O. Nattinger, died at her home on the East
elde on Sunday afternoon. last, at the age of
87 years. Mrs. Natt'inger was born in
Itehobeth, Mass., near the city of ProvL
denoe, R. I., and there grew up to woman
hood. She engaged In the ocoupatiou of
teacher in the publio sohools of Kehobeth,
and later in Springfield, Otlo. She was
married to Mr. Nattinger in 183C, and hag
been a resident of this city for many years.
The funeral took place from her late resi
dence at 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
and was largely attended. '
Ex-SuiBirr HoaiiiuRT. The funeral of
Ex-Sheriflf Henry Hurlburt, were conveyed
to this city from Joliet on the Bock 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.
He came to this oily 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 Ileddick & Hurlburt,
grocers, and oarried on the business alone
while Mr. Ileddick was sheriff. From 1810
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. Iter. M. K. Whittlesey officiated
at the grave.
Milton Piehtir. Milton I'iester, of Pies
ter & Wilson, of Marseilles, died at his
home in that city on Friday evening last,
His death was very sudden, resulting from
the rupture of blood vesel in his brain. He
had arisen at t e usual hour in the morning,
and went about his business with his cuBto
tnary attention. After being at his oOlce
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 paiu toward midnight, in the midst
of hlsBorrowiug wile and family.
He was one of Marseille' most enterpri
sing citizen; aud his death leaves a vaoanoj
in the social and business life of the city,
which it will be difficult to fill. He was laid
at rest in the protty Marseilles cemetery,
llev. Warren F. Day of this oily ofiioluting.
Mus. 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.
denoe 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
wu 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 influenoe 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 the euchre club on Tuesday evening,
Some forty odd guests were present.
The Yorkvllle court house Is completed
and the liecord says It la not such a build
ing as was destroyed by fire last March.
Driving In of the cupola gives It a squat
. appearance, while the old one was digni
fied. The fence across the court room to
separata the court and spectators has no
style about It, and the color of the Interior
paint Is horrid.

The ladies of St. Columba's congregation
are muking preparations to bold a fuir
for
the erectiou of the new auadomy, uuder
the
direction of the Witters of Mercy. It is well
known that the nreseut building is by no
means adequate to school purposes. The
Sisters inteud to commence the new build
ing in the spring, and it is hoped that they
will then be able to give ample accommoda
tions to their pupils.
The ladies are making strenuous eltoris
for the success of the fair, and, it must be
added that ths gentlemen are seconding
their exertions.
The fair will open Jan 23, 1888, at the
new Armory hall. A most exquisite dis-
play of tapestry and other ornamental work
will be among the attractions.
The ladies call upon all to unite with
them in their efforts for so laudable and
necessary an undertaking.

A Mirii:ln rreroriii0l Id Our MltUt.
Mrs. Dr. Kbck. AW Friend: I feal
that I should be negleoting my duty were I
to fall in giving you my testimony to the
value of your pood advise and mediolnes.
For I feal vou nave saveu my tire, i nave
been sick nearly ten months, and have been
under several dootors care, ana taken va
rious kinds of medicines, but secured no
benefit from them. I coughed continually
day and night, aud had night sweats, I was
so weak I wanted to sit or lie down most of
the time, I oould hardly go up or down stairs
so short was my breath. My bands and
feet were cold at times, ana baa nign levers
and severe headaches. At times 1 had an
all none feal inn in uiy stomach, and often
severe pains and running off at the bowels,
I had pains in my cnest, lungs ana oacn,
and often cutting sharp pains in my leart.
No appetite at all and was very nervous.
My menses nail stopea ior six momus.
In Maroh last I not a severe oold. In May
my parents consulted several of the best
doctors in Ottawa. They said I had Pulna-
a nary Consumption and could not live, and
every one believed it but my niotner, wno
said she would not give me up. She consul
ted Mrs. Dr. Keck by letter, xne uootor
did not want to take my case as she had
ue ver seen me, but finally conoluded to send
me some medicines which she thought woulu
help me, but would not promise anything
until she had made personal examinations.
I began to take her medicine in July, ana
soon was feallng better, my appetite return
ed, all my severe pains have about left me,
I can walk a mile without fatigue, and eat
as hearty as anyone, my bowels give me no
trouble, and menses returned arter two
months, treatment. When I placed myself
under your care I weighed 90 pounds
and I now weigh 120 pounds, 10 pounds
more than ever in my life, and in fact 1 have
improved so much 1 am a perfect wonder to
every person that sees me even) the old doc
tor, aud 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
sntlerer to visit you.
I hope any person as sick as I was will
not despair for their is help for them through
Mrs. Dr. Keck. I w'uh you good luck Dear
Doctor. If anybody wishes to know more
in regard to my case let them address me or
my father. Aknib K. Partriugi.

We learn the Dootor will favor Ottawa
with a visit Dec. 28, for four days, oflice at

It may be laid down as a rule, siiys the au
thor In "urtistic LorhCblioluK," that the horn
grows more rapidly in warm climates than In
cold, wet ones; In healthy, energetic animals
than In those which are soft and and weakly;
during exercise than In repose; In young than
In old animals. Food, labor and shoeing also
add their Influence, while tho scasous are to
some extent concerned In tbe growth and
shape of the hoof. In winter it widens, be
comes softer, and grows but little; in summer
It Is condensed, becomes more rigid, concave
and resisting, Is exposed to severe wear and
grows more rapidly; this variation Is a provi
sion of nature to enable the hoof to adapt it
self to the altered conditions It has met hard
horn to hard ground, soft horn to soft ground.
In this way is accounted for the influence
of locality upon the shape of the foot. On
hard, dry ground tho hoof is dense, tenacious
and small, with concave sole, and a little, but
llrm frog; in marshy regions it is large and
spreadiug, the horn soft aud easily destroyed
by wear. Tbe sole thin and flat, and tbe frog
an linmeuse spongy mas which Is badly fitted
to receive pressure from slightly hardened
soil. In u dry climate, we have un animal
sinull, compact, w iry and vigorous, traveling
on a surfuce which demands a tenacious hoof,
and uot one adHpted to prcveut sinking; In
the marshy region we have a large, heavy
lymphatic creature, one of whose primary re.
iUireinents is a foot designed to travel un a
soft yielding nurfuce. Change the respective
situations of these two horses, and nature im
mediately begins to transform them and their
feet.
In the ordinary conditions of town work
and stable management, it has been observed
that tho wall of a healthy foot grows down
from the coronet at the 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 OUy, John
S. Clark, to make a match on their behalf
with Senator Stanford to trot Sudle D. against
the gentleman's sensational youngster, Nor
laine for any amount from $2,500 to $10,000 a
side, they te take Sudie 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
accumnilatlng on their bodies and legs. Now,
if the stable men w ill attend, cleanse 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 tho 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 sec that It
should make any dlllerenco which way he's
headed." "Dat a kuse you doan own him,
suh. His speed when he's gwlne home keens a
stop-watch bobbin' all over, but when he's
coiuiii' away fum do ba'n you kin cotch his
time by a terbacker box." Detroit Free Press.

The most unromantio and matter of fact
husband chronicled this year is James Conk
ling, a railroader living at La Salle. James
had been on the road for a couple 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, la 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 Oreoian mother
mourning for her young who came not. Any
way she wrote repeatedly to Charles and he
responded, coming to board at tbe home of
the unsuspeoting husband. Conkling took
the matter very oooly, stayed all night and
left with his children for Prinoeton in the
morning. Kefore leaving he shook hands
with Charles, saying, "Charley take good
care of her, she's yourn."
The boys of Co. D. will give a grand
