A Good Medicine Which Every Family
Should be Provided With,

There is no medicine so often needed
in every household as q good reliable
liniment such as Chamberlain's Pain
Balm Hardly week passes but some
member OF the family has need Of it
for some ailmcnt. A toothacbe or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia Quoted.
The severe pain of burn or scald
promptly relieved, and the sore healed
in much less time than when medicine
has to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before Inflammation
sets in, which insures cure in about
one third of the time otherwise re-
quired. Cuts and bruises should re-
parts become swoolen, which can only
be done when the Pain Balm is kept on
hand. A sore throat may be cured be-
fore it becomes serious A trouble
some corn may be removed by apply
ing it twice day for week or two.
Quinsey and glandular swcllings may
be suppressed before matter has begun
to form in them Boils are often the
result of an injury and may be prevent
ed by timely treatment. A lame back
may be cured and several days of valu-
able time saved. A pain in the side or
chest relieved without paying doctor
bill. When SO much pain and suffering
may be saved by the trivial outlay of
fifty cents, il is certainly surprising that
any family would do without such q
remedy. The fact Is. few Of those who
have used Chamberiain's Pain Balm arc
willing TO be without it.
A Kansas City travelling man says
Chamherlain's Pain Balm enables him
TO earn 81, 200 per year. II cured him
Of neuralgia with which he had been an
almost constant sufferer.
A. H Elliott of South Cedar Kansas,
says: My father who lives near me
was thrown from buggy, and nearly
killed. Chamberlain Pain Balm saved
his life
Mr.. VIM. Westlakc, 3 prominent
farmer aud stockralser near Ayoca,
Neb.. was SO badly injured by being
thrown from a sulky, that he could not
raise his hand to his head, by using
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, he entirely
recovered the use of his arm in two
weeks time, which enabled him to ex.
hibit his stud OF horses at the fair and
they took the first premium.
L. u. Birmingham of New Boston
ILL.,, Sprained his back SO badly that he
could not cut of stick Of wood
Chamberlain's Pain Balm cured him II
one day.

o. R. Spencer, of this city, met
with a severe accident, on the Fair
grounds, here last Saturday after
noon. Mr.. Spencer entered horse
in the novelty race, which he rode
himself, and while on the last half
mile stretch, it being the running
part of the race, his horse stumbled
and fell when about half way round
the track, throwing Mr.. Spencer over
his head and rolling completely
over him. Mr.. S. was picked up
in an insensible condition and car
ried home, and it was first thought
that he was dead, but after awhile
he was brought to consciousness
and it was discovered that he was
very badly injured about the head,
and slight hopes were then enter
tanned of his recovery. At this
writing, however Mr.. Spencer is
improving very rapidly, and he
will soon be all right, and every
one feels a profound thankfulness
that the accident was no worse.

The musical recital given by Miss
Mary Hines, and pupils, at the
Opera House, on last Friday ev-
ening, was one of the most pleas
ant and enjoyable occasions of the
season. Miss Hines class partici-
pating in the entertainment num-
bered about fifteen, and it has sell
dom been our good fortune to listen
to finer music. The selections
seemed to have been made with re-
ference to bringing out the best
talent of each Of the pupils, and it
is difficult for us to particularizs
and make mention of any one spe-
cially, without doing injustice to the
others. However, we cannot re-
frain from singing out a few selec-
tons that we thought were extra
fine, among them being a beautiful
song by Miss Maggie Dyer, "When
the leaves begin to fade" Miss
Dyer has a clear sweet voice and she
sung charningly. Also the song,
FAIRY Footsteps" by Josie Smythe.
Miss Josie has a voice like fairy,
and her singing was superb. The
instrumental piece, "Nearer my
God to Thee" with variations, by
Miss Oracle Ringsrud, showed re-
markable musical talent in one so
young. Miss Oracle is q graceful
and accomplished performer on the
piano. Miss Dora Schumacher
German song, "Wie Bist Du So
Schon," disclosed voice as sweet
and charming as a birds, although
we could mix fer stay" the words.
The selection by Miss Addie Bryan
of Bonnie Sweet Bessie" was ex-
cellently rendered and showed that
that young lady is destined to make
| q musician Of rare abilities. We
might 60 on through the whole pro.
gram and note some special excel
lence in each number, but our space
forbids. Suffice it to say that The
large gathering Of the friends o.
Miss Hines were highly pleased 4,
