Best Cough Medicine for Children.


When you buy a cough medicine
for small children you want one in
which you can place implicit con-
hdence. You want one that not only
relieves but cures. You want one
that is unuuestionably harmless.
You want one that is pleasant to
take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
meets all of these conditions. There
is nothing so good for the coughs and
colds incident to childhood. 1t is
also a certain preventive and cure
for Group, and there is no danger
whatever from whooping cough when
it is given. 1t has been used in
many epidemics Of that disease with
perfect success. For sale by all
druggists.

About three times a week the two
daily papers out at Pierre have to
take a fall out of the Mitchell papers
and the papers in the state that are
supporting Mitchell for their alleged
''knockine'' the state. 1t is rather
amusing to listen to the walls that
these fellows are setting forth, be-
cause it is only becoming clearer
every day that this is about the
only thing Pierre has to talk about,
and this is done simply to work up
more symathy for the feeble cause.
Mitchell's corn palace has done
more for the good Of South Da-
kota than anything that has hap
pened in years. IL has adyer tlsed
the state far and wide-even to
foreign shores, and in spite of all
this we are accused Of knocking
something that we have been trying
to promote all these years. And by
the way how long has it been since
Pierre has put up such an awful
fight for the good name of the state,
which they allege has been injured
simply because Mitchell is maintains
ing today what Pierre has always adj
vertised for the past twenty years as
the greatest grazing county on the
face Of the earth. We have simply
taken u cue from Pierre in still
advertising what they claim now
is all wrong. Settlers on the grazing
lands will never be able to reap much
profit in an agricultural way.

that she was to have a democratic
administration for a couple of years
when w. c. Sears was elected mayor
