A Wonder Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, young man of
Burlington, o., states that he had been
under the care of two prominent ply
sicians, and used their treatment until
he was not able to get around. They
pronounced his case to be consumption
and incuarble. He was persuaded to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds and at that
time was not able to walk across the
street without resting. He found before
he had used half of dollar bottle, that
he wus much better; he continued to
use it and is to-day enjoying good
health. If you have any throat, lung,
or chest trouble try it. We guarantee
satisfaction. Trial bottle free at G. c..

A baseless and untruthful rumor is rife
about Colfax having been visited one day
this week by a crowd Of hoodlums and
bulldozers, who boldly proclaimed that
they had cut Red Levee, and defied any
body to take it up or attempt to prose-
cute them for it. The report is untrue
in every particular, both as to the citi-
zens Of Colfax, who were in no humor to
put up with any such nonsense, and as
to the good citizens of ward six. The
simple facts are that several citizens of
ward six, learning that they were sup
posed to have aided or instigated the
cutting Of Red Levee, came to Colfax,
unarmed, asserted their innocence OF the
charge, and civilly and earnestly asked
an investigation Of the matter.

Watch His Prediction.

In his forecasts of the weather, w. Il.
Foster, who has been particularly sue
cessful in his predictions of the storms
and floods of this season, foretells of an
average good growing season this sum-
mer, and predicts that the "irst frosts
in the fall will be late, and there will be
an abundance of time for late crops to
mature" If the Professor will prove to
be half as good prophet of summer and
fall weather as he was In the spring, he
will gain the lasting favor of the people
of the Red river valley, who will have to
grow late crops or none at all.
