A peculiar and up-to-date illustration of the stage vagabond will be delineated by the popular comedian Jule Walters at the oiiera house, Nov. 14, when Mr. Jule Walters will present his highly successful comedy “Side Tracked, in its new dress.

About four years ago one side of my abdomen began to enlarge from a growth inside. It grew to such proportions that it seemed to fill up the abdomen. Then dropsy began and swelled both legs and stomach to twice their normal size. The doctors called the trouble enlargement of the spleen, and told me I must die. I was removed from the hospital and sent for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. I took seven bottles and continually gained and am well in every way now. The dropsy entirely disappeared and left the growth very small. Michael O’Neil.

In some places it is more severe than in others, but the most active precautions should be taken by health officers, school teachers and patents everywhere to prevent a general epidemic. The board is advising the inspection of school children and their removal from school when they show the least symptoms of diphtheria. Some children who have been exposed to the disease are evidently immune, for they do not take it.”

Mr. Bailey could not fill the appointment and M. T. Rainey was substituted. During the latter’s address “J. N.” forced his way through the crowd, mounted the platform and ignoring Mr. Rainey, expressed his gratitude at seeing so many friends present. He apologized for taking up the time of the orator, and announced that he would “lift the veil” at the court house next Tuesday night and urged all to come out and hear him. Then the venerable tourist majestically strode down the aisle and out the door. A village blacksmith saved his little son’s life. Mr. H. H. Black, the well known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co., N. Y., says: “Our little son, five years old, has always been subjected to croup, and so bad have the attacks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and used many medicines, but Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy is now our sole reliance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucus and by giving fre quent doses when the croupy symptoms appear we have found that the croup is cured before it gets settled.” There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to a babe as to an adult.

The wife of Rev. Goalrich, pastor of the Christian church of Redkey, is suffering from the disease, and Mrs. Kenvon, wife of the editor of the RedkeyJTimeSjhas had it but is now on a fair waw to recovery. A child in Mr. Kenyon’s family, however, is not so lucky, and there are grave doubts if it can survive, the ravages of the dread disease having made such deep inroads on its constitution. No pains are being spared to confine the disease as much as possible and to obviate any liability of its spreading and becoming epi demic. —Portland Commercial. It is seldom that a single day sees the opening of two new oil fields as was true of Saturday. Two wells were drilled in Saturday that mean the opening of as many new fields and fields that benefit two counties. One is on the farm in Bearcreek township just west of the Alex Rayn farm and formerly owned by Fred Bimel. The lease is held by George W. Bolds who is also fortunate enough to own a farm adjoining. This well makes an excellent showing and will doubtless mean the bringing together of the Geneva field and the big field in Jack son and Bearcreek townships. Jay county. Another well which means as much in another direction was drilled in on the Isaac Baker farm two miles southeast of Geneva by Briggs, Wheeler & Co. C. C.
