ASTONISHING Successful is the duty of
every person who has used Boschee's German
Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in
fact all throat and lung diseases. No person
can use it without immediate refet. Three
doses viii relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor dying consumptve, at least to try
one bottle, as 40, 600 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask
your Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to
try sold at 10 cents. Regular size rs cents.

The mlllerS are very much disturbed
about the farmers raising soft wheat.
The Faribault Democrat says:
Soft wheat yields well-perhaps q
little better than hard varieties: but
the result of introducing it will be to
destroy the reputation Of Minnesota
wheat and -four and send the prices
down.
Would mt it be well for the millers
to put up the price of hard wheat I!
Then the farmers would have some
inducement to raise it. AS it is, it
produces II tlour equal to that of the
Missouri winter-wheat, and sells for
from thirty to fifty cents per bushel
less. Is that right or reasonable! If
hard wheat brings no more than soft
wheat and soft wheat yields more
to the acre, the argument is very
strong in favor of raising soft wheat.

Paul & Quincy Rock Is
land-I Illinois Central-C Chicago Il North
western Pool Railroad Company
The articles of incorporation state
the objects Of this company to be:
|. To more successfully circum-
vent all common law principles apper-
tanning to railroad companies.
.. To set at defiance the statutes
of Illinois which speedily prohibit the
consolidation Of railway lines running
in parallel directions.
3. To extort from shippers high
rates for freights which legitimate
competition would otherwise prevent.
1. To enhance the value of all wa
tered stocks by dividends thus earned.
5. To SO exasperate the public
mind that more granger laws will be.
made necessary. and. finally, to compel
Congress to purchase all lines Of rail
way for the protection of commerce
and the credit of the country.
We call the special attention of bus
mess men throughout the country to
the regulations governing this new
organization, as set fourth above
