these, sittings in halls, school
houses, ETC., used as places of pub

2,450, s5S, and there is actually pro-

worship for population of 65,Ooo,-

at the low estimate of 10000, 900,

Corn has been forced toward ma

weather has unquestionably done
some damage. But on the whole.
corn has done notably we'll and

matured, and in condition to be cut
up or to withstand a sharp frost.
For all the crop it would be better
to have seasonable weather without
frost until the latter part of this

been made in cutting, especially in
the dairy districts where the farm
ers fully appreciate the value of
corn fodder.
More than the usual amount of
fall blowing has been done and the
seeding of fall grain is in progress.
The pastures need rain, and in some
sections it is much needed to facili-

Arrangements have been perfected
with all lines of travel for special ex-
cursion rates to the John Robinson
Greatest of all American Shows, which
exhibits in Audubon Saturday Sept
ember IT,. AS this is the only place in
the vicinity where this famous big
show will exhibit this season, the OPP
pertunity to see it should be taken adj
vantage of by all who enjoy really
high class circus performance. The
John Robinson name needs no intro
duction to the community. 1t has
been identified for seventy four years
with all that is best in arenic anus
ments in the United States and the
show this year is bigger, better and
more meritorious than ever. One of
the great attractions of the present
season is Louis Cyr, the wonderful
Canadian strong man, who holds on
on his shoulders over two tons of SOL
id weight besides performing many
almost incredible feats of lifting. lii
addition to this special feature there
are hundreds of new and original
circus acts; thrilling Roman hip
podrome, horse fair containing oven
$50 handsome horses, and a grand pre-
liminary parade, in which the leading
features of the menagerie and hun
dreds of professional features are ex.
hibited free upon the streets.

SICK OR WELL A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

de Cuba Were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammuni-
ton and Rations to the Front Saved
the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 29d, says: ave all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was case of rush
and rush night and day to keep the
troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
we were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect savior of our army,
for if the packers had not been able to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front There
were no roads that a wagon train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and l know in four cases
it absolutely saved life."

manufacturers of this medicine, the
