Spasms
St. Vitus' Dance
Many persons who suf
fered untold agonies from
epilepsy, fits, spasms, and
St. Vitus' Dance are to
day well. The strength
ening influence of Dr.
Miles' Nervine upon the
shattered nerves having
restored them to perfect
health.
"I endured agony that -words can
not express from St. Vitus' dance,
which followed a very severe spell of
rheumatism. I doctored with a phy
sician but the more I took of his med
icine the worse I got. My mother's de
votion saved me. After she had become
almost heart-broken as well as phys
ically exhausted from constant care,
by the advice of a neighbor she procur
ed a bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine. From
the first dose to the last a continual
change for the better was noticable,
and when I had taken eleven bottles
I was well, and in robust health."

"Our little boy Harry, had spasms
for three years, and although we doc
tored with many physicians, he con
tinued to grow worse until he had ten
spasms in one week. About that time
our attention was called to Dr. Miles'
Nervine. We began giving it to him.
His improvement seemed slow, but
when he had finished the fourth bot
tle the spasms had disappeared, and
have not been seen now for years. We
shall always recommend Dr. Miles'
Nervine."

Mrs. Rebecca Haymaker Mudgett.
Mrs. Rebecca Haymaker Mudgett
died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
T. J. Knapp, in Garden Grove, Iowa,
Jan 4, 1007, age 89 years, 1 month and
22 days. She was born at Brady's Run,
Beaver county, l'a., Nov. 18, 1817. In
1821 with her parents she moved to
Portage county, Ohio, where in 1838 she
was united in marriage to Gil man C.
Mudgett, whose home was in Bumers
burg, Defiance county, Ohio.
After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Mudg
lett moved to Paulding county, Ohio
where they had purchased a farm.
Here they lived until 1847 when_ they
moved 13 miles west into
county, Indiana, where they remained
until 1853, when they moved to Iowa,
locating Urst in Jones county, and after
wards in 1800 moving to Decatur coun
ty and settling on a farm in High
Point township. At this time Mrs.
Mudgett was compelled to undergo the
hardships and deprivations common to
the good women of the North during
the years of the Rebellion. She re
mained at home while her husband,
afterwards promoted to the position of
Mayor of the Third Iowa Volunteer
Cavalry, together with three of her sons
fought for this county.

Af^er the war, when the whole family
was reunited they remained in Decatur
county until 1874 when they moved to
Humboldt county, California. In 1887
they moved to Leon, Iowa, and soon
after to Garden Grove, Iowa.
Mrs. Mudgett was converted in 1853
in Indiana, uniting with the United
Brethren church of which church Mr.
Mudgett was a member also. When they
moved to Leon they united with the
Methodist Episcopal church and in 1893
Mrs. Mudgett's membership was trans
ferred to this church here in Garden
Grove of which she has been a faithful
member, attending the services even
after she became a confined invalid,
coming in her chair. For some years
Mrs. Mudgett has been confined to lier
bed and during the last year has been
in the home of her daughter here in
Garden Grove.
The family consisted of ten children,
seven of whom are still living. These
are R. M. Mudgeit, of Middleton, Idaho,
G. C. Mudgett, of Valley City, A'. D.,
Mary G. Knapp, Eurieca, Cal., Sylvia
F. Knapp, Garden Grove, la., F. H.
Mudgett,' of Mercer, Mo., Frances R.
Anderson, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and
Geo. Mudgett, of Spokane, Wahington.
Services were held at the Methodist
church, conducted by Rev. Joe Good
sell, on Monday, Jan. 7th. The sermon
was preached from the text as found in
Luke 24—29, "Abide with us, for it is
toward evening, and the day is far
spent." The remains were laid to rest
in the Garden Grove cemetery.—Garden

An Insidious Danger.
One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is that it is an insidious disease
and before the victim realizes his dan
ger he may have a fatal malady. Take
Foley's Kidney Cure at the first sign of
trouble as it corrects irregularities and
prevents Bright's disease and diabetes.

Burlington to Make Improvements
at Van Wert.
Blue prints have been received by
our local agent of the change in the
Van Wert switch yard and station
grounds. The changes involve an ex
penditure of about §15,000 and will
provide better accommodations for the
transfer of passengers, baggage, mail
and express, as well as a great improve
ment of trains in the yards. All the
passenger trains will do their work on
the south side of the depot and the
freight trains on the north side of the
depot. The car capacity of the new
yard will be 300|cars, while the present
capacity is only 150 cars. Two
new sidings will be built extending
from the water tank to 100 yards west
of the coal chute.
The stock yards will be moved to
150 yards east of the depot on the south
side of all the tracks. Anew main line
will be put in from the water tank to
100 yards east of the depot, running
south of the ice house and through the
present stock yard. A new freight
platform will be built to accommodate
the merchandise cars. A new freight
house will be erected just east of the
ice house and attached to the new
freight platform.
What is the matter with Van Wert
getting anew passenger depot to lit in
with the other improvements? In cold
and rainy, disagreeable weather stand
ing room in the prese.it waiting room
is at a premium a greater part of the
afternoon.—Van Wert Record.
Cured of Lung Trouble
"It is now eleven years since I had a
narrow escape from consumption,"
writes C. O. Floyd, a leading business
man of Kershaw, S. C. "I had run
down in weight to 135 pounds, and
coughing was constant, both by day
and by night. Finally I began taking
Dr. King's New Discovery, and continu
ed this for about six months, when my
cough and lung trouble were entirely
gone and I was restored to my normal
weight, 170 pounds." Thousands of
persons are healed every year. Guaran

Farmers Bank Affairs Will Proba
bly Be Closed In The Spring.
In talking with Assignee Amos we
learn that the affairs of the defunct
Farmers Bank will probably be closed
in the spring. It has been rather slow
work as tilings were in bad condition
and there have been many collections
to make which is now causing the delay
as all the other property has been dis
posed of to a very good advantage.
Mr. Amos is very desirous to have those
indebted call on him and make arrange
ments to settle at an early date. There
has already been dividends paid the de
positor of 23 and as near as can be
estimated there will be another div
idend of a per cent when the final settle
ment is made, making a total of 281 per
cent.—Garden Grove Express.
