The Best Remedy for Group.

(From Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe. }
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedy for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case Of burglars. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost so much It causes the
patient to ''throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon the
croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. It never fails and
is safe and pleasant to take. For sale
by all dealers.

QaSaturday evening about ten
States Attorney Burr and
Deputy Sheriff Parker made their
appearance in Westhope and unexpect-
edly dropped into the resort known as
the Black Maria, where poker game
was in progress, and proceeded to do
a little cleaning up. There were
eighteen persons in the room at the
time. They we're all taken into
custody and brought before Justice
Meade. Seven of them will be held
to the district court for gambling
The balance were dismissed, as they
were only onlookers. Not long after
the prisoners were taken to the Justice S
Office some one bent on getting rid of
the nuisance set fire to the building
and it was not long until it went up
in smoke. By careful watching the
balance of the town was saved from
destruction. 1t was, however a close
call as the town has no fire protection
and very little water was to be had
in the neighborhood. Westhope has
been running wide open for some time
and it was time that something was
done to put a stop to lawlessness a
goodly supply of poker chips. playing
cards and some Canadian whiskey
were among the things taken from the
building.
