chambcrIain's Cough Remedy

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip etfectually and perma-
nently, out prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also certain cure for Group. Whoop-
cough is not dangerous when this rem
edy is given. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to baby as to an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken in
to consideration it is not surprising
that people in foreign lands, as well
as at home, esteem this remedy very
highly and very few are willing to
take any other after having once used
1t. For sale by G. Lavelle.

Cause OF IOckjuw

Lock jaw, or tetanns, IL caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive SO
long as exposed TO the air, but when
carried beneath the skin. as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps, or
by rusty nails, and when the air is ex-
cluded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulcnt poison
known. These germs may be destroy
ed and all danger Of lockjaw avoided
by applying Chamberain's Pain Balm

Democratic Speaking.

The first and only democratic rally
of the campaign was held in Julesburg
last Monday night. Only small
crowd of people was present and many
OF these left the hall before the close
Of the meeting. The speakers were
Clay B. Whitford, candidate for con-
gress, John l. Tierney, candidate for
state representative, and N. Eugene
Brasie, candidate for district attorney.
Tierney led of in the speaking and was
followed by Whitford. Each devoted
himself principally to vicious personal
attacks upon the republican candi-
dates and the republican admiDistra-
tion. No arguments were advanced
by either as reasons why the people
should vote for the democratic candi-
dates, but the speech Of each was a
strong argument in favor Of the re-
publican candidates. When republi-
cans Of such national renown as Presi
dent Roosevelt and congressman
Bouynge and Brooks are attacked by
ward politicians OF the Whitford and
Tierney stripe, then the republicans
become gamers and their election
becomes surer.
At the close Of Candidate Whitford's
harangue, Candidate Brasie was in
troduced to the audience which by
this time had dwindled to half it's or
iginal size. Mr.. Brasie acknowledged
the introduction by rising to his feet,
making school-boy bow, mumbling a
few words and taking his seat. He
did not sustain the reputation for abii
ity as u speaker with which the It'd
ings has sought to endow him. In fact
his ability, if any he has, was success
fully concealed Monday night. But
he will never have a chance to display
any ability he might have in the dis
trct attorneys Office; Judge Pound,
the republican candidate, will be re-
elected to the office by big majority.

Enthusiastic Republican Meeting


The biggest republican rally OF the
campaign was held ia the court house
in Julesburg last Tuesday evening.
The court room was too small to accom-
modate the crowds OF people and many
were turned away because of their ina
bility to secure even standing room.
The speakers were Halsted L. Rit-
ter, Willis V. Elliot, and George c,
Stemen, each an orator Of ability.
State issues were discussed by each
speaker in a straightforward, convinc-
ing style, and the specious arguments
which are being made by. the demo-
Gratis were torn To pieces and scattered
to the four winds. The confidential
talk Of the last named speaker to re
publicans was splendid argument for
loyalty to party principles, and it ma
terially strengthened the few who are
party. The result Of the meeting will
be Of great benefit to the party in
Sedgwick couniy and it will appear
most emphatically at the polls on the
Sth of November.
A very enjoyable feature Of the
meeting Tuesday evening was the ap-
pearance of the American Quartette in
campaign minstrelsy. This quartette
is composed OF good singers and it re.
ceived numerous enCores, all Of which
were responded to. Altogether this
rally was the most largely attended
and the most enthusiastically apprec.
lated OF any ever held in Sedgwick
county.
