The Nallard Lumber Go. had
their fires put out that night and
let the furnaces cool down to pre-
vent any possible chance of fire.
However fire was blown from a
field nearby to the sawdust pile
and caused some trouble and un-
easiness.

arrangements to move his ma
chinery from this place to Gour-
dias where he will dig a we'll for

The meeting has not measured up

some good has been done.
We have fine reports from both

Proves Effectual.


There are no better medicines on

instance it proved effectual.
Almost daily We hear the virtue
of Chamberlain's remedy extolled

much a line, but is voluntarily
given in good faith, In the hope that

ONE OF TWO NAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptcle for the urine
and as such it is not liable to any form
Of diseases except by one or two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
Of the kidneys. The second is from
careless local treatment Of other dis
eases.
CHIEF CAUSE
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
trouble. So the womb, like the blad-
Der. was created for one purpose, and
if not doetored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases except in rare
cases. 1t is situated of and very closs
to tile bla9der, therefore any pain,
disease or Inconvenience manifested
in the kidneys, back, bladder. or uni
nary passage is often, by mistake, at
tributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error Is
ensily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours
a sediment or settling indicates kid
ney or bladder trouble. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of Df,
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid
ney, and bladder remedy is soon rea-
Hzed. If you need medicine you
should have the best. At druggists

We had distressing time in
this community last Tuesday. 18th
inst, caused by fire. The wind
was blowing gale and the forest
fires caused much destruction OF
valuable property. Mr.. j W Reg

surrounding grass about one
o'clock, and the fire burnt that
afternoon and night, destroying
about fourteen houses and about
half the fencing between the farm

Free to Teachers and Scholars.

In 1897 we had thousands of re-
quests from teachers and scholars for
Wonderland '97. The edition-a large
one-was exhausted long before the
end of the year. Wonderland '9S can
now not only be supplied to those
unable to secure the former but also
to others. 1t is entirely different
however, from the first named book.
1t has a chapter on The Agriculture
Northwest, crammed full of valuable
information; one on Yellowstone
Park, written especially for teachers
another on Alaska and Klondike,
and one A Canoe Lake Trip, that
will be of interest to schools. The
book has high art cover designed
by Leyendecker, and it is profusely
illustrated from new photographs,
The Northern Pacific Railway will
send the book and a revised folder

The Saturday Call, published al

cent cut representing E. G. Cooley,
who is candidate on the democratic
ticket for superintendent Of schools
for Cook county and the city of Chi
oago. Cresco people will watch the
result with no small degree of interest.
Prof. E. G. Cooley was for several
years principal of the High school at
this place, position he could have re.
tanned with a large advance upon his
salary, but his ambition for increased
opportunities for self culture and i'm
provement caused him to resign, gong
from here to Aurora, Illinois, where
the coveted opportunity for pursuing
his studies in close proximity to the
best educational institutions Of the
west were open to him and available.
That he has thoroughly improved
them we should know from our knowl-
edge of the man and of his studious
habits without the testimony from Chi
cago's leading dailies, copied into the
Call. He is at present superintendent
of the public school at La Grange, a
beautiful suburb Of the city of Chicago

TIE mysterious case Of Miss T. E.
Osborne puzzled not only her friends, but
likewise every one Of the doctors who
attempted to cure her.
For six years she was not able to walk.
Most Of the time she was entirely helpless.
No one knew what allied her.
= Miss Osborne lives at 126 North Seven
tenth Street, Richmond, Ind. Her father,
William Osborne, is one of the best known
horsemen in eastern Indiana.
The Young woman, when called Upon
recently to tell her story, was picture Of
good health. She said:
It came after an attack Of pneumonia,
this mysterious ma1ady of mine. Some
of the doctors said at first it was rheuma-
tism, but all of them gave up in despair
finally, and confessed they were all in the
dark.
"One foot panied me first. The trouble
spread through my entire body, and be-
came totally helpless. l Isuffered great pain.

Prompt PAYMENT,

President Mckinley is prompt in
the discharge of political debts. Fight
ing Joe Wheeler testified in behalf OF
Alger and the administration as to its
prosecution of the war. The next
day after this testimony was given
before the Alger relief commission
sitting as court of investigation,
Gen. Wheeler's son was promoted to
be Major, of ordnance, being jumped
over the heads of upwards of 1000
officer who were ahead of him on the
list. Really the testimony of Joe
Wheel er was worth Brigadier
Genera lship for his son and would
have br ought it had Fighting Joe set
that as the price of his testimony.

then, but my friends insisted on fair trial

III took no other medicine, so that If
any good resulted we could trace It to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Imagine my JOY when change came
about. My muscles relaxed and my suf-
tering was 1essened.
At the end of three months could sit
up, could lift myself up, and was no
longer helped.
"After one years treatment began to
walk, something the doctors had said l
would never do again.
II took the pills for two years In al.
When l began I was helpless as a new
born baby. Now l enjoy good health"
The cure of Miss Osborne created much
talk in Richmond. Great quantities OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pak People
were sold there, and the druggists had re
quent inquiries for "the medxxe that
cured Miss Osborne"
Such cores by DR.. Williams Pink Pi1ls
for Pale People in cases where the local
physicians have exhausted their skill, are Of
daily occurrence in all parts Of the country.
The wonderful power this vegetable rem
edy possesses over the blood and the ner-
vous system makes it perfect cure for a
long list Of diseases, some Of them among
the most terrible that affict humanity.

The candidates put in nomination
Wednesday evening are a credit to
the caucus, that placed them before
the people, and fully worthy of public
support. The purpose of the caucus
was not partisan one, but to give the
people competent and representative
men as candidates. With this object
in view it was but a natural result
that M. M. Moon who for many years,
has served the public to its entire
satisfaction as Justice of the Peace,
should be placed in nomination. As a
running mate with him the caucus did
commendable thing in placing j. L..
Evans, a thoroughly competent man
of good judgment and executive
ability, in nomination. Fdr Constable,
the caucus gave the public two un=
exceptionabte candidates III S. A.
Hamilton and Geo. Breedlove. The
candidate for trustee John Daily is a
thoroughly capable, competent and
honest man, and is entitled to popular
support without regard to partizan
prejudice. The township clerk belong
ing to that portion of the civil town
ship outside the city limits the nomi-
nation was placed outside where it
rightfully belongs. To us 1T seems
absurd that the township clerk should
be taken from outside the civil organ
ization of the people and territory he
is to serve. If he is to be chosen by
the electors outside of Cresco, and for
them, 1t would seem that his residence
should be outside the city, and with
people whose servant he is. These con-
siderations as we'll as mis- fitness and
adoption to the duties of the Office
gave the nomination to g. A. Marshall
Jr.
