OLD AGE.

Elderly people are often
troubled with a dry hacking
cough that is very annoying,
but which they think that they
cannot get rid of. In many in
stances it comes on SO gradual
ly that they are hardly aware
how strong a hold it has until it
shows itself in the increased liza
bility to take cold and in tick
ling of the throat nights. 1t is
this which lays the foundation
of pneumonia and other dis
eases that are so fatal to elderly
people For maladies of this
kind Reid's German Cough and
Kidney is a certain relief and if
taken persistently will effect a
complete cure. 1t stimulates
the organs and relieves the

Reception and Entertainment.
Rev. F. W. Merrill, the new pastor of
the First Methodist church, was given a
reception at that church last evening by
the members of the congregation and
ministers of the different Evangelical
churches of the city. An informal re-
ceptiOn was first in order, after which a
fine programme of vocal music was rem
dered, the fret number being The Cru
ssders Song" by Prof Griffith, after
which Mrs. Woodwork sang "The
Golden Shore" How Many Sail Out
Who Never Sail H." was next rendered
by Prof. GIiffi h, after which Mrs. Wood.
worth sang The Ruby" and the pro.
gramme was closed by Welcome to the
Pastor" sang by quartet composed of
Mrs. J. W. Crandsll. Miss Gertie Will
COX. Prof. Housed and Mr.. Parrett.
At the conclusion of the programme
came an address by Rev. Merrill, in which
he expressed his appreciation of the cor.
dial reception which had been rendered
him, and spoke at some length upon the
relations which should exist between pas.
tor and people. saying that the Rock Isl-
and church had long borne the reputation
of being loyal to their pastor, and in con-
clusion hoped that their mutual relations
would always be so characterized.
He was followed BY Rev n. G. Mar
shall, of the United Presbyterian church,
who, curing his remarks, said that he had
been reared In United Presby teriau at
mosphere. Ee had heard of McIhodists
but did not know what kicd of PEG,
pie they were. but had sfterwatd be-
come acquainted with them, and had
eVea become son.in law TO the church
rs he had married one of the prettiest
Methodist girls in the town in which he
was located.
DR.. Taylor, of the First Baptist hurch,
followed with few remarks in which he
expressed lis friendship for the MetRo-
dist people rs he had been brought up
among them, and had associated with
them more or less.
Rev. Rapp of the German Methodist
church, then spoke briefly of his pleas
ant Relations with his own congregation,
saying in conclusion that he could APP
preciate Rev. Merrill's feelings on being
SO cordially received.
William jackson was then introduced
and he, on behalf of the laity of the
church extended to Rev. Merrill and wife
a hearty welcome. In the course of his
remarks Mr. Jackson said that as he
grew older he seemed to become less of
Methodist and more of Christian be-
cause be- had learned to see that the OBJ
ject of all churches was the salvation of
souls in their own individuals way The
church hsd the reputation OF being loyal
to its pastors in the past and he had no
doubt that it would continue to be so in
the future.
At the conclusion of MI Jackson's re-
marks the congregation sang "Blest be
the Tie That Binds" and Rev Merrill
closed the exercises with prayer.
