Oh! how the W.‘ C. T. U’s are being slapped in the face all over the country. The town board of Goodland did not recognize their petition for a representative on the school board and following in the wake of this the great temperance maker Mills has had to let his hotel fit the World’s Fair go into the hands of a receiver and now he has sued the W. C. T. U’s at Chicago for $75,000 damages. Oh! Scott, ain’t it hot? Some of our citizens have eaten new potatoes of their own growing this year.

Reports say the C. & I. C. are going to put on another freight train. But this will be drawn by an ordinary traction engine and will reach Chicago in ad, vance ofall passenger trains now over the road. In other words it will be given the right of way over every thing else.

DESERVINQ PRAISE. We desire to say to our citizens that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Bucklin’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. F. B. druggist. LAFAYETTE STOCK FARM.
