A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a severe cold that caused
him to be in a most miserable condi-
tion. 1t was undoubtedly bad case
of la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps to
bring about speedy cure. From
the advertisement of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and the many good
recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make first trial of
the medicine. To say that it was sat
isfactory in its results, is putting it
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hesi-
fancy in recommending this excellent
Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted
with a cough or cold in any FORM

Snch soft. halmv davs as have SIGNAL

Such soft, balmy days as have signal
lied this second week OF October,
belong rather TO the fresh season of
May than to the sultry time of
Autumn. We appreciate the sun
shine and the crisp air, on that
account, so much the more. The
smoke OF Indian Summer seems TO
have gone on frolic With the yellow
leaf, and quite forgotten TO come
back. To be sure darkness falls early,

A large company Of people thronged
the Congregational church last even
ing to hear the address, of Mrs. Lucre-
tia Treat, principal Vt the Grand
Rapids kindergarten. Her message is
plea for the positive education of
children She acknowledges Froebel
as her master, and advocates his idea
OF drawing out and developing the
good in child's nature rather than
depressing the evil. It is a doctrine
of do; rather than OF don't" She
emphasized the supreme Importance
of the child's education and gave the
testimony Of such great educators as
Stanley Hall and President Eliot to
confirm the idea. Sequence and logi-
cal method should characterize the
training of the child's intelligence
from the moment he manifests the
least perception. Above all, the edu-
cation of a child should be a bright
and happy, not a lugubrious, thing.
The child should have partnership
and constant management. Disci-
pline, said the speaker, is the correc-
tion or Strengthening out of difficulty;
management is the prevention of that
difficulty. How many teachers, how
many mothers, are disciplinarians
rather than managers? To conclude,
Mrs. Treat gave number of interest
ing instances connected with her own
experience in kindergarten work, to
show the immense advantage of the
positive over the negative education.
Her address throughout was full of
new ideas and happy suggestions. To
many it opens up new field for
philosophy and practice. The audi
ence listened with absorbing interest
and would hail with pleasure another
evening in Mrs. Treats engaging
presence

The coinage of silver dollars is going
on steadily at the U. S. minis at
about the rate of a million and half
a month. Ten millions of silver dol
lars were minted the first seven
months of the present year. But no
silver orator will admit this unless
driven to it, And he will not admit
either, if he can helpit, that silver is
redeemable in gold, yet Secretary
Carlisle says that he stands ready to
exchange money of any metal for the
other at their nominal value at the
option of the one asking it. The fact
is the Bryan side of this campaign is
being run very largely on deception,

The foot ball game between the
New Richmond and our Normal
eleven, which was scheduled TO occur
last Saturday afternoon in this city,
came off at the appointed time and,
as the New Richmond Voice has it,
it was more of smuggling match than
foot ball game, but, unlike the one
sided report of the above paper, the
opposing teams were about evenly
matched in brutality, with strength
and weight in favor of the Normal
boys. The Voice says that some of
the Normals boosted at the outset
that they would ''lay some one out be-
fore the game was finished" This
may be true, but one, at least, of the
visitors made the same remark and
was himself used up in the first half
and became only San innocent by
Stander" during the remainder of the
game. The game was clearly won on
its merits and our home team was as
badly treated as were the Richmond
ties. New Richmondwon the toss and
chose the northeast goal and the ball
was put in play by Grimm of the Nor
mails. The game in detail we shall not
give, but at the end of the first half
Us minutes) the Normals had scored
three touchdOwns and one goal, max
the score IA too. After tie custom
airy rest, giving the contestants an OPP
portunity to recover breath and bind
up wounds, the second half was
started by Epley for New Richmond,
and again the ball was carried toward
the visitors goal and was four times
carried over their line for touchdowns
ere the final goal was kicked, as the
drilling rain, in which the game was
played, made the ball slippery and ex-
ceedingly hard to handle. At the end
of this half-and the game-the score
was % to i'm Normal favor. We adj
nit the game abounded in foul and
brutal plays, but neither side has any
just claims to make in this regard, as
both INDUCED in Knockout playing.
