SPRAY OF THE RAPIDS.

Notice has several times been given
to the success DR.. McElWee was
having in treating bad cases of chronic
diseases. Since that time several
cases have been noticed that go to
prove that DR.. McElWee is the great
est and most successful specialist in
the northwest. One case in which the
good results have been most surprising
IS that OF Mr.. Oliver, who for years
had been in miserable health. He
was getting to be little more than
skeleton, and it was plainly to be
seen that he could not live much
longer at the rate he was failing. AS
Mr.. Oliver himself explains, Il was
just run down, it seemed to me: didn't
nave any pain except in my stomach.
But felt tired aud worn out: had no
ambition at all: [ was that nervous |
couldn't sleep. That was about all |
could complain Of but I could easily
see that [ was losing flesh and strength
all the time. Invent to several doctors
and they gave me tOnicS Of one kind
and another but nothing did me the
least bit of good. | happened togo to
DR.. McElWee and he said he could
cure me after he had examined me
with great care: he said it would take
some time, that the trouble was in my
nervous system and had been going
on for years. | knew he was right
about that. | started to take his
treatment which has been perfectly
pleasant in every way and it wasn't a
week before | felt much better and
every day since | have continued to
gain. Why. | haven't been as we'll
for years, [ don't know how many
pounds | have gained but [ do know
that life looks a deal different to me
than it did. | am anxious to work
and [ don't get tired either. | can
eat anything without pain and [
sleep as we'll as [ ever did in my life.
[ guess you can see for yourself that |
am very different looking man."
Such wonderful cures as this have
given the doctor a wide reputation
and many patients. These grand
results are explained by the doctor
using line Of fine imported remedies,
fresh from the hands Of the most
skilled of European chemists and
which are said to cure diseases like
epilepsy, asthma, lung and bad
stomach diseases, rheumatism and all
forms Of nervous troubles.
The girls at one Of the prominent
hotels Of the city had a WaSh-day eX
perience Monday that differed radi
cally from the usual hum-drum pro-
gram on such occasions. They pound
ed out the sheets and pillow cases re-
CARELESS Of consequences, but when
they went to run them through the
Wringer this very unfeeling piece of
machinery got stuck on one Of the
sheets and refused to wiring it. The
girls couldn't understand it, and the
landlady, appearing opportunity, I'M
raveled the mystery. Tucked up in
the sheet was a large pocket book full
of valuable papers and 800 in bills.
About this time young business man
from NekOOSa, a frequent visitor at
the hotel, rushed into the house and
inquired if anybody had found a peck
ct book in No. -. He soon identi-
fled his property and went away eaSed
in mind and resolved on greater pru-
dence for the future.
A fire alarm on the West side Mon
day evening attracted a large crowd
Of people about $50 o'clock to South
Maple street in the 18th ward. The
fire was located in the house Of D. p.
Roberts who, with his family, was
taking in the play at the opera house.
The fire had caught under the stairs
in the front part Of the house and the
dense smoke that filled the building
made it difficult to locate the seat of
the trouble. However, with lanterns
to investigate with and a judiciOuS
use of water the blaze was ex-
tinguiShed with but little damage to
no bui 16ipm h1lf Mr. o,,I NJ,
lost most Of their wearing apparel
which was hung in closet near the
stairs and their carpets and furniture
were more or less damaged by water.
Daniel McKerchcr sold his interest
in and retired from the -'rm Of John
son, Hill & Co. lasU Friday. Monday
noon in company with Emil Rossier of
this city he departed for Oakland,
Ore, via St. Paul. Geo. B. Mcmillan
has had the western fever to some
extent of late and after McKercher
and ROssier had gone he suddenly
decided to join them on the trip and
telegraphed them to await him at St.
Paul and that evening took the train
for that city. They will look up
western prospects and especially tim
Der interests.
1t has been suggested that the tract
of land owned by the city and lying
between the library building and the
Congregational church. would make
an elegant site for the future high
school building of Grand Rapids. To
the front would be the rapids, as beau
tiful a body of rushing water as the
Wisconsin affords, while at the door.
one might say, of the high school
would be the public library for the
use of the school as we'll as the public.
Can anyone suggest better location?
In almost every neighborhood there
is some one whose life has been saved
by Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
DiarrhOea Remedy. Or who has been
cured of chronic diarrhOea by the use
of that medicine. Such persons make
a point of telling of it whenever OppOr-
tunity offers, hoping that it may be
the means of saving other lives. For |

The Oberbeck Manufacturing Co. of |
this city have been expanding lately |
in true American Style-the kind of |
that meets the appreciation |
Of all shades of political opinion. |
They recently shipped one large con- |
Signment Of furniture to Honolulu |
and another to San Juan, Porto Rico. |
