Mrs. S. H. Allport, Johnstown. Pa., says: “Our little girl almost strangled to death with croup. The doctors said she couldn't live but she was instantly relieved by One Minute Cough Cure. Smith, Yager & Falk. a "To whom do you attribute your success?” asked the interviewer. “I think,’ he said, “it must have lieen the fact that when I was an office boy I laughed louder than any of the other boys at the boss' jokes.” High living, intemperance, exposure and many other things bring on Bright's disease. Foley’s Kidney Cure will prevent Bright's disease and all other kidney and bladder disorders if taken in time. Be sure to take Foley's. Holthouse. Callow & Co. a

If the action of your bowels is not easy and regular serious complications must be the final result. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers will remove this danger. Safe, pleasant and effective. Smith. Yager & Falk. a A city directory has been issued showing that Portland has a population of 8,240. They should have waited a year before trying to make any one believe such a funny tale. The 1900 census is still fresh. A. R. Bass, of Morgantown, Ind., had to get up ten or twelve times in the night and had severe backaches and pains in the kidneys. Was cured by Foley’s Kidney Cure. It’s guaranteed. Holthouse, Callow & Co. a This is an advertisement. If you are looking for a laxative, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is IT. The convenience and merit of this valuable remedy will be explained to vour sat isfaction by Smith, Yager & Falk, a That story about a horse “coughing up” $230 down east sounds a little bit like a deviation from the truth. We would have believed it without any hesitation whatever, if the “cough ing” had been done by a man instead of a horse. Have you seen it? We keep Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in plain view, but if you don't happen to see it, why ask for it. The manufacturers guarn tee it to cure dyspepsia and all forms of stomach troubles. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk. ' a What most people want is something mild and gentle, when in need of a physic. Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets fill the bill to a dot. They are easy to take and pleasant in effect. For sale by Holthouse. Callow & Co. a A Wilklsbarre (Pa.) judge was so earnest a stickler for equity that he sued a street car company because he was carried a block beyond his corner, although he had told the conductor plainly to stop the car at a certain street. The verdict in his favor was ten cents. Would have cost him his life. Oscar Bowman, Lebanon. Ky., writes: “I have been using Foley’s Kidney Cure and take great pleasure in stating it gave me a permanent cure of Kidney disease which certainly would have cost me my life.” Take none but Foley’s. Holthouse, Callow & Co. a

John Peterson was at Rome City over Sunday visiting his family. Sheriff Erwin did a thriving business at the county jail Friday and Saturday. The newest umbrella has ball bear ings. It is not claimed that the improvement will'fmt an end to the umbrella thief. What is wanted is an umbrella that will refuse to be stolen or borrowed. A. H. Davis, Mt. Sterling,la., writes: “I was troubled with kidney com plaint for about two years, but two one dollar bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure effected a permanent cure. Holthouse, Callow & Co. a Matthews is to have a new bank, which will be open for business about August 15. Charles W. Cole, Cashier of the Grant county bank at Upland, Ind., is the organizer of the new bank ing company and will become president of the new institution. James White, Brvantsville, Ind., says: DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve healed running sores on both legs. He had suffered six years. Doctors failed to help him. Get DeWitt’s. Accept no imitations. Smith. Yager & Falk. a In cases of cough or croup give the little one One Minute Cough Cure. Then rest easy and have no fear. The child will be all right in a little while. It never fails. Pleasant to take, always safe, sure and almost instaneous in effect. Smith, Yager & Falk, a One may feel that he is all right. But that is not all. He must secure a verdict from others. That is a part of life. That is an end to which the young must direct his energies. To wring from prejudice justice, to exact from a foe due credit for achievement, that is triumph. A California judge has decided that failure on the part of a husband to support a wife is not good grounds for a divorce, and he says further that a wife might easily earn enough to support herself and husband. This decision will afford relief to a few husbands in Adams county. Low Rate of Interest. Money loaned at five per cent, interest, payable annually or semi-an-nually, at option of borrower, with privilege of partial payments at any interest paying time. No delay in making loans. F. M. Sehirmeyer, Decatur, Ind. 9tf Admiral Cervera summed up the whole case when, m speaking of the battle of Santiago harbor, he said: “Actions speak louder than words.” Cervera holds Admiral Schley in the highest respect and can find noground for criticising his management of the American fleet at that memorable battle. What a Tale It Tells. If that mirror of yours shows a wretched sallow complexion, a jaundiced look, moth patches and blotches on the skin, it’s liver trouble; but Dr. King's New Life Pills regulate the liver, purify the blood, give clear skin, rosy checks, rich complexion. Only I 25c at Page Blackburn’s drug store, a An exchange says hiccoughs can be surely and easily stopped by following this formula: Stop both ears tight by inserting your fingers. Then have some one hold a glass of cold water to your lips. Drink the whole glassful as rapidly as possible, keeping the ears tightly "plugged.” The hiccoughs will instantly stop.

Do you have rheumatic pains, loss of appetite, hot dry skin, indigestion, loss of energy, puffiness under the eyes, swelling of the feet and irregu lar action of the bowels? These troubles come from faulty action of the liver and kidneys. Dr. J. H. Me Lean’s Liver and Kidney Balm will cure them. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. a Last season William Reese, owner of a large apple orchard near Beau Lake, Mo., sustained considerable loss through ravages of insects among his fruit. This year, in addition to spraying his trees, he will place fifty lighted lamps in different parts of his orchard at night, depending on a practical demonstration of the moth-and-flame theory. H. G. Cotton, a boy of 16 years died at Huntington recently from the result of a boil on his chin. He consulted a physician about it several times ana was advised to keep poulticing it. Later on blood poisoning set in and death resulted. At a consultation of physicians it was discovered that a germ similar to the di ph t heretic germ had gotten into the boil, thus poisoning the blood. Here are two advertisements which recently appeared in Kansas papers the Chapman Standard and El Dora do Republican respectively: “I wish to thank those who assisted me in keeping my roof from blowing off today. J. C. Russell.” Wanted Some farmhands. I will give a dollar a day, three meals and a custard pie and milk lunch at Ixxltime feather beds Sundays off and permission to kiss the hired girl, for some farm hands.” A cure for cholera infantum. “Last May,” says Mrs. Curtis Baker, of Bookwaiter, Ohio, “an infant child of our neighbor’s was suffering from cholera infantum. Th< doctor had given up all hop's of lecovery. f took a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Choi ora and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to directions. In two days’ time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since) a vigorous.! healthy girl. I have recommended this Remedy, frequently aud have never known it to fail in any single' instance.” For sale by Holthouse, Callow Si Co. a . —— WM* SB* , w

The balloon ascension Saturday was the best ever seen in the county. The street Carnival was a regular picnic for the girls. An old time circus out of doors. O. O. Buck. Beirne, Ark., says: I was troubled with constipation until I bought DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. Since then have been entirely cured of my old complaint. I reccomend them. Smith, Yager & Falk. a Eruptions, cuts, burns, scalds and sores of all kinds quickly healed by DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Certain cure for piles. Beware of coun forfeits. Be sure you get the original DeWitt's. Smith, Yager A Falk, a The earth is not big enough for some people. They must know what planet they were born under and in what sign of the zodiac they plant their crops. Even the inert old moon is consulted about family affairs. “Both my children were taken with whooping cough,” writes Mrs. O. E. Dutton of Danville, 111. “A small bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar cured the cough and saved me a doctor’s bill.” Holthouse, Callow A Co. a The president of the American Federation of Labor, Union 8,215, savs: “I am using your Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin myself and in my family, and find it does lots of go<xl. Yours truly, Geo. C, Campbell. Clinton, lowa. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk. a This statement was made by a preacher: “Last year the United States paid over $1,000,000,000 for intoxicating drinks; $fXX),000,000 for to bacco; $25,000.000 for kid gloves; $5,000,000 for ostrich feathers and only $12,000,000 all told for mission work at home and abroad.” The followers of John Alexander Dowie, and the faith cure people generally, may find some evidence in support of their theories in the thunder and lightning incident which occurred at Sterling. 111., last Thursday night, when the church was struck by lightning and the rain praying congregation was struck with fear. To Save Her Child From frightful disfigurement Mrs. Nannie Galleger, of LaGrange, Ga., applied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve to great sores on her head and face, and writes its quick cure exceeded all her hopes. It works wonders in sores, bruises, skin eruptions, cuts burns, scalds and piles. 25c. Cure guaranteed by Page Blackburn, druggist, a The state senate of Arkansas, by a vote of 14 to 1, has passed a bill making it unlawful for any person to drink intoxicating liquors as a beverage unless he shall have first obtained a license as a dram drinker. The license fee is fixed at five dollars per annum, and the penalty attached to violation of the law is sls fine or imprisonment for 30 days. The laws of health require that the bowels move once each day and one of the penalties for violating this law is piles. Keep your bowels regular by taking a dose of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets when necessary and you will never have that severe punishment inflicted upon you. Price 25 cents. For sale by Holthouse. Callow & Co. a Recently a wife beater in a Chicago suburb was treated to a coat of tar and feathers, and now the papers are discussing whether 'twere better to use tar and feathers upon such an offender or the lash vigorously administered. Either punishment should deter the average husband from action when inclined to take pugilistic privileges with the woman who was so unfortunate as to marry him. While threshing oats in Huntington county one of the men who was hauling in from the field stopped near the engine to wait his turn to unload. A spark from the engine set fire to the load and the team ran away, round and round the field until exhausted. The oats was all burned, the wagon burned, one horse died before they could get it unhitched, and the other one was shot to end its misery. Secretary of State Union B. Hunt, has a letter from C. F. S. Neal, manager of the endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias, in which M. Neal says the indications are that there will be a small per cent of loss due to the mismanagement of ex-manager 3insey; that the correspondence const ant Iv coming in indicate a general confi deuce in the future of the endowment rank and the rank paid between SIO,OOO and $50,000 death claims in J une. Admiral Schley will find out, if he does not already know, that the kid glove crowd in the navy is after him. Schley is a plain, unpretentious dutch man who is a fighter rather than a wearer of white gloves, and Sampson doesn’t like him. Schley won the famous battle when Cervera’s fleet was exterminated and Sampson, who was in command but twenty miles awav, is now trying to prove that he sunk the Spanish ships and that Schley, who directed the fight, is a coward. Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennetts ville, S. C., was once immensely surprised. "Through long suffering from dyspepsia," be writes, my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great distress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which hel|>ed her at once. and. after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It’s a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver.” For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach anil liver troubles it's a positive guaranteed cure.

If you have headache, pain in the back, dizziness with spots floating before the vision, it indicates serious disease of the kidneys. Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm removes these symptoms and cures the disease. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. a Coleman and James Younger, after twenty-five years in the state prison, will begin work as salesmen for a St. Paul dealer in gravestones and tnonu ments. The two gentlemen ought to work up a good trade in that line, as they have put lots of people in a position to need the goods. A woman in Ohio has brought suit against a man for breach of promise. The defendant admits that he promised to marry her eight years ago, but claims that conditions have so -chang ed during the intervening years that he is relieved of his pledge, since at the time of the engagement the woman weighed 135 pounds, while now she tips the beam at 319 pounds, which is more than twice his weight. An Indianapolis man suggests a plan to enable people to sleep on hot nights. He thinks that the conversion of some of the large summer street cars into sleepers and hauling them over the line all night would find many patrons. He thinks, however, that the demand for berths would be so great that it would take several cars ter supply it. “There are fads in perfumery as in everything else.” said a druggist today. “Five years ago the call was for violet. After a three years’ run the demand was for roses, and now carnanation is breaking in. More perfume is usee! in the winter than in the sum mer. The dear girls now enjoy them selves out of doors, and perfumes are not a necessity. In the winter they are confined in ball and party rooms, and then perfume has the call.” Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of th« mucous lining of the Eustachian Tul>e. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous stir faces.
