Everybody does! But not every
one- gets them as pure as
those who patronise our store.
Perhaps we are a bit "cranky"
about the purity of everything
we sell. Might make more money
if we substituted some harmless
substances for high priced drugs,
but as human life depends on Che
quality of our preparations we
sell only the best.

DISTRESSING FIRE AT.6ARDEN 6ROVE.
Rusltlng's Livery Barn Burns with
23 Head ot Stock.
Last Friday night about 12:30 the peo
ple of Garden Grove were aroused by
the ringing of the alarm bell and dis
covered that the large barn in the rear
of Shaw's Hotel was a mass of flames.
When tirst discovered by Curt Knp.pp it
was a veritable furnace' inside and too
late to rescue any of the animals inside
and seventeen horses, one cow and five
pigs were cremated. It was the most
distressing fire ever in Garden Groye,
with several hundred people standing
around and unable to do a thing
towards getting the animals out of the
fiery furnace. Only the dampness and
the lack of wind saved the adjoining
buildings as the fire was very hot and
quick, as it was burning shingles were
carried a quarter of a mile. The build
ing was insured for $200, about one
half of its value. Knapp's four hurses
for $350, and the livery stock for $800
shows the amount of stock insured.
Made the Trip Around the World.
Victor Bedier, son of Mr. and Mrs.
F. F. Bedier, arrived home last Satur
day, thus completing a trip taken by
very few persons, around the globe.
Mr. Bedier enlisted in Co. I 51st Iowa
when war was first declared with Spain,
enlisting with the other Leon boys at
Des Moines. When the regiment reach
ed San Francisco he was transferred
from Co. I to the Vol. Hospital Corps
and when they reached Manila he was
made steward of the hospital, his pay
being $30 per month.
He was mustered out at Manila, Sept.
20, 189i), and with three companions,
Corporal Marion Hagler, Co. F. 51st
Iowa, whose home is at Milton, Searg,
James McCoy, Co. F, 51st Iowa, of Iowa
City, and Jessie Corley, Co. F, 51st
Iowa, of Grinnell, decided to return
home by the eastern way, thus making
the trip around the world.
They left Manila Sept. 2Qth on the
transport Senator and accompanied
their regiment as far as Nagasakai,
Japan, where they left the transport
and took passage on the City of Pueblo
for Kobe, steaming up through the In
land Sea. On board were six crazy
soldiers and on Nov. 7th, while out two
days one of the men jumped overboard
and was drowned. They stopped at
Osaka and visited the Japanese tem
ples and parks. They next visited
Yokohama and wfent 150 miles inland
to see the country and then returned
back to Kobe and took passage on the
French mail steamer Tonkin ior Port
Said, Egypt. They stopped at Shanghai,
Laos, Hong Kong and Canton, and
steamed down the Siagon nver through
Hindoo China 30/ miles, landing at a
small French port.
On Oct. 27 they wefe- sit' Singapore.
Two days later they reached Colombo
and spent a week going to the interior.
Here they saw the natives using ele
phants for all kind of work. Thev then
proceeded up the river to Calcutta" where
several days were spent seeing points of
interest, such as the famous black hole,
temples, saw the natives offering goats
up for sacrifice, etc, They were agree
ably surprised one evening when they
stopped in a church, to meet Miss Carrie
Samson, daughter of Seth Samson, of
Van Wert, who went to India a few
months ago to work as a missionary.
It was a pleasant meeting on both sides.
At Ft. Agra they saw the Seven Won
ders and explored the underground pas
sages which lead out to other cities, one
of which is 35 miles long and another 15
miles long. Nov. 26 they arriyed at
Aden, Arabia, and then ^vent through
the Suez Canal to Ishatqalia where they
changed boats and landed st Cairo,
Egypt. While in Egypt they visited
Joseph's well, the citadel, obelisk, an
ostrich farm, the pyramids and tombs
and saw many other interesting sights.
Dec. 12 they reached Italy and saw the
nret snow they had seen since leaving
the United States.
They landed at Marseilles, France,
Dec. 13, and took the train for Paris,
where five days were spent in sight see*
ing. Crossing the channel Liverpool
and London were visited and on Dec.
24 Vic sailed for New York on the steam
er 8t. Louis, arriving at New York on
the 30th. He visited several eastern
cities and then hurried horiie to see the
home folks.
Mr, Bedier brought home with him
many interesting relics, and can tell a
wonderful tale of his travels. While be
is very glad he has had the army ex
perience he says that knowing what he
now does he would not under any cir
cumstances take the chance of getting
bacfc safe and well again. He is now
satisfied to remain in the best country
on the face ot the globe, and he ought
to know, as he has circled it.
