RIDGEWAY.

AS nothing from the town of Ridge
way appears in The Democrat, the
writer thinks it about time to let the
world know that the people of this
section are still in existence.
The weather has been more than
favorable of late; and the people have
take advantage of it, in securing their
crops and getting in their winter sup
plies.
Our citizens are again getting down
to ordinary business again, since cleo
ton. Ridgeway, like her sister towns,
feels proud that she did her duty, in
indicating the ballot-in redeeming
the state of Wisconsin from the high
takers, and placing it in the front rank
of progressive democracy.
The funeral of the late Arthur Brew,
a pioneer settler of Waldwick, was
held from st. Bridget's Catholic church
in that town on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
There was a large aSSemblage, and
requieum high mass was celebrated by
Rev. Father O'keefe, assisted by the
choir from st. PaurS Catholic church
of Mineral Point.
Mrs. Mary Smith and little daughter,
from Wyoming, recently visited Mrs.
SIS parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Ryan,
of the town of Waldwick.
Patrick CroSsen returned home from
Montana recently, to visit his relatives
and friends. Mr.. Crossen left here
about five years ago, quite young, to
grow up with the west. The romantic
stories and experiences which he tells
are entertaining, and even startling to
the young folks.
James Ryan, Stauch old democrat,
of Waldwick, has voted for twenty
consecutive governors, and feels very
elated over the last ballot he cast. In
fact he says he feels twenty years
younger.
jeremiah Sullivan, blacksmith, from
Hollandale, spent Sunday at home
with his parents, in Ridgeway, and
returned on Monday, to attend to his

The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in way TO be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated 10y living examples, which
in many cases might easily be done. If
some scholar who had just contracted
a cold was brought before the school,
SO that all could hear the dry, loud
cough and know its significance; See
the thin white coating ON the tongue
and later as the cold developed, see
the profuse watcry eXpectoration and
thin watery discharge from the nose,
not one of them w"uld ever forget
what the first symptoms of severe
cold were The scholar should
then be given Chamber!ain's Cough
Remedy freely, that all might see that
even severe cold could be cured in
one or two days, or at least greatly
mitigated, when properly treated as
soon as the first symptoms appear.
This remedy is famous for its cures of
coughs, cold and Group. 1t is made
especially for these diseases and is the
most prompt and most reliable med

A young girl here had been suffering
for II years with Blood Diseases until
she had lost the use of limbs, and was
subject to many troubles incident to
the disease. TIE physicians declared
her case incurabIe, and predicted that
her life would come to a speedy end.

so fast that is was plain that she had
obtained a new lease on life, and she
has continued to grow better until her
permanent cure is assured. Many

obtained signal benefit from 5. 5. S.
and it has become quite favorite in
our house.

On Monday, Nov. II, an eighteen

Belmont, met with a painful, and per
hapS fatal, accident 1t secured a
piece of a prune shell which was in
some way taken into the Windpipe in
such a manner that natures eXpedient,
coughing, failed to eXpel it. The par
ticle was SO small that at first the
trouble was not very serious, but as
the child grew worse, on the Friday
following the accident it was brought
to this city for treatment When the
child arrived here the irritation had
become 50 great and the air passages
were so innamed that it breathed only
with the greatest difficulty and was in
immediate danger of choking to death
Owing to this condition no operation
for the removal of the particle was at
that time possible and the only aItern-
alive was to insert a silver breathing
tube for temporary relief. This deli
cate operation was successfully per
formed by Doctors Huntington, Peek
and Blair by dissecting the tissues away
from the Windpipe, below the larynX.
The tube was then inserted and since
that time the condition of the little
sufferer has greatly improved. The
Inflammation is Subsidng and the
physicians hope ere long to be able to
perform the operation of removing the
