And Nothing Going From one End

Gloomy New Years Eve.
Bad Weather in Wheeling.

The weather yesterday was gloomy
and threatening Most of the day it
rained gently, and itgot steadily warmer.
The prospects for q food grew more
threatening every minute, and when
the weather indications came TO hand
they gave real cause for concern. The
slush on the sidewalks and crossings
yesterday was simply awful.
The following dispatch was received
from the Associated Press manager at
Chicago at an early hour last night:
To Az EiiiorS:
The country is hidden in fog and
storms. Wires are worthless and moth
ingls going from one end Of the land to
the other. Many of the markets will be
abandoned and only the most startling
and important news in briefest form will
get through tonight.

VENTILATION.

As the world grows older the
world grows wiser. 1t begins
to see that the lungs are the
real seat Of life. Unless they
perfectly oxygenate the blood,
all the blood purifiers in the
world will do the system no
good. 1t has long been known
that cattle herded too close to-
gether made bad beef and it
was thought that it was owing
to the lack of exercise. This
is now shown to be untrue.
The trouble arises from impure
air. The same animal fed in a
stall by itself in a barn, on pre-
cisely the same food, makes
good beef. Unless the lungs
are in good working order and
perform their functions proper
iy, there is little use in trying
to doctor the stomach. This Is
the special function of Reid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure. 1t stimulates the lungs.
gives tone to the stomach, and
then too, there are no evil
effects. The system rs not
loaded down with the results OF
an opiate, and the cure is OF
such a innocuous nature that it
can be given to children with
the utmost freedom and without
the slightest danger from an
overdose. 1t thus fills all the
conditions of a gaeat family
medicine, alike efficacious ii
old age and in infancy.
1t will cure the most annoy
ing cold and all the results of 6
cold, such as bronchitls
catarrh, pleurisy, lumbago
cough, consumption, pain il
the back, kidney trouble ant
everything of that nature. On
remarkable thing about Reid
German Cough and Kidne.
Cure is that any one who ha
once tried it is always there
after it's firm friend and NO
only believes in it himself, bu
recommends it to his friends.

while Il lasted than house on FIRE. The
run commenced ai soH pounds Of granu-
