ALAxATIVE COUGH SYRUP.

"A cold or cough nearly always pro- duces constipation-the water all runs to the eyes, nose and throat instead of passing out of the system through the liver and kidneys. For the want of moisture the bowels become dry and hard" Kennedy'S Laxative Honey and Tar is the original Laxative Cough Syrup. It meets and corrects the above conditions, by acting as a pleasant cathartic on the bowels-expels all colds from the system and cures all coughs, croup, whooping cough, grip, bronchitis, etc. s. B.

We publish in full this week an
open letter to Senator Tillman
written by DR.. George B. Cromer. Of
Newberry. The admirable tone and
conservatism of this letter and, with
al, its clear-cut logical argument,
make it peculiarly interesting just at
this time, taken in connection with
the recent exposures touching the
ssgreat moral institution" and the
agitation pro and con brought about
by the proposed elections i'll the diff
ferent counties under the Brice bill
Calmly, coul teously and dispassion
ately DR.. Cromer sizes up the situa-
ton and the argument he adduces
against the dispeneary as system
seems to be irrefutable.

A. Trying Experience.

Tuesday DR.. E. j. Farlow, Mrs. Far
low, Miss Leola and Paul, left for Cres
ton 10 visit Miss Leola's ranch. Wher
crossing the Cheyenne river they mel
with an accident which might have been
much worse, although 1t was bad enough
The carriage overturned and threw them
all into the river DR.. Farlow and Miss
Leola both had their right arms dislo.
Gated. Paul very nearly drowned as he
lacked very little of going under the ice.
Mrs. Farlow succeeded in getting help,
and she and George Ehrler were fortu'
nate enough to force Miss Leola's arm
into place. As they could not come
back that night they went on to the
Kube RANCH which now belongs to DR..
Farlow, and upon which Henry Meyers
and family live. Miss Farlow pluckily
spent the night on her ranch, and yes
terday they all came back to town. DR..
Farlow's arm was much harder to man
age, and Drs. Waldron and Jackson had
to administer chloroform before it could
be properly put back in place. The ex.
perience is one which the family will
not soon forget.-Rapid City Journal g.
Miss Farlow is one of the teachers in
our public schools. She left Custer for
Rapid City three weeks ago to spend the
holiday vacation with her parents and
friends.
