Cough Syrup relieved four OF my children
of most alarming attack Of whooDing
cough, from which their throals and
nccks became SO swollen as to prevent
them from swallowing. Nothing would
give even temporary relief, until this
! Syrup was tried. One bottle, in one
night, saved their lives, verify believe.

The increasing age of Minnesota as a
state is shown in the character of her
legislatures. Up to the legislature of
1883 there had never been a member of
the body whose birthplace was in Mime
sofa. The statistical tables disclosed a
thoroughly cosmopolitan body so far as
the nativity Of it's members was indie
alive. In the twenty-third legislature
there were two native-born members
Mr. Dcmeules of Sank Rapids and Mr..
Thompson of Fillmore-both young men
then, aged respectively twenty eight and
twenty-five. In the present Legislature
Mr.. Thompson, who is returned, has five
companion Minnesotians, namely-Mr.
Becker, aged ~; Mr.. d. Downs, aged g.
Mr. Hendrickson, aged 81; Mr.. Simpson,
aged q, and Mr.. Warner, aged 90
