FROM SOUTH AFRICA
New Way OF Using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy,

Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from
Dulb3n, Natal, South Africa, says:
"As proof that Chamberlain'S Cough
Remedy is cure suitable for old and
young, pen you the following: "a
neighbOr of mine had child just
bad cough and the parents did not
know what TO give it. | suggested
that if they would get a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat the
baby was sucking it would no doubt
cure the child. This they did and
brought about quick relief and
cured the baby" This remedy is for
sale by J. e. DAILY and Sam Church.

The grave danger which is startling
the Republican party of Wood county
and Wisconsin, in the face is brought
forcibly to mind. 1t is without
doubt true that in some of the
counties of the state the bitterness
between the StalwartS and the Half
Breeds has gone to such length
that many of the candidates will be
knitted running the great risk of
throwing the legislature into the
hands of the Democrats. Whether
the nomination for State senate and
Assembly be La Toilette men or
Stalwarts, the Republicans of the
state should vote for them. Should
the campaign worker who pretends to
represent the Republican organization
or any candidate on the Republican
ticket, be urging the voters to cut
any of the Republican ticket, he
should be downed as traitor and be
treated as such. Be not deceived
with plausible argument, but
remembe that it is Of vital i'm
portance that Republicans are sent
to the legislature this fall.

Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the
most notable English writers known
to the present generation, was won't to
say that nothing interested him more
than the peruSal of good map; and
without doubt, map that is we'll
made and accurate catches the eye
and arrests the attention of many
people as few other things can do.
The men in charge OF railway traffic
possess most positive appreciation of
this fact and large expenditure of
time and skillful thought is made on
his feature of railway publicity, so

the mystic and interesting region OF

hillsides of California, covered with
vineyards. orchards and grain fields,

Alaska, and those regions of inter-

southern Minnesota and that part OF

and given to the public gratis, far and

talking on this subject: ''There is no

Just at the close of This campaign
the voters are being submerged with
literature and speeches. In this. as
in any other campaign there are
issues which stand out prominently
as main issues. and in this campaign
there are two, primary election
and freight rate regulation. Primary
election has leen thoroughly dis
cussed here in Wood county and
any further discussion would be re-
Election on the intelligence of this
community. When the governor
spoke here in Grand Rapids, he took
up the most vital question, until
then not thoroughly understood.
mainly regulating freight rates,
building his foundation fully. The
governor showed conclusively that no
law fixing rates so low as to prevent
the railroads paying their men good
wages and still have good profit
left could stand. La Toilette stands
on this platform which he regards as
a contract between himself and the
people. The Wisconsin fight is not a
party fight. 1t is fight of rival in
terest. Both in Wisconsin and the
United States the most vital question
before the people is the question of
freight rate regulation.

Judge Had Been a Boy.

Judge Oliver in the district court
said to two men who were prosecuting
Johnny Burns. aged fourteen years. in
the juvenile court for throwing rock
at billboard: "pm not going to
send this boy or any other boy to the
reform school simply because he fires
a rock at billboard. 4 think some OF
the billboards in this town would
tempt grown man to strike them.
But boys will be boys and you can't
make men out of them. I remember
when / was boy and liked to throw
at billboards. If were to send every
boy in Sioux City to the reform school
who pokes holes in billboards there
would not be ten boys left in the town.
For such mischievousness give them a
spanking. If their parents don't do
it, catch them and spank them your

He Paid the Bill.

A funny story about physician IL
going the rounds. A resident OF the
town set out four shade trees for the
doctor. A short time later the ply
stefan was called to attend the mother
in-law of the man who set out the
trees. The old lady died and the ply
sioian presented his bill. After pay
ing it the ci tizen thought OF the trees,
and made out and presented bill for
them. "But the trees died, )" protested
the doctor. $50 did my mother-in-
law" retorted the old man. The doc
tor paid the bill.

Female Grafters.

Colesburg was visited last week by
a couple of female grafters with the
following manner of doing people
One of the women went about town
with soap and tale of woe as long as
the moral law. She claimed Dyers-
Vile as her home, and said her hus-
band was sufferer from asthma, and
that she made and sold soap.-for the re-
moving of iron rust, mildew and fruit
stains from clothes in order to support
her family of six children. one of
whom was just recovering from three
weeks siege of pneumonia. Out of
sympathy several ladies bought the
soap. learning afterwards that it had
been purchased of Bush & "Opens for
five cents a..bar. Each bar had been
divided into fourths.and sold at twen-
ty-five cents leach. Ninety-five cents
is not bad profit on a bar of SOAP
There was also girl who bought lace
at the stores and sold it at a fabulous
price for handmade lace my mother
made" In cases like this where the
grafters work on the sympathies of
the people. it is not the fact that they
have been ''done" for few cents, but
the thought that their attempt to be
charitable has been misplaced, that
hurts. Gutenberg Press.
