Many persons who have this oathsomc disease will remember hav- ng bad frequent colds at the time it vas contracted.

DOLL MOTHER IS 84 YEARS OLD. uts in All Her Times Making Dolls For the Little Children. Visitors in Alton this week from Dorchester, 111., tell an Interesting tory of an old lady living on a farm in hat a.

She la Mrs. J. L. Bauer and she Is mown far and near as the "Doll Mother." There's a reason." For several ears past, making dolls has been her occupation, her recreation and her de- ight, the year around, and is said hat she makes two or three nice look- ng dolls week during the fifty two weeks of the year.

She gives away many of her dolls to children too poor buy dolls, or to children of whom she is especially fond, and she sells remainder of her output. The dolls Ind a ready- sale at good prices, and she sends all of the money received 'rom such sales to different orphan asylums to bo spent buying something 'or the inmates. Her dolls are non-breakable, being tnude altogether out of cloth, anna legs, body, head and neck being of substantial cloth, which she buys by tho bolt. In addition to being an ex needle worker, Mrs. Bauer is also an artist with the brush.

She has different colored paints and with her brush paints onto the cloth the faces, and other features so true to life us to be startling at times. Blonde dells with blue eyes and pink cheeks; Gin-man dolls. Yankee dolls, Dutch dolls and brunette dolls with line black eyes and olive complexions are among the ones she manufactures, and according to those who have seen them, they are, not only substantial but are really beautiful. She has made a very large number of these joy-things for chll dren in tho last live or nix Inw many she does not there are member of the "Uaucr chll dron." aa they are known, in nearly every house In Dorchester and in the country for milef around, That Mrs. Bauer may live long and happily la the sincere wish of all the children und most of the grownups in that purl of Macoupln, where her work has given so much happiness to chil dren and pleasure to herself for many vears.

UPPER ALTON. W. A. LOWE'S CAR OF PEARS IN WRECK. Arrives Home Last Night From Trip to Hutchison, Where He Placed Pears on Market.

W. A. Lowe, of Elizabeth street, arrived home last night from Hutchison, where he accompanied his car of pears which he raised this year on his own place and which he shipped two weeks ago from the Upper Alton switch on the cut-off. Mr. Lowe had quite an experience with his venture of sending a car of fruit to a far away market and going with them himself to sell them.

While en route, the car was in a train that had a slight wreck and in the jolt the pears In the car were all suddenly shot to one end of tbe car and many of them mashed. When the car arrived in Hutchison, there was nothing to do, but to sort over the entire shipment. This was a big job and required a number of men working several clays to pick out the good ones from the damaged cues. There were about six Hundred bushels in the car and out of that number Mr. Lowe got almost four hundred bushels which be sold in Hutchison on a ready market and at a good price fie now has a claim against the C.

A. railroad for about two hundred bushels of pears. The wreck occnred on the C. A. near Mexico, Mo.

Mr. Lowe found pears very scarce in the locality where he marketed his, and there was a grqat demand there for all kinds of fruit. Union Service at Baptist Church Sunday Morning. Tbe Presbyterian and Methodist churches of Upper Alton will unite tomorrow morning in the service at the Baptist church to' be held under the auspices of the Charities Convention now in session lu the city.

The building was a new one and had been completed a short time before tho accident occured. Mr. Yoak- el set to work to erect a new building and it will soon be completed. It stands on solid concrete walls and the wooden bins that are being constructed to hold the crushed stone and made of two inch timbers laid flat.

Workmen have been rushing the job along and Indications are that the quarry will soon be in working shape again. The accident at. Mr. Yenkel's plant was not only a heavy loss to him, but. wns unfortunate to Upper Alton in that the street paving jobs were delayed that much more.

The shortage of material has been very serious all the time, but had this little plant been running steadily nil season, the question of material would not have been such a serious one.
