How 10 Save Doctor Bill.

We have save many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain g
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep a bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold we begin to use
the Cough Remedy and as a result
we never have to send away for a
doctor and incur large doctor bill,
for Chamberlain Cough Remedy
never fails TO cure. 1t is certainly a
medicine of great merit and worth

GRAND JURY REPORT
County Property Generally il
Good Condition.

The grand jury, prior to its adj
journment, visited the county poor
farm and the Jail and submitted the
following report:
I'VE, the grand jury, beg leave to
report on the county poor farm and
jail as follows:
On February %, 1900, we visited
same and, after carefully investi-
eating same, find the following con-
ditions:
POOR FARM.
Sanitary condition of building good
order. Inmates same, 43 in number,
nearly all in good spirits and all well
taken care of considering their re-
spective conditions and, with one or
two exceptions, all claim good care
and treatment. We suggested a few
minor changes in the location of one
certain patient for the better COM
fort of several other inmates.
The live stock, with one exception,
we found all in good, thriving con-
dition. To this one exception we
suggested change to which the SUI
perintendent of the farm agreed and
corrected same.
We would further recommend that
the said county farm be supplied
with a suitable pair of stock scales;
also telephone with connections at
Oskaloosa, Iowa. This, we think,
would be asgood investment for our
county. Signed,
j. S. Whitmore.
JAIL.
The part of the jail in the court
house is amply secure. Sanitary
conditions are good. Inmates all re-
port good treatment and make no
complaint whatever
To what is known as the Nah aska
county jail, while the same is not
modern in construction, it answers
every purpose for which it is used !;
had no complaint to make. Claimed
good treatment and were perfectly
satisfied. Sanitary condition good.

what 20 DO Untn the Doctor arrive.

what 60 DO Until the Doctor Arrives
1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany,
IN. " dairyman called at drug store
there for doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with the Group.
Not finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on his return.
He also bought bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In a few hours he re-
turned, saying the doctor need not come,
as the child was much better. The drug
gist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family
has since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has constant demand
for it from that part of the country. For

Story OF q Mothers Love.

On the train over the Atlantic Coast
Line Saturday evening there was an
incident that shows that mothers
love is the same the world over, and is
possessed Of strength that is beyond
compare
When the train pulled up at Sumter
u very neatly dressed white woman,
apparently about 80 years old, came
aboard the train in haste. She had q
little boy about seven years old with
her "a pretty boy-and he looked as
if he had been crying. The woman
seemed nearly out Of breath and very
much excited. a passenger handed
her glass of water, which she drank.
Then she leaned back and concealed
the child as much as possible with
her skirt and cloak, and seemed un-
easy until the train had started for
Columbia.
Then she told the story of moth
er's love to the passengers about her.
She was from Cartersville She said
that when the child, first named Joe,
afterwards changed to Charley, was a
mere infant, she had found that she
was too poor to care for it, SO she ad-
vertiscd in a paper and an aged couple at
Sumter responded. She turned her
child over to them.
But she had found that she could
not live without her child; she was
willing to work for it till she dropped, !,
if she could only have it with her.
She went to the couple and told
them this, but they were unwilling
to let her have her child again, SO she
smuggled the little one away, carried
him to colored woman house just
out Of Sumter, and concealed him
there until nearly train time. Then
she made rush for the depot and
took the train. She said she had
sister here at work in the CRANKY
mills, and she had only enough money
to pay her way here The passengers
made up aopursc and gave it to her
and saw that she got Il carriage and
started for the mill village when the
train arrived here.
On the way up the mother repeated
ly asked the little boy: Don't you
know me, Charley; don't you know
your own mother? lie would draw
away and asked her to take him home
to morrow She tried time and again
to coax the child TO show some sign
Of recognition, but it conld not. She
declared time and again that she
would give up her life before she
gould part with her regained child.
The names Of all the parties are in
the possession of the State, but they
are not necessary to the com pletencss
of this incident of a railroad car. -

Most Lovely Thing on Earth.

the following beautiful story. in which
he &c charminE'y portrayed the most

member to have seen anywhere pref
tier picture than this:
''An angel was sent down from
heaven one day to bring back the most
beautiful thing on earth. He hunted
long AID carefully, saw e bed Of full
blown American Beauty rosee, lovely
beyond comparison, and he gathered
sn srmful and started to return to his
homo above.
GAS he eoared into the air he saw a
babys smile and, filled by raptur-
GUS admiration at the sight, returned
to take it too. By iss side he discov-
cred mothers love, and with oil
three in his arms he mounted to the
place beyond the skies.
"Just outside the reerly gates the
spirit paused for q moment, and 10!
the roses were withered and the baby s
smile had vanished, but strong and
faithful and scrcnely beautiful as ever,
mother love remained; and he cast
the other aside and took this and laid
it at the feet Of his Master as the
most lovely and lasting thing on
carth.'
