1t 10 quite impossible for US to speak
knowingly of the merits of the various
articles Of merchandise advertised. But
there are exceptions occasionallyand a
note worthy exception il the celebrated
Chamberlain's cough remedy. This
now universally known medicine has
been advertised in the Graphic for four
lor five years, but not until recently had
we any personal knowledge Of its won.

through the prevailing influenza and
the stubborn cough that has so often
attended it. In the writer's family
this medicine has on several occasions

number of families in Kimball aud vi

gists.
Messrs. Burton and McBurney have
abandoned their attempt to raise funds
for a butter and cheese factory here,
having found our people reluctant to
take hold of 1t. One reason for this re.
luctance was the very general fear
that such q factory could not be made
a success So many creameries have
failed in Kansas and so few have sue
ceeded. Another reason, and the
main one, was the feeling among our
business men that all our energies aud
all our surplus capital should be de.
voted now to the development Of our
marble Quarries. Zone thing at q
time" is q pretty good rule and lola
does well to observe 1t. When our
marble gets on the market 1t will be
time enough to talk about turning up
something else.
The REGISTER has already express.
ed its hearty approval Of the mutual
insurance scheme proposed by the F.
NJ. B. A, and 1t Is more eanguine than
ever Of its success, now that so good
business man as &. J. Stewart has
been placed at the head Of it. Farm
losses by fire are very few, and yet no
careful farmer dares 60 without insur-
ance for fear of what might happen.
The result is that thousands of dollars
are sent out Of the county every year
that might just as well be kept at
home. The farmers can insure one
another great deal cheaper than they
can hire themselves insured by for.
eign companies. 1t is q move in the
right direction and we shall be glad to
see it succeed
CAPTAIN w. T.. Couch died Monday
on his claim near Oklahoma City, of
blood poisoning, which resulted from
q wound he received some weeks ago
at the hands of c. w. Adams during
quarrel about the land upon which |
Courh was living Capt. Couch was
one of the original Oklahoma boomers |
aud devoted the last ten years Of his
life to the work of opening that Terri |
tory. 1t is another instance of the
irony Of fate that the event which |
was the fultilment Of all his hopes,
brought with it his death.
Capt. Slower hands US letter from
Col. A. p. Forsyth, Of Montgomery,

very glad to make this announcement,

glad to see him again.
