"Last winter an infant child of mine had croup in a violent form" says Elder John W. Rogers, a Christian Evangelist, of Filley, Mo. "I gave her a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in a short time all danger was past and the child recovered." This remedy not only cures eroup, but when given as soon as the symptoms appear, will prevent the attack. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by A. G. Luken fc Co. and W. H. Sudhoff. Executor's Sale.

Agriculture Morticul ture. The November session of the Wayne County Agricultural and Horticultural Society was held on the 9th, in the society 's room at the court houseAfter the mi nutes of the last meeting were read, reports on the condition of erops, fruits, etc, were given. From the reports from several members, the crop of corn in .this county this year will be between 25 and 40 bushels to the acre, aDd of fair quality. Much inferior corn is found on late planted fields, due to lack of rain when needed last summer. The corn near Greensfork will doubtle- vield the best in the county, oinkr to one light local rain at a time that helped to make the crop The earlier sown wheat did best and the wheat generally will enter the winter In excellent condition. Ra'n ii needed both for wheat and late pastures, which is getting very fehurt. Where fields were manured too heavily the drouth affected the growing crops the most. It was eoncedwl by some that the light yields find prices correspond' ngly highernettiug the producer aoout the same income that would result from an average crop, provided a sufficient surplus was available to sell. Many remarks were made on the subject of fruits. Apples are keeping poorly, owing to the warm weather during the early autumn. It is believed that a sufficient quantity has been picked to meet the home demand, but none for shipment. Much cider has been made from down and fallen apples and doubtless the fruit stored for winter will need sorting to assist in its keeping qualities. The early freeze of a week ago injured the grape vines, espe a"v the new wood, as the sap had iu suoWntly matured to withstand the which will necessitate closer pruning for next season's crop. The fruit bu-s on the peach and cherry trees for next spring s blooming, are more numerous than common and can be seen at present by carefully examin ing the branches. The grub worm has been especially troublesome and even injurious to the roots of the strawberry plants this season. . Tht various methods of keeping fresh fruit were advocated by those present, agreeing that continued sorting is essential, Mrs. Dr. Morrow exhibited the Stark and one unknown variety of apple; also samples of . crabapples from Preble county, O., grown on a seedling tree that grew from apples brought from Crab Orchard, Ky., in 180rJ, by her grandfather. Hannah C. Grave exhibited a beautiful blooming cacius, and reported with others as having had excellent results from resetting bloomini; plants. The dry stason followed by the late showers, prolonged the season of blooming of out-door plants until checked by efrly frosts. . Too many of qnr members could not report on the yield of potatoes as thev had none to dig. A few exceptionably good yields were referred to. ?- Ensilage and soiling received a share in the general discussion of stock food, especial iy as milk producing agencies. The address bv Caroline C. Hodgin on "The B;rds of Our Door Yard" was thn given. It embraced so much information and was so entertainingly written, that the members were pleased with this most excel-1 lent paper and a special vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Hodgin for her efforts. She indicated the rela tion of the presence of our native birds to the success attained in agri cultural and horticultural pursuits; to the various classifications and their relationship to one another; the decrease in numbers, their enemies, friends, haunts, songs, plumage.food, etc. Her descriptions and characteristics of individual birds, such as the ostrich, vulture, eagle, shrike, and many others were extremely interesting and instrnctive, indicating the thorough knowledge the writer had of the subject of birds. The next session of thesocietv will he held in the society's room, and as it will be the last of the year, the election of officers will be held and the annual reports of the various standing committees will be given. Nothing further appearing the society adjourned. Caleb King, Pres. Walter Ratliff, Sec, Chamberlains Stomach And Liver Tablets. Try them When you feel dull after eating. When you have no appetite.

Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister at Washington, was greatly shocked when be beard of the death of Li II uug Chang. "Ob, this Is too bad, tco bad:' he exclaimed. "It will be a frightful blow to China. I Loe the news is uot true. 1 bope LI Tlung Chang will be left to serve bis country many years, for bis country needs him now if she ever ueeded liiiu. brilliant as have been bis services in the past. "l'or more than forty jears." saM Minister Wu, U IIuu;jc Chung has Ix-en in the service of the Chinese government. He is the "Graml OKI Man" of our country. There is none like him. and it will be generations lwfore another will come up to take his place. "I know the man. 1 served under him. I was taught by bhn. He recommended me for promotion and put nie in line for the advancement thatfiually sent me as minister to the United States. "His experience was vast, and In all China LI 1 1 uiilt Chans alone of all our statesmen has been the one man who could deal with the problems constantly arising in the held of diplomacy, our civil relations with others and the conduct of our army and navy. lie has been proj,iissive and yet conservative. "The new China of today is the result of bis genius, his foresight aud his indomitable will. All the sensible reforms inaugurated in our country are due to him. "lie built the first railroad, the first telegraph. He opened the first minethat gave promise of developing the mineral Industries of the empire the Kalpin mine. "He originated the modern navy, the modern drill and improved tactics In the army. It was Ll Hung Chang who employed General Gordon. "In short. It was Li Hung Chang Who did everything to make China progressive, and it was bis will and bis will alone, aided by a few who believe In his genius, that pressed upon China the few modern ideas she has accepted and made it possible for her to shake off some of the barnacles that clung to j her for many centuries. j "Ll Hung Chang bad the foresight to j see the superiority of foreign appli- t ances. apply them to his own coun- j try and use them to the advancement j and betterment of bis own people. He would have done more and would have j made China a powerful nation and a j strong people had it not been for the j opposition of certain members of the ! imperial cabinet, who. looking at things through the narrow light they possessed, saw only harm In the progressive ideas of Ll Hung Chanc who knew the world and realized the danger that ; would come to China if at any time 1 China should be brought into confiict with the outer world, of which our people knew so little. "He was opposed to the war with Japan because he knew what the renult would be. 14 Hung Chang had suppressed native rebels successfully, but be knew what It meant to cope with a superior force. His advice was not heeded, and when the disaster came he was humiliated nd made to suffer because the advice he had given had not been heeded. "His death will be bad for China. She needs his advice and counsel more now perhaps than ever before." LI Hung Chang visited the United j States in 18US and was the recipient ,' of many courtesies, official and otherwise. One of the notable Incidents of his visit was the planting of a jingko tree, a native of China and Japan, at the tomb of General Grant, in River side park. In New York. The tree Is s still flourishing there. Its queer pa!m ! shaped leaves without a rib are fa mil- ' lar to those who notice trees, for it j grows readily In onr climate. Perhaps ' the extreme simplicity of General j Grant's manners touched a kindred j chord, for, notwithstanding the elabo- j rate etiquette of China which Li Hung j always followed, he was a man of very j simple habits. j Dnring LI Hung Chang's sojourn to 1 this country be called upon Mrs. U. S. J Grant, who has thus referred to the visit: "The visit of his excellency LI flung j Chang to me was the renewal of an acquaintance made in China when General Grant and I were traveling around the world. Ll Hong Chang always bad the warmest admiration and friendship for the general, and his excellency asked to visit me as the widow of the general, his friend. "When we were In China. Li and the general became friends. The premier extended every courtesy to us. He has been very progressive and is so liberal that while we were there be allowed his wife, the late Lady Li. to give a dinner to me. Lady LI was a lovely character and of liberal mind. - "The palace was magnificent, and ev erything about the dinner was the perfection of good taste.

In tile later wars the pub lishors'have len paying advance cons missions, willing to si-eculate on tl lives of the men who went to the from for their material. We have score tS volume from the Spanish-American war, and the South African book are Increasing with every new phase of the lingering campaign. A fact that has never been success fully contradicted is th? personal eour age of the men who do this bind of w ork. It was surprising, therefore, that (Jenernl Algef In b'.s recent book should have used such language as that coutalned l:i the following par graph: "Some timid newrpfpr men accompanying General Your.; and Colonel Wood became alarmed :it the first shot fired at I-is Guusimas and. rushin frantically lju'k to ribi.-iwy lfore the engagement was over, wrote from the docks of transports, ' where they took refuge, imaginary accounts of the fight," Very promptly Richard Harding Pavis. Casper Whitney and the other corresiondencs who were with the army have called uixm General Alger and his publishers, the Messrs. .Harper, for apology aud reparation, and legal proctvding are sp ken of. General Alger replies that he did not refer to either Mr. . ravis or Mr. Whitney In fact, had no one In mind and based the assertion on his recollection of a passing co-tversatloii with an army officer. In which conversation no uamea were mentioned. In one of his stories a leading American novelist called a correspondent In th Indian wars a coward, and a full apology was made by the author In one of the publications of the firm which published bis look. When MacGahan. who was In many respects the best and greatest of all correspondents on the battlefield and who wrote several excellent books, was " portraying the atrocities In Bulgaria, Disraeli arose on the floor of the house of commons and denounced bis statements as false. But that did not keep the young American from upsetting a British ministry and bringing on a great war. To thla day the Bulgarians worship MacGahan as one of their beroe. and some year ago the legislature of Ohio brought hi remains from Europe and gave them a notable burial at his birthplace iu that state. . - . General Sherman wanted to hang some of the literary men who tried to accompany his army, but he got over his feeling in later life and accepted many of them as friends. It is not generally known, but It Is a fact shown In a recently puUltHUcd letter, that George Washington was the first great general to see the advantages of war corre spondents. He wrote to a friend ask ing that representatives of the news papers be sent to write about the war so that the people might know what was being done. The war correspond ent serves a good purpose, and If h' writes books almost as eagerly aa Lr does his diFpatches It may be a fault of the age of rush, which would rather have a fresh failure than an overdue masterpiece. A COLOSSAL ENTERPRISE. Seven Mile Taaael to Obviate Famuli Horseshoe Carre. . " The most colossal enterprise yet undertaken In modern American railroading is to sacrifice the great horseshoe curve of the Pennsylvania Railway company on its main line along the Alleghany mountains five miles west of Altoona. Pa., says a dispatch from that place, by constructing an underground tunnel seven miles in length. It will only be surpassed In distance by the famous St Gothnrd hole between the Alps In Switzerland. The tunnel will begin at a point a few rod below the curve and come but of the mountain a short distance beyond Cressou. a summer resort The length would approximate seven miles. The distance between Kittanning point, where the curve is located, and Cressou ovrf the present line Is about ten miles. The tunnel will save at least tfcree minutes, to say nothing of the steep grades and sharp curves to be eliminated. It is expected the cost will run Into the millions. For years it has been said that the horseshoe curve would have to lie abandoned on account of the growing demands for a shorter and less precipitate line for faster travel Iwtween the east and the west, but it was presumed a fill would be made so that the road might cross the gorge below the two big reservoirs there which supply Altoona with water. Slaaralar Exareaa Coasia-aaaeat. The most singular consignment by express In the history of the American Express company passed through Tfrre Haute. Ind over the Big Four railroad. It consisted of two carlots of brick from St Louis to Augusta. Me., being consigned to Governor Hill of Maine. - The charges on one car were f TOO and on the other fl.225. making an aggregate express bill of 11.923. The aggregate weight was 55,000 pounds. The emergency which forced the shipment by express was that a contractor doing some - -rk for the governor was in need f a certain kind of brici specified In the contract and was unable to secure them at a market nearer than St- Louis. The specified time In which the contractor Is to complete the work made It dangerous for the contractor to take the chances of delay incident to such long shipments by freight. -

The atmosphere plays Its pert In gvlogical operations. Its corroding jk w. er, backed by rain aud wind, helps to decay and disintegrate those rocks which are exposed to its Influence. It;vn completes the work thus begun. Wind blows dust. . sand and volcanic ashes over large tracts of earth In fa-.t. over ihe whole vt it. It is only of late years that geologists have discovered that Cce volcanic dust is carried over the whole of the eartla's surface a n plays a very important part In the deep sea deposits. On deserts and ueariy rainless regions blown sand will wear away the hardest rocks by beating apiinst them. Some sandstone formations cppear to have bceu piled up by winds. Winds cause oeeau currents, waves and storms. The great denuding power of the sea Is largely due to the atmosphere. , Some parts of the Euglish coasts are-being -rapidly washed, away. Plauis and auhnuU have their distribution considerably effected oy winds and ocean currpius. Agaiu. whether living iu water or on land, animals live on the oxygen supplied from the atmosphere,- and kind plants absorb carbonic acid from the uui source. llalu acts In two way: 1 chemically by dissolving certain substances, such as lime, out of the rocks, and mechanically by wearing down their surfaces as it flows over them. Auy old building a ruined castle or cathedral, for instance shows a "weathered" surface resulting from the action of rain and wind. In sandstone structures the details of carving are often lost and on old tombstones the lettering can hardly be deciphered. Springs are due to rainwater collecting In rocks and rising to the surface. Rivers are fed by rains and springs. A river Is a very powerful geological agent In the hardest rocks rivers gradually carve out a valley or gorge. This Is accomplished partly by chemically dissolving certain mineral substances, but chiefly by mechanics) erosion, the stones, sand and mud wearing away the bed of a stream as they run and tumble over it. The finest examples of river action are the famous canyons of Colorado, which in some places are gorges 5.oM or even G.000 feet deep, with vertical sides. But. as already jo:nted out, rivers have a constructive actiou quiteas Important as their destructive action. By bringing down their burdett of sediment Into lakes, estuaries and seas they build up great piles of rock and "sow the dust of continents to be." - . . Glaciers are rivers of Ice fed by the"eternal snows" of high mountain ranges such as the Alps. They wear out their own valleys as rivers do; they transport, mud. sand and stones togreat distances. In some cases sending them soiled up In icebergs to float far out to sea and on melting deposit their burdens on the sea floor. Off the coast of Newfoundland northern Iceberg are depositing a great mass of "glacial drift" - The sea Is a great denuding agent; but Its work is more constructive than destructive. It Is the workshop where nearly all the stratified rocks' havebeen accumulated and ranged In layers or strata. The rivers and ocean currents continually bring in fresh su;plies of debris even for hundreds of miles. . " Man, compared with the lower animals jiroduces but little effect as a geological agent Still the human racehas considerably modified the distribution of plants by cutting down forest and by cultivating certain plants tosupply food. So with animals. Certain useful species have been cultlvat-e-d and enormously Increased at theexpense of others which prove useless or harmful. But plants and animals have had. and still have, far more Influence geologically. Coal seams are made op of vegetable remains of former periods. Forests have an Important Influenceon climate and on animal as well as plant life. In the comparatively unknown world of the ocean marine plants doubtless have Important function. Marine animals accomplish a vast amount of : geological constructive work. Great deixsits thousands of feet thick owe their existence to small calcareous creatures living in the sea. Coral reefs afford the most familiar Illustration. The force known as beat Is of great Importance. The earth Is hotter Ix-Iow the surface and probably has a veryhigh temperature toward its center. In some places not very far below its surface it contains highly hf-.f d rock, which occasionally flows over the surface during volcanic ernptlona. Inother places we find hot springs In cod nection with volcanic action. Heat exercises a powerful Influence on rocks deeply bnried below theearth's surface. - chiefly by means of beated water and steam. In this wayrocks have been very much altered or "metamorphosed. The crystalline schists have tbns been brought to their present state by a ertes of chemical changes due to heat, and there Is r-o doubt that thfw were.once ordisary deposits of clay. sand. etc. Hutchinson's "Autobiography of the Earth;" the Appleton Company.
