An Ancient Belief.
The indents believed that rheumatism
i^was the work of a demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of sci
atic or inflammatory rheumatism will
agree that the infliction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. It has
ft never been claimed that Chamberlain's
Pain Balm Would cast out demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application relieves the
pain,.and the quick relief which it af
fords is alone worth many times its
woith. For sale by W. A. Alexander,
druggist.

Brewer of scrofula, which had caused

her no help but her cure is complete

Dies on a Train while Enroute Jo
Davis City.
From the St. Joseph Gazette we glean
the following accouut of the death of
Peter F. Poole, for many years a resi
dent of Decatur county, who for several
years has made his home at Bryant,
Mo. At the time of his death Mr.
Poole had started to spend the summer
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Geo.
Blakesley near Davis City. The Gazette
says.
"While on his way to spefid the sum
mer with his wife arid children at Leon,
Iowa, P. F. Poole, aged and decrepit,
died suddenly on the C., B. & Q. train
from Kansas City just as it was entering
the yards yesterday morning at 9:45
o'clock.
Death came quickly and no one dis
covered that the man had 'passed away
uutit after the train had stopped at the
Union Station. G. W. Atkinson, a bag
gageman for the Brown Transfer com
pany, is probably the lftst man who saw
Poole alive. Atkinson boarded the
train at Florence and noticed that the
old man acted as though he was sick.
One of the passengers in the coach' in
passing out after the train had stopped
at-the station noticed that he was dead.
Coroner Richmond was notified and
ordered the body taken to the Heaton
undertaking establishment where an
inquest will be held some time to-day.
The coroner is waiting to hear from
some of the deceased's relatives before
holding the inquest. They were noti
fied at once but as they live in the
country it is not likely that they re
ceived the message in time to reply
yesterday. A message is expected early
this moi ning, however.
Poole had been in Bryant, Douglass
county, for some time. Among other
eflects found on his body was a letter
written by his daughter Lillie, and ad
dressed to him at Bryant. The letter
indicates that the family is in poor cir
cumstances but urges the father to come
home and spend the summer. He was
about 70 years of age and was formerly
a farmer near Leon. He was also an
agent for a nursery at one time.
Death was evidently the result of heart
trouble.
PETER F. POOLE
was born in Washington county, O.,
June 30, 1839. He moved with his par
rents to Decatur county, Iowa, in the
spring of '55 and settled in Morgan
township near Spring Valley, lie was
married to Margaret E, Pitman on Mch.
2, 1865. To this union were born six
children, two sons and four daughter*
viz: Mrs. Orpha Blakesley, Lillie, Alma,
and Grace. Mary and Thomas died at
the age of 4 and 2} years respectively
preceding the father to the better
world.
He united with the Missionary Bap
tist church at the age of fifteen years,
and remained firm in the faith until
death. Shortly after he came to this
county Bro. Po'ole united with the New
Salem Baptist church. Seme years
afterward a Baptist organisation was
perfected at Union school house near
where Bro. Poole ii,ved, be. was a chart
er member of thU organisation, Short
ly afterward he rationed his' member
ship.to New Salem. Bro. Poole was
elected to the offipe ofj deacon in the
New Salens church in 1,886. He was
also a faithful worker in the Sunday
school. He moved with his family to
Wright county, Mo., in the fall of '95.
He departed this life May 23, 1900, 9:45
a. m. on the C., B. & Q. passenger train
iNo. Ill, just as the train entered the
station at St. Joe, Mo., while on his
way home.
Funeral services were conducted May
