Dear Sirs:—l have been bothered for 15 years with constipation and I have tried many preparations during that time.

Hurt. Holthouse, Callow & Co. a Isn’t it a fact that a persistent, bellyaching growler ultimately gets the worst of it in any avenue of life?

A printer in making up the forms, getting the page ready to print, took a hand full of type from the tail end of a fire item and by mistake put it up against the first of a funeral notice.

The following tip is for those who are worried by the troublesome creatures mosquitoes: “Throw a bit of alum, about the size of a marble, into a bowl of water, and wet the hands and face and any exposetl parts lightly with it. Not a mosquito will approach you. They hum about a little and disappear. I never had any occasion to use a mosquito curtain and am glad to think that I can perhaps benefit others (travelers in particular) by this little bit of information.” The crank on the subject of “David Harum” is abroad. If you have not already read the famous book the man or woman who has will give you no peace until you have taken the prescription. One blessing is the fact that the dose is a pleasant one, and well worth the while. Probably a million readers have derived profit and enjoyment from the simple story of the quaint old village philospher, whose horse trading code and rule of life action are so entirely dissimilar, and whose wit and wisdom are so refreshing. You must succumb, sooner or later to the “David Harum" crank, A double program under the auspices of the Rathbone Sisters was given at Bosse's opera house last h riday evening, when Prof. Charles Bishop and .a competent home talent company presented “My Neighbor,” followed by the comedy drama “My Wife.” Both were most successful and are said to have been the best home talent plays ever given in the citv. The first part of the program was given by Misses May Niblick, Gertrude Rademacher and Dessie Beerv, and Messrs. Bishop, Dailey and Patterson. The farce was well done and each participant did his part well. The company to present “My Wife” was as follows: Misses Fannie DeVilbiss, June Merryman and Grace Peterson and Messrs. Eugene Douglass Dr. Roy Archbold, Lewis Hurst. Frank Rose and Prof. Charles Bishop, and they certainly did great credit to themselves. Indeed the young ladies were almost good enough to star in anv of the high-class theatres of the country. While Messrs. Douglass. Rose aiid Archbold were also splendid and distinguished themselves before the large audience. The play was repeated Monday evening and in connection with same the KeuchmannDouglass Concert Company gave an interesting entertainment.

If it does not die abornin we are liable to have some health rules or resolutions that will ask those who have not been vacinated within the last ten years, to dig up fifty cents, turn yourself over to the tender mercies of the physician and have this small pox preventative applied. The secretary of the state board of health has issued such recommendations to county and city boards of health, and in many places they have already began to follow the orders issued. The reasons assigned is that this coming winter is going to be bad for small pox contagion and in order to beat the devil at his own game, the vaci nation preventative has been introduced. It the resolution turns up it will bear the signature of the health board, school trustees, common council and board of commissioners. SIOO Reward, SIOO.
