Startling But True.

People the world over were horritied
on learning of the burning of Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred
people lost their lives, yet more thar
five times this number or over 5000
people died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of these
ca es of pneumonia resulted from a
cold and could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. A great many who had every
reason to fear pneumonia have warded
it off by the prompt use of this remedy
The following is an instance Of this
sort: "Too much cannot be said in
favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
and especially for colds and influenza.

1t is worthy OF remark that but for
the brightness OF the sky the stars
could be seen in daylight. Even as
matters stand, some of the brighter
OF them have been seen after sunrise
by explorers on high mountains,
where the air is very clear and the
sky dark blue. II we could go above
the atmosphere the sky would be Wis
ible right close up to the sun. As
tronomers observe bright stars in
daytime by using long focus tele-
scopes, the dark tubes of which cut
off the side light and persons in the
bottom Of deep wells have noticed
stars passing ovehead, the side light
being reduced by the great depths of
the wells.

A Renaissance.

When reading the "reminiscences OF
General Gordon of the Confederate
Army, recently published, we cannot
iail to notice his intense religious
spirit; the spirit that inspired revlvals
in the Southern camps, and caused
the Confederate soldiers to display
persistent courage during the war.
Gordon had such keen sense Of hu-
NOR that, as if afraid to portray the
horrors of war too vividly, he turned
aside occasionally, and with curious
abruptness, to describe the humorous
aspect of an incident OF a person. He
saws that General Polk, j Bishop OF
the Episcopal Church, was an admlrer
of General Cheatham, the most &C
tive fighter in Johnston's army; that
Cheatham's battle cry was Give EN-
hell, boys!" and that the scrupulous
Bishop in times of excitement always
shouted to his men, "Give it to 'em:
BOYS! Give 'em what General Cheat
ham says| A similar story is told OF
General Pendleton, an Episcopal
clergyman, and chief of Lees artil-
lery. He always prefaced his COM
mand to "hre" with the words The
Lord have mercy on your souls"

also native of Syracuse, were married
in Bridgeport Conn.,, by Justice OF

was witnessed by Mr.. and Mrs. ]. FL.
Sharp Jr., of Indianapolis; Blanche
Bates, the actress; George b. Van
Cleve of New York, and C. w. Bobbs,
of Bobbs- Merrill Company.
1t is said that Mrs. kenyon, mother
of the bride, was opposed to the match,
which was in the nature of an elop-

obstacles in the path of the couple.
The wedding was to have taken place

Montezuma, May 27-Some of the
editors of our daily and weekly pa
pers, who think that the good roads
millennium has arrived, that the enthus-
iasm over the King road drag is uni
versal, should visit some of the towns
the writer has seen during the past
ten days There is one exception to be
noted here and that is the town of
Traer. Three days after tine big rains
of the 18th to the 18th inst, while the
roads were still soft, four horses We're
hitched on to a road drag, and all over
the principal streets and the main
roads leading to town this drag was
hauled till the result was alot of streets
and roads that resembled race
track Here is what is now to be seen
in many Iowa towns two weeks after
the referred to big rain The bus
starts from the depot in ruts so deer
that in many places the hubs OF the
wheels strike the ground, and occa-
sionally the back steps hit the ele-
waited places on each side of the ruts
where the horses travel. Outside OF
this track the now baked roads are
rough with deep horse tracks, making
"a turn out" dangerous thing for the
wagon springs and a cause OF mucf
profanity on the part of the travelling
men whose early education was neg
lected. 1t is fact that in one of these
towns on the main street in front OF
the hotel. are wagon ruts twelve inches
deep. and everywhere this hard bakec
road full of tracks of horses, MADE
while the roads were soft, is almost as
impossible as the ice frozen on the lake

some taxpayer has not had suggested
