Two sample Acorn base burners to close out at less than wholesale cost at Rowles & Parker’s. Dc(n’t waste time shopping. Just come in or telephone us to send the paper. Ram’s Horn Brown will lecture at the Methodist church Friday night, it being the second number of the lecture course. If he is half as entertaining as his recommendations say he is you can not spend 35 cents better than to hear him. Enos, Nellie and Anna Lesh, who have been visiting Eli Arnold’s and the Lesh families, left this morning for their home in Eaton, Ohio, going via Chicago. Katheryn and Sylvanus Arnold accompanied them as far as Chicago, where they will visit for a day or two. The next time one of the Children catch cold, give it something that will promptly and freely but gently move the bowels. In that way the cold will at once be driven out of the system. Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup moves the bowels promptly and freely, yet gently, and at the same time heals irritation and stops the cough. It is especially good for children. Sold by all druggists. Lee Kepner was elected manager and Hugh Kirk captain of Co. M basketball team last night. Games are wanted with athletic teams any place in the state. Lowell has been asked for a game for either Thursday or Friday night of next week. Kirk, Kepner, Morgan, Wartena and Gangloft will probably constitute the first team. They are all able athletes and are expecting to develop one of the best teams in the state.

Lucius Strong, who was operated on in Chicago recently for the removal of a cataract of one of his eyes, is agaiu at his home. The operation has made it possible for him to see partially out of the eye and it is believed that later when glasses are fitted he will be very greatly improved. Airs. J. H. Cox, who was operated on at the same time also for a cataract and who was brought home some time ago, is also improving, seeming to have received more immediate benefit than Mr. Strong. Chas. and Eli Arnold returned Wednesday afternoon from Chicago, where they had gone to call on the Cuban consul, and to secure papers of recognition to be used when Charley goes to Omaja, Cuba, to settle up the estate of his brother, Chris, who was killed there on Nov. 24th. They were informed that no official papers Would be necessary more than letters of introduction to the American consul at Havanna. Charley will postpone his start until he receives a reply to his letter of inquiry addressed to Joe Brennan, following the receipt of the first news of Chris’s death. The wife and four children of Chas. Elder are reported to be in destitute circumstances, it being stated that Charley has totally abandoned them. They live in a house near the residence of Frank Foltz. A small Bupply of coal and some provisions were sent to them today and other help will doubtless be given them as soon as their condition is known. The children are all young and the mother unable to work. It has been suggested that articles of clothing for the woman or children, also potatoes, fruit or anything to. eat be left at the home. It is a deserving case of charity.
