Write This Down in the book or memory: there is no such thing as a harmless cough. Every cough is a warning of a con fidence that goes trom bad to worse unless it is remedied right away. Opium-laden medicine is a delusion. Allen's Lung Balsam cures the worst of colds. It clears the bronchial passages, so that the lungs get plenty of air. Whv not get a bottle today? (2) POSTPONED. The play to be given by Woodward degree staff will be postponed on account of sickness. Watcli the papers for the date. Perfect Confidence. Where there used to be a feeling of uneasiness and worry in the household when a child showed symptoms of croup, there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. I. Basford, of Poolesville, Md., in speaking of her experience in the use of that remedy says: "I have a world of confidence in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for I have used it with perfect success. My child Garland is subject to severe attacks of croup -and it always gives Iiim prompt relief." For sale by A. G. Lukeji & Co. and W. II. Sudhoff, corner fifth and Main streets. KEEP THE BIELE FOR LUCK. (Chicago Tribune.) At Sycamore, II!., a well-known l)uiness firm makes a practice to keep It is found necessary to remove it occasionally, but it is always careful ly replaced. The men who adopted this queer practice when they commenced business years ago have litte to say in explanation. In all their business life their safe or store has never been robbed or entered. They have had a continuous good business, and are among the most successful business houses of the town. All of the members of the firm attend the churches of the town, but all are liberal in their religious views, and the prevailing belief in the town is that Holy Writ is kept in the safe principally for good luck. Driving Out the Enemy. These are the days of colds, sharp and sudden, attacking throat and lungs, and leading to consequences one does not like to think about.

(Xew York Press.) unee m a while when the com muting card players get going too swift," said a conductor on the Xew Jersey Central, "somebody makes a howl to the officials of the line and we have to slow down on all games until the storm blows over. The men in the smoker don't like it, but they have only themselves to blame. But if they don't play cards they gamble, with something else. I've seen them bet on the number of passengers that would get out of the car at the next station and on the number that would get on. "But my greater experience in that line was when I was on the Union Pacific. One day the order was handed out to stop all card playing on the trains. Some of the fellows were hopping mad, but the President's order went.' One evening four fellows got on with a cigar box and asked the brakeman to turn over a seat so that they could sit knees together. In the top of tfie cigar box near the center, was asmall hole. Inside the box was a cockroach. The men took four lumps of sugar and put one lump on each of the four corners of the box and began to bet on which lump the cockroach would tackle first when he came out of the hole. . "Well, sir, everybody in the car just hunched around those men. Bets new thick and tast not only anion the men who were playing, but among the bystanders. When Mr. Cockroach came out he seemed a little bit uncertain. Then he put out his feelers and suddenlv made a dive for one corner of the box. There was a howl of delight among the men who had backed that particular corner. Then the men put him back in the box and made him do it all over again. "That game Avas played five times in a forty mile run. and $.00 changed hands on the result. BLAIR AND CARNEGIE. (Xew York Press.) "Do you know what started Andrew Carnegie to giving the people of the universe libraries?" said a Pittsburger. "I can tell you. Old John Insley Blair, Blair died about four years ago, leaving a fortune of some .$100,000,000 to be wrangled for. At one time he was the individual owner of more miles of railroad than any other person in the world. In hopes of easing his conscience he began tobuild churches in Godless communities, and kept at it until about 125 houses of worship stood in his . . . . . , , all with spires aspiring to hea - TT , . .,, J name ve:i. lie also ouiu a lew academies mid colleges. Carnegie was a warm friend and earnest admirer of Blair. He took a sudden notion to quash his own qualms. Among his first offerings on the atonement altar was a church organ. He said jokingly that he could stand for the utterances of the organ pipes, but not for those of the preachers. The gift of that first organ was loiiowed by nunureds or others enough to keep one factory busy working overtime." It is not generally known that Mr. Carnegie was the third man wounded on the Union side in the Civil War. fie was at the time ijn charge of the (astern military railroads and telegraph lines under Colonel Scott, As- ; istant Secretary of War, and was hit while removing obstructions from the Washington tracks. I do not think he has yet applied for a pension.
