Some Seasonable Advice.

1t may be a piece of superfluous ad-
vice to urge people at this season of the
year to lay in supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over. and much
more prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tied in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
This remedy is so widely known and so
altogether good that no one should hesi-
tate about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by j. w. Bell, Wal
halla, w. j. Lunney, Seneca.

Don't Borrow Trouble.

1t is a bad habit to borrow anything,
but the worst thing you can possibly
borrow is trouble. When sick, sore,
heavy, weary and worn-out by the pains
and poisons of dyspepsia, blliousness,
Brights disease, and similar internal
disorders, don't sit down and brood over
your symptoms, but fly for relief to
Electric Ritters. Here you will find sure
and permanent forgetfulness of all your
troubles, and your body will not be bur
dened by load of debt disease. At all
drug stores. Price SOC. Guaranteed.

 The Country club scored a big suc- cess, last Tuesday night, at their club rooms.

EDITORIAL INK DROPS'

In regard to the demurrage law now dorses the New Haven Leaders view of the question. In Tuesdays issue Editor Pickett said: The existing law allows four days for the loading or unloading of car, and the result is that the Consolidated railroad, because of this law, has been paying about $5, 900 day to other railroads Tor the detention of their cars beyond the AS hours limit allowed by the rules gov erning the companies generally. The railroad companies would like to have a AS hours limit in this state. A number of the leading manufacturers think this is too radical change but have signed letter that they are will ing to have the time reduced to three days. Repeal of the demurrage law would save the railroad company a great deal of money, which means that it would save the patrons of the road an equal sum in direct dollars and an even bigger sum in other benefits Quick mo vement of freight is always desirable and particularly so in times when business is rushing. Connecticut is to-day being diScriminated against by all the leading railroads in the country because of this demurrage law which ties up freight cars at depots for four days. All over the country there is a big demand for use of cars and naturally enough the railroad companies favor the shippers in states where the demurrage law allows only two days for de tentiOn of cars, hence Come cticut plays second fiddle ali the time. It gets service after everybody else has been served. In times of greatest prosperity the business men of this state suffer the greatest handi' cap-the handicap of utter inability to get freight cars for incoming or out going freight.

DEPOT BUILDING BURNED
 Shortly before o'clock, last Friday morning, the station building was dis covered to be on fire, and soon after wards freight train came up and gave the alarm. L.Goulett, with the help of the train men, tried to save his railroad books, also MT Goulett's new piano that was in the baggage room, but the smoke was so suffocat- ing they were unable to save anything. The origin of the tire is mystery, as the fire was in the top part of the building when first seen. L.

The building had been built by stockholders, instead of the railroad company, and it was in- sured.
