HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.

SOME READING THAT WILL. PROVE
INTERESTING TO YOUNG MOTHERS.
WHY TO GUARD AGAINST THE DIS
EASE.
Group is a terror to young
mothers and to post them coucern
ing the cause, first symptoms and
treatment is the object of this
item. Tho origin of Group is a
common cold. Children who are
subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow.
The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily
recognized and will never be for
gotten by one who has heard it.
The time to act is when the child
first becomes hoarse. If Chamber
laip's Cough Remedy is freely
given all tendency to Group will
soon disappear. Even after the
croupy cough has developed it
will prevent the attack. There is
no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious.

the act as he well knows that by
keeping the commandments of
God as taught by this people
would lead US into the presence of

though it was rare thing 30 years
ago to find a man who did not be-
lieve in the Bible, yet they knew
not the ways of the Lord. AL
though some considerslthat they
are responsible to no one for their
acts, but at the same time there
are many who reverence the. SUI

as the giver of all good, and still
they have no knowledge of God
nor of the plan of salvation nor
of his Holy Priesthood as has been
restored to the earth in this our
own day, according to the proph-
ecies that were delivered many
years ago. Yet we know that such
men as John Wesley and others
have done much good to mankind
and have sought with all their
might to benefit their fellow man,
but we know that God has restored
the gospel in it's fullness for the
salvation of all that will obey the

God has promised to give his

THE LIGHTS WENT OUT.
A Runaway Team Knocks
Down an Arc Light, and an
Armature iS~Burned
Out.

On Saturday evening about .
O'Clock team being driven byja Po-
lander ran away on First street,
and the rig struck the arc light pole
at the Hotel. buchanan &C rner,
knocked the little windlass OF the
pole and allowed the arc lamp to
fal. to the ground. The lamp was
broken, and the arc wires came In
contact with the earth. A ''ground''
was formed and the result was the
burning out of the armature ana
one of the fields of the dynamo.
All the arc lights in the city were
put out. Saturday night and Sun
day the employees of the company re-
wound the field and placed another
armature in the dynamo, and the
lights were turned on again Sunday
night. The broken lamp at the
Hotel Buchanan corner was not re-
placed until Monday, as the lineman
was sick Sunday, and the other men
barely had time to get the dynamo
in shane in time for the lights in The
evening.
This is the first winter turnout
the company has suffered, although
a number of the accidents have hap
pened in the summer curing the
thunder storms. The armature will
be sent to st. Paul for winding.

Reforms Accomplished BY Woman's MI.
nicipal Committee.
The women Of Quincy, Ills. are not
very active in clamoring for woman
suffrage, but in working for the inter-
ests Of their town they are up and do
ing. They have organized society
called the Woman's council, which
meets once month, and it has accom-.
plished great many reforms. The club
has several committees, but the most i'm
portant one is the municipal committee,
and this committee is busi]y employed
in making Quincy more desirable
place of residence than it is. It is sort
Of vigilance committee to observe the
breakers of city laws; its members can
cause the arrest Of persons violating
street ordinances. The small boy who
throws banana skins recklessly about,
the man who losses newspapers into the
gutter, the woman who filings parcel
wrappings recklessly about, all have the
keen eyed and stern minded municipal
committee to reckon with. }...
The committee has purchased street
waste baskets for the town. 1t has in
formed itself concerning the possibili-
ties Of levying taxes for street sprinkling
purposes. It concerns itself with keep
ing signboards in cop!lition and dis
cusses the perishable h9ture Of wooden
signboards and the expense Of iron ones
with view to reaching some conclusion
which will not leave the wayfarer with
out guide posts. 1t studies the park sys.
tenn and delves into botany in order to
be able to suggest suitable trees for the
city parks. Altogether it is valuable

FOR GRAND LARCENY.
The Charge on Which !. F.
Scullin was Arrested Satur-
day Afternoon.

Sheriff D. r. Bowen, Of Blue Earth
county, arrived in the city sunday
night from Mankat" and returned
on the Monday morning train, Win
7. r. Scullin, the man Who was ar
rested by Sheriff Rider in this city
Saturday, on a telegram from Sheriff
Bowen. =.
" rhe charge ON which Sculltn was
arrested was grand larceny in the
first degree. Mr.. Scullin's expiana-
ton of the affair il that he was at
one time town treasurer OF one OF
the towns of that county, and DUR
ing an absence from that place the
town board declared bis Office
vacant and appointed successor
When he returned to the place. ne
claims that one evening he was on
his way with the funds of the town
in his possession to turn them over
to his successor. and was held up ny
masked men and the whole amount,
about $500, was taken from him.
Sheriff Bowen, however,, tells a
somewhat different story. he says
that Scullin was for abOutf0ur years
town treasurer, and always kept the
funds. OF which he had charge as
such official, in a bank and all dis
bursements from the said funds were
made by Mr.. ScuIlin giving a cheek
for the same |On that bunk, Some
time lasc year Mr.. Scullin disposed
of Il farm which he owned there ana
the amount he received fOr.it above
all claims was $500. Shortly after
the sale of the farm Mr.. Scullln
bought a territory right to patent
washing machine and paid in cash,
it is said, $1,000 for it. He afterwards
went to CrookstOn and it was with
difficulty that he was brought back
to make Il settlement with the au-
thorities of the funds in his hands.
and when he did return he gave them
the hold-up story, which was not
very generally accepted as true "a
PLANTATION for the disappearance OF
the town funds. Mr.. Bowen SAID
that while the robbery story Is pos
sible, the people, generally believe
that the money was used In pur-
chasing the patent right. which
perhaps, did not prove as profitable
as expected when purchased. Mr..
Bowen also says that the amount OF
Scullin's deficiency is about $7OO.
Mr.. Scullin has been in 'bis CITY since
last Monday, and is in company
with gentleman named Miner, who
has a patent. washing machine, for
which they are selling territory
rights

The "Great Secret"


There was man, knew him well,
He owned little store,
And he would have to stock it up
Three times year or more.
And when I'd take the paper up
would be sure to see
His name and business well displayed,
AS names and trades should be.
He had to build larger store,
For wider grew his fame,
Just like his trade. for unto him
The buying public came.
His rival said that trade was "dull,"
And looked in sore distress
And wondered if he let them know
The ''secret Of success"
He was the kindest hearted man
We had in all the town,
His genial face was like sun
It never wore frown.
He met his rivals at the door
And took them by the hand;
He showed them through crowded store
They couldn't understand.
1--WE handle all the goods you do"
The startled spokesman said;
"But trade has drifted down to you;
With us tits nearly dead"
"Impart the secret Of your trade"
The merchant smiled, 81 think
The anchor of the business man
Is labeled printers ink"
.
The genial merchant hath retired,
The richest man, I think;
He doth ascribe his fortune to
Trades anchor, printers ink.

ENTERPRISE AND PLUCK.
what Few Mon Can Accomplish When
Actuats1 BY the Right Spirit.

Whist Few Mem Can Accomplish When
Actuatea BY the Right Spirit.
AS IN example Of what can be done
when the proper spirit Of enterprise is
shown the town Of Alliance, Neb.. is
good example. While such progress is
not uncommon in the west, the results
are only obtained by hard work and
united effort on the part Of the citizens.
Three years ago few people, even in Ne
braska, had ever heard of Alliance,
while today it is generally regarded as
the coming city in the western part OF
the state. 'a q"
Alliance is situated near the southern
border of the territory lying adjacent
to the great cattle, coal and oil interests
of Wyoming. 1t was founded Feb. 70.
1883, aid grew so rapidly that eight
weeks later over $50 buildings Of various
descriptions had been erected, and IN
fact the spirit of enterprise, which made
9ossible such wonderful results, has ever
-apce been the characteristic of the
queen City Of the West. Today her pop
ulation is estimated at $500, and more
than a dozen fine residences are now be-
ing erected. It is handsomely and at
tractively laid out city.
Alliance, in its phenomenal growth,
has not lost sight Of the necessity OF
making provisions for those greatest OF
all civilizing and refining Influences
religion and education. All religious de-
nominations have costly buildings, large
congregations and are in flourishing con-
dition. The public schools are presided
over by an able corps Of teachers and
are perhaps as finely conducted as any
schools in the state. ..~.
From social standpoint it is a par
ticularly pleasant place to live. The
people are refined and intelligent. Many
Of them came from the far east, and, al
though a few short years ago this town
possessed all the characteristics of
wild and woolly frontier town, today it
retains none Of the Objectionable fea-
lures, and it is safe to predict great
future for it at no distant day.

Pursued by a Demon.

How many suicides, think yoN,
reader, have been committed by
persons driven distraught and
hunted to their doom by the demon
of chronic i'll health? Countless. For
instance, we know, do we not, that
hypochondriasis is a monomania-a
sort of minor madness produced by
chronic dyspepsia? Again, insomnia,
or sleeplessness, often a result of
the same cause, eliminates in a
arrangement of the reasoning
faculties. 1t is, therefore, of
momentous consequence to prevent
the arrival of disease at its chronic
phase, when it daily and nightly
scourges the sufferer to danger
ously uncertain goal. No medicine
known to science, as means OF
arresting the maladies to which it is
adapted, exists equal to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Among these
complaints are chronic Indigestion
and insomnia, kidney and rheumatic
ailments, constipation and liver
trouble. Appetite is improved by
the Bitters, the blood tertilized,
and bodily substance and vigor IN
creased by it.
