This Is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase for 75c the only remedy uni
versally known and remedy that has
had the largest sale of any medicine
in the world since 1858 for the cure
and treatment of consumption and
throat and lung troubles without los
ing its great popularity all these years.
you will be thankful we called your
attention to Boschee's German Syrup.
There are SO many ordinary cough
remedies made by druggists and others
that are cheap and good for light colds
perhaps, but for severe coughs, bron-
chitis, croup-and especially for con-
sumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. Sold by all drug
gists in the civilized world.

A 1s-cENr POSTAGE STAMP.

Department Issues Them for Conven-
fence Of Foreign Business.
Uncle Sam is not skeptic upon the
subject of unlucky omens. This is APP
Parent from the fact that there has
just been issued at Washington post
age stamp of a 13-cent denomination,
which was suggested to the department
more than two years ago by Mr.. H. w.
Cam, then postmaster at Carterville,
ILL.,, but who Is former resident of
st. Louis.
Among the patrons of Mr.. Cams
office were a great many foreigners
who frequently had occasion to send
registered letters to their friends in
their native lands. When the necessary
number of stamps were placed on the
letter there was hardly room left for
the usually long address, and this per-
suaded Mr.. Cam that as the govern
rnent had no single stamp of the de-
nomination required one be issued
10 supply this, demand. The govern
ment took kindly to the suggestion. and
has lately issued the first of the stamps,
which bear an excellent likeness of ex-
President Harrison.
The cost of registering letter is 8
cents and the postage to foreign coun-
tries. not in the American postal sys-
tenn. is cents, making 10 cents in all.
This saves an expense of printing to the
government, and allows more room on
the envelopes for the address and num-
erous postmarks that are usually placed
on foreign letters, and 1t is a conven-
fence to both patrons and the handlers
of the mails.
Mr.. Cam does not think that anyone
will hesitate to buy the stamp because
OF superstition. but says that he has al
ready had misfortune, which might be
attributed to 1t. He is democrat, and
was appointed by President Cleveland
AZ postmaster at Carterville Soon after
his suggestion to the department re-
publican was appointed to succeed him.
The first newspaper printed in the
United States was published in Boston,

+ The library trustees have been in
correspondence with Andrew Carnegie
relative to securing an increase in his
library donation from $685. 900 to $50, 900,
and they feel confident Of securing this
amount, which will be necessary to
complete the building now contemplat-
ed. In order to meet the requirements
of this donation the trustees have been
informed that 1t will be necessary for
the city to pledge an annual mainte-
nance of $4,000. The sum of $4,000 had
already been pledged by the council,
and the 2 mill tax levied for this year
raises $4,000. To meet this demand and
secure the additional $4,000 gift Mr..
Greene offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Andrew Carnegie, of the
city of New York, offers, proposes and
agrees to furnish and pay to the city
of Marshalltown, Iowa, the sum of
thirty thousand ($3O,O00.00) dollars,
with which said city shall build. erect
and maintain library building for the
uses and purposes of free public Ii
brary, and
whereas, the aforesaid offer and
proposition of the said Andrew Carne-
gle is based upon the following express
terms and conditions, to wit: that the
said city will use and employ or cause
to be used and employed, as provided
by law, said $4,000 in building and
erecting said proposed library building,
and that said city will also raise,furnish
and appropriate a sum of not less than
$4,000 annually, with which said city
shall support. maintain, keep and oper-
ate said library building, and the IL
brary therein contained, or cause the
same to be done.
Therefore, be it resolved by the city
council of the city of Marshalltown,

Duck Batting.

Duck hunting has been usll r.
ed III and the "webfo t, rs'' are
found to be fairly plentiful
Many of our spo. tsmen report
fair success a. the result Of div
on the marshes and s!ouehs
Geese are not overly plentiful
vet. A gentleman wi is fond
of hunting stated a few days ago
that he believed there were more
ducks in the vicinity of Portland
than anywhere else in the state,
and gave as the reason for this,
that it was the custom of the
metropolitan -sportsmen to feed
the ducks. 1t is said that the
Portland hunters feed the ducks
tons of good, clean, marketable
wheat in course of a season.
They hire men to sow wheat in
the grass and weeds along the
edge of the water, and also to
throwsthe grain in the edge Of
the water where it is shallow.
They also hire men to guard
their reserves and see that no
poachers steal a march on them.
The feeding is done below
Portland, among the islands of
the Columbia and Willamette
rivers. As the ducks come from
the north they arrive on the Col
umbia river first. strike the feed
ing grounds, think it a good
place and stay there, to the dis
gust OF sportslnen in other sec
tions of the state. A Portland
sportsman, commenting OH this
matter, said that in the course of
a season he and his fellow hunt
ers used tons of wheat and he be-
lieved that every duck he shot
cost him rs cents.
