German Syrup is the special preserip.

be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in medicine. 1t quickly cures coughs,
colds and lung troubles OF the severest
nature. removing, as it does, the cause
OF the affection and leaving the parts in
strong and healthy condition. It is
not an experimental medicine, but has
stood the test of years, giving satisfac-
ton in every case, which it's rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually.
Boschee's German Syrup was introduced
in the United States in 1868, and is now

DANIELS.

There are quite few OF the boys who
are breaking in bronchos for the fall
work.
Archie Mclean will give up school
teaching and hereafter may be expected
to put in considerable time holding
down his claim near town.
Archie Mcclellan is cooking for the
Moore brothers threshing machine,
while lie has man and his wife engag-
ed in taking care of his farm.
Emil Hankcy will soon have his place
covered with new buildings. The addi-
tions that lie has put up this summer
of themselves add much to the appear
ance of his fine farm.
Hugh MCPHERSON has just completed a
new granary on his farm, and by the
way it is reported that Hugh will go
back to the place of his birth this fall
to take unto himself bride.
W. j. Malone is going away soon.
Whether he goes to Canada or Ireland
is something we do not know, he may
probably fool US all and go to the
woods in Minnesota to spend the
winter.
Chris Monte is another good looking
young farmer OF Grey who it il rumored
will no longer live alone, but your
correspondent has as yet been unable to
learn in which direction he will wend his
way in search for life partner.
An important event that we must not
neglect to chronicle is the advent OF a
fine pair OF twins last Monday at the
home OF Charles Rogers. Such an ad-
dition as this to the population is some
thing OF which the people of Grey may
well feel proud.
For some reason or other, which it
seems impossible to account for, there
are more cases OF sickness around here
than has been the rule for some time,
though we are glad from latest reports
to be able to state that every one is
recovering nicely.
William Brotherson il another around
here who will make change in his
household arrangements this winter but
it is unlikely that he will go farther
than down In the Valley in his search
for wife and thinks that he will be
able to show the boys just as charming
sample OF femminity as ii he had gone
to Canada, like the rest of them.

Wonders Of the Latest Raw.

In 1906 French chemist discovered
rays emanating from the elements ura.
mum which possessed properties similar to
the Roentgen rays. They were called
Becqueral rays, after the discoverer. But
while the dscoverer, Roentgen, aroused
great interest In the whole civilized world,
leading to radical changes In medical dag.
nosis, the Becquerel rays were only en-
ployed IN physical laboratories. and an as.
sertion by the French scientist, Demar.
Gays. that they were not emitted from
uranium, but from new element, made
no impression. Recent experiments by
Berlin High School Of Technology have
proved this assertion-ihat new element
Is responible for the Becquerel rays-and
the interesting fact has been observed
that these rays rendered almost every
transparent substance luminous In the
darkness. These rays made II possible to
tell genuine diamonds from artificial ones
In the dark. This will prove of great
practical Importance in testing. The ex.
periments have also resulted IN obtaining
for the first time large quantities Of the
new element, which has demonstrated
that rays emanating from a larger quan.
tity make the air such conductor of elec.
idcity that II is hoped this property can be
utilized In wireless telegraphy. Expert.
ments for this purpose are being made in
the Berlin institution, but the deepest
secrecy Is maintained concerning them.
1t is stated that the results will soon be
laid before the emperor, which seems to
indicate that the discovery is regarded as
one of great importance, Extract from

has filed with the county auditor a
notice of contest against R. d. Martin,
the republican candidate who was de-

Of the judges of election in New Buda

violation of the law; that the ballot box
was left at the voting place and was
not in the care or custody of any of
the judges Of election during said hour;
that for said reason the vote of said
township should not be counted
and that if said township was
eliminated from the count for the
