All who have seen the pictures at the parsonage are delighted with them. DETECTIVE ASSOCIATION MET.

The very grave seemed to yawn before Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, lowa, when, after seven weks in the hospital, four of the best physicians gave him up. Then was shown the marvelous curative power of months of frightful suffering from liver trouble and yellow jaundice, getting no help from other remedies or doctors, five bottels of this matchless medicine completely cured him. It’s positively guaranteed for Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles and never disappoints. Only 50 cents at all druggists. HELD A LOG-RAISING. Soon log-raisings will be a thing ot history, as logs are so scarce that it is quite a luxury to have a good, oldfashioned log to burn in the fire-place at Yule-tide. But from Root township comes the story of a log-raising that took place Saturday, the fortunate man being Sam Fuhrman, who was assisted in the work by his son, Milton. He had an old log barn on his place and this was recently torn down and a new one built of the old logs.
