500 Reward. 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that Is catarrh. Halls Catarih Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
q constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have 80
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer n hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address f. j. Cheney

The Deaderick Bridge.

All the iron was put in place last Sat.
urday, and as soon as the floor is laid
and rivets and bolts frightened it will
be open for traffic, that is IL the ap-
proaches are finished. The work Of
making the approaches should have
been done before now, so that no delay
would occur after the iron work was
completed and floor laid. Bad weather
may set in at any time, and that will
interfere with road making. The peo-
pie beyond the river will be glad indeed
to see the bridge opened to travel.

For five weeks I lived on cold water,
30 to speak," writes a man who suf.
fered terribly from indigestion, He
could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed wasn't properly
digested and gave him terrible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dys.
peptics don't get enough n%ourishment.
They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much of what they
eat turns into poison. If this keeps on
there's no telling what disease they
may get next That's why it is best to
take Shaker Digestive Cordial, as soon
as symptoms of indigestion appear. 1t
cures all the evils of indigestion and
prevents the evils which indigestion
causes. Sold by druggists, price ten
cents to 81 per bottle.

WhitehOrn-Tittle

On last Monday it became current on
the street that Tom Whitehorn, famil-
iarly known as "Friday," had been mar
ried to Miss Lula Title, on Chucky
River. If anybody needed a wife it was
Tom, because he has had no one to take
care of him since his mother was killed
a few years ago. Tom has had hard
work to keep soul and body together
since then, and it will be a relief to the
general public to know that Tom has
some one to take care Of him through
the winter. We learn that the girl is q
nice young girl of about eighteen sum-
mers, which is rather young for one to
assume such a responsibility.

'sCoot.''

'Coot' is sometimes applied inoffensively as
when q woman exclaimed: ''You dear, darling
old coot" when her husband told her how he
had trusted in political friends and had been
''done up by them. Here was sympathy and
contempt blended in terms of endearment and
pity. We have heard mothers call their babies
"dear little coots," and the other day we heard
a man speak of another as id old coot!'
He was speaking Of the editor-in-chief of the
Sioux Valley News, whose digestion has gone
back on him since he swallowed Crawford.
The person spoken Of proved that Nash had a
clear title to everlasting "coothood," by show
ing that less than four months ago, the News
declared that free silver was dead" and that
It's champion had no followers among the
people, and when it turned out that over six
millions Of votes were cast for free silver in
the United States, the News editorially pro-
claimed that free coinage of silver l6 to l, got
a black eye in the election 1t strikes the
writer that springng from political corpse,
according to Nash, to cause having six and a
half million of votes, in four months, was not
getting 'black eye in the sense of Nashian
slang, to any great extent, and the man who
sees it in that light is a 'coot' Of the very
latest type. ANARCHIST.
