Last summer one of our grand children
was sick with severe bowel trouble.
Our DOCTORS remedies had failed, then we
tried Ohamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints.-Mrs E. g. Gregory,
Frederickstown, Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the market
for dysentery, summer complaint, colo
and cholera infantum in children. It
never fails to give prompt relief when
used In reasonable time and the plain
printed directions are followed. Many
mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

had occasion to make a handle for a

work, sitting on log when hunter
came up the road and ''cut looseD at
him with repeater, shooting seven

whether or not any damage had been
done. Only his lack of craftsmanship

Il. G, Head, the Republican candi-
date from Mile Laos county for the
legislature, was in the city from Satur-
day till Monday noon. He had been
in Crow Wing county and parts of
Todd county, and everywhere found
the Republican party in excellent con-
dition with good prospects. He re-
CARDS the outlook as excellent for the
Legislative ticket in this district, and
the conditions certainly justify him
in being hopeful. Not for many years
have the chances for success been so
favorable to the ticket in this district.
Mr.. Head is not as well known as the
others on the ticket, Messrs. Ferris.
Jones and Hartshorn, but he is popular
where he is known, and deserves the
