1t has been demonstrated repeatedly
in every state in the Union and in many
foreign countries that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is a certain preventive
and cure for Group. 1t has become the
universal remedy for that disease. M.
" Fischer, of Liberty, w. Va, only re-
peats what has been said around the
globe when he writes: 81 have used
Chant erlain's Cough Remedy in my
family for several years and always with
perfect success. We believe that it is
not only the best cough remedy, but that
it is sure cure for Group. 1t has saved
the lives of our children a number of
times" This remedy is for sale by c..
A Gamm.
The regular meeting of the COM
mon council last Tuesday evening was
postponed on account of lack of a quor-
UNI. Failure of aldermen to attend
meetings seems to be quite frequent
with this council. Some think that
the remedy for the evil lies in the in
stitution of small salaries to aldermen,
but we doubt that that would help
much. Besides, it is not very pro-
bable that a measure providing for
such could be enacted. 1t would be a
radical step, and there are perhaps not
many mayors of small cities who would
care to sanction it with their official
approval.
An employee in one of the Neenah
paper mills on pay day a month ago
received crisp new $40 bill He made
a red ink mark on the back of the bill
and then paid it out to his grocer with
a request not to bank it, but to pay it
to another and have each recipient
keep track of the bill. A few days
ago he received the same bill back
again. He then proceeded to trace up
the wanderings of the bill and nth
the following result: He paid it to his
grocer; the grocer in turn paid it to
his landlord; the landlord to a shoe
merchant; the shoe man to building
contractor; the contractor to one OF
his employees; the employee to his dry
goods merchant; the latter to one OF
r ri ho int tn r no
paper mill, and the paper company TO
the employee. Thus that $40 bill
wiped out 800 of indebtedness and is
now ready for another round in the
great battle of finances. -Neenah
Times.
der Corner Grocer" as pre-
sented by Adolph Philip and his ca
pable German company, ranks with
the best performances ever given in
the city 1t is a five-act musical com
edy, and the fun is fast and furious
from the first act to the end Of the
play. The first scene is in barber
shop, and too hilariously funny to de-
scribe. There is view of pure COM
edy throughout the entire piece, with
enough of a plot to create an interest
and introduce the musical specialties.
The costumes and scenery are rich in
effect and greatly add to the produc-
ton. Mr.. Philip, the leading man,
owner and author of the piece, is an
actor of much ability, and has sur
rounded himself with an excellent
company, of which Emil Berla and
Maria Won Wegern are principal fun
makers. At Turner Opera house,
Saturday, January 81. Only few
choice seats left.
AT an adjourned meeting of the
common council last evening Mayor
CRUDE presented a communication in
which he recommended that resolu-
ton be passed requiring the city at
torney to compile all the existing city
ordinances in proper form and to re-
wise the city charter, preparatory to
having the same printed and bound
into one volume. He also recon-
mended that the fire limits ordinance
be amended so as to include all that
district extending from Ienth to
Church streets and including two
blocks north and south of Main and
West Main streets. A resolution was
subsequently passed in accordance
with the first named recommends atoms,
the cost of printing and binding to be
paid out of the city general fund, while
the city attorney is to receive no extra
compensation above his salary for the
work of compiling and revising. An
other communication from the mayor
recommended that the council enact
measures compelling the railroad COM
panies to place guard gates at all
principal crossings in the city.
