Stop Your Cough !!

The wonderful results and immense snlr
of HALE'S COUGH CORDIAL the past
season, ought to convince the most skepti-
cal; still we are going to continue the same
liberal offer that we have made heretofore,
viz: Any person suffering with a cold,
cough or sore throa., who will call st Fred
J. Schroeters Drug Store and purchase u
bottle of HALES COUGH CORDIAL, use
one:half of it, and if they then conclude
that it is doing them no good, they can re-
turn the balance and receive back their
money. Who would not test this medicine
on such liberal terms? No medicine ever
sold in this vicinity that produced sucL
magical results. All we ask is that YOU
will try it.

very enj oyable musical entertainment
was given at the College of the Sacred
Heart on the evening of the 22d inst. The
College parlors were crowded. Some of
the audience, of course, having parental in
terssts in the young performers, bat many
no doubt, were attracted by the high repu-
tation of the Prof. Rev. E. Lilly, G. S. G.
The programme was we'll selected The

we'll rendered, and deserved the hearty ap-
plause it ELECTED. Master N. Schumacher of
St. Killian, Fond ..du Lac county, Wis,
played two Solos, "Forest Glade and
ssPhan TASTE" This young student made
very fine effort indeed, he plays with vig-
orous yet sensitive touch, and with much
more than ordinary expr ession. Master
Theodore FisEel, of Milw aukee, entertained
the company with "Coquette Polka" "Un
Premier Amour" s'Syracuse Polka" This
young pianoist gives bright promise of fu-
details, must be a source of qualification to
his professor. "Red Stocking March and
aGolden Bubble Scottsch'' were rendered
in most graceful and pleasing manner, BY
Master James Periolat of Chicago. Al
though last in size and years, this young
player ranks first as juvenile pianist in
the college. Master Frank Schooner, Of
Oshkosh. made quite an impressi with
the well known "Chandon Waltz" The
Duett, Piano and Violin, by Rev. e. lilly:
T. n. O'Leary and NJ Moore, was really
charming. s'Star of Twilight (Duett) by
Brother Aloysius and Master P. Kerrigan,
of Chicago, will not soon be forgotten BY
the lovers of the cart divine" The feeling
with which the piece was sung, won the adj
miratien of all. aAlpine Hon." "Angels
So Fair" and other solos of the most soul
stirring and melodious natures were sung by
Professor O'Leary, whose voice and culture
indicate very high order of talent. Many

WIN. Deidrich, Of Port Washington, as irst

which is said to be about $50, 900, returned
