COLONEL PARKER, who has been to
Cuba, to spy out the land, says "U. S.
Consul Magyar al Cienfuegos denied that
there was much suffering there and
seemed to be in sympathy with the
Spaniards." When a man is unpreju
diced, disinterested and fair, just and
well-informed on the Caban question,
he is said, by the jingoes and their
dupes. to be Gin sympathy with the
Spaniards," but that they do so is per.
fectly natural, and, therefore, is not at
all surprising.

ICOAlAlUNICATED

A cheap and eflicacious remedy for
the determination of vermin on
vines, plants and trees is as follows ::
After coal ashes have been run through
an ordinary sitter, run them through a
very fine sitter, thus Kidding them of all
the small pieces of coal. In the morn
ing. when the dew is on the leaves,
throw the ashes up under them. In the
evening sprinkle the plants or vines
with water and then throw the ashes
on them. If this course is followed it
will be found that it will not only be a
harmless, but an effective remedy for
Kidding the plants, etc, of the pests
that infest them. y.

Not For EVERYTHING,

But if you have kidney, liver OF blad-
der trouble you will find Swamp Root
just the remedy you need. People are
not apt to get anNiousabout their health
soon enough. If you are not quite
well or "half sick J" have you ever
thought that you ever thought that
your kidneys may be the cause of yyur
sickness? 1t is easy to tell by setting
aside your urine for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition ofthe kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate, scanty supply pain or dull ache
in the back is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder need doctoring
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy, DR.. kilmer's swamp
Root, fultills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urine troubles. Not only
does Swamp-Root give new life and ac-
tivity to the kidneys-the cause of
trouble, but by treating the kidneys it
acts as q tonic for the entire constitu-
ton. Ifyou need a medicine you should
have the best. Sold bydruggists, price
fifty cents and one dollar per bottle.
Mention the Audubon County Journal
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghampton, N. Y. The propri-
etor OF this paper guarantees the genu-
ineness of this offer.

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

From the Fairhaven, n. V, Register.
Mr.. James Rowland, of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife had been sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in such
pain that she was nearly crazy. She
sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but
he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
stefan he went to the store and secured
a bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of the purchase at first, but neverthe-
less applied the Balm thoroughly and
in an hours time was able to 60 to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or a pain and always finds that
it gives relief. He says that no medi-
cine which she has ever used did her so
much good. The % and soc sizes for

Hawks-Walker Nuptials.

One of the happiest events of the sea-
son was the marriage of Miss Olive
M. Walker, of this city, to Mr.. Ralph d.
Hawks, which took place at the Con-
gregational church, if Extra, Iowa, on
Thursday evening, February 10, 1898,
at 1880 o'clock. The church, under the
hands of Mesdames Gray, Ed. Della
hoyde, Voorhees, and Wissler, never
was more beautifully decorated. A
large wedding bell was suspended from
the ceiling just over the place where
the bridal party stood. The rostrum was
overhung with ropes of ground pine
The back part of the rostrum was filled
up with palms and other floral decora-
tions which, under the light of the
large lamps with pink shades, made a
most beautiful and pleasing effect.
Promptly at o'clock the pastor, Rev.
III. L. Wissler, and Mrs. w. A. Ham,
Ter, as pianist, marched down the aisle
and took their respective stations. AS
the beautiful strains of the wedding
march rang out, the wedding party be-
gan to move. At the head of the col
umn came six ladies, Misses Rachel
Bodey, Anna Braun, Verna Croy,
Lottie Bennett, Louie WEIGH and
Mary Gault, all in white attire and
wearing pink carnations. Then came
the ushers, Messrs. Frank Sturgeon
and George Anders and took their sta
tions to the right and left of the altar.
Following these came the brides
maids, Misses Mollie Delahoyde and
Zeta Osborn, and the maid of honor,
supporting the bride. Then came the
groomsmen, Messrs. Slavery, Reinig,
and Wood, the best man, supporting
groom. The bridal party formed at
the altar, in "V" shape, facing the
GENRE, and were met by the position
just as each reached their respective
stations when the ceremony began
that made Mr.. Ralph d. Hawks
and Miss Olive M. Walker one.
Immediately after the ceremony a
flash light picture was taken when the
bridal party with their many friends
returned to the Walker home where
refreshments were served and gen.
eral good time was enjoyed by all
The bride was beautifully attired in
white satin en- train with beautiful veil
reaching to the floor and held in her
| left hand q bouquet of bridal roses.

dress of nasturtium yellow silk deco
lete and carried pink roses. Miss Os-
born was attired in cerise silk null
decolete and also carried pink roses.

in conventional black. We cannot
give the list of names of those present
but there was a goodly number OF
friends present of both bride and
groom. The presents We're many and
