A Timely Suggestion

This is the season OF the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply Of Chamberlain's IS
Cough Remedy. 1t is certain to be
needed before the winter is over, and
results are much more prompt and sat
isfactory when it is kept at hand and
given as soon as the cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in the
system. In almost every instance a
severe cold may be warded off by TAX
ing this remedy freely as soon as the
first indication of the cod appears.
There is no danger in giving it to
children for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take
both adults and children like it. Buy
it and you will get the best. 1t always
cures. For sale by G. Lavelle.

Not the Time to Quit,

do not consider the present prop
er time to quit the business of cattle
raising. The argument is very simple
and very easy TO understand. The
time to quit business is when one
can dispose of his holdings at a profit
The time to engage in business is
when purchases can be made at prices
that assure a reasonable return on the
Investment. Every business has its
ups and downs but in the impulses
that control the acts of men they are
usually unable to sell when the mark
cts are at the top notch but become
discouraged at once when the markets
reach the lowest ebb.-D. +. FOor in

Destructive Prairie Fires.

in the destruction CT considerable win

track. Otto Fulcher has about II
sections Of land under fence and had
saved the grass for winter pasture but
the fire took nearly all of it. Other
ranchmen also suffered. The results
would have been much worse had it,
not been for the good work done by
tho-e who discovered the fire. a dance
was being held at the home of Mr..
Finch and the people went out and
made valiant fight to subdue the
flames. This is the second fire in the
county this fall, the other startins
near Paoli and burning north. Every
precaution possible against fire should
be taken for the grass is as dry as DOW
der and, with u strong wind, fire would
take everything before it.-Holyoke

How 70 Prevent Group

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first stage of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a Pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands Of mothers and has never
becD known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by G. Lavelle.

Will Abolish Return Passes.

At meeting of the general freight
agents Of all the western railroads held
in Chicago recently it was decided to
discontinue the issuing Of return trans
portation to shippers accompanying
live stock after December 81.
This settles a question which has
been pending for years in the traffic
departments of western railroads, and
which the stock shippers Of the west
have fought with tooth and nail. :"
The same rule has been in effect on
the lines running east from Chicago
for number of years. 1t means the
payment OF many thousands Of dollars
annually by the stock shippers west of
Chicago for return transportation af-
ter accompanying their shipments to
market
1t is possible that the railroads will
be able to maintain this rule but it is
doubtful. For several years about
this time In the year Il similar agree
ment has been entered into by the
various western roads, but the rule has
never been enforced. That it will be
observed now by the roads is not prob
able, although the final outcome will
be awaited with considerable anxiety
by the stockmen OF the west.

Death OF Miss Hcrbst.

Miss Maria Louisa Herbst died at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. b. Beatty, in
Julesburg, last Saturday morning, af-
ter a short illness. The immediate
cause of death was complete loss of
vitality due to old age.
Miss Eerbst was an aunt of Mrs.
Beatty and had made her home with
the latter since May, 1902 At the
time of her death Miss Herbst was 10
years of age; she had been in failing
health for some time and her death
was not wholly unexpected.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Il. N. Smith Sunday afternoon in
the NJ. e. church, and were attended
by large number of friends: this SER
vice was followed by burial in the
Julesburg cemetery.
The deceased was confirmed in the
Moravian church when only sixteen
years old and continued consistent
member of this church until the time
of her death. \ friend has used the
following lines rs beautiful tribute to
her memory:
Servant of God, we'll done.

One of our subscribers has sug-
gcstcd that we publish a series of

a good one and shall be glad to
publish sIch letters provided the

nish them. We believe that such
a plan will serve to advertise the

no doubt help to bring in new
people. We should like to begin
publishing letters Of this kind
with the new year; we can handle
one or two letters each week, ac-
cording to the length of the let
ters, and will be willing to con-
tinue the plan throughout the

THOU MIGHTY ONE!

When all the world about me
Is sad and dark and dreary;
And sin my soul does burden,
BY faith see my guerdon
In Jesus, Thou, the Mighty one.
When On life's sea I'm tossing,
While fearlessly I'm crossing
That mighty gulf of sorrow,
Within the path so narrow;
In Thee l hide Thou Mighty one!
When dark despair besets me,
When my poor heart regrets me;
Thy mighty arm oh lengthen,
My fainting soul to strengthen.
Oh gracious Lord, Thou Mighty one!
When this death wierdly knelling,
Those last few hours dispelling;
When life's dark day is ended,
And this shell lies distended;
Dear Jesus leave me not alone,

Not Enough to Go Around.

Chappcll coal dealers had car load
of coal on tap Monday which was cart
ed out SO fast that it was hardly nee
essary to set the car out of the train.
Railroad men say this is snap for
them. but it is pretty tough on the
fellows that don't get in town in time
to get his shogel in. Chappell has
been very fortunate and we are in.
formed has had more coal than any
town along the road, but even this is
poor satisfaction to the fellow that is
cut out and can't get any. The short
age of coal has certainly been lesson
to both dealer and consumer, and it is
to he hoped that all will remember the
lesson they are paying for now and
lay in good supply of fuel next year
before the rush begins with the rail
road COMPANY and save all this anx-
ious watching and waiting for coal

Editor Price a Joker.

Our friend Price, editor Of the
Sterling Democrat, is surely funny
cuss." He enjoys his little joke and
never loses an opportunity to indulge
this propensity. His latest etferves-
cence has to do with the removal Of
the Union Pacific roundhouse from
Julesburg to Sterling, and in this con-
nection he delivers himself of the fol-
lowing very amusing editorial:
'.The work of rebuilding the Union
Pacific coal chutes which were destroy
eed by fire couple OF months ago was
commenced Tuesday by Charles Boul-
ter, foreman OF bridges and buildings,
and Il force of competent workmen.
In the near future the Union Pacific
will commence tearing down the round
house, and other division material at
Julesburg. and move the same to
Sterling. 1t is now definitely settled
that this plan will be carried out. al
though the date has not been definite
ly settled upon rs yet. 1t is also claim
ed that the company is talking Of
taking Julesburg off the line as sta
tion altogether, but we hope that this
mot correct, as the Democrat has a
number Of warm personal friends at
that point"
Our worthy brothers propensity for
joking is doubtless we'll known to all
hn nf nf
them would take an item like the
above seriously. In fact they would
look upon it as being in the same cate
CORY with other effusions of Bro. Price
along the same line in which he has
at various times professed to believe
that Il sugar factory would be built
next year at Sterling, and that the
B. & NJ. railroad company would in a
short time move the llolyoke division
to that town.
There is but little proba blty of any
OF these things occurring. Neither
the Union Pacific nor the B. Il NJ.
railroad company has any intention of
making Sterling division point: nor
will sugar factory be built there
next year or at any time in the near
future Bro. Price is probably as we'll
aware OF these facts as any one, but he
will have his little joke occasionally,
especially when he can do so at the cx-
pense OF Julesburg.
AS to the new coal chutes the editor
OF the Democrat states are being built
ip Sterling we might state that these
chutes are being built only for tempor-
ary use. They are small, coItain only
four pockets and will be used only un-
iii new chutes can be constructed at
