To Be Prepared.

For war is the surest way for this ma
ton to maintain peace. That is the
opinion of the wisest statesmen. 1t is
equally true that to be prepared for spring
is the best way to avoid the peculiar dan
gers of the season. This is lesson
multitudes are learning. and at this time,
when the blood is sure TO be loaded with
impurities and to be weak and sluggish,
the millions begin to take Hoods Sar-
sarparilla, which puri6es, enriches and
vitalizes the blood, expels all disease
germs. creates good appetite. gives
strength and energy and puts the whole
system in healthy condition, preventing
pneumonia fevers, and other dangerous
diseases which are liable to attack weak
ened sy stem.

babies than Chamberlain Cough

and effsctual cures make it favorite
with mothers and small children. 1t

preventing pneumonia or other serious
consequences. II also cures Group and

cases without single failure so far as
we have been able to learn. II not only
cures croop. but when given as soon as
the croupy cough appears, will prevent
the attack. In cases of whooping cough
it lique6es the tough mucus. making it
easier to expectorate, and lessons the
severity and frequency OF the paroxysms
of coughing, thus depriving that disease
of all dangerous consequences. For

The repeated revefses experienced by

Mass Meeting.

a finer display on any similar occasion
has seldom been seen in a town of the
size of Paw Paw than was made at the
republican massmeeting in this village,
on Saturday last.
The weather was perfect and the crowd
was large and enthusiastic. The process
sion contained many beautiful and unique
features in the way of floats, elegantly
trimmed carriages, appropriate and sug-
gestiye banners, flags, notices, traction
engines drawing trains OF wagons and
carriages, mounted men, bands of music,
bicycle riders, etc, etc. The national
colors were prolusely displayed, not only
IN the procession, but along the streets,
on business places and private houses,
and everywhere was displayed yellow
flowers and bunting indicative of the
prosperity that has come to the people
under the policy of protection and sound
money based on the gold standard.
Many of the business men were repre-
scented in the display. Especially fine
were the floats of the Paw Paw Evapor-
ating company, the Paw Paw Canning
factory and the Paw Paw Basket factory,
all of which attracted the attention of
the people and elected great commenda-
ton.
In the afternoon, Ex-Governor Rich
addressed as many people as could crowd
into the rink and in the evening, Hon.
Dallas Boudeman spoke to a similar
audience in the same place.
Republicans have good reason to be
proud Of the success that attended their
efforts. As compared with the demo-
cratic massmeeting OF the preceding
Thursday, it was-but comparisons
are odious.

Cayuga county, n. Y, February 10, 1872,
and died November 4, 1900, aged 6S years,
8 months and Is days. When four years
of age he came with his parents to st.
Joseph county, Michigan. Five years
later they moved to Hamilton, Van Blu
rem county, where the remainder of his
life was spent. July 4, 1886, he was
married TO Martha j. Steele. Two boys,
who, with their mother and an adopted
daughter Mrs. Edna Geer, survive him.
For upwards of twenty-five years he had
been a faithful member of the Nj. f..
church. Early last spring he was af-
flicted with what was supposed to be
sciatic rheumatism and was treated for
the same with very little relief, while the
disease steadily progressed. Three weeks
ago last Sunday it was thought best to
have council of physicians, who pro
nounced it cancer located over the hip,
and that the end was very near. a low
