Rheumatic twinges, headache, and the
pains of disordered stomach are frequent
reminders of the strain and hardships OF an
army campaign. In all such cases the nerves
are affected too seriously to right themselves,
and prompt treatment is necessary. The best
treatment consists of DIR. Miles Restorative
Nervine, which restores vitality to the nerves
and helps them to throw off various disorders
which bring about pain and suffering. There
is nothing so good for the stomach and bow
els as DR. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills. They
act directly upon the nerves of the digestive
organs, speedily restoring them to normal
activity.

Labor Day.

Labor day in Chanute was celebra-
ted in very lively manner. The
day was ushered in by the booming of
cannons and was not very far advanced
till crowds began assembling on the
streets. The stores were all closed
and everybody had a chance to get
out and they got. Early In the
morning farmers with their families
began TO arrive and a little later the
excursion trains began to unload and
by noon the streets were literally
thronged with people from the Katy
depot to the western limits.
The parade was long and interest
ing. Many orders were represented
by large delegations and many of our
enterprising merchants were in line
with appropriate floats.
Joe Gotthelf's demonstration at
tracted the attention or the crowd for
its cOmlcality.
The BARRIERS and the carpenters
I showed up their business in a practl-
cal way.
At night the crowd assembled in the
fair grounds and had hilarious time.
The grove was thoroughly lighted by
one mammoth gas jet and numerous
little ones.
A big business was done by the
confetti sellers and the crowd, which
was immense, seemed to be out for a
big time and all the innocent fun to
be had.
Plenty of beer was dispensed during
the day from two or three joints and
toughs were generally past going
before nipht. Good order was nre-
served during the festivities.
The efforts to have a ball game
during the afternoon came near
being thwarted by the immense
crowds that surge1 into the field and
interfered very much with the
players, However a very good game
was finally pulled of between the
locals and the Scammon team, result
ing In q score OF to 3 in favor OF the
locals.
