A Night Attack.

Last night the little daughter
of Mrs. Brown, as she sweetly and
peacefully slept in her little bed
near the window, was attacked by
a death-dealing demon known as
Group Whooping Cough, and but
for the timely use of Kennedy's
Laxative Honey and Tar, which
she always keeps handy, the life
of the little one might not have
been saved. Kenndey's Laxative
Honey and Tar is different from
all of the old-time cough syrups
and is best for children because
it acts on the bowels, is harmless
safe and certain. Contains no
opiates. Sold by Opera House
Drug store.

not gone a little too far. Ger

not fail to injure the causes OF

has been stirred up and bitter de-

each other by the opponents on
both sides. This is a condition
to be deplorcd, and the best way

The estimate of the Agrlcult-
ural Department that the winter
wheat crop of the country show
ed an average condition of 9l,6
per cent on April l is evidence
Of the favorable effect Of the old-
fashioned winter on this lmpor-
tant crop. This average compares
with 500 in December last, 76.5
a year ago, and 1896 at the
same date in 1903. The improve
nent in condition since last WIN
ter is the largest for ten years
But for the drought OF last fall
The average would have been
still higher. The wheat crop has
numerous >icissitudes If spring
and summer to encounter before
the harvest is completed. But
the present prospect is for a
large crop of winter wheat. with
a total wheat yield in the neigh
borhood Of 5OO,OoO,oco bushels
If this expectation is not defeat
ed by subsequent adverslties such
a Weld will give the industrial
masses cheaper flour and will fur
nish its share toward the per
manence of commercial and IN
