Inlluence
of locality upon the shape of the foot. On
hard, dry ground the hoot is dense, tenacious
and small, with concave sole, and a little, but
firm frog; In marshy regions It la large aud
spreading, the horn soft and easily destroyed
by wear. The sole thin and flut, and the frog
an immeiise spongy mass which Is budly fitted
to receive pressure from slightly hardened
soil. In a dry climate, we huvo an aniuiul
smull, compact, wiry and vigorous, traveling
on a surface w hich demands a tenacious hoof,
and not one adapted to prevent sinking; in
the iiiursby region we have a large, heavy
lymphatic creature, one of whose primary re
(lUiremenU is a foot designed to travel on i
soft yielding surface. Change the respective
situations ol these two horses, ana nature lru
mediately begins to transform them and their
feet.
In the ordinary conditions of town work
and 6tablc management, It has been observed
that the wall of a healthy foot grows down
from the coronet at tho rate of about one
quarter of an Inch per month, and that the
entire wall of a medium sized hoof has been
regeratcd In from nine to twelve months.
Bowcrman Brothers, trainers of Sudie D.,
have authorized the owner of that filly, John
S. Clark, to make a match on their behalf
with Senator Stanford to trot Sudle D. against
the gentleman's sensational youngster, Nor
lalne for any amount from $'2,500 to $10,000 a
side, they to take Sudle D. to California, the
race to bo trotted on the Bay District track,
San Francisco, on any date after she shall
become acclimated and thus be fit to take part
In such contest If the proposition be ac
cepted tho race will be trotted either the last
of this month or the first part of January.
Cleanliness of the body and legs is to be
considered, for after the horses have been in
condition of nature and they are suddenly
brought into the artificial state of domestica
tion they cease to roll or shake off the dirt
accummlatlng on their bodies and legs. Now,
If the stable men w ill attend, cloanse and dry
the legs of horses by genuine elbow grease
the trouble they call scratches will never be
heard of again. Scratches, cracked heels and
grease are all the result of bad stable manage
ment and chronically luzy grooming.
"What's the speed of that horse?'' was
asked of an old colored man who was leading
a sad looking equine into a blacksmith shop.
"Which way?" "Why; I don't see that it
should make any difference which way he's
headed." "Dut s base you Uoan' own him.

The most unromantio and matter of fact
husband chronioled this year is James Conk,
ling, a railroader living at La Salle. James
had been on the road for a oouple of days,
and when he landed at the door of his for
mer domicile, his tootsy wootsy, the pride
of his homely heart, had flown over the
garden wall. He hunted up handsome Trip
Nertney, t,a Salle's dandy copper, and to
gether they searched the Polish city, finding
Mrs. Conkling and the children in the lov
ing embraces of Charles 0 Donnel, with
Mrs. C's mother as a sort of adjunct to give
the affair an air of comfort. It seems that
the Conklings formerly resided in Princeton,
and that the charming Mrs. C. became infat
uated with the handsome 0' Donnel to such
an extent that when she was separated from
him by their removal to La Salle, she
mourned his absence as a Greoian mother
mourning for her young who came not. Any
way she wrote repeatedly to Charles and he
responded, coming to board at the home of
the unsuspeoting husband. Conkling took
the matter very oooly, stayed all night and
left with his children for Princeton in the
morning. Refore leaving he shook hands
with Charles, saying, "Charley take good
care of her, she's yourn."
