It May Save Your Life.

Habitual constipation or costiveness
is the fruitful source of innumerable
ills; the first of which is impurity OF
the blood. and as natural corse.
quence, the action of the heart, liver,
the stomach and kidneys is disorder
ed. IL is unreasonable then to expect
a return Of health while the cause of
these troubles exist, viz: Constipa-
ton or SluggishnesS of the bowels. 1t
is the habit generally adopted to re-
sort to salts, Castor Oils, Calomel,
etc, which only afford temporary re-
lief, leaving the bowels in a far worse
condition after the effects of these
medicines have passed off. DR.. Solo
mons Bitters move the bowels to a
healthy action, not acting as it were
mechanically, but they Stimulate the
secretions, and in a healthful and
natural manner expel all impurities
without weakening the body. They
increase the appetite, and cause the
body to take on flesh, thus the system
is nourished, and by their tonic ac-
tion on the digestive organs, regular
stools are produced. 33-5t

OBITUARY.

Died, in this village, on the 18th day Of
December, 1884, at the residence of hel
daughter, Mrs r. l.. Dunbar, Mrs. Han
nah Bates, wife of Hosea B. Bates, in the
S0th year of her age.
One by one the old settlers of this vi
cinity are vending their way to the ever
lasting homes prepared for those who
accept the Divine Father as their guide
and support.
Mrs. Bates was identified with the his
tory of the Kinnickinnic valley at an
early date, having removed here with
her husband and built home in 1855
and she has witnessed its growth from
almost primeval wilderness, the home
of the wandering Indians, to its present
growth.
The maiden name of Mrs. Bates was
Hannah Bowman. She was born at
Westford, Vermont, in the year 1905, and
was married to Mr.. Bates ON the oath OF
April, 1927, living happily with him until
her death. Until her advanced age for
bid domestic cares, the home of herself
and husband was headquarters for the
young people who frequently assembled
there to engage in festive amusements
encouraged by the kindly elder people.
Her own family afforded a goodly num-
Der in itself, she having had five children,
four of whom survive her, her family
comprising Hiram B. Bates, now of Am
boy, ILL.,, David II. Bates, of Carman,
Mimi, Mrs. Jeffries. now deceased and
former wife of Mr.. James Jeffries, of
Pennsylvania Mrs X. A. Weed of Knapp,
Wis, and Mrs. r. L. Dunbar with whom
she passed the declining years of her life,
attended by her daughter with tilial care
and by her husband with affectionate
devotion.

Alden,s Literary Revolution.

John Il. Alden's Literary Revolu-
ton, though possibly not making so
large 'noise" in the world as three
or four years ago when its remarka-
Die work was new to the public, is
really making more substantial pro-
gress than ever before. A noticeable
item is the improved quality of the
books issued. Guizot's famous His
tory of France, not sold. till recently
for much less than 5000, is put
forth in eight small octave volumes,
ranking with the handsomest ever is
sued from american printing presses.
including the 426 full page original
illustrations, and is sold for 500.
Rawlins0n S celebrated "Seven Great
Monarchies of the Eastern World, is
produced in elegant form with all the
maps and illustrations. reduced in
price from $500 to S2.T5. These are
but representative of an immense
list Of standard works, ranging in
price from two cents to nearly twenty
dollars. which are set forth in de-
scriptiYe catalogue of 100 pages. and
whieh is sent free to every applicant.
1t certainly is worth the cost of a
postal card TO the publisher, John B.

That's the Intention.

A Yankee is considered the sharp
est of the human family, and only the
Irishman can get the better of him.
The wit of the latter is more forcible
and more unique and spontaneous
than the formers plainess and direct
ness of speech. AS an example an
Irishman once took a Yankee friend
to church with him on Christmas
day. The music was magnificent and
the decorations gorgeous. On their
way out of church the Irishman asked
the Yankee how he liked the service.
"Why, it just beats the DEVIL" repli-
ed the down easter. THAT'S the in
tintion," dryly remarked the gentle
man from Tipperary. So it is the in
tention of N. X. Fairbank & Co. to
manufacture the finest soaps for gen.
eral household use. Their famous
brands of Lakeside" and "White
Star" soaps are already unequaled.
They emit a rich perfume which,
with other special qualities particular
ularly adapt them for the toilet, the
bath and the laundry. The are just
as represented and are sold at all gro
Gerry stores. Whoever once uses them
will never have the slightest intention
of trying any Other kinds. j.

Two Dangerous Seasons.

Spring and fall are times when so
many people get sick. The changes
in the weather are severe on feeble
persons, and even those naturally
strong are apt, as they say, ''to be
feeling miserable Then they are
lust in condition to be struck down
with some kind of fever. A bottle OF
two of P,uker's Tonic will invigorate
the digestion, put the liver, kidneys
and blood in perfect order, and pre-
vent more serious attacks. Why sut-
fer, and perhaps die, when so simple
medicine will save you! Good for
both sexes and all ages.

Even if Athlophoros-the champion
remedy for rheumatism and neuralgia
produced no other effect than CIV
ing speedy relief to pain, reducing
swelling, and limbering stiffened
joints and muscles, it would still out
rank all ordinary remedies. But it
does vastly more. 1t goes for the
causes of these pains and swellings,
which it finds in the blood and de-
stroys them. The acidulous poisons
expelled from the blood and the sys-
tenn, healthy and natural circulation
restored, the work of Athlophoros is
done and the sufferer is well.

of my sleigh, prevented me yesterday
from attending the railroad meeting at Ell
Paso. / deeply regret the occurrence not
only on account of the disappointment of
those who attended the meeting but be-
cause of the unfavorable differences that

absence of any representative of the Com
pany Will you be kind enough to, in
some way, notify some of the citizens OF
that town of the reason for my failure to
be present.
No definite proposition asking for aid
from Ell Paso would have been submitted
at that meeting any way; nor will any
such proposition be submitted by our
Company at any future time, until it
becomes reasonably certain that those
already filed in the towns of Rock Elm,
Gilman and Martell will be accepted by
those towns, as the location of our line
by the way of Olivet is dependent upon
their action on those propositions. OF
course if we run by Spring Valley and

aid from Ell Paso, for we shall not need it.
