In q recent letter to the manufacture
ers Mr.. W. T. Benjamin, editor of the
Spectator, Rushford, n. Y, SAYS: at
may be pleasure to you to know the
high esteem in which Chamberlain's
medicines are held by the people of
your own state, where they must be
best known. An aunt of mine, who
resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to
visit me few years since, and before
leaving home wrote me, asking if they
were sold here, stating if they were not
she would bring quantity with her, as
she did not like to be without them.
Tie medicines referred to are Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its
cures Of colds and Group; Chamber
lain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame
back, pains in the side and chest, and
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhPa Remedy for bowel complaints.
These medicines have been in constant
use in Iowa for almost quarter of a
century. The people have learned that
they are articles of merit, and I'M
equaled by any other. They are for
sale here by F. L. Steib & Co. Sept.

Going to School.

The State University at Madison opens
this year on Wednesday next, Septem-
ber 30th. AS in preceding years, the
twin cities will have a nice representa-
ton of young people at that higher in
stitution of learning; few OF them have
already departed for the study grounds
and others will follow within the next
few days. The list known to us is Oscar
Bandelin, Miss Carrie Briere, Freshman
year; Misses Ruth Witter, Mable Gard
ner, Nellie Nash: Messrs. Guy Nash,
John Jeffry, Oscar Winger, Theo. W.
Brazeau, Frank Compton; w. E. Wheel
an and Will j. Conway, Law school.
Mr.. Frank Pomainville leaves very
soon 60 continue his studies at Rush
Medical college and he will be accom-
panied by his brother Chas. Pomain-
vile who will enter the Chicago Dental
college. To all the students we wish
most profitable seasons of advancement
and knowledge gathering. All good
things come TO those who work.

Condition of Trade.

There is still no distinct improvement
in business, although conditions favor
it. Confidence slowly rises, speculative
buying of materials for future use con-
tinues, imports of gold do not cease, and
the Bank of England has not tried to
check them by further advance in rates,
as the weight of the demand now falls
upon France. But al enormous bust
ness is held back until the future is
more clear. Names great majority had
no such influence as many anticipated
from a verdict less emphatic. To many
minds, nothing an eastern state can do
in contest represented as sectional
gives sufficient assurance how the west
ern and southern states may decide. AS
usual when an upward impulse in stocks
is expected, haste to realize caused de-
cline, which has averaged 81 cents per
share for railroads, and 81 cents for trust
stocks, and the men who most desired
to buy were the last to interrupt the
selling. Outside of speculative markets
the impression grows that certain and
safe revival may not be expected until
ovember.-Dunn's Review.

FOOT BALL.

The wave of foot ball enthusiasm has
reached CentralIa High school students
and an eleven was organized this week
with Ebert Kellogg as captain. A new
ball was received recently and practice
work has been entered in earnest.
Some excellent players have already
been developed and the team has been
selected as follows:
Full back, Geo. Houston; half-backs,
Fred LaBrot, Earl Ridgman; quarter,
Lawrence Nash; ends, Harry Whittle-
sey, Oscar BandeIin; tackles, Adalon
Clairmont, Holtrich Lemke; guards,
Alfred Sweat, Walter Denis; center,
Ebert Kellogg.
Among other promising candidates
are Frank Kellner, Joe Pyruse, Ben
Smart and Joe Lucier, all four of whom
will probably act as subs and play on
the team more or less.
A game has been arranged between
high schools Of Grand Rapids and Cen
tralia for Saturday next at 800 p. m.
The teams are both in need of funds to
start the season right and so this contest,
1t is hoped, will be largely attended to
give them a substantial benefit. Re-
member the foot ball game at the Fair
Grounds Saturday next, September 26.

A Dedication.

The dedicatory services at Biron
school house Sunday last were we'll at
| tended. In addition to an interesting
address by Mr.. j. A. Gaynor, a few APP
propriate remarks were made by ex-
County Supt. Edward Lynch, and by
our present Supt. of School r. A Hav-
enor. All the tax payers of District No.
l and number of people from our cities
were in the audience. Mr.. o. Roche
leau, clerk of the district, acted as
Master Of ceremonies. AS has been
mentioned before, the new school house
is neat one. There are reasons to be-
Ileve and perhaps even to hope, how
ever, that the new building will in
the near future prove too small for the
population it will be called upon to ac-
commodate. The large mill industry
that has started there is bound soon to
increase materially the residents of that
settlement. A flag staff was erected in
front of the school house from which
the school flag floats. They also hung
a bell in the belfry which has an unus-
ually fine tone. The entire services
were pleasing.
The last assessed valuation of this
district was not sufficient to authorize
them to borrow enough money from the
state to build the school house. But
Mr.. J. w. Cameron, one of the parties
interested in the mill, generously loaned
them an amount sufficient to complete
the building and now they have pretty
place to continue the intellectual ad-
vancement of young America.

Will Be Accepted.

The new stone crusher has been set
up in working order the past week and
an official test of its powers was made
Yesterday afternoon. The committee
on stone crusher which consisted of
Mayor Baker, Aldermen Nash and c..
H. Nilsson were we'll satisfied with the
test and approval of the work done.
The Common Council will in all proba-
bility accept and close the contract for
the purpose of same at its next meet
ing. The capacity of the machine is to
crush Y tons of rock per hour or about
10 cords per day. Itmet every require
ment claimed for it by the makers and
attracted a large crowd who were in
terested in its mechanism. The big
pieces of hard granite river rock and
nigger-head fints were chewed up by
this monster squeezer with all the ease
of a hungry man at hot biscuit. 1t
takes a ten-horse power engine to fur
nish motion. Work on the streets has
not yet commenced However, the
streets will be of an excellent and
durable quality as the supply of rock to
be used is especially hard and of the
kinds above mentioned. The city has
also contracted for the purchase of
same at much less per cord than it is
costing some Of our neighboring towns
for an inferior grade of stone. Now
let's see the good work move on.
