Is SPOKEN.

EVER THE NGLlSH LANGUAGE
IS SPOKEN.
EOr the autumn season now at hand
the most valuable paper to you will be
the New York Thrice-a-Week World,
because it offers you more at the price
than any other paper published any
where in tho world.
This is a time of great events. We
are having great wars, and many other
changes of a stirring kind are occur
ring both at home and abroad. The
Thrice-a-Week World comes to you
every other day, except Sunday, with
all the news, fully, accurately and
promptly told.
The Thrice-a- Week World is fair in
its political reports. You a get the
truth from it's columns, whether you
are Republican or Democrat, and that
is what you want.
The Week World always
has Il serial story running, and it is al
ways a first class story by a first-class
author. The Thrice-a-Week World
publishes better fiction than any other
newspaper in the United States. Spe-
cial attention is also given to markets,
and there are many other valuable fea-
lures.
The Thrice-a-Wee Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 per year,
and this pays for 1856 papers. We offer
this unequalled newspaper and The
OPELoUsAs COURIER together one year
for 81. so.

two papers is $500.

Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan has announced through the
columns OF his paper, The !Commoner,
that the principal u of democratic
defeat this year was that the men who
secured control of the party organiza-
ton at st. Louis sounded IL retreat
when a charge should have been Or
dered all along the line. He insists that
conditions demand radical action, and
that the people want something definite
upon which they can rely. The Com
moner, he announces, will carry on a
campaign of education, advocating
tariff reform, the overthrow of private
m%onopolies, labor legislation, municipal
ownership of public utilities, public
ownership of railroads n telegraph
systems, an income tax, the election OF
federal judges by the people, the eiec-
ton of United States senAtHis 10y pnpu-
lar vote, direct legislation, aud the So
lection of postmasters by the people
whom they are to serve.
1t will be necessary to regain control
of the party organization. To do this
the friends of reform throughout the
entire country must work together. A
democratic paper of national scope Of
fers the best IA for carrying on this
work, and The Commoner occupies this
field. Inc campaign or education ana
organization which Mr.. Bryan an
nounces will be carried IN through The
Commoner will not only be interesting
and instructive. but every democrat and
independent thinker should receive The
Commoner regularly. so as to keep in
touch with the progress the reform
forces are making, and to fortify him
self with facts and arguments to con
vince his republican neighbor that the
democratic party offers the surest relief
from class legislation and trust dnmin-
alton.
The low rate wl,ic. Mr.. Bryan has
quoted US III his paper enables us To
send you The CemmOner and Opeluusas
COURIER both one year for $2.25. Get
your n%eigllbors to join you in circnlat-

No Poison in Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of
New South Wales. Australia, had an
analysis made of all the cough medi-
cines that were sold in that market.
Out of the entire list they found only
one that they declared was entirely
free from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain's Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa, U. S. A.
The absence of all narcotics makes this
remedy the safest and best that can be
had; and it is with a feeling Of security
that any mother can give it to her little
ones. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is especially recommended by its max
ers for coughs, colds, Group and whoop-
ing cough. When taken in time it pre-
vents pneumonia. This remedy is for
sale by all druggists and dealers of
patent medicines.

The surest way tt build up the South
is to strengthen it's cotton growing in
dustry by every possible Que
way to establish cotton factories of a
size no greater than the girls and women
in the locality who need employment
ian operate. In every town that has
an electric power plant factories of this
kind can be successfully operated. In
time the South would turn out the finest
of cotton fabrics, which would increase
the annual receipts from cotton and
help to enhance the value of raw mate
rial. What stronger inducement could
be offered to immigrants than the fact
that every town in the South has I'M
ployment for every girl and woman that
stands in need of it. Aside from these
obvious economic advantages let us
think of the good that these factories
would do to SO many women who have
need forlight employment.-The People
